Sweden’s grocery distribution is routed through a limited number of upstream hubs and relies on corridors and ferry links. When disruptions affect a hub or a critical link, reallocations propagate fast and travel times increase, with some areas losing coverage temporarily. Decentralising the whole system is costly, so targeted resilience options must be evaluated. The purpose of this thesis is to
This study examines how the establishment of grocery retail in the urban development area of Södra Råbylund in Lund, Sweden, can be understood in terms of collaboration between municipal and private actors. The aim is to analyse how differing temporal logics, discretionary power, and governance arrangements shape the implementation of commercial services in new urban developments. The study is bas
This thesis examines the compatibility of the European Union’s countervailing duties on imports of Chinese battery electric vehicles with World Trade Organization law. Particular focus is given to the causation and non-attribution requirements under Article 15.5 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, in conjunction with the threat of material injury standard under Article 15.7.
QR decomposition (QRD) is a computationally-intensive matrix factorization method which is widely used in signal processing. Meeting the stringent processing budgets of real-time applications necessitates dedicated hardware acceleration. This thesis presents the architecture and Register-Transfer-Level (RTL) implementation of a QRD accelerator based on Givens rotations, specifically designed to ac
Temporal information in episodic memory reflects how experiences are encoded rather than objective elapsed time, giving rise to systematic distortions. These are particularly evident in emotional contexts, consistent with emotion-related biases in attention. The present study investigated whether emotion-driven distortions in remembered temporal distance were explained by encoding-related attentio
In 2020, Zenuity was split up and the new company, Zenseact became a subsidiary to the car manufacturer Volvo Cars, owning 86,5% of the company. In the end of 2022, Volvo Cars acquired the rest of the company and became fully owner of Zenseact. Being a knowledge heavy company with ambitious developers at the core of the organization, Zenseact develops driving assistance software powered by advance
Den ökande andelen variabla förnybara energikällor i det svenska elsystemet har medfört ett växande behov av flexibilitet och balanstjänster. Batterienergilagringssystem betraktas som en nyckelteknik för att möta dessa behov, men deras ekonomiska lönsamhet är i hög grad beroende av marknadens utformning, geografisk placering samt vald operativ strategi. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att analysThe increasing share of variable renewable energy sources in the Swedish power system has led to growing demand for flexibility and balancing services. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are widely regarded as a key technology to meet these needs, yet their economic viability depends strongly on market design, geographical location, and operational strategy. This thesis assesses the revenue pot
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka om skillnader mellan redovisningsregimerna IFRS och K3 samvarierar med svenska företags val av ägarandel vid företagsförvärv samt med innehavstiden av förvärvade företag. Studien analyserar även resultaten i ljuset av redovisningens roll som institutionell faktor. Teori: Studien utgår från Positive Accounting Theory och kompletteras med skuldkontraktshypoPurpose: This study examines whether differences between the accounting regimes IFRS and K3 are associated with Swedish firms’ choice of ownership share in corporate acquisitions and with the holding period of acquired companies. Theory: The study is grounded in Positive Accounting Theory, complemented by debt covenant hypothesis, accounting conservatism, agency theory and institutional theory. Me
This case explores a severe governance and reputational crisis at Archeon Technologies, a fictitious Frankfurt-based global cybersecurity firm. Archeon’s corporate brand is fundamentally built on reliability, regulatory compliance, and trust. However, the company faces a sudden emergency when its founder and CEO, Peter Maier, is linked to Jeffrey Epstein through media leaks and subsequent official
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established treatment for actinic keratosis and selected non-melanoma skin cancers. Still, its broader use is limited by pain, skin irritation, and formulation constraints associated with high photosensitiser concentrations. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a Crystalip®-based topical PDT formulation that enables two-step manufacturing, delivers methyl-amino
This thesis examines the development of cross-border commuting from Skåne to Denmark during the period 1997–2006, with particular attention to the role of the Öresund Bridge in facilitating increased regional integration. The study is grounded in theories of time geography, labour mobility, and center-periphery, which are used to interpret how accessibility and mobility shape participation in an i
This work consists of seven essays, with each concerning a specific subject that is related to architecture. There is additional text, which pertains to this work's examination requirements for graduating the architecture-program at Lund Technical University. This work is a creative explorations through writing as a tool; through text; becoming able to formulate, conceptualize, develop and ext
Within months, everything changed in the autumn of 2024. Northvolt, once the defining symbol of Sweden’s green transition, suddenly found itself at the centre of one of the country’s most serious economic crises in decades. What had been a modern, sustainable fairytale of rapid growth and global ambition turned into a question of survival, ownership, and maintaining the Northvolt name. It is now
Sveriges elproduktion har blivit allt mer volatil till följd av bland annat en ökad andel väderberoende elproduktion i systemet. Detta har resulterat i ett volatilt elpris, där pristoppar uppstår när efterfrågan på el är hög. Detta gör det möjligt för hushåll med kvarts- eller timprissättning att spara pengar genom att flytta sin elanvändning från perioder med höga priser. Mot denna bakgrund blir
This thesis explores the intersection of psychiatric expertise, artificial intelligence (AI), and infrastructural practices through an ethnographic study of the PERSONAE project—an initiative aiming to develop personalised, AI-driven digital treatment for depression within Danish mental healthcare. Drawing on four months of fieldwork, the analysis reveals how anticipatory logics, affective negotia
