This master thesis focused on evaluating and designing the user interface of a camera production machine used in an industrial manufacturing environment. The project was conducted in collaboration with a global technology company and aimed to improve usability, clarity and operational support through a user-centered design approach. The work began with a comprehensive pre-study of the existing int
As buildings become more energy-efficient in their operation, the environmental costs of building components, such as carbon emissions during manufacturing, transportation, and end-of-life, are becoming increasingly significant. Automated façade shading systems have been widely proposed for their ability to reduce operational energy use and improve daylight performance. However, their life-cycle e
This thesis examines whether the AI Act and the transparency obligations of its Art. 50(2) and (4) are adequate to effectively address violations of the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection by nonconsensual pornographic deepfakes. To this end, the thesis first demonstrates how nonconsensual pornographic deepfakes infringe the rights to privacy and data protection as enshrined in Art.
Denna masteruppsats har som mål att utvärdera på vilket sätt nivån av presence inom virtuell verklighet (VR) påverkar användares prestation i en miljö när de ut- för uppgifter. Den utvärderar även hur mycket ansträngning som bör läggas för att göra VR-miljöer mer realistiska i forskningssammanhang. Denna studie genom- fördes i två primära delar; först en utvecklingsfas där en gedigen informationss
There exists a lack of laser-based remote sensing methods that give signals with high intensity and directionality. According to previous research, mirrorless lasing can meet these requirements; however, neither the dependence on the gain medium geometry nor the light-matter interaction responsible for the emission has been investigated in detail. This thesis project examined the sideways lasing e
The rapid expansion of the plant-based beverage sector has increased the demand for high-performance, barista-grade oat drinks that are capable of withstanding the thermal and acidic stresses of coffee applications. This master’s thesis, conducted in collaboration with Cerealiq AB, evaluates the efficacy of six specific enzymatic treatments in modifying the structural and physical properties of oa
20-25% of semi-natural habitat per square-kilometre is required for the provision of local Nature’s Contributions to People. Farmers are key actors in reversing the severe habitat deficits in agricultural regions. Conceptually anchored in the Safe and Just Earth System Boundary Framework and the Tripartite Framework for Mitigation Pathways, this thesis combines a systematic literature review on ho
The thesis explores the differences between the enforcement of State aid within the EU compared to the EEA EFTA States, in an effort to find out whether Iceland’s accession to the EU could affect the legal status of power purchase agreements entered into by Iceland’s National Energy Company, Landsvirkjun, and energy-intensive user. These agreements have already been reviewed by the EFTA Surveillan
This thesis analyses the structural limitations of the prevailing entitlement-based framework of international human rights law (IHRL), particularly in pluralistic and multicultural societies, and evaluates whether integrating duties alongside existing rights, a duty-infused reconceptualization, can address those limitations or not? The study draws its primary motivation from a structural crisis i
This study explores how female managers in Icelandic technology companies describe their career journeys and the turning points that shaped their progression into senior management. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed using the Gioia methodology. The findings show that none of these women planned their way into leadership. Instead their careers were shaped by unexpected op
Denna uppsats analyserar kapitalismens sammansvetsning med människa och samhällsstrukturer samt hur detta påverkar ekologisk hållbarhet. Genom att applicera Baumans konsumtionsteori, Boltanski och Chiapellos teori om den nya kapitalismens anda och Olin Wrights teori om verkliga utopier på fem semistrukturerade expertintervjuer, har begrepp som ekosocial hållbarhet, cirkulär ekonomi och systemförän
Cleanrooms in the pharmaceutical industry are energy-intensive environments where HVAC systems account for roughly 50-75% of energy use due to high air changes per hour and strict conditioning requirements for indoor humidity and temperature. This thesis presents a techno-economic analysis comparing two of the most common HVAC system types. These systems are centralized, using one large AHU to pro
Post-quantum cryptography increases the computational and data-movement demands placed on embedded processors. Many standardized and candidate schemes rely heavily on Keccak, SHA-3, and SHAKE operations, where the 1600-bit Keccak state is repeatedly updated and may become a bottleneck when accelerated through software-hardware interaction. This thesis presents a direct memory access (DMA)-enhanced
This study examines how discursive legitimacy is constructed in strategic external crisis communication. Crisis communication and discursive legitimacy have rarely been studied together, although both fields examine how legitimacy is negotiated and maintained. Through a qualitative discourse analysis of multimodal media material, the study explores how language is used to manage a legitimacy threa
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) serves as the preeminent uniform legal framework governing international sales. Central to its application is Article 8, which prescribes a tripartite hierarchy for interpreting party intent by prioritizing subjective intent, applying the objective reasonable person standard, and mandating a holistic review of al
As wireless communication systems evolve toward 6G and joint communication and sensing paradigms, emerging applications impose stringent low-latency constraints on target tracking systems. Within the hardware implementation of particle filters, the traditional systematic resampling algorithm suffers from global data dependencies and sequential memory accesses, creating a fundamental performance bo
This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of women’s entrepreneurship in Skåne, Sweden, and to examine how entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) contribute to overcoming barriers in the business development process. Using a mixed-methods approach, including two literature reviews, four in-depth interviews, and a quantitative questionnaire, the study applies triangulation of empirical inf
This thesis investigates the economic and operational consequences of price-responsive operation of a large-scale alkaline electrolyzer producing hydrogen for fossil-free steel production. A time-resolved linear optimization model was implemented in Python, describing the interaction between a 740 MW electrolyzer (37 units of 20 MW), a hydrogen storage and a constant hydrogen demand. Three operati
Title: When the Map Is Wet, Navigation Still Depends on It: Organizational Sensemaking and Digital Infrastructure Dependency Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change – Master Level Authors: Clara Gerber and Ember Truppelli Supervisor: John Murray Purpose: This study examines how individuals within organizations make sense of digital infrastructure dependency when the
The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) strengthens the regulatory framework for improving the energy performance of the existing building stock in the European Union. In Sweden, the implementation of the directive is particularly relevant for residential buildings with low energy performance, especially buildings in energy classes F and G. This thesis examines how the revised
