Intersections have long been recognized as high-risk areas for traffic accidents, with vehicle collisions in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) scenarios resulting in significant economic and human losses. This thesis investigates a vehicle collision avoidance system that integrates Machine Learning (ML), wireless communication technologies, and sensor fusion with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) p
The beginning of the 21st century marked a time in which the economic and environmental landscape in China was changing very rapidly. The manufacturing industry was facing up to rising factor costs, the rise of profit-oriented private enterprises was eminent, and the pro-growth strategy of the economy was causing increasing environmental degradation. In particular, China was fast becoming the larg
In the rapidly evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal tool reshaping how founders navigate uncertainty and allocate resources. Grounded in Sarasvathy’s dual logics of causation (predictive, goal-oriented planning) and effectuation (adaptive, resource-driven experimentation), this study investigates whether AI reinforces entrepreneurs’ default
This thesis investigates the weaponisation of healthcare in Ukraine during the ongoing conflict, analysing how deliberate attacks on medical infrastructure are not just violations of humanitarian law but systemic assaults on development, governance, and human security. Framed through a three-stage model: Disruption, Destabilisation, and Reconstruction, the study draws on Amartya Sen’s Development
The global industrial sector is a highly polluting and greenhouse gas-emitting sector. As industries increasingly explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation, questions emerge regarding its alignment with sustainability objectives. While AI is often positioned as a key enabler of digital transformation, its sustainable integration into industrial ope
This thesis explores how Chinese students in Sweden navigate and reconfigure the practice of eating together in transnational and digital contexts. Drawing on the theoretical framework of commensality, community, and conviviality, it examines how students sustain shared eating practices amidst cultural differences, spatial constraints, and technological mediation. Through qualitative methods inclu
Adopting a postcolonial theoretical framework, drawing specifically on the concepts of imagined geographies and subaltern nationalism, this thesis explores the motivations behind pro-Palestinian activism among the post-accord generation in Northern Ireland since the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict beginning on October 7, 2023. Based on in-depth interviews, field observations and onl
This thesis critically examines how corporate stakeholders frame the social impacts of the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project (LTWP) in Kenya. By scrutinising how social impacts are framed, this thesis sets out to analyse how discursive strategies can shape justice outcomes of renewable energy projects. By doing so, contribute to the current academic discourse on energy justice of renewable energy pr
Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ
This thesis has researched how analytical tools can be used to assist in balancing supply and demand at the global telecommunications company Ericsson. The project stems from a need to manage demand uncertainty in Sales and Operations Planning in order to make scenario analysis both standardized and data-driven. Consequently, the purpose was to develop a practical scenario planning framework and t
This report studies fatigue in welded steel structures of a conveyor belt using the finite element method (FEM) together with hand calculations based on nominal stress. Three methods were used to evaluate stress at critical locations, the nominal stress method, the hot-spot method, and the effective notch stress method. Detailed FEM models were created where weld geometry and critical stress conce
Global manufacturing companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex environments where changes in sourcing strategies, supplier structures and logistics networks create significant challenges for decision- making. Traditional analytical methods often struggle to capture the dynamic and interconnected nature of modern supply chains, limiting their ability to support proactive evaluation
In today’s largely market-based global economy, financial markets such as stock and bond markets play an increasingly important role. As a result, an understanding of the workings of the modern market economy almost certainly requires knowledge of the basic functions of financial markets.Finance – Markets, Instruments & Investments provides a comprehensive yet relatively short and non-technica
OBJECTIVE: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are chronic, relapsing inflammatory diseases, yet reliable biomarkers for detecting relapse and organ involvement remain limited. This study aimed to identify plasma protein biomarkers that distinguish active disease from remission and to explore markers associated with lung and kidney involvement.METHODS: Plasma
South Koreans today take a remarkably liberal attitude towards plastic surgery, as the highest per capita consumers of plastic surgery in the world. This rise in surgery has accompanied dramatic change in the Korean attitude towards the body and advanced a new attitude, one that was rare as recent as in 1990. Moreover, this contradicts the long held Confucian attitude towards the body. Originating
El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have a great impact on global climate, often with disas-trous effects in many parts of the world. The carbonate skeleton of corals record El Niño activity by tracing sea surface temperature and salinity in the oceans where they grow. As El Niño’s core region is the equatorial Pacific Ocean, this is where the most direct consequences of ENSO are seen, com
