A just transition to a sustainable transport system requires the inclusion of all groups. Without a social justice perspective, solutions risk reinforcing existing inequalities. With a focus on mobility hubs, a place where different transportation modes are integrated, this study aims to examine how gender and socio-economic status are addressed in the planning of a sustainable transport system. A

Cloudbursts and flooding that results from such intense rainfall constitute a growing risk as climate change intensifies precipitation patterns. This is a growing issue that municipalities can no longer ignore; they must actively address it. The issue of cloudbursts is highly relevant given the future climate risks we face, and it is important that Swedish cities are prepared. In this context, the

This study aims to explore inter-agency collaborative efforts with GIS, short for Geographical Information Systems, in Sweden. BrandGIS is a new GIS-tool developed as a collaborative effort by GIS-employees of Swedish counties as a part of the BrandGIS project. During 2014-2018 a number of wildfires occurred in Sweden where a deficiency of accurate and up-to-date maps led to a desire among GIS-emp

This study critically examines how nature is mobilized in the urban planning discourse of Västra Hamnen, Malmö, and explores the implications for justice and the distribution of green infrastructure. Combining Urban Political Ecology (UPE) with Nesbitt et al.’s (2018) framework on Urban Green Equity, the analysis integrates thematic readings of planning documents, site observations, and an informa

The crucial effects of climate change have made the question about sustainability even more urgent and important in today's society. To avoid further consequences, and create a sustainable future for future generations, we need a green transition. A key part of the green transition is the transition to sustainable, renewable energy which also is essential for phasing out the use of fossil fuel

This research examines the economic survival strategies of Somali women refugees, the factors that shaped those strategies, and critical constraints that hinder them from achieving sustainable livelihoods in Malaysia. Employing the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) and thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with Somali women and key informants from grassroots organizations, the resul

This thesis investigates how deforestation is problematized within the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and examines its implications for smallholder coffee producers in Rwanda. Drawing on Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the Problem Represented to Be?’ approach and postcolonial theory, the study analyzes how regulatory problem representations construct responsibility, knowledge, and complianc

This thesis studies the impact that seagrass meadows have in terms of attenuating incoming wave heights and mitigating coastal erosion. Specifically, this study seeks to investigate how seagrass meadows impact the coastline by looking at the longshore sediment transport, which has been identified as the key erosion process. This will be done by looking at the case study of Le Morne on Mauritius. T

Traditionally, radio communication research has focused on improving range and data transmission rates. Over the past decade, there has been a growing demand for small devices that should be able to interact with each other, and to facilitate this growth, low-cost and low-power radios are necessary to ensure devices are able to function for extended periods of time without maintenance. This thesis

The paper reviewed a collection of studies from 2015-2025 in Sweden on municipal organizational change, with the aim of discussing challenges and benefits during modern change processes and connecting it to previously existing theories. The results showed that there is some conflict between different governance models (mainly NPM and TBG), that TBG can be implemented differently in different munic

The segmentation and separation of objects in 3D medical imaging, particularly in Computed Tomography (CT), are essential for accurate diagnostics and preoperative planning. This master's thesis presents a tool for the interactive and automatic separation of segmented bones in CT scans, using the Random Walker algorithm and neural networks. The tool was developed to address challenges such as

In this thesis the neurological mechanisms responsible for navigation in the sweat bee, the bumblebee and the fruit fly are explored. The central complex (CX) in the insect brain is in focus. The CX is critical in deciding the insect’s head direction and in generating goaloriented movements. In this study a comparison is made on how these insects navigate in the absence of visual input. Through co

Styrning av partiklar med ljud och intelligenta algoritmer Det här examensarbetet handlar om att styra små partiklar i vätska utan att röra vid dem, med hjälp av ljud. Genom en teknik som kallas multimodal akustofores kombineras flera olika ljudvågor för att noggrant kunna påverka partiklarnas rörelser. Metoden är särskilt intressant inom biomedicin, till exempel vid analys av enskilda celler ellThis thesis explores a range of control algorithms for multimodal acoustophoresis, the process of manipulating particles in a fluid by simultaneously using several acoustic modes. The aim of the algorithms is to precisely guide particle trajectories in acoustofluidic systems, motivated by the demand for non-invasive, scalable manipulation techniques in biomedical applications such as single-cell a

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur naturreservatsföreskrifter påverkar fastighetsindelningen i Sverige. Syftet är dels att analysera rättsliga och praktiska aspekter av föreskrifter som begränsar fastighetsbildning, i synnerhet avstyckningsförbud, dels att bidra till ökad förståelse för hur miljörättsliga regler om områdesskydd påverkar fastighetsrätten. Arbetet belyser därmed gränsytan mellan milThis master’s thesis examines how nature reserve regulations in Sweden affect property division, with a focus on legal and practical aspects of restrictions on cadastral procedures, particularly restrictions on property formation (subdivision prohibitions). The purpose is to enhance the understanding of the relationship between environmental protection and real property law, and how these legal do

This thesis explores how electroencephalography (EEG) can be combined with virtual reality (VR) to study people’s responses during emergency evacuation scenarios. This is demonstrated through a pilot study in which people are exposed to different types of alarm: visual (flashing lights) and auditory (alarm sounds), while their cognitive load and behavioral response are observed. A VR fire evacuat

As transportation infrastructure networks continue to age, bridges have become critical components requiring monitoring activities to ensure safety and functionality. Inspections and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) play a vital role in aiding decision-makers in maintaining structural integrity. Drones have gained popularity for bridge inspections because they offer enhanced safety, efficiency,

High-flux hemodialysis (HD) and high-dose hemodiafiltration (HDF) are established treatments for patients with kidney failure. Since HDF has been associated with improved survival rates compared to HD, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of HDF compared to HD. Cost–utility analyses were performed from a societal perspective alongside the multinational randomized controlled CONVINCE trial. A Markov

NJA 2018 s. 753 – även benämnt Parkfastigheten – utgjorde en stor skiftning i LM:s prövningsförfarande. Rättsfallet innebär att LM ska pröva egendomsskyddet enligt 2 kap. 15 § RF när fastighetsbildning sker tvångsvis mot en enskild fastighetsägare. Eftersom rättsfallet avser överföring av enskild mark väcks frågan om intrångets karaktär förändras när åtgärden i stället gäller samfälld mark, servitThe Supreme Court’s judgement in NJA 2018 p. 753 marked a major shift in cadastral procedures. The judgement meant that the cadastral authority must apply property rights according to the Constitution of Law. Since the case involved compulsory reallotment procedure of private land, it raises questions if the intrusion changes when the measure involves jointly owned land, easement or the establishm

Sweden has received a high number of immigrants during the last decade. This has led to an increased ethnic and socioeconomic segregation in Swedish cities, which in turn has led to different integration initiatives to become more frequent. This thesis aims to investigate how a “buddy programme”, a social integration project that matches a newcomer and an established Swede together, can enrich the

What does it mean to have a virtual body and to use it in the virtual space? This thesis examines the daily activities of VRChat users in their virtual avatars, with a focus on the entanglement of the virtual nature of the avatars and the realities being brought into the avatars by the users. Based on my ethnography in VRChat, I have examined the mutual influence of virtuality and reality in terms
