Värmeböljor förväntas bli vanligare och mer intensiva till följd av klimatförändringar vilket ökar behovet av geografiska analyser av värmesårbarhet i urbana miljöer som är särskilt värmeutsatta. Denna studie undersöker hur olika metoder för konstruktion av värmesårbarhetsindex påverkar identifieringen av sårbara områden i Malmö. Två etablerade metoder jämförs: ett additivt, oviktat index och ett Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent and intense because of climate change, increasing the need for geographical analyses of heat vulnerability, particularly in heat-exposed urban environments. This study examines how different methods for constructing heat vulnerability indices affect the identification of vulnerable areas in Malmö. Two established methods are compared: an additive, unw

Multiplayer onlinespel utgör en globalt stor social arena där kommunikation sker via röst- och textchatt. En del av denna kommunikation mellan spelare tenderar att bli negativ och benämns då som cyberaggression. En möjlig förklaring till cyberaggressivt beteende inom gaming är Albert Banduras teori om moralisk frånkoppling och användandet av teorins olika frånkopplingsmekanismer. Syftet med studie

The green transition has increased the demand for minerals and raw materials, positioning the mining industry as essential for achieving the current climate goals. However, mining activities also create significant social and environmental tensions, particularly for local communities and indigenous groups. This paper examines whether sustainability practices within the Swedish mining industry alig

In early 2026, the European Union (EU) adopted the Omnibus I proposal to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by reducing reporting burdens and enhancing competitiveness. However, it has been criticised for weakening sustainability ambitions and increasing uncertainty about future sustainability reporting. This thesis examines how sustainability professionals percei

Firearm-related crime presents a significant challenge in forensic investigations, particularly when in court indirect contact is invoked as an alternative explanation for the presence of DNA on a weapon. This study aimed to characterise location-specific DNA distribution patterns from different firearm handling scenarios and to assess whether these patterns can support activity-level evaluation i

Fifth-Generation New Radio (5G NR) base stations produce detailed scheduling logs that record per-slot decisions, channel measurements, and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback at sub-millisecond granularity. Diagnosing anomalies in these logs currently requires domain experts to spend approximately one hour of manual inspection per file, and no standardised tooling exists for automated

Early Warning Systems (EWS) are crucial for safeguarding communities, but are vulnerable to failure due to a technocratic focus that excludes local communities. This thesis closes the gap between normative participatory principles and practical implementation by exploring the entry points or challenges that affect community participation. Adopting a complexity theory lens, the study conducts a qua

This thesis presents the development of a prototype for a concealed power strip integrated into the underside of a sofa. The aim is to improve accessibility to electrical outlets while maintaining a clean and unobtrusive appearance in the living environment. The solution is designed to both hide cables and allow convenient access to power when seated, while ensuring sufficient ground clearance for

Examensarbetet genomfördes på uppdrag av ett företag som utvecklar mjukvara för flygbolag. Företaget använde ett internt simuleringsverktyg för att testa sina kartapplikationer, vilket hade växt fram organiskt utan fokus på användbarhet. Detta hade resulterat i ett verktyg som upplevdes svårt att använda och tidskrävande för de anställda på företaget. Syftet med examensarbetet var att analysera de

Syfte & mål: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur byggnadsdelar ska projekteras för att möjliggöra framtida demontering och återbruk utan bearbetning. Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om demonteringens utveckling för hela byggnadsdelar. Målet är att identifiera tekniska lösningar som skapar förutsättningar för en effektiv demontering. Genom att analysera ett antal byggnadsdelar är måle

Brazil's Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme, Bolsa Família, reached over 50 million people at its peak, yet evidence on its long-run association with structural vulnerability remains limited. This thesis examines whether sustained programme expansion was associated with reductions in multidimensional social vulnerability across 27 Brazilian states between 2000 and 2021. Using a long-dif

Dense camera arrays and offline processing are often used for high-quality 3D and 4D scene capture, but such setups are difficult to use as interactive VR content-creation tools. This thesis investigates whether sparse multi-camera capture can be connected to practical reconstruction and visualization workflows for indoor person-centered scenes. A WebUI-controlled system was designed and implement

This thesis examines the relationship between the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) in regulating automated decision-making involving personal data. Emphasis is given to the legal intersection between Article 22 GDPR outlining automated-decision making regime and the AIA’s human oversight requirements for high-risk AI systems (Article 14), parti

The energy sector's dominant share of the anthropogenic environmental and climate impact makes the subject highly relevant for sustainable development. The paper aims to shed light on what influences energy strategy work in order to contribute to perspectives on which knowledge is prioritized. My method was of an ethnographic approach, where I was given the opportunity to do an internship at

Does the quality of project planning documents predict development outcomes? This thesis examines that question empirically using 1,110 World Bank Investment Project Financing operations in South Asia approved between 1958 and 2021. Drawing on the full text of project appraisal documents, the thesis constructs quantitative scores operationalising three competing theoretical frameworks: Results-Bas

This thesis presents the development of a structured framework for extrusion screw design based on geometrical parameters, with the aim of improving understanding and supporting design decisions in industrial extrusion processes. The work was carried out in collaboration with Tetra Pak and focuses on the extrusion system used in injection compression molding of Tetra Top lids. An initial numerica

The EU’s Sustainability Disclosure Framework has been substantially revised. The CSRD and the ESRS have been changed under Directive (EU) 2026/470, and the Commission has proposed a reform for SFDR, which transforms the framework’s disclosure-based structure to a comprehensive categorization system based on three categories: Transition, ESG Basics, and Sustainable. This thesis examines what change

Magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) is a developing imaging modality using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as contrast agent. MNPs are accumulated at a tissue target and set in motion by a time-varying magnetic field. The resulting displacement spreads to surrounding tissue and is detected with ultrasound. The objective of this modality is to transition medical ultrasound from structural to molecular sp
