The efficient allocation of flexible resources, such as grid batteries and wind parks, across multiple energy market auctions, is pivotal for maximizing socio-economic welfare, interpreted here as profits. This study explores various optimization methods, including Linear Programming, Integer Linear Programming, Robust Optimization with Linear Programming, and Robust Optimization with Integer Line
In the last ten years, Sweden has seen a noticeable increase in shootings involving young people, which has led to growing media attention and public concern. This thesis explores how Swedish newspapers frame these shootings and how those frames align with public discourse in an online forum in Sweden. The study examines the connection between media framing of youth-involved shootings and public d
Bangladesh faces recurrent and severe flooding due to its low-lying topography and intense monsoon climate, making it one of the most flood-prone countries in the world. These floods pose significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and economic stability which is projected to intensify under future climate change scenarios. This thesis presents a flood susceptibility assessment using the An
Due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, cities have been seen as one of the main contributors to climate change and its negative impacts in recent decades. Many of the Nordic countries have experienced an increased number of torrential rains and floods in recent years, resulting in both property and environmental damage as well as possible negative effects on the well-being of citizens. E
The current legislative framework regarding criminal record checks in Swedish municipalities can be perceived as lacking and may lead to violations of privacy and exclusions of formerly incarcerated individuals. Criminal record checks can, however, help employers make hiring decisions to ensure safety for elders and children. In light of this dilemma, the aim of this research was to examine the le
Shootings have become the central focus in both the political debate as well as in media coverage. Even though shootings are statistically rare, the symbolic impact they have on public perception is significant. The aim of this thesis is to examine how Swedish media symbolically constructs the public- and parochial realm when shootings occur in them, and what symbolic meanings are attributed to th
This thesis explores the regulatory friction that surfaces when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) apply side by side to high‑risk AI systems. It homes in on three connected problems. First, there is a procedural overlap between the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA). Second, a normati
This research presents a quest for the definition of “foreign direct investment” under the EU framework for FDI screening by the Member States, established by Regulation 2019/452 based on public policy and security. This Thesis argues that the scope of the current Regulation, excluding “indirect” FDI made by foreign investors via an EU subsidiary, coupled with the lenient, non-compulsory nature of
Although the accounts confirming that we are in the midst of an ecological crisis are undeniable, the transformative action necessary to address climate change remains elusive. Capitalist norms of economic growth, self-interest and denialism obstructs paths towards sustainability. This research illustrates how embodied engagements with the ecological crisis through artistic practices can foster mo
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade to prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC. It will allow for many more particle collisions to occur. Some detectors that make up the LHC experiments must be replaced to withstand the harsher conditions. In particular, the inner tracking detector (ID) of the ATLAS experiment will be replaced by the new Inner Tracker (ITk). Every co
