The electric power system is undergoing a major change through the implementation of a large number of variable renewable energy sources (VRE), driven by the goal to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from electricity production. This transition increases the need for a more flexible and dynamic power system capable of maintaining voltage and frequency stability under changing operating conditions. U
This master thesis investigates the internal efficiency of Reverse Logistics (RL) processes within the company Ecophon Saint-Gobain, focusing on the reuse of acoustic panels as part of the company's Circular Economy (CE) initiatives. The study addresses three key research questions: (1) identifying inefficiencies in Ecophon's current RL process, (2) quantifying and evaluating internal RL e
This thesis explores the changing symbolic meanings of parliamentary buildings in Georgia and Ukraine. It focuses on how these spaces evolved from symbols of Soviet authority to main sites of resistance and political struggle through protest movements. The study offers a comparative analysis of Georgia and Ukraine through six key events that illustrate the symbolic transformation of the parliament
Denna studie undersöker hur körmedlemmar ställer sig till fenomenet att bli del av en större grupp och tillfälligt förlora sin egen identitet i samband med repetitioner och framträdanden med kören om kören på något sätt jobbar med gemensamma visuella uttryck och hur de bidrar till sammanhållning i kören samt vilka positiva och negativa känslor medlemskapet och deltagandet i en kör väcker.

Syfte: Att öka kunskapen om hur AI-verktyg för transkription kan användas i arbetet med att bedöma barns språkliga förmågor, samt undersöka huruvida de fel som AI-taligenkänningsproducerade transkriptioner innehåller påverkar de språkliga mått som används för språklig stickprovsanalys (SSA). Metod: Ljudfiler innehållandes en inspelad testning av narrativ förmåga för barn mellan tre och sex års ål
This thesis explores how sports contexts contribute to people's lives. Using CrossFit in southern Sweden as context, it draws anthropological conclusions on how life inside 'The Box' (the CrossFit gym) differs from other parts of the informants' lives. Followingly, it explains why and how individuals engage in the CrossFit context. Concludingly, it aims to illustrate what life feat
In this paper, a joint perception framework combining fixed and mobile cameras is proposed, which can achieve accurate real-time positioning of the mobile camera in a unified coordinate system. The system integrates VGGT for high-precision pose estimation and combines it with MASt3r-SLAM for robust real-time tracking. Alignment between different coordinate systems is achieved through rotation matr
Introduction: PARP15 belongs to the PARP family, which carries out ADP-ribosylation, a post- translational modification involved in DNA repair. Finding selective inhibitors can help discover more of the role PARP15 plays in our body. Background: Inhibitors of other PARP family members, such as PARP1, have been studied because of their role in cancer processes. However, PARP15 remains poorly charac
This thesis investigates the emergence of mid-term rentals (MTRs) in Barcelona, situating them within broader political economy debates on housing financialization, assetization, and rent extraction. MTRs operate in a legal grey zone between long-term tenancy protections and short-term tourist rental laws, and have expanded rapidly in the context of digital nomadism and post-COVID mobility. While s
Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en större förståelse för de hinder och problem som maskulinitetsnormer skapar rörande mäns känslouttryck. Studien belyser hur män upplever normernas påverkan på deras vänskapsrelationer. Empirin samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer, där åtta respondenter deltog. För att analysera empirin använder vi oss av en tematisk analys som resulterar i fyra olika tema
E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams today and considered a significant developmental challenge with less than 30% of e-waste being formally recycled. High-income countries are at an increasing rate exporting their hazardous waste onto low- and middle-income countries, creating additional pressure, exacerbating health risks, and degrading local environments in countries with less ca
Denna studie utforskar hur praktiker inom reklam- och marknadskommunikation förstår och balanserar kreativitet och konsekvens i sitt arbete. Detta studerades med en kvalitativ ansats genom fokusgrupp-intervju. Materialet analyserades tematiskt. Genom teorier om varumärkeskapital, reklamkapital och sensemaking föreslår vi att kreativitet och konsekvens samexisterar på olika skalnivåer, vilket tillåThis thesis explores how advertising practitioners understand and balance creativity and consistency in the advertising that they produce. Employing a qualitative methodology, this research utilised a focus group interview to thematically analyse practitioners' understanding and application of these two dimensions. Integrating theories of brand equity, advertising equity, and sensemaking, we p
Multimodal trajectory prediction is a task commonly found in fields like autonomous driving in order to model interactions between pedestrians and vehicles, but is also relevant in sports. In the context of football, predicting the future trajectories of the players and ball can be used to control a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, allowing for automatic video recording of games. Recently, transformer
This research analyzes the climate adaptation strategy of Copenhagen, focusing on cloudburst (rain-based) flooding and the use of infrastructure to mitigate damage. This strategy is analyzed through document analysis and structured interviews, using a theoretical framework of political ecology and urban green assemblages. This framework focuses analysis on the role of actors (human and non-human)
