This thesis aims to address the complex legal challenges related to the responsibility of multinational corporations for human rights violations and environmental harm in global supply chains. Starting from the context of increasing pressure on transnational businesses and the shortcomings of soft law instruments such as the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines, the study examines the pot
Rehabilitation exercises are essential for recovery from many injuries, and their practice is guided by physical therapists in order to avoid the risk of further damage. The physical therapists have limited tools for conducting a quantified assessment of movement quality and this study investigates whether machine learning could be used to improve that process. A way to assess movement is to analy
The Azerbaijani city of Shusha stands out as an exemplary place for reconstruction based on the principles of sustainable development in the post-conflict era. This research examines the city of Shusha’s aim of building a sustainable city model from scratch and focuses on two major directions: the transition to solar-based systems in the city’s energy supply and the establishment of a clean transp
Detta examensarbete syftar till att identifiera företag som äger sina verksamhetsfastigheter samt analysera deras förutsättningar att genomföra energieffektiviserande åtgärder. Studien baseras på kommunal registerdata, geografisk analys via Geoportalen samt kvalitativ verifiering genom platsbesök och semistrukturerade företagsintervjuer. Resultaten indikerar att ägarstruktur har stor betydelseEnergy efficiency initiatives targeting businesses often face challenges related to identifying actors with the authority to implement measures. This study examines how property ownership influences companies’ ability to undertake energy efficiency actions. The study was conducted as a case study in Lund municipality and applied a two-step methodology consisting of registry-based mapping and qual
Introduction: Mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation (MARylation) is a post tranlational modification with important roles in stress responses and cellular signaling. Mass spectrometry is an efficient tool for identifying modified amino acid residues, optimisation of parameters is desired to develop an efficient method for detection of MARylation on proteins using the recombinant protein NUDT16. Background: MAR
The number and complexity of modern software systems have increased substantially since their inception. This unrelenting growth is making manual code review more difficult year by year, and the gap between the amount of code and security verification creates a critical need for automated tools that can assist developers in detecting vulnerabilities. A possible solution to this is large language m
The task of matching fixed-order event generation with the parton shower is physically non-trivial and closely related to an efficiency bottleneck of event generators. In this thesis, we examine and implement two novel matching schemes in KrkNLO and MAcNLOPS for the LHC process p p > Z Z. As both schemes generate positive-definite event samples, they can be interesting alternatives to MC@NLO. The
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The performance of DPI formulations is influenced by the properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), but systematic comparative studies of different APIs under the same processing conditions remain limited. This study investigated the effects of di
Micro- and nanoscale pollutants dispersed at low concentrations in the environment pose increasing threats to human health and ecosystems. However, investigating the properties of individual particles remains challenging because conventional characterization methods mainly rely on ensemble measurements. Optical tweezers provide a promising approach for single-particle trapping and open new possibi
In recent years, as 6G wireless systems continue to develop, high-accuracy indoor localization has become increasingly important for future wireless systems. At the same time, reliable indoor positioning is needed by many location-aware applications, such as robotic navigation, emergency healthcare, and smart transportation. Since indoor wireless measurements can vary over time due to multipath pr
Wind damage is one of the most economically and ecologically significant natural disturbances in European forests, yet the cloud cover that follows major storms routinely blocks optical satellite acquisitions for weeks, precisely when rapid damage mapping is most valuable. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) circumvents this limitation through all-weather imaging, but pixel-level windthrow detection fr
Innovation concentrations are increasingly extending beyond metropolitan cores into urban peripheries through science parks, research infrastructures, advanced manufacturing sites, and innovation districts. Yet their physical presence does not necessarily generate long-term local development capacity. Existing research has explained innovation stability largely through agglomeration, proximity, in
This study aimed to examine how interrogation techniques in the form of alpha and omega strategies, as well as a rapport-based approach by the interviewer, were related to engagement and information disclosure in intelligence interviews. The study was conducted through observation and coding of 66 interviews involving a total of 19 interviewees and 6 interviewers in a training-based and realistica
Traditional football analytics largely evaluates players through on-ball events such as shots, passes and dribbles, leaving the much longer periods of off-ball play poorly measured. This thesis develops a spatial framework for evaluating individual player contributions in crossing situations, where a cross is defined as an aerial or driven delivery from a wide area into the central penalty zone. T
Damaged or partially damaged pumps can cause issues that at best is an inconvenience and at worst a catastrophe. In order to prevent such issues it is necessary to catch any potential damage as early as possible. One possible solution is to use a sensor that can be placed on or near a pump in order to monitor it using audio. Audio based fault detection is still a relatively new field of research,
Therapeutic peptides are a fast-increasing segment in the pharmaceutical industry, and GLP-1 analogues stood for two out of the three most sold drugs last year, 2025. The most common production method of peptides is based on Merrifield’s discovery of solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), which uses large volumes of hazardous chemicals like N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), piperidine, and trifluoraceti
Denna studie undersöker hur rollen som kommunal beredskapssamordnare konceptualiseras i kommunala rekryteringsannonser. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av 30 annonser analyseras vilka kunskaper, kompetenser och arbetsuppgifter som tillskrivs rollen. Resultatet visar att beredskapssamordnaren framställs som en hybridroll där specialistkunskap inom civil beredskap kombineras med generella kompet
Brädspel blir alltmer populära, vilket gör det ännu viktigare att deras regelböcker går att läsa och förstå. Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera språkbruket i strategiska brädspel i förhållande till klarspråk och forskning om instruerande text, men också att undersöka spelarnas uppfattning om spelens regelböcker. Metoden för undersökningen består av en textanalys av spelen Terraforming Mars, R
Today, digital pre-distortion (DPD) is the predominant technique for linearising the power amplifiers (PAs) used in telecommunication radio transmitters. However, conventional DPD implementations rely on power-hungry digital signal processing, making energy efficiency a critical concern. Compute in-memory (CiM) architectures have previously been demonstrated to provide significant efficiency gains
This thesis investigates the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods to improve carbon footprint estimation for Integrated Circuit (IC) components in automotive Cost Engineering (CE). The work addresses challenges faced by electrical cost engineers at Volvo Cars: the manual, time-consuming process of collecting component specifications, and estimating Carbon D
