In Sweden, as in many other countries, there is an increasing elderly population, which poses both challenges and opportunities for municipalities. Nevertheless, it is crucial to address their needs to ensure healthy aging and continued social inclusion to advance the prospects. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a framework to encourage cities to become more age-friendly, focusing

This master’s thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Remote Aero. The aim is to determine important design principles when developing an interface to be used for drone control in emergency situations. To determine the end user, an interview was conducted with the stakeholder. The end user was defined as an individual that works as a sea rescue volunteer at the Swedish Sea Rescue Society w

Aerosols are one of the significant factors influencing climate, environment, and human health. They are categorized into anthropogenic and natural sources. In Sweden, natural aerosol sources of high coarse mode particle mass concentrations for particles larger than 1 µm in diameter include sea spray, primary biogenic particles, and dust particles. The dust particles can be agricultural soil and m

This qualitative study investigates how formalization of private property rights through titling affects poverty dynamics in urban informal settlements in Jamaica, a small “developing” state. It relies on a case study to explore the impact of titling on tenure security, housing investment, access to credit, and gender poverty and the factors that support or constrain titling initiatives. Given the

This thesis presents an in-depth investigation into the behaviour of two distinct industrial material systems under specialized conditions: diamond tools machining titanium alloys and the annealing of alumina-forming steels. The observation of two sub-projects was finished by two state-of-the-art synchrotron facilities FlexPES and MAXPEEM respectively at the MAX IV laboratory. The study elucidates

This thesis explores the complex relationship between crime and development, focusing on how this relationship is understood in current literature. Through synthesising existing literature, empirical evidence, and theoretical frameworks such as modernisation theory, strain theory, and social disorganisation theory, it aims to offer a nuanced understanding of this nexus. The systematic literature r

CAT bonds allow institutions to transfer insurance exposure from their balance sheet onto the capital market to hedge against catastrophe-linked payment obligations. For investors in the capital markets, CAT bonds are, at least theoretically, a means of employing capital to earn a return that is uncorrelated with alternative investments. Grounded in this theoretical approach, we investigate the po
