In recent years, as 6G wireless systems continue to develop, high-accuracy indoor localization has become increasingly important for future wireless systems. At the same time, reliable indoor positioning is needed by many location-aware applications, such as robotic navigation, emergency healthcare, and smart transportation. Since indoor wireless measurements can vary over time due to multipath pr
As offshore wind farms continue to grow in scale and number, wake interaction between turbines represents a significant source of power loss and increased fatigue risk. Consequently, there has been an increased interest in wake control strategies. Wake control strategies aim to mitigate these effects but their comparative effectiveness across power, wake velocity and turbulence intensity is not we
Cybersecurity has never been more relevant than it is today, as attacks become increasingly sophisticated. To keep devices safe from threats, a new type of smart firewall has become an active area of research. This type of firewall can dynami- cally configure itself based on incoming network traffic using reinforcement learn- ing. This research has shown promising results; however, its impact on r
The thesis analyses one of the most debated issues in EU civil procedural law following the adoption of the Representative Actions Directive in 2020. The Directive introduced a harmonised framework for collective redress within the EU, making it possible to bring both collective compensatory and injunctive actions. At the same time, however, it also created important practical and procedural chall
I takt med utvecklingen av AI-genererad media, har allmänhetens uppfattning om sådant innehåll förändrats. Studier visar att innehåll som märks som AI genererat interageras mindre med jämfört med innehåll märkta som mänskligt skapat. Mot denna bakgrund undersöker uppsatsen eventuella metoder för att verifiera att innehåll är skapat av en människa, i synnerhet ifall rätten till namngivelse kan fungWith the rise of AI generated media, a shift in the audience perception of AI generated content has taken place, where studies show that content which is labelled as AI will be less interacted with compared to human labelled content. The thesis therefore examines possible methods for verifying human made content, in particular, whether copyright’s right of attribution can act as a veri-fier for hu
This thesis aims to address a dual crisis. Globally, the construction industry relies on a linear “take-make-dispose” approach and a “tabula rasa” tactic in each novel project, draining the Earth’s resources. Locally, around a half of residential buildings in Riga, Latvia, are of Soviet mass housing typology. These structures are on the verge of structural expiration, at risk of progressive collap
This thesis examines the transport justice in Copenhagen for multimodal transport using cycling and the metro network, to answer the research question ‘How equitable and equal is the bicycle access to high-capacity public transport metro stations in Copenhagen, and how is transport justice distributed?’. This question is answered by combining an expert interview, field observations, and geographic
Trafik spelar en grundläggande och central roll i stadsutvecklingen, där transportsystemet formar hur städer och samhällen utvecklas, människors rörelsemönster och hur miljön upplevs. Tidigare studier visar att det sannolikt finns ca 20 miljoner parkeringsplatser i Sverige. För att minska antalet anordnade parkeringsplatser som krävs vid nybyggnation kan byggherren göra mobilitetsköp som syftar tiTransport plays a fundamental role in urban development, as transport shapes how cities and communities evolve, influence people’s movement patterns and affect how the urban environment is perceived. Previous studies indicate that there are approximately 20 million parking spaces in Sweden. To reduce the number of parking spaces required in new developments, the developer can invest in mobility me
In the algorithmic age, the use of machine learning algorithms to profile individuals and groups is on the rise. European data protection regulation remains focused on an overly individualistic conception of informational privacy, requiring individuals to manage their own data protection. This has been proved unsustainable in practice due to the countless privacy notices that individuals encounter
This thesis focuses on how changing the combustion chamber geometry in a small two-stroke engine can improve performance. The engine used for this thesis is a Husqvarna AB chainsaw engine with Schn¨urle porting and air-leading stratified scavenging. Four different combustion chambers were subjected to CFD simulations, and from them two were selected for engine testing. In total, five combustion ch

In recent years, China has carried out large-scale poverty alleviation and relocation policies, helping many people living in remote mountain areas move into newly built urban resettlement communities near cities. These policies greatly improved living conditions, but at the same time, many daily rhythms and living habits that once existed in villages have been strongly affected by standardized ur
Food loss and waste (FLW) is an urgent global challenge. France pioneered in implementing a binding legal framework that incentivises supermarkets to donate their surplus to charities. In this thesis, I combine responsibilisation theory and a feminist political ecology lens to investigate previously overshadowed aspects of this law. I demonstrate that the responsibility for food waste (FW) managem
This thesis explores the furry fandom and, more specifically, fursona construction and realization of the furries’ “fursona”. The furry fandom is a community of people with a “fan-like interest” in media centering anthropomorphic animals, and members of the fandom are called furries. Drawing on the individual experiences of furries through nine semi-structured interviews, the study aims to give an
This study aimed to examine which organizational demands social workers experience in their work with women exposed to intimate partner violence and how these demands influence their professional discretion. The study was conducted as a quantitative survey targeting social workers in Sweden working with intimate partner violence. A total of 58 responses were collected. The results show that high w
This research has explored the role actors from various scales have in the production of Research, Innovation and Smart Specialisation Strategies (RIS3) in the Eastern and Southern Netherlands through its multi-level governance framework. This could be worrying, as the influence from higher-scale actors could weaken RIS3’s ability to create place-based programmes. In order to gain an understanding
A longstanding debate in constitutional theory concerns the legitimacy of constitutional review and the scope of judicial interpretation. The core of the conflict is the conceptualization of the separation of powers and the related distinction of law and politics. Strategic litigation stresses this existing normative tension, because it brings issues to court with an agenda that goes beyond the in
As Swedish migration laws become increasingly exclusionary, there exists integration activities which resist this rhetoric. This thesis looks at the activities carried out by Lunds Kommun social workers, and the organisation Interkultur i Lund. Through my own work as an intern with Lunds Kommun, in the Barn i Start team, I carried out 20 weeks of participant observation, and experienced fun, play,
High-pressure homogenisers (HPHs) are used for a variety of food products to create emul-sions. It is interesting both from a sustainable and economical perspective to make HPHs more energy efficient due to their high energy demand and low efficiency. Previous research has shown that drop deformation is affected by the whole HPH valve geometry, including the inlet chamber, and it is hypothesised t
I denna studie fokuserar vi på ett särskilt pedagogiskt förhållningsätt bland jazzpedagoger, vilket vi båda återkommande behövt förhålla oss till under våra jazzstudier. Detta förhållningsätt kännetecknas av stort elevinflytande och fokus på att studenten utvecklar autonomi. På grund av genrens historiska band med USA samt att ovannämnda förhållningssätt står i kontrast till amerikanska jazzpedagoIn this study, we put focus on a particular pedagogic approach among jazz teachers that we’ve encountered during our studies in jazz. This approach is characterized by giving students space to form their own studies and to develop the student’s independence through self-learning. Because of the historical bond that jazz shares with USA and because of the strong contrast within the character of the
