The master thesis seeks to develop a control system for the Crazyflie 2.0 unmanned aerial vehicle to enable aggressive and autonomous flight. For this purpose, different rigid-body models are considered, differing primarily in their parametrisation of rotation. The property of differential flatness is explored and several means of parametrising trajectories in at output space are implemented. A ne
This thesis provides an account of the storage strategies for mitigation of excess electricity production (EEP) from wind energy in the Öresund region of Denmark and southern Sweden, characterized by an increasing share of wind power. Hydrogen is a versatile storage technology with potential in both large and small scale options, and for utilization in several application areas. TIS framework and
Popular summary The environmental and social consequences of predicted climate change are expected to be amplified in urban environments due to their elevated temperatures, which are attributable to a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island. As most types of vegetation can provide for cooler air temperatures due to their natural cooling effect, increasing amounts of vegetation in urban areas mig
Large quantities and numbers of organic compounds (OCs) from industries and domestic sources enter the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) everyday, which is an ever-increasing issue in modern society. In WWTPs, the pollutants are either degraded or emitted to the air, the effluent (water) or the sludge (biosolids). Even though the sludge may contain toxic contaminants and heavy metals, there is a

In order to enable an effective and efficient adoption of radical innovations in networks, science-based organizations should be aware of the challenges and resistance they may face within their network relationships, resulting from the interconnected structure of high-tech networks as well as the uncertain nature of their radical innovations. By analyzing how nuances of relationship quality influ
Water management tackles complexities within the interconnected social, political, economic and ecological systems across scales, while aiming to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders dependent on water. Many tensions and unsolved issues persist in water management regarding socio-political power structures, spatial scale, and relations between stakeholders who have different perceptions on prob
Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe
Development of valuable products from downstream process residual biomasses and profound reduction of waste are two key components for developing a more sustainable process industry. The importance of bio-renewable feedstocks and bio-based processing techniques are also crucial in the transformation to a more sustainable and green society. Therefore focus is directed on full exploitation of seawee
Central to the field of agrarian political economy, is rural development and capitalism’s advancement in the countryside and its consequences for the peasantry, ‘the agrarian question’. With the present case study, I examine the interplay between social relations of production and agrarian change in eastern Bolivia. Using the case study of Ramada, a small indigenous community, this dissertation in
This study aims to examine how local governments originated from the global South, through Urban Food System Strategies (UFSS), are realizing global sustainability priorities as outlined by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study is based on the policy analysis of three Latin American UFSS, with the aim to detect synergies and connections between the UFSS and the SDGs. The primary c
Party polarization research at the academic level has been limited so far compared to media coverage. Nonetheless, there is increasing academic attention on the effects of polarization on policy intensity. This study aims to analyse the impact party polarization has on the government response carried out in the EU countries during Covid-19. The specialized literature study how political polarizati
How does anti-tourism affect support for the EU? This question has gained a newly found relevance in recent years, as anti-tourism protests have appeared in many European cities with high levels of tourism. Despite this relevance, some elements of these protests have not received as much attention as they deserve. This thesis will aim to fill one of the gaps in the literature: how anti-tourism soc
This thesis will examine the plausibility of exchanging protocol from a normal server-client to a peer-to-peer solution for over-the-air updates, using a single case study for Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. It will examine the effort, the risks, and what the actual gain may be comparing to a client-server approach for over-the-air software updates. Sony Mobile today uses a content
This thesis is a descriptive case study of the institutional measures to improve women’s representation in Chile between 2015 and 2022. Women in Chile have historically been underrepresented because of two institutions introduced by former dictator Pinochet: the 1980 constitution and the binomial electoral system.
