In Sweden, peak-hour travel demand is ranked as the most important operational cost driver for public transport, linked to school and work hours. Achieving a more balanced demand throughout the day is therefore crucial for resource efficiency and promoting environmentally friendly transport. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the process of implementing staggered school start times
Ovarian malignancy is the most lethal gynecologic tumor, with an 80% relapse rate and 47% five-year survival. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the most common form, comprises five major histotypes with distinct clinicopathological characteristics, yet treatment still relies largely on cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Phosphoproteomics enables the mapping of protein phosphoryl
Corrosion of embedded steel liners in nuclear containments threatens structural integrity and is challenging to detect. Acoustic emission (AE) and nonlinear ultrasonic cross-modulation were applied to monitor cracking in a concrete cube with an embedded steel plate under galvanostatic corrosion. AE showed intense early activity from rapid crack initiation. The modulation index (MI) dropped during
Sammanfattning Titel Att operationalisera DPP: tolkningar, utmaningar och kollektiv samordning i den ultimata försörjningskedjan Författare Adam Rukundo Bakgrund Digitala produktpass (DPP) införs genom EU-lagstiftning och kommer att kräva att strukturerad produktdata görs tillgänglig digitalt tvärs över olika industrier. Kraven fastställs i ekodesignförordningen, batteriförordningen och byggprodukAbstract Title Operationalising the Digital Product Passport: Interpretation, Challenges and Collective Coordination across the Ultimate Supply Chain Author Adam Rukundo Background The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is introduced through European Union legislation and will require structured product data to be made available across the supply chain. Requirements are established through the Ecode
The increasing penetration of renewable energy and the growth of digital electricity demand expose high-renewable Nordic microgrids to coupled uncertainty in renewable output, electricity prices, carbon intensity, and load demand. This coupling intensifies the operational trilemma among low-carbon supply, economic efficiency, and system reliability. Conventional microgrid scheduling methods usuall
In light of the ongoing energy transition, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are becoming increasingly widespread. The intermittent nature of solar power introduces challenges to grid operation, which is why PV power forecasting has emerged as an important research topic. While existing research mostly focuses on single-site forecasting, this thesis compares sites from four different Köppen-Geiger c
This thesis examines whether aerial bombing during the Spanish Civil War shaped the long-run demographic trajectories of Catalan municipalities. Using municipal-level bombing data and population records from 1900 to 2000, the analysis combines OLS regressions, difference-in- differences, an event study, and heterogeneity by settlement type. The results show that bombed municipalities were already
During the last few years, we have seen an increase of extreme weather events because of climate change in many municipalities in Sweden. These weather events have had a destructive effect on both municipal and private properties. According to past research the climate adaptation has mainly come from the public sector, but to increase society’s resilience to the effects of climate change we need a
Biologisk mångfald har idag en betydande roll inom byggnation av hållbar infrastruktur. Samtidigt har utbyggnaden av elnätet och elektrifieringen ökat för att bidra till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Utbyggnaden av elnätet sker i form av fördelningsstation och ledningsgator. Denna studie undersöker vilka begränsningar det finns för att använda fördelningsstationer som en yta för att bidra till den bioBiodiversity has become an increasingly important aspect of sustainable development in infrastructure. At the same time electrification plays an important role for a fossil-free society and the increasing need for electrical infrastructure such as substations. This study examines the limitations and opportunities for implementing biodiversity enhancing measures at two substations in southern Swede
Within the Natura 2000 network, Europe’s primary framework for conserving species and habitats of community importance, subterranean ecosystems remain among the least explored yet most vulnerable components. In Croatia’s Mediterranean karst region, these underground environments are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic pressures linked to urbanization, infrastructure development, and waste manage
Global warming leads to an increase in extreme weather events. As climate mitigation and adaptation alone are no longer sufficient to protect societies, crisis preparedness becomes ever more important. On national level, there has been a shift of responsibility for crisis preparedness from the state onto citizens. Against this background, this study aims to investigate how these changes play out a
This study explores how people living and working on fincas in rural Spain live in reciprocity with the more-than-human world through their everyday practices on their finca. The study is based on ethnographic fieldwork at two field sites, which include participant observation, interviews and conversations with people who live and work at fincas in Spain. Drawing on fieldwork, this master thes
The aim of the study is to explore how young fathers engage with fatherhood and the responsibilities surrounding it, in Libreville, Gabon. By using decolonial feminist theory, masculinities studies and a reproductive justice framework, the thesis focuses on themes such as fathers’ accountability towards pregnancies and fathers’ role as providers, but also wider issues such as the engagement of the
We study properties of a specific continuous-time branching random tree in the plane, inspired by a model of neuronal growth. Using known results on the number of leaves of the tree, we derive a result on its growth, showing almost sure convergence. We then derive probabilities conditional on exactly one split having occurred by time t. We derive a recurrent integral equation for the probability t
Reliable Value-at-Risk forecasts are essential for quantifying the market risk a financial institution is exposed to. Utilizing a Bayesian approach treats the model's parameters as random variables, allowing for forecasts that consider parameter uncertainty as well as a measure of uncertainty through the spread of the forecasts, the epistemic uncertainty. The method of approximating the parame
The grammatical expression of definiteness varies considerably across the world’s languages. While the semantic concept of it is universal, its morphological realization differs significantly from language to language, making it particularly challenging for second language learners of Swedish. This thesis investigates the degree of difficulty of definite Swedish noun phrases for L2 learners, focus
This study investigates travel behaviour, transport choices, and attitudes towards public transport among individuals with residential parking permits in the municipality of Trelleborg, Sweden. The aim is to explore how everyday mobility patterns are formed, which factors influence the choice between car use and public transport, and how attitudes towards sustainable mobility relate to actual tran
Wetlands are an important component of, for example, biodiversity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Sweden has several financial supports to promote restoration and creation of wetlands. In this study are applications regarding restoration or creation of wetlands within the Lokala naturvårdssatsningen (LONA) examined. This study is limited to applications submitted to the county board
This article examines narratives of care, i.e. artistic representations and explorations of caregiving relationships, with particular attention to their ethical dimensions. Focusing on two contemporary auto/biographical works depicting mother-daughter relationships — Marie Tillman's graphic novel En trasig historia( A Broken Story, 2020) and Sara Gordan's prose work Natten( The Night, 2022) — the
