In the face of growing geopolitical uncertainty, climate change, and increasing reliance on complex global supply chains, the issue of security of food supply has gained renewed urgency in Sweden. This thesis investigates how the national security of food supply can be enhanced by integrating the perspectives of stakeholders involved in the Swedish food system. Adopting a qualitative approach, the
This thesis investigates the online “Egypt vs. Masr” trend as an entry point to studying socio-economic disparities and spatial divides in urban Cairo. Drawing on ideas of Pierre Bourdieu and Mike Bailey’s ‘utopia of exclusion’ as criticism of neoliberalism, it aims to make sense of this trend and how it relates to the proliferation of Cairo’s upscale urban developments. As such, this thesis is en
Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and natural hazards and associated disasters both pose significant global threats, with potential for exacerbating intersections. Despite AMR’s growing international priority, the nexus of AMR and hazards/disasters remains underexplored. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the nexus to inform future perspectives and highlight further investigation
This thesis provides a comparative analysis on sustainability chapters in free trade agreements (FTA) from the EU and Australia. It then evaluates the implication this comparison has in light of EU-Australia FTA negotiations. In addition to this, the text utilises a funnel approach by examining broader concepts in order to help answer the research question. This includes the definition of free tra
Denna uppsats undersöker rättslig integrering, tillämpning och rättslig inramning av arbetstagares rättigheter inom ramen för Global Gateway-initiativets verksamhet i Uganda. Genom att tillämpa autopoietisk systemteori analyseras simultant de komplexa sambanden mellan rättsliga, politiska och ekonomiska delsystem. För att fånga både strukturell arkitektur och institutionella realiteter kompletteraThe thesis examines the legal integration, enforcement and framing of labour rights within the Global Gateway Initiative’s engagements in Uganda. Adopting an autopoietic systems theory framework, it simultaneously engages with the communicative interactions of law, politics, and economic strategy. To capture both structural architecture and institutional realities, this systemic approach is comple
Examensarbetet undersöker användandet av koncentrationsförordningens artikel 22 för företagskoncentrationer under tröskelvärdena. Det tar sin utgångspunkt i den växande skara nationella konkurrensmyndigheter som fått befogenhet att kräva anmälan av koncentrationer under tröskelvärdena genom så kallade "call-in powers". Samtidigt som konkurrensmyndigheterna i större utsträckning utrustar This master’s thesis seeks to determine the legality of using Article 22 EUMR for concentrations below the mandatory notification thresholds. It does so against the background of a general proliferation of national call-in powers to require notification of concentrations below the ordinary thresholds. While National Competition Authorities (NCAs) increasingly equip themselves with such powers, unc
When user interfaces are embedded in physical systems and cannot be accessed through conventional screen sharing, remote usability testing becomes challenging. This is increasingly relevant as products are developed for global markets, where remote evaluation is often necessary despite limited user interface access. This study investigates how alternative testing methods can be used and how they i
Steam and water chemistry is fundamental for most power generation on indus trial scale. This includes the dosing of chemicals, the monitoring of both water and steam, as well as understanding the underlying causes to diagnose eventual problems. Öresundsverket, which was designed for seasonal operation, now has to perform multiple starts per year and in meeting these demands there is a possi bilit
Fossil fuel companies have shifted from outright climate denial to subtler strategies of delay. These include low-carbon solutions — carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen — which legitimise and extend fossil fuel dependency. This study examines how low-carbon discourses operate through the media in Singapore, a major refining and petrochemical hub with an authoritarian state-
This thesis tries to examine distributional spatial equity in accessibility to green infrastructure and essential services across DeSO areas in Malmö municipality, Sweden, in 2022. The study investigates how accessibility varies spatially in relation to public parks, public transport stops, schools, and healthcare facilities, and evaluates whether accessibility advantages and disadvantages are dis
This thesis examines how autonomous buses are interpreted and evaluated as a potential mobility solution within a multi-level planning context involving both municipal and regional perspectives. While autonomous vehicles are often framed as a key component of future sustainable transport systems, their implementation depends not only on technological development but also on social acceptance, inst
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
This thesis focuses on how changing the combustion chamber geometry in a small two-stroke engine can improve performance. The engine used for this thesis is a Husqvarna AB chainsaw engine with Schn¨urle porting and air-leading stratified scavenging. Four different combustion chambers were subjected to CFD simulations, and from them two were selected for engine testing. In total, five combustion ch

The construction and real estate sector is a major contributor to global carbon emissions and climate change. Ventilation systems, although essential for maintaining indoor air quality and occupant health, account for a significant share of building operational emissions. In HVAC systems, duct layouts significantly influence ventilation impacts through both the embodied carbon from material produc
This thesis examines the secondary exchange of transferable service access on Xianyu, a Chinese C2C platform increasingly used not only for second-hand goods but also for service-related deals among consumers. These include practices such as restaurant proxy ordering, discount-mediated ordering, alternative booking routes, and membership-based privileges. The study explores how participants find,
Solar drying technologies give smallholder farmers in low- to middle-income countries (LMIC) a low-cost way to reduce post-harvest losses and add value to agricultural produce. Yet bringing solar-dried products to market remains poorly understood, particularly in fragmented food systems where structural conditions shape market entry in ways that standard frameworks do not account for. This thesis
