Safety, privacy and comfort are elements that need to be improved on Swedish shelters. Since several homeless individuals often share bedrooms, it is not uncommon for them to be exposed to violence, harassment and theft or a generally disturbing environment during their stay. These are all contributing factors to an increased difficulty in getting out of homelessness. Enfold is a flexible w

Ultra millimeter-wave (mmWave) radars have become a vital sensor in automotive, surveillance, and consumer electronics thanks to its precise measurements and low power consumption. However, they required a precise control to coordinate their different modules and produce meaningful data. In this thesis work, we introduce an approach to perform the control and coordination of the radar based in mic

In the building industry, circular economy has gained much attention in recent years, yet thus far, little research has been conducted on the topic of intensified building use, despite the great potential this strategy offers in terms of emission reduction. One way of intensifying building use can be through the sharing of spaces among different users at different times. This thesis explores how m

Modern construction sites are associated with high demands on suitable soil conditions, resulting in geotechnical challenges that can be solved using soil stabilisation techniques. The reliability of these techniques is tested using different quality assurance methods. One of the most common ground stabilisation methods is jet injection and installation of jet grouted columns. Quality control (QC)

This master thesis is conducted in collaboration with Opticept Technologies, a company operating in the Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatment industry. PEF treatment necessitates the use of high-voltage machines, and this thesis focuses on exploring a mechanical disconnector that serves as an essential safety feature for such high-voltage systems. The thesis examines relevant standards and del

Luftföroreningar dödar 7 miljoner människor varje år och är därmed enligt WHO ett av de största hälsohoten i vår tid. Hälsoeffekterna av luftföroreningar kan vara akuta eller kroniska och de kan drabba flera olika organsystem, bland annat lungor och hjärta. En grundpelare i att åtgärda dessa problem är att kunna mäta och uppskatta hur utsatta vissa individer är för luftföroreningar. Gällande just Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. Method: A mathematical model has been developed in

På senare tid har användningen av online kommunikation ökats drastiskt, speciellt angående chatapplikationer. Det gör både kommunikation snabbare och passar in väl med distansarbete. Då chatter i stora grupper kan bli röriga då det är många användare som skriver finns det potential för förbättring gällande strukturen och organiseringen av meddelandena. Det är målet med detta examensarbete att hittThe usage of online communication has increased heavily in recent times, especially chat applications. It both makes communication faster and fits well with remote work. As the chats of large chat groups can be messy with many writers there is potential for improvement in regard to the structure and organization of messages. This is the focus of this master thesis, what kind of effects using threa

The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the relationship between unencumbered tangibility and cash holdings, and to evaluate if corporations consider them to be substitutable variables of corporate liquidity. The study relies on a panel data set and then employs a firm fixed effect regression model to estimate the strength and direction of the relationship of interest. It then proc

This master thesis project presents steps on the image processing and reconstruction of an aluminium open-cell metal foam from $\mu$CT tomographic data. In addition, it also considers the generation of architecture foams using Voronoi Tessellation in combination with sphere packing algorithms. The process creates a foam skeleton which is used together with morphological operations such as dilation

This thesis aims to investigate whether the implementation of IFRS has affected the accounting quality in Swedish companies. The results of this study is analyzed through the theory of information asymmetry and previous empirical studies. The study employs a quantitative method using linear regression analysis on market value of equity, book value of equity and earnings pre- and post-IFRS to inves

The substantial growth of private health insurance in 21st century Sweden has sparked debates about its potential effect on waiting times within the public health care system. Some argue that individuals with private health insurance are prioritized in the waiting list for health care, potentially leading to longer waiting times for those without private coverage. Conversely, others argue that pri

Establishing artificial carbon fixation in Escherichia coli as a model organism can open the door to utilization of carbon dioxide as a sustainable feedstock in industrial bioprocesses. Gleizer et al. (2019) developed an autotrophic E. coli strain which combines native and non-native enzymes to create an artificial Calvin Cycle. One of the native enzymes used is the NADH-dependent glyceraldehyde 3

In efforts to form resilience-building strategies and guide action across the globe, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015) outlined four priorities, the first of which is Understanding Disaster Risk. The purpose of this research is to delve into the concept of disaster risk and see how it is understood by the duty-bearing entity tasked with reducing disaster risk (the government)

Intimate partner violence against men has been a rather unexplored topic within social science research but is now getting more and more attention. It has been shown that victimhood and masculinity is difficult to reconcile among both abused men and members of society. Using qualitative content analysis, this study investigated how male victims of heterosexual intimate partner violence is presente

Introduction: The modification of lignin to high-value low molecular weight compounds frequently results in complex mixtures of monomeric or oligomeric compounds. In addition, these organic acids can be applied as antioxidants or for the production of bioplastics. Background: The composition of lignin is complex. Utilizing technical lignin as a starting point, useful aromatic compounds can be ge

Japan’s influence in Southeast Asia has been enormous throughout history, whether in its military occupation, culture, or economic ties, and there is no doubt that Southeast Asia has developed under its influence. Have Southeast Asian states then developed and improved their human rights situation because of Japan? Or has Japan aggravated the situation being “blue washed”, by performing its busine
