Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges ever. Climate change and global warming is a great risk and our consumption and dependency of fossil fuel are important causes of this accelerating issue. My thesis aims to design an entry for the professional debate about what urban areas in a fossil free future might be like. I’m investigating how an urban environment that requires as little tra
The Rohingya crisis is a profound human rights and humanitarian disaster, representing one of the most severe contemporary instances of statelessness. This condition is characterised by the systematic denial of nationality and fundamental rights, largely facilitated by Myanmar's discriminatory state-institutionalised practices and its Citizenship Law of 1982, which excludes the Rohingya from r
In the West Bank, a context of protracted displacement and institutional fragmentation, internally displaced persons remain structurally excluded from both humanitarian and national protection systems. Amid fragmented aid architecture and legal ambiguity, the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus has been promoted as a framework for institutional coherence. Yet, it remains mired in a contested spac
As global supply chains become increasingly vulnerable due to geopolitical instability, rising protectionism, and sustainability pressures, the trend of reshoring has emerged as a strategic response among multinational enterprises (MNEs). This thesis explores the drivers behind the reshoring decisions of seven Swedish MNEs and examines the entry modes (EMs) through which these firms implement thei
In Sweden, climate projections indicate longer growing seasons with more frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and heavy rainfall, posing significant challenges to existing crop systems. Simultaneously, the sector is under growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, especially in response to agricultural nutrients runoff contributing to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.
The chirality-flow formalism has proven to simplify the calculations of helicity amplitudes to the extent that the matrix element corresponding to a Feynman diagram can immediately be written down. It has also shown to speed up the computation of scattering amplitudes through numerical implementations in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. In this thesis we investigate if automated computation of amplitudes can be
The transition to renewable energy is a critical element in global efforts to combat climate change. This study explores the decarbonization pathway for Peru’s energy sector, emphasizing renewable energy integration in the electricity generation sector. Peru's rich renewable resources—hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal and biomass—highlight its potential as a regional leader in sustainable en
In this project I investigate how architecture can give form to an institution that creates the conditions for negotiation between competing narratives. It is situated at Sillhovstomten, the contested site behind the Nationalmuseum in central Stockholm. The failed Nobel Center proposal on this site revealed that it is not an empty void awaiting to be filled, but a place where different political,
Background: Dietary management of phenylketonuria (PKU) focuses on restricting phenylalanine (Phe) intake. The European PKU guidelines and the PKU Dietary Handbook recommend a simplified PKU diet, allowing unrestricted consumption of many low-Phe foods, called free foods. While this approach may reduce the treatment burden for patients, its implementation varies. This study investigated practi
Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco-evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological, evolutionary, and dietary diversity. Yet, avian micr
Global manufacturing companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex environments where changes in sourcing strategies, supplier structures and logistics networks create significant challenges for decision- making. Traditional analytical methods often struggle to capture the dynamic and interconnected nature of modern supply chains, limiting their ability to support proactive evaluation
Under sen Trias inträffade flera globala miljöförändrigar, inclusive klimatinstabilitet, och den mest markanta var det biotiska utdöendet vid Norian-Rhaetian-gränsen (NRB). Stora karbonatplattformar etablerades längs tethyshavet och exporterade periodvis karbonat-sediment till det angränsade havsbottnet, särskilt på bathyalt djup. Petrografisk analys av elva prover från sex density flow-avlagringaDuring the late Triassic period several global environmental changes took place, including climate instability, and the most distinctive one was the biotic extinction at the Norian – Rhaetian boundary (NRB). Large carbonate platforms were established along the Tethys ocean and periodically exported carbonate sediments to the adjacent ocean floor, and especially at the bathyal depth. Petrographic
The aim of this study is to analyse the Swedish national curriculum from a Marxist perspective. I aim to examine how a Marxist reading can aid in our understanding of not only the document itself and the ideological views portrayed in it, but also the implications this has for English teachers in Sweden today. The schooling which takes place in classrooms, as well as outside of them, is political
Augmented Reality (AR) är på uppgång och många företag lägger miljontals dollar i branschen. Både Google och Apple har nyligen släppt sina egna AR SDK’er som kommer att köras på miljontals enheter inom en snar framtid. AR är verkligen fascinerande och har sagts vara nästa miljard-industri. Målet med denna avhandling är att undersöka vad som är möjligt med dagens AR för mobila enheter och undersökaAugmented Reality (AR) is on the rise and a lot of companies put millions of dollars into the industry. Both Google and Apple have recently released their own AR SDKs that will run on millions of devices in the near future. AR is really fascinating and have been said to be the next multi-billion-dollar industry. The goal of this thesis is to explore what is possible with today’s AR and what are th
Innovation är ett vidkänt koncept som har fått ökad betydelse i dagens organisationer. Uppmärksamhet har framförallt riktats till de initiala faserna av innovationsprocessen, kallade Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Att hantera FFE effektivt har blivit nödvändigt i utvecklingen av nya innovativa produkter, eftersom det kan minska cykeltider och kostnader relaterat till produktutvecklingen. Det är dock svårtInnovation is a widely known concept which has received increased importance in today's organizations. Attention has especially been directed to the initial phases of the innovation process, commonly referred to as the Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Managing the FFE effectively, has become essential in the development of innovative products, since it can reduce cycle times and costs related to product
Achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends on timely and reliable information. However, standardized methodologies and regularly available data exist for only 40% of the 232 indicators. The “Data Revolution for Sustainable Development” is supposed to bridge these data gaps by harnessing ongoing developments in information technology, particularly big data. Currently existing pil
Thesis Purpose: This thesis investigates users of crowdfunding platforms in order to further the insight into understanding what affects their motives and behaviour. The relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as well as peer influence is investigated. Theoretical Perspective: This study is grounded on the limited theories surrounding crowdfunding and crowdsourcing, as well as rele
This thesis is about the licensing system of the Creative Commons discussed from the perspective of the theory of the commons mostly as formulated by Elinor Ostrom. The work is started by describing the concepts and theory of common pool resources and regime of the commons for production and distribution of these resources. The main characteristics for successful traditional commons – efficiency,
Background: Since the publication of the EULAR recommendations for the management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) in 2016, several randomised clinical trials have been published that have the potential to change clinical care and support the need for an update. Methods: Using EULAR standardised operating procedures, the EULAR task force undertook a systema
