This project explores how urban design can support a more inclusive, walkable and caring neighbourhood for older women in Copenhagen. Located in Refshaleøen, the project uses independently living women aged 65–75 as a critical lens for rethinking future urban development. The proposal focuses on everyday needs often overlooked in conventional planning, including slower movement, rest, safety, acc

I denna studie undersöker vi upplevelser och effekter av vårt eget nyskrivna metodmaterial för körer. Tidigare forskning har visat att många körer idag ger uttryck för restriktiva könsnormer vilket gör verksamheten mindre inkluderande för de som bryter mot dessa normer, särskilt transpersoner. Vi har därför konstruerat ett metodmaterial med syfte att tillgängliggöra normkritiskt och normkreativt aIn this study, we investigate the experiences and effects of our own original pedagogical material for choirs. Previous research has shown that many choirs today still hold onto restrictive gender norms that make the activity less inclusive for people who do not fit into these norms, especially transgender people. We have therefore constructed a pedagogical material with the aim of making norm-cri

I den här studien undersöks hur sex gymnasielärare som undervisar i ämnet/kursen Instrument eller sång tänker och resonerar kring deras undervisning i övning. Något som även undersöks är vilka arbetssätt de använder sig av för att främja elevernas självständighet samt vilka övriga faktorer som påverkar övning. Författarnas upplevelser om brister i undervisning kring övning är bakgrunden till ämnetThis study explores six music teachers’ thoughts and reasoning regarding how they teach students to practice. Additional topics examined include what methods teachers use to encourage independence and what other factors affect students’ practice. The study originated from the authors’ perception that the broader teaching community places insufficient emphasis on teaching effective instrument pract

This thesis investigates the applicability and performance of reinforcement learn- ing (RL) for inventory management of spare parts in a single-echelon setting. Traditional inventory control methods, such as (R,Q)-policies, typically decou- ple forecasting and ordering decisions, which may lead to suboptimal system- wide performance, particularly in environments characterized by intermittent and s

Masonry reuse has gained increasing attention within sustainable construction due to the substantial use and the large environmental impact associated with construction and demolition waste. The bond between brick and mortar plays a critical role in both the structural performance of masonry and the potential for future brick reclamation. Strong brick–mortar bonds improve structural capacity but m

This thesis presents the evolution, design, and test of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based radar system. The application of this research question involves the implementation of an Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) radar system that can be seamlessly integrated into existing wireless communication networks. The primary objective of this thesis project is to integr

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are a rapidly growing class of oligonucleotide therapeutics that modulate gene expression by inducing targeted mRNA degradation. siRNAs are potent and their effect is long-lasting, making them promising candidates for chronic neurodegenerative disease. However, siRNAs can elicit both on- and off-target toxicity, and while acute neurotoxicity has been characterized,

High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is accompanied by an immune-rich but heterogenous tumor microenvironment. Although tumor associated tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are linked to favourable antitumor immunity, B cells may also adopt spatial distribution patterns favourable for immune suppression. This study evaluated whether the abundance and spatial distribution patterns of CD20+ B cel

This thesis presents an automated pipeline developed for reconstructing the 3D flight trajectories of bats navigating a cave environment purely from multi-channel audio recordings. The pipeline was developed and validated using the Ushichka dataset which contains multiple simultaneous audio and video recordings of bats in their natural habitat, the Orlova Chuka cave in Bulgaria. The proposed pipel

Vid projektering av spontkonstruktioner används numeriska modeller för att analysera deformationer, jordtryck och moment i konstruktionen. Tvådimensionella modeller används frekvent inom geoteknisk projektering, då dessa innebär lägre modellkomplexitet och kortare beräkningstider än tredimensionella modeller. Samtidigt kan tredimensionella modeller beskriva konstruktionens verkliga beteende på ett

Denna studie undersöker vilken roll kreativitet spelar i undervisningen i musikproduktion på gymnasieskolan, samt hur projektbaserat arbete används som pedagogisk metod inom ämnet. Studien bygger på intervjuer med sex gymnasielärare som undervisar i musikproduktion. Resultatet visar att kreativitet är en central men komplex del av undervisningen. Informanterna betonar särskilt betydelsen av kreatiThis study examines the role of creativity in music production education at the upper secondary school level, as well as how project-based learning is used as a pedagogical method within the subject. The study is based on interviews with six high school teachers working in music production. The results show that creativity is a central yet complex part of the teaching. The informants particularly

Discussions surrounding Victorian author Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1872) have explored many of the novella’s themes, including but not limited to the Gothic vampire, queer representation and historical significance. This thesis endeavours to expand the lesser developed discourse on the novella’s ending and narration by analysing Carmilla’s ending through the lens of the “bury your gays” trope,

This project involved the testing and establishment of a base combustion procedure for the newly acquired Raddec Gen IV PYROLYSER and focused on the optimization and correction of the laboratory’s previous liquid scintillation counting (LSC) procedure using the Hidex 300 SL. The pyrolyser was verified to be operational and achieve satisfactory and consistent recoveries across the 6 combustion tub

Accurate time synchronization is a fundamental requirement for industrial systems, particularly applications relying on deterministic communication and coordinated control. While the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), or IEEE 1588, can achieve a sub-microsecond accuracy in wired local networks, its performance over wireless networks such as Fifth Generation Mobile Network (5G) remains challenging due

Införandet av kvartär rening i svenska avloppsreningsverk är en följd av det reviderade europeiska avloppsdirektivet och syftar till att minska utsläppen av organiska mikroföroreningar till recipienter. Dimensioneringen av kvartär rening påverkas i hög grad av inkommande flöden, vilka varierar både över tid och mellan olika reningsverk. Särskilt betydelsefullt är valet av dimensionerande flöde sam

Dagvatten kan transportera föroreningar till recipienter, vilka kan vara skadliga för både djur, natur och människor. Dessa föroreningar inkluderar bland annat metaller och näringsämnen. En betydande källa till tungmetaller är vägtrafikrelaterad, då bland annat slitage från bromsar och däck samt galvaniserade metallstrukturer ger upphov till föroreningar. Föroreningar med fraktioner som är min

The observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe suggests the existence of baryon number violating processes beyond what is present in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The HIBEAM programme is a proposed experiment at the European Spallation Source (ESS) that investigates baryon-number violation through neutron-antineutron oscillations. Of specific interest to this work is the proces

Ethylene oxidation over Pd nanoparticles in an ambient pressure environment was studied. While modulating the temperature in an ethylene-oxygen mixture, operando ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed an oscillating thickness of a PdC_x layer surrounding the nanoparticles while producing CO and CO_2. Scanning electron microscopy before and after the measurement revealed the for
