Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is a gut-derived hormone of the neuropeptide Y family that regulates appetite, gastrointestinal motility, and energy homeostasis through activation of the neuropeptide Y4 receptor (Y4R). With the rising prevalence of obesity, understanding the molecular pharmacology and structure-function relationships of PP-Y4R interactions is essential for the development of novel ant
Improving the efficiency of combustion engines is crucial from an environmental perspective, serving as a complement to the transition towards the electrification of transportation. To optimize combustion efficiency, the amount of air in the cylinders needs to be estimated, which today is done by gray box-models based on traditional physics. This thesis examines the possibility of complementing th
This thesis investigates human–robot co-manipulation in which a mobile manipulator assists a person in handling and maneuvering a jointly held object. A cooperative control strategy is developed that enables the robot to guide its motion by the human forces transmitted through a jointly held object. In this framework, the mobile base provides the primary movement while the manipulator maintains ob
This architectural thesis investigates a general system for a sustainable tourism-related built environment in the Swedish mountains. With a growing interest in hiking and nature-based tourism, the Swedish mountain landscape has become an increasingly popular destination, while at the same time serving as important grazing land for reindeer. This calls for careful development and reduced environme
This thesis examines zoonotic disease as a possible contributing factor in the disappearance of the genome associated with hunter-gatherers during the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition in southern Scandinavia. While genetic studies show that hunter-gatherer ancestry disappeared around 5900 BP, the mechanisms behind this demographic change remain insufficiently explained. Building on recent archaeoge
Reliable six-degree-of-freedom pose estimation is a key requirement for autonomous on-orbit servicing (OOS), in which a robotic spacecraft performs tasks such as inspection, maintenance, and life extension of other satellites in orbit. However, generating trustworthy ground truth for algorithm development remains challenging. This thesis investigates calibration, sensor evaluation, and sensor fusi
Bend is a Naturum proposal located in Limhamn, Malmö, within a former limestone quarry. A Naturum is a Swedish visitor center designed to engage visitors with a site’s natural, cultural, and geological characteristics. In this project, Bend reinterprets the concept, translating the quarry’s qualities compression, fragility, and structural tension into architectural form. The design seeks to create
Accurate shallow-water bathymetry is essential for navigation safety and coastal zone management, but conventional hydrographic surveys are costly and spatially limited, especially in dynamic nearshore environments. This thesis evaluates the newly released ICESat-2 ATL24 bathymetry product. It investigates its suitability as training data for satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) using Sentinel-2 ima
Denna studie undersöker förtätningsprojektet DrottningH i Helsingborg Stad med fokus på social hållbarhet i området. DrottningH är ursprungligen ett miljonprogramsområde från 1960-talet som sedan 2012 genomgår ett omfattande omvandlingsprojekt. Projektet syftade till att fördubbla antalet bostäder från cirka 1 100 till 2 200 samtidigt som det arbetas med sociala och värdefulla insatser, detta fram

Arbetet som presenteras i denna rapport avser undersökningar av deformation och brottutveckling i träförband med dymlingar, med fokus på intryckningen av hålet under de första belastningstimmarna. Examensarbetet är ett fortsättningsarbete på ett pågående forskningsprojekt där både korttids- och långtidsförsök har genomförts. I långtidsförsöken belastades förbanden med en konstant last motsvara
The building sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily due to two factors: the embodied energy of construction materials and the operational energy consumed over a building’s lifespan. Given this substantial environmental impact, sustainability and climate resilience have become critical priorities in global policy frameworks. Addressing this challenge requires
This thesis proposes a multi-step methodology for short-term photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting in regions lacking extensive historical PV generation data, with a case study conducted in Dewathang, Bhutan. As Bhutan’s energy security faces increasing threats from climate change—primarily due to its heavy reliance on hydropower—there is growing national interest in diversifying energy sources, par
Den skotska regeringen har åtagit sig att genomföra en rättvis omställning till en klimatneutral ekonomi till år 2045. En viktig del av klimatarbetet inkluderar restaurering av natur, för att minska utsläpp av växthusgaser och öka upptag i koldioxidsänkor. Regeringen driver för ökade privata investeringar i restaurering av natur, genom bland annat generering av kolkrediter. Denna studie syftar tilThe Scottish Government has committed to achieving a just transition to a net-zero economy by 2045. As part of its decarbonisation strategy, it has promoted private investment in nature-based solutions through the development of carbon credit schemes. This thesis examines the extent to which carbon credit schemes in Scotland – specifically the Peatland Code and the Woodland Carbon Code – support a
