This study presents the development and validation of a new, compact architecture for ultrafast videography using the Frequency Recognition Algorithm for Multiple Exposure (FRAME). Traditional FRAME-systems often have high mechanical complexity, long optical path lengths, and are limited to one-dimensional (1D) informational extraction of refractive index gradients when using Schlieren imaging. Th
Environmental monitoring of Carbon-14 around nuclear power plants (NPPs) has traditionally prioritized gaseous emissions, leaving waterborne liquid discharges unmonitored due to low nominal volumes (<0.5%) and analytical challenges using traditional techniques. However, liquid releases do not experience as effective dilution as gas releases, instead discharging directly into coastal ecosystems whe
This study investigates the thermal-hydraulics of a simplified model of Blykalla's Swedish Advanced Lead-cooled Reactor (SEALER) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in OpenFOAM. The objective is to develop and verify a system-level model for forced and natural convection. The reactor cooling circuit is represented using porous media and volumetric source terms. Simulations are conducted u
This thesis investigates the design and evaluation of Large Language Model (LLM) agent assistants for industrial maintenance, developed in cooperation with SSAB. The study focuses on identifying what combinations of tools and architectures best serve the needs of maintenance technicians, with an emphasis on practical usability and factual correctness. Multiple agents were developed and compared,
This thesis examines how autonomous buses are interpreted and evaluated as a potential mobility solution within a multi-level planning context involving both municipal and regional perspectives. While autonomous vehicles are often framed as a key component of future sustainable transport systems, their implementation depends not only on technological development but also on social acceptance, inst
This thesis examines the extent to which domestic institutional structures in Brazil hinder the implementation of international and regional human rights obligations relating to racialized police violence. Taking Brazil as a single-country case study, with particular attention to Rio de Janeiro, it analyses the gap between the State’s formal human rights commitments and their domestic realization
This thesis studies a runtime frequency feedback method for low-power digital systems. Conventional low-power designs usually reserve extra voltage and timing margins to ensure stable chip operation under process, voltage, temperature, and aging variations. However, fixed margins can also lead to unnecessary power consumption. To address this problem, this thesis proposes and implements a Runtime
The entry into force of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) on 1 November 2022, with its substantive obligations becoming effective on 1 May 2023, has fundamentally reshaped the regulatory landscape for digital platforms in the European Union. This thesis examines the interplay between the traditional ex post enforcement of Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and th
This thesis examines whether memorisation in Generative AI models, particularly large language models, can constitute an infringement of the reproduction right under EU copyright law. It focuses on situations where protected expression is not only used as training data or reproduced in outputs, but may also be retained within a trained model itself. The thesis adopts a doctrinal legal method, sup
Syftet med denna uppsats är att kritiskt granska perspektiv på trygghet i fysisk miljö, med ut-gångspunkt i ett planprogram och dennas tillhörande utvärdering för stadsdelen Araby i Växjö. Studien diskuterar dokumentens syn på otrygghet, samt identifierar sedan åtgärder som ska motverka sådana otryggheter. Till sist diskuteras trygghetsarbetet i Arabys fysiska miljöer utifrån en större kontext av
Extreme heat and heatwaves constitute a growing challenge för municipal planning in relation to climate change. The aim of this study is to examine how risks related to extreme heat are addressed in the comprehensive planning of Malmö, Landskrona and Hässleholm, and also see how these approaches can be understood in relation to urban resilience and the PCCC framework created by Jabareen (2015) - P
I takt med att städer växer och målen om ett mer hållbart transportsystem skärps, ökar behovet av att bygga ut attraktiv, säker och yteffektiv cykelinfrastruktur. I många städer, bland annat Malmö stad används gång-, cykel- och mopedstöd, GCM-stöd, som en relativt snabb och kostnadseffektiv metod för att skapa fysisk separation mellan cykeltrafik och motorfordonstrafik utan omfattande ombyggnad avAs cities continue to grow and the objectives for a more sustainable transport system become increasingly important, there is a growing need to develop attractive, safe and space-efficient cycling infrastructure. In the City of Malmö, GCM-stöd is used as a relatively quick and cost-effective method for creating physical separation between cycle traffic and motor vehicle traffic without requiring e
This thesis investigates the potential of topology optimization to reduce the weight of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) coupling housing while maintaining structural integrity and manufacturability. The study was conducted in collaboration with BorgWarner Sweden AB and applied finite element analysis (FEA) and topology optimization using ANSYS Workbench. The project followed an adapted Double Diamond fra
Coastal municipalities face challenges in balancing coastal development with the impacts of climate change. This study examines how Simrishamn Municipality handles compromise between coastal development and the need for climate adaptation in planning. The focus of the study is on how the coast is presented as an asset for housing development, tourism, and local attractiveness at the same time as c
This thesis examines whether, and under what conditions a user’s personal data or permission to collect and use such data can constitute consideration for a supply of services under EU VAT law. This issue arises in the context of data-driven digital platform business models, where the user is often granted access to digital services without monetary payment, while the platform collects, processes
This study aimed to examine the factors that contribute to men who use violence against their female partners seeking support from social services for the first time and initiating behavioral change. The study was based on a qualitative approach and consisted of semi-structured interviews with seven social workers in Sweden who work with men using violence in intimate relationships. The empirical
The environments of living in temporary accommodation centers for asylum-seeking migrants have prompted many researchers to question the nature of these spaces in relation to the temporal aspect of navigating an asylum application. The physical isolation of the structures, paired with the unique legal restrictions residents must abide by, can be potentially conducive to chronic social exclusion an
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The performance of DPI formulations is influenced by the properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), but systematic comparative studies of different APIs under the same processing conditions remain limited. This study investigated the effects of di
In Sweden, there is a problem with school absenteeism, an issue characterised by a lot of complexity and no clear solution. ‘School social teams’ is a relatively new policy initiative used to address absenteeism through structured collaboration between schools and social services. This study aimed to examine how school social teams are described and understood in both national documents and by pro
Micro- and nanoscale pollutants dispersed at low concentrations in the environment pose increasing threats to human health and ecosystems. However, investigating the properties of individual particles remains challenging because conventional characterization methods mainly rely on ensemble measurements. Optical tweezers provide a promising approach for single-particle trapping and open new possibi
