The research questions touch upon the following topics: what categories of sou

Kollektivtrafiken är en viktig del av transportsektorn för att uppnå både EU:s och Sveriges klimatmål. För att fler resor ska kunna ersättas med hållbara resor behöver kollektivtrafiken bli mer attraktiv, och ett utvecklingsområde för det är att förbättra trafikinformationen. Trafikinformation värderas högt, inte bara utifrån dess tillgänglighet, utan även utifrån kvaliteten. Den påverkar både denPublic transport is an important part of the transport sector in achieving both the EU’s and Sweden’s climate goals. In order to replace more journeys with sustainable alternatives, public transport needs to become more attractive, and one area for development is the improvement of traffic information. Traffic information is highly valued, not only in terms of its availability, but also in terms o

Women Environmental Human Rights Defenders (WEHRDs) safeguard biodiversity, community well- being, and place-based knowledge systems. Yet, WEHRDs, particularly in Colombia, face heightened levels of psychological violence—including threats, defamation, and emotional exhaustion—deeply tied to the extractivist economic model that underpins systemic exploitation of land and communities. In my thesis,

In 2024 Eslöv published an initiative to invest in the municipalities’ school libraries. Focusing on equality, the desired effect of the school library initiative was described as increased student results and reading. In light of the coming changes in The Education Act, we argue that the initiative is interesting to study. The purpose of this essay is to contribute with knowledge about what char

Bakgrund: Extrakorporeal membransyresättning (ECMO) är en avancerad livsuppehållande behandling som kräver kompetens, erfarenhet och utbildning. Sjuksköterskan har en central roll i arbetet inom ECMO. Rollen präglas av komplexitet och ansvarstagande. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbete inom ECMO-vården. Metod: En kvalitativ systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes. DatainsaBackground: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced life-sustaining treatment that requires competence, experience and training. The nurse plays a central role in ECMO care. This role is characterized by complexity and responsibility. Aim: To highlight experiences of nurses working in ECMO care. Method: A qualitative systematic literature review was performed.

Too dangerous to forget – a semiotic and contextual study of the memorial Romanoparken – Sång om en plats This essay examines the memorial Romanoparken – Sång om en plats (2020), which embodies Roma memories. However, there are risks with memorials when they take the material form of a monument that they are seen as completed actions and the completion can lead to distancing oneself from the

Landscapes fill a fundamental function of the human experience. The variance of these landscapes however, are vast, and arguably, so could the human experience of them and the ways they are expressed linguistically be as well. Of the few studies that so far has been conducted on this, none has focused on North America as a whole in a quantitative manner. This study aims to explore what systems lan

Forced displacement is a growing issue worldwide, driving individuals to flee and leave their livelihoods behind. Many of those forced to flee in previous years are now undergoing repatriation, with the number of returns expected to rise. However, Afghanistan’s unstable conditions, particularly for women, pose economic challenges for returnees. It may restrict their ability to effectively cope wit

Hur kan man bäst bestämma varifrån en bild är tagen? Den frågan har blivit mer relevant de senaste åren när krig och konflikter kommit närmare inpå. GPS-jamming är vanligt förekommande inom teknologisk krigföring, vilket gör våra nuvarande positioneringssystem opålitliga. Inom autonoma fordon är frågan högst relevant för att möjliggöra säker navigering i en föränderlig miljö. Även populärkulturellIn this thesis project we present a 2D-3D matching method leveraging fused local and global descriptors for robust camera pose estimation. The query image is localized by incorporating a covisibility search method to identify multiple candidate parts of the scene where the query camera is likely to be located. The localization begins with a search that looks through database images, collect associ

The Traditional Knowledge (TK) of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) plays a crucial role in addressing the biodiversity and climate crises. Yet, market- and state-driven governance of TK continues to assist and enables its exploitation. I investigate the potential of Traditional Knowledge Commons to protect the knowledge and rights of IPLC from violations. Through a multi-case study

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

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health concern, driven by the overuse of antibiotics and a lack of new drug development. To address this challenge, alternative antibacterial targets involved in essential bacterial functions are being explored. In this study, three compounds were synthesized using N-acetylglucosamine as the starting material. One of these compounds serves as a ke

This thesis explores the backgrounds and socio-ecological systems of ethnic communities in rapidly growing coffee destinations in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. Using a political ecology approach, it investigates the resilience of coffee-producing villages where ethnic minorities maintain unique cultures and identity. The study highlights ecological vulnerability and socio-political marginalisatio

Arctic coastal fishing communities face rapid environmental, social, and regulatory changes that challenge their adaptive capacity and resilience. Focusing on Moskenes on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway and approaching the case with a critical perspective on social resilience theory, this study investigates the adaptability of coastal fisheries and how their adaptive capacity is affected by

The global fashion industry causes severe environmental and social harm, underscoring the urgent need for a sustainability transition. Circular Business Models, such as Fashion Rental Services (FRS), represent a promising yet currently limited alternative with reduced environmental impacts. This study presents a case study of the fashion industry’s sustainability transition by exploring FRS in Swe

Byggprojekt är ofta långvariga och involverar ett flertal aktörer med varierande organisatoriska egenskaper och mål. Detta skapar en komplex samarbetsmiljö och samverkansentreprenader har därmed blivit en vanlig genomförandeform för att hantera detta. Upplägget präglas av öppenhet, förtroende och gemensamma mål mellan parterna, vilket syftar till att nå bättre förutsättningar för genomförande av p

Europas flygbransch står inför stora utmaningar och förändringar, präglade av tilltagande miljökrav, geopolitisk osäkerhet, konjunktursvängningar och förändrade resmönster. Samtidigt kvarstår effekter från tidigare kriser, såsom Covid-19 pandemin. I ljuset av den förändrade marknadsdynamiken växer ett nytt segment fram, där modellen ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance), blir alltmer centr

Svenskarnas skuldberg växer och unga vuxna svenskar tar konsumtionslån i allt större utsträckning. Det är oklart vad denna ökning beror på, men det är möjligt att psykologiska variabler spelar in. Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var därför att undersöka sambanden mellan finansiell förmåga, ensamhet och känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) samt deras förmåga att predicera benägenheten att ta konsumtionslIn Sweden, the amount of young people taking consumption loans is growing. The reasons behind this increase are unclear, and could potentially be explained by psychological factors, rather than economic ones. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was therefore to examine the relationships between financial literacy, loneliness, and sense of coherence (SOC) and their ability to predict the like
