The road freight sector’s significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions necessitates emission mitigating strategies to meet climate targets, such as the Paris Agreement’s goal of 43% emission reduction. While Battery Electric Trucks (BETs) show great potential to reach these goals, their successful integration hinges on optimization and route planning. This thesis investigates the condition

This study investigates how early-career professionals construct their professional identities within the context of graduate development programs. As organizations increasingly rely on graduate development programs to attract and develop high-potential graduates, these programs have become an important talent development strategy for cultivating future leaders. Yet, despite the growing prevalence
Society is undergoing a great transformation with regard to the climate crisis, where electrification plays a crucial role in decarbonizing. To meet the future energy demand, improving power grid utilization is essential. This thesis develops standardized methods to evaluate and identify key parameters in terms of impact and branch loading, and to determine the probability of load flow scenarios u

It takes a village to raise a child. It also takes a village to care for our elders - and with this ambition my project of generational housing was created. However, our elders lived a whole life before we came along, which I choose to value as a resource in order to create balance in the everyday life of families with working parents. The neighbourhood is conceived as a semi-collective unit at
To address global food security challenges caused by population growth and climate change, accurate prediction of crop yield is essential for sustainable agriculture. Winter wheat, a key global crop, faces production instability in regions like Sweden and Morocco due to extreme weather conditions. This study employed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based multispectral imagery and digital surface mod
Patricio Guzman’s 1997 documentary film La memoria obstinada contains highly interesting narrative elements. These performative devices, also called re-enactments, are remarkably effective in historiographical, psychological, and cultural terms. These stylistic devices present in the Chilean director's cinematographic work manage to materialize memory within the sociocultural context to which
Denna studie undersöker utrymning genom inåtgående dörrar, något som bör undvikas enligt svenska byggregler när antalet personer i en lokal överstiger 30. Trots detta är de specifika utmaningarna och påverkande faktorerna, särskilt vad gäller personer med nedsatt rörelseförmåga, till stor del outforskade. För att belysa detta genomfördes en litteraturstudie samt utrymningsförsök med 36 deltagare (This study investigates evacuation through inward-opening doors, a practice discouraged by Swedish building regulations when occupant numbers exceed 30. Despite this, the specific challenges and influencing factors, particularly regarding individuals with movement impairments, remain largely unexplored. To address this gap, a literature review and eight evacuation scenarios involving 36 participan
This thesis explores how new ventures develop routines for using artificial intelligence (AI) in social media marketing. As AI tools become more accessible, many small companies begin using them without formal rules or training. The study focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the early stages of development and examines how AI use begins and spreads within teams. The research is
Climate change and anthropogenic influences are significantly altering marine ecosystems in the Baltic Sea, posing substantial challenges for fisheries. The Bornholm Basin, located in the central Baltic Sea, is a crucial fishing area for the region and has been experiencing shifts in fish distribution and abundance due to changing oceanographic conditions. These changes affect not only fish migrat
Klassificering av knäbelastning med maskininlärning för att identifiera skaderisk Den här studien utvecklar en metod för att tidigt identifiera riskfyllda rörelsemönster med det långsiktiga målet att förebygga korsbandsskador, genom att kombinera bärbara sensorer och maskininlärning.The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament in the knee, mainly due to its role as a primary joint stabiliser. In sports science, non-contact ACL injuries are commonly linked to change-of-direction (COD) manoeuvres, especially in multidirectional team sports. Given the long rehabilitation times and risk of long-term consequences, ACL injury prevention remains a maj
Klimatförändringarnas inverkan på nederbördsmönster, i kombination med ökande urbanisering och förtätning av städer, bidrar till en ökad risk för skyfallsrelaterade översvämningar i urbana miljöer. Detta examensarbete syftade till att undersöka hur översvämningsrisken påverkas av fyra faktorer: regnintensitet, andel grönyta uppströms, avstånd till huvudledningsnät samt typ av ledningsnät. Studien Increasing urbanization and changes in rainfall patterns due to climate change lead to an increased risk of cloudburst-related flooding in urban areas. This master’s thesis aimed to examine how the risk of flooding depends on four factors: the rainfall intensity, the proportion of upstream green areas within catchment areas, the distance to the main sewer system and the type of sewer system. The t
