This thesis investigates how the disinfection system in a medical bathtub can be im- proved with both performance and usability in mind. The current system has oppor- tunities for improvement regarding disinfectant concentration stability, sensitivity to inlet pressure variations, and the adjustment process for caregivers. Addressing these areas reduces the risk of incorrect dosing, unnecessary wa
Digitala D2C-företag i traditionellt fysiska branscher kan etablera en tydlig nisch, men möter nya utmaningar när affärsmodellen ska skalas till fler kundsegment. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur ett svenskt digitalt D2C-företag inom målarfärgsbranschen kan vidareutveckla en validerad, nischad och digital affärsmodell för att nå nya kundsegment på den svenska marknaden. Studien genomförs som enDigital D2C companies in traditionally physical retail can establish a clear niche, but face new challenges when the business model is scaled to broader customer segments. This thesis explores how a Swedish company in the paint industry can further develop a validated, niche-oriented, and digital business model to reach new customer segments in the Swedish market. The study is conducted as a case
Around the world, hard-won feminist progress is facing an organised and severe backlash. This thesis examines how formal feminist organisations in Kenya construct, defend, and sustain gender-justice narratives on Facebook amid a challenging "post-truth" digital landscape. Drawing on Nancy Fraser’s theory of subaltern counterpublics and employing digital ethnography, the study investigate
Hadfield steel is widely used in heavy-duty applications involving high impact loads and abrasive wear, such as mining and stone crushing equipment, due to its high toughness, ductility, and work-hardening ability. However, the as-cast microstructure contains carbide precipitation and chemical segregation, particularly along grain boundaries, which causes embrittlement and reduce service performan
Denna studie undersökte vilka positiva upplevelser plurisexuella män har på grund av sin sexuella identitet. Då tidigare forskning saknas på ämnet genomfördes en explorativ kvalitativ multimetod-studie utifrån en kritiskt realistisk ansats. Studien genomfördes med data från både kvalitativa enkäter och semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserades med en integrerande reflexiv tematisk analys. DataThis study explored the positive experiences of plurisexual men, connected to their sexual identity. An exploratory qualitative multi method study with critical realistic epistemology was conducted as the topic was previously not well covered in research. The study used qualitative data from two sources: a qualitative survey and semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed with integrative re
As the energy sector transitions towards more sustainable forms of energy production, classical Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) increasingly struggles with the bottle- necks of simulating high complexity turbulent flows. While quantum computing (QC) theoretically offers an exponential speedup for large-scale linear systems, current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware lacks the erro
Syfte & mål: Syftet med examensarbetet är att analysera hur riskhantering implementeras i anbudsprocessen för byggprojekt samt att identifiera faktorer som bidrar till kostnadsskillnader mellan anbudskalkyl och slutkostnad. Målet är att identifiera vilka faktorer som skapar störst osäkerhet i anbudskalkyler och hur dessa risker kan identifieras och hanteras för att minska avvikelser mellan anb
This thesis examines how female entrepreneurs in China’s cultural and creative industries construct and negotiate entrepreneurial legitimacy through narrative practices and identity work. Drawing on thirteen semi-structured interviews and eleven publicly available podcast accounts, covering twenty-four entrepreneurs in total, the study combines narrative analysis and discourse analysis to examine
Understanding how drivers perceive and respond to traffic hazards is critical for designing safer road systems and human-centred autonomous vehicles. This study investigates hazard perception and driver behaviour in virtual reality (VR) driving environments through a multimodal approach. A VR simulation was developed using Unreal Engine and a Meta Quest Pro headset with integrated eye tracking, en
Industrial pasteurisation is a heat-intensive process with significant potential for decarbonisation. This study investigates how open-source Modelica libraries can be adapted for industry, especially for food industry, and integrated to replace fossil-based thermal systems. Investigations are done to evaluate models of heat pumps, thermal energy storage, specifically the stratified tank, and sol
The design process of buildings has historically treated mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) Systems, particularly Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) as an afterthought which leads to compromised spatial qualities inefficient routing systems. This systemic marginalisation of environmental engineering withing architectural discourse has traditionally prioritised the visual form of
This thesis examines how Danish health and welfare authorities framed women in Greenland's (Kalaallit women’s) reproduction as a social problem requiring intervention between 1950 and 1975. Through a socio-legal analysis of 104 pages of archival documents from the Danish National Archives, the study traces the administrative logics that constructed Kalaallit fertility as a governable risk, the
This thesis examines how young people form generational identity under conditions of platformised fragmentation. Classic theories of collective memory and generational identity assume that young people grow up within a shared cultural environment. Yet, contemporary media systems are increasingly personalised, algorithmically curated, and unevenly distributed. This study aims to understand how youn
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the European Union constructs and articulates peace within its official discourse in relation to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2014, 2021 and 2025. The European Union has long presented peace as a central part of its political identity, values and external role. However, political actors, such as the European Union, frequently invoke peace
Across the EU, wildfires are becoming an increasingly devastating threat, placing growing pressure on investment in prevention. This thesis examines whether the greening of EU investment fund regulations governing the European Regional Development Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development between the 2014-2020 and 2021-2027 programming periods has produced a regulatory architec
This thesis aims to examine, explore, and analyze the implications and consequences of the current Trump administration’s development of and conduct in the “war on drugs” on international law as well as the international community. To achieve this, I work under the theoretical frameworks of “law in context” and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). Through a mixed methodology, which
Post-festival residual inventory is a recurring challenge for small independent retailers, especially when products are tied to specific festivals, gifting occasions or seasonal selling windows. Existing research has examined markdown pricing, product deletion, and reverse logistics primarily in large retail chains or formal supply-chain systems, while paying less attention to how small independen
