Sammanfattning Projektet handlar om att genom rationella lösningar ge möjlighet att bygga bostäder tidseffektivt och på detta sätt även göra ett inlägg i den svenska bostadsdebatten, vilken är mycket problematisk för tillfället. Hela Sverige lider i princip av bostadsbrist idag. Det hämmar utvecklingen för företag och övriga delar av samhället. För att avhjälpa bostadsbristen är detta ett projekt Abstract This project is based on the housing crisis that Sweden is having right now. The aim of this master thesis in architecture is to be a part of the solution and an entry in the Swedish housing debate. Through making a flexible and rational system the goal is to make construction fast, without compromising with architectural qualities. This is not a complete solution of the housing shortage

In the emerging trend of smartphone use and a rising demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) power worldwide, this master thesis project explores the potential to utilize commercially available fisheye lens optics in combination with a smartphone camera to capture and analyze local shading conditions. Photogrammetric studies involving hemispherical sky photos have since long been used for environmental
The invasion status of tumour-draining lymph nodes (LNs) is a critical indicator of cancer stage and is important for treatment planning. Clinicians currently use planar scintigraphy and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with (99m)Tc-radiocolloid to guide biopsy and resection of LNs. However, emerging multimodality approaches such as positron emission tomography combined with magn
The project is to design a small scale lodge on Nsadzi Island in Lake Victoria. It should have the capacity to accommodate about 20 guests overnight, but the possibility for larger events if needed. Since it is crucial to the economical sustainability of the hotel to be able to accommodate a maximum of guests as early as possible, the development should be considered as a planned evolution from in
In food production facilities, packagings are quality inspected to ensure proper sealing and correct atmo- sphere within. The project was done in collaboration with Gasporox AB (publ), a company developing and producing quality inspection instruments. The goal of the project was to develop a new version of an exiting instrument of theirs. In addition to that, develop a portable inspection de
The purpose of the study is to contribute to the research gap on the relationship between employee engagement and a purpose-driven organizational mode. Our research, which adheres to the interpretive tradition of symbolic interactionism (SI) comprises a qualitative single-case study in a purpose-driven organization and follows an abductive approach. We generated our empirical data by collecting 12

The aim is to research what discourses HMCS participates in and how they participate in different discourses in regards to their sustainability work. The Swedish cement indus
The United Kingdom’s response to the pressing biodiversity decline in England includes the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy and is operationalised through DEFRA’s Biodiversity Metric, which quantifies biodiversity into ‘biodiversity units’. This thesis evaluates how effectively the metric reflects real biodiversity outcomes at the rewilded Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Using 2005 as a baseline an
This architectural thesis investigates a general system for a sustainable tourism-related built environment in the Swedish mountains. With a growing interest in hiking and nature-based tourism, the Swedish mountain landscape has become an increasingly popular destination, while at the same time serving as important grazing land for reindeer. This calls for careful development and reduced environme
The introduction of the Renewable Energy Directive 2009, increased the renewable energy sources (RES) in the European Union (EU) and especially Sweden. Given the uncontrollable nature of weather patterns, energy generation is likely to become more volatile, thereby elevating the risk of curtailment and negative energy prices. The electricity demand in Sweden is also poised to rise sharply in the u
Predicting click-through rates (CTR) is essential for optimizing the effectiveness of mobile advertising campaigns, where accurate prediction of user interactions can significantly enhance revenue generation and ad targeting strategies. This thesis investigates the efficacy of different predictive models, using a dataset composed of impressions and interactions with mobile ads. The models examined
Sea-level rise increases the exposure of low-lying communities to climate risks along the eastern coast of Ghana, while adaptation responses are reactive and insufficient to secure fishing livelihoods in highly vulnerable areas. To better address needs, Locally-led Adaptation (LLA) promotes just climate governance by shifting power to local actors to enable context-specific and place-based respons
This thesis attempts to study the linkages between the energy consumption, digitalization and internet expansion. Due to the ongoing global pandemic that served as a natural experiment, studying the potential impacts of telework and digital entertainment on energy consumption has become much easier and more urgent than ever, since both are growing rapidly, and no definitive answers on their impact
