Southern Scandinavian and Scanian settlement archaeology has in the past four decades been able to highlight overarching shifts in prehistoric and especially Iron Age settlement organisation, and thus developed methods of rigorous typo-chronological analyses. Within the past two decades several publications by Late Iron Age scholars have under the influence of household archaeology emphasised the
Food consumption is one of the largest contributors to household environmental impacts and plays a central role in climate change, resource use, and biodiversity loss. Although many consumers express positive attitudes toward sustainable consumption, previous research shows that purchasing decisions are often driven by price, habits, and convenience rather than environmental concerns. This study t
In post-genocide Rwanda, women’s claims to land, inheritance and household resources became central to processes of family and institutional reconstruction. Law No. 22/99, adopted in 1999, strengthened women’s formal inheritance and property rights in a context where female-headed households had become more visible and where land remained a key source of household welfare. Against this background,
Linux-based embedded systems are often deployed for long periods, updated in the field, and expected to remain trustworthy under limited maintenance. Secure boot can protect the startup process by verifying software before execution, but practical secure boot depends on more than boot-time signature checks. Trust anchors, key material, provisioning steps, update mechanisms, and release artifacts m
Renewable electricity generation and green hydrogen production are a growing industry where water electrolysis generates significant amounts of waste heat. Recovering and selling this heat to district heating networks can add a cost-effective and low-carbon alternative to the existing generation units. This research evaluates the operational, economic, and environmental benefits of waste heat inte
This thesis evaluates whether statistical moments can be used to identify oscillatory wingbeat signals in entomological Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. The LiDAR data analyzed in this thesis was acquired using a Scheimpflug LiDAR configuration in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast during four days at a rice/tomato field, yielding more than 300 000 insect observations in total. The statistical mom
This thesis explores how visibilisation, sexualisation, and humanisation works in parapole, which refers to pole dance performed by people with disabilities. These three themes are explored as binaries which this thesis deconstructs and problematises. As a generally highly sexualised sport, pole dance provides an interesting basis for analysis of the visuality of people with disabilities, as peopl
In the current era of worsening climate impacts on a global scale the drive for sustainable solutions to address the climate crisis has increased across all levels of governance. Globally cities house most of the population leading to significant impacts on the environment with urban mobility representing one of the major sources of GHG emissions. As cities start to implement solutions to address
River water levels and river discharge are key hydrological variables for flood risk assessment, water resource management, drought monitoring and climate change research. However, in-situ river measurements are lacking, and globally many rivers remain ungauged. Satellite altimetry offers an alternative approach to water surface measurement by providing river observations from space. The Surface W
This thesis examines the electrification of district heating in Greater Copenhagen, focusing on how key actors perceive the system’s future and which constraints hinder the scaling of electrified district heating. It adopts a qualitative single-case study design, drawing on interviews, recordings, and reports. The analysis is informed by Large Technical Systems theory, particularly the concept of
This thesis examines the shift in poetic authority from W.B. Yeats to Seamus Heaney through a comparative close reading of four poems: Yeats’s “To Ireland in the Coming Times” (1892) and “Easter, 1916” (1916), and Heaney’s “Digging” (1964) and “From the Frontier of Writing” (1985). Both poets are canonical figures in the Irish literary tradition, yet their positions within Irish history differ. Ye
This thesis examines the effect of Syrian refugee exposure on the fertility rates of native Danish women, using the large-scale Syrian refugee inflow 2015 and the Danish refugee dispersal policy as the basis for the empirical analysis. Employing a difference-in-difference design, the study investigates both the overall effect on native fertility rates from Syrian refugee inflows, and the mechanism
This thesis examines how biodiversity policy ambitions and scientific biodiversity knowledge can be translated into practical site-level actions within an industrial context. The research was conducted in collaboration with Volvo Group, specifically Volvo Trucks Tuve, focusing on biodiversity measurement methods, organisational readiness, and the development of operational biodiversity strategies.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) generation resulting from rapid digitization and increasing electronic device use poses significant environmental and public health risks, particularly in developing countries. In response, Nigeria established an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programme for WEEE, which is currently being implemented. However, its effectiveness in achieving i
Apartments function both as consumption goods and as leveraged financial assets, making the understanding of their price determinants relevant to households, investors, and policymakers. While machine learning studies have demonstrated strong predictive performance using property-specific and spatial characteristics, less is known about whether macroeconomic variables capture time-series variation
Nyckeln till ett starkt projekt är ett starkt koncept. Möjligheterna att gestalta ett konceptro- get projekt beror på resurserna tillgängliga för arkitekten. Alla gestaltningsprocesser har sina begränsningar, och detta examensprojekt består av ett transformationsprojekt där det enda som begränsar konceptet är jag själv, och en existerande lada. I nästan ett år har jag jobbat praktiskt med transf
Financial markets rarely behave as the textbooks describe them, and oil markets during 2022-2026 are an extreme case: an invasion, a managed supply response, and a tariff-driven shock in close succession produced one of the most turbulent stretches in the modern history of WTI crude oil. Whether the tools researchers have relied on in calmer periods, including the belief that news sentiment carrie
Climate change is escalating wildfire risk across Ontario, Canada, which has led to growing calls for a shift towards more proactive wildfire management. To better understand the current context, this thesis provides an overview of challenges to wildfire preparedness across different levels and domains of Ontario. Fourteen professionals with diverse wildfire-related backgrounds were interviewed, r
