This study investigates the impact of overcrowding on indoor climate quality, thermal comfort, and mould risk in typical Swedish Million Homes Program apartments. This research focuses on the specific challenges posed by overcrowded living conditions in Million Program apartments, which often suffer from high occupant density. Utilizing WUFI Plus a 70 m² apartment typical of the 60s & 70s Mill

This report aims to investigate the links between various environmental factors and coral bleaching in the Red Sea. Corals in the Red Sea have seen less bleaching than in other coral regions. Researchers point to a higher thermal tolerance among coral reefs in this sea. However, bleaching is beginning to occur here with increasing frequency as oceans warm and acidify. Taking monthly data of sea s

This thesis combines labour regime analysis with Marx’s distinctive class of modern landed property in a case-study situated at the small-scale gold mine La Mina Vincente. It examines how the Colombian state's efforts to formalize artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) intersect with the presence of illegal armed groups, shaping the labour regime of La Mina Vincente. The study makes use of qua

Inledning: Detaljhandelsbranschen karaktäriseras av högt tempo och snabba förändringar i såväl utbud som konsumtionsmönster. Covid-19 har även visat sig ha en påverkan på de fysiska klädbutikerna och bidragit till begränsade resurser. Tidigare forskning har mestadels fokuserat på medarbetarnas psykiska hälsa på arbetsplatsen och chefers hälsa har inte uppmärksammats i lika stor utsträckning. Butik

The analysis of glacier mass changes in northern Sweden from 2003 to 2023 employed the non-repeat observation method, utilizing data from altimetry data ICESat and ICESat-2, along with Swedish national DEM and RGI v7.0 glacier boundary. The total volume decreased by -2.78 ± 0.58 km³, corresponding to a total mass loss of 10.41 ± 6.60 m w.e. over the past two decades. These changes contribute appro

A quarter of the Earth’s vegetated surfaces have seen an extension in the fire weather season since 1979, with areas in the Middle East still seeing an increase in burned areas although the global average burned area is decreasing. As fires emit 1.6-2.8 Pg carbon annually, the link between fires and climate has been vigorously studied in western and tropical areas, leaving a research gap for arid

Cities today globally face significant problems in the context of the climate crisis. Firstly, in terms of resilience in enduring future challenges – urban heat islands, increasingly frequent flooding, supply chain disruptions, sea level rise among others. Secondly, in terms of contributing to said crisis, through carbon emissions, the erosion of biodiversity through sprawl, overconsumption, and c

The Ararat Valley, being the cereal basket of Armenia and Turkey, is in danger with over-abstracted groundwater, which already induces colossal water loss and land subsidence. In the current work, advanced remote sensing techniques and machine learning models are applied to predict subsidence and give datadriven recommendations to effect sustainable water management. The tracking of terrain change

På 1600-talet var jorden mycket viktig. Den här uppsatsen handlar om juridiska frågor kopplade till jord, samt arv av jord, i Jämtland efter freden i Brömsebro år 1645. Anledningen till detta är att Jämtland genom freden i Brömsebro blev svenskt från att tidigare ha varit dansk-norskt. Den stora majoriteten av alla jämtar hade även fråntagits sin jord av den danska kungen genom en rannsakning som In the 17th century, land was very important. This essay deals with legal issues connected to land, and inheritance of land, in Jämtland after the Peace of Brömsebro in 1645. The reason for this is that Jämtland became Swedish through the Peace of Brömsebro from having previously been Danish-Norwegian. The vast majority of Jämtland’s inhabitants had also been deprived of their land by the Danish k

Den västra gnejsregionen (VGR) i Norge är ett prekambriskt basementområde i den kaledoniska bergskedjan i Skandinavien. Berggrunden i VGR genomgick metamorfos vid mycket höga tryck och temperaturer när den drogs djupt ned under den kaledonska kontinent-kollisionen. I norra VGR, strax söder om Roan, ligger Harbak-halvön. Berggrunden på Harbak består i huvudsak av bandad amfibolit och olika slags orThe Western Gneiss Region (WGR) in Norway is a high-grade metamorphic domain in the Scandinavian Caledonides that represent the parautochthonous Precambrian Baltica basement that subducted beneath Laurentia during the Caledonian continent collision. In the Northern WGR, south of Roan, lies the Harbak peninsula. The bedrock of Harbak consists of banded amphibolite and various orthogneisses that hav

This thesis displays how Danish courts represent Danish children of foreign fighters situated in the al-Roj camp in Syria. Through the use of Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’-approach to poststructural policy analysis in combination with a theoretical framework of children born of war (CBOW) and the Copenhagen School’s theory of securitization, the thesis answers two main que

Automationslösningar i form av PLC-programmering ökar i rasande fart och PLC-tillverkare som Siemens och Rockwell Automation är bland de mest använda och erkända i Europa. PLC-enheterna från dessa tillverkare tillsammans med motsvarande utrustning som exempelvis HMI-paneler är standardiserade och löser komplexa problem inom industriell automation. Utöver skillnader i prestanda och kommunikation är

Currently, industries are actively pursuing heat decarbonization solutions, yet face challenges in identifying and understanding suitable options for their facilities. Thermal energy storage (TES), systems that capture and store renewable energy for prolonged periods to provide superheated steam, are presented as a promising but relatively recent solution for decarbonizing heat-intensive industrie

Uppsatsen söker undersöka den kvinnliga vampyren som queerfigur i Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla med understöd och relevans i den gotiska vampyrtraditionen i stort.The paper seeks to explore the female vampire as a queerfigure in Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla with backround in, and with historical relevance for, the gothic vampire tradition.

The thesis explores whether the precautionary principle can be reconciled with and integrated into the European Convention on Human Rights (“ECHR”), particularly in the context of climate change. It examines whether the European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR” or “Court”) addresses climate change issues through the precautionary principle by including precautionary reasoning in its assessments. Th

Both the EU and Sweden aim to incorporate hydrogen to decarbonize industries and reduce fossil fuel dependence. Liquid Wind, a company focused on sustainable electro-fuel production, develops facilities to convert biogenic CO2 and renewable hydrogen into green electro-fuel eMethanol. Such facilities, handling flammable substances, require quantitative risk assessments (QRA). Currently, Hydrogen QR

This thesis explores patriarchal sexual scripts through network analysis of data collected in an anonymous survey with a final sample of N = 1.029 responses. The aim is both conceptual and methodological insofar as the project uses Gaussian Graphical Models to develop a radical feminist point about patriarchal sexuality. For this purpose, the concept patriarchal sexual scripts is developed from ra

Utsläpp från avloppsreningsverk påverkar våra sjöar och hav negativt och allt högre krav ställs på reningsprocesserna på avloppsreningsverken. Nya utsläppskrav kommer att presenteras i Avloppsdirektivet från EU under 2024 och kommer att vara vägledande för de utsläppskrav som finns på de svenska avloppsreningsverken. Strängare utsläppskrav för kväve och fosfor tvingar reningsverken att optimera siEmissions from wastewater treatment plants affect our lakes and seas negatively. Higher demands are therefore placed on the purification processes at the wastewater treatment plants. New emission requirements will be presented in the Wastewater Directive from the EU in 2024 and will be a guide for the emission requirements that exist for the Swedish wastewater treatment plants. Stricter emission r

Canada pledged to achieve net zero by 2050 and important efforts revolving around the energy transition of electricity generation systems toward renewables sources are being carried. Currently, most renewable systems developed are occurring on Indigenous communities’ lands for various reasons. Climatic conditions are suitable for solar and wind-based solutions, space is available, and this trend c
