As climate change continues to intensify, young women are among those most affected, particularly in rapidly urbanising cities across the Global South. In Accra, one of West Africa's fastest-warming cities, young women navigate extreme heat daily, yet heat vulnerability research and policy rarely draw on their lived experiences. Accra's Climate Action Plan (CAP) is currently under revision
Sociological courtroom research has previously prioritized legal roles in studies, but my thesis extends this research by shifting attention to court guards. Drawing on dramaturgical sociology and the sociology of emotions, I show how court guards are integrated into the court setting as frontline emotion workers. The thesis asks how court guards manage the emotional, interactional and occupationa
This thesis asks whether the choice of golf ball model is associated with measurable differences in Strokes Gained performance on the PGA Tour, and whether any such difference depends on playing conditions. Results from 43 events in the 2025 and 2026 seasons are combined with a player-level equip- ment mapping and tournament-level weather and course data, and analysed with linear mixed-effects mod
The governing design standards for steel structures in the European Union (Eurocode) prescribe procedures for fatigue assessment and finite element analysis, but do not address fatigue evaluation under stochastic loading as defined by power spectral densities (PSDs). The common approach for such loading is to transform the statistical description into the time-domain, which is computationally inef
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur lesbiska erfarenheter av kärlek konstrueras i två svenska filmer. De frågor som ställs är hur representeras lesbiska romantiska - och interpersonella erfarenheter i filmerna? Utmanas eller reproduceras heteronormativa beteenden? Hur såg det mediala mottagandet av filmerna ut i svenska tidningar? Materialet som uppsatsen använt är filmerna Fucking Åmål The purpose of this essay is to examine how lesbian experiences of love are constructed in two Swedish films. The questions asked are how are lesbian romantic and interpersonal experiences represented in the films? Are heteronormative behaviors challenged or reproduced? What was the media reception of the films like in Swedish newspapers? The material used in the essay are the films Fucking Åmål (
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka sambanden mellan flerspråkiga faktorer och studieresultat i svenska som främmande språk hos vuxna inlärare. Studien fokuserar särskilt på nivå i tidigare inlärt språk och dess relation till resultat i svenska samt sambandet mellan metaspråklig medvetenhet och resultat i svenska. Sambanden som analyseras baseras på data från 75 informanters provresultat. Resul
This study aimed to examine how physicians and registered nurses in primary health care perceive the role, function, and significance of healthcare social workers. A quantitative design was used, with data collected through a web-based questionnaire completed by 87 respondents in Region Skåne. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and interpreted through Andrew Abbott’s theory of pro
Social participation is an important aspect of both the quality of life of individuals and for democratic societies. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that promote or limit different forms of social participation. This is particularly the case with regard to structural inequalities that may restrict the access to opportunities for social participation, suc
In EU migration law scholarship, accounts of crisis and its relation to law flourished in relation to the migrant and refugee arrivals which took place in the in the period of 2015-2016. To offer new insight on the relation of crisis, EU law-making and migration, this chapter focuses on the same topic but from an entirely different angle and time frame. Specifically, this chapter does not look at
This study assesses the potential benefit of Blue-Green Solutions (BGS), green rooftops, rain gardens, permeable pavements, and bioswales, in Lisbon, Portugal. These proposed mitigation measures are applied using TFM-DYN (Nilsson et al., 2021) to simulate potential fluvial flooding distributions from a 10- and 50-year rain event.Water depth of over 30 centimeters can cause damage to infrastructure
This chapter tackles the myth that simply providing more information to consumers will lead to sustainable behaviour. It stems from the rational choice model in economics, which posits that well-informed consumers will make better choices. Over time, this belief has led to an over-reliance on information-based tools such as ecolabels, certification schemes and awareness campaigns. However, this ch
Tourism must undergo a fundamental transformation if it is to align with climate targets. However, strategies in the sector have mainly prioritised eco-efficiency over more radical approaches. This paper brings the concept of sufficiency into tourism research – understood here as sustainability strategies that seek to reduce overall resource use and demand within ecological and social boundaries.
Is the future of digitalisation autonomous machines, or will humans retain a critical role? If we want to maintain the ability of the system to adapt before, during and afterevents, we need to take advantage of the strengths of people and technology as a human-machine system, say Rogier Woltjer and Tom Laursen.KEY POINTSƒ Recognising the interaction and interdependence between humans and technolog
The purpose of this catalogue is to provide a structured and detailed overview of how digital work environment considerations are expressed in procurement practice. It is intended both as a standalone reference document and as supplementary material to the research publications derived from this study.Digital systems are a central part of modern health and social care work. The requirements specif
We present the first cryogenic characterization of read noise in 14 nm CMOS compatible analog resistive RAMs (ReRAMs) and evaluate the efficiency of analog in-memory (AIM) neural network (NN) training at 77 K using the optimized Tiki-Taka algorithm (TTv2). Compared to standard room temperature operation, cryogenic operation suppresses the read noise by an exceptional 88% and improves the analog dy
This paper presents a testability analysis and improvement technique for the controller of an RT level design. It detects hard-to-reach states by analyzing both the data path and the controller of a design. The controller is modified using register initialization, branch control, and loop termination methods to enhance its state reachability. This technique complements the data path scan method an
Modular multiplication (MM) is the main operation in cryptography algorithms such as elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) and Rivest–Shamir–Adleman, where repeated MM is used to perform elliptic curve point multiplication and modular exponentiation, respectively. The algorithm for the proposed architecture is derived from the Chinese remainder theorem and performs MM completely within a residue numbe
Systolic arrays (SAs) for matrix multiplication are commonly used in machine learning (ML), wireless communication, and signal processing. Inherently offering high throughput with good data reuse, they are well-positioned for both low-power edge devices and accelerator applications in high-performance computing. Current realizations suffer from startup latency, defined as the time required to full
In this paper, a revisit to the topic of electromagnetic scattering by a randomly oriented obstacle is made. The focus is on a general polarization state of the incident field. Specifically, the left and right circular polarizations are treated. We derive the analytic expressions of the scattering observables, such as the orientational averages of the extinction and scattering cross sections as we
