This thesis presents the development of a computer vision based robotic system for flexible sample switching at the European Spallation Source (ESS). At ESS, samples will be placed in the neutron beam by the instruments. These environments will be exposed to radiation, making direct access to the samples difficult for personnel. To maximize scientific output, it is also desirable to minimize the d

In the time of an increasing climate crisis, governments are faced with finding feasible solutions to environmental challenges. One such solution is the shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable also known as green technologies – a green transition. Renewable technologies demand vast amounts of minerals for their production which cannot be met by land mining alone. As a response to this incre

Sjösås nya kyrka stod färdig 1865: mitt i socknen, mitt i människors vardagsliv. En nyklassicistisk kyrka, byggd under en tid då den svenska landsbygden fortfarande ökade sin befolkning. Tiderna förändrades och människor lämnade landsbygden för staden. Kvar stod kyrkan, byggd för 400 besökare. De sista åren användes den i snitt åtta gånger per år. Efter en brand 2022 står endast murväggarna efter Sjösås nya kyrka was finished 1865: in the centre of the parish, in the centre of people’s daily life. A neoclassical church, built during a period when the Swedish countryside still had an increasing population. Times changed, people left the countryside for the city. The church remained, built for 400 visitors. The past years it has been used approximately eight times per year. After a fire 2022

Under senare år har PFAS väckt allt större uppmärksamhet både i traditionell media och ur ett skadeståndsrättsligt perspektiv. PFAS är en förkortning för poly- och per fluorerade alkylsubstanser och är ett samlingsnamn för mer än 10 000 hittills identifierade ämnen. De är syntetiskt tillverkade kemikalier som är skadliga för både människa och natur. För mer än 10 år sedan uppdagades det att BranteIn recent years, PFAS have attracted increasing attention both in the traditional media and from a tort law perspective. PFAS is an acronym for poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances and is a collective name for more than 10 000 substances identified so far. They are synthetically produced chemicals that are harmful to both humans and nature. More than 10 years ago, it was discovered that the B

Immigrants’ means of making home have arisen as an important locus of study amidst the ever-present cycles of migration coloring our world. This work takes a homemaking lens to address the home gardening practices and related environmental interactions of Polish immigrants in the Chicago area. It mixes oral history, ethnographic garden walks, as well as the arts-based research methods of autobiogr

Capitalism drives the economy, environment and social reproduction into crises of exploitation and dualisms between and within people. Money as the medium constituting social relations embodies relations of exploitation and marginalisation. Analysing the relation of feminist leadership organisations as workplaces to their values, goals and missions reveals their contestation of the capitalist logi

The COVID-19 crisis introduced telecommuting and distance schooling into households all around the world. When national authorities enforced mitigation measures, they not only limited the spread of the disease, but also altered the lifestyle of many people. The joint effect of millions of people adapting to the new reality gave rise to an altered residential energy consumption pattern. Knowledge a

Sweden’s old-growth forests are disappearing due to the ever-increasing demand for timber. To protect them from logging, a specific articulation of environmental activism has gained momentum in recent years: biodiversity inventorying. Citizens (inventoryers) visit forests registered for logging to look for endangered species and turn their observation data into a powerful weapon of nature conserva

This thesis explores the interaction between conceptions of the right of self-defense in the legally unsettled contexts of cyber armed attacks and non-state actors on foreign territory, examining their respective operational complexities individually and synergistically. Utilizing a legal positivist methodology, the thesis highlights how interpretations of the ratione conditionis of the lawful exe

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en fördjupad kunskap om chefers upplevda arbetsbelastning och egen motivation, genom att undersöka relationen mellan deras motivation och påfrestande arbetsmiljö. Samt om kombinationen av teorin Self-Determination Theory och modellen Job Characteristic Model är möjlig att applicera i detta sammanhang. Frågeställning: På vilket sätt upplever chefer sin

This thesis investigates the self-assembly dynamics and structural characteristics of cesium lead bromide (C sPbBr3) nanocrystals (NCs) into mesocrystals (MCs) using in situ Small- and Wide-angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) techniques. Central to this study is the exploration of the temporal evolution of mesocrystal formation and the associated superlattice peak-split due to the alignment of ide

The age of the center of our galaxy is poorly known. Determining the ages of individual stars in the galactic center usually requires isochrone fitting on a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram, which in turn requires knowledge of the star’s fundamental parameters, such as surface gravity, which is often determined with spectroscopic methods; and metallicity, which affects the shape of the isochrone. This c

This thesis explores the relationship between French restrictive policies on the hijab and burqa and their impact on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Muslim women. It likely delves into the historical context of these policies, analyses the legality and implications of such restrictions, and considers the broader sociocultural and political factors at play. It further examines the inte

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a special class of porous materials highly relevant for their wide range of applications in drug delivery, catalysis, gas sensing and transport, and electrochemical storage devices. Due to their unparalleled flexibility in design and highly tunable parameters, over 90,000 MOFs have been synthesized. Iron-based MOFs in particular are of special interest due to th

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to critically evaluate posts/comments collected from social media on AI auditing to analyze how auditors perceive the application of AI in the auditing industry currently. Methodology: We did qualitative research using content analysis to conduct our research. We scraped posts/comments from Reddit, Quora, and Weibo for information collection purposes. We used

Syftet med denna studie är att genom etnografisk observation och intervjutillfällen, anlägga ett nytt perspektiv på ämnet “speech style shift” och därigenom även få en bättre bild av till vilken utsträckning en individs språkanvändning varierar i olika situationer. Samt hur detta upplevs från aktörens sida. Detta är en fråga som tidigare tacklats inom sociolingvistiken, men jag har här önskat anlä

The modern food packaging industry faces significant challenges due to its heavy reliance on virgin materials, contributing to increased litter and waste. This thesis explores the environmental impacts of using virgin materials in food packaging, with a particular focus on carbonated beverages. It examines the unique sustainability challenges associated with different packaging materials, includin

This thesis explores the anti-media populist discourse of the current Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, with which he harshly targets Slovak mainstream media to delegitimize them and their critical reporting. This practice, which Fico has been engaging in for many years, was originally considered problematic mainly due to its potentially detrimental consequences for trust in the media among many
