1. 1. Spatial Stories of Peace. The case of the Greater Gola Landscape.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Nicholas Eklund; [2024]
   Keywords : spatial theory; Liberia; Sierra Leone; environmental peacebuilding; conservation; case study; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis follows the interdisciplinary tradition that exists in global studies by performing a spatial analysis of the imaginary of peace(s) and conservation as a practice of peace(s) and thus contributing to the fields of environmental peacebuilding, peace- and conflict studies, and geography. The thesis has its theoretical starting point in environmental peacebuilding and is drawing and building on spatial theory as a way of understanding the construction of peace(s) in the context of the Greater Gola Landscape, straddling the border of Sierra Leone and Liberia.

3. 2. Exploring the effects of pressure on the magnetic properties of quasi-low dimensional quantum magnets via thermodynamic measurements

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Emelie Zhu; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Four model solid state compounds were used to experimentally investigate the effects of pressure on the interactions in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic models. BaCuSi2O6, BaCu2V2O8, SrCuO2 and CuGeO3 were successfully synthesized via solid-state reactions and characterized via x-ray diffraction. READ MORE

4. 3. Implementation of Level of Development for BIM Collaboration in Timber Building Subsystems Design: A Case Study of I-Joist Construction Elements

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Isabell Gustafsson; [2024]
   Keywords : BIM; I-Joist; LOD; Level of Development; Timber Building Subsystems;

   Abstract : Due to time, cost, and environmental challenges, wood has become a more common building material even for more complex buildings. Implementing the concept of Level of Development (LOD) on timber structures could provide a tool for BIM collaboration that may save cost and time, and in the early stages mediate wood as an available building material.

5. 4. How to Draw a Circle: Investigating Relationship Management in Circular Business Companies

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för företagande och ledning

   Author : Louise Lee Hultberg; Aidan Luke Catterall Byrne; [2024]
   Keywords : Circular Business Models; Sustainability; Relationship Management; Circular Ecosystems; Constructivist Grounded Theory;

   Abstract : Despite the recent surge in circular business model (CBM) research, the discipline is still in its infancy. The field is primarily driven by practitioners and lacks suggestive frameworks, which complicates current CBM trials. READ MORE

6. 5. Increasing the diodicity of ceramic Tesla valves by exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing : A study in design optimizations of Tesla valves for ceramic 3D printing

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Udit Sharma; [2024]
   Keywords : additive; manufacturing; Tesla; valve; ceramic; 3D; printing;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis was conducted at Uppsala University and at Fraunhofer IKTS, Dresden. The thesis aims to study design optimizations for increasing the diodicity and thereby performance of a Tesla valve, a type of “no moving parts” (NMP) valve, through design freedoms offered by ceramic additive manufacturing.
