The Baltic Sea is heavily affected by anthropogenic pressures, causing toxic and dangerous living conditions for marine species and destroying ecosystems. Many of the problems stem from overfishing, nutrient runoffs causing eutrophication and a very low water exchange outer seas, making the water in the Baltic Sea brackish. When the passenger ship Marco Polo ran aground outside Hanöbukten 2023, i
Emotions have increasingly been recognized as important to collective action and mobilization in socio-environmental movements. However, less attention has been paid to how movement organizations combine the strategic use of emotions in external communication with the internal management of emotional experiences arising through collective action, and how different contexts shape these processes. T
Long waiting times for gender-affirming healthcare in Sweden have been described as a growing issue linked to centralized healthcare, limited resources, referral requirements that undermine gender self-determination, and extensive diagnostic assessments. Gatekeeping, waiting as a diagnostic tool, and discourses of gender normativity within trans-specific healthcare contribute to patients' suff
Cooperative vehicle-to-vehicle warning messages can support earlier responses to emergency braking, but their safety benefit depends on wireless propagation, message-delivery reliability, retransmission delay, and vehicle kinematics. This thesis investigates how these factors jointly affect longitudinal safety in two- and three-vehicle driving scenarios. A communication-aware safety-analysis fram
Den ökande andelen intermittenta förnybara energikällor, i kombination med en växande efterfrågan på el, ökar värdet av flexibla lösningar på efterfrågesidan som kan flytta elanvändning från perioder med hög belastning. Elektriska varmvattenberedare erbjuder sådan flexibilitet genom att använda varmvattentanken som termisk energi- lagring. Denna studie utvärderar potentialen hos timerstyrda varmvaThe increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources, combined with growing electricity demand, increases the value of flexible demand-side solutions that can shift electricity consumption away from peak periods. Domestic electric water heaters offer such flexibility by using the hot water tank as thermal energy storage. This study evaluates the potential of timer-controlled domestic elec
Increasing consumption of textiles in general and limited recyclability of blended textiles in particular have created a growing need for effective recycling technologies. Polyester/cotton blends are common and particularly challenging to recycle due to the combination of synthetic and natural fibers. In this study, ammonium bicarbonate-catalyzed glycolysis was used as a method for depolymerizing
Denna studie har undersökt varför straffbarhetsåldern har sänkts till 14 år genom att analysera de sätt som den nätverksrelaterade brottsligheten och barn konstrueras av regeringen och kritiker till lagändringen. I samband med detta analyseras även ifall de samtida kraven för hårdare straff fyller en rationell brottsförebyggande funktion. Studien har utförts genom en kritisk diskursanalys av varie
Large intelligent surfaces (LIS) extend conventional massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems by employing a physically large and dense antenna surface, offering a promising architecture for next-generation wireless communication systems. In practical receivers, oscillator phase noise introduces time-varying phase rotations that cause the effective channel to evolve during a transmiss
This thesis examines the Faxe limestone quarry (Faxe Kalkbrud), Denmark's largest active limestone quarry, where extraction, biodiversity conservation, geological research, and public fossil hunting coexist without any recorded environmental conflict, unlike the cases described in the conflict or heritage literature on quarries. Drawing on ecological modernization theory (EMT), this study asks
Migration is an extremely and increasingly pressing issue, it is currently being treated as a matter of national security and resource depletion. States are trying to discourage so-called voluntary (economic) migrants from claiming refugee status whilst also trying to integrate their refugees. This research suggests that voluntary and involuntary migrants are not necessarily two separate groups of
Part of the research on tourism has had much focus on how destinations may engage in placemaking processes that follow bottom-up initiatives, and how Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) may contribute to such processes. This study follows this interest through the analysis of how placemaking through narratives, mainly within digital platforms, influences the overall place image in destinati
This thesis examines how hosts organize gatherings across private, grassroots, commercial, and institutional contexts. While existing literature often treats hospitality as an interpersonal exchange or event organizing as a technical managerial practice, less attention has been given to how resources, organizational structures, gendered labor, and uncertainty interact across these settings. Drawin
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) enables causal investigation of brain-behavior relationships but exhibits substantial interindividual variability. White matter pathways, which propagate stimulation-induced signals, may contribute to this variability, yet their role remains unclear. Moreover, prior work has not accounted for individual hemispheric dominance, which may further compound this
Art and engagement with art have been active and important phenomena of humanity for millennia, and the benefits of engagement with art are persistently being uncovered across interdisciplinary fields of research including the field of social science. From a service perspective this thesis explores the art museum as a service which has the capacity and aim to engage the public with art. In order f
The growth of omnichannel retail has made product returns more convenient for customers, but it has also created new challenges for verifying whether a return is legitimate. In fashion retail, traditional Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) systems can confirm product-category information but cannot establish whether the item being returned is the exact item connected to the original transaction. This create
Visual features are encoded by the population activity of neurons across the human visual hierarchy, from primary visual features in early areas to semantic visual features in the higher visual cortex. Sparse dictionary learning and sparse autoencoders have recently emerged as powerful automated and unsupervised methods for discovering monosemantic representations of features in the massive data o
The establishment of the sugar factory in 1869 played a decisive role in the development of Arlöv and is therefore of great importance to the small town. With the production relocated, the thesis explores how the sugar factory area may continue to contribute to Arlöv’s development under new conditions. This thesis investigates the transformation of a disused industrial site with cultural and hist
