This master’s thesis investigates the system-level and mechanical design of a new service dongle for ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems AB. The service dongle is a handheld Bluetooth tool used by service technicians worldwide to configure, service, and troubleshoot automatic door operators such as sliding, swing, and revolving doors. Currently, two solutions exist: the Configuration Tool Interface (CTI)
The aim of this study is to investigate if a researchers presence affects participants performing a virtual reality evacuation, and if by removing the researcher, the results better resemble the results produced in a real world experiment. Initially, a study on previous research in human behaviour in fire, the effect of a researcher's presence and Virtual reality experiments was conducted. 54
Cykling är en viktig del av ett hållbart transportsystem. Det bidrar bl.a. till en bättre miljö och förbättrad folkhälsa. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vilka faktorer som kännetecknar en bra cykelstad, ur en infrastruktursynpunkt och vilka faktorer som kan leda till ökad cykling. I arbetet intervjuas representanter för kommunerna Lund, Malmö och Helsingborg om vilka infrastrukturella åtgärdeCycling is an important part of a sustainable transport system. It contributes among other things to a better environment and improved public health. The aim of this thesis is to investigate which factors characterize a good cycling city, from an infrastructural point of view, and which factors may lead to increased cycling. In the thesis, representatives of the municipalities of Lund, Malmö and H
The contemporary tourism industry operates within a market-oriented and rationalised logic where risk and uncertainty are primarily perceived as sources of value destruction. While such an approach provides safety and convenience, it simultaneously reduces the spontaneity and unpredictability associated with the unknown. At the same time, the opposite end of the tourism spectrum — unconventional t
Introduction: Dietary macronutrient composition, specifically the intake of meals enriched in carbohydrates, fats, protein or fibre, triggers distinct postprandial metabolic responses but whether these responses vary significantly based on an individual’s glycaemic status: type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or normoglycaemia (ND) remains an open question. Background: Metabolomic and
Understanding the role of conformational entropy in protein-ligand interactions remains a major challenge in rational drug design. In this work Galectin-3C (Gal-3C) complexes with glycomimetic macrocyclic ligands FS435 and FS471 were investigated using NMR spectroscopy. The ligands exhibit similar binding free energies, and calorimetric studies revealed significant enthalpy-entropy compensation. S
This master’s thesis presents the development of an electric cargo vehicle adapted to the urban, infrastructural and socioeconomic conditions of Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project was conducted in collaboration with Eco Delivery, a Bolivian last mile logistics company seeking a sustainable and locally manufacturable transport solution capable of supporting urban delivery operations under demanding c
Mental health problems in Sweden are a growing concern, especially among children and young adults. Child and adolescent psychiatry services (BUP) in Sweden currently have more active cases than in previous years. Consequences of this include an increase in diagnoses of ADHD, a higher risk of suicide among children and young adults, and a growing number of involuntary hospitalisations. The purpose
Denna uppsats undersöker CISG:s tillämplighet på digitala produkter och hur konventionens varubegrepp förhåller sig till EU:s reglering av digitalt innehåll och digitala tjänster. Syftet är att klarlägga om digitala produkter kan omfattas av CISG samt att analysera om konventionens traditionella varubegrepp är förenligt med EU-direktiven på det digitala området. Uppsatsen besvarar två frågeställniThis paper examines the applicability of the CISG to digital products and how the Convention’s concept of goods relates to the EU's regulation of digital content and digital services. The aim is to clarify if digital products may fall within the scope of the CISG and to analyse whether the Convention’s traditional concept of goods is compatible with the EU directives in the digital field. The
This thesis analyzes how South Asian immigrant families in Helsingborg with children utilize, perceive, and sustain car-free mobility in their lives. It reveals that car-free mobility is not merely the absence of car ownership, but a practice shaped by material conditions, users' competencies, and the meanings they attach to different cultural norms and early practice experience in their daily
This thesis examines whether the partially owned parent entity (POPE) rule in the Directive (EU) 2022/2523 (P2D) creates a restriction on the free movement of capital under Article 63 TFEU, and if so, whether that restriction be justified and regarded as proportionate under EU law. The POPE rule forms part of the EU implementation of Pillar Two, which aims to ensure a global minimum level of taxa
Climate change, shifting travel patterns, and the growing popularity of Arctic destinations have driven a rapid increase in tourism in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, over the past few decades. Simultaneously, Longyearbyen is at the end of a transition from a coal-mining community toward a tourism-focused town. While previous research on Svalbard has largely focused on environmental sustainability and gov
This thesis examines how digital-ready regulatory design shapes the operationalisation of human rights due diligence (HRDD) within EU sustainability regulation. It focuses on the growing integration of digital and informational infrastructures into legal frameworks governing sustainability reporting, traceability, monitoring, and corporate due diligence. More specifically, the thesis analyses how
This study examines reflection within a part of the Swedish child welfare system responsible for assessing children and families. The study aims to understand how social workers use reflection in their professional practice and the organisational conditions that shape their opportunities to engage in reflection. The study uses a qualitative design with reflection diaries to capture social workers’
This study examines the experience that parents of children with problematic school absence have, with a focus on three distinct themes: support, collaboration, and the role of the parent. The purpose of this study is to explore the parental perspective on school absence and to highlight their experiences. In order to collect the relevant material to get an insight into the parental perspective, w
This study examines how economic incentives such as Hungary’s Family Protection Action Plan (FPAP) are used as social policy instruments to legitimize the nation in the context of demographic decline. The aim of the thesis is to analyse how social policy becomes embedded within nationalist rhetoric, concerning national sovereignty and self-determination. Using Benedict Anderson’s theory of Imagi
Probiotic strains such as Limosilactobacillus reuteri are highly sensitive to thermal, oxidative, and mechanical stress, and freeze-drying has become a standard technique for stabilizing probiotic cultures. The protective performance of the dried product is determined by both its chemical composition and its mechanical structure, with an ideal encapsulating matrix consisting of thick and co
This study examines how youth leaders in peace projects in Ethiopia develop through their engagement. Based on six weeks of fieldwork across three peace projects in Addis Ababa, Jimma and Hawassa, the study takes a strength-based perspective of the leaders and asks how the peace-project engagement serve developing. Drawing on Honwana's concept of waithood, the study argues that youth leaders i
This thesis examines how the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the protection of inventions, with a focus on patents and trade secrets at the international and, particularly, European level, based on the findings’ data. It begins by defining AI from technical, legal, and economic perspectives, emphasising the growing importance of intangible assets in the modern economy, where AI-r
