This thesis investigates the potential of topology optimization to reduce the weight of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) coupling housing while maintaining structural integrity and manufacturability. The study was conducted in collaboration with BorgWarner Sweden AB and applied finite element analysis (FEA) and topology optimization using ANSYS Workbench. The project followed an adapted Double Diamond fra

This bachelor’s thesis examines how urban densification affects children’s opportunities for play, physical activity and time spent outdoors in the emerging Norra Sorgenfri neighborhood in Malmö. The aim is to analyze how children’s need for open space is addressed in municipal planning documents and how these intentions are realized in the physical environment. Through a case study of the Spårväg
This thesis examines whether, and under what conditions a user’s personal data or permission to collect and use such data can constitute consideration for a supply of services under EU VAT law. This issue arises in the context of data-driven digital platform business models, where the user is often granted access to digital services without monetary payment, while the platform collects, processes
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
This study aimed to examine the factors that contribute to men who use violence against their female partners seeking support from social services for the first time and initiating behavioral change. The study was based on a qualitative approach and consisted of semi-structured interviews with seven social workers in Sweden who work with men using violence in intimate relationships. The empirical
Ungdomars välmående har blivit en allt viktigare folkhälsofråga, förklarat av åratal av dokumenterad och ihållande försämring. Stödjande insatser för barn och ungdomar i utvecklingen av socioemotionella kompetenser (SEC) har tidigare kopplats till ökat välbefinnande, men det finns mindre kunskap om dessa kompetensers direkta korrelation med välmående och hur demografiska faktorer som kön, neuropsyAdolescents’ wellbeing has emerged as a major public health concern, driven by years of documented decline. While previous research has shown that interventions targeting social emotional competencies (SEC) have been linked to enhanced wellbeing, less is known about the direct correlation of these competencies and mediating effects of factors such as gender, neurodevelopmental disorder, and grade.
The slow librarianship movement aims at re-introducing a qualitative, socially sustainable practice into the library and is a response to neoliberalism’s presence within the library sphere. ‘Slow librarianship’ as a concept emerged actively in the USA within the last decade.

The environments of living in temporary accommodation centers for asylum-seeking migrants have prompted many researchers to question the nature of these spaces in relation to the temporal aspect of navigating an asylum application. The physical isolation of the structures, paired with the unique legal restrictions residents must abide by, can be potentially conducive to chronic social exclusion an
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
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The performance of DPI formulations is influenced by the properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), but systematic comparative studies of different APIs under the same processing conditions remain limited. This study investigated the effects of di
In Sweden, there is a problem with school absenteeism, an issue characterised by a lot of complexity and no clear solution. ‘School social teams’ is a relatively new policy initiative used to address absenteeism through structured collaboration between schools and social services. This study aimed to examine how school social teams are described and understood in both national documents and by pro
Micro- and nanoscale pollutants dispersed at low concentrations in the environment pose increasing threats to human health and ecosystems. However, investigating the properties of individual particles remains challenging because conventional characterization methods mainly rely on ensemble measurements. Optical tweezers provide a promising approach for single-particle trapping and open new possibi
Retail warehouses are undergoing rapid technological transformation as companies respond to increasing pressure for faster order fulfilment, higher product variety, labour challenges, and improved operational efficiency. Goods-to-person systems have automated major parts of storage, retrieval, and internal material flow, yet the final item-level picking task at the workstation often remains manual
Incels utgör en antifeministisk subkultur vars hat online bidrar till normalisering av misogyni och kvinnovåld. Forskning har genomförts på hur incelidentiteten konstrueras internt på slutna incelforum, medan färre studier har undersökt hur identiteten upprätthålls i konfrontation med utomstående. Denna studie ämnar därför att nyansera förståelsen för incels identitetsskapande från att inte bara v
This thesis explores the visual and cultural representation of worldbuilding in fantasy genre video game trailers. The focus is to find out to what extent video game trailers in the fantasy genre utilise visual tropes and cultural representations to establish an identity as fantasy video games. It is well established that game developers look for inspiration in the real world when creating new one
