Minute-by-minute data was analyzed that was collected for one year from 15 dwellings in northern and southern Sweden, logging window angle, air-quality indicators and temperatures indoors and outdoors. More than 17 000 discrete airing events were detected and charac

This thesis investigates particulate matter emissions from a turbofan jet engine operated with fossil Jet A fuel and mixtures of Jet A and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), focusing on particle size distributions and total emission concentrations. The aim was to evaluate emissions from different fuel blends and sampling points, assess the performance of the designed sampling and dilution system, an

Brazil’s National Strategy for the Impact Economy (ENIMPACTO), launched in 2017, is a public initiative that fosters an ecosystem where businesses combine financial returns with positive social and environmental outcomes. While the strategy has earned both national and international recognition, its implementation and the role of intermediary organizations in this process remain underexplored in a

The prevalence of anthropogenic climate disasters is increasing, and this phenomenon is partly attributable to the substantial emissions of various industries. Renewable hydrogen (H2) possesses properties that are well suited to the decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries. This energy source has seen a surge in interest and necessity in recent years, driven by regulatory targets set by the Eur

Adverse human rights and environmental impacts frequently occur in textile supply chains, posing severe risks of reputation to brands. For years, voluntary due diligence standards have aimed to make brands understand that they must take responsibility for these adverse impacts and that mitigating these risks is in their own interest. However, this approach has proven largely ineffective. Consequen

Under början av förra seklet skedde en formlig reception av tysk processrätt genom Ernst Kallenbergs verk Svensk Civilprocessrätt i två band. Således kom läran om processföremålet genom 1942 års processreform att läggas till grund för utformningen av den svenska rättegångsbalken (RB). Läran om processföremålet innebär att saken är den omtvistade rättigheten i det bakom-liggande rättsförhållande soAt the turn of the last century, a formal reception of German procedural law took place through Ernst Kallenberg’s work ’Svensk Civilprocessrätt’ in two volumes. Thereby, the German doctrine on the essence of the claim formed the basis for the Swedish Code of Procedure, rättegångsbalken (RB), through the procedural reform of 1942. The doctrine on the essence of the claim holds that the matter cont

In Bhutan, post-harvest losses are a significant challenge for many small scale farmers, especially in rural areas. Since these losses impact the ability to preserve foods during the peak harvesting seasons, this has a wide range of consequences, both for the farmers themselves and for the country as a whole. It contributes to food insecurity, economic uncertainty and the nutritional deficiencies

Vägar till Reform: Hur Transport Hittade Sin Väg in i EU:s Koldioxidmarknad EU:s utsläppshandelssystem har länge undvikit att inkludera vägtransport, trots att den står för en betydande del av Europas koldioxidutsläpp. Detta är förvånande, eftersom klimatkrisen kräver insatser från alla sektorer. Mitt masterarbete undersöker varför vägtransporten ursprungligen exkluderades, vilka utmaningar det This thesis examines why road transport was initially excluded from the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and what factors contributed to its later inclusion in the EU ETS 2. This thesis will examine how environmental, economic, and political factors contributed to the shift in policy through the lens of the theories of liberal Intergovernmentalism (LI) and neofunctionalism. The research uses a

Vilken makt har harmonik över publikens upplevelse av en musikallåt? Kan kontrast mellan harmonik och text fungera som ett effektivt medel för att nå fram till mina känslor som mottagare? Syftet med detta arbete är att få en bättre förståelse för vilken harmonik kompositörer väljer i vilket dramatiskt ögonblick och hur den påverkar mig som lyssnare. Detta görs genom harmonisk och textmässig analysWhat power does harmony have over the audience's experience of a musical theater song? Can the contrast between harmony and lyrics serve as an effective means to reach my emotions as a listener? The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of what harmonic choices composers make in different dramatic moments and how these choices affect me as a listener. This is done through har

Klimatförändringarna medför att svenska byggnader i allt högre grad utsätts för värmeböljor och höga inomhustemperaturer under sommaren. Det ökade behovet av kylning, särskilt i välisolerade och energieffektiva byggnader, har lett till att alternativa lösningar för kyla under varmare perioder börjat att efterfrågas. En relativt ny metod som väckt intresse i Sverige är golvkyla. Tekniken använder sClimate change has led to increasing indoor overheating risks in Swedish buildings, prompting demand for efficient cooling solutions. Floor cooling, i.e. using the same hydronic system as underfloor heating to circulate chilled water, is gaining attention as an energy-efficient and easily integrated method. However, its long-term effects, particularly in wooden floor structures, remain unclear. Mo

I takt med omställningen till mer hållbara energisystem, med elbilen som en av de tydligaste symbolerna, växer behovet av material som inte bara snabbt kan leverera hög strömstyrka, utan också fyller flera funktioner för att kunna integreras i en allt mer dynamisk vardag. Energilagring måste dessutom vara säker, effektiv och redan från början utformas med återanvändning och återvinning i åtanke. FAs the demand for sustainable and efficient energy systems continues to grow, integrated energy solutions have sparked interest in materials that combine multiple functionalities within a single structure. Rather than serving a single purpose, such materials could store energy, catalyse chemical reactions, and even exhibit optical changes, enabling novel applications in smart devices and material

Trender i ungas politiska engagemang är omtvistade, då förändringar sker i vilka frågor de är intresserade av, och i vilken grad de engagerar sig politiskt, samtidigt som ungas materiella verklighet präglas av en tilltagande osäkerhet och ökade krav på resurser. Denna studie ämnar förstå hur unga i Sverige förhåller sig till politik och framtid genom tolkningar av ungas upplevelser av politikens m

Mot bakgrund av Finlands antagande av Lagen om temporära åtgärder för att bekämpa instrumentaliserad migration (2024), syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka hur säkerhetisering-relaterat språk kan användas för att legitimera lagen inom den finska politiska diskursen. Lagen presenterades som ett svar på Rysslands påstådda användning av migranter som ett verktyg i hybridpåverkan mot Finland. När mFinland’s adoption of the Act on Temporary Measures to Combat Instrumentalized Migration (2024:482) provides the background of this investigation. The legislation was introduced as a response to Russia’s alleged use of migrants as a tool of hybrid influence against Finland. When migration is reframed as a form of warfare, it risks reshaping both legislation and perceptions of asylum rights. How po

This thesis examines how the ruling party in Hungary, Fidesz, under the leadership of Viktor Orbán, uses anti-gender rhetoric as a political tool to amplify eurosceptic opinions in Hungarian society. Through an ideational analysis of six political speeches delivered by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, between 2021 and 2025, the study explores how Orbán constructs and propagates specific reality judgem

Climate and environmental policy have long been a part of the European Union’s projected priorities in international relations. Despite multiple crises which have hampered ambitious policy development, climate diplomacy has continued to be an important part of the EU’s identity. Once again, the EU faces multiple challenges that have affected the projection of environmental ambition and the policy

Vi lever i en tid av förändring, en tid där artificiell intelligens tar sina första riktiga vingslag med hela världen framför sig. Denna tid har ofta kallats för "AI-revolutionen" där potentialen för AI verkar gränslös. Det är en potential som även existerar inom den medicinska fronten vilket är något som detta projekt bygger på. Bland individer med ljusare hy är basalcellscancer (BCC) In this thesis we investigate the possibility of delineating basal cell carcinoma using photoacoustic imaging and patient-specific neural networks. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of cancer in lighter-skinned individuals and the current methods for determining the extent of the tumor are invasive and time-consuming. Photoacoustic imaging allows for detailed subsurface imaging at multi

This thesis explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to convert natural language questions into SQL (Structured Query Language) queries within the field of sports analytics, with a focus on a real-world use case for Spiideo, a provider of cloud-based video analysis tools. The study compares different system designs, including single-agent and multi-agent setups, various prompting strategie

Den här uppsatsen undersöker de konstitutionella begränsningarna som gäller för EU-rättens genomslag i svensk rätt med särskilt fokus på 10 kap. 6 § RF och svenska domstolars möjlighet att utöva konstitutionella kontroll av EU rätten. Frågan är i huvudsak outforskad i svensk rätt, men har utvecklats i flera andra EU-medlemsstater. Syftet är att undersöka hur en sådan kontroll rättsligt kan tolThis thesis examines the constitutional limitations governing the domestic effect of EU law in Sweden, with particular emphasis on Chapter 10, Section 6 of the Instrument of Government and the ability of Swedish courts to exercise constitutional review of EU law. While this issue has received little attention Swedish legal discourse, it has been more extensively developed in several other EU

In the face of climate change, environmental migration has become a pressing issue, particularly for countries like Mexico, which are highly vulnerable to climate-related risks and have a long-standing history of structural inequality. Although the environmental drivers of migration have been widely acknowledged, the institutional capacity to address the challenges that accompany them remains unde
