Since the introduction of Edison’s lightbulb over one-hundred years ago, humanity has struggled to keep up with electrification for all. With global attention now aimed at sustainable energy production, the struggle becomes more complex by not only obliging energy access, but access to clean energy. The concept of microgrids has been promising for filling in the demand, but not quickly enough to m
Neonicotinoid insecticides are agonists to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brains of insects. At sub-lethal doses these chemicals cause behavioral abnormalities in several bee species, reducing overall fitness. nAChRs expressed in the optic lobes of insects bind neonicotinoids, thus may be involved in these behavioral changes. Here we attempted without success to visualize the pr
Tolkning och kvantifiering av strålningseffekter pga. atmosfäriska partiklar är en signifikant del av IPCC’s modellering av hur tidigare klimat förändrats och hur förändringar i framtiden kommer se ut. I den här studien vill vi strukturera och analysera observationer av huvudsakligen svavelpartiklar positionerade i stratosfären från naturliga och möjligtvis mänskliga källor, med hänvisning till va
Recently, several regions in southern Sweden suffered extremely low groundwater levels following a long-term infrequency in rainfall. In response, irrigation was banned in many of the affected municipalities during 2016–2017, amongst which Mörbylånga municipality was one. Because nearly half of the nation’s drinking water is extracted from groundwater, protecting and managing this vital resource i
Ethiopia is the second most populated country on the continent of Africa, with a high density of young people. Its economy remains largely based on agriculture, however, in recent years, slow structural change can be seen. Concurrently, youth education has been on the rise. Due to this phenomenon, the educated youth are now trying to match their skills with current employment opportunities. As a c
In this work a strategy for numerical simulation of punching during concurrent pressing of stainless steel sheet metal has been investigated accounting for the stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter. Modelling of the damage evolution of a sheet metal is a useful tool within the field of engineering and materials science, and can provide useful information regarding material capabilities in a

The primary settling tank (PST) is often one of the first treatment steps at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and is the first process in the plant to remove significant amounts of suspended solids. Its role in wastewater treatment however, has oftentimes been neglected and little effort has been made to optimize and model the process. The PSTs have historically been designed based on hydraulic
In a GIS system, the need to encode geospatial data without standardized cartographic representations, such as population data, weather information, etc., on top of a map is common. This can be done with a layer on top of a base map, with the effect that the base map is partially or fully hidden. Reducing the opacity (or its equivalent - increasing the transparency) of this overlay data layer is a
Bakgrund: Distanslöpare beskrivs som en grupp som utsätts för hög risk att drabbas av överbelastningsskador som till största del är lokaliserade i den nedre extremiteten. En svag abduktormuskulatur förmodas vara en bidragande faktor till att utveckla överbelastningsskador hos löpare. Det är i dagsläget vanligt med muskelstärkande träning för höftabduktorerna både som rehabiliteringsåtgärd samt i p
Denna uppsats undersöker sekretesslagstiftningen i den svenska offentliga förvaltningen. Området har blivit aktuellt i samband med de omfattande förändringar, däribland en anmälningsplikt mot papperslösa, som presenterats i Tidöavtalet och den efterföljande kritik från olika yrkesgrupper. Kritiken består huvudsakligen av att förslagen strider mot existerande lagstiftning och mot yrkesetik. Det är This thesis examines the privacy legislation in the Swedish public administration. The topic has become relevant following the proposals made in “Tidöavtalet”, a written political agreement between the Swedish government parties and Sverigedemokraterna, a supporting party. The proposals suggest reforming the current legislation and to introduce an obligation to report illegal immigrants to the pol
The advancement of CMOS technology has been fueled by the need to satisfy Moore’s law by shrinking transistors to progressively smaller sizes and increasing the transistor density per unit area [1]. The dimension of the state-of-the-art MOSFET is now down to a few nanometers. However, with continued device scaling, the performance of Integrated Chips (ICs) starts to deteriorate, making it essentia
The combined global emergence of a sustainable development discourse and Swedish policies requiring municipalities to rapidly build new housing have led Lund to develop Brunnshög. This pioneering megaproject balances urban expansion with high sustainability ambitions. Through the lens of urban political ecology, this thesis aims at analysing Brunnshög’s dominant sustainability narrative as told by
In this thesis, I discuss the difficulties Ukrainian refugees face in accessing and integrating into the Swedish labor market, the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Sweden with regard to the labor market integration of Ukrainian refugees, and the policy hindrance and CSOs’ limitation in achieving their goal for Ukrainian refugees. This thesis gathers qualitative data using semi-structu
In Skåne, Southern region of Sweden, where the idea that no Sámis live in the area is largely spread across the Swedish population, the few Sámis living there find themselves navigating their ethnic identity, between performativity, agency, and making use of the policies implemented at a national level. In a context of ongoing decolonisation of the Sámis and their lands, official institutions such
Den här studiens primära syfte är att jämföra och utvärdera två medborgardialogs metoder. De två metoderna är samrådsmöten och Public participatiory GIS (PPGIS). Samrådsmöten är en etablerad metod inom medborgardialog för samhällsplanering i Sverige. Uppsatser syftar till att pröva hypotesen om PPGIS är en effektivare metods för medborgardialog. Uppsatsen utvärderade först de två metoderna med hThe primary purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate two public participation methods. The two methods are public meetings and Public participatory GIS (PPGIS). Public meetings are an established public participation method for urban planning in Sweden. The thesis aims to test the hypothesis if PPGIS is more effective as a public participation method. The thesis first evaluated the two me
Sentinel-2 based data provides interesting opportunities for land monitoring and applications in agriculture. High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP) is derived from Sentinel-2 data and offers up to 13 metrics. These metrics have a high spatial resolution (10x10m) and enables the possibility for in-field agricultural monitoring. The aim of this study is to evaluate four of t
This thesis’ main goals were to provide accurate forecasts and informative physical parameter estimates for energy use of the district heating in the Tingbjerg neighborhood, Copenhagen. Our work is aimed as a contribution for future work towards efficient on-demand energy production. We applied Dynamic Double Machine Learning to estimate the causal effects of weather observations on energy use. Th
This thesis is inspired by the lack of academic discourse on human rights aspects of human space settlement. It builds on the ever-growing literature on colonizing Mars and the ongoing public debate on the benefits versus disadvantages thereof. Taking on a critical approach, this thesis opens up a conversation on power, universalism, and legitimacy within space exploration, questioning both the on
A prototype of a novel 10B-based neutron detector called the Multi-Grid detector has been constructed, tested and commissioned for the European Spallation Source (ESS). The detector is constructed after the specifications set by the CSPEC instrument at ESS and is therefore called the CSPEC Multi-Grid detector. The detector uses multiple layers of solid coating containing 10B4C on the edges of a vo
