This research is concerned with the relation between racism and the notion of rurality. More specifically, it studies a formally defined rural area in France where the State relocated migrants between 2016 and 2019, placing them in a derelict military camp. By so doing, the study contributes to the ongoing debate whether the rural-urban dichotomy should be considered a sufficiently realistic or de

The main finding of this research is that it is unrealistic to expect that it is possible to create one common European understanding of the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour; it is only possible to achieve one common European just culture policy if there is one common European understanding of the term 'gross negligence' as introduced in The Regulation. The importance

Praxis is born out of critical discussions and reflections on violence, justice, and peace, taking place in a classroom at Lund University in a course led by Barbara Magalhães Teixeira and Christie Nicoson (shoutout!). It is the result of frustration linked to the current global state of affairs, as well as the colonial and patriarchal legacies and continued practices within the field we seek a pl

Microcontrollers have become an integral part of modern everyday embedded systems, such as smart bikes, cars, and drones. Typically, microcontrollers operate under real-time constraints, which require the timely execution of programs on the resource-constrained hardware. As embedded systems are becoming increasingly more complex, microcontrollers run the risk of violating their timing constraints,

The notion of patient safety entails protecting patients from preventable harm. This thesis presents suggestions on how the healthcare system, notably psychiatric healthcare, can understand and analyse patient safety risk as an emergent property of everyday interactions and relations. This view has itsconceptual roots in complexity theory.The overall aim is to understand patient safety risk as an

As the dream of autonomous vehicles moving around in our world comes closer, the problem of robust localization and mapping is essential to solve. In this inherently structured and geometric problem we also want the agents to learn from experience in a data driven fashion. How the modern Neural Network models can be combined with Structure from Motion (SfM) is an interesting research question and As the dream of autonomous vehicles moving around in our world comes closer, the problem of robust localization and mapping is essential to solve.

The "Make, reuse, repair, recycle" is an alternative model to the the linear model "Take, make, waste" and aims to reduce the environmental impact of home deliveries, particularly by reducing the packaging waste. This model was tested in a real-life context in which the secondary packaging was returned and reuse multiple times. This model sets the scene to more circular and sustainable last-mile d

My research is concerned with the co-optation of sustainability, feminism, and social justice within and by the fast fashion industry in Sweden. This stems from a desire to understand the acceleration of sustainability discourse and narratives built by brands (through communication, advertisement, marketing, and sustainability reporting) and how this shapes consumption. I argue that the dominating

Diversification of anaerobic digestion into higher value products, namely volatile fatty acids (VFAs), is receiving interest. One of the biggest challenges with this is recovery of the VFAs. Membrane extraction can be used, and a novel process configuration using a non-porous silicone membrane and water for an extractant is proposed here. This process would enable the reduction in the number of d

Background: Perceived occupational value is an important treatment outcome but is still relatively unexplored as a phenomenon. Aim: To evaluate whether the Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) intervention for people with mental health issues was effective compared to Standard Occupational Therapy (SOT) regarding improvement on three dimensions of occupational value (concrete, socio-symbolic and self-rew

On the market for quality wine, quality is generally defined by the liquid’s connection to a time, space, and person(s) of origin. This connection is achieved through material-discursive versions of terroir. While the consequences of this aesthetic regime have been well-studied, little attention has been given to the artefact through which the connection is enacted: the bottle. This paper, based o

As there is an increasing trend in the large-scale flood disaster caused by short-duration rainfall in Japan, the discussion of the disaster prevention is renewed into “River Basin Disaster Resilience and Sustainability by All” recently. Given the enormous impact of maximum runoff on flood damage, this study mainly focuses on the peak-cutting and detention effect in the agricultural area where far

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the thermal conductivity of gas diffusion layers (GDLs) when subjected to different operating temperatures. The measurement apparatus is completely designed and the thermal conductivities are evaluated for five different GDL samples. The amount of catalyst material within the GDLs is also considered in the current study. Based on the obtained measurements,

Using the respective theories of recognition and social justice by Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser, this master thesis explores how public librarians understand the concept of social justice and how this concept relates to their daily work. It also examines to what extent the recognition theory can serve as an analytical tool in order to understand the social function of the public library. The stud

Quantum thermodynamics deals with the behavior of thermal machines that operate in the quantum regime, where coherences and entanglement can have a significant impact. However, detecting such quantum effects in thermal machines can be challenging, as they are primarily manifested as fluctuations. This thesis theoretically studies the protocol for the work fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) fro
