As a result of climate change, temperatures have been steadily increasing in the last half century and extreme weather events such as storms, extreme heat, extreme precipitation and cold spells have been observed to occur more frequently. This comes with potential consequences for lives and health. There are several factors affecting the climate in a region. A phenomenon that has a large impact in

Sanctions have been in place for many, many years and are, so to speak, an internal tool for influencing foreign policy. Sanctions are intended, as part of other foreign policy activities, to influence the policies or activities of another state or group of people that are considered to be a threat to international peace and security. This thesis examines how wartime sanctions on individuals work,

The field of trans studies is a growing, yet still small field within the Nordic context. There is a big gap in research regarding non-binary* lives, and research aimed at the intersection between age and gender identities beyond or between the gender binary is close to non-existent in Sweden. The aim of this study is to investigate experiences of not having a language to describe and communicate

Hur jordbruket blir en lösning på klimatkrisen. Visste du att det lagras in cirka dubbelt så mycket kol i marken än vad det finns totalt i atmosfären? Det betyder att en liten förändring av kollagret i marken kan göra stor skillnad för koldioxidhalten i atmosfären. En ökad kolinlagring i jordbruksmark har därför pekats ut som en viktig åtgärd för att minska den globala uppvärmningen. Men vad innebIncreased carbon sequestration in agricultural land is an important measure to reduce global warming. Since the soil is a large carbon sink, a small change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks can make a substantial difference to the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. An increase in SOC improves the soil health and fertility which in turn gives better yields and a more secure food supply

The built environment will soon continue to develop as virtual and augmented reality become increasingly integrated into how we work, play, and learn. My degree project explores the many possibilities of combining architecture with augmented virtuality by looking into this new medium of technology that is constructing mixed reality with the built environment. It talks about the metaverse in bri

Many cities are facing the problem of old industrial areas whose soil has been contaminated with toxic substances created by different historical activities within the area. The great unsolved environmental problems, such as: water, soil and air pollution prob- lems, and habitat loss in the Öresund region today, are a result of the industrialization era. “Reclaiming Eco-Assemblages” lays out a m

As globalization and development seem to have “removed geographical boundaries between countries”, the resulting patterns of human mobility (Gomory, 2002; Leach, Scoones & Stirling, 2010) have attracted the discursive study on the topic of migration. There are migration aspects that categorize migrants as regular, irregular, voluntary or involuntary. Such categorizations include the perspectiv

The feasibility of implementing a hydraulic load-holding solution in a BorgWarner all-wheel-drive (AWD) coupling was investigated in this work. There exist many sophisticated valve designs intended for load holding applications, but this work focused on simple solenoid valves to reduce cost and complexity. To evaluate the feasibility of the intended load-holding solution, a leakage and pressure dr

Probiotiska bakterier som administreras oralt syftar oftast att nå tarmen levande och behöver skydd för att kunna överleva den mänskliga mag-tarmkanalen. Etylcellulosa är ett livsmedelsklassat material som kan användas med olja för att bilda en oleogel. En oleogel kan kapsla in probiotika och ge fysiskt skydd. Det här projektet fokuserar på att analysera olika oleogelformuleringar, som är gjorProbiotic bacteria administered orally that aim to reach the intestine alive need protection to be able to survive the human gastrointestinal tract. Ethyl cellulose is one food-grade material that can be used with oil to form an oleogel. This oleogel can encapsulate probiotics and provide physical protection. This project focuses on analysing different oleogel formulations, which are made with

Rushed efforts for a decarbonisation of the energy sector in Catalonia, Spain have been received with local opposition towards renewable energy projects. It has also raised a debate around the new energy model and whether it will perpetuate the lack of agency of civil society in the energy sector as well as the vulnerable situation some people are currently facing. This thesis examines whether ren

In this thesis we introduce the mathematical fields of representation theory and character theory, providing a broad outline of the main concepts of each from the background of a general knowledge of abstract algebra. We cover a broad introduction to the representations of groups viewed as group and algebra homomorphisms and as modules over the group algebra, then proceed to consider key results o

The hitchhiker’s guide to satellite dependencies For the last half century, humanity has gained access to better weather reports, live coverage of the Olympics, and a handheld map of the globe, all thanks to satellites in space. But what happens if these satellites fail? That question has been asked, but never answered in full. This thesis has aimed to assists researchers in answering that questiVital societal functions and critical infrastructure rely to an increasing extent on services from space, such as navigation and positioning systems, timekeeping, and communications. However, understanding of space service dependencies is low among practitioners and society at large, with research on societal space dependency being limited as well. In order to avoid cascading effects from disrupti

Kan ekosystemtjänster stärka hållbarhetsperspektivet i den kommunala översiktsplaneringen? Många av samhällets funktioner är direkt beroende av ekosystem i balans. Samtidigt utarmas idag den biologiska mångfalden och ekosystemens funktioner hotas, vilket riskerar att få stora negativa konsekvenser för både människa och samhälle. Vi behöver därför hitta nya sätt att ta hänsyn ekosystemens ekologisThe degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity occurs at an alarming rate. This results in an imbalance of ecosystem functions, leading to a loss of ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are benefits which humans can derive from ecosystems and their internal processes, thus vital to preserve from a societal perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities for

The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) has affected all aspects of business, including health care. One of the most important contributions of ICT to healthcare system effectiveness is the creation of electronic health records (EHRs). EHRs are considered as the critical source of providing information in a healthcare system. The purpose of this study is to evaluate
