This study examines how customary and statutory land governance systems intersect in shaping land governance outcomes in post-conflict Liberia, with specific focus on Gbarnga City, Bong County. Despite the Land Rights Act of 2018 formally recognizing customary land ownership, significant gaps persist between legal provision and experienced tenure security, particularly for women and customary comm
This project explores how a backpack chassis, or inter nal frame-stay, can provide high-utility campsite infrastructure without increasing the total weight carried by the user. While contemporary outdoor gear often forces a compromise between portability and ergonomic comfort, this project leverages the inherent structural functionality of a hiking backpacks internal skeleton to create an integrat
This study examines how hate motives are constructed through a linguistic phrasing in Swedish criminal court judgments from a sociology of law perspective. The aim is to analyze how courts as institutional actors produce and reproduce legal meaning of hate motives through juridical discourse. The study applies a qualitative discourse analytical approach with a linguistic focus and grounded in a so
This project centers on the experience of mindfulness training and investigates how industrial design can lower the barrier to everyday mindfulness practice while increasing bodily participation during training. The project begins with research on alexithymia, which draws attention to the relationship among emotional awareness, bodily sensations, and psychological training. As the research progr
I detta examensarbete, numeriska simuleringsverktyg- CFD och FEM- användes för att beräkna flödet, temperaturfältet och de termiska deformationerna inuti en maskin för försegling av den vertikala kanten av en kartongförpackning. Arket- förpackningsmaterialet har en U-form- matas in i maskinen- side sealer- där varm luft blåses mot båda kanterna av arket. Syftet är att smälta polymer lagret på kanIn this master’s thesis work, numerical simulation tools- computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element method (FEM)- are used to predict the flow, the temperature field and the deformations within a machine for sealing the vertical seam of a carton package. The blank- the packaging material folded as a U-shape- is fed into the machine- the side sealer- where hot air is blown toward both e
This thesis compares the charging capacity of a reciprocal and a nonreciprocal quantum battery in the steady state. The model consists of two qubits functioning as a charger and a battery, where the charger is subjected to a linear driving field and the two qubits are linked via a coherent coupling. Both subsystems are coupled to separate dissipative environments, with an additional joint environm
The maritime industry is undergoing a transition towards alternative fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These fuels influence engine exhaust gas characteristics and consequently affect the performance of waste heat recovery (WHR) systems. This study investigates the impact of fuel type on the recoverable exhaust gas exergy of marine two-stroke engines and evaluates the suitability of differ
In Swedish public healthcare, assisted reproductive treatment is financed for healthcare seekers who cannot achieve spontaneous fertilization. To be granted treatment, applicants are required to be approved in a suitability assessment. This study examines how suitability is constructed within the assessment, how individuals navigate the obstacles they encounter in being evaluated as suitable, and
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act authorizes the President of the United States to impose tariffs on certain goods if they are considered to impose threats to national security. In March 2018, Section 232 was enacted for the first time in over 30 years when President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on certain aluminum products. The initial tariffs implemented in 2018 escalated into a near-univer
Wireless communication systems like Wi-Fi and 5G rely on radio waves whose behavior is difficult to interpret in indoor environments without spatial context. Raw channel measurements processed by parameter estimation algorithms like Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation-Maximization (SAGE) extract multipath components described by their angle of arrival, propagation delay, and attenuation. How
This essay aims to analyze how the bill to lower the age of criminal responsibility is motivated and legitimized in the government's bill, and how children are constructed and renegotiated in relation to responsibility, control, and children's rights within contemporary criminal policy discourse. The theoretical starting point is based on Michel Foucault's theory of disciplinary power
This bachelor’s thesis examines how responsibility is constructed in relation to digital control through representations of victimized young women and girls, as well as perpetrators, in Swedish policy and legal documents. The study examines the Swedish government’s action programme aimed at combatting men´s violence against women, alongside relevant legislative proposals concerning restraining ord
Våtmarker bidrar med många ekosystemtjänster såsom kolinlagring och förbättrad vattenkvalitet och tillgänglighet. Historisk dränering har dock lett till en massiv förlust av våtmarker världen över, vilket resulterat i förlorade ekosystemfunktioner och ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser. Idag finns ett ökat intresse för återställning av våtmarker för att nå beslutade klimat- och miljömål. Det finns dockPeatlands provide several ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and improved water quality and availability. However, historical drainage has led to a massive loss of peatlands worldwide, resulting in lost ecosystem functions and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Today, environmental goals have led to a renewed interest in the restoration of peatlands. However, knowledge gaps regarding
Pollenanalys är en viktig del av rekonstruktion av forna landskap, men det krävs mycket manuellt arbete och expertis för att vara träffäkert. På senare tid har maskininlärning utvecklats och kan vara appliceras brett inom forskning. Syftet med denna studie är därför att utveckla metoden av Olsson et.al på fossila pollen att även kunna alalysera fossila pollen (Olsson et.al. 2021, Methods in EcologPollen analysis is an important part of paleo landscape reconstruction, but it requires a lot of manual work, and the work needs to be precise. In recent years machine learning has developed into a useful tool within image analysis. Therefore, this study aims to develop a method of counting fossil pollen based on the method by Olsson et.al. developed for fresh pollen (Olsson et.al. 2021, Methods i
I sydvästra Skåne består berggrunden huvudsakligen av kalkberg som överlagras av en fast lermorän. Kalkberget skiljer sig från andra bergarter genom sin relativt låga hållfasthet och sin ofta uppspruckna struktur. Detta resulterar i att kalkberg i många fall klassas som mjukt berg. Dessa egenskaper påverkar dimensioneringen av stödkonstruktioner, dess nedslagningsdjup samt de lasteffekter som utveIn the southwestern part of Skåne, the bedrock consists mainly of limestone, followed by sedimentary soils. Limestone differs from other rock types due to its relatively low strength and often fractured structure. This results in it being classified as a weak rock in many cases. These properties affect the design of retaining structures, their embedment depth and the effects of actions that develo
Urban heat island effects are intensifying in rapidly urbanizing coastal cities, yet the thermal implications of wetland transformation remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates the spatial and seasonal dynamics of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) intensity in Kochi, India, with particular focus on reclaimed wetlands.
