Shared micro-mobility gradually becomes a crucial part of human daily transportation. To develop the shared micro-mobility, discovering the important influence factors of each travel mode is a key aspect. However, there are scarce studies that adopt machine learning methods to model travel choice between shared micro-mobility services and identify the crucial determinants for each mode. This study
Eoliska sanddyner är en sällan undersökt resurs ur ett paleoklimatperspektiv. Genom att undersöka dynernas geomorfologi och strukturer kan de klassificeras som olika dyntyper. Eoliska sanddyner kräver speciella omständigheter och förutsättningar för att bildas och agerar värdefulla klimatarkiv för de tidperioder då de avsatts. Dessa klimatarkiv kan berätta om den lokala miljön gällande bland annatAeolian sand dunes is a seldom studied resource from the perspective of paleoclimates. By analysing the dunes geomorphology and structures they can be classified into different type of dunes. Aeolian dunes require special circumstances and conditions to be met to enable their deposition. The sand dunes can then act as precious climate archives for the time periods during which they were formed. Th
Conflicting dynamics are taking place in urban areas. Global climate change has necessitated that cities drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions while still accommodating rising urban populations. Innovative solutions are needed to remedy this complex problem. This thesis assesses the use of laneway housing as a tool for alleviating these issues. Four main research questions are posed th
This study investigates the evolving strategic role of Human Resources (HR) in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. By comparing perspectives of HR-leaders and CEOs, HR’s strategic contribution is explored, as well as the barriers limiting its influence and the priorities needed for driving increased organisational success. A qualitative, comparative approach was
In robotic systems, uncertainty in model parameters, such as joint stiffness, link lengths, or mass distributions, can significantly affect performance and precision. This thesis investigates the quantification and propagation of such uncertainties using the programming language Julia, with a focus on developing a systematic framework for uncertainty-aware modeling and simulation. It leverages the
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
We live in an increasingly individualistic society where involuntary loneliness, especially among older adults, has become a growing issue. In Sweden, where single-person households are common, many seniors, particularly those over 65 who live alone, report feeling lonely. At the same time, children are growing up with limited contact with older generations, as everyday interactions between age gr
The purpose of this thesis’ topic is to investigate regular usage and relations between the development led archaeology and the archival institutions of Skåne region in southern Sweden, specifically to highlight how archives might act as reliable sources of information to aid development led archaeology in Skåne region. The research questions touch upon the following topics: what categories of sou
Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ
As buildings become more energy-efficient in their operation, the environmental costs of building components, such as carbon emissions during manufacturing, transportation, and end-of-life, are becoming increasingly significant. Automated façade shading systems have been widely proposed for their ability to reduce operational energy use and improve daylight performance. However, their life-cycle e
Social workers in Swedish child welfare operate within a context where children’s right to express their views is legally regulated, while professional decision-making often takes place in complex situations involving different perspectives and interests. This study aimed to explore how social workers describe their use of professional discretion in cases where children’s and parents’ wishes do no
Ett problem med parkeringsapplikationer är att användare ofta glömmer att avsluta aktiva parkeringssessioner, vilket leder till överbetalning. Denna uppsats designar och utvärderar automatisk avslutning av parkering på ett sätt som minskar överbetalning samtidigt som användarnas tillit och kontroll bevaras, samt utvärderar resultatet. Projektet resulterade i en testapplikation för iOS med en automA problem with parking applications is that users often forget to end active parking sessions, which leads to overpayment. This thesis designs and implements automatic parking termination in a way that reduces overpayment, while preserving user trust and control, as well as evaluating the results. The project resulted in an iOS test application with an automatic termination feature called AutoStop
The costs for producing machines have increased a lot in the latest years. For Presona this has meant that production costs for their main waste compactor needed to be cut in order to keep the compactor in their production line. The waste compactor was initially developed sometime in the 1960s when the price for construction materials and assembly allowed Presona to develop the compactor using a t
Alla naturligt förekommande grundämnen, med få undantag, har skapats i stjärnors inre. Några av dem har skapats långsamt och kontinuerligt och stora mängder har ansamlats under årmiljonerna. Andra har skapats under några få sekunder i några av de mest våldsamma explosionerna i universum, nämligen de s.k. supernovorna. Genom att studera dessa processers avtryck, kan vi fördjupa vår kunskap om, t.exSulphur is one of the more interesting chemical elements from a scientific perspective. As a volatile element, sulphur could potentially be used as a tracer of galactic properties, such as star-formation rate and initial mass function, in both the Milky Way and beyond. But first its origin and production has to be understood. Knowledge of Galactic chemical evolution of sulphur is therefore vital.
Den ökade betydelsen av immateriella rättigheter, utvecklade möjligheter till lättare spridning av skyddat material och därigenom ett ökat skyddsbehov har föranlett rättighetsinnehavare att söka nya tillvägagångssätt för bekämpning av immaterialrättsintrång online. Under det senaste årtiondet har ett nytt vapen i form av förbudsförelägganden mot mellanhänder trätt fram. Utan något faktiskt ansvar The increased significance of intellectual property rights, rapid development of easier dissemination of protected works and the subsequent concern for protection has lead right holders to continuously seek new ways of countering online piracy. In the past decade, a new regime of targeting online intermediaries with blocking injunctions has emerged, supported by the legislative powers of the Europ
Healthcare is under pressure and a development towards a more integrated and efficient healthcare requires better communication and collaboration across boundaries. This thesis is about facilitation of change process in the healthcare context with learnings from an authentic project, carried out with the clinic for reconstructive plastic surgery at the Karolinska University Hospital. The methodolo
This thesis focuses on how environmental information concerning food issues is situated and communicated on Swedish environmental blogs. Social media as a form of communication is a current society phenomenon and the Internet is a dominating source of information. A total of 11 Swedish environmental blogs were studied. Five of them function as main objects of information and the six remaining func
