Fire models are used increasingly for fire safety assessment in nuclear power plants. Examples of these fire models are CFD models and zone models. When using these models it is important that they are sufficiently verified and validated. In Sweden the majority of fire safety consultants are using FDS, developed by NIST. The verification and validation of this package is intensively done for a num
This study analyzes the implications of nature-based solutions (NBS) for women in the Gambia, in flood prone communities in the context of the Rural Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resilience (RICAR) project. Employing a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and focus group discussions, the thesis investigates gendered differences with the guiding research question “How do nature-based solut
Globally rising levels of economic inequality pose a serious threat to democracy, fostering support for authoritarian governance and eroding respect for democratic values. While substantial research has examined the relationship between economic inequality and democracy, Sub-Saharan Africa remains largely under-researched in this context. This thesis positions itself as an exploratory study aimed
This thesis explores the correlation between green transitions and green gentrification, using the case study of the Western Harbour in Malmö, Skåne. More specifically, through the lens of the Right to the City and Environmental Justice, this thesis looks into the accessibility to green spaces in the Western Harbour for different socio-economic groups. Expert interviews, qualitative surveys with r
The aim of this study is to explore social workers' experiences with work-related stress and coping, along with their attitudes towards holistic methods as tools for stress management. Since social workers are at high risk for burnout and work-related stress, it is of interest to explore whether a holistic approach can contribute to increasing sustainability among social workers. Through quali
Prioriteringar på den kliniska nivån inom hälso- och sjukvården avgör såväl vilka patienter som ska få behandling som vilken behandlingsmetod som ska användas i det enskilda fallet. Även om sådana prioriteringar i vissa fall kan få tämligen långtgående följder för den enskilde är det i dagsläget oklart om dessa kan bli föremål för överklagande. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att undersöka hurClinical-level prioritizations in health care determine both which patients are to receive treatment and which treatment method is to be used in the individual case. Although such prioritizations may, in certain instances, have quite far-reaching consequences for the individual, it is currently unclear whether they may be subject to judicial review. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to exa
20-25% of semi-natural habitat per square-kilometre is required for the provision of local Nature’s Contributions to People. Farmers are key actors in reversing the severe habitat deficits in agricultural regions. Conceptually anchored in the Safe and Just Earth System Boundary Framework and the Tripartite Framework for Mitigation Pathways, this thesis combines a systematic literature review on ho
Mental health problems in Sweden are a growing concern, especially among children and young adults. Child and adolescent psychiatry services (BUP) in Sweden currently have more active cases than in previous years. Consequences of this include an increase in diagnoses of ADHD, a higher risk of suicide among children and young adults, and a growing number of involuntary hospitalisations. The purpose
Supplier performance has become increasingly important for industrial companies as suppliers play acriticalroleinoperationalefficiency,deliveryreliability,andlong-termcompetitiveness. Despite this, many organizations still lack structured systems for evaluating and monitoring supplier per- formance. This thesis addresses this challenge through a case study conducted at Sandvik Rock Processing, whe
Inadequate physical activity constitutes one of today's most significant public health challenges in Sweden and is associated with several physical and mental health risks. At the same time, there is growing evidence that highlights how the built environment shapes opportunities for everyday physical activity. Physical planning can therefore work as an important tool to promote public health.
The European Union’s depoliticized understanding of democracy has consistently been a contested subject within political science. Many studies have focused on the overarching electoral system and the European Commission. Few have delved deeper into the constituent units within the actors. Using Oleart & Theuns’ (2023) hypothesis as a point of departure, we aim to uncover if the Commission’s Di
This report has been written as part of the ERASMUS+ project CLARITY. The aim of CLARITY is to enhance educators' skills for nurturing resilience and reducing climate anxiety of learners through trauma-informed and creative approaches that link inner and outer dimensions of change. Sustainability and climate education tend to focus on environmental facts, whilst little room is given to the human d
This article responds to the general neglect of legal culture in the study of climate mobilities. It presents a case study of climate mobilities in an unplanned settlement in Maputo, Mozambique, exploring how legal culture influenced residents’ decision-making processes as they navigated climate-related risks in their daily lives. We demonstrate that legal culture can facilitate climate mobilities
The impoundment of hydroelectric reservoirs is associated with significant emissions of green house gases. In addition, the loss of the pre-flooded landscape is a substantial factor in the long-term carbon footprint of hydroelectric reservoirs. The Paix-des-Braves reservoir in Québec was one of the first reservoirs to be studied in regards of its total carbon footprint, combining pre- and post-imp

This thesis investigates how discrete-event simulation (DES) can serve as decision support for evaluating the performance of an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) within the inbound material flow at Company X. The AS/RS, referred to as the Highbay, has been identified as the primary bottleneck of the inbound material flow at the factory. Its performance is therefore a major concern, pa
