In multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, the spectral overhead required by orthogonal Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS) limits overall system capacity. Traditional linear estimators experience severe degradation under high pilot sparsity or non-orthogonal superposition. To address these limitations, this thesis proposes a Physics-Guided
This thesis examines legal tensions arising from the interaction between OECD/G20 IF Administrative Guidance and the Pillar Two Directive within the EU legal order. While the Pillar Two Directive remains locked into version of OECD/G20 IF Pillar Two rules as they stood in 2022, the OECD/G20 IF continues to develop its Pillar Two framework through subsequent Administrative Guidance. The thesis exam
The study examines the influence exerted by the UNRWA funding system - largely based on voluntary contributions from donor states - on the negotiation of Palestinian identity within schools located in refugee camps in Jordan. By conducting interviews with eight former students of UNRWA schools in the camps, and integrating the resulting data with field observations and analyses of United Nations d
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has made data centres a significant and growing source of electricity demand. This study projects AI-driven data centre electricity demand in Sweden for the years 2022 to 2045, and further quantifies its implications for Sweden’s 2030 and 2045 climate targets. Using a three-step methodological approach, the study constructs a total data centre elect
Electronic Image Stabilization is a method to digitally stabilize a video feed to remove unwanted motion by transforming the image. The aim is to create a better viewing experience, reduce bitrate, and simplify further video analytics. This thesis explores different algorithms to stabilize Pan-Tilt-Zoom surveillance cameras made by Axis Communications. Many scenarios are investigated, but the case
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
This project investigates the barriers and opportunities of institutionalizing wellbeing metrics by examining how actors across different scales understand and use wellbeing data generated through the Nova Scotia Quality of Life (NSQoL) Survey. The NSQoL Survey is administered by a non-profit organization, Engage Nova Scotia, and includes 200+ questions measuring a broad range of wellbeing dimensi
This study explores the pre-trip expectations and post-trip perceptions of Chinese tourists regarding the tourism symbols of Northern Europe. Based on destination branding theory, the cognitive-affective-conative framework, and Peirce's triadic semiotic model, the study examines whether there is a gap between expectation and perception for Chinese tourists regarding the tourism symbols of Nort
This thesis investigates daylight performance and energy use in museum environments using Malmö Konsthall as a case study. The aim is to evaluate daylight quality, visual comfort, artwork protection, and energy performance, and to explore how these aspects can be balanced through design strategies. The study combines field measurements, climate-based daylight simulations, energy simulations, and a
This study aimed to examine the relationship between social work students' personal negative life experiences and their motivations for choosing the profession, as well as whether these experiences are reflected in their choice of target group. The study employed a quantitative method and was conducted via a web-based survey distributed to social work students at several universities across Sw
Sociala medieplattformar, såsom TikTok, är populära bland miljarder användare världen över. Online, videos när man dansar eller sjunger skapas och tittas på men andra typer av videos finns också. Som medicinsk information eller djupt personliga anekdoter om att leva med mental ohälsa. Denna studie hade som syfte att undersöka hur sökordet ‘OCD’ porträtteras på tiktok, ur perspektivet av en ny anväSocial media platforms, such as TikTok, are widely popular with billions of users. Online, videos of people dancing and lip-syncing are being made and watched. But other types of content such as medical information and deeply personal stories of mental health are also being shared. This study aimed to examine how the search term ‘OCD’ is being portrayed on tiktok, from the perspective of a new use
This study investigates how social workers experience personal grief in relation to their professional role, and how their way of showing grief at the workplace is affected by colleagues and the organizational context. The aim is to explore how personal experiences of grief enrich the social worker’s professional role. The aim was achieved through a qualitative study, where seven semi-structured i
This thesis investigates how institutional differences across European countries shape the relationship between corporate financialization, GDP per capita, and median incomes. Drawing on panel data from 23 European countries between 2005 and 2023, the study employs fixed-effects regression models to examine how changes in portfolio income, shareholder payout, and financial assets among non-financi
Our way of handling the climate crisis is not fast or ambitious enough. We have the opportunity to plan for a better future, not just accept the consequences of our failure. To plan for a better future, we first need to conceptualise a vision of a desired end-point, in this case a climate-neutral and sustainable city. This essay is meant to inspire radical change by using and expanding the radical
The purpose of this study is to extend knowledge of how belonging forms in brand communities by investigating how an experience-based brand community cultivates belonging in the absence of a tangible product. This involves examining what substitutes for the product as the community's shared anchor, how this substitute is produced and sustained across multiple sites, how the anchor's relati
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa inom byggbranschen är ett växande problem som påverkar både arbetsgivare och medarbetare, men framför allt skapar det ett stort lidande för den enskilde. Trots arbetets betydelse för hälsa och välbefinnande är kunskapen begränsad om hur arbetsrelaterade faktorer samspelar och inverkar på psykisk ohälsa. Syfte: Att sammanställa vetenskaplig litteratur som beskriver arbets
Medical devices are associated with inherent risks that may vary in severity and emerge throughout the product lifecycle. Several regulatory frameworks and standards describe how these risks should be managed, emphasizing the importance of structured and systematic risk management throughout the lifecycle of medical devices. Despite these requirements, healthcare organizations often lack clear and
High levels of alcohol consumption in the UK impose substantial economic and social costs. To reduce alcohol‑related harm, the Welsh Government introduced Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) on 2 March 2020. This paper evaluates the impact of MUP on alcohol consumption in Wales using a difference‑in‑differences (DID) design applied to individual‑level AUDIT‑C data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study (
Pappers- och massatillverkning har sedan början av 1900-talet varit en ekonomiskt viktig industri för Sverige men har historiskt bidragit till stora föroreningsutsläpp, något som man försökt åtgärda genom såväl svensk lagstiftning som på EU-nivå. I denna uppsats har fokus lagts på två huvudsakliga typer av utsläpp, dessa är brunt vatten och fibrer. Brunt vatten orsakas av högt innehåll av chromophManufacturing of paper and pulp has been an economically important industry in Sweden since the beginning of the 20th century, however it has historically contributed to large amounts of pollution, something legislators have tried to mitigate through both national and European legislation. This report focuses on two main types of pollution, brown water and fibers. Brown water is the result of high
