I takt med urbaniseringen sker omfattande exploatering där stadsdelar byggs på tidigare åkermark. Markavvattningsföretag som finns kvar från de exploaterade åkermarkerna kopplas ofta in i de dagvattenanläggningar som implementeras i samband med exploateringen. Då dimensioneringsskillnader finns mellan markavvattningsföretagen och dagvattensystemen kan det uppstå översvämningar där de möts, särskilUrban development is increasing and occurring on former agricultural land. There, existing agricultural drainage systems are often integrated into newly constructed stormwater networks. However, differences in design capacities between these systems can lead to flooding at their interface, particularly during the winter. Climate change is expected to increase stormwater flow volumes, emphasizing t

This thesis examines how state strategies and transnational lifestyles co-produce identities in Hong Kong and Singapore. Both global city-states share colonial legacies, open economies, and roles as regional hubs, yet differ in nation-building trajectories and governance structures. Drawing on Bourdieu’s habitus and field theory and Jessop’s strategic-relational approach, the study conceptualises

How do young Chinese women use tattooing to navigate the existential challenges of modernity? Understanding these embodied negotiations requires examining tattooing's role as an embodied practice for meaning-making and identity formation. Focusing on the tensions between traditional Chinese values and modern individualism, such corporeal strategies emerge as responses to what Beck termed "

Climate change and increasing urbanization pose significant challenges to our urban environment. Urbanization leads to more impermeable surfaces, which, in combination with more rainfall, put communities at risk of flooding due to combined sewer overflows or overloaded drainage systems. To combat urban flooding, natural systems, also called blue-green solutions, can be implemented to mimic the nat

Urban vegetation and 3D city models are increasingly used strategically in urban development. However, representation of urban vegetation information in 3D city models is often lacking. Currently in Sweden, how urban vegetation should be represented in a future municipal 3D base map is discussed. Focusing on the integration of 3CIM, the Swedish extension of the semantic 3D city model CityGML, and

This thesis focuses on two primary parts: the design of a 10-bit medium high-speed, high-linearity current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and the implementation of a linear analog interpolation technique aimed at suppressing images at the DAC output. Design considerations for the current-steering DAC are discussed comprehensively, and the circuit is designed in 22nm Fully-Depleted Si

This work explores the catalytic activity of decavanadate (V10)-based catalysts in the selective oxidation of ethylbenzene (EB), a model compound of lignin-derived molecules, under mild conditions. The goal is to assess the catalytic efficiency, product selectivity, and the influence of counter-ions on activity through systematic testing of parameters such as temperature and catalyst loading. Addi

Strategic University-Industry Collaborations (UICs) are vital for innovation, yet evaluating their multifaceted outcomes presents a significant challenge. This thesis addresses this gap by investigating performance measurement in UICs through an in-depth case study of the long-standing strategic partnership between Tetra Pak and Lund University. By employing a qualitative methodology, incorporatin

In this bachelor's thesis, I carry out a discourse analysis of the film Pretty Woman (1990), using the bechdeltest, feminist film theory, intersectionality and representation theory. The aim is to demonstrate that the bechdeltest is unfortunately lacking as a tool for measuring gender equality in films. While widely used as a basic indicator of female presence and dialogue, the test fails to a

Solanum tuberosum (Potato) is a cool-season, short-day crop that tuberize effectively at temperatures between 15°C-19°C and at a day length of about 12 hours. These environmental requirements pose a moderate challenge to potato cultivar in different region globally. In Northern Europe, summers are characterized by the prolonged daylight and temperature that frequently exceed 19℃. Such conditions c

Refugee women are particularly at risk of having their sexual and reproductive health and rights compromised due to a high unmet need for contraception. Through fifteen individual interviews in Pagirinya refugee settlement, Northern Uganda, this thesis documents the gendered structures regarding contraceptive usage among South Sudanese refugee women and how they negotiate these structures. The the

My project began with conversations about accessible design. In one discussion, someone mentioned that her mother couldn’t use public seating because it was too low. This made me question why such essential furniture is often inaccessible to those who need it most. Motivated by this, I set out to design a seating solution focusing on universal design principles. I contacted my former Universal Des

The thesis investigates the Tesla strike in Sweden as a sociological case of trade union strength and a test of the Swedish model in the face of transnational corporate power. The central research question is how union strength is manifested in the conflict between IF Metall and Tesla, and how this conflict can be understood in relation to shifting power dynamics between labour and capital in a gl

In this thesis, I examine the ideological foundation of national conservatism in contemporary Europe with a particular focus on the Sweden Democrats’ (SD) ideas in their contemporary discourse. Through a descriptive idea and ideology analysis this thesis analyzes how the party conceptualizes the ideas of Swedish nationality, culture, and migration in official party documents and communications by

Plankorsningar, där väg och järnväg möts i en punkt, utgör en riskfylld del av transportsystemet. Olyckorna vid plankorsningar har lett till allvarliga konsekvenser i Sverige. Där Sveriges långsiktiga mål (Nollvisionen) syftar på att ingen ska dö eller skadas allvarligt i trafiken, vilket omfattar att öka säkerheten vid plankorsningar för att. Syftet med examensarbete har varit att undersöka säker

This thesis aims to critique and move beyond dominant discourses of resilience within LGBTQ+ and trans research. Drawing from decolonial critiques of resilience and trans scholarship, the thesis engages with queer phenomenology and Black radical thought to propose an alternative theoretical framework of fugitive resilience. Grounded in empirical research with trans individuals in a Swedish context

This study examines the impact of newly built parks on housing prices in New York City between 2011 and 2023. The case of New York City is especially interesting due to its high amount of new urban greening projects during the last few decades. Related to the different benefits of urban greening, there is evidence that parks increase the desirability of a neighborhood and thereby raise property va

I takt med att arbetsmarknaden förändras och personalomsättningen ökar, har kraven på träffsäkra, hållbara och strategiska rekryteringsprocesser blivit alltmer centrala för organisationers långsiktiga framgång. Samtidigt har digitalisering och teknologiska framsteg gett upphov till nya verktyg och metoder, såsom AI-baserad screening och automatiserade urvalssystem, vilket har förändrat rekrytering

Denna studie undersöker hur marknadsföring av sportevenemang på lokal och regional nivå organiseras, kommuniceras och upplevs av olika aktörer. Utgångspunkten är att mindre sportevenemang spelar en central roll inom besöksnäringen, men att tidigare forskning främst har fokuserat på internationella och storskaliga evenemang. Därmed finns en kunskapslucka kring de särskilda förutsättningar och utman

This study examines whether formal state authority determines governance zone placement and whether governance zones shift (“zone migration”) across the ANIME stages, Agenda-Setting, Negotiation, Implementation, Monitoring, and Enforcement, in Indonesia’s female domestic worker migration to the GCC. Drawing on qualitative interviews with meso-level actors, it combines the ANIME framework with the
