This chapter summarizes my doctoral thesis about Universal Design (UD) in Sweden, contributing knowledge about the understanding, implementation, and co-creation of UD. The implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Sweden made UD a guiding principle, necessitating research about the practical side of UD. Using qualitative research methods, interviews and gro
The building and construction industry is responsible for around 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, driving the urgent need for new regulations. As such, the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology has become fundamental for evaluating environmental impacts.

The emphasis on the equal and eternal responsibility of subjects of different gender and social positions in M.F. Roos's dialogue books promoted a special combination of radical equality in anthropology and a conservative understanding of society. A Pietist teaching on salvation permeates the Orthodox principles on vocation in such a way, that the vocation to community life as a Christian farmer,
International development cooperation is undergoing a transformation, driven by the urgent need for more effective, holistic approaches to address enduring global challenges. This thesis explores the paradigmatic shift towards complex adaptive systems (CAS) thinking in Swedish bilateral development cooperation project management, in response to these challenges. This shift mirrors a broader evolut
As a key part of its alignment with EU directives on public procurement, Sweden is actively integrating sustainability and circular economy practices into its construction sector. Circular principles in public procurement empower public authorities to stimulate sustainable practices across the sector, aligning with broader environmental and economic objectives. However, examples of implementing ci
In this study, we explored the implications of a groundwater development project on women's workload and their experience of marital violence in a Bangladesh village. We believe that the project facilitated irrigation water but also that it resulted in seasonal domestic water shortages. Men used deep motorized pumps for irrigation, and women used shallow handpumps for domestic purposes. Many handp
Purpose: To focus on sustainability projects in cities – how a big project is created, managed,and marketed to increase focus on and awareness of sustainable cities for urban stakeholders. Research Questions: How can projects and project management be used to develop and increase awareness and involvement surrounding sustainable cities for urban stakeholders? What are the views and attitudes surr
High energy use for space conditioning in residential buildings is a significant economic factor for owners and tenants, but also contributes to resource depletion and carbon emissions due to energy generation. Many existing dwellings should thus be retrofitted in order to fulfil the ambitious EU carbon emission mitigation goals by 2050. To investigate how future climate resilience can be implemen
This article examines the role of Swedish municipalities and municipally-owned energy utilities (MEUs) in advancing energy democracy through local renewable energy projects. Energy democracy emphasizes citizen participation and local control in energy governance. However, traditional representative democracy and municipal involvement remain central in Sweden, where trust in institutions and high t
There is a growing ‘energy democracy’ (ED) movement which regards the transition to renewable energy as an opportunity for socio-economic transformation, as well as technological innovation. The literature on ED tends to associate greater democratic control of energy systems with increased community control over the means of energy generation and distribution. Nonetheless, this literature often as
This paper describes a project course that focuses on the design of analog and mixed signal circuits through a systematic top down design flow. In the project, the student will be involved in the planning, modeling, circuit level design, physical level implementation and measurement verification of for example a successive approximation (SA) ADC or a class-D audio amplifier. Throughout the project
The marine environment faces significant changes due to anthropogenic activities, with urbanisation and "marine sprawl" introducing artificial structures that disrupt natural ecosystems. Artificial reefs (AR) and nature-inclusive design offer solutions to enhance habitat complexity and foster ecological restoration. This thesis investigates how AR design and material properties can suppo

Urbanization growth and aging infrastructures necessitate new infrastructure construction projects in congested urban areas. Urban construction projects interrupt the regular on-road vehicle traffic flow that affects air pollution concentration in the adjacent areas. The project schedule, however, is a possible contributor to the air pollution which has been neglected to date. This research propos
