SafeGrowth is a method in urban planning to prevent crime and promote social cohesion. The method was officially introduced in Toronto, Canada in 2001. Toronto and their application of SafeGrowth sparked global interest and in 2020, Drottninghög in Helsingborg, Sweden, decided to apply the method. They became the first city in Europe to apply SafeGrowth. This study explores the application of Safe

Transformation as an adaptation response can help align risk aversion practices with goals of sustainability and social justice. This lies in its ability to drive deep reaching changes in socio-environmental structures through critically examining and restructuring dominant power structures. This thesis applies Pelling et al’s (2015) transformative adaptation framework to a case-study of a technol

As the European Union advances decarbonization and energy independence, aquathermal energy (AE) offers a promising low-carbon solution for decentralized heating and cooling. Yet, AE uptake remains limited. This thesis investigates how social limitations to adaptation (SLAs) shape AE implementation by applying Adger et al.’s (2008) SLA framework—focusing on ethical considerations, knowledge availab

Sustainable development and sustainable urbanism has been receiving an increasingly influential role in urban development throughout the last decades, and many cities label themselves as ‘green’, ‘smart’, and ‘sustainable’. At the same time municipalities have been experiencing increasing economic pressure due to decentralization processes, which has resulted in them carrying a central role in dev

As issues regarding social security and gang violence have risen, safety has become a central concern, both internationally and in Sweden. Several strategies have been developed to counter the possibility of committing crime by changing the urban design and use of public space, including in socio-economically disadvantaged areas. One approach that has emerged from this is Crime Prevention Through

Växjö municipality in southern Sweden has long promoted itself as a frontrunner inenvironmental and climate policy, aiming to become climate neutral by 2030. As the city-continues to grow, this ambition is increasingly challenged by growing mobility demands and-infrastructure developments. This thesis investigates how Växjö works to achieve sustainable-mobility, and how the large-scale road projec

Soil ecosystems are under pressure from a variety of anthropogenic drivers. Yet, we know surprisingly little about the soil biota, which is believed to be the basis of healthy soils. This thesis explores how Danish agricultural advisors work with soil biota to ensure sustainable soil management.Through qualitative interviews, practices, and challenges in caring for soil biota are revealed, uncover

The Azerbaijani city of Shusha stands out as an exemplary place for reconstruction based on the principles of sustainable development in the post-conflict era. This research examines the city of Shusha’s aim of building a sustainable city model from scratch and focuses on two major directions: the transition to solar-based systems in the city’s energy supply and the establishment of a clean transp

The diffusion equation is a partial differential equation that describes how quantities such as heat, particles, or other diffusive substances spread out over time and space. This type of equation can be, at often times, quite challenging to solve analytically. Finding the exact solution is often difficult due to the com- plexity of the functions involved. This thesis focuses on solving the diffus

This thesis investigates the spatial governance challenges arising from the interaction of two policy fields: nature-based solutions (NbS) and urban densification in Lund, Sweden. The study explores multiple areas of interest, these areas are; (1) how actors collaborate within the planning process, (2) which actors pursue NbS and densification, and (3) what challenges and possibilities that exist

The use of public transport has an important role in today's society, in terms of meeting future climate goals. In order to encourage its increased use and to meet future challenges, the importance of human perspectives has increased. Planning for transport equity involves addressing inequalities, prioritizing the needs of vulnerable groups and working towards inclusive and sustainable mobilit

Peripheral regions experience difficulties competing against core-regions competitiveness. Although studies have proposed that innovation is an aspect peripheral regions could focus on to combat this inequality, many innovation strategies are developed for urban core-regions and are not applicable on peripheral regions to the same extent. Earlier research has shown that peripheral regions benefit

This thesis investigates the structural, social, and spatial factors shaping women’s spatial mobility in Gothenburg, Sweden. Employing a quantitative approach grounded in relational spatial theory, the developed method combines quantitative regression analysis with a case study on two neighbourhoods to examine how gender inequalities, domestic responsibilities, labour force participation, and ethn

In response to growing social injustices in cities, bottom-up initiatives are increasingly recognised as sites of resistance and experimentation. I examine how the PARKS project in Hamburg, a temporary, collectively governed green space, challenges neoliberal urban development and envisions socially just green spaces. Adopting a case study approach, I draw on semi-structured interviews, participan

Given the current societal and political developments in Germany, the visibility and integration of-marginalized is essential to ensure their inclusion in mainstream society. One way of encouraging-contact between majority and marginalized groups is through building social networks, of which-informal and nonformal educational activities play an important part. This thesis examines the-experience o

In this Master’s thesis, we describe two recent methods aimed at constructing complex-valued harmonic morphisms and p-harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds. The main tools for these constructions are the common eigenfunctions of the classical Laplace-Beltrami operator τ and the recently introduced conformality operator κ. We then apply the above methods for constructing solutions on the compa

Inom algebra finns det ett koncept som heter kohomologi. Från början kom det från topologi: till ett rum kan man associera en mängd algebraiska strukturer, nämligen kohomologigrupperna av rummet, som berättar om vissa egenskaper rummet har. Man märkte relativt snabbt att sådana strukturer kunde användas i fler situationer, och på så vis föddes ämnet homologisk algebra. Det man såg var att man kundWe provide an introduction to the basic theory of triangulated categories and t-structures, and cover these in detail with a particular focus on recollements, roughly speaking gluings. Triangulated categories are a convenient setting for developing foundational results in homotopical algebra, and t-structures allow a refinement of this by imposing that objects have a kind of "grading" on

Matematisk logik är läran om matematikens mest fundamentala grunder och en koppling mellan filosofi och matematik. I denna kandidatuppsats utforskas en av de tyngsta satserna inom matematisk logik, \textit{Gödels Fullständighetssats}. Den kända satsen är en koppling mellan sanning och bevisbarhet - två koncept som a priori är vitt skilda. Kort sagt så säger satsen att en formel i predikatlogik är This thesis will be an investigation into different proofs of Completeness in first-order logic. Particular attention will be put on analyzing the role of the Ultrafilter Lemma and its necessity in proving the Completeness Theorem. An attempt will be made to develop a proof that separates out this non-constructive aspect, but still uses the law of excluded middle. The overall aim is to understand

In this chapter, the authors summarize the current knowledge of possible trigger(s) of p-cell autoimmunity and factors affecting the progression to the clinical onset in individuals who have developed one or more p-cell autoantibodies. Testing islet autoantibodies at random or in select populations such as schoolchildren should inform about the epidemiology of autoimmune islet disease and what to

All kommunikation består av signaler. Ljud, bilder, filmer och rörelser och exempel på olika signaler. Signaler har en sändare och en mottagare. Om sändaren har konstruerat signalen på ett bra sätt, blir det lättare för mottagaren att återskapa och förstå sändarens ursprungliga meddelande. Ur ett matematiskt perspektiv är signaler funktioner som beskriver hur en signal förändras i exempelvis tid, This work investigates Shannon’s sampling theorem and Landau’s density theorem for sampling and interpolation for functions in Paley-Wiener spaces, with the main focus on the latter result. We begin by defining Paley-Wiener spaces of bandlimited functions and briefly discuss a proof of the Paley-Wiener theorem for entire functions of exponential type. We then present Shannon’s classical sampling t
