Inadequate physical activity constitutes one of today's most significant public health challenges in Sweden and is associated with several physical and mental health risks. At the same time, there is growing evidence that highlights how the built environment shapes opportunities for everyday physical activity. Physical planning can therefore work as an important tool to promote public health.

This study investigates patterns of set fires and vandalism in Malmö. An aim to understand spatial, temporal, and social patterns of such phenomena underpins the study. The research questions are: “How are vandalism and set fires distributed geographically in Malmö?”, “How does the geographical distribution of crimes correlate with school holidays and vacation?” and “To what extent does socioecono

In recent years, the future of Bromma Airport in Stockholm has become a recurring and contested issue in Swedish public debate, shaped by shifting political priorities, climate ambitions and urban development needs. This thesis examines how Bromma Airport is problematized in Swedish public documents, which competing actors and discourses can be identified and how are arguments for and against clos

Public transport is essential for closing the gap between different geographical locations. The equal distribution of opportunities to travel is fundamental in both Edward Soja’s theory of spatial justice and Karel Martens’ theory of transport justice. Access to modes of transport may vary according to the socioeconomic status of the area, creating differences in transport opportunities based on l

This paper strives to compare the compact city model against modernist planning in relation to urban green spaces. When comparing two ideals that value green spaces, (i) is it possible to find differences within the green space’s quality between modernist planning and contemporary compact city planning, in correlation to human well-being? Furthermore, (ii) how can these differences further our und

Urban development today is known for being too dense and repetitive based on architecture relying on private actors and economic rationalities. Recent research in the field of planning theory explains the importance of looking at land ownership as well as property to understand urban development. The purpose of this work is to justify how the build environment is affected by different land ownersh

Almost a fifth of Sweden's current housing was built in a project called “miljonprogrammet”,which translates into “the million programme”. The morphology for these neighborhoods is acombination of high density and large recreational spaces, where the built intensity is balancedby generous open areas. Since the turn of the latest century, densification of already claimed landhas been framed and

This study examines energy poverty in the context of Skåne, with the aim of (1) investigating which indicators are used to identify energy poverty, (2) applying these indicators across municipalities to determine which ones appear to be most and least vulnerable to energy poverty. Finally, (3) to examine how municipalities perceive and characterize energy poverty and its indicators in a local cont

This thesis examines how extreme heat is understood and managed within the urban planning context of Malmö, Sweden. As climate change intensifies, heatwaves are becoming more frequent and severe, while urban heat island effects further increase temperatures in densely built environments. Despite growing health risks associated with extreme heat, the issue remains relatively underexplored in Sweden

The aim of this study has been to explore which driving forces and hindrances shape the development of solar energy in the Swedish region of Scania, but also how the development of solar energy has changed the energy system in Scania. This has been undertaken through a thematic analysis grounded in a socio-technical perspective. The thematic analysis has been applied to documents that contained st

Digitalisering och sociala medier har förändrat hur konsumenter rör sig genom kundresan. Plattformar som TikTok har bidragit till en mer komplex och icke-linjär kundresa där inspiration, informationssökning, interaktion och konsumtion sker parallellt. Samtidigt har användargenererat innehåll fått ökad betydelse för hur konsumenter värderar information och fattar köpbeslut. Mot denna bakgrund under

I de centrala delarna av södra Sverige finns ett tektoniskt gränsområde som traditionellt sett har kallats Protoginzonen. Det har agerat som gränsen mellan bergarter vilka undkommit svekonorvegisk deformation och metamorfos i öster, och bergarter som upplevt den svekonorvegiska bergskedjebildningen till väster. Norr om Vänern kallas detta gränsområde numera Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone South-central Sweden hosts a tectonic boundary region which traditionally has been called the Protogine Zone. It acts as the boundary between rocks which have escaped Sveconorwegian deformation and metamorphism to the east, and rocks affected by the Sveconorwegian orogeny to the west. North of lake Vänern, the boundary zone is nowadays referred to as the Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone. Th

This thesis examines whether the transfer of a company containing accumulated retained earnings to a shareholder benefiting from a more favourable dividend tax regime can constitute a form of structural dividend stripping under EU law. Unlike traditional dividend stripping arrangements, such as cum-ex and cum-cum transactions, these structures rely on intra-group corporate restructurings through w

Wildfire observations are increasingly important as changing wildfire regimes globally affect societies and ecosystems. Wildfire behaviour, comprising the way that wildfires spread through the landscape, connects wildfire to its physical controls and has been shown to predict other wildfire characteristics. However, observations of wildfire behaviour are limited due to the spatial and temporal res

The search for the dark matter (DM) particle has recently found itself at the forefront of physics research. Numerous experiments designed to capture the invisible particle have contributed to constraining its possible energy range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) aims to delve into the yet unexplored sub-GeV region, searching for “light” DM (LDM). The experiment is designed to infer LDM p

Seaweed has the ability to accumulate elements from the surrounding water, such as radionuclides and heavy metals. This makes them into useful bioindicators; suitable for assessing the pollution in the marine environment as well as the effect of potential future additions of heavy metals and radionuclides. Seaweed content has been examined in many studies, and over long time periods. However, th

Yellow peas possess an excellent nutritional profile with a high protein content and fermentation, enhancing the flour's functional and physicochemical properties. This study evaluated the impact of Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) with Rhizopus delemar (formerly known as Rhizopus oryzae) and Submerged State (SmF) with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on yellow pea flour, alongside its application

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how working conditions at Swedish government archives affect archivists' possibilities to comply with the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act, the Freedom of the Press Act and the Archives Act, how working conditions affect archivists' discretion in relation to these legislations, as well as how archivists prioritize in their work duties. F

“What happens to everything you excavate?” is a question most archaeologists will be asked. The answer, generally, is “Storage in museum collections”. Archaeological excavations, commercial, academic and otherwise, generate vast quantities of finds. Almost all are stored as collections, or object archives, maintained by museums. An additional answer might also be “Not enough”: despite the size and

The second wave women’s movement in the 1970s was global and many organized for better healthcare, against the exploitation of women’s bodies and for women’s liberation. In Sweden the largest and most visible group within the second wave women’s movement was Grupp 8. They existed in several cities and places in the country and out of all the local groups within Grupp 8, nine were donated to differ
