An integrated lunar habitat system is proposed, combining mycelium-based biological materials, autonomous robotic construction, and modular architectural strategies to enable long-term adaptation in extreme environments. Before human arrival, robotic units construct the primary structure and initiate mycelium growth along interior surfaces. This fungal layer functions as a living sensor network, w

As China's aging process accelerates, it is becoming increasingly difficult for existing urban infrastructures to meet the needs of older adults in terms of daily mobility and social participation. This paper examines how urban infrastructure in China facilitates or constrains the daily lives of older adults by understanding the perspectives of family caregivers. Based on data from semi-struct

Minskade koldioxidutsläpp från energisektorn är nödvändigt om Sverige ska kunna nå klimatmålet inga net- toutsläpp av växthusgaser senast 2045. Biobaserad kraftvärme som drivs på restprodukter från skogsindustrin har möjligheten att bidra till minskade utsläpp men bränslena måste vara miljömässigt hållbara. Detta arbete undersöker potentialen för ett ökat uttag av grot, grenar och toppar, från sveReducing carbon dioxide emissions from the energy sector is essential if Sweden is to achieve its climate target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Bio-based combined heat and power (CHP), fueled by residual products from the forest industry, has the potential to contribute to reduced emissions but only with enough fuel that’s environmentally sustainable. This study investigates the pot

I Sverige pågår en elektrifiering av samhället, där transporter, industrier och hushåll i allt större utsträckning försöker övergå till el som energibärare. Detta är en central del i att nå våra klimatmål, men ställer samtidigt höga krav på elsystemets kapacitet. För att kunna planera för ett robust och hållbart elnät krävs en förståelse för hur el används idag. I denna rapport ligger fokus på attThis report aims to develop general synthetic load profiles representing electricity consumption in Swe- dish single-family homes. Based on historical hourly consumption data from Lomma and Helsingborg, provided by RISE, three models – SARIMAX, GRU, and Prophet – were trained and evaluated. To enable comparison and future scalability, the data was normalized by each user’s annual consumption. Amon

The lithium extraction sites are rapidly expanding to meet the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries, primarily for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Serbia has emerged as a key European frontier due to the country’s significant lithium reserves, particularly in the Jadar region. This thesis critically examines how the controversial Jadar lithium mining project is discursively legi

The study aimed to identify these challenges and examine

This research investigates the legal framework of the European Union (EU) in addressing trade-based sanctions evasion, with a specific focus on the role of private sector actors, specifically financial institutions and shipping companies. Trade misrepresentation — a rising method for moving illicit funds through techniques such as under-invoicing, over-invoicing, phantom shipments, complex corpora

Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. The EU has recognised the need to limit global warming to 1.5°C to avoid catastrophic environmental, societal, and economic consequences. This political ambition is anchored in legal obligations. Article 11 TFEU requires that environmental protection be integrated into all EU policies and activities. However, despite this constitutional

Plastic packaging provides enormous benefits for preservation and transportation of food and beverage products. However, recycling the multilayered packaging materials represents a challenge due to the complexity of separating the components making up the different layers. The drinks packaging, having aluminium (Al) as a light barrier placed between polyethylene layers inside the paperboard carton

Arbetet behandlar införandet av så kallade säkerhetszoner i Sverige och analyserar säkerhetszonerna ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Säkerhetszoner möjliggör för polisen att genomföra kroppsvisitationer och fordonskontroller utan krav på konkret brottsmisstanke inom ett geografiskt avgränsat område. För-slaget om säkerhetszoner återfinns i det så kallade Tidöavtalet och har sedermera lett till lagThis thesis explores the legal implications of introducing so-called security zones in Sweden and analyzes them from a rule of law perspective. These zones allow police to conduct body searches and vehicle inspections without requiring specific criminal suspicion within designated geographic areas. Introduced as part of the Tidö Agreement (Tidöavtalet) and now legislated, security zones aim to com

Företagsobligationsmarknaden utgör en viktig del av Sveriges kapitalmarknad och har under de senaste åren upplevt en betydande tillväxt. Genom att emittera företagsobligationer har företag möjlighet att inbringa kapital till sin verksamhet, medan investerare erhåller avkastning. En nyckelaktör i denna process är arrangören, som utses av emittenten för att leda projektet. Arrangören spelar en avgörThe corporate bond market is an important part of Sweden's capital market and has experienced significant growth in recent years. By issuing corporate bonds, companies can raise capital for their operations, while investors receive a financial return. A key element in this process is the arranger, who is appointed by the issuer to manage the project. The arranger plays a crucial role, particul

Uppsatsen undersöker frågan samebyars avtalsrätt. Frågan är intressant eftersom samebyar i viss mån kan jämföras med ekonomiska föreningar. Juridiska personer har vanligtvis avtalsfrihet, men samebyars möjligheter är begränsade. Enligt ren-näringslagen får samebyarna inte ingå avtal om upplåtelse, och det är endast rege-ringen som får förordna om ett upphörande av renskötselrätten. År 2020 medde-lThis essay examines the contractual capacity of Sámi villages. While these villages are, in legal terms, comparable to economic association and thus possess legal personality, their ability to enter into agreements is subject to legal constraints. Unlike typical legal entities Sámi villages are not free to contract as they wish. Under the Reindeer Husbandry Act, Sámi villages are prohibited from g

Upphovsrättens grundläggande syfte är att säkerställa en rimlig balans mellan skyddet av upphovsmannens rättigheter och möjligheten att utnyttja kulturella och kreativa verk i samhället.
