Globally, automated ecological cameras (PhenoCam) are widely used to monitor vegetation and seasonal changes. Snow is usually easy to identify, but image quality flags (like haze, glare) can make it hard to detect in large datasets. Manual quality control becomes prohibitively time-intensive for large-scale phenological studies, creating a critical need for robust automated snow detection methods.
This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. Arjo’s product offering is largely centered around providing healthier outcomes for individuals with limited mobility and includes products for patient transfer, hygiene, disinfection, etc. One product type which is central to Arjo’s mission is the hygiene chair. This type of product is
This study investigates the relationship between the use of pesticides within Ängelholm Municipality’s largest water protection area and the levels of these substances in the drink-ing water. With a growing population and modern lifestyle, society has developed a de-pendency on continuous food production, which in turn has led to increased use of pesti-cides to ensure stable harvesters. This can h
On not sharing ones home with ones partner: The gendered experience of women in LAT relationships in Sweden and Austria. This thesis explores the gendered experiences of women in Living Apart Together (LAT) relationships. It focuses on how LAT as a relational form is negotiated within the contested space of intimacy and coupledom, that is shaped by cultural norms and societal expectations around c

Cities are important stakeholders in the EU’s quest to achieve climate neutrality (European Commission, 2020a). The EU has acknowledged the importance of cities through the EU Mission on ‘Climate Neutral and Smart Cities’, which aims to enable 100 European cities to become climate-neutral by 2030 (European Commission, 2021a). However, climate change has the potential to intersect with, exacerbate,
Floods are among the most frequent and destructive natural disasters in Sub-Saharan Africa, exacerbated by climate change, rapid urbanisation, and inadequate infrastructure. In this context, drones, or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), are increasingly recognised for their potential to enhance disaster management. Yet, adoption across the region remains fragmented, inconsistently integrated into work
IPH, specifically men's lethal violence against females, persists as a persuasive issue, both internationally and nationally. This is despite political reforms such as the 2020 legal amendment addressing such violence. In response to contemporary concerns and to analyse the phenomena deeper, this thesis focuses on the narratives, dynamics, and motives presented in court rulings concerning IPH
The exclusive economic right of communication to the public granted to authors in respect of their works, as enshrined in Article 3(1) of the Information Society Directive 2001/29/EC, has been the focal point of extensive litigation, surpassing any other provision within European Union (EU) copyright legislation. Undertaking legal dogmatic research, this thesis seeks to delineate the scope of Arti
The Mediterranean subpopulation of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) is classified as Endangered by the IUCN, yet the western Ionian Sea, a key corridor connecting the eastern and western Mediterranean sub-populations, remains a data-poor region for cetacean monitoring. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) offers an effective approach for long-term surveillance of this deep-diving species, but la
The focus of this thesis is to examine how the civic identity of the second-generation migrants in Italy is constructed through media representations of migration, citizenship, and national belonging. Previous studies focused on migrants’ integration, which was based on their socio-economic situation, mobility, and assimilation process. I argue that these approaches are insufficient to explain how
Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an established treatment for previously unirradiated spinal metastases; however, the literature is limited with respect to SBRT as a re-irradiation salvage therapy. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis as basis for joint ESTRO-ISRS clinical practice recommendations of salvage SBRT for spinal metastases. Methods: A systematic review
Background and Aims: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) provides a non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy. This study evaluated the feasibility, safety, diagnostic yield (DY), and patient satisfaction of the OMOM CC100 CCE system, with special focus on fully remote (n = 30) and partially remote (n = 89) administration across four centres to advance decentralised models. Methods: This prosp
Illumination of dairy barns impacts animal health, milk production, and building energy efficiency. The aim of this study was to assess the existing daylighting and electric lighting conditions of dairy barns located in Southern Sweden. The study specifically examined how different architectural features impact the lighting environment, aiming to identify retrofit potentials in older barns and are
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is common among people with HIV (PWH), although studies comparing T2DM-related complications in people with and without HIV (PWoH) remain limited. This was assessed using data from the Cohort Study on Morbidity and HIV in Sweden (COSMOHS).METHOD: Nationwide study including Swedish residents born 1930-2006, diagnosed with T2DM between 2010 and 2019, follo
The construction industry is affected by several ongoing crises, derived from e.g. the climate emergency and geopolitical challenges. Thus, new thinking and novel business models are much needed. The major role of the construction industry in the climate energy and resource depletion calls for sustainable and circular business models specifically. Consequently, this study aims to develop a sustain
Stroke represents one of the most significant global health challenges of the 21st century, with 11.9 million people experiencing stroke annually and a disproportionate burden falling on low- and middle-income countries, where 87% of stroke deaths and 89% of disability occur. Despite stroke being highly preventable—with 84% of the burden attributable to modifiable risk factors—and the availability
BACKGROUND: Secondary peritonitis is a serious condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Its management requires emergency laparotomy for source control. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) and primary abdominal closure (PAC) are the main strategies for managing the laparostomy after source control. Despite the increasing use of VAC, concerns persist regarding its complications and long-term o
