1. A Series of Stairs : And the production of meaning through architectural research, architectural typology and architectural representation
University essay from Umeå universitet/Arkitekthögskolan vid Umeå universitetAbstract : Liminal spaces are broadly overlooked within spatial research but are no less significant as spaces in which emotions, identity and meaning might be embedded. Residential staircases are no exception. READ MORE

2. Multi-Scale Topology Optimization of Lattice Structures Using Machine Learning
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanikAbstract : This thesis explores using multi-scale topology optimization (TO) by utilizing inverse homogenization to automate the adjustment of each unit-cell's geometry and placement in a lattice structure within a pressure vessel (the design domain) to achieve desired structural properties. The aim is to find the optimal material distribution within the design domain as well as desired material properties at each discretized element and use machine learning (ML) to map microstructures with corresponding prescribed effective properties.

3. Medicalizing Me Softly: An Autoethnography of Refusal
University essay from Lunds universitet/Graduate SchoolAbstract : This autoethnographic study explores intra-community discursive boundary constructions around the category of transgender articulated by truscum trans men on Reddit. It does so through reflections on how the author negotiates the medical model of trans, his own gender identity, the medico-juridical interlock governing access to trans healthcare and trans livability, and tensions of closeness/distance to those they interview.

4. Approximating the element matrices in an unfitted finite element method using neural networks
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : This study investigates the possibility of combining an unfitted finite element method, CutFEM, with neural networks, in an attempt to reduce the computational time on evolving domains. Finite element methods are used to solve partial differential equations by fitting a spatial and temporal discretisation to the momentous domain. READ MORE

5. Numerical modelling of lime-cementcolumns in the passive zone of excavations in soft clays
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Excavations in soft clays come with a number of specific challenges. The use of lime-cement columns in the passive zone of such works represents a promising solution to some of these problems, such as basal heave stability or excessive deformations. READ MORE
