This thesis starts with an interest to explore how I, as an urban designer, can contribute to make the city centre of my hometown more enjoyable for its citizens and visitors. Growing up in Västerås, the city centre was a place of retail. You walked in the large-scale public realm, looking out for cars when crossing the streets, and visiting the large indoor malls. How can the city centre be impro
Följande studie är en fallstudie om implementering av AI för att driftoptimera styrsystem i kommersiella fastigheter, med fokus på fastighetsägares perspektiv. Studien har genomförts för att uppfylla två huvudsakliga syften. Del ett är att undersöka hur AI kan bidra till minskad energiförbrukning och förbättrad drift i kommersiella byggnader, och vilka incitament som finns för att implementera denThis study is a case study on the implementation of AI for optimizing building management systems in commercial real estate, with a focus on the perspective of property owners. The study addresses two main objectives. The first is to explore how AI can reduce energy consumption and improve building operations, as well as the incentives for adopting such technology. The second is to analyze the org
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is gaining popularity for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in urban contexts, but dense development obstructs the realisation of large-scale greening measures. This thesis investigates the potential of small-scale, site-specific urban greening in a residential area in Cologne, Germany, to improve ecosystem service supply. The objective is to as
During installation of firmware updates over the air, servers will usually collect data with statuscodes and information about the installation and update process. Given a large dataset with multiple installation steps, errors might occur occasionally dependant on outside factors such as internet connection, limited storage space or other issues that are not directly related to the stability of th
Vad kostar det om ett exploateringsprojekt stöter på oförutsedda problem kopplade till naturvärden som man måste ta hänsyn till vid en markexploatering? Hur kan naturvärden egentligen påverka den ekonomiska kalkylen i ett projekt om de dyker upp som en överraskning under projektutvecklingen? Intressant är även att undersöka om det med träffsäkerhet går att identifiera, men också att prissätta och What is the cost if a development project encounters unforeseen difficulties related to values in nature that must be considered during a land development? How can natural values affect the balance sheet of a project if they appear as a surprise during project development? It is also interesting to investigate whether it is possible or not to identify and price risks related to nature in the proje
Svenska kommuner befinner sig just nu i en ansträngd ekonomisk situation med både brist på ekonomiska resurser och personal. Samtidigt råder det en efterfrågan på bostäder och i 180 av 290 svenska kommuner råder det ett underskott på bostadsmarknaden. Till följd av den begränsade resurstillgången måste kommunerna därmed prioritera vilket innebär att de måste fördela sina resurser till det som anseSwedish municipalities are currently in a constrained economic situation with a shortage of both financial resources and personnel. The municipalities hold a zoning monopoly, and due to the limited financial resources they have to prioritize within their physical planning to ensure they allocate their resources on what is most important. The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of how
High-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) play an important role in mod- ern electronic systems, especially those systems that require high data rates and low power consumption. These converters are essential components in various applications, including telecommunications, medical imaging, radar systems, and wireless communication. This thesis explores four different dynamic comparators to en

The main aim of this study was to investigate how individual differences in second language linguistic factors affect cognitive control subcomponents based on controlling for non-linguistic factors. More specifically, while controlling cultural background, age and educational level, this study examined how the age of second language acquisition, second language proficiency, second language usage,
In 2015 Sweden received a substantial amount of refugees from the Middle East compared to other European countries, which caused debate concerning Sweden's refugee politics. Some political parties wanted to focus on helping in the nearby area instead of the refugees coming to Sweden. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 refugees fled to Sweden again. The discussions throughout the society at th
The main drivers of the alarming biodiversity decline are land use and land use change, primarily due to agriculture. It is therefore important to assess the impact on biodiversity caused by production of food and to do so, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method widely used. Since the UNEP-SETAC provisionally recommended the method by Chaudhary et al. (2015, updated 2018) for impact assessments o

Generally regarded as a sustainable country, Costa Rica faces the future challenge of maintaining their renewable energy performance amidst climate change impacts and the need to integrate intermittent renewables. This thesis explores the opportunities and barriers for Costa Rica to achieve 100% renewable electricity while maintaining energy security, despite its developing nation status. Through
Detta arbete handlar om transformation. Med utgångspunkt i de kulturhistoriskt värdefulla Lokstallarna i Malmö fick jag i uppdrag att varsamt anpassa och förän- dra denna plats till något jag ansåg skulle öka områdets värde och ge något positivt till Malmö stad i helhet. Något jag personligen alltid älskat med Malmö är hur staden värnar om och uppmuntrar kreativitet och skapelse. Utöver detta har
This thesis investigates the role of organizational culture, structure, and processes in the implementation of IT governance (ITG) within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In the context of rapidly evolving technological landscapes and regulatory environments, effective ITG is crucial for enhancing organizational capabilities and performance. The research addresses the gap in understandin
Ireland has experienced a rise in populism and social issues in recent years. By analysing the linkages between voting behaviour and social exclusion, critical underlying features of this shift may be identified. In this thesis, I investigate whether social exclusion has increased over time and whether this increase is associated with more support for Sinn Féin. I carry out this analysis using 10
I dagens samhälle präglas vår samtid av nyheter om krigsdrabbade områden och naturkatastrofer, vilket är två orsaker till att migrationen runt om i världen ökar. Människor förlorar sina hem och vissa är på ständig flykt. Detta är ett fruktansvärt öde som också bidrar till spridningen av sjukdomar som tidigare varit begränsade till vissa kontinenter. Chagas sjukdom, även känd som amerikansk trypaChagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by the triatomine bugs, commonly referred to as kissing bugs. It is the deadliest parasitic disease in South America but has spread beyond this region due to migration and climate change. Approximately 70 million people are at risk of infection, and there is no cure for the chronic phase of the disease. In prev
A great amount of financial statements of Swedish companies are registered with the Swedish companies registration office, Bolagsverket, as paper copies. These copies are then scanned and made available to the public as image-PDFs, meaning the financial information contained in them is not digitised and therefore not easily processed in an automated manner. Being able to do so, is valuable however
The purpose of this master thesis in practical theology is to investigate the reasons for choices of hymns made by parents baptising their children in the Church of Sweden. From earlier data on baptisms and hymns we do know which hymns are most commonly chosen, but no one to date has interviewed parents on their choices. The method used is semi structured interviews of eleven parents whose childre
Modern laws have established many protections for human rights; the difficulty now lies with enforcing them, and nowhere is this clearer than at sea. This thesis seeks to contribute to scholarship on this challenge by providing a case-study on the role of the European Union, as an innovative actor in global governance with unique capabilities, in protecting human rights in European and global fish
