Karst caves are known to buffer external climatic variability and track annual temperature and humidity means, yet little is understood about how this buffering extends beyond cave interiors or whether it influences vegetation patterns at cave entrances. This pilot study investigates microclimate (temperature, relative humidity and derived vapour pressure deficit) and vegetation patterns (Shannon

I takt med att avgasutsläpp från förbränningsmotorer minskar blir bidraget från icke-avgasemissioner till luftföroreningar allt mer betydande. En av de viktigaste källorna till dessa emissioner är slitage från bromsar. Trots att störst mängd bromsslitage kommer från tunga fordon är detta ett relativt outforskat ämne. Denna studie syftar därför till att fylla kunskapsluckorna som finns gällande broToday, non-exhaust emissions from brake wear are one of the biggest sources of air polluting PM10 in urban areas. To limit toxic effects, the recent Euro 7 regulations include non-exhaust emissions limit values for passenger cars. However, regulatory standards for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) do not yet exist and the effects of brake wear particles from HDVs are underexplored. The aim of this thesis

Under min ett och ett halvt år långa praktik inom scenografi introducerades jag till ett alternativt synsätt på rumslig gestaltning. Inom scenografin står berättelse, stämning och upplevelse i centrum, och varje gestaltningsbeslut – vad gäller mått, form, ljus, material eller rörelseflöde, utgår från en medveten intention om vad rummet gör med den som kliver in i det. Målsättningen är ofta att berDuring my one and a half years of internship in scenography, I was introduced to an alternative approach to spatial design. In scenography, narrative, atmosphere, and experience are key elements, and every design decision – concerning scale, form, light, material, movement – is based on a conscious intention regarding how the space affects those who enter it. The aim is often to move, engage, and

This master’s thesis examines how the experimental project My new museum?, initiated by Malmö Art Museum, is used to develop museum practice under conditions of shifting cultural policy expectations, and increasingly hybrid forms of legitimation. The study asks (1) what kinds of participation the project enables and when participation entails a redistribution of power between visitors and museum,

The thesis examines the transformation process from archaeological publication to archaeological exhibition, with a focus on how the narrative on prehistoric identity changes. The purpose of the thesis is to shed light on how museums fulfil their mission of making research accessible to the public and has two research questions: What changes occur in the narrative when text material produced from

Who’s Worth Identifying examines the reasonings behind the decision to exclude the use of forensic investigative genetic genealogy, or FIGG, to identify unidentified human remains belonging to victims of crime in Sweden. After FIGG was used to solve a double homicide in Linköping in 2020 the Swedish Police Authority published a report on its use. After the publishing of the report the Swedish Auth

This thesis examines how museums display human remains in relation to artefacts within the same exhibition contexts. While previous research has largely focused on ethical questions, repatriation, and public reactions to human remains, fewer studies have systematically compared how museums materially and affectively differentiate human remains from other museum objects. The study investigates

This master’s thesis examines how climate responsibility is formulated in policy and governance documents of Swedish national museum authorities. Drawing on a text analysis, the study investigates how climate-related issues are articulated, what meanings are attributed to sustainability, and how these formulations are shaped by institutional contexts. The theoretical framework combines social ecol

This study examines how archivists in Sweden perceive and relate to the development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in relation to their professional role, practice, and conditions surrounding the use of AI. While AI has been described as having significant potential for increasing efficiency, handling large volumes of digital material, and improving access to archives, it also raise

This thesis examines how archivists perceive different archival spaces, with an emphasis on physical and digital archives. The study is based on four semi-structured interviews with Swedish archivists who all work in public archives. A key aim of the research has been to let the informants reflect on how the various archival environments make them feel – and which of the senses they invoke – rathe

In the early 20th century, researchers from folklore archives travelled across Sweden to collect stories from rural communities and peasant society, as this culture was widely believed to be disappearing as more people moved to urban areas. These stories became part of collections that are now documented as part of Swedish cultural heritage. In the 1970s, however, these collections were criticised

The purpose of this master thesis is to explore how platformization and artificial intelligence are reshaping power and governance in the digital economy, with a particular focus on the relationship between private technology companies and the public sector. Governments and institutions often present AI as necessary for innovation, economic growth, and efficiency, while researchers and representat

This master’s thesis studies several interviews conducted and recorded by the Swedish national archives in the 1980s. The interviews in question were carried out by a department at the national archives focusing specifically on acquisition and mapping of private archives. Between 1980 and 1991, employees at the department interviewed at least 20 people and recorded their stories, which were then a

This study evaluates an object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach using YOLOv11s-seg instance segmentation model for classifying thermally relevant land cover types from 0.16 m resolution orthophotos across three municipalities in Scania, Sweden. Six thermally relevant classes were defined: asphalt, bright roof, brown roof, dark roof, tree canopy and grass. The model was trained on annotations f

Landslide susceptibility models (LSMs) are essential to mitigate the danger of landslides, and with a changing climate posing potential risks to model accuracy, it is vital to understand the role that precipitation plays within LSMs and the effect shifting climatic conditions may have on model accuracy. This study produced a logistic regression LSM in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of North Caroli

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how working conditions at Swedish government archives affect archivists' possibilities to comply with the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act, the Freedom of the Press Act and the Archives Act, how working conditions affect archivists' discretion in relation to these legislations, as well as how archivists prioritize in their work duties. F

“What happens to everything you excavate?” is a question most archaeologists will be asked. The answer, generally, is “Storage in museum collections”. Archaeological excavations, commercial, academic and otherwise, generate vast quantities of finds. Almost all are stored as collections, or object archives, maintained by museums. An additional answer might also be “Not enough”: despite the size and

The second wave women’s movement in the 1970s was global and many organized for better healthcare, against the exploitation of women’s bodies and for women’s liberation. In Sweden the largest and most visible group within the second wave women’s movement was Grupp 8. They existed in several cities and places in the country and out of all the local groups within Grupp 8, nine were donated to differ

Fotografiskt material är något av det mest känsliga material som bevaras vid arkivinstitutioner, inklusive kommunarkiv. Trots detta finns det en övergripande brist på resurser, översyn och ansvar när det gäller bevarandet av detta material i Sverige. Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra med kunskap om hur analogt fotografiskt material bevaras vid mindre kommunarkiv i Skåne. Detta syfte undersöks

On the 4th of July 2024 the Swedish government decided to assign the Agency for Digital Government and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection to give guidelines for increasing use of generative artificial intelligence in the public sector. One year later, on the 10th of September 2025, the government released their budget proposition for the year 2026. Here the National Archives of Sweden (N
