This thesis interrogates Rome’s housing cooperative sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities housing cooperatives face in providing affordable housing for their members. It analyses Rome’s housing regime to present the housing context in which housing cooperatives operate. The thesis explores what housing affordability means within the eternal city, moving beyond a simple income ratio

Värmeböljor förväntas bli vanligare och mer intensiva till följd av klimatförändringar vilket ökar behovet av geografiska analyser av värmesårbarhet i urbana miljöer som är särskilt värmeutsatta. Denna studie undersöker hur olika metoder för konstruktion av värmesårbarhetsindex påverkar identifieringen av sårbara områden i Malmö. Två etablerade metoder jämförs: ett additivt, oviktat index och ett Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent and intense because of climate change, increasing the need for geographical analyses of heat vulnerability, particularly in heat-exposed urban environments. This study examines how different methods for constructing heat vulnerability indices affect the identification of vulnerable areas in Malmö. Two established methods are compared: an additive, unw

In early 2026, the European Union (EU) adopted the Omnibus I proposal to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by reducing reporting burdens and enhancing competitiveness. However, it has been criticised for weakening sustainability ambitions and increasing uncertainty about future sustainability reporting. This thesis examines how sustainability professionals percei

Firearm-related crime presents a significant challenge in forensic investigations, particularly when in court indirect contact is invoked as an alternative explanation for the presence of DNA on a weapon. This study aimed to characterise location-specific DNA distribution patterns from different firearm handling scenarios and to assess whether these patterns can support activity-level evaluation i

Fifth-Generation New Radio (5G NR) base stations produce detailed scheduling logs that record per-slot decisions, channel measurements, and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback at sub-millisecond granularity. Diagnosing anomalies in these logs currently requires domain experts to spend approximately one hour of manual inspection per file, and no standardised tooling exists for automated

Early Warning Systems (EWS) are crucial for safeguarding communities, but are vulnerable to failure due to a technocratic focus that excludes local communities. This thesis closes the gap between normative participatory principles and practical implementation by exploring the entry points or challenges that affect community participation. Adopting a complexity theory lens, the study conducts a qua

This thesis presents the development of a prototype for a concealed power strip integrated into the underside of a sofa. The aim is to improve accessibility to electrical outlets while maintaining a clean and unobtrusive appearance in the living environment. The solution is designed to both hide cables and allow convenient access to power when seated, while ensuring sufficient ground clearance for

Examensarbetet genomfördes på uppdrag av ett företag som utvecklar mjukvara för flygbolag. Företaget använde ett internt simuleringsverktyg för att testa sina kartapplikationer, vilket hade växt fram organiskt utan fokus på användbarhet. Detta hade resulterat i ett verktyg som upplevdes svårt att använda och tidskrävande för de anställda på företaget. Syftet med examensarbetet var att analysera de

Syfte & mål: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur byggnadsdelar ska projekteras för att möjliggöra framtida demontering och återbruk utan bearbetning. Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om demonteringens utveckling för hela byggnadsdelar. Målet är att identifiera tekniska lösningar som skapar förutsättningar för en effektiv demontering. Genom att analysera ett antal byggnadsdelar är måle

Dense camera arrays and offline processing are often used for high-quality 3D and 4D scene capture, but such setups are difficult to use as interactive VR content-creation tools. This thesis investigates whether sparse multi-camera capture can be connected to practical reconstruction and visualization workflows for indoor person-centered scenes. A WebUI-controlled system was designed and implement

This thesis examines the relationship between the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) in regulating automated decision-making involving personal data. Emphasis is given to the legal intersection between Article 22 GDPR outlining automated-decision making regime and the AIA’s human oversight requirements for high-risk AI systems (Article 14), parti

This thesis presents the development of a structured framework for extrusion screw design based on geometrical parameters, with the aim of improving understanding and supporting design decisions in industrial extrusion processes. The work was carried out in collaboration with Tetra Pak and focuses on the extrusion system used in injection compression molding of Tetra Top lids. An initial numerica

The EU’s Sustainability Disclosure Framework has been substantially revised. The CSRD and the ESRS have been changed under Directive (EU) 2026/470, and the Commission has proposed a reform for SFDR, which transforms the framework’s disclosure-based structure to a comprehensive categorization system based on three categories: Transition, ESG Basics, and Sustainable. This thesis examines what change

With growing complexity of developing Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), comes a higher development time, in both designing and verifying Reg- ister Transfer Level (RTL) code. Configurability can reduce the time spent on re-designing, and instead replace with simple reconfiguration. The configurable design then typically need initial verification effort. This thesis seeks to investiga

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as an efficient platform for mRNA delivery, in which ionisable lipids play a central role in intracellular uptake and endosomal escape. In this study, the influence of different ionisable lipids on cellular uptake, endosomal damages and mRNA release kinetics was investigated to identify promising LNP compositions for effective mRNA delivery. Dose-dependent L

Stockout delay is an important component of lead time calculations in inventory control literature. This thesis presents a deep dive into the topic through a literature review, which is accompanied by a numerical study. This numerical study provides a comparison of available models along with a simulation model that looks at two different order fulfillment types: complete and partial. Based on the

Chirality is the property of an object that cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. Chiral materials exhibit circular dichroism (CD) which can selectively populate one spin state over the other upon optical excitation, creating a spin-polarized carrier population. In chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, chirality is transferred from the organic spacer to the inorganic framework, maki

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur resenärernas upplevda trygghet påverkas när tåg passerar järnvägsplattformar i hög hastighet utan att stanna. Arbetet utgår från att järnvägen används mer intensivt än tidigare, vilket skapar fler situationer där resenärer väntar på plattformar samtidigt som andra tåg passerar. Fokus ligger på samspelet mellan plattformens fysiska miljö, tågets passage och resenäThis thesis examines how passengers’ perceived safety is affected when trains pass railway platforms at high speed without stopping. The study is based on the fact that the railway is used more intensively than before, creating more situations where passengers wait on platforms while other trains pass. The focus is on the interaction between the physical platform environment, the train passage and
