Wearable devices increasingly issue algorithmic verdicts on the body's recovery and readi-ness claims that may contradict what an athlete directly feels. This study examines how ama-teur endurance athletes make sense of the embodied rupture: the moment at which a weara-ble's recovery assessment conflicts with their own somatic knowledge. While Information Systems research has theorised how
As climate change threatens the balance in the arctic and adjacent regions, ecosystems face a multifaceted wave of change. In areas like Scandinavia, extensive glacial retreat has been observed, onset by warming temperatures. Simultaneously as plant-life responds to a changing climate, noticeable shifts have occurred in the spatial distribution of vegetation. Thus, with deglaciation revealing new
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital valvu- lar disease and is associated with an increased risk of ascending aortic dilation, a known precursor to life-threatening complications such as aor- tic dissection. Current clinical decision-making is primarily based on threshold-derived diameter measurements, although diameter alone has proven insufficient for comprehensive risk stra
Den 1 juli 2026 förväntas Kriminalvården stå klara med barn- och ungdomsavdelningar för unga lagöverträdare i åldern 13–17 år. Syftet med denna studie är således att undersöka kriminalpolitiska dokument vad gäller unga lagöverträdare och inrättandet av ungdomsfängelser i Sverige. Studien ämnar att belysa, genom en kritisk diskursanalys i linje med Faircloughs (2012 & 2018) tredimensionella mod
Malaria remains a major public health concern in Sudan, where transmission is influenced by climate variability, environmental conditions, population displacement, conflict, and disruptions to healthcare services. Using ERA5 climate data, a Climate Suitability Index (CSI) was developed to evaluate the climatic suitability for Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Sudan between 2000 and 2024. Annua
Monitoring insect populations and diversity are important to assess ecosystem health. Traditional trapping and manual identification methods are slow and labor-intensive. Entomological lidar offers an automated alternative for monitoring insects in flight, but classifying species remains a challenge. Building empirical databases through catch-and-release methods is impractical due to the enormous
Osäkerheter inom geotekniska förutsättningar har en stor påverkan på bygg- och anläggningssektorn. För att ta reda på de faktiska förhållandena i marken före byggnation behöver en geoteknisk undersökning utföras. Om den geotekniska undersökningen är bristfällig kan det leda till förseningar, ökade kostnader samt behov av kompletterade åtgärder under byggskedet. Syftet med studien var att analyseUncertainties within geotechnical conditions has a large impact on the construction and civil engineering sector. To determine the actual conditions in the ground before construction, a geotechnical investigation needs to carry out. If the geotechnical investigation is insufficient, it can lead to delays, cost increases and the need for additional measures during the construction phase. The purp
Electricity demand in southern Sweden is expected to increase significantly in the coming decades. More electric cars, cleaner industries, and the phase-out of fossil fuels will require much larger amounts of electricity than today. At the same time, Skåne currently produces only part of the electricity it consumes and depends heavily on electricity imports from other regions and neighbouring coun
One of the greatest public health challenges of our time is mental health issues, particularly the increasing prevalence among young adults in Sweden. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI), which is more accessible and widely used than ever before, is being discussed as a promising tool in mental health care. This report investigates the potential of a generative AI-based chatbot to promote ment
This thesis research how the EU’s shift from traditional development aid to investment-based development cooperation affects the understanding and practice of ownership within Global Gateway. Through a case study of the Lobito Corridor, with a special focus on Zambia, it analyses how local development priorities are translated, reshaped and limited within the EU’s institutional and financial struc
This thesis investigates acoustic beamforming algorithms for loudspeaker arrays aimed at creating steerable directed sound fields under practical size constraints. Simulations evaluated delay-and-sum (DS), least-squares (LS), contrast-control (CC), acoustic-energy-difference (AED), and sound-power-minimisation (SPM) using beamwidth, acoustic contrast, and efficiency in the range 300-3400 Hz. After
HD 129590 is a stellar system with a directly imaged debris disk located in the Scorpius–Centaurus association, approximately 420 light years away. With an estimated age of 15 Myr, young systems like HD 129590 have been ideal for studying the development and evolution of exocomets and planetary disks at early epochs of star formation, at a time when such structures are just emerging. Consequently,
This thesis examines how ILKATBO trigger frequency varies across the Volvo truck fleet and which operating conditions and vehicle characteristics are associated with elevated trigger behavior. Using logged vehicle data, trigger rate was analyzed at fleet level and within different driving-condition subsets. The results show that trigger behavior is systematic rather than random. At fleet level, ro
A lot of research involves spectral or polarimetric imaging in applications such as medicine, material science, and molecular science. Spectral imaging allows the acquisition of multiple spectral bands of a scene, while polarimetric imaging enables the extraction of a scene's polarisation. Combining the two imaging techniques simultaneously is referred to as multiparametric imaging. Today, onl
Scania in Sweden is expected to be exposed to an increased risk of flooding because of the effects of climate change. In the winter of 2024 Kävlingeån was severely flooded as a result of heavy precipitation. A Swedish government statement as well as Sustainable Development Goal 17 state that collaboration is important to manage flooding and for climate change adaptation. This is also supported by
Freeze-thaw cycling is a major durability issue in cement-based materials, as water within its pores can freeze, expand and generate internal stresses that contribute to cracking and material degradation. Understanding how pores, water distribution and deformation evolve during repeated temperature cycles is therefore important for improving the durability of these materials. This thesis investiga
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) rely on innovation to remain competitive, yet their innovation processes often unfold under limited financial resources. While previous research shows that financial constraints reduce innovation activity, less is known about how such constraints shape the internal progression of innovation processes. This study examines how financial constraints influence
This thesis examines how community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) generates peace-positive outcomes in displacement-affected communities, focused on how shared natural resources and environmental risks shape these dynamics. Designed as a qualitative multiple case study focused on Iraq and South Sudan, it draws on interviews and documents to examine the conditions under which, and the proces
This research examines the evolution of environmental mainstreaming in the context of Ethiopia's green transition, covering the period from 1993 to 2024, using a configurational approach to analyze the structural integration of environmental considerations in policy corpus over time. Despite Ethiopia being a successful case of green industrialization in Africa, our analysis suggests that envir
Rupert E-Power är ett projekt som utforskar designen av en hög-presterande eldriven Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), utvecklad i samarbete med Rupert Marine. Målet är att undersöka hur elektrisk framdrivning kan integreras i en prestandadriven produkt utan att kompromissa med varumärkets kärnvärden: prestanda, säkerhet och funktionalitet. Projektet studerar relationen mellan tekniska begränsningar, an
