Public Bike-Sharing systems have been employed in many cities around the globe. Shared bikes are an efficient and convenient means of transportation in advanced societies. Nonetheless, station planning and local bike-sharing network effectiveness can be challenging. This study aims to address these challenges by predicting the station-level demand in public bicycle-sharing systems through the appl
Under 1900-talet har en stor förändring skett i behovet av att bevara och till-gängliggöra strand. Med storstädernas framväxt och allt livligare fritidshus-bygge bland stränder så har lagstiftare i Danmark, Finland och Sverige sett ett alltmer ökat behov av att skydda stranden trots dess inskränkningar i egen-domsskyddet i respektives stats grundlag och EKMR. Till stor del har länderna gjort en liDuring the 20th century, there has been a significant shift in the need to pre-serve and make beaches accessible. With the growth of large cities and the increasingly active construction of holiday homes along beaches, legislators in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden have seen an increasing need to protect beaches despite the restrictions on property rights in their respective national constitutions an
Lanzarote is an island that is part of the intraplate ocean island volcanism that makes up the Canary archipelago. The Timanfaya eruption (1730-36) was a crucial event in the geological history of Lanzarote. It is considered an anomaly in the volcanic record of the archipelago due to its long eruptive activity, large volume of lava and composition (alkali basalts evolving into tholeiites). The ori
Medical care in Nepal is largely financed by the individual, and although insurance programs and subsidies exist, they are limited in coverage, amount of assistance provided, and level of enrollment. Medical needs that extend beyond basic health services, specifically following acute injury can lead to financial difficulties that may jeopardize the ability to maintain basic needs and can push peop
The understanding of solid state physics is a significant part of understanding the foundations of modern technology and engineering. Applications of solid state physics are broad; it includes solar panels, laser technology, transistors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and many more, all of which have been significant technological advancements that have offered people efficient and useful devices a
This thesis investigates the financial viability of green hydrogen production for mobility applications across four European countries: Germany, Norway, Denmark and Spain. Given the rising importance of hydrogen in hard-to-electrify sectors such as (heavy-duty) transport, the study focuses on understanding how system design and local energy conditions influence the Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH
The global adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), aims to enhance financial reporting transparency, comparability, and reliability by standardizing accounting practices and limiting managerial discretion. While IFRS has improved accounting quality in many regions, its impact depends on prior local GAAP quali
I takt med att Sverige strävar efter att uppnå klimatneutralitet har återvinning av schaktmassor fått ökad betydelse. Vikten av samordning mellan olika bygg- och anläggningsprojekt har lyfts för att öka den cirkulära masshanteringen. Lokalt belägna återvinningsanläggningar för massor har angetts som ett sätt att underlätta återvinningen av massor. Samtidigt upplevs lagstiftningen som reglerar olikThe management of excavated materials is becoming more important as Sweden works towards climate neutrality. Improved coordination between construction projects and the use of local recycling facilities are seen as key to enabling circular mass management. However, the legislation governing the establishment and operation of mass recycling facilities is perceived as unclear, particularly regarding
Onboarding is a critical and strategically important process that significantly affects an organization's ability to attract, retain and engage new top talents in today’s competitive and rapidly evolving labor market. Despite a vast amount of research emphasizing the importance and benefits from having a structured onboarding process, many organizations continue to rely on outdated strategies
This thesis examines the transformation of livelihood strategies and cultural landscapes of the Maniq ethnic group, the only Negrito indigenous community in Thailand who live a nomadic lifestyle based on hunting and gathering in the Banthat mountain range, Phatthalung Province. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, the study analyzes the impacts of state development policies, environmental change, and
This thesis explores the structure and potential future of public transport in Mainz, Germany, through the lens of the Foundational Economy. The Foundational Economy, a broad project developed by several European scholars, offers a critique of neoliberalism by advocating for renewed policy attention to essential goods and services—such as public transport. The Foundational Economy reorients public
Growing environmental concerns have brought a focus to the impact of building materials. In response, biobased alternatives are being explored for their potential to reduce embodied carbon, support circularity, as well as improve indoor environmental quality. This is particularly important in Scandinavia, where moisture-related issues are common, there is a growing need for locally available mater
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of highly persistent synthetic chemicals that have raised growing concern due to their widespread presence in the environment and potential health effects. This study focuses on Lake Bolmen, one of southern Sweden’s most important sources of drinking water, and investigates how PFAS enter and accumulate in the lake. A total of 23 PFAS compound
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer-related arm lymphedema (BCRAL) is essential to prevent progression. Local tissue water (LTW) can be assessed using the tissue dielectric constant (TDC), enabling detection before an increase of arm volume occurs. However, knowledge of the variation of LTW during cancer treatment and appropriate LTW thresholds for early detection of BCRAL i
This study aims to assess the performance and importance of mangrove ecosystem services, focusing on supporting, provisioning, and regulating, and to investigate temporal changes in mangrove cover in Maputo Bay, Mozambique. It also examines the drivers behind these changes. The research questions address stakeholder perceptions of ecosystem services and their potential trade-offs, temporal changes
Pågående urbanisering och klimatförändringar ställer ökade krav på hållbar stadsutveckling i svenska storstadsregioner. Samtidigt minskar tillgången till grönområden i tätbebyggda miljöer, vilket påverkar både ekosystemtjänster och människors livskvalitet. Gröna tak har under senare år lyfts fram som en möjlig naturbaserad lösning för att möta dessa utmaningar. Syftet med denna studie är att underOngoing urbanization and climate change place increasing demands on sustainable urban development in Sweden’s major metropolitan regions. At the same time, access to green spaces in densely built environments is decreasing, affecting both ecosystem services and human quality of life. In recent years, green roofs have been highlighted as a potential nature-based solution to address these challenges
