The accelerating electrification of urban infrastructure and the transport sector is placing in- creasing stress on distribution grid capacity. Distribution system operators (DSOs) are in- creasingly challenged by infrastructure constraints that delay or prevent the connection of new customers. This thesis investigates the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a flexi- ble alternative to

Långsamfilter hjälper till att rena dricksvatten, men när cyanobakterier blommar upp kan de täppa till filtren och störa vattenreningen. Detta projekt ger nya insikter om vad som får cyanobakterierna att blomma i långsamfilter—vi vet nu att de kan växa på socker och att de kanske kan släppa ut fermenteringsämnen. Den vanliga uppfattningen är att cyanobakterier bara bedriver fotosyntes och fixerar Cyanobacteria are involved in nutrient cycling on global, ecosystem, and community scales by producing carbon sources for other organisms. However, recent studies indicate that their role might be more complex. In addition to primary production, many cyanobacteria can also consume carbon sources and secrete fermentation products, thereby impacting interactions with surrounding heterotrophic bacter

På bostadsmarknaden har hyrköp införts som en ny form av boende. Hyrköp går ut på att köparen under en tid hyr bostaden med en option om att köpa loss bostaden vid slutet av optionen. Denna upplåtelseform har hittills varit oreglerad enligt lag, vilket kan skapa osäkerhet. I synnerhet vid hyrköpsavtal med fast egendom där avtal om framtida köp enligt praxis inte är bindande. Inom riksdagen har det

India’s Female Labour Force Participation started declining from 2004-05 and fell from 42.74% in 2004-05 to 19.23% in 2021-22. However, in 2022-23, after the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Female Labour Force Participation rate was recorded at 28.26%. Against these circumstances, this thesis aims to characterize the nature of women's employment after the COVID-19 Pandemic. Furthermore, this thesis use

A growing proportion of families in Sweden are struggling to make enough money. According to a survey in 2023, families are having difficulty buying nutritious food, seasonal clothing or allowing their children to participate in leisure activities. However, everyone living in Sweden has, according to the Social Service Act, the right to a fair standard of living, and those in need can apply for fi

This thesis presents a quantitative analysis of the extent to which changes in regional rental housing costs influence internal net migration among young adults aged 20 to 29 across Sweden’s 21 counties between 2016 and 2024. Using a balanced panel dataset and a two-way fixed effects regression model, the study investigates whether rising rental prices constrain mobility into opportunity-rich but

This work applied Bayesian Optimization (BO) for the task of calibrating methane-related parameters in the Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS v4.1). A Gaussian Process (GP) was used as the surrogate model within the BO framework. Additionally, other enhancements we applied to the BO framework such as the use of complexity-penalizing priors for GP hyperparameters and numerical

To minimize the number of households affected by power outages during faults in the distribution grid, microgrids can be utilized to disconnect from the main grid and supply power locally. When disconnected from the main grid, these systems operate in \textit{island mode} and must remain self-sufficient for a few hours. However, for a fault occurrence within an islanded microgrid, traditional prot

This thesis examines how luxury branding elements are integrated into nation branding within luxury tourism. Using netnographic analysis of Switzerland’s and Dubai’s official tourism Instagram accounts and applying the Luxury Nation Branding Framework (LNBF), the study reveals how these countries use co-creation, emotional engagement, and symbolism to build strong luxury nation brands. The finding

The expanding market for psychometric tests faces challenges due to the spread of unvalidated tools. The adoption of popular but scientifically unsupported assessment tools can lead to ineffective hiring and misinformed decisions. This thesis aimed to evaluate and conduct a psychometric analysis of a commercially accessible forced-choice personality test - HumanGuide. Archival data (supplied by Hu

The existence of doubly charged Higgs bosons (H±±) is predicted by several theories beyond the Standard Model that aim to explain the origin of neutrino masses. These particles are expected to decay into same-sign lepton pairs H±± → ℓ±ℓ±. At the LHC, they are produced predominantly via the Drell–Yan process, resulting in four-lepton final states. Due to the rarity of events involving doubly charge

Grating-based X-ray interferometry is a promising imaging technique for visualizing soft biological tissues such as muscles or lungs, which are often difficult to distinguish using conventional absorption-based X-ray imaging. It enables the retrieval of absorption, 2 directional differential phase and dark field signal from a single shot measurement. In this work a single grating imaging experimen

I Tvååker, Halland drivs ett projekt som heter Naturplats Tvååkers Mosse. I denna naturplats ska ett antal informationsskyltar sättas upp för att informera besökare om landskapets utveckling sedan den senaste istiden. Detta arbete utgör grunden för den information som berör bildningen av ett antal ryggformer: en serie ändmoräner och en strandvall belägna kring projektplatsen. Frågorna på när och hIn Tvååker, Halland a project by the name of Naturplats Tvååkers Mosse is under development. The project is a nature area to be opened to the public, and is aimed to inform visitors of how the landscape has developed since the latest ice age. To do this, a number of signs are to be put up, including information for which this report serves as a basis. The report focuses on a number of landforms in

This thesis investigates the potential of manufacturing load-bearing free-form timber using a six-axis industrial robot. Free-form timber curvature in this context refers to timber planes that can rotate freely along x, y, and z axes, resulting in non-planar curvature forms. The motivation behind this thesis is to explore how renewable materials can be integrated with robotic fabrication to produc

As a solution to the problem of AI systems failing to detect critical health issues, the “Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence and amending Regulations”, later referred as “the AI Act”, was enacted. This study aims to gain a better understanding of the impact of the EU AI Act on medical compa

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.

Thermophilic microorganisms represent a promising but underexplored source of thermostable siderophores — iron-chelating metabolites with potential applications in bioremediation, agriculture, and medicine. This study investigated three thermophilic bacterial strains isolated from Icelandic hot springs for their ability to produce siderophores under iron-limited conditions. Fermentations were carr
