Swedish architectural modernism is intimately tied to thedevelopment of the welfare state, where the roles and work ofarchitects largely followed governmental building policies. Thepolitical and economical crisis of the late 1960s and 1970swas particularly devastating for Swedish architecture as theshortcomings of the welfare state were partly blamed on thearchitecture profession. This paper is a
This article seeks to develop an understanding of how corporations manage their social and ethical responsibilities, whilst simultaneously facing allegations of crime. It draws on the case of TeliaSonera, a Swedish corporation prosecuted for committing bribery in Uzbekistan. The article begins by introducing the reader to this so-called ‘Uzbek affair’, before exploring how corporate governance has
This thesis presents an incremental Structure-from-Motion pipeline through the use of affine transformations of monocular depth priors. The scene points are triangulated by averaging lifted covisible keypoints utilizing the calculated transformations. Each new image is registered to the reconstruction by first estimating the camera pose, then aligning the depth prior to the observed 3D points. We
The automation of floor plan interpretation and reconstruction is a key challenge in architectural visualization workflows, particularly when handling heterogeneous, real world data. This thesis project investigates the use of deep learning–based semantic segmentation combined with geometry-aware postprocessing to automate the extraction of structural elements from floor plan images. The work is m
This study investigates the interaction problem between a differentialdrive mobile manipulator and one-degree-of-freedom (1-DoF) mechanisms. While previous research has focused on stationary robotic platforms, this work puts emphasis on mobile interaction. Building upon a previously proposed adaptive control strategy for fixed-base manipulators, a holistic control framework is developed to coordin
On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) missions are central to reducing space debris, and their success depends on accurate pose estimation of non-cooperative satellites. Existing state-of-the-art tracking frameworks, such as the Multi-Modal Model-based Tracker (M3T), rely on color histograms and therefore degrade significantly when constrained to grayscale input, which is the standard in space. This thesis inv
This architectural thesis investigates a general system for a sustainable tourism-related built environment in the Swedish mountains. With a growing interest in hiking and nature-based tourism, the Swedish mountain landscape has become an increasingly popular destination, while at the same time serving as important grazing land for reindeer. This calls for careful development and reduced environme
Improving the efficiency of combustion engines is crucial from an environmental perspective, serving as a complement to the transition towards the electrification of transportation. To optimize combustion efficiency, the amount of air in the cylinders needs to be estimated, which today is done by gray box-models based on traditional physics. This thesis examines the possibility of complementing th
This thesis investigates human–robot co-manipulation in which a mobile manipulator assists a person in handling and maneuvering a jointly held object. A cooperative control strategy is developed that enables the robot to guide its motion by the human forces transmitted through a jointly held object. In this framework, the mobile base provides the primary movement while the manipulator maintains ob
Reliable six-degree-of-freedom pose estimation is a key requirement for autonomous on-orbit servicing (OOS), in which a robotic spacecraft performs tasks such as inspection, maintenance, and life extension of other satellites in orbit. However, generating trustworthy ground truth for algorithm development remains challenging. This thesis investigates calibration, sensor evaluation, and sensor fusi
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to global health, with limited surveillance data available from western sub-Saharan Africa. After reports of high rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) in bloodstream infections at The Gambia’s sole tertiary hospital, we present follow-up data after enhancements in microbiology cap
Spindle cell lipomas (SCL) and pleomorphic lipomas (PL) are today considered a single tumor entity (SCLPL). Atypical SCLPL, in contrast, represents a recently recognized related but distinct entity. Here we explored the correlation between genomic features and morphological aspects of SCLPL and atypical SCLPL and the role of the RB1 gene in tumor development. Seventy-one samples from 68 patients w
