The purpose of this thesis is to examine the extend of cybersecurity obligations imposed on healthcare providers under EU law. To achieve this, the research questions focus on selected parts of the NIS 2 Directive and the Cybersecurity Act. Particular attention is afforded cybersecurity risk-management measures required under Article 21 of the NIS 2 Directive, as well as the role of certification
Sweden restructured its asylum reception system in 2025, shifting from a model that allowed asylum seekers to arrange their own accommodation towards one that encourages residence in centrally managed facilities operated by the Swedish Migration Agency. This study examines how the location of eleven reception centres operating after the reform affects asylum seekers’ well-being and integration out
Degrowth has emerged as a critical framework challenging the dominant assumption that continuous economic growth is necessary for human progress and well-being. While degrowth offers important critiques of capitalist accumulation, ecological destruction, and growth-oriented development, the field has largely been shaped by Western intellectual traditions and policy discourses. It has also yet to e
This thesis explores the transformative potential of degrowth-aligned initiatives in Malmö and examines the extent to which they can be understood as alternatives to growth-oriented systems. Grounded in degrowth theory, diverse economies, and socio-ecological transformation literature, the study investigates how localized initiatives negotiate ecological limits, social relations, and institutional
Society is increasingly affected by air pollution. Therefore, particulate matter and its effects on the environment and human health is important to study. One important group of organic compounds that are present in particulate matter is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These are formed during combustion and are known to have carcinogenic properties. An efficient extraction method is impo
This thesis interrogates Rome’s housing cooperative sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities housing cooperatives face in providing affordable housing for their members. It analyses Rome’s housing regime to present the housing context in which housing cooperatives operate. The thesis explores what housing affordability means within the eternal city, moving beyond a simple income ratio
Värmeböljor förväntas bli vanligare och mer intensiva till följd av klimatförändringar vilket ökar behovet av geografiska analyser av värmesårbarhet i urbana miljöer som är särskilt värmeutsatta. Denna studie undersöker hur olika metoder för konstruktion av värmesårbarhetsindex påverkar identifieringen av sårbara områden i Malmö. Två etablerade metoder jämförs: ett additivt, oviktat index och ett Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent and intense because of climate change, increasing the need for geographical analyses of heat vulnerability, particularly in heat-exposed urban environments. This study examines how different methods for constructing heat vulnerability indices affect the identification of vulnerable areas in Malmö. Two established methods are compared: an additive, unw
In early 2026, the European Union (EU) adopted the Omnibus I proposal to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by reducing reporting burdens and enhancing competitiveness. However, it has been criticised for weakening sustainability ambitions and increasing uncertainty about future sustainability reporting. This thesis examines how sustainability professionals percei
Firearm-related crime presents a significant challenge in forensic investigations, particularly when in court indirect contact is invoked as an alternative explanation for the presence of DNA on a weapon. This study aimed to characterise location-specific DNA distribution patterns from different firearm handling scenarios and to assess whether these patterns can support activity-level evaluation i
Fifth-Generation New Radio (5G NR) base stations produce detailed scheduling logs that record per-slot decisions, channel measurements, and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback at sub-millisecond granularity. Diagnosing anomalies in these logs currently requires domain experts to spend approximately one hour of manual inspection per file, and no standardised tooling exists for automated
Early Warning Systems (EWS) are crucial for safeguarding communities, but are vulnerable to failure due to a technocratic focus that excludes local communities. This thesis closes the gap between normative participatory principles and practical implementation by exploring the entry points or challenges that affect community participation. Adopting a complexity theory lens, the study conducts a qua
This thesis presents the development of a prototype for a concealed power strip integrated into the underside of a sofa. The aim is to improve accessibility to electrical outlets while maintaining a clean and unobtrusive appearance in the living environment. The solution is designed to both hide cables and allow convenient access to power when seated, while ensuring sufficient ground clearance for
Examensarbetet genomfördes på uppdrag av ett företag som utvecklar mjukvara för flygbolag. Företaget använde ett internt simuleringsverktyg för att testa sina kartapplikationer, vilket hade växt fram organiskt utan fokus på användbarhet. Detta hade resulterat i ett verktyg som upplevdes svårt att använda och tidskrävande för de anställda på företaget. Syftet med examensarbetet var att analysera de
Syfte & mål: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur byggnadsdelar ska projekteras för att möjliggöra framtida demontering och återbruk utan bearbetning. Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om demonteringens utveckling för hela byggnadsdelar. Målet är att identifiera tekniska lösningar som skapar förutsättningar för en effektiv demontering. Genom att analysera ett antal byggnadsdelar är måle
Dense camera arrays and offline processing are often used for high-quality 3D and 4D scene capture, but such setups are difficult to use as interactive VR content-creation tools. This thesis investigates whether sparse multi-camera capture can be connected to practical reconstruction and visualization workflows for indoor person-centered scenes. A WebUI-controlled system was designed and implement
This thesis examines the relationship between the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) in regulating automated decision-making involving personal data. Emphasis is given to the legal intersection between Article 22 GDPR outlining automated-decision making regime and the AIA’s human oversight requirements for high-risk AI systems (Article 14), parti
This thesis presents the development of a structured framework for extrusion screw design based on geometrical parameters, with the aim of improving understanding and supporting design decisions in industrial extrusion processes. The work was carried out in collaboration with Tetra Pak and focuses on the extrusion system used in injection compression molding of Tetra Top lids. An initial numerica

The EU’s Sustainability Disclosure Framework has been substantially revised. The CSRD and the ESRS have been changed under Directive (EU) 2026/470, and the Commission has proposed a reform for SFDR, which transforms the framework’s disclosure-based structure to a comprehensive categorization system based on three categories: Transition, ESG Basics, and Sustainable. This thesis examines what change
