Bakgrund: Användandet av aktivitetsbaserade interventioner har visats ha positiva effekter för rehabilitering samt för arbetsterapeuters roll och yrkesidentitet. Samtidigt finns det utmaningar för tillämpningen av aktivitetsbaserade interventioner i sjukhusmiljö som kan begränsa användningen. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka användningen av aktivitetsbaserade interventioner inom regional hälso- ochBackground: The use of occupation-based interventions has been shown to have positive effects on rehabilitation and occupational therapists' role and professional identity. At the same time, there are challenges applying occupation-based interventions in a hospital environment. Aim: The aim was to investigate the use of occupation-based interventions in regional healthcare. Method: Cross-secti

Women’s access to essential medicines is restricted by intersecting barriers such as economic dependence, reproductive health stigma, information gaps, and pharmaceutical R&D priorities that overlook their needs. Access to medicines is simultaneously shaped by international intellectual property law, particularly patent protection under the TRIPS Agreement, which has been criticised for restri

Background: The global plant-based food shift puts high pressure on manufacturing capacity at facilities like Oatly's Landskrona site. This environment faces high combinatorial complexity due to growing product variety and sequence-dependent cleaning requirements. Relying on manual, experience-based planning to navigate these rules limits throughput and introduces organisational risk. Purpose

This thesis investigates how the disinfection system in a medical bathtub can be im- proved with both performance and usability in mind. The current system has oppor- tunities for improvement regarding disinfectant concentration stability, sensitivity to inlet pressure variations, and the adjustment process for caregivers. Addressing these areas reduces the risk of incorrect dosing, unnecessary wa

Digitala D2C-företag i traditionellt fysiska branscher kan etablera en tydlig nisch, men möter nya utmaningar när affärsmodellen ska skalas till fler kundsegment. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur ett svenskt digitalt D2C-företag inom målarfärgsbranschen kan vidareutveckla en validerad, nischad och digital affärsmodell för att nå nya kundsegment på den svenska marknaden. Studien genomförs som enDigital D2C companies in traditionally physical retail can establish a clear niche, but face new challenges when the business model is scaled to broader customer segments. This thesis explores how a Swedish company in the paint industry can further develop a validated, niche-oriented, and digital business model to reach new customer segments in the Swedish market. The study is conducted as a case

Hadfield steel is widely used in heavy-duty applications involving high impact loads and abrasive wear, such as mining and stone crushing equipment, due to its high toughness, ductility, and work-hardening ability. However, the as-cast microstructure contains carbide precipitation and chemical segregation, particularly along grain boundaries, which causes embrittlement and reduce service performan

Syfte & mål: Syftet med examensarbetet är att analysera hur riskhantering implementeras i anbudsprocessen för byggprojekt samt att identifiera faktorer som bidrar till kostnadsskillnader mellan anbudskalkyl och slutkostnad. Målet är att identifiera vilka faktorer som skapar störst osäkerhet i anbudskalkyler och hur dessa risker kan identifieras och hanteras för att minska avvikelser mellan anb

This thesis examines how female entrepreneurs in China’s cultural and creative industries construct and negotiate entrepreneurial legitimacy through narrative practices and identity work. Drawing on thirteen semi-structured interviews and eleven publicly available podcast accounts, covering twenty-four entrepreneurs in total, the study combines narrative analysis and discourse analysis to examine

Understanding how drivers perceive and respond to traffic hazards is critical for designing safer road systems and human-centred autonomous vehicles. This study investigates hazard perception and driver behaviour in virtual reality (VR) driving environments through a multimodal approach. A VR simulation was developed using Unreal Engine and a Meta Quest Pro headset with integrated eye tracking, en

Industrial pasteurisation is a heat-intensive process with significant potential for decarbonisation. This study investigates how open-source Modelica libraries can be adapted for industry, especially for food industry, and integrated to replace fossil-based thermal systems. Investigations are done to evaluate models of heat pumps, thermal energy storage, specifically the stratified tank, and sol

The design process of buildings has historically treated mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) Systems, particularly Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) as an afterthought which leads to compromised spatial qualities inefficient routing systems. This systemic marginalisation of environmental engineering withing architectural discourse has traditionally prioritised the visual form of

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the European Union constructs and articulates peace within its official discourse in relation to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2014, 2021 and 2025. The European Union has long presented peace as a central part of its political identity, values and external role. However, political actors, such as the European Union, frequently invoke peace

Across the EU, wildfires are becoming an increasingly devastating threat, placing growing pressure on investment in prevention. This thesis examines whether the greening of EU investment fund regulations governing the European Regional Development Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development between the 2014-2020 and 2021-2027 programming periods has produced a regulatory architec

This thesis aims to examine, explore, and analyze the implications and consequences of the current Trump administration’s development of and conduct in the “war on drugs” on international law as well as the international community. To achieve this, I work under the theoretical frameworks of “law in context” and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). Through a mixed methodology, which

Post-festival residual inventory is a recurring challenge for small independent retailers, especially when products are tied to specific festivals, gifting occasions or seasonal selling windows. Existing research has examined markdown pricing, product deletion, and reverse logistics primarily in large retail chains or formal supply-chain systems, while paying less attention to how small independen

Background Digital twins offer great potential for transforming urban management to be more effective and sustainable. By adopting a data-centric approach, cities can become more innovative, moving away from application-centric solutions with data silos toward an interoperable modern data architecture. This thesis designs and develops a data-centric knowledge graph-based tool for road maintenance

Pharmaceutical manufacturing of parenteral injections must be fine-tuned to yield a stable API through efficient production methods. Assessing a products processability is essential to ensure consistent manufacturing and safe drug administration, of which powder flowability and dissolution both have a direct impact. Spray drying is a particle engineering technique to modify these parameters, howev
