Arbetet undersöker hur arkitektonisk fasadgestaltning kan utvecklas genom inspiration från samtida offentlig konst, i syfte att återintroducera ornamentala kvaliteter och stärka exteriöra offentliga rum. Genom teoretiska, empiriska och designbaserade undersökningar prövar arbetet hur konstnärliga och arkitektoniska strategier kan integreras i arkitekturens fasadornamentik och därigenom bidra till
With the development of the global transition from linear production and consumption models toward circular economy (CE), large multinational corporations are increasingly expected to disclose their environmental commitments and the substantive quality of their circular initiatives.

This study aimed to examine the work of elderly counselors in municipal eldercare, focusing on how they describe older people’s psychosocial needs, their mandate and professional role, and the need for a profession responsible for providing psychosocial support to older people. The study is based on eight semi-structured interviews with nine elderly counselors working in municipalities in central
Civil society actors play a vital role in supporting sexual and gender minority migrants and asylum seekers, yet the impact of the reliance on external funding on these organizations remains largely unexplored. This thesis aims to understand the impact of external project-based EU funding on the Swedish CSO RFSL Newcomers. Through expert interviews and document analysis, a critical realist case st
This study estimates the effect of Kenya's 2003 Free Primary Education reform on women's occupational outcomes, specifically whether the reform increased the probability that employed women work outside agriculture and whether any such effect differed between urban and rural areas. Using a cohort-based Difference-in-Differences design applied to pooled data from the 2014 and 2022 Kenya Dem
This study examines how anti-gender discourse is legitimized through the imitation of academic forms in the Swedish context. The study focuses on Ars ludendi Universitaria, an anonymous document that adopts academic conventions while advancing claims about gender, sexuality, biology and social hierarchy. The purpose of the study is to examine how the document constructs legitimacy and how anti-gen
As climate change continues to intensify, young women are among those most affected, particularly in rapidly urbanising cities across the Global South. In Accra, one of West Africa's fastest-warming cities, young women navigate extreme heat daily, yet heat vulnerability research and policy rarely draw on their lived experiences. Accra's Climate Action Plan (CAP) is currently under revision
I detta examensarbete undersöks den praktiska tillämpningen av det allmänna lämplighetsvillkoret i 3 kap. 1 § fastighetsbildningslagen (1970:988) (FBL) avseende bostadsfastigheter med kompletterande ändamål på landsbygden. Lagstiftningen har sedan 1991 möjliggjort bildandet av större bostadsfastigheter som omfattar jord- eller skogsbruksmark för hobbyverksamhet eller mindre näringsverksamhet, i sy
This thesis asks whether the choice of golf ball model is associated with measurable differences in Strokes Gained performance on the PGA Tour, and whether any such difference depends on playing conditions. Results from 43 events in the 2025 and 2026 seasons are combined with a player-level equip- ment mapping and tournament-level weather and course data, and analysed with linear mixed-effects mod
The grammatical expression of definiteness varies considerably across the world’s languages. While the semantic concept of it is universal, its morphological realization differs significantly from language to language, making it particularly challenging for second language learners of Swedish. This thesis investigates the degree of difficulty of definite Swedish noun phrases for L2 learners, focus
Treated wastewater reuse is increasingly promoted as a climate adaptation strategy for water–scarce agricultural settings, yet its health risks are often assessed through approaches that foreground pathogens, contaminants, and modelled exposure pathways while overlooking everyday social practices related to water. This thesis explores how local practices, understandings, and systemic drivers of wa
Architecture exists at the intersection of art and engineering, materially defined by the spaces enclosed within physical boundaries. Just as natural language processing allows machines to parse written text, artificial intelligence can comprehend architectural space when it is translated into a structured, objective format. This thesis proposes a novel machine learning framework for the automated
This study aimed to examine how physicians and registered nurses in primary health care perceive the role, function, and significance of healthcare social workers. A quantitative design was used, with data collected through a web-based questionnaire completed by 87 respondents in Region Skåne. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and interpreted through Andrew Abbott’s theory of pro

Social participation is an important aspect of both the quality of life of individuals and for democratic societies. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that promote or limit different forms of social participation. This is particularly the case with regard to structural inequalities that may restrict the access to opportunities for social participation, suc
Global warming leads to an increase in extreme weather events. As climate mitigation and adaptation alone are no longer sufficient to protect societies, crisis preparedness becomes ever more important. On national level, there has been a shift of responsibility for crisis preparedness from the state onto citizens. Against this background, this study aims to investigate how these changes play out a

Järnvägstrafiken ökar för varje år inte minst i Sverige utan i hela Europa, och det finns krav från EU att ha ett standardiserat järnvägssystem för alla medlemsländer. Ett av dessa krav är det nya signalsystemet ERTMS. Idén bakom ERTMS är att alla ska köra på samma signalsystem, vilket gör att man kan köra över landsgränser mycket smidigare samt att de ska vara mer säkert och tillförlitligt. Med E
Generating electricity from sunlight is a promising approach to achieve sustainable energy production. The efficiency of current solar cells is around 20% which is quite good; however, even higher efficiencies are desired. One promising design employs III–V semiconductor tandem and triple-junction nanowire (NW) arrays with geometrically enhanced absorption and lower weight, capturing a broader por
