This thesis investigates everyday misrecognition of Roma flower-sellers in Istanbul’s Ataşehir district, focusing on how they navigate ethnically mixed neighborhoods and workplaces. Drawing on Honneth’s recognition theory, Giles’s critique, and Gramsci’s cultural hegemony, it examines how racialization and normative discrimination shape daily interactions. Based on one month of ethnographic fieldw
Hybrid detectors, consisting of semiconductor sensors bonded to a readout Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are widely used for single-photon detection in photon science and high-energy physics. The Timepix3 readout chip provides precise Time-over-Threshold (ToT) and Time-of-Arrival (ToA) measurements, making it a valuable tool for sensor characterization. This thesis presents the
This study looked at a fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment on different types of polyester textiles in order to test the durability of the treatment in simulated wear-and-tear tests in collaboration with Thule Group. This research was being done in order to gain a deeper understanding in the strengths and limitations of the C0 Water-Repellent (C0WR) treatment on polyester textiles. The stu
This master’s thesis examines similarities and differences in operational work, training, and the use of technology related to Smart Firefighting in Sweden and Hong Kong. Smart Firefighting has been proposed as a response to challenges arising from modern urban development, where data from smart buildings, combined with AI and digital tools, could support fire and rescue services. However, such da
This thesis focuses on how online activists react to online censorship imposed onto them by social media platforms and how the reactions shape the activists’ responses to the censorship. It does so by deploying a qualitative interview study design onto how Swedish individuals who advocate for Palestine online experience and respond to digital censorship on Meta’s social media platforms. In the st
Climate change poses serious questions about how social work can address environmental issues. This study departs from an ecosocial approach and aims to explore how social workers in Sweden conceptualize and respond to climate change in social work practice. This study employed a thematic analysis where the collected data consisted of qualitative semi-structured interviews with four social work pr
The rapid evolution of machine learning techniques has revolutionized computer vision, particularly with the introduction of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and the optimization of 3D Gaussians for rendering novel scene views. These methods, such as NeRF and Gaussian Splatting, have demonstrated success in synthetic data scenarios with consistent lighting and well-captured scenes. This research expl
Global population growth presents challenges to sustainable food and energy produc- tion. Transitioning to renewable energy sources, like solar power, requires significant land allocations, conflicting with the need for arable farmland. Agrivoltaics (AV) offers a potential solution by integrating crops and solar panels on the same land. Ensuring consistent and adequate agricultural output alongsid
Biodiesel is an important alternative to ordinary diesel when limiting the effects on the climate. However, the production path of biodiesel produces a wastewater with a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and it needs to be cleaned. The aim of this study was to characterise biodiesel wastewater as well as to suggest treatment options. The biodiesel wastewater studied came from a biodiesel plant i
Tekniken för millimetervågor har fått stor uppmärksamhet inom 5G-kommunikation tack vare att ett stort spektrum finns tillgängligt i frekvensområdet för millimetervågor. Men mm-våglänkarna lider av allvarlig bana-förlust och atmosfärisk absorption. Strålformning,, att skapa riktade strålar som kan riktas åt olika håll med hjälp av ett stort antal antenner, är en lovande lösning till dessa utmaningMillimeter wave (mmWave band) technology has gained a lot of attention in 5G communications, due to large amounts of spectrum being available in the mmWave frequency range. However, mmWave links suffer from severe free-space loss and atmospheric absorption. Beamforming, which generates directed beams with strong gain using multiple antennas, is one promising solution towards these challenges. In t
As our way of living exploits the resources of the earth and our energy use keeps on increasing, we are now facing a climate crisis never seen before in modern time. To face these consequences and try to ease the harm we need to transform our extraction and use of energy. The use of chemical energy carriers and fuel cells offers the possibility of a completely green solution for energy distributio
Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica, is a highly invasive alien species which has spread in Europe and America since it was introduced in the middle of 1800. Its ability to outcompete and suppress native plants and combined with its resilience and regenerative properties makes it difficult to control. Therefore, multiple methods have been tried to control this plant, but with varying success. T
Problem definition Nowadays society is very concerned with sustainability. Companies try their best to meet sustainability customers’ expectations and regulations. The adoption of Lean and Six Sigma could bring sustainability improvements, but it is not clear how these three areas are combined and how they are currently addressed by companies. Purpose Explore the relationship between Lean, Six Sig
Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu
Title: Disability Free Lifetime Expectancy for men and women in Skåne using Sullivan’s Method. Author: Daniel Åström Supervisors: Jan Lanke and Juan Merlo Aim: The aim of the thesis is to investigate if differences in DFLE between genders and between 2000 and 2004 can be detected in Region Skåne Method: Using data from Region Skåne’s Folkhälsoenkät new weights for the data set have been computed a
Objective: To limit the research time by developing a theoretical model, that can predict the lifetime of a wheel with the help of different input values. Apart from a theoretical model, also create a different type of test rig that can decrease the testing time, and still produce an accurate result similar to a real situation. Method: This Master’s Thesis was based on both an investigatory method
India has a composite federal structure comprising of 28 States with a strong unitary bias. A majority of rivers in India crisscross the political boundaries of two or more States. The river waters often give rise to inter-State water conflicts. Most of the conflicts are normally resolved by way of mutually agreeable water sharing agreements. However, in the cases of intransigence, the Constitutio
The bachelor thesis contains a presentation of three NGOs working for sustainable housing and infrastructure development for the low-income families in Costa Rica and Nicaragua and the future prospect of introducing a wider range of multi-storey buildings. A high number of the Central American population live in densely populated slums in urban areas with harsh living conditions far below the pove
This thesis is focused on exploring what insights a human ecological perspective could provide on the understanding and practice of political consumerism. This is divided and conducted in two sections, the first section is a theoretical discussion which is devoted to defining political consumerism and reconseptualizing some aspects and components of it as well as to positioning it in a wider and m
