This thesis investigates the use of performance bounds in radar signal processing, with particular emphasis on the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) and its misspecified and Bayesian variants, the MCRB and the BCRB. These bounds characterize fundamental limits on estimation accuracy and can therefore be used to assess the performance attainable under a given signal model. However, they can also be used prosp

Integrating BIM material information into building performance assessment tools remains challenging, as IFC models often express material intent through project-specific names rather than analysis-ready thermophysical properties. This paper proposes Bidirectional Material Semantic Alignment (BMSA), a construction-context-aware semantic matching method within a two-stage framework that converts IFC

quintillo y paisaje is a visual study of the right hand interacting inside a map of traces issued from the specific right-hand movement inside a section of Lost summers (2013) for guitar by Staffan Storm (1964); activating epistemic consequences on the instrumental performance and the performative body during the creative process.The work extends on the PhD research thesis "Plastic Extension of Mu

This report maps the fossil and biogenic carbon flows that entered and left the Swedish economy in 2023 and discusses the implications of the Swedish climate target and some EU regulations on future carbon flows. The carbon flows were mapped according to Eurostat’s Economy Wide Material Flow Accounts (EW MFA) framework, focusing on anthropogenic carbon flows. The input flows in this framework cons

Background: Industrial adoption of third-party software tools requires more than technical performance evaluation, yet selection methods often underrepresent integration and organizational constraints. Objective: We develop CAFE, a context-aware framework for eliciting, assessing, and synthesizing tool selection requirements. Method: Following a Design Science Research approach, CAFE was developed

This article analyzes how gendered and queer refugee bodies navigate the intertwined dynamics of mobility, immobility, and survival in Turkey and Lebanon. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork with Syrian women and LGBTQI individuals, it shows how patriarchal, heteronormative, and increasingly hostile asylum environments shape refugees’ everyday movements, risk perceptions, and prospects for onward mig

Student attendance has been found to be a crucial factor impacting their learning in higher education. In recent years, however, student absenteeism has been a growing problem, suggesting that attendance is not viewed as essential for students. This study aimed to explore why students in their first years in engineering education decide not to attend learning activities. A qualitative study includ

I den här studien undersöks hur delaktighet för barn och unga som är placerade i familjehem formas i mötet med en organisatoriskt specialiserad socialtjänst. I arbetet kring barnet är flera yrkesroller inblandade, och kontakten med socialtjänsten präglas ofta av flera byten av socialsekreterare. Delaktighet handlar därför inte bara om att få komma till tals, utan också om hur barnets röst ges utryA foster care placement is a far-reaching intervention in children’s and young people’s lives, as it entails changes in everyday life, relationships, and contact with social services.When children and young people are placed in foster care, questions of participation arise in their encounters with social services, where work concerning the child is often organizationally specialized. In such an or

This national report shows that Swedish contract law is structured around a historically layered and theoretically contested conception of contractual fairness. Classical doctrine associated fairness with voluntariness and legal certainty within a formally liberal model centred on pacta sunt servanda. Developments connected to the welfare state, crystallised in Section 36 of the Contracts Act (191

Historical peatland drainage resulted in surface subsidence and reduced water storage capacity (WSC), a process that can be exacerbated by climate change. We assessed the effects of rewetting on WSC using mesocosm experiments in climate chambers, field measurements, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) analysis. Results showed that rewetting significantly increased WSC under both p

Here, I examine how the Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (Special Jurisdiction for Peace; JEP) in Colombia has developed innovative legal approaches to address environmental harm in armed conflict, including by recognizing Indigenous and Afro-Colombian territories as victims. I argue that the JEP demonstrates how international law can be reinterpreted through legal pluralism and, when read throug

This chapter examines the intersection of antitrust/competition law and climate change. It aims to strike a balance between antitrust purists, who emphasise economic efficiency and consumer welfare, and climate advocates, who underscore the profound challenges confronting humanity. It argues that antitrust’s consumer welfare standard can be adapted to accommodate climate change sustainability conc
