Platser som har bevittnat några av historiens mest fruktansvärda händelser har blivit stora turistattraktioner, besökta av miljontals människor. Detta fenomen har populariserats under termen "Dark Tourism". Men hur behandlas egentligen det mörka arvet på dessa platser? Hur väljer de olika aktörerna att bruka, eller icke-bruka, sin tragiska historia för att sälja biljetter? Denna studie uFrom beach, sun and sex to death, disaster and misery - A study about the use of history within Dark Tourism. Sites that have witnessed some of history’s most horrific events have become major tourist attractions, visited by millions of people. This phenomenon has been popularized under the term 'Dark Tourism.' But how is the dark heritage of these places actually treated? How do the stak

The traditional water kettle, while functional, often struggles to adapt to the evolving needs of modern consumers and to integrate seamlessly into contemporary home environments. This thesis reimagines the kettle through a user-centric design approach, addressing limitations in usability and aligning with current and future consumer demands. Through observation, interviews, sketching, prototyping

I detta arbete har en Minimum viable product (MVP) för en applikation utvecklats, som gör det säkrare att avveckla och ta bort endpoints för ett REST API. Tidigare arbete har visat att hanteringen av avvecklingen av endpoints i REST API:er är ett problem, där REST API:er inte följer protokoll för avveckling och borttagning. Applikationen är gjord för att tillhandahålla ett enkelt sätt att övervakaIn this thesis - a Minimum viable product (MVP) for an application aimed at making deprecation and removal of REST API endpoints safer - was developed. Previous work has shown that handling deprecations and removal of endpoints in REST APIs is a problem, with REST APIs not following deprecation-removal protocols nor giving the API consumers the information needed to properly update their software.

What determines whether a change is meaningful or not, and how can it be assessed? Distribution-based methods of assessing meaningful change focuses on statistical significance, while anchor-based methods use other ways of measuring the same construct as the original scale (e.g., PHQ-9), such as expert assessments or other rating scales. This study intends to introduce and validate a novel way of

Poly- och perfluorerade alkylsubstanser, även kallade PFAS, är en grupp av kemikalier som har använts i ett flertal olika typer av produkter, bland annat brandskum. Dessa ämnen är särskilt problematiska eftersom de är svårnedbrytbara, vilket innebär att de kan finnas kvar i miljön under lång tid efter ett utsläpp. De kan också ha en relativt hög rörlighet i mark- och vattenmiljön, vilket innebär aPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a group of synthetic organic compounds that has been used in a wide range of products, including fire extinguishing foam which represents the greatest source in Sweden. Their chemical properties make them toxic for humans and most living species, although research is still on-going to determine the specific toxicity of each compound in the family. A la

Wilhelm Röpke was a german economist best known as one of the founders of ordoliberalism. After the second world war Röpke was instrumental in rebuilding the German economy, and he is therefore most of all known as an economic thinker. This thesis, however, is centered around his sociological and political thoughts, as well as his ideas on the economy. It examines the ideas presented in his 1941 w

Pollution and its impact on the environment is one of the greatest problems facing humanity today. Since the building sector is responsible for 40\% of the total carbon dioxide emissions, it is important to investigate the sector to see how emissions can be reduced. Due to timber having a smaller impact on the environment compared to steel and concrete, it is of substance to investigate the possib

This project is an exploration of what product longevity is, the role of the user and how to design for a desired behaviour. This project is conducted through two parts. The first part aims to learn from professionals in the field through a study trip to Stockholm and Östersund, whereas the second part presents a chance to portray these findings through the development of a physical object in co-o

In this thesis, a fault detection and diagnosis system is developed for the Crazyflie 2.1 unmanned aerial vehicle. Different types of faults are investigated and suitable methods and tests are implemented. The system is mainly developed for the lighthouse positioning, but the tests and methods are generic and suitable for other parts of the Crazyflie eco-system. For the faults investigated, differ

The “Endangered Oddballs” project addresses the pressing issue of biodiversity loss by using sculptures as a medium for raising awareness and funds for endangered species. Using a combination of artistic interpretation and scientific research to create a series of figures that accurately represent lesser- known endangered animals. The research method involves close observation and study of each sp

This thesis analyzes lived experiences from former juku students as well as promotional material produced by three shingakujuku (Nichinōken, Yotsuya Ōtsuka, Sapix) aimed at the private junior high school entrance examinations in Japan. The research questions aims to investigate the framing of the future and outcome of attending juku as well as how former students reflect on their own experience an

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition and poses a significant burden on public health. The underlying causes and mechanisms of depression remain poorly understood. There is a growing body of evidence linking microRNAs (miRNAs) to major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the causal relationship between miRNAs and MDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate t
