We have entered a 21st century where people, rather than uniting across borders and daring to feel an affinity with the other, bridging ethnic and national differences, are now increasingly vulnerable, exposed to fragmenting movements often set in motion by leaders driven by egocentric values and self-interests pursued at the expense of the well-being of minorities and those occupying a lower leve
With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, new challenges for system stability have emerged. To address this, the European Union has introduced a regulation called Requirements for Generators (RfG). This regulation sets specific performance standards, one of which is a minimum critical clearing time related to faults. Some production facilities with low inertial
This thesis aims to look at the dispute resolution mechanisms in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) and how these contribute to the legal certainty of European Union law and the prevention of fragmentation of EU harmonisation. Brexit presented unprecedented challenges to the European Union’s (EU) legal order and brought significant questions to the upholding of legal certainty and har
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
Groundwater hydraulics and aquifer processes are largely investigated using techniques that involve some kind of borehole test pumping. Such techniques are well established in the engineering and scientific community but are resource demanding. Time series analysis offer a collection of alternative methods that can be used to evaluate groundwater processes like recharge by using natural groundwate

Syftet med denna uppsats är att problematisera Pensionsmyndighetens externa kommunikation, mer specifikt informationskampanjen Riskgruppen, och analysera på vilka sätt den kan förstås som producerad i en nyliberalistisk diskurs. Inom ramen för detta syfte problematiseras vad en nyliberalistisk diskurs kan sägas kännetecknas av och vilken “konceptuell logik”, d.v.s. de värderingar och förgivettagna
Personlighetsforskare är oense om huruvida personlighet och kompetens är åtskilda. Tidigare forskning har visat att det finns en skillnad i personlighetstester mellan items som relaterar till hur folk tenderar att bete sig från hur väl personer utför beteenden, d.v.s. kompetens (Bäckström et al., 2020). Vi undersökte hur mängden kompetensrelaterad information vid beskrivning av människors egenskapThere is disagreement in the personality research-field whether competence and personality should be separate concepts. Bäckström et al. (2020) showed that people could separate items relating to frequency of behavior (personality) from items relating to quality of behavior (competence). We looked at how the amount of competence-related information, when describing people's characteristics, af
The aim of this study was to inquire how staff that works with youth that are placed in out of home care reason around the definition of participation. We also examined how they felt about their possibility to influence youth participation during their placement regarding the daily routines. We also looked into how the staff felt regarding their possibility to influence their work with the youth’s
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
The following research explores a critical intersection between the work of mine action and the climate. It addresses the amplified impacts of climate change on water in Yemen, a country afflicted by protracted conflict and growing climate threats. This study showcases the necessity of integrating climate considerations into the mine action strategies and underpins the impact of climate change on
A case study house for a regenerative architecture. What would a regenerative architecture look like, in the context of a wetland landscape? With climate catastrophes becoming the new reality for an increasing amount of communities, floods among them, how would we live in a landscape, and with what materials would we build, in order to mitigate these issues? How do we live with a landscape, inste
