The increasing global demand for sustainable energy has sparked interest in combining renewable technologies to leverage their synergies. This thesis presents a pre-feasibility study of a combined offshore wind and wave energy farm located off the coast of Galicia, Spain. In collaboration with Wavepiston, a Danish developer of wave energy converters (WECs), the study evaluates the integration of t
Purpose: The study aims to map and analyze the use of group contributions in corporate structures of municipalities in Skåne. By examining how municipalities with varying conditions utilize group contributions and identifying the factors influencing their decisions, the objective is to uncover patterns and potential challenges. Methodology: Due to the limited prior research on this topic, an expl
Title: Adoption of Digital Technologies in the Real Estate Sector: A study of factors that influence real estate companies' ability to adopt digital technologies.

Knowing whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are present in the body and to what extent, may be crucial to get an understanding of disease progression and the chosen method of treatment. Further it is of importance to be able to separate CTCs as they are significant when finding new biomarkers for different cancer types. However the research into this area is held back by non-efficient cell sepa
Annual cropping systems dominate agricultural grain production, but have been linked to several key environmental issues, such as loss of biodiversity and pollution of groundwater. Newly developed perennial grains may offer solutions to some of those problems. Their longer roots and growing seasons theoretically enable them to act as sinks of atmospheric carbon. This study set out to compare soil-
Progressing urbanisation puts strong pressure on existing infrastructure, forcing new projects to provide for society’s increased demand. Owing to modern state-of-the-art knowledge and imposed regulations, publicly driven initiatives are mandatory to use Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technologies for project realisation. The thesis examines High Sp
This study examined how amount of social media use, type of content and type of engagement relate to adolescent mental health and wellbeing. It also explored whether gender and social comparison orientation moderated these relationships. Using a cross-sectional survey study design, objective screen time data and self-report measures of content (photo, video, and text) and engagement (passive vs. a
This thesis investigates the effect of fund reclassification under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) on capital flows in the Swedish mutual fund market. Specifically, this study examines whether a downgrade from Article 9 to Article 8 affects investor behavior by analyzing net fund flows before and after reclassification. The study is based on a dataset covering the period 20
Quantum effects at the nanoscale offer significant potential for future device technologies. A quantum dot heat engine, for instance, is able to convert heat into electrical current. This thesis investigates the transport properties and current fluctuations in a single-level quantum dot heat engine operating in the sequential tunneling regime. Based on the existing experimental data, both the curr
This thesis studies whether in-utero drought exposure increases infant mortality and whether groundwater access can buffer this effect. Using georeferenced DHS data from Tanzania and high-resolution rainfall and groundwater data, I find that each additional month of in-utero drought raises infant mortality by 0.4 percentage points, which is a 5 percent increase relative to the sample mean. Importa
Denna avhandling undersöker hur konsultföretags mål för mångfald och inkludering (D&I) överensstämmer med etniska minoritetsanställdas upplevda erfarenheter i en nordisk kontext. Även om många organisationer har infört D&I-program visar forskning att sådana initiativ riskerar att bli symboliska om de inte är genuint integrerade i företagskulturen. Med hjälp av fallstudier från CGI, DeloitThis thesis examines how the diversity and inclusion (D&I) objectives of consulting firms align with the lived experiences of ethnic minority employees in the Nordic context. While many organisations have implemented D&I programs, research indicates that such initiatives risk becoming symbolic if not genuinely embedded in company culture. Drawing on case studies from CGI, Deloitte, and EY,
In a VUCA world, characterized by complex, unpredictable, ambiguous and rapidly changing conditions, organizations and their managers are constantly faced with interpreting and responding to disruption. While research has investigated how disruption can be navigated, the perspective of how individual managers more concretely navigate disruption remains comparatively underexplored. The purpose
This thesis explores how Ukrainian refugee entrepreneurs mobilize social capital to establish transnational ventures in Poland following the 2022 Russian invasion. While transnational entrepreneurship has received growing academic attention, limited research exists on how forced migrants leverage social ties across borders under conditions of displacement and war. Drawing on ten semi-structured in
The life science industry has strong female representation at entry levels, yet women remain underrepresented in senior leadership roles. A range of structural and cultural barriers contribute towards this imbalance, one of which is the enduring association between leadership and masculine-coded traits. Masculine-coded traits, often termed as agentic (e.g., assertiveness and dominance), are often
This study explores disaster communication for people experiencing homelessness in the capital region of Iceland. Traditional methods often fail to reach vulnerable populations who require alternative approaches effectively. The objective is to understand and improve disaster communication for people experiencing homelessness and identify possible improvements. To address this, in-depth interviews
This thesis investigates the K±/(π+ + π−) yield ratio near Ξ − ¯Ξ pairs in pp collisions at mid-rapidity (|η| < 1) to distinguish between two competing models of strangeness enhancement: the rope hadronization model, implemented in PYTHIA, and the canonical statistical hadronization model, implemented in Thermal-FIST. The results from both models show strong agreement with experimental data from t
The emergence of 6G technology represents a pivotal milestone in telecommunications and device connectivity, transforming a new era for wireless systems, particularly for Internet of Things (IoT) and extended reality (XR) applications. This Master’s thesis investigates the design implementations of Van Atta arrays---passive antenna systems designed to redirect (rather than reflect) incoming signal
Kirizuma is a dining table influenced by Japanese and Swedish form language that adapts to compact living in Japan, while still supporting everyday family meals and gatherings. In cities like Tokyo and Kamagasaki, where tradition meets density, design must respond not only to spatial constraints but also to deeply rooted cultural rituals. The table takes its name and form from the traditional kir
