Studien baseras på kvartsupplöst mätdata från E.ON Energidistribution från år 2025, med konsumtions- och produktionsdata från enskilda hushåll och fem nätstationer. Målet var atThis master thesis investigates the potential and limitations of local electricity sharing in residential distribution networks by analysing the correlation between local photovoltaic (PV) generation and electricity consumption in existing rural low-voltage grids. The study is based on quarter-hour resolution measurement data from 2025 provided by E.ON, including consumption and production data fr
In Sweden every property unit needs to go through a suitability judgement when subdivided or amended. The judgement asks whether the property unit is suitable for its intended use regarding how the property unit´s boundary is drawn. What constitutes a suitable property unit is well established for most types of uses. This is not the case for property units with a dam on them, so called dam-propert
Gender tests in sports have become increasingly popular amongst sports gov-erning bodies. Even the International Olympic Committee only recently, in March 2026, introduced a new rule requiring female athletes to undergo ge-netic testing to be allowed to compete in the female category. This article ex-amines gender testing in sport and the question of whether these regulations violate the human rig
Conventional monoclonal antibodies that function via occupancy-based inhibition often fall short due to drug resistance and non-enzymatic scaffolding functions that persist despite successful inhibition of the target protein. Antibody-based proteolysis targeting chimeras (AbTACs) utilize a novel event-driven modality allowing for specific degradation of the target protein. This study investigated
The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers’ competence, use of, and attitudes towards artificial intelligence (AI) within social work services, with a focus on identifying how AI affects the professional role. The reason we wish to research this subject is that artificial intelligence has become increasingly relevant in society and may come to influence social work in various ways
This project addresses the challenge of designing for permanence within a heavily gentrified and tourist-driven environment. It responds directly to local housing needs while integrating small-scale tourism and establishing clear spatial boundaries to safeguard local biodiversity. While housing constitutes the central focus of the proposal, the project also argues that permanence cannot be secur
