This thesis aims to address a dual crisis. Globally, the construction industry relies on a linear “take-make-dispose” approach and a “tabula rasa” tactic in each novel project, draining the Earth’s resources. Locally, around a half of residential buildings in Riga, Latvia, are of Soviet mass housing typology. These structures are on the verge of structural expiration, at risk of progressive collap
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an expanding role in infectious disease surveillance and intervention planning by enabling analysis of large-scale health data. One of the key challenges in this area is to characterize transmission within households and to identify factors that influence both infectivity and susceptibility. The present study focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic, which not only
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014, the EU and NATO have strengthened resilience, preparedness, and critical infrastructure policies in response to evolving transboundary threats. However, cascading climate risks, defined as cross-border and cross-sectoral impacts intensified by climate change, have the potential to be insufficiently understood and integrated into EU and NATO frameworks
Our way of handling the climate crisis is not fast or ambitious enough. We have the opportunity to plan for a better future, not just accept the consequences of our failure. To plan for a better future, we first need to conceptualise a vision of a desired end-point, in this case a climate-neutral and sustainable city. This essay is meant to inspire radical change by using and expanding the radical
Access to digital infrastructure in highly digitalized societies is shaped not only by the availability of technology but also by the administrative arrangements that govern access to it. This study examines how non-EU international students at Lund University experience and navigate exclusion from Sweden’s digital financial infrastructure through the case of Swish, a mobile payment system widely
Technical drawings play an important role in many industrial processes, including product development, manufacturing, and lifecycle management, by representing the product definition. The purpose of the study was to investigate which processes influence technical drawing creation and management, what challenges are associated with these processes, and how these challenges can be addressed through
This thesis presents the design and schematic-level simulation of a highly linear mixer-first receiver front-end implemented in CMOS, targeting improved robustness against strong input signals. The proposed architecture employs a current-mode passive mixer directly loaded by a low-impedance transimpedance amplifier (TIA) in order to minimize the voltage swing at the mixer output and thereby enhanc
Developing high-temperature proton exchange membranes (HT-PEMs) that simultaneously achieve high proton conductivity, strong phosphoric acid (PA) retention, and long-term chemical stability remains a major challenge, particularly due to PA-induced plasticization and radical-induced oxidative degradation. Here, we develop a side-chain engineering strategy to decouple PA-binding sites from the polym
With approximately 94 percent of traffic accidents being caused by human error, improving driver behaviour has the potential to save lives. To encourage safer driving, Volvo Cars is developing a Safety Coach feature for their mobile application. However, pilot studies of a minimum viable product (MVP) indicated low user retention, suggesting the need for design elements that better support user en
Universities are widely understood to be sites of free expression, knowledge-seeking institutions that serve the public good while encouraging personal development of individuals. They typically uphold and communicate institutional integrity and ethics, seeking to encourage open communication, equip students with critical thinking, and foster civil participation. For the Social Sciences, questions
OBJECTIVE: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are chronic, relapsing inflammatory diseases, yet reliable biomarkers for detecting relapse and organ involvement remain limited. This study aimed to identify plasma protein biomarkers that distinguish active disease from remission and to explore markers associated with lung and kidney involvement.METHODS: Plasma
Background: Data are lacking on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) trajectory following myocardial infarction (MI). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of LVEF trajectory after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for MI on long-term outcomes. Methods: Patients undergoing PCI for MI (2007-2022) with serial echocardiograms were identified in the Swedish Coronary Angiograp
The continuum mechanics fatigue model operates on state variables that are continuous in time, unlike cycle-counting-based methods that rely on deconstructing stress histories into a set of distinct cycles. This way, the continuum-based approach provides a modeling framework that, in principle, can handle arbitrary stress histories. Despite its successful application for a wide range of problems,
