1. 1. Building performance optimisation tools for the decarbonisation of Swedish buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Nadja Baden; Marziyeh Taghizadeh; [2023]
   Keywords : Optimisation; Parametric design; Decarbonisation; Renovation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : To mitigate climate change and reach Sweden’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, or at an earlier stage of 2030 for 23 Swedish cities, urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the building sector’s significant contribution to carbon emissions, a crucial aspect in achieving these goals is improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as most of these will still be in use by this time.

3. 2. Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

   Author : Christine Vera Isabel Schmidt; [2023]
   Keywords : Enzymes; Pickering emulsion; Amine Transaminases; Green Chemistry; Stereoselectivity; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. READ MORE

4. 3. Glauber Monte-Carlo Simulation and Model Comparison in High-Energy Collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Sebastião De Sousa Castanheira Miranda; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a Glauber Monte-Carlo event generator is developed and used to analyze proton-Ion (p -$^{63}$Cu and p -$^{197}$Au) and Ion-Ion ($^{63}$Cu -$^{63}$Cu and $^{197}$Au -$^{197}$Au) collisions. Three different sub-collision models are implemented, the black disk, grey disk and oscillating grey disk models, and their validity is compared. READ MORE

5. 4. Towards low carbon buildings: A case study in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Huynh Tuan Tran; Victor-Antoine Delorme; [2023]
   Keywords : Life cycle assessment; Environmental impact of building materials; Carbon neutrality; Biobased material; Biochar; Cross Laminated Timber; Biogenic carbon; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.

6. 5. Where Something Goes Up, Something Else Goes Down : May a meeting between textile and glass disrupt the hierarchical order among materials and techniques?

   University essay from Konstfack/Inredningsarkitektur & Möbeldesign

   Author : Malin Glännestrand; [2022]
   Keywords : Glass; glasfiber; textile; interior designer; spatial design; materials; hierarchies; fusing; knitting; lighting;

   Abstract : We have a tendency to want to sort our surroundings, we set things against each other, value them and place them in a hierarchical order.Where something goes up, something else goes down.We attribute different properties to materials, techniques and spaces and load them with values.
