  1. 16. Air quality around preschools in Gothenburg: an evaluation of measurement methods

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Emma Forsmalm; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : low-cost sensors; passive diffusion samplers; pick-ups and drop-offs; regulatory measurements;

    Abstract : In this study the air quality around four different preschools, chosen to represent different local traffic environments, was measured and the measurement methods used were evaluated. The aim was to compare the information retrieved using different methods, discuss the possible applications of them and finally see if more specific activities, in this case pick-ups and drop-offs, could be seen in the data retrieved.

  3. 17. Machine Learning Prediction of Enzymes’ Optimal Catalytic Temperatures

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Camille Finlinson Porter; [2023-03-22]
    Keywords : enzyme; protein; amino acid; protein structure; optimal catalytic temperature;

    Abstract : Enzymes that have been genetically engineered to withstand high temperatures are used by industry to make products with less waste and pollution. Different features of protein structure affect the optimal catalytic temperature ("topt") at which enzymes catalyze reactions most efficiently. READ MORE

  4. 18. Paving the Way to Sustainability: Assessing the Impacts of Carbon Border Tariffs on the Steel Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Claudia Spanier; Kimya Rahmanian Aberouie; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon border tariffs; CO2 emissions; trade; steel; environmental policy; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This paper seeks to provide insights into the effects of carbon border tariffs and to offer guidance for policymakers. The focus is directed towards the steel sector - a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, where production practices vary significantly among countries, leading to differences in pollution levels.

  5. 19. Designing Behavioral Nudges for Increased Participation in Recycling as a Social Movement

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för konst, kultur och kommunikation (K3)

    Author : Raghdah Bankash; [2023]
    Keywords : Nudging Strategies; Interaction Design; Plastic Pollution; Behavioral Change; Behavioral Change Technology BCT ; Sustainable Behaviors; Sustainability; Society; Technology;

    Abstract : This thesis project is exploring and investigates the applications of different methods of reward and nudging strategies and their potential effect on motivating and directing people’s behavior to be more engaged in recycling as a social movement within the society of Saudi Arabia. By creating sustainable behaviors, we contribute to the solutions and help minimize the potential damage of plastic pollution. READ MORE

  6. 20. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Simon Dahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE
