The advancement of CMOS technology has been fueled by the need to satisfy Moore’s law by shrinking transistors to progressively smaller sizes and increasing the transistor density per unit area [1]. The dimension of the state-of-the-art MOSFET is now down to a few nanometers. However, with continued device scaling, the performance of Integrated Chips (ICs) starts to deteriorate, making it essentia
In this thesis, I discuss the difficulties Ukrainian refugees face in accessing and integrating into the Swedish labor market, the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Sweden with regard to the labor market integration of Ukrainian refugees, and the policy hindrance and CSOs’ limitation in achieving their goal for Ukrainian refugees. This thesis gathers qualitative data using semi-structu
Den här studiens primära syfte är att jämföra och utvärdera två medborgardialogs metoder. De två metoderna är samrådsmöten och Public participatiory GIS (PPGIS). Samrådsmöten är en etablerad metod inom medborgardialog för samhällsplanering i Sverige. Uppsatser syftar till att pröva hypotesen om PPGIS är en effektivare metods för medborgardialog. Uppsatsen utvärderade först de två metoderna med hThe primary purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate two public participation methods. The two methods are public meetings and Public participatory GIS (PPGIS). Public meetings are an established public participation method for urban planning in Sweden. The thesis aims to test the hypothesis if PPGIS is more effective as a public participation method. The thesis first evaluated the two me
International and national carbon reduction plans and targets have constituted the subject of a copious amount research in recent years. Concurrently, the number of cities, regions, companies and communities that have set ambitious targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency has been growing. Among these actors, rural communities in the developed world and their efforts toward the transitio
Sentinel-2 based data provides interesting opportunities for land monitoring and applications in agriculture. High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP) is derived from Sentinel-2 data and offers up to 13 metrics. These metrics have a high spatial resolution (10x10m) and enables the possibility for in-field agricultural monitoring. The aim of this study is to evaluate four of t
This thesis’ main goals were to provide accurate forecasts and informative physical parameter estimates for energy use of the district heating in the Tingbjerg neighborhood, Copenhagen. Our work is aimed as a contribution for future work towards efficient on-demand energy production. We applied Dynamic Double Machine Learning to estimate the causal effects of weather observations on energy use. Th
As information technology develops in the past decade, the digital society has affected every aspect of the social structure. The legal system faces the challenge in implementing the legal norms, yet the evolved architecture of technology in the digital society makes it difficult for the law to perform its function. One of the fields of challenge is legal protection of personal data. Legislat
Acknowledging, the research gap within sustainability transitions in analysing the local scale of transition processes, this work primarily, seeks to contribute to sustainability transitions studies by identifying the main factors that are enabling and hindering the materialization of low carbon mobility in Cuenca, Ecuador. The use of a case study as a research strategy and the nature of the rese
Memory integration is how series of similar memories can merge into overlapping representations as one abstract model of behavior to anticipate present and future episodes – facilitating instrumental use of episodic experience for higher-order inferences. Previous research has showed that a novel memory of reward can travel backwards in time through episodic memory and generalize its contents to p
Geographical Information Systems (GISs) have shown to be of great help in the work at contaminated sites. Today there is an increase in the development of 3D modeling in many fields. However, to combine the advantage working with spatial data in a GIS and 3D modeling for subsurface soil data is limited. In this study, the possibilities of interpolating volumes of soil contamination in 3D were inve
For efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. Dry powder inhaler (DPI) is today one of the most used inhalers for pulmonary delivery.
In this work a strategy for numerical simulation of punching during concurrent pressing of stainless steel sheet metal has been investigated accounting for the stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter. Modelling of the damage evolution of a sheet metal is a useful tool within the field of engineering and materials science, and can provide useful information regarding material capabilities in a

The primary settling tank (PST) is often one of the first treatment steps at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and is the first process in the plant to remove significant amounts of suspended solids. Its role in wastewater treatment however, has oftentimes been neglected and little effort has been made to optimize and model the process. The PSTs have historically been designed based on hydraulic
Automatic segmentation of organs and tissues in computed tomography (CT) images can aid clinicians in anatomical contextualization for planning surgery or dosimetry. CT scans can cover varying axial ranges of the body. This thesis aims to develop a neural network based on vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT images of arbitrary axial ranges. Two models are presented, one bas
Title: AI regulation within auditing? - The Implementation of the AI Act and its Effects in the Audit profession Seminar date: May 29, 2024 Course: BUSN79, Master thesis in Accounting and Finance, 15 hp Authors: Emilia Werner and Alva Tvede-Jensen Advisor: Liesel Klemcke Key words: Isomorphism, AI Act, sensemaking, AI, audit profession Research question: “How is the audit profession adapting to th
This thesis examines the interplay between gender and the perception of impoliteness in the Japanese workplace. Firstly, impoliteness is an area in sociolinguistics that discusses face-threatening acts, perceived in situations modified by different aspects, e.g. context and the gender of the interlocutors. Secondly, gendered language is another area within sociolinguistics which gained popularity
This research examines how consideration of place attachment and community values can inform the development and implementation of fair and equitable climate change adaptation (CCA) practices in the Australian local government context. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with expert interviewees and reflective thematic analysis to answer three research ques
In the context of China’s concerning decline in fertility rates and the widespread normalization of the ‘996’ overtime culture, the connection between overtime work and fertility assumes considerable importance. This research is firmly grounded in the theoretical framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), which investigates the complex relationship between overtime work and fertili
