Contemporary processes of radicalization into far-right extremism are increasingly shaped by digital, online communication environments that convey ideology through multiple communication modes, as well as aesthetic and culturally embedded forms of expression. Short-form content platforms such as TikTok enable fast production and circulation of highly engaging content that creates communicative ar
Wind damage is one of the most economically and ecologically significant natural disturbances in European forests, yet the cloud cover that follows major storms routinely blocks optical satellite acquisitions for weeks, precisely when rapid damage mapping is most valuable. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) circumvents this limitation through all-weather imaging, but pixel-level windthrow detection fr
With increasing pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, heavy-duty freight is moving to electrification, but this shift remains challenging due to high energy demand, long operating hours, strict delivery schedules, and limited tolerance for charging downtime. This thesis examines whether battery swapping combined with Battery-as-a-Service can contribute to the sustainability transition of h
Abstract Global industrial providers increasingly recognize the aftermarket as a significant source of untapped value, yet many remain challenged in the pursuit of capturing it. This research examines a global medical simulation provider where the absence of strategic segmentation between primary product flows and the distribution of spare parts has produced persistent operational misalignment. Le
Network cameras observe physical spaces but lack an inherent understanding of the scenes they see. This thesis presents a pipeline for floor and wall instance segmentation from a single uncalibrated RGB image, requiring no scene-specific prior information such as camera intrinsics, depth sensors, floor plans, or labelled floor and wall data for training. The detected instances are intended to supp
Innovation concentrations are increasingly extending beyond metropolitan cores into urban peripheries through science parks, research infrastructures, advanced manufacturing sites, and innovation districts. Yet their physical presence does not necessarily generate long-term local development capacity. Existing research has explained innovation stability largely through agglomeration, proximity, in
Moving ahead from the domination of either side of established powers like socialism, capitalism, or all the -isms, another way seems possible. As we know from history, there is a great potential and capacity that lies within civil society that finds creative ways to tackle the problems others have failed to address. The study aimed to explore the strategies that social enterprises apply to reconc
Temporary urbanism has emerged as a prominent field in urban planning and research,encompassing a wide range of terms such as meanwhile use, tactical urbanism, and DIY.Despite its growing relevance as a more sustainable and flexible approach to traditionalplanning, the concept remains ambiguous. Several scholars describe the field of temporaryurbanism as disorganized, confusing, and difficult to d
This thesis consists of two main parts: MATLAB-based theoretical analysis of a TI SAR ADC, and the design of a 10-bit 1 GS/s TI SAR ADC prototype with digital background calibration. For the TI ADC analysis, the effects of typical nonidealities, including offset, gain, and timing skew, are evaluated. In the circuit prototype, an 8-channel 125 MS/s SAR sub-ADC architecture is used. Each sub-ADC ad
I takt med att transistorerna blir mindre och mindre ökar effekttätheten i en integrerad krets, vilket leder till att temperaturen stiger. I en applikationsspecifik integrerad krets (ASIC) skräddarsys layouten för varje enskild konstruktion, vilket gör att varje komponents termiska signatur kan beaktas redan under planeringsprocessen. Det finns existerande lösningar för detta problem, men de kan iAs transistors get smaller and smaller, the power density of an integrated circuit increases and thus the temperature increases. In an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) the layout is tailor-made for each design, so the thermal signature of each component can be taken into account during the floorplanning process. Although approaches for thermal aware floorplanning exists, they aren
This thesis examines the extent to which the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Commission v Belgium (C-524/23), regarding Belgium’s failure to comply with the Directive by failing to correctly transpose Article 8(7) of the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD) into its domestic legal framework, impacts the Dutch transfer pricing rules under Article 8b of the Corporate Income
The availability of compensatory collective redress for GDPR violations remains an unresolved question. The issue has gained increasing importance as data protection infringements frequently affect large numbers of individuals, while existing enforcement mechanisms often fail to address such harms. This study analyses the scope of compensatory collective redress under Article 80 GDPR and the Repre
In recent years, regenerative tourism has gained increasing attention among scholars and practitioners as a transformative approach to tourism development, aiming to generate positive value for destinations, communities, and environments. Despite this growing interest, there remains limited empirical research on how regenerative tourism is practiced, particularly within urban destinations. This ga
Detta examensarbete genomförs i samarbete med Axis Communications och där syftet är att undersöka samt utveckla en automatiserad testmiljö för avståndsmätning i ett RFID-system. Bakgrunden till examensarbetet är att den tidigare manuella testmiljön är tidskrävande och känslig för mänsklig påverkan, vilket försvårar möjligheten att genomföra repeterbara och jämförbara mätningar. Målet med examensar
In this project I investigate how architecture can give form to an institution that creates the conditions for negotiation between competing narratives. It is situated at Sillhovstomten, the contested site behind the Nationalmuseum in central Stockholm. The failed Nobel Center proposal on this site revealed that it is not an empty void awaiting to be filled, but a place where different political,
The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers within child and youth protection services experience opportunities for recovery during sick leave and vacation, and how workload affects recovery in relation to absence from work. A qualitative approach was applied using semi-structured interviews with six social workers from different parts of Scania, Sweden. The empirical material was
Grocery shopping is an essential and regular part of everyday life, and retail stores across Sweden have sought to reduce the risk of near‑expiry food becoming waste by selling these products at discounted prices. Discounted near‑expiry food is particularly interesting because it is often perceived as risky, yet also offers consumers a way to shop more ethically by saving food and money. While pre
Gängkriminalitet har i det samtida Sverige blivit en viktig del av den svenska nyhetsrapporteringen, tidigare har dock fokuset huvudsakligen varit på män. Statistik från Brå visar att kvinnor i kriminella nätverk ökat markant de senaste åren, trots detta är forskningen om hur kvinnor framställs i nyhetsrapporteringen begränsad. Detta skapar ett behov att undersöka både hur kvinnorna framställs men
Föreliggande kandidatuppsats undersöker hur elbilen som miljömoraliskt och symboliskt konsumtionsobjekt påverkas under en svensk normaliseringsfas. Utgångspunkten är en spänning mellan den normativa framställningen som omger elbilen i offentligheten och den faktiska situationen vid köpögonblicket: bilförsäljare beskriver samstämmigt att miljöargumentet försvunnit ur säljsamtalen under de senaste å
