Structural behaviour of shotcrete in hard rock tunnels
Andreas Sjölander has investigated the structural behaviour of fibre-reinforced shotcrete used as rock support. As part of the project, an important tool that can be used in future studies has been developed. Hopefully, the results can be a step towards reducing the use of shotcrete in tunnels and scaling down the overuse that we normally see today.

Authenticity in Bioethics: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice
Jesper Ahlin Marceta has analysed whether it is possible to reliably determine that a patient expresses inauthentic wishes and if a healthcare decision should be overridden for paternalist reasons if it can be determined as inauthentic.
Hopefully, the results can benefit patients suffering from medical conditions that affect their decision-making processes.
