Photonics technologies play a crucial role in driving technological advancements within the agrifood industry, aiming to deliver a sustainable food and agriculture, and offering healthy, nutritious and safe food for all of us. Particularly, optical sensors and imaging systems, together with machine-learning processing and advanced lighting, play a pivotal role in monitoring crop and soil health wi
Den ökande andelen variabla förnybara energikällor i det svenska elsystemet har medfört ett växande behov av flexibilitet och balanstjänster. Batterienergilagringssystem betraktas som en nyckelteknik för att möta dessa behov, men deras ekonomiska lönsamhet är i hög grad beroende av marknadens utformning, geografisk placering samt vald operativ strategi. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att analysThe increasing share of variable renewable energy sources in the Swedish power system has led to growing demand for flexibility and balancing services. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are widely regarded as a key technology to meet these needs, yet their economic viability depends strongly on market design, geographical location, and operational strategy. This thesis assesses the revenue pot
Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om när sjukdom kan utgöra sakliga skäl för uppsägning enligt 7 § lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS). Utgångspunkten i svensk arbetsrätt är att sjukdom i sig inte utgör grund för uppsägning. Syftet är därför att klarlägga under vilka förutsättningar sjukdom ändå kan leda till en rättsenlig uppsägning. Uppsatsen bygger på en rättsdogmatisk metod där lagtext, föThis essay examines under what circumstances illness may constitute objective grounds for dismissal under Chapter 7, Section 1 of the Swedish Employment Protection Act (1982:80). The starting point in Swedish labour law is that illness as such does not justify dismissal. The purpose of the study is therefore to clarify the legal conditions under which illness may nonetheless result in a lawful ter
In this work, we introduce novel techniques for adapting the SCA-LDPC framework to NTRU-style Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs). Our approach significantly reduces the required measurements compared to prior analyses under similar oracle noise, validated through extensive simulations, and shows robustness against decision errors in the constructed oracle. Furthermore, we present the first docume
In this work, we introduce novel techniques for adapting the SCA-LDPC framework to conduct efficient plaintext-checking (PC) oracle-based side-channel attacks on NTRU-style Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs). We specifically address the unique algebraic structure of the NTRU and NTRU Prime schemes, demonstrating how to extract information related to secret variables from side channels and modeled
To meet national and international emission targets, the Swedish building sector needs to drastically reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, and to do so, a change in building techniques and materials is needed. Bio-based materials contribute to less emissions than conventional materials, like steel and concrete, but remain rather unknown to modern building sciences.

Decarbonizing the existing building stock is essential, especially as buildings in the EU (85% built before 2000) account for a third of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines adaptive reuse of underutilized structures as a sustainable alternative to demolition and new construction. It addresses the surplus of redundant buildings, driven partly by needs for heritage conservat
Much foundational work in Sociology of Law (SoL) has considered the role of law in society as well as the role of society in law. This duality has opened for nuanced accounts of the impact of formal law (referred as legal norms herein) by empirically studying formal laws and everyday interactions making up various social norms which may at times align with one another or be in conflict. Recently,
Efforts were first made in the 1950s to regulate fire growth through the building codes. These efforts were limited to controlling the flame spread and smoke developed from the burning of the interior finish (walls and ceiling) of structures. They also included provisions for the fire resistance of walls and floors (and roofs) in some of these same structures. In the United States, the regulations
Rising populations are placing significant strain on traditional waste management, prompting the need for circular systems in urban projects to recycle valuable nutrients from wastewater. Introducing a biorefinery framework, microalgae cultivation on digestate effluents produces pigments for natural dyes, reducing nutrient release and offering eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic products. Succe
Background: We aimed to determine corticosteroid (CS) use in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD, < 18 years), which remains common despite recommendations for limited use and the emergence of steroid-sparing therapies. Methods: We conducted a study of all children in Sweden diagnosed with CD (n = 2460) or UC (n = 2470) in 2006–2022. Nationwide health registers provided annual individual-l
GOALS: To assess the incidence, type, and severity of infections in patients with IBD before and after starting thiopurine therapy.BACKGROUND: Thiopurines have been used for decades in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet real-world data regarding the extent and types of infections associated with their use are scarce.STUDY: We included all thiopurine-naive adults with IBD who in
ObjectivePediatric cancer patients are at increased risk for sleep disturbances; however, there are no clinical practice guidelines for treating sleep disturbances in pediatric oncology, resulting in variable approaches to sleep management across clinicians. The current study surveyed clinicians regarding their approaches to assessing and treating sleep.MethodsA total of 200 pediatric oncology cli
Daylight is crucial for the well-being of individuals in indoor environments, providing numerous physiological and psychological benefits. Achieving satisfactory daylight levels can be particularly challenging during adaptive reuse of existing buildings for new purposes. This study determined the feasibility of adapting an office for residential use by assessing interior daylight availability and
Background: We aimed to assess the risk of serious infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exposed to different advanced therapies. Methods: We linked nationwide registers and compared rates of incident serious infections in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) exposed to medical therapies versus matched general population comparators during 2007-2023
This paper presents an initial technology assessment of the suitability of using aluminium as an energy carrier in shipping. The overall conclusion is that aluminium may become a suitable future energy carrier. Several advantages of using aluminium exist, including high theoretical energy densities, high resource availability, opportunity for circularity, and future potential for low lifecycle envThis paper presents an initial technology assessment of the suitability of using aluminium as an energy carrier in shipping.
