In recent years, sand-based thermal energy storage (TES) has attracted research interest in high temperature energy storage applications due to its low cost, material availability, and more importantly, thermal stability at high temperatures. The present thesis investigates both the discharging and charging sides of the sand battery developed by Solstice Storage. The numerical study was conducte
Tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections remain a major global health challenge due to rising antimicrobial resistance, prolonged treatment regimens, and the complex, poorly permeable structure of the mycobacterial cell envelope. This envelope limits antibiotic penetration and contributes to intrinsic drug tolerance. Bacteriophage-derived lytic enzymes, including Lysin A (LysA) and
Urban form strongly influences sunlight access, a critical factor for well‐being in Nordic cities where low solar altitude and short winter days limit natural light. Despite its importance, solar access is often secondary in planning, as street layouts are typically shaped by topography, traffic, and existing infrastructure. Although analytical tools and historical examples highlight deliberate or
Klimatförändringarna påverkar i allt större utsträckning både samhällen och fastighetsmarknaden. Även i Sverige väntas högre temperaturer och ökad nederbörd leda till större risk för klimatrelaterade skador på fastigheter och infrastruktur. Ett tydligt exempel är översvämningarna i Gävle 2021, som orsakade omfattande ekonomiska konsekvenser för fastighetsägare och försäkringsbolag. Fysiska klimatClimate change is increasingly affecting both societies and the real estate market. In Sweden as well, higher temperatures and increased precipitation are expected to lead to a greater risk of climate-related damage to properties and infrastructure. A clear example is the floods in Gävle in 2021, which caused extensive financial consequences for property owners and insurance companies. Physical c
This essay aims to analyse new roads that have been proposed in Rosengård, Malmö by using Bill Hillier’s configuration theory and by extension space syntax. The way in which the roads are justified, the conflicts that may arise and the way space syntax may be used in planning are analysed and applied by making new road proposals as well as looking at the existing ones. To do this document analysis
This thesis examines how contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems challenge the protection of the right to privacy under international human rights law, particularly Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. It argues that privacy should not be understood only as protection against unlawful access to pe
This master thesis investigates the role of automatic doors within future smart buildings, with a particular focus on how data from doors can create value in the real estate industry. The study aims to understand the current relationship between automatic doors and building systems, identify functional needs and technical requirements, and analyze how ASSA ABLOY can differentiate its offering. The
Degradable dextran microspheres (DDMs) are promising materials with potential applications in drug delivery and medical devices due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and versatile properties. DDMs are produced through a water-in-oil emulsion in which an aqueous dextran solution is dispersed in an organic solvent containing an emulsifier. Addition of a crosslinker, such as epichlorohydrin
Denna uppsats undersöker förutsättningarna för att tillämpa artikel 102 FEUF – särskilt doktrinen om strukturellt missbruk – som ett tillsynsverktyg i efterhand (ex post) för icke-anmälningspliktiga strategiska förvärv på digitala plattformsmarknader. Uppsatsens syfte är att kritiskt utvärdera hur unionsrätten balanserar principen om ändamålsenlig verkan (effet utile) mot transaktionsmarknadens krThis thesis examines the conditions for applying Article 102 TFEU – specifically the doctrine of structural abuse – as an ex post enforcement tool for non-notifiable strategic acquisitions in digital platform markets. The purpose is to critically evaluate how EU law balances the principle of effectiveness (effet utile) against the M&A market's need for legal certainty and predictability.
The aim of the Master’s thesis was to evaluate the performance of two existing extraction nozzles at Nederman, and to use the findings to create a concept for a new nozzle. The purpose of the new nozzle was to be attached to a welding cobot, resulting in a change in requirements and design possibilities. The project followed the product design process as described by Ulrich and Ep- pinger, consist
Studien undersöker hur unga konsumenters attityder och köpintention formas av vetskapen om att reklaminnehåll är skapat av artificiell intelligens (AI) jämfört med reklaminnehåll skapat av människor. Bakgrunden till studien är den växande användningen av generativ AI inom marknadsföring där företag i allt högre grad kan producera marknadsföring snabbare och billigare än tidigare. Samtidigt aktuali
Uppsatsen undersöker hur svenska förvaltningsdomstolar tillämpar OECD:s Transfer Pricing Guidelines (TPG) vid prövningen av korrigeringsregeln i 14 kap. 19 § inkomstskattelagen, samt huruvida denna tillämpning är förenlig med legalitetsprincipens föreskrifts- och bestämdhetskrav. Internprissättning avser prissättningen vid transaktioner mellan närstående företag över nationsgränser. Eftersom marknThis thesis examines how Swedish administrative courts apply the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines (TPG) when adjudicating the correction rule in Chapter 14, Section 19 of Inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229), and whether this application is compatible with the principle of legality's requirements of statutory authority and legal certainty. The arm's length principle requires that terms between r
In heavy industrial environments such as steel manufacturing plants, workers interact closely with moving machinery under conditions of limited visibility and high noise. A recent World Steel Association report attributes roughly half of industry fatalities to causes with a strong attentional component, motivating research into augmented-reality (AR) cues that direct workers' attention to haza
In multi-view sports broadcasting, extracting high-quality highlights and selecting the optimal camera angle from concurrent video streams is traditionally a labor-intensive process with significant computational overhead. This thesis explores the feasibility of automating the production of multi-view sports highlights using Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). To manage the high computatio
Uppsatsen behandlar CISG:s tillämplighet vid internationella kommersiella varuköp med svensk anknytning samt förutsättningarna för att utesluta konventionen enligt artikel 6. Särskilt fokus ligger på hur lagvalsklausuler, standardvillkor samt andra avtalsformuleringar ska bedömas när det är oklart om parterna faktiskt har avsett att sätta CISG åt sidan. Syftet är att undersöka under vilka förutsät
Oats are common ingredients in many food products. They are valued for their nutritional composition and functional properties. At the same time, oat-based products can develop off-flavours during processing. Lipid oxidation is one important cause of this problem. Aldehydes such as hexanal and nonanal are especially relevant because they can give rancid, grassy, and stale notes. In this project, s
The Gaia space observatory has produced astrometric measurements of extraordinary precision, enabling detection of exoplanets through the reflex motion of their host stars. With Gaia Data Release 4 (DR4) scheduled for December 2026, which will include full epoch astrometry, methods for orbital parameter recovery are needed. This work presents a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) framework fo
Abstract Introduction: Pneumatic tube system transportation produces particles in protein-based drugs. Background: Different methods have been used to simulate the conditions of pneumatic tube system transportation, and have shown clear correlations to particle formation. Aim(s): The aim of this work is to determine how particle formation and particle size in silicone-free and silicone oil syri
Solar drying technologies give smallholder farmers in low- to middle-income countries (LMIC) a low-cost way to reduce post-harvest losses and add value to agricultural produce. Yet bringing solar-dried products to market remains poorly understood, particularly in fragmented food systems where structural conditions shape market entry in ways that standard frameworks do not account for.
