This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the spatiotemporal dynamics of water quality in Lake Bolmen, southern Sweden, based on high-resolution monitoring data (2022–2024) from five regions. Key parameters—including temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential, and chlorophyll fluorescence—were assessed using data analysis method inclu
Choosing the right discrete-event simulation (DES) software is a challenging and important task. Given the announcement that sales and support of AFRY’s primary DES software, AutoMod, will be discontinued by December 31, 2026, and the lack of a recent review of the current market offerings, it is a essential for AFRY to explore new alternatives. The aim of the thesis is to help AFRY analyze and se
This thesis explores the electrification of the public transport sector in Kathmandu Valley using the Multi-Level Perspective framework and a lens based on Political Economy. It analyses how government bodies, the private sector, civil society, development organisations, and academia influence transition dynamics. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and fieldwork, it identifies drivers such as a
Under de senaste decennierna har vårdsystem i allt högre grad formats av styrmodeller inriktade på effektivitet, ofta påverkade av marknadsbaserade ideal. Denna studie undersöker hur sjuksköterskor upplever konsekvenserna av sådana reformer, särskilt i relation till deras arbetsvillkor och deras upplevda kvalitet på patientvården, samt hur dessa upplevelser skiljer sig mellan offentlig och privat
This thesis project, initiated by Thule, aimed to develop a concept for a foldable roof box. The goal was to create a solution that is easier to handle and store than traditional roof boxes, which are often perceived as bulky and difficult to manage when not in use. The project followed a design process based on the Double Diamond model, Human-Centered Design, and Thule’s internal development pro
This thesis analyses how rights-based youth climate groups can sustain their interventions during political transitions, using the YES4ECO project in Bangladesh as a case study. The youth-led project in the climate-vulnerable districts of Bangladesh faced disruption following the uprising in July 2024, as it destabilised the local government structures. The study draws on 29 key informant intervie
Följande uppsats behandlar rapporteringen av prostitution i Dagens Nyheter under perioden 1994-2024.

As China's aging process accelerates, it is becoming increasingly difficult for existing urban infrastructures to meet the needs of older adults in terms of daily mobility and social participation. This paper examines how urban infrastructure in China facilitates or constrains the daily lives of older adults by understanding the perspectives of family caregivers. Based on data from semi-struct
The advent of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) introduces transformative, yet deeply problematic, complexities into modern warfare, particularly concerning the attribution of criminal responsibility under international criminal law. This thesis confronts the critical challenges these systems pose to the dolus specialis, the specific intent to destroy, requirement for the crime of genocide.
In this study, we focused on highlighting the importance of relationships between the professional and the client in HVB.

The study was qualitative and based on our semi-structured interviews to get in-depth reflections and experiences of their work. We used a purposive sampli
This thesis investigates the existence of a green bond premium, or greenium, in the European corporate bond market. It examines how ESG disagreements affect this premium. By utilising secondary market data for 515 green bonds and 2.325 conventional bonds issued between 2018 and 2025, a matching methodology based on Zerbib (2019) is employed to isolate the yield differential attributed to the green
This thesis explores how public spaces are emotionally and socially experienced through introducing the concept of affective publicness, which is a framework for understanding the emotional and relational dynamics that shape urban public spaces. Departing from the theoretical frame of emotional geography and affective urbanism, the research investigates how affective publicness is felt and shaped
Family reunification lies at the intersection of humanitarian values, national identity, and gender politics, making it one of the most complex and debated areas of immigration policy. This thesis examines how nationalism and gender inequality, individually and together, shape family reunification policies across 27 European countries. Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of femonationalism, int
Denna uppsats undersöker hur kapitalmarknadsstrukturen i Europeiska unionen påverkar startups möjlighet till finansiering, med jämförelser mot Sverige och USA. Studien visar att EU:s kapitalmarknader präglas av fragmentering och institutionella skillnader, vilket hämmar tillgången till riskkapital och gränsöverskridande investeringar. Genom en komparativ analys av Sverige och USA identifieras fakt
Emulsifiers can influence fat crystallization through multiple mechanisms: by promoting or in-hibiting nucleation, modifying polymorphic transitions, or enhancing oil-binding capacity. In collaboration with Palsgaard A/S, this thesis aimed to evaluate the functional impact of selected emulsifiers from their portfolio on the thermal and textural stability of fat-based biscuit cream fillings. The go
Uppsatsen behandlar det rättsliga läget i Sverige för användningen av AI-system vars syfte är att utföra ansiktsigenkänning. Polismyndighetens användning av tekniken står i centrum för analysen. Användningen möjliggörs av AI-förordningen som reglerar när aktörer får eller inte får använda olika typer av AI-system. I förordningen regleras bland annat situationer då en behörig myndighet som exempelvThis thesis examines the legal framework concerning AI systems for facial recognition. The main focus is on the Swedish Police Authority’s use of the technology. The AI Act is the main legal text governing AI systems and it regulates when different types of AI systems may be used. The AI Act includes regulation surrounding the use of AI systems for facial recognition by, for example, the Swedish P
Amid an escalating climate crisis, Germany faces growing political polarisation and declining support for climate policy. The mobility transition has emerged as a symbolic and emotionally charged ‘cultural battleground’, where debates around fossil-fuel dependency are deeply entangled with identities and power structures. This study examines the role of hegemonic masculinities in shaping socio-pol
The rule of law is one of the founding principles that has accompanied the birth and development of the EU and is considered a shared value among the Member States. However, it is currently facing implementation challenges at national level, and this increasing crisis of the principle in some Member States has affected not only the fundamental rights recognised at EU level, even resulting in the b
Denna avhandling undersöker två centrala frågor rörande verksamhetsövergångar enligt svensk och EU:s arbetsrätt: (1) Vilket kollektivavtal och vilka delar av kollektivavtalet blir gällande för förvärvaren när ett företag, en verksamhet eller en del av en verksamhet övergår från överlåtaren till förvärvaren genom en sådan övergång som omfattas av 6 b § LAS; och (2) vilken betydelse har kollektivavtThis thesis examines two central questions concerning business transfers under Swedish and EU labour law: (1) which collective agreement, and which parts of it, become binding for the transferee when a business, undertaking, or part thereof is transferred in accordance with Section 6 b of the Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS); and (2) what role the collective agreement plays in determining w
This thesis examines whether the Fama & French three-factor model (1993) provides a better explanation of Swedish stock returns than the traditional Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Using data from firms listed on Nasdaq Stockholm between 2016 and 2024, six portfolios were formed based on firm size and price-to-book ratio. Monthly returns were calculated and regressed against both the marke
