Går det att simulera hur en mikrofonport påverkar en inbyggd mikrofons ljudupptagningsförmåga? Det kan vara komplicerat att förstå hur utformningen på en mikrofonport påverkar ljudet som en mikrofon uppfattar, även de minsta förändringarna påverkar! Mikrofonporten är den lilla öppningen i höljet av en produkt, så som en telefon eller dator, som tillåter ljudvågor att nå produktens inbyggda mikroThe aim of this Master’s thesis project was to investigate whether it would be possible to simulate, using either Boundary Element Method (BEM) or Lumped Element Method (LEM) modelling, how microphone port design impacts an embedded microphone’s ability to capture sound accurately. The project utilized Design of Experiments (DoE) methodology. Key design parameters impacting the performance of an

This thesis explores how public spaces are emotionally and socially experienced through introducing the concept of affective publicness, which is a framework for understanding the emotional and relational dynamics that shape urban public spaces. Departing from the theoretical frame of emotional geography and affective urbanism, the research investigates how affective publicness is felt and shaped

Heading: Swedish municipalities embrace the challenge of determining whether new nuclear power is the carbon-free energy solution they need and want Introduction: New nuclear power has become a hopeful energy frontrunner for numerous Swedish municipalities due to increased need for energy access in Sweden and the ever prevalent need for fossil-free energy. This study explores municipal percepSwedish municipalities are placed in a decision-making position as the nation looks to bolster the nation's energy strategy with increased nuclear power. New nuclear power is posed as an exciting potential solution to the energy crisis and the need for more decarbonized energy sources. New nuclear power also consists of uncertainty, emerging technologies, and planning difficulties. This thesis

This paper looks at two governance challenges that sit behind global commitments to deliver ‘cities without slums’: under what conditions can participatory ideals be successfully transferred to housing redevelopment programmes, and under what conditions can participatory slum redevelopment trigger wider shifts towards inclusive urban governance? It does so by examining Indian national slum redevel

The growing emphasis on affordable housing and the sharp increase in its supply in Indian cities over the past two decades is characterised by two features that diminish the inclusive and integrative role of affordable urban housing. The first is the move toward constructing new housing stock rather than upgrading existing stock. Second, most of this new housing, increasingly in the form of multi-

Expanded state-subsidised housing programmes in middle-income countries raise questions about the displacement and socio-spatial marginalisation of poor households. Examining these questions through people’s experiences of resettlement indicates the importance of mobility to their lives. Drawing on a mixed-method comparative study of Ahmedabad, Chennai and Johannesburg, we ask: How does the reloca

This paper addresses an important, but under-studied, pathway for knowledge production in the field of urban planning: the practitioner engaging with academia through the writing of a PhD. Drawing on our own experiences of doctoral mentoring, in dialogue with PhD candidates, we reflect on the questions and challenges this form of knowledge production raises. The paper aims to extend planning theor

Long-standing questions about the production and control of knowledge about 'the developing world' have been given new urgency through the deployment of impact-evaluation practices within UK universities, highlighting the need for careful ethical reflection on the role of Northern researchers in both academia and practice. In this context, this article takes up the three underlying themes of this

Far beyond its innocence, children and child welfare initiatives have emerged as powerful symbols in Indonesian political campaigns. This research focuses on Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto, showing how their use of initiatives like Smart Card and Free Lunch Program projected legitimacy and garnered votes during the 2014, 2019, and 2024 elections. It uses two main methods: reflexive thematic anal

In this study, we focused on highlighting the importance of relationships between the professional and the client in HVB. The aim was to investigate how the relationship could contribute to preventing recidivism in adolescents and young adults. The study was qualitative and based on our semi-structured interviews to get in-depth reflections and experiences of their work. We used a purposive sampli

The removal and neglect of climate policies - a process known as climate policy dismantling (CPD) - both nationally and internationally, is a growing field of critical climate research that has significant implications for long-term climate adaptation globally. Climate activists on social media have the potential to be both influential and representative of wider CPD discourse, and so provide an i

As the urgency of addressing climate change intensifies, innovative financial instruments are needed to align capital markets with sustainability goals. This thesis explores the concept of the \textit{transition linker}, a hypothetical performance-linked sovereign bond whose cash flows depend on greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contributions under

De tidigaste bevarade svensk-norska dokumenten om Lappmarken skrevs på 1300-talet, och därefter finns ett växande historiskt källmaterial som förser med en relativt tydlig bild av samernas rättigheter genom tiderna. Statens intressen förändrades med industrialiseringens framväxt, och avvittringen av Lappmarkerna påbörjades. Samiska försörjningssätt urholkades av staten under 1880-talet, och LappmaThe Sámi people's legal history can be found in written documents dating back as far as the 14th century. With industrialization, the State’s priorities underwent significant changes, and land that had once held little value to the State was now seen as economically beneficial. It was made clear that land traditionally used by the Sámi population belonged to the State. The Reindeer Grazing Act

Utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens har fört med sig betydande utveckling inom flera fält, men även stora utmaningar. En av dessa utmaningar visar sig i uppkomsten av så kallade deepfakes, det vill säga realistiska men fabricerade bilder eller videos som genererats med hjälp av artificiell intelligens. Majorite-ten av alla deepfakes är idag av sexuell natur och de flesta avbildar kvinnor utan The development of artificial intelligence has led to significant advancements across various fields but is has also introduced considerable challenges. One such challenge is the emergence of so-called deepfakes, which are realistic, yet fabricated images or videos generated by artificial intelligence. A large propor-tion of deepfakes today are sexual in nature, most of which depict women without

Sverige var under flera år ett av få länder i Norden som inte hade någon möjlighet att garantera ett vittne anonymitet under rättsprocessen. Den 1 januari 2025 trädde emellertid den omdebatterade lagen (2024:1180) om anonyma vittnen i brottmål i kraft. Genom lagen infördes ett system som innebär att ett vittne under vissa förutsättningar kan höras anonymt under en förundersökning och rättegång i bFor several years, Sweden was one of the few countries in the Nordic region that had no way of guaranteeing a witness anonymity during a legal process. However, on January 1, 2025, the much-debated Act (2024:1180) on Anonymous Witnesses in Criminal Cases entered into force. The Act introduced a system according to which a witness, under certain conditions, can be heard anonymously during a prelimi
