1. The paint loss of Callmander’s stained glass windows: An investigation of the prevalence and causes behind the paint loss on Callmander and Svenska Glasmåleri AB’s stained glass windows
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvårdSammanfattning : This MA-thesis investigates the loss of grisaille paint in the stained-glass windows created by the artist Reinhold Callmander and Svenska Glasmåleri AB, with the aim of understanding the prevalence as well as the reasons behind the issue. Stained glass has historically been in the periphery of conservation. LÄS MER
2. Writing Your Way out of a Cage : Agency and Dehumanization in Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad
Master-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur (from 2013)Sammanfattning : This thesis analyzes the conceptualization of agency as a form of resistance against dehumanizing slavery discourses present in the narrative The Underground Railroad (2016) by Colson Whitehead. For the historical contextualization and the theoretical background, the scholarly work Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi is used. LÄS MER
3. Structural analysis of HZO thin film and electrode using X-ray diffraction
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenSammanfattning : Since its discovery in 2011, the ferroelectricity of thin films based on HfO2 has been studied intensively. In particular, thin films with a 1:1 ratio of HfO2 and ZrO2 (HZO) has been of great interest. The ferroelectricity arises from a non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic (o) phase of HZO whose prevalence is dependent on the processing conditions. LÄS MER
4. If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. This study stands among a few comprehensive dendrochemical investigations that utilized an extensive dataset and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique to reconstruct the contamination history of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, with a focus on Cu.

5. Investigating the potential correlations between metal and metalloid concentrations and soil color : A Minor Field Study on the island province of Marinduque, Philippines
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : This study was carried out as a bachelor's thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology during the spring of 2023, investigating the correlation between the color with the concentration of various metal and metalloids (MMs) in the soil of Marinduque, The Philippines. With a history of mineral exploitation, notably copper and gold, the island has faced persistent environmental challenges, exemplified by the catastrophic waste spills in 1993 and 1996 that contaminated the Boac and Mogpog Rivers.
