Vegetation phenology is closely affected by climate conditions and can be used to understand how vegetation responds to environmental change. While climate data describe the spatial distribution of climatic variables, satellite-derived phenological products can more directly characterize vegetation dynamics over large areas. This study used the Copernicus High Resolution Vegetation Phenology and P
Mellan 1983 och 2009 pågick en konflikt mellan de srilankesiska säkerhetsstyrkorna och den separatistiska organisationen Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) i den nordöstra delen av Sri Lanka. Konflikten resulterade i hundratusentals döda, försvunna, och internflyktingar. Sri Lankas muslimska minoritet hamnade i korselden, blev direkt måltavla för båda sidor i konflikten, och utförde hämndattaBetween 1983 and 2009, Sri Lanka’s northeast was ravaged by a conflict between the Sri Lankan security forces and the secessionist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The conflict resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, disappearances, and displacements. Sri Lanka’s Muslim minority was caught in the crossfire, directly targeted by both sides to the conflict, and attacked civilians in ret
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan studenters användning av stora språkmodeller inom högre utbildning och deras tankar kring användningens effekter på lärande. Genom att ta avstamp i en kvalitativ metod och semistrukturerade intervjuer undersöks ämnet via studenters självrapporterade användning av stora språkmodeller, eventuella tankar kring användningens effekter på lärande s
Wearable devices increasingly issue algorithmic verdicts on the body's recovery and readi-ness claims that may contradict what an athlete directly feels. This study examines how ama-teur endurance athletes make sense of the embodied rupture: the moment at which a weara-ble's recovery assessment conflicts with their own somatic knowledge. While Information Systems research has theorised how
The global decline of seagrass meadows has increased the need for effective restoration strategies, yet recovery is often limited by physical environmental stressors. This thesis investigates the hydrodynamic thresholds influencing seagrass seedling survival and recruitment along the Adelaide coastline in Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia. The study focuses on two sites with similar environmental
Climate modeling scenarios, despite covering a wide range of biogeophysical possibilities for future climate change, remain sociopolitically narrow. This is particularly the case in climate mitigation, where green-growth driven negative emissions technologies are considered key to achieving climate mitigation goals like the Paris Agreement warming target. Building on the degrowth and postgrowth cl
AI-Assisted and Semi-Autonomous tools are becoming relevant for enterprises. The adoption of these tools requires understanding how different practitioners perceive and use them responsibly in their organizations. This thesis examines how enterprise software development practitioners govern AI-assisted and semi-autonomous tools in everyday development workflows. As these tools increasingly support
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are central to the digital transformation of healthcare and are intended to support coordination, documentation, and access to patient information across healthcare settings. However, technical interoperability does not necessarily mean that exchanged information is usable in clinical work. This thesis examines how healthcare professionals experience the interopera
As data generation accelerates globally, organizations accumulate vast amounts of unused information, commonly referred to as dark data. While dark data is widely recognized as holding potential decision value, it persistently remains inaccessible, revealing a paradox between perceived importance and practical neglect. This study examines how organizations in Sweden make dark data accessible for d
Bakgrund På grund av den rådande klimatkrisen måste Sverige göra omfattande klimatanpassningar för att skydda sig mot kommande och nuvarande effekter av klimatförändringarna. Ansvaret för arbetet tillfaller för det mesta Sveriges kommuner genom bland annat planmonopolet. Kommunerna kan söka finansiering för dessa typer av åtgärder genom matchade statsbidrag. Däremot är bidragsprocessen för de svenIn response to growing risks associated with climate change, Sweden must address the need for climate change adaptations. A central actor in addressing this is Swedish municipalities, due to their local planning monopoly and their ability to identify risks associated with local geographical conditions. However, studies have shown that there are several obstacles within the process of adapting to c
As the need to limit the effect of climate change gets stronger, the transition to sustainable energy solutions becomes very important. Solar thermal energy and green hydrogen production represent two quite promising sustainable fields towards decarbonizing industrial processes and energy sectors. This thesis presents an extensive simulation and performance analysis of a solar thermal energy syste
Malaria remains a major public health concern in Sudan, where transmission is influenced by climate variability, environmental conditions, population displacement, conflict, and disruptions to healthcare services. Using ERA5 climate data, a Climate Suitability Index (CSI) was developed to evaluate the climatic suitability for Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Sudan between 2000 and 2024. Annua
This Master’s thesis in Library and Information Science examines, using critical discourse analysis as both theory and method, the discourse surrounding the Swe-dish Library Act. The study is based on an analysis of the two Swedish library journals Biblioteksbladet and Tidskriften bis, and explores how the role and re-sponsibilities of libraries are constructed within professional discourse. Drawi
In this thesis, I examine the datafication of football through the lens of document theory. From this perspective, I view data as necessarily material, social and cognitive. The aim of the thesis is to (1) increase the understanding of how the intensified quantification of sport shapes fans’ interaction with it and (2) to bridge a gap between document theory, as a part of library and information s
The academic librarian’s mission of facilitating free access to knowledge has endured even as forms of librarianship have evolved. Since the introduction of the internet and the subsequent shift from physical to digital knowledge dissemination, additional ethical and practical considerations have emerged. One such consideration is the existence of black open access and shadow libraries, born out o
On November 26, 2025, a fire broke out at Wang Fuk Court, a densely populated residential complex in Tai Po, Hong Kong, eventually claiming 168 lives. As official emergency systems were overwhelmed, volunteers created a parallel digital coordination effort of remarkable scale: a Google Spreadsheet listing residents and pets, a Telegram group of over 18,000 members maintaining text-format missing p
Denna studie analyserar upplevelser och erfarenheter av tillgänglighet och möjligheten till delaktighet på olika former av mötesplatser för personer med neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder. Analysen har haft sin utgångspunkt i Axel Honneths teori om erkännande för att belysa aspekter av möjligheter och förklaringar som ligger utanför individen. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och har gjorts genom å
Sverige står inför rättsliga utmaningar i takt med en växande gängkriminalitet där allt yngre barn rekryteras för att utföra brott kopplade till narkotika, vapen och våld. Således förväntas en sänkt straffbarhetsålder, från 15 år till 13 år, träda i kraft i juli 2026, vilket innebär att fler minderåriga kommer häktas. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur kriminalvårdare, utifrån sitt handlingsutr
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made, highly persistent and mobile compounds that have been extensively used in decades, for example as a fire repellent in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). They have been detected in soil, surface water and groundwater, where they pose risks to human health through contamination of drinking water supplies and to ecosystems. In this case study, PFAS spread
The role of diversity for the stability of ecosystems is a field traditionally focused on species diversity, rather than diversity within species. This study concerns the latter by investigating the spatial and temporal synchrony and abundance trends within the metapopulation of anadromous sea trout (Salmo trutta) in Scania, Sweden, that are brought up in different nursey streams but share the sam
