Landscapes fill a fundamental function of the human experience. The variance of these landscapes however, are vast, and arguably, so could the human experience of them and the ways they are expressed linguistically be as well. Of the few studies that so far has been conducted on this, none has focused on North America as a whole in a quantitative manner. This study aims to explore what systems lan
Forced displacement is a growing issue worldwide, driving individuals to flee and leave their livelihoods behind. Many of those forced to flee in previous years are now undergoing repatriation, with the number of returns expected to rise. However, Afghanistan’s unstable conditions, particularly for women, pose economic challenges for returnees. It may restrict their ability to effectively cope wit
Hur kan man bäst bestämma varifrån en bild är tagen? Den frågan har blivit mer relevant de senaste åren när krig och konflikter kommit närmare inpå. GPS-jamming är vanligt förekommande inom teknologisk krigföring, vilket gör våra nuvarande positioneringssystem opålitliga. Inom autonoma fordon är frågan högst relevant för att möjliggöra säker navigering i en föränderlig miljö. Även populärkulturellIn this thesis project we present a 2D-3D matching method leveraging fused local and global descriptors for robust camera pose estimation. The query image is localized by incorporating a covisibility search method to identify multiple candidate parts of the scene where the query camera is likely to be located. The localization begins with a search that looks through database images, collect associ
The Traditional Knowledge (TK) of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) plays a crucial role in addressing the biodiversity and climate crises. Yet, market- and state-driven governance of TK continues to assist and enables its exploitation. I investigate the potential of Traditional Knowledge Commons to protect the knowledge and rights of IPLC from violations. Through a multi-case study
Styrning av partiklar med ljud och intelligenta algoritmer Det här examensarbetet handlar om att styra små partiklar i vätska utan att röra vid dem, med hjälp av ljud. Genom en teknik som kallas multimodal akustofores kombineras flera olika ljudvågor för att noggrant kunna påverka partiklarnas rörelser. Metoden är särskilt intressant inom biomedicin, till exempel vid analys av enskilda celler ellThis thesis explores a range of control algorithms for multimodal acoustophoresis, the process of manipulating particles in a fluid by simultaneously using several acoustic modes. The aim of the algorithms is to precisely guide particle trajectories in acoustofluidic systems, motivated by the demand for non-invasive, scalable manipulation techniques in biomedical applications such as single-cell a
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health concern, driven by the overuse of antibiotics and a lack of new drug development. To address this challenge, alternative antibacterial targets involved in essential bacterial functions are being explored. In this study, three compounds were synthesized using N-acetylglucosamine as the starting material. One of these compounds serves as a ke
This thesis explores the backgrounds and socio-ecological systems of ethnic communities in rapidly growing coffee destinations in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. Using a political ecology approach, it investigates the resilience of coffee-producing villages where ethnic minorities maintain unique cultures and identity. The study highlights ecological vulnerability and socio-political marginalisatio
Arctic coastal fishing communities face rapid environmental, social, and regulatory changes that challenge their adaptive capacity and resilience. Focusing on Moskenes on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway and approaching the case with a critical perspective on social resilience theory, this study investigates the adaptability of coastal fisheries and how their adaptive capacity is affected by
The global fashion industry causes severe environmental and social harm, underscoring the urgent need for a sustainability transition. Circular Business Models, such as Fashion Rental Services (FRS), represent a promising yet currently limited alternative with reduced environmental impacts. This study presents a case study of the fashion industry’s sustainability transition by exploring FRS in Swe
Byggprojekt är ofta långvariga och involverar ett flertal aktörer med varierande organisatoriska egenskaper och mål. Detta skapar en komplex samarbetsmiljö och samverkansentreprenader har därmed blivit en vanlig genomförandeform för att hantera detta. Upplägget präglas av öppenhet, förtroende och gemensamma mål mellan parterna, vilket syftar till att nå bättre förutsättningar för genomförande av p
Europas flygbransch står inför stora utmaningar och förändringar, präglade av tilltagande miljökrav, geopolitisk osäkerhet, konjunktursvängningar och förändrade resmönster. Samtidigt kvarstår effekter från tidigare kriser, såsom Covid-19 pandemin. I ljuset av den förändrade marknadsdynamiken växer ett nytt segment fram, där modellen ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance), blir alltmer centr
Svenskarnas skuldberg växer och unga vuxna svenskar tar konsumtionslån i allt större utsträckning. Det är oklart vad denna ökning beror på, men det är möjligt att psykologiska variabler spelar in. Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var därför att undersöka sambanden mellan finansiell förmåga, ensamhet och känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) samt deras förmåga att predicera benägenheten att ta konsumtionslIn Sweden, the amount of young people taking consumption loans is growing. The reasons behind this increase are unclear, and could potentially be explained by psychological factors, rather than economic ones. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was therefore to examine the relationships between financial literacy, loneliness, and sense of coherence (SOC) and their ability to predict the like
In recent years, the European Union (EU) has tackled the issue of free and fair competition in digital markets by enacting a regulatory framework within a specific legislation called “The Digital Markets Act” (DMA). This recently adopted regulation lays out rules and obligations binding on digital “gatekeepers”, that is undertakings operating on digital markets that provide “core platform services
The National Archives of Sweden have been given the task of standardising the management of electronic records in the public sector so as to ensure long-term storage and readability of these records in electronic archives. Standardisation is a powerful tool which eases transferability and prevents obsolescence. International organisations, including the EU, have long been producing and managing st
Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera de psykometriska egenskaperna och den kliniska användbarheten av en svensk version av Hayling Sentence Completion Test gällande att skilja på vuxna med attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 47), autism (n = 33), och med båda diagnoserna (n = 31). Hayling-testet är ett neuropsykologiskt test skapat för att mäta initiering och inhibition. Den pThis study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and the clinical utility of a Swedish version of the Hayling Sentence Completion Test in distinguishing between adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 47), autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 33) and co-occurring ADHD and ASD (n = 31). The Hayling test is a neuropsychological test designed to measure response initiat
The Swedish labour movement archives are an early example of community archives. Despite this, they have never been examined as such before. This study aims to examine how the labour movement archives functions as community archives, and how that function has changed over time. Since the first labour movement archive opened in Stockholm in 1903, and the subsequent archives opened in smaller Swedis
Bakgrund: Forskning pekar på att sjuksköterskor generellt upplever stress i sitt arbete och på sin arbetsplats. Kunskap kring operationssjuksköterskors upplevelser av stress utifrån den specialiserade yrkesrollens ansvar samt i den arbetsmiljön man arbetar i saknas. En ökad kunskap utifrån operationssjuksköterskors upplevelser skulle kunna bidra till att förebygga stress och gynna patientsäkerhete
Geographical peripheries have long faced marginalization and degradation, enhanced by global trends such as urbanisation. Recently, their revitalization has gained urgency within sustainability discourse, seen as key to achieving global sustainable development. Yet, interventions often focus narrowly on economic recovery, overlooking the social dimension, particularly social cohesion, which is ess
Indigenous communities in the Amazon are facing rapid socio-ecological changes that threaten traditional land management practices and food sovereignty. Indigenous knowledge and practices, essential for biodiversity conservation, are quickly being lost. I examine how changes in traditional land management affect Indigenous food sovereignty and its impact on the growth of women's leadership in
