Peripheral regions experience difficulties competing against core-regions competitiveness. Although studies have proposed that innovation is an aspect peripheral regions could focus on to combat this inequality, many innovation strategies are developed for urban core-regions and are not applicable on peripheral regions to the same extent. Earlier research has shown that peripheral regions benefit
This thesis investigates multigenerational living as an architectural response to contemporary social fragmentation and urban isolation, offering an alternative model of dwelling grounded in collective domestic life. Drawing from personal experiences of growing up partly within an extended family, the work is motivated by these factors: intergenerational bonds, the timeless human tendency t
Denna studie undersökte möjligheten att använda icke-kontextuella mått på motivation: Tidsinvestering och Personlighet. Dessa icke-kontextuella mått utvärderades utifrån deras förmåga att predicera genomsnittligt betyg (GPA), ett vanligt använt mått på akademisk prestation och indikator för akademisk motivation. Resultaten analyserades via explorativ faktoranalys och multipel linjär regression basThis study investigated the possibility of using non-contextual measurements of motivation: Time-investment and Personality. These non-contextual measurements were evaluated based on their ability to predict Grade Point Average (GPA), a commonly used metric of academic performance and used tangible for academic motivation. Results were analysed through exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and multipl
Drug use is governed today by a global prohibition regime that medicalizes and criminalizes people who use drugs, producing marginalization, risk environments, and illicit markets. In parallel, digital platformization has enabled darknet cryptomarkets to reorganize drug distribution and create new social contexts in which drugs, markets, and users are discursively constructed. This thesis examines

Denna uppsats undersöker CISG:s tillämplighet på digitala produkter och hur konventionens varubegrepp förhåller sig till EU:s reglering av digitalt innehåll och digitala tjänster. Syftet är att klarlägga om digitala produkter kan omfattas av CISG samt att analysera om konventionens traditionella varubegrepp är förenligt med EU-direktiven på det digitala området. Uppsatsen besvarar två frågeställniThis paper examines the applicability of the CISG to digital products and how the Convention’s concept of goods relates to the EU's regulation of digital content and digital services. The aim is to clarify if digital products may fall within the scope of the CISG and to analyse whether the Convention’s traditional concept of goods is compatible with the EU directives in the digital field.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how the public artworks Fossil Composition (1955), Stone Flower (1955) and Tousle (1952), through their bureaucratic municipal processes, reflect the broader ideological ideas of the welfare state, or Folkhemmet, between 1951 and 1956. It also aims to examine what notions of intended municipal identity can be identified through the discourses surrounding the ch
Public transport is essential for closing the gap between different geographical locations. The equal distribution of opportunities to travel is fundamental in both Edward Soja’s theory of spatial justice and Karel Martens’ theory of transport justice. Access to modes of transport may vary according to the socioeconomic status of the area, creating differences in transport opportunities based on l
The principle of subsidiarity has a central role in EU environmental governance, formally serving as a legal-mechanism for allocating decision-making between the Union and its member states. This thesis examines how the principle functions during the legislative process, with the newly implemented EU Nature Restoration Law (Regulation (EU) 2024/1991) as the specific case, arguing that it operates
