Certain organic micropollutants and emerging contaminants are increasingly detected in wastewater effluents due to enhancement of detection techniques and new technological processes or household items being introduced. Some of them can accumulate in food chains and/or pose health risks for humans, wildlife and ecosystems. Often, these are very difficult or impossible to sufficiently remove using

Denna rapport handlar om processen för att ge en robotarm möjligheten att läsa och utföra rörelser från en G-kodfil. En sådan lösning kan ha betydande fördelar för robotarmarnas ägare och tillverkare, genom att möjliggöra nya arbetsuppgifter. Vårt mål var att implementera en konceptuell demonstration som visar att robotarmen kan programmeras för att läsa G-kod och utföra uppgifter liknande de som This paper is about the process of making a general purpose robot arm able to read and execute movements from a G-code file. A solution to this problem could prove beneficial to the owners and developers of the robot as it could create new possible work tasks for said robot. Our goal is to implement a proof of concept that shows that the robot could be made to read g-code and do tasks that a 3D-pr

This thesis analyzes the novels Bränn alla mina brev and Jävla Karlar with focus on expressions of masculinities. The method is reparative reading which entails reading from a position of hope. The theoretical framework is primarily based on Connell’s masculinity theories, which are the hegemonic, complicit, subordinated, and marginalized masculinity. Complementary are Anderson’s theory of inclusi

I det svenska samhället syns en nedåtgående trend när det gäller barn och ungas läs- och skrivförmåga. Därmed finns det ett värde i att utforska effekter av läsfrämjande initiativ. Den aktuella studien ämnar således att studera vilken betydelse miljön på kulturhuset Funnys Äventyr kan ha i relation till högläsning. Mer specifikt undersöks vilken betydelse miljön har för barns nivå av distraktion o

Föreliggande uppsats undersöker hur tystnad gestaltas i Maja Lee Langvads Tolk (2024). Genom att gå i dialog med Mara Lees avhandling i litterär gestaltning När Andra skriver: skrivande som motstånd, ansvar och tid (2014) belyses hur tystnaden i Lee Langvads roman kan förstås som något rumsligt, relationellt och tidsligt. Från Lees avhandling hämtas begrepp som Andra, temporalitet och förskjutning

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis has been to examine if and how Swedish SMEs use post audit reviews to learn from their capital investment decisions. Methodology: This explorative study applies a qualitative research approach, using both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through semi structured interviews with six managers across six different Swedish SMEs, while secon

This thesis examines how insights from cognitive science can inform the design of self-study training materials to reduce cognitive load and enhance sales onboarding in complex technical domains. The study was conducted at a global company specializing in industrial sensor solutions, focusing on machine vision sales training. The study was conducted in three phases. First, a pre-study mapped the

In today’s technology-driven classrooms, maintaining student focus is increasingly challenging. This study investigates the impact of "Focus room", a digital tool developed by Trelson, designed to reduce digital distractions and support sustained attention during class. Through an observational study in a Swedish school, four 8th grade student classes were observed before and during the

Europe has undergone major changes since the beginning of the cold war and the last decade has proven to be a very challenging chapter. To reach a consensus, EU’s member states would have to cooperate, but the tools to achieve this were absent. With the introduction of the Treaty of Amsterdam the member states had to submit to the ruling of the European Parliament. The result was significantly str

Föreställ dig att du bor i ett bostadsområde men tvingas flytta på grund av höjda boendekostnader till följd av stadsförnyelse, som utlovar högre kvalitet i form av ett levande torg och nya gröna parker. Ditt bostadsområde har genomgått en gentrifieringsprocess – något som kan uppstå som en konsekvens av stadsförnyelse. Göteborg är en stad som likt många andra brottas med segregation och samtidiSocial and climate-related challenges are closely intertwined. Existing research has shown that community’s ability to recover from extreme weather events is largely influenced by social vulnerabilities and societal resilience. In response, environmental justice has emerged as a potential tool to address these dual challenges in urban planning. Within this context, strategies such as urban densifi

This thesis examines whether ideological shifts in Swedish municipal councils affect local taxation and spending. Using close elections from 1998 to 2018 and a left-right index based on party seat shares and economic positions, it applies a multi-score regression discontinuity design with instrumental variables. The study finds that while tax rates and core welfare spending are unaffected, a right

Climate change and socio-economic developments are projected to intensify land use pressures in northern latitudes, potentially driving agricultural expansion into Arctic and boreal ecosystems. This thesis examines the consequences of future climate and land use change on ecosystem services in the European Arctic, focusing on vegetation dynamics, carbon storage, crop productivity, and biophysical

Att investera sina pengar på ett smart sätt – så kallad portföljoptimering – är en grundläg- gande utmaning inom finans. Traditionellt har detta byggt på att man försöker förutspå framtida avkastning och hur olika tillgångar samvarierar. Men dessa uppskattningar är ofta osäkra och kan leda till felbeslut. I takt med att maskininlärning blivit allt vanligare inom finansvärlden har nya metoder utvecPortfolio optimization is a central problem in finance, with traditional approaches of- ten relying on forecasts of expected returns and covariances. With the growing adoption of machine learning in finance, return forecasting using ML techniques has become in- creasingly common. More recently, an alternative approach has been proposed where the portfolio weights are learned directly, bypassing th

Policy implementation in large organisations can be viewed as a complex endeavour, especially concerning human rights and recruitment fairness. While Malmö municipality adopts a human rights policy, the challenge of translating these principles into daily operations, especially within the recruitment process, remains a critical area for research. This study analyses how HR-practitioners in Malmö m

When people (repeatedly) choose among items characterized by multiple attributes ( price, quality, brand etc..) they often over-or under-weight certain attributes depending on which features stand out in the choice set. Salience theory explains how these distortions arise in a static setting. I extend the existing salience theoretic model for deterministic choice to a setting in which the decision

Areas experiencing conflict are challenging to examine due to limited accessibility. Remote sensing is a valuable tool that can be used to evaluate the effects of conflict on the environment. Northwestern Syria hosts most of the country’s remaining Mediterranean forests, an ecosystem that is ecologically significant for regulatory ecosystem services. Since 2011, Syria has experienced conflict, whi

Climate change is expected to alter soil nutrient availability and microbial community functionality. Inputs of labile carbon (C) from root exudates can stimulate the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) in a phenomenon known as “priming”; driven by microbial demand for limiting resources. Climate-driven changes in resource availability may therefore influence soil susceptibility to priming,
