A Scoping Review: Mapping the Climate-Conflict Nexus in the Arctic

As climate change alters the geophysical conditions of the Arctic, foreign policymakers are increasingly looking towards the region as a new theatre of potential conflict or cooperation. This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature, integrating both academic and government resources, to determine how the discourse conceptualizes the climate-conflict nexus in the Arctic.

ISAC Using Low Complexity mmWave Digital Beamforming Architectures

ISAC - Integrerad Avkänning och Kommunikation, är ett nytt och växande forskningsområde som förenar två tidigare separata men närbesläktade områden, avkänning (sensing), och kommunikation. Detta görs genom att dela hårdvara, konfigurationer och tekniker för de båda applikationerna. Detta arbete inriktar sig specifikt på implementationen av ISAC inom låg-komplexitets millimetervågsarkitekturer förISAC, or Integrated Sensing and Communication, is a growing research area and is expected to be an important part of the forthcoming 6G wireless communication standard. In this thesis, we focus on examining performance and limitations of an ISAC-radar in a low-complexity mmWave beamforming architecture. We design methods to detect multiple nearby targets and estimate their range, velocity, angle o

Beyond Profit: Multinational Corporations, Structural Injustice, and the European Push for Reform

This thesis aims to address the complex legal challenges related to the responsibility of multinational corporations for human rights violations and environmental harm in global supply chains. Starting from the context of increasing pressure on transnational businesses and the shortcomings of soft law instruments such as the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines, the study examines the pot

Mellan kontroll och utsatthet - Kvinnors upplevelse av kejsarsnitt i regional anestesi

Bakgrund: I Sverige föds vart femte barn med kejsarsnitt, varav majoriteten kvinnor är vakna med regional anestesi. Anestesisjuksköterskan delar omvårdnadsansvaret med barnmorskan. Studier har visat lägre nöjdhet vid kejsarsnitt än vid vaginal förlossning. Syfte: Att undersöka kvinnors upplevelse av den intraoperativa fasen av kejsarsnitt i regional anestesi. Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudi

A(nother) QuantitativeThoughtExperiment Towards 2030 and 2050

This is a quantitative thought experiment, exploring how the relationship between income, consumption, and emissions must adapt to meet the climate targets for 2030 and 2050. Replicating the dataset from my first-year thesis, I conduct a bivariate analysis of gross national income (GNI) per capita and carbon footprint per capita across 129 countries, using a fixed-effects regression and a random e

Capturing waste heat from Höganäs for Tullkammarkajen's future heat network

In the pursuit of more sustainable urban energy systems, recovering industrial waste heat presents a promising opportunity to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. This thesis explores the technical and economic feasibility of capturing excess heat from an industrial process and repurposing it to supply a new low-temperature district heating network planned for a new residential district

Transport justice in regional policy: A critical Analysis of Skåne’s transportation Strategies

Due to mitigation methods, fighting climate change, public transport has become more and more important, with transport justice principles ensuring that the resources of the public transport sector are being fairly distributed across society. Heavily drawing on transport justice theory as

Hvem är, som ej vill, att Bröder skola älska hvarandra? Skandinaviens folk äro ju syskon. En narrativ och idéhistorisk undersökning av Skandinavismen

The present thesis analyses the political and cultural ideas, as well as the narrative, articulated in the mid of the 19th century by prominent members of the student movement actively engaged in the pan-nationalistic, ideological current of scandinavianism. The research’s empirical material that conveys the narrative and idéas of the student movement was written and published in the early 1840s b

Urban Circularity in Practice: Connecting Circular Economy and Urban Resilience - A Case Study of Uppsala Municipality

The overall theme for this thesis is circular economy and how it relates to resilience, specifically urban and economic resilience, by using Uppsala municipality as a case study. By conducting semi-structured interviews with municipal connected employees, along with analysing relevant municipal documents and statements, this paper examines how these two concepts relate to one another in a practica

Solceller på skogsmark: påverkan på skogens ekosystemtjänster

Storskaliga solcellsparker rör upp mycket känslor och åsikterna kring parkerna varierar kraftigt, men faktum är att de är en viktig pusselbit i den energiomställning som Sverige står inför. Problematiken med storskalig solkraft är att parkerna tar upp stora landarealer och i södra Sverige, där elbristen är som störst, råder det även störst platsbrist. Ett alternativ som har börjat undersökas de seWe are at a critical point where the carbon emissions worldwide must cease. One way to do so is to switch to renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels. Solar power is an energy source which can be expanded rather quickly, and has become more common in the past years. The issue with large scale solar power plants is that they take up a lot of space, which leads to conflict of inter
