This thesis focuses on the concept “sustainable consumption” and how it is conceptually constructed by Swedish secondhand actors, specifically non-profit actors who actively engage in the resale of clothing. Our current excessive overconsumption of fashion and pressing need to shift to a more sustainable mode of consumption requires us to critically assess the definition of our sustainability idea
Spin-polarized two-dimensional electron states (2DES) at the silicon terminated surfaces of LnT2Si2 compounds, show promising spintronics applications due to their magnetically controllable transport properties. In this master thesis, the objective is to study TbIr2Si2 crystals, which are a member of the LnT2Si2 family, and their magnetic ordering transition. In these systems spin orbit and exchan
This project explores how tactile interaction can lower the barrier to digital sound creation by replacing conventional musical interfaces with abstract, touch-sensitive surfaces. Drawing from a personal challenges with the technical constraints of traditional and digital instruments, the work addresses how rigid systems often inhibit creative flow, especially for users without theoretical trainin
We present classical results for convex polytopes. After reviewing quaternions, we apply these algebraic tools to polyhedral graphs. In 1891, Eberhard wondered if there exists a trivalent polyhedron with an odd number of multitrivalent faces. In 1964, Motzkin was able to find a solution to the problem. He used the group formed by the 24 units in the ring of Hurwitz quaternion integers to obtain th
This work examines the application of time geography to understand children's everyday and independent mobility. Over the past few decades, children's daily lives have become increasingly institutionalized, filled with organized activities aimed at maximizing their development. Concurrently, children's independent mobility has decreased, with parents often driving them to various activ
Denna kandidatuppsats utforskar hur lagerarbetare upplever de digitala system som numera präglar deras dagliga arbete. Digitala system är fortfarande relativt nytt inom logistikbranschen, och den forskning som hittills gjorts fokuserar främst på ekonomiska aspekter och hur de kan öka produktiviteten. Denna uppsats lyfter fram arbetarens perspektiv och hur de upplever omställningen i termer av stre
This thesis investigates the focusing performance and robustness of auto-focusing Airy beams in near-field wireless communication scenarios. Through a combination of simulations using MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory, a numerical computing environment) and full-wave electromagnetic simulations in FEKO (Feldberechnung für Körper mit beliebiger Oberfläche, an electromagnetic solver developed by Altair), th
Based on six interviews with employees at cultural institutions, this study investigates how events in support of Palestine were restricted by the Copenhagen municipality in the period between November 2023 and March 2024. Following Braun and Clarke’s (2022) approach to reflexive thematic analysis, I analyse the interviews and draw on theoretical perspectives regarding anti-Palestinian racism, cri
This essay examines how the choice of theory and model affects the conclusions drawn regarding short run stabilization policy. This is done by comparing the ‘orthodox’ New Neoclassical Synthesis with the ‘heterodox’ post-Keynesian theory as well as their corresponding benchmark-models using scenario analyses. We model both a small and a large shock to autonomous investments and compare the policy
In recent years, populist support has grown while public confidence in political and economic institutions has weakened across Europe. This thesis explores the connection between these trends by asking whether populist participation in national cabinets undermines trust in domestic and supranational institutions. Using Eurobarometer surveys and election data from 25 EU member states between 2000 a
Deep learning models have significantly improved the advancement of monocular 3D face reconstruction models. However, such models often struggle to capture person-specific high-frequency details. To address this issue, this report proposes a hybrid reconstruction pipeline that enhances DECA produced 3D face models by incorporating RGB-D data captured with the consumer grade iPhone TrueDepth camera
Fueled by rapid advancements and widespread adoption, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how Design Thinking (DT) is applied in entrepreneurship. While DT is a well-established human-centered innovation framework, the integration of AI in its practical application, along with the emerging challenges and adaptive strategies, remains underexplored. To address this gap, a qualitative resear
Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with over 200 types characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and spread. Despite advances in understanding its molecular basis, treatment remains challenging. Chemotherapy, a common approach, lacks specificity and often harms healthy cells, leading to severe side effects. To address this, targeted therapies have emerged, aiming to deliver drugs d
Urban flooding poses severe risks to lives, property, and infrastructure, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities like Kampala, Uganda. This study focuses on the Lubigi catchment, one of Kampala's largest drainage basins, which experiences frequent pluvial flooding intensified by urban encroachment, poor drainage infrastructure, and wetland degradation. To assess flood risks, a 1D and a 2D m
Empirical evidence suggests that post-communist countries uniformly exhibit significantly more negative immigration attitudes compared to Western countries. However, many aspects of this tendency remain under-researched – including its potential underlying causes. This study hypothesises that the delayed emergence of modernisation processes in post-communist countries may be a key explanatory fact
The ability to manipulate spin states with light forms the basis of spin-based photonics. The development of semiconductors with tunable spin properties will enable devices that use spin for information storage, circular polarized light emission, etc. With the recent reports of a chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect in electrons, the question arises whether structural chirality provide
Obstetric violence, also known as mistreatment or abuse during childbirth, is gaining recognition in the reproductive justice and global health arenas. Research to date has underscored its global prevalence, long-lasting impacts on individuals, and contributing forms of structural and gendered violence. However, attention is lacking on how discourses about obstetric violence are constructed and di
Denna uppsats undersöker hur mödrar som arbetstagare, omsorg och jämställdhet konstrueras i EU:s politik för balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet är att bidra till en djupare förståelse för hur institutionella visioner om jämställdhet formas och vad de inkluderar respektive utesluter. Analysen fokuserar på två centrala policydokument: Arbetslivsbalansdirektiv från 2019 och Kommissionens initThis thesis explores how mothers as workers, care, and gender equality are constructed in EU work-life balance policy. The aim is to contribute to a deeper understanding of how institutional visions of equality are constructed and what they include or exclude. The analysis focuses on two central policy documents: the 2019 Work-Life Balance Directive and the 2017 Commission initiative on work-life
Vatten är en livsviktig men samtidigt alltmer omstridd resurs, särskilt i områden där ekologisk sårbarhet möter konkurrerande socioekonomiska behov. Denna avhandling analyserar styrningsdynamiken inom Machángara Watershed Conservation Committee i Cuenca, Ecuador – en flerpartsplattform där offentliga institutioner, lokala myndigheter, akademin och sektoriella aktörer samverkar för att skydda ett kWater is an essential yet increasingly contested resource, particularly in regions where ecological vulnerability intersects with competing socio-economic demands. This thesis examines the governance dynamics of the Machángara Watershed Conservation Committee in Cuenca, Ecuador — a multi-stakeholder platform bringing together public institutions, local governments, academia, and sectoral actors to
Among adult brain cancers, glioblastoma (GBM) stands out for its frequency and severity, characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis. Gabapentin, a gabapentinoid widely prescribed for managing neurological conditions such as neuropathic pain and seizures, has been proposed to influence tumor-neural interactions and modulates glioblastoma outcomes. This study used real-world clinical data
