Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) for hazardous materials facilities remains dominated by event tree partitioning into discrete scenarios, with many calculations performed manually. This study formalizes the classical individual and societal risk metrics within the framework of probability theory. The resulting framework enables deeper theoretical inquiry and makes underlying assumptions explicit.
Det kraftigt förändrade omvärldsläget och den nu förändrade miljön som Sveriges armé förväntas agera i ställer allt högre krav på tillgängligheten hos arméns tekniska system. En möjlig lösning för att underlätta planering och genomförande av underhåll är användningen av digitala beslutsstödsystem. Den här studien utforskar vilka funktionaliteter som bör finnas i ett beslutsstödsystem som är anpassThe significantly altered global security environment and the changing operational context in which the Swedish Army is expected to act place increasing demands on the availability of the Army’s technical systems. One possible solution to facilitate the planning and execution of maintenance is the use of digital decision support systems. This study explores which functionalities should be included
Transforming our economy from linear to circular requires new types of businesses in the manufacturing sector, material flows change from global to local. Our cities need to make room for manufacturing again, to repair, upcycle, design, make, resell, and produce local solutions. This presents an urban design challenge, how does a manufacturing area fit in to the climate adapted city needed to redu
This thesis focuses on developing energy barrier models that increase photovoltaic hot carrier extraction efficiency. Hot carriers are electrons containing an excess of kinetic energy and the energy required to leave the valence band. In mitigating losses and increasing the efficiency of solar cells, hot carriers offer the opportunity to extract this kinetic energy. The study of extracting the kin
Mantelplymhypotesen har varit föremål för omfattande debatt under lång tid, ända sedan den publicerades 1971. Denna hypotes förklarar vulkanismens ursprung genom antagandet att ett extremt varmt mantelmaterial stiger upp under litosfären genom smala kanaler. Hypotesen har accepterats av geologer och har använts för att förklara vulkanism på platser som Hawaii och Island. Trots detta har hypotesen The mantle plume hypothesis has been a subject of extensive debate since its initial publication in 1971. This hypothesis posits that volcanism originates from narrow channels of exceptionally hot mantle material rising from the deep mantle to the lithosphere. While some geologists have historically supported this idea, it has encountered significant challenges, particularly in explaining the volc
This thesis investigates everyday misrecognition of Roma flower-sellers in Istanbul’s Ataşehir district, focusing on how they navigate ethnically mixed neighborhoods and workplaces. Drawing on Honneth’s recognition theory, Giles’s critique, and Gramsci’s cultural hegemony, it examines how racialization and normative discrimination shape daily interactions. Based on one month of ethnographic fieldw
Self-supervised learning has become an important approach for machine learning in remote sensing, where large amounts of unlabeled satellite data exist but only lim- ited labeled datasets are available. Contrastive methods such as SimCLR have been adapted to multimodal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery, but current SimCLR-based approaches rely on deterministic embeddings and therefore lack the abi
Denna studie undersökte ungdomars erfarenheter av viktmobbning i en svensk skolkontext, samt hur ungdomar upplever skolans strategier för att hantera viktmobbning och vilka insatser de önskar att skolan hade vidtagit. Eftersom tidigare forskning som fokuserar på själva upplevelsen av viktmobbning är begränsad, gjordes en explorativ kvalitativ studie där en kritisk realistisk position intogs för atThe aim of this study was to investigate adolescents’ experiences of weight- related bullying in a Swedish school context, how they experience the schools’ strategies for weight-related bullying and which actions they wished the schools had taken. Since previous research on the subject is limited, an explorative qualitative study was conducted in which a critical realist position was adopted. The
This thesis addresses a challenge in continuous high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): ensuring reliable, timely supply of buffer solutions. As biopharmaceutical production increasingly moves toward continuous operation, buffer management becomes critical, since chromatography requires multiple buffer types with precise compositions for washing, elution, equilibration, and regeneration. In
Varumärkesrätten är ett område i ständig förändring. Detta är ett direkt resultat av att rättsområdet anpassar sig efter teknikutveckling och idéströmningar i omvärlden. I takt med att immateriella rättigheter får ett allt större värde ökar även incitamenten för andra aktörer att själva dra fördel av etablerade varumärkens renommé eller att bruka liknande varukännetecken på ett sätt som skadar detTrademark law is a legal field in constant change. This is a direct result of its adaptation to technical progress and ideological currents in the world. Intellectual properties are growing increasingly more important as independent assets and entails great values. This development increases the incentives for third party-actors to impermissibly use established brands’ reputation for their own gai
I ett samhälle i kontinuerlig utveckling som kräver expansion och effektiva lösningar och har stora stadskärnor med kulturhistoriskt värdefull bebyggelse kan det finnas en inneboende konflikt mellan stadsförnyelse och bevarande av kulturhistoria. Äldre byggnader som är en del av Sveriges levande historia kan utgöra både hinder och möjligheter i nuvarande stadsförnyelse. Ett arv som inte bör rensasThis report explores how a renovation of a heritage building in Malmö performs according to thermal comfort and daylight conditions with challenges related to conservation requirements and modern building standards. The goal is to analyse a presented floor plan to see what conflicts arise between Swedish building law and regulations, and efforts to modernise aging culturally important buildings. T
Justitiedepartementet publicerade ett utkast till lagrådsremiss den 24 september 2025 som kompletterar SOU 2025:11 där det föreslås att straffbarhetsåldern i Sverige ska sänkas till 13 år vid allvarliga brott. FN:s barnrättskommitté har i sina allmänna kommentarer uppmuntrat Sverige att behålla straffbarhetsåldern på 15 år samt uttalat att de anser att system med undantag från den standardiserade On the 24th of September 2025, the Ministry of justice in Sweden published a draft legislative referral that supplements SOU 2025:11, which proposes lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 13 years for serious offences. The CRC has, in its general comments, encouraged Sweden to maintain the age of criminal responsibility at 15 years. They have also stated that systems allowing exceptions t
When applying Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithms which utilizes Gaussian processes (GP) models, several components can be adapted to suit different systems and optimization objectives. In this paper, we explore and evaluate a set of such modifications to tailor the algorithm for a high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) system. The system is represented by a steady-state simulator modeling the HPGR
Vårdgivares förståelse av psykiatriska tillstånd har föreslagits hänga samman med deras stigma gentemot personer med sådana tillstånd. Detta stigma kan yttra sig genom förminskande beteenden, uteslutning från beslutsprocesser och försämrade terapeutiska relationer. Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida det finns en relation mellan psykiatrisk profession, attributionella ramverk och stigma gentemot perMental health professionals’ understanding of psychiatric conditions has been proposed to relate to their stigma toward individuals with such diagnoses. Such stigma may manifest through dismissive behavior, exclusion from decision-making and weakened therapeutic relationships. This thesis investigates whether psychiatric profession, attributional frameworks, and stigma toward ADHD, anxiety disorde
This study investigates, through the lens of the humanistic vita with its historiobiographical structure, how Claes Örnhielm, in Vita Ponti de la Gardie, formulates a systematic response to contemporary accusations concerning the legitimacy of the De la Gardie family’s noble origins. Through an integrated examination of the work’s frontispiece, genealogical diagram, textual genealogy and wider nar
This thesis explores the difference between how moral realists and moral error theorists relate to moral intuitions in metaethical theory building. While moral realists claim Moorean arguments in their favour, arguments based around a highly intuitive Moorean premise, error theorists claim that a moral premise being intuitive is not the same as it being true. Error theorists use debunking argument
Rapid population growth, climate variability, and limited hydrogeological data create uncertainty for groundwater decisions in Rwanda. Kadiridimba catchment was selected as a case study to develop a groundwater model, test what can be concluded under these constraints, and identify the measurements that most strengthen confidence in the results and assumptions. The aim was to develop and evaluate
The inefficacy problem refers to the paradox in collective harm problems where effects of individual actions appear too small to make a moral difference, albeit aggregated they cause great harm. This thesis will argue that the inefficacy problem derives its strength from the thought experiments commonly used to theorize, structure and understand the collective harm problem of climate change. By re
Molecular “muscle” fibres built from light-driven motors promise controllable, contractile soft materials, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms causing macroscopic motion remain elusive, hindering effective design and tuning. Here, we develop a multiscale simulation workflow that connects atomistic chemistry to supramolecular mechanics across single molecules, fibres, and multi-fibre assemblies
