Cities and local governments are increasingly under pressure to accelerate transformative change in energy and climate transitions. To help cities in their climate actions, the European Commission (EC) has established the EU Cities Mission, which aims for climate neutrality by 2030 for participating cities. The literature argues that one of the main obstacles to accelerating decarbonization lies i
An ideal form of smart city planning would focus on the availability of urban amenities that can meet the basic needs of a resident’s material life, civil connections, and humanistic spirit. Previous studies have concentrated on analyzing the spatial distribution of urban services, with less attention on their contribution as local urban amenities. In this study, we propose a spatial dynamic model
This paper studies if attendance to one of the first types of formal childcare establishments in early twentieth century Sweden helped children escape adverse socioeconomic circumstances in the short and long term. It uses individual longitudinal data from a middle-sized Swedish industrial town, linked to individual data on attendance to the local pre-school (for children in ages 2-7), and follows
Songbird migration involves frequent migratory flights interrupted by several days of stopover to refuel. For first-year migratory birds, this entails stopping in unfamiliar locations to exploit local resources and maximise fuelling rates. However, stopovers also pose mortality risks due to predator presence. We aimed to determine whether auditory cues from avian predators with differing hunting s
Quantum information science has leaped forward with the exploration of high-dimensional quantum systems, offering greater potential than traditional qubits in quantum communication and quantum computing. To advance the field of high-dimensional quantum technology, a significant effort is underway to progressively enhance the entanglement dimension between two particles. An alternative effective st
Uncertainty in the mechanical properties and modal characteristics of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) significantly impacts its predictive design and analysis. While previous studies have focused on identifying sensitive mechanical properties of CLT using model updating, the uncertainty quantification of these properties and their influence on natural frequencies and modes remain underexplored. This
Introduction: Tumor deposits are an important negative prognostic factor for long-term oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer patients, independent of lymph node status. Several novel models have been proposed to further integrate tumor deposits into the TNM-staging system, but their comparative performance remains unclear. The aim of this study was to identify, compare and validate novel progn
Atomic vacancies are primordial for controlling the photocatalytic activity of perovskites. On the one hand, they are useful adsorption sites and help narrow the band gap, but they may also trap the electron-hole pair created after light absorption. Its precise control, although essential, is hardly achieved with traditional methods. In this work, an alternative experimental approach is employed t

Capacity shortages in electricity grids can impose significant costs on society due to missed investments in industry. Due to limited profit opportunities and long lead times, grid reinforcements are not a viable solution to the problem, which must therefore be prevented through efficient use of existing grid resources. Local flexibility markets can financially compensate electricity users to shif
This thesis demonstrates how neoliberal urbanism has unrolled in the context of the Danish non-profit housing sector, using the case of Copenhagen neighbourhood Tingbjerg as a case study. Arguing that this process has significantly altered the relations of power within the neighbourhood, it further investigates the mode of resistance emerging locally as a response. Danish non-profit housing has be
The purpose of our study was to examine the attitude of police officers toward collaborating with social services in exit programs, with a specific focus on organizational conditions and the relationship between the authorities. The empirical data consisted of interviews with six police officers, three of whom are based in Malmö, Sweden. The other three were located in different local police distr
This thesis examines how state strategies and transnational lifestyles co-produce identities in Hong Kong and Singapore. Both global city-states share colonial legacies, open economies, and roles as regional hubs, yet differ in nation-building trajectories and governance structures. Drawing on Bourdieu’s habitus and field theory and Jessop’s strategic-relational approach, the study conceptualises
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect exacerbates environmental degradation, growing energy demand, and public health risks, especially in densely populated and vulnerable Mediterranean urban communities. This study investigates the spatial heterogeneity of the UHI effect in Barcelona from 2015 to 2023 by integrating multi-source geospatial data and interpretable machine learning techniques. Using Go
This paper expands on the literature on labor market power and its impact on wages. With previous studies having focused on labor market concentration, this paper reviews theoretical background for firm heterogeneity and argues firm size inequality (FSI) presents an alternative theoretical framework through which labor market power can be evaluated. The paper then quantitatively estimates the impa
Energigemenskaper lyfts som en del i omställningen till ett mer hållbart energisystem, där lokal produktion, lagring och delning av energi kan öka användningen av förnybar energi. Samtidigt innebär ny teknik en ökad klimatpåverkan i tillverkningsskedet, vilket gör att den totala klimatnyttan inte är självklar. Idag är det svenska elsystemet redan till stor del fossilfritt och förutsättningarna skiEnergy communities are increasingly recognized as a key element in the transition towards a more sustainable energy system, enabling local production, storage and sharing of energy. However, new technologies also introduce additional climate impacts from manufacturing, making the overall climate benefit uncertain. The Swedish energy system is already to a large extent fossil-free, and the conditio
Land inequality remains a pressing global issue, and redistributing land is widely regarded as an important tool for reducing poverty and promoting rural development. Prior land redistribution efforts have produced inconsistent results, raising questions about the factors shaping implementation effectiveness. This thesis examines how the landed elite, a group whose power is rooted in landownership
Northwest China's arid climate and fragile ecosystems are becoming wetter and greener. However, the rapid expansion of photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure in this region alters land-atmosphere interactions, with potential consequences for local climate and water resources. Here, we use a combined climate and dynamic vegetation modeling approach to assess the effects of hypothetical PV deployment acro
Topicalization: The IO/DO Asymmetry in Icelandic* Elena Callegari and Anton Karl Ingason University of Iceland Abstract In this paper, we investigate differences in the frequency of direct-object versus indirect-object topicalization (i.e. fronting with no accompanying pronom- inal resumption) in Icelandic using the Icelandic Parsed Historical Corpus. We find that the overall incidence of DO topic
