This thesis examines whether household-level idiosyncratic shocks are associated with food insecurity among rural Nigerian households, and whether this association is more visible in experience-based indicators than in consumption-based outcomes. Using Wave 4 of the Nigeria General Household Survey-Panel, the analysis focuses on 3,383 rural households and estimates conditional associations between
This thesis explores how children can be actively involved in the design and construction of architecture through the creation of an outdoor kitchen at Guldängen Bygglek in Malmö. Using participatory design and full-scale creation as research methods, the children were invited in both the sketching and building processes. The project investigates how children’s perspectives can inform architectura
Accelerating climate change and the interrelated social-ecological crises of our time require sustained collective action to bring forth transformative change. Activist burnout due to unsustainable movement cultures is a widespread barrier to long-term engagement. This thesis explores the potential of an embodied approach to activism towards fostering sustainable and radical resistance through the
The study of the spatial domain within the field of semantic typology has seen more and more research activity since its inception. Still, more research is needed in order to uncover more of the linguistic variation of spatial language. As such, the present study examined, compared, and typologically classified three spatial subfields – basic locative constructions (BLC), frames of reference (FoR)
Klättercentralen är ett transformeringprojekt i Lokstallarna, Kirseberg. Lokstallarna har en mer än 100-årig historia bakom sig. Under stor del av 1900-talet var Lokstallarna en tågverkstad för Sveriges många tåg. Under slutet av 1900-talet blev många av lokalerna tomma då verkstaden lades ner. Därefter har fler olika företag hyrt in sig på området. Idag är Lokstallarna under utveckling då Malmö s
The Alto Atoyac Basin, located in the metropolitan area of Puebla and Tlaxcala, in Mexico, has been identified as a sanitary and environmental emergency region, with severe health impacts on the local communities. The Atoyac River in the region is one of the most polluted rivers in the country, primarily due to the rapid industrialization and urbanization. This thesis aims to understand how multin
The transition towards more sustainable transport is often framed as one of the most pressing and potentially life-changing transformations of contemporary society. Yet, how such transitions can be implemented while accounting for the diverse conditions in which mobility takes place remains contested. This thesis examines how residents in peri-rural communities in southern Sweden negotiate everyda
This thesis investigates the development of a digital beamforming algorithm targeting efficient execution on Neural Processing Unit (NPU)-oriented architectures for millimeter-wave (mmWave) Fifth Generation New Radio (5G NR) systems. While mmWave frequencies enable high data rates, they also introduce significant propagation losses that require advanced beamforming techniques that can overcome thi
Studien visar att konsumenter positionerar energidryck på egen hand mellan varandra. De positionerar även hela produktkategorin. Positionen som de tillskriver drycken skiljer sig mellan konsumenter och icke-konsumenterThe study demonstrates that consumers independently position energy drinks through interactions with one another. Furthermore, consumers contribute not only to the positioning of individual energy drink brands but also to the positioning of the entire product category. The position they attribute to the drink differs between consumers and non-consumers.
Contemporary lifestyles are increasingly characterized by prolonged sitting and reduced everyday physical activity, contributing to a range of health-related challenges. This project investigates whether residential architecture can encourage everyday movement and support health without relying on institutional or fitness-oriented solutions. The research explores how the layout of the home and
This thesis conducts a Discourse Analysis of “Sumud Podcast: Inspired by Palestine”, reflecting on the discursive construction of the diaspora’s identity and collective imaginary, as well as the representations of care practices and their radical potential. Resorting to a framework that combines both Diaspora Theories and Radical Care, the analytical focus centres both on how care practices are ar
This paper analyses how Danish political parties framed official development assistance (ODA) during the 2026 parliamentary elections, following the proposal by the liberal party Venstre, a member of the governing coalition, to reduce Denmark’s minimum ODA budget from the 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) to 0.5% of GNI. Drawing on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s discourse theory, the empiri
Uppsatsen studerar framväxten av det svenska välfärdssystemet för värnpliktiga mot bakgrunden av den fackföreningsliknande värnpliktsrörelsen och förekomsten av psykisk ohälsa och dödsfall bland värnpliktiga under mitten av kalla kriget. Analysen är uppdelad i tre delar. Den första behandlar psykisk ohälsa och dödsfall bland värnpliktiga med tryckt statistik samt diarier förda av försvarsmaktens pThe paper studies the development of the Swedish conscript welfare system against the backdrop of the trade-union like conscript movement and the prevalence of mental illness and deaths among conscripts during the middle of the Cold War. The main analysis is divided into three parts. Its first part relates to mental illness and deaths among conscripts utilizing printed statistics and registries ma
Material decarbonization in construction is often framed as a technical challenge of substituting high-carbon materials with lower-carbon alternatives. However, organizations seeking to reduce material-related/ embodied emissions must also address significant uncertainties related to regulation, supplier capacity, technology scale-up, client demand, project economics, data quality, and internal go
This thesis explores the experiences of safety and danger among Nigerian migrant sex workers in Copenhagen and examines how they produce strategies of safety collectively and individually. The study employs an ethnographic approach based on the participation of fifteen Nigerian migrant street-based sex workers, who all hold residency in Southern Europe and utilise their right to ninety days of mob
This thesis examines how principles associated with direct democracy are transformed when citizen participation is organised through digital platforms. It compares Riketsröst, an early-stage voting initiative intended for local use in Vellinge, with Malmöinitiativet, an institutionalised municipal e-petition system. The purpose is to analyse how the two cases enable agenda-setting, communication a
Digital games make failure unusually visible through explicit and repeatable setbacks. Yet procedural clarity does not determine its meaning for players, and another attempt does not ensure learning or persistence. This thesis explores how players of the Dark Souls series interpret repeated failure and through what mediated processes they decide to retry, adjust, seek assistance, pause, return or
This thesis explores evidence of Chinese influence on European Parliament voting patterns by means of foreign direct investment (FDI). It analyses how FDI exposure affects alignment with Chinese interests in European Parliament votes using OLS regression models. The FDI and GDP data used were collected from Eurostat and the voting data were compiled manually and by accessing the European Parliamen
As sustainability goals gain importance, both the renovation of existing buildings and the transformation of construction methods are becoming priorities that may drive innovation in current practices. Within this context, this research examines through a design-based methodology the relationship between computational design, craftsmanship, and material innovation. Through a series of material
