Climate variability poses an increasing threat to freshwater ecosystems. Particularly in temperate regions where the everchanging precipitation and temperature patterns can alter lake hydrology. The study investigates long-term variation in lake surface area in response to climate drivers across four lakes in southern Sweden, from 2000 to 2024. This was done using satellitebased remote sensing and
Sammanfattning Asfalt är ett av de mest använda byggmaterialen för vägar och påverkas kontinuerligt av klimatrelaterade faktorer som luft, vatten och temperaturväxlingar. Dessa miljöpåverkningar kan leda till nedbrytning av materialets mekaniska egenskaper och därmed försämrad livslängd och funktion. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur asfalt påverkas av tre miljöfaktorer: luft (
Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative modeling frameworks, excelling at producing state-of-the-art high-quality, diverse data samples across various domains. Although slightly suffering from slow sampling speed compared to other predominant approaches, various methods such as implicit and latent methods have addressed this issue. In many machine learning algorithms, including diffu
Conventional agriculture, dominated by annual crops, has revolutionised food production but also introduced significant environmental and social challenges. Perennial crops offer a promising alternative, with potential benefits for ecosystem services, agricultural sustainability, and food security. Although the environmental benefits of perennial crops, such as the intermediate wheat grass Kernza
Med utgångspunkt i att misslyckanden sällan studeras, trots att de är vanligare än framgång, syftar denna studie till att bidra med ökad förståelse för hur mobila shoppingapplikationer misslyckas med att bibehålla rekryterade användare genom att analysera de praktiker och bakomliggande faktorer som formar och påverkar deras användning och avbrott. Studien positioneras inom modeshopping och genom e
This study examines the value creation in private equity through looking at the changes of a few chosen metrics, comparing the years before and after acquisitions. Building on previous research into the operational impact of leveraged buyouts in Sweden (Bergström, Grubb & Jonsson), 2009; Nordström 2015) this thesis examines the long-run performance of firms targeted by private equity (PE). Foc
Recently, the media has brought attention to the Adam case, a young boy who was taken into compulsory care by social services in Helsingborg amid false allegations from his mother and other parties. This study aims to analyze how the media frames social services, in this case, and how different parts are given voice in the media coverage. A qualitative content analysis was performed on news articl
I detta arbete redogör jag för brister och tillgångar i psalmutövande och psalmskrivande, i tider med ny psalmbok på gång. Jag har gått igenom hur tidigare psalmbokskommitté tänkte och gjorde samt intervjuade sekreterare i dåvarande grupp, Per-Olof Nisser. Jag har med dessa glasögon gått igenom nyskrivna verk och dess möjligheter och svårigheter att kunna bli del av en framtida psalmbok. Det jag hIn this master’s thesis, I will go through the strengths and weaknesses in contemporary hymn writing, in times when the Church of Sweden is in the process of revising their hymn book. I have compared this process with the previous process, what the committees thought and did and interviewed the secretary of the previous committee, Per-Olof Nisser. With this knowledge I have analyzed some new made
Hydrogen plays a pivotal role in the global energy transition, offering a clean and versatile energy carrier for a sustainable future. However, ensuring its safe use in industrial facilities requires reli- able prediction of dispersion from Venting Units (VUs). Traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations provide high-fidelity results but are too slow for fast safety assessment and i
Mycket har hänt på 100 år, våra levnadsförhållanden har förändrats, städerna har utvecklats, men på landsbygden har tiden stått still. Förr utgjorde bondgården en central del i böndernas liv men i takt med avvecklingen av lantbruken står många gårdar tomma och har tappat sin funktion. Under den rådande bostadsbristen väljer man ofta att bygga nytt istället för att utnyttja de byggnader som r
Vi kan idag se en ökande urbanisering i världen, 2018 bodde 53% av jordens befolkning i städer, en siffra som väntas öka till 60% till år 2030. Samtidigt mänsklighetens utsläpp av växthusgaser gett upphov till ökade temperaturer, som i sin tur leder till förändrade nederbördsmönster, vilka manifesteras i form av bland annat extrema regn. Detta har lett till ett ökat behov av att göra städer mer håThere is an increasing urbanization taking place in the world today, in 2018, 53% of the global population lived in cities, a figure that is expected to rise to 60% by 2030. At the same time, anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses give rise to increasing temperatures, which in turn lead to changed precipitation patterns, which manifest in the form of extreme rain events among other phenomena
“Netflix and chill?” It has been 10 years since this phrase has become an innuendo for casual sex. Netflix has become a streaming titan with over 300 million subscribers. The success of Netflix owes much to its original contents emphasising the competitive edge. Netflix categories its soft-core porn titles as Steamy Movies on the platform and even has an established category code for the genre, 11
We live in an increasingly individualistic society where involuntary loneliness, especially among older adults, has become a growing issue. In Sweden, where single-person households are common, many seniors, particularly those over 65 who live alone, report feeling lonely. At the same time, children are growing up with limited contact with older generations, as everyday interactions between age gr
This thesis presents a comparative geospatial analysis of earthquake damage caused by the 2020 Croatian earthquakes, the 5.5 magnitude Zagreb earthquake and the 6.4 magnitude Petrinja earthquake. Using only freely accessible data, including Copernicus EMS damage assessments, OpenStreetMap building footprints, and WorldPop population grids, the study explores how spatial damage patterns differed b
This thesis investigates the semiotic foundations of recurrent gestures through a cross-cultural study of the Two-Handed-Alternation-Sagittal (2HAS) gesture in Japanese and Swedish. Drawing on the Motivation & Sedimentation Model (MSM)––a cognitive-semiotic model of meaning-making––the study explores how recurrent gestures emerge from the dynamic interplay between embodiment and sedimentation.

This bachelor has examined how the birkin bag is represented in the television series Sex and the city and Gilmore girls, the reality show The real housewives of Beverly Hills and in a Youtube video from Kylie Jenner. Therefore this essay's purpose is to identify how the birkin bag is represented and which social interactions are therefore being made through all four videos. This essay also ai
Grayling, Thymallus thymallus, became locally extinct in Lagan around the 1950s due to human activity. Now, 70 years later, The Swedish Anglers Association is trying to re-establish a popula- tion in Lagan by releasing the fish in a tributary river, Krokån. This paper investigates the eco- logical challenges that this project faces. I conclude that the water temperature could pose a big problem
Under en tid har det funnits en önskan att förtäta bostadsområden för att spara mark och minska utspriddheten. Detta har skett på både bättre och sämre sätt. I städer där grönskan är begränsad har den ofta fått ge vika för punkthus. Även om tanken bakom detta är god och många gånger har genomförts på ett balanserat och ansvarsfullt sätt växer diskussionen om hur vi vill bo. Att exploatera åkermark
The Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) is a fixed-target missing-momentum experiment which hopes to detect dark matter in the MeV-GeV mass range. This is done by firing an 8 GeV electron beam at a thin tungsten target, where the electrons produce dark matter through a process called dark bremsstrahlung. Electrons which have gone through dark matter production can then be found by looking for miss
