Architecture, as a discipline, is often understood as what is yet to be built. This thesis shifts attention to what is already lived. The Digital Living Room studies the domestic interior as a site of architectural knowledge. Through interviews, photography, and LiDAR scanning, four living rooms in Southern Sweden are documented as they were found: occupied, accumulated, and shaped by the habits a
This research examines the consequences of disciplinary time, for the workers at Foxconn in China, based on the monograph “Dying for an iPhone” and poetry by former Foxconn worker Xu Lizhi. Grounded in Fouacauldin disciplinary theory, this research will exhibit what the apparatus of discipline looks like at Foxconn. It will focus on how physical and mental pain occurs when capitalism uses time as
In power electronics, wide-bandgap materials such as GaN are used in diodes due to their ability to handle high currents and voltages. Metal contacts on p-doped GaN have difficulty obtaining low specific contact resistivity and the behaviour of an ohmic contact. In this report, different parameters were changed in the process to optimise the device. The parameters changed were the photoresist deve
I dagens moderna konsumtionssamhälle har digitala betaltjänster och lättillgängliga krediter normaliserat skuld och förändrat individers konsumtionsmönster. Detta arbete undersöker kvinnors upplevelser av skuldsättning, med ett särskilt fokus på hur skulder påverkar individens identitet och självbild. Studien belyser hur kvinnor beskriver och hanterar de känslomässiga och sociala konsekvenser som
Verifiering av tekniska egenskaper inför återbruk av prefabricerade massiva betongbjälklag är en komplex process som kräver projektspecifika bedömningar. I detta arbete har ett tillvägagångssätt tagits fram för ett mer generellt fall i hopp om att kunna appliceras på en större brädd av olika projekt, under premissen att det anpassas efter projektsspecifika förutsättningar. Tillvägagångssättet har The verification of technical properties associated with the reuse of prefabricated solid concrete floor slabs is a complex process that must be assessed on a project-specific basis. In this thesis an approach has been developed for a more general case, with the intention that it may be applied across a broader range of projects, provided that it is adapted to project-specific conditions. The appr
Co-production, as a mechanism with collaborative and voluntary nature within the service-oriented logic framework, presents different characteristics in the event of system collapse. When the service infrastructure fails, if the authorities withdraw from the frontline, leaving a gap that disrupts the normal contracts of services. This study focuses on the winter disruption at Schiphol Airport in A
Surface electromyography or sEMG is universally used as a control signal in myoelectric prosthetic hands, where muscle activation patterns are utilized to interpret the user's intended movements. However, sEMG recording quality is strongly affected by electrode-skin interface, electrode configuration and even external factors such as limb position. Traditional rigid electrode setup with limite
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014, the EU and NATO have strengthened resilience, preparedness, and critical infrastructure policies in response to evolving transboundary threats. However, cascading climate risks, defined as cross-border and cross-sectoral impacts intensified by climate change, have the potential to be insufficiently understood and integrated into EU and NATO frameworks

Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are expected to become an important component of future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems by extending broadband coverage to remote, maritime, aerial, and underserved areas. Among different NTN platforms, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are particularly attractive due to their lower propagation delay compared with geostationary systems. However,
Dagvatten kan transportera föroreningar till recipienter, vilka kan vara skadliga för både djur, natur och människor. Dessa föroreningar inkluderar bland annat metaller och näringsämnen. En betydande källa till tungmetaller är vägtrafikrelaterad, då bland annat slitage från bromsar och däck samt galvaniserade metallstrukturer ger upphov till föroreningar. Föroreningar med fraktioner som är min
This thesis investigates the quantum dynamics of a three-level laser system described by the Scovil and Schulz--DuBois model with emphasis on the emergence of classical laser behaviour. In particular we study the time evolution from an initially coherent quantum field. We compare closed Jaynes--Cummings dynamics with open Lindblad dissipator dynamics including hot and cold Markovian reservoirs, wh
Den svenska marknaden för abonnemangsbaserade streamingtjänster (SVOD) har under de senaste åren präglats av ökad konkurrens och ett växande antal aktörer. I takt med att streamingtjänster blivit en central del av det svenska medielandskapet har förståelsen för varför användare stannar kvar hos specifika tjänster blivit allt viktigare, särskilt eftersom affärsmodellen bygger på långsiktig kundrete
Global plastic production exceeds 400 million tons annually, with polyolefins accounting for nearly half. Their highly stable hydrocarbon backbone makes them highly resistant to degradation, leading to environmental accumulation and significant contributions to plastic pollution. Conventional recycling methods are insufficient to address these challenges, highlighting the need for more sustainable
The most prevalent method of peptide production, solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), generates large amounts of hazardous solvent waste, typically DMF. This waste, combined with the use of the insidious PFAS chemical TFA for side chain PG removal and final resin cleavage, has prompted research into PFAS-free and aqueous solid-phase peptide synthesis (ASPPS) of linear peptides. With the growth of
The purpose of this study is to develop an in-depth understanding of middle managers’ sensemaking processes during planned organizational change by examining their use of metaphors, and to analyze how these metaphors influence their role in between strategic intent and organizational practice. Adhering to the interpretive research tradition, the study follows an abductive, qualitative single-case
In the collective model of the atomic nucleus, oscillations in the quadrupole deformation naturally arise; a type of these dynamic shape fluctuations are known as γ-vibrations. However, features attributed to these vibrational modes may instead arise from static triaxiality through configuration mixing. This thesis explores a possible way to avoid this ambiguity. Whilst single phonon γ-vibrations
In the current day, some medical instruments rely on older authentication methods for staff and service workers which are outdated and pose a security risk. This project aims to increase security measures to protect sensitive data as well as impose stronger authentication protocols. To create the architecture necessary, an analysis is made. The analysis covers potential threats to the system as we
Hybridarbete har blivit en alltmer etablerad arbetsform i arbetslivet och kan innebära ökad flexibilitet och autonomi. Samtidigt kan arbetsformen bidra till att gränsen mellan arbete och privatliv blir mer otydlig, särskilt när arbetet inte längre är bundet till en specifik fysisk arbetsplats. Möjligheten att arbeta på distans kan även bidra till att anställda arbetar trots sjukdom vilket kan påve
Social work involves meeting people in difficult life situations, which can lead to secondary traumatization and affect both well-being and professional practice. Despite previous research, there is limited knowledge about how social workers experience these effects in their daily work and decision-making. The study explores how professionals within social services experience secondary traumatizat
