Real-time constrained control of robotic manipulators places strict computational demands on the underlying hardware. At typical industrial control rates, the controller must solve a constrained optimisation problem at every sampling instant without exception. General- purpose computing platforms running standard operating systems are poorly suited to this requirement, not because the underlying a
While AI can offer powerful predictive capabilities to facilitate environmental management, its rapid and often uncritical adoption risks instigating a new wave of "digital colonialism" by commodifying Indigenous environmental data and traditional knowledge. Drawing on the Governance Analytical Framework, Marxist political ecology, and decolonial theory, I examine current international a
Swedish forest management has been criticized for its negative environmental impacts, yet forestry legislation has remained largely intact for decades. Although the forestry debate is often described as polarized, the role of discourses in enabling or challenging institutional stability remains underexplored. Using discourse network analysis, with a basis in argumentative discourse theory, I exami
Dimensionering av kontaktledningssystem Kontaktledningssystemet är en central del av den svenska järnvägsinfrastrukturen och förser tågen med elektrisk energi. De bärande strukturerna dimensioneras idag på ett nationellt enhet- ligt sätt, med samma lastantaganden oavsett geografiskt läge, och med förenklade metoder där samtliga element dimensioneras för de maximalt uppträdande krafterna. Detta ar
This thesis explores how employees in service management companies experience the introduction of AI tools and how they perceive changes in their job roles. Drawing on the Job Demand-Resources framework and the concept of technostress, this research investigates the role of AI tools for product managers in their everyday work. These findings are based on qualitative research design, using semi-str
Kvarnen i Hasslemölla omnämns första gången år 1546, och idag består platsen av en gårdsmiljö med byggnader från mitten av 1800-talet. Historiskt har byggnaderna använts som kvarn, bostad, stall, magasin och vagnslider, och föreslås nu omvandlas till ett nytt centrum för Storkriket biosfärområde. Ett område som, i sin tur, är namngivet efter det lyckade återförvildnings-projektet för att åter
I denna uppsats undersöks vilka faktorer som bidrar till att vissa barn som växer upp i socioekonomiskt utsatta områden utvecklar en prosocial identitet och med resiliens hanterar de riskfaktorer som präglar uppväxtmiljön. Medan forskningen om dessa områden i huvudsak har inriktats på de processer genom vilka unga dras in i kriminalitet, riktas uppmärksamheten här mot den grupp som möter motsv
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 prompted an immediate sanctions response from the European Union (EU). However, this response revealed diverging interests within the EU, since energy sanctions affected member states unevenly. This was particularly visible in the cases of Hungary and Poland, where energy dependence and security concerns differ. Therefore, this research analyses what factors ex
Since the introduction of temporary internal border controls in the Öresund region the threats to public policy and internal security have had many faces. Threats moved from being placed under the climate security sector, to the social sector and most notably, the military sector. The Swedish and Danish governments have continuously securitized threats ranging from the Covid-19 pandemic, to terror
Over the last few decades, changes have been observed in the Swedish defence and security identity. While countless studies have examined the reason behind this transformation, identifying factors such as external shocks, ontological security and role theory, the normative dimension of this development has received less attention. This thesis therefore examines whether the Swedish defence and secu
Artikel 2 i Fördraget om Europeiska unionen (FEU) stadgar att Europeiska unionen (EU) bygger och grundas på värden. Eventuella åsidosättande av dessa värden diskuteras ofta i ljuset av medlemsstaters agerande, där artikel 7 FEU trots dess tillämpningsproblematik, fungerar som en sanktionsmekanism för ansvarsutkrävande av medlemsstater. Avseende institutionernas ansvar, har EU kritiserats av männisArticle 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) establishes the values upon which the European Union (EU) is founded. Potential breaches of the founding values are often discussed in the light of Member State action, where Article 7 TEU, although difficult to apply in practice, serves as a sanction mechanism to attain Member State accountability. Regarding institutional accountability, the EU has
The EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), a crisis response of 673 billion euro to the Covid-19 pandemic, made it possible to reward reforms in Member States for the first time. This thesis investigates whether the RRF can promote structural reforms, in line with the Eu-ropean Semester's Country Specific Recommendations (CSRs), using a principal-agent framework to theorise the RRF’s
Denna uppsats behandlar konflikten mellan varumärkesrättens ensamrätt och yttrandefriheten inom EU-rätten. Detta görs med särskilt fokus på hur begreppet skälig anledning ska tolkas när ett känt varumärke används av tredje man för att uttrycka politiska och/eller parodiska budskap. Bakgrunden till uppsatsen är det ännu ej avgjorda målet C-298/23 IKEA mot Vlaams Belang där det belgiska par-tiet VlaThis thesis examines the conflict between the exclusive rights conferred by trade-mark law and the right to freedom of expression within the framework of EU law. The analysis focuses in particular on how the concept of due cause should be in-terpreted when a well known trademark is used by a third party for the purpose of conveying political and/or parodic messages. The background to the thesis is
I början av 1990-talet genomfördes en reform på vårdnadsområdet för personer med funktionsnedsättning, den s.k. LSS-reformen. Avsikten var att lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade skulle ge dessa personer bättre möjligheter att leva sina liv på samma sätt och på lika villkor som personer utan funktionsnedsättning. Lagen har därför utformats som en rättighetslagstiftninIn the early 1990s, Sweden undertook a major reform of care and support services for persons with disabilities: the so-called LSS reform. The aim of the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (1993:387) was to give such individuals better opportunities to live their lives on equal terms as persons without disabilities. The Act has therefore been designed
This study examines how the reform from the Department of Education (SOU 2021:30) aimed at improving students’ achievement through additional study time and expanded school programs is implemented in elementary schools. The focus is on teachers’ perceptions and the importance of their room for maneuver and organizational conditions. The study addresses two research questions; how teachers perceive
Konkurrensrättsliga skadeståndsprocesser förekommer sällan i Sverige, trots att möjligheten att erhålla skadestånd på konkurrensrättslig grund har funnits länge i svensk rätt. Detsamma gällde under lång tid även i övriga EU-medlemsstater, fastän Europeiska unionens domstol erkände rätten till skadestånd redan år 2001. En central processuell utmaning är att skadelidande ofta saknar tillgång till nöDespite the long-standing availability of damages claims under Swedish competition law, such disputes remain uncommon. The same was true for a long time in other EU Member States, even though the Court of Justice of the European Union recognized the right to damages as early as 2001. A central procedural challenge is that injured parties often lack access to the evidence they need. The Damages Dir
Denna uppsats behandlar avdragsrätten för sponsringsutgifter i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet, med fokus på gränsdragningen mot avdragsförbudet för gåvor i 9 kap. 2 § inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229) (IL). Eftersom IL saknar en uttrycklig reglering av sponsring har rättsläget främst formats genom praxis. Uppsatsen undersöker vilken betydelse den föreslagna regleringen i SOU 2026:5 kan få för bedömnThis thesis examines the deductibility of sponsorship expenses in the taxation of business income, with particular focus on the distinction between deductible expenses and the prohibition on deductions for gifts in Chapter 9, Section 2 of the Swedish Income Tax Act (1999:1229). Since the Income Tax Act contains no specific rules on sponsorship, the legal framework has primarily been developed thro
I proposition 2025/26:246 föreslår regeringen att straffbarhetsåldern ska sänkas till 13 år för vissa allvarliga brott. Förslaget innebär att barn i 13–14-årsåldern ska kunna dömas till fängelse. Reformen motiveras huvudsakligen av den ökade gängrelaterade brottsligheten och att allt yngre barn involveras i grova våldsbrott. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera om lagförslaget om fängelse för barIn Government Bill 2025/26:246, the Swedish Government proposes lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 13 for certain serious offences. The proposal would allow children aged 13–14 to be sentenced to imprisonment. The reform is primarily justified by the increase in gang-related crime and the involvement of increasingly younger children in serious violent offences. The purpose of this thes
Trust in healthcare varies across regions in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether performance shapes trust in regional healthcare. This study engages with literature on institutional trust and uses institutional theory as a theoretical framework to explain the variation in trust in healthcare. The operationalisation of healthcare quality is guided by WHO and European commission
