The aim of the thesis is to explore the relationship between people and the coast by designing a series of huts that serve as a meeting point. The project investigates the Danish coast as a constantly changing zone shaped by water, wind, ecological processes, and time. Instead of attempting to control the coast, the thesis focuses on how architecture can coexist with these dynamics while creating

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur konsumenter upplever och värderar lojalitetsprogram inom e-handel som en utbytesrelation, med särskilt fokus på hur upplevt värde och tillit påverkar olika former av kundlojalitet. Studien har en kvalitativ forskningsdesign med en abduktiv ansats och bygger på 14 semistrukturerade intervjuer med unga vuxna som regelbundet handlar online och är aktiva i flThis study aims to examine how consumers perceive and evaluate loyalty programs in e-commerce as an exchange relationship, with particular emphasis on how perceived value and trust influence different forms of customer loyalty. The study adopts a qualitative research design with an abductive approach and is based on 14 semi-structured interviews with young adults who regularly engage in online sho

Kulturhistoriskt värdefulla byggnader och miljöer utgör en viktig del av samhällets identitet och kulturarv. Genom PBL har kommunerna möjlighet att skydda kulturvärden genom detaljplaner med hjälp av skyddsbestämmelser, rivningsförbud och varsamhetsbestämmelser. Dessa bevarandebestämmelser används för att säkerställa att kulturhistoriskt värdefulla byggnader och miljöer bevaras, värnas och beaktasThis thesis examines how Swedish municipalities apply conservation provisions in detailed development plans and whether these provisions comply with the requirements of the Swedish Planning and Building Act. The study focuses on preservation regulations intended to protect cultural heritage values, including protection provisions, demolition prohibition and caution provisions. It also investigates

Tuvalu, a sovereign island state in the Pacific, faces an unprecedented threat: entering a condition of uninhabitability and losing its land territory due to sea-level rise (SLR). While its inhabitants fight passionately to preserve their home, their remarkable culture, and statehood, existing scientific and legal frameworks remain fragmented to address the situation. The thesis aimed to develop a

This bachelor’s thesis investigates the role of the dress in three different romcom movies from the 1990s and 2000s. The chosen dresses for this analysis are the colorful mini-dress from 13 going on 30 (2004), the yellow gown from How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days (2003) and the purple-blue ballgown from 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). This thesis uses a semiotic analysis by Roland Barthes to study

With cross-border ecommerce transactions growing increasingly common in 2026, retailers struggle to ensure that their websites persuade members of foreign cultures to make purchases. This study examines a specific example of this phenomenon, in which Danish ecommerce platforms attempt to encourage purchases among customers from the USA. Ethnographic methodological practices are employed, including

Smart charging of electric vehicles can reduce cost by scheduling against time-varying electricity spot prices, but commercial systems generally rely on day-ahead prices and capture only within-day variation. This thesis investigates whether forecasting spot prices beyond the day-ahead horizon adds value for vehicle-integrated smart charging, and how that value varies across charging contexts. A t

This paper examines the relationship between financial inclusion and financial stability using panel data analysis with fixed effects estimations alongside an instrumental variable approach to reveal causal links. The study focuses on 18 Sub-Saharan African countries whose financial inclusivity has in some form been affected and driven by mobile money technology, and is captured from the years 200

This study examines how provocative investigative methods in cases of child sexual abuse are presented, negotiated and justified across different contexts, with particular focus on institutional texts and material produced by the non-institutional actor Dumpen. The aim is to analyze how such methods are justified, how risks are managed, and how arguments and problem representations compare across

This study examines the relationship between lagged precipitation shocks and fertility outcomes among rural women in the Peruvian highlands, using individual-level data from the Demographic and Health Survey (ENDES) merged with department-year Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) records from SENAMHI for the period 2009–2018. Exploiting within-department rainfall variation in a two-way fixed eff

This study examines how authenticity is constructed, interpreted, and negotiated through strategic communication in informal market contexts, with a focus on the Onitsha Main Market in Nigeria. While existing research often treats authenticity as a property of products or a matter of consumer perception, less attention has been paid to how it is produced through everyday market interactions. Adopt

Parallel tempering (PT) is a classical Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for sampling from challenging distributions. It employs a sequence of distributions interpolating between a simple reference distribution and a complex target distribution to aid sampling at the target. Non-reversible parallel tempering (NRPT) is a variant of PT that has been shown to outperform standard, reversible variants

This study examines how idealised expectations of Indonesian civil servants (Aparatur Sipil Negara/ASN) are not simply imposed or internalised but are continuously engaged with and negotiated through everyday discourse. Situated within Indonesia’s ongoing bureaucratic reform agenda, the study focuses on how state-led narratives and employer branding initiatives, particularly the BerAKHLAK core val

Growing concerns around resource depletion and climate change has made freshwater scarcity an increasingly urgent issue for cities around the world. In Cape Town, this became especially visible during the 2018 Day Zero crisis, when the City of Cape Town faced the possibility of its municipal water supply systems reaching a critical failure point. This thesis examines how freshwater scarcity in Cap

Efficient intracellular delivery of nucleic acid cargo remains a major challenge for lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based delivery systems. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been proposed as a possible strategy to improve this delivery process, but their efficiency is still limited by intracellular barriers, especially endosomal escape. In this thesis, CPP-mediated nucleic acid delivery was investig
