Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology has experienced phenomenal success in the application of wireless charging of smartphones. With the Qi Specification becoming the dominant standard, wireless charging's convenience goes beyond cable-free charging to facilitate interoperability between chargers and devices from different vendors. For wireless charging to operate correctly, the power tr
A modern automotive vehicle is a complex technical system, containing many electronic, mechanical, and software parts. Typically, a high-end vehicle contains 70 or more electronic control units (ECUs) on average. These are controlling a large number of distributed functions, of which many are safety-critical, and adding complexity, which is surpassing 100 million lines of code. Furthermore, the co
Human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) is a complex formed by human alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid that displays tumoricidal activity but does not kill healthy, differentiated cells. As the sequence of alpha-lactalbumin is conserved among mammals, lactalbumins from other species are expected to form oleic acid complexes with similar activity. This study investigated the tumo
The aim of the study was to explore how masculinity is problematized by young men to create a better understanding for how specific masculinity ideal and norms may affect men’s tendency to seek help for, and cope with, emotional problems. The method chosen for this study was a qualitative analysis of two different YouTube-videos with masculinity as a subject. To analyse my result, I used Connell’s
The aim of the thesis is to contribute to an increased understanding on how the expression of the so-called anti-gender movement is articulated in the media debate concerning The Swedish Gender Equality Agency. The aim is also to understand how the criticism directed at the Swedish Equality Authority in Sweden is placed in a larger contemporary context of antigender mobilizations. This will be don
Climate change is greatly affecting the world’s seas in many ways, but of those particularly at risk, are inland seas such as the Baltic Sea. In spite of this though, there still remains a large gap in our understanding of how multiple stressors can change these systems over time. Therefore, as a way to assess how copepod and phytoplankton species groups are changing within the Kattegat, multideca
Is the management of Type 1 Diabetes best left to the medical sciences, or do the social sciences have a stake as well? In ‘Sweet Blood Surveillance,’ I push back against the perceived domination of scientific objectivity to make space for the subjective experience of diabetes in the maintenance of glucose levels through a collaboration with medical technical objects. To accomplish my task, I crea
The following paper aims to examine and discuss the gig-economy and the workers that I call “giggare” from a cultural analysis-perspective. In this essay I hope to answer these three questions: In what way does labour operate in a material and technological aspect? How does flexibility shape the work and the worker? And how is the body of the worker visible in the labour? The study is based on the
Denna rapport utgör en masteruppsats vid Lunds Universitet. Målet med studien är att undersöka kraven i det svenska referensverket AMA Anläggning. Kraven säger att den organiska halten i undergrunden inte får överstiga 2 vikt% i fyllnadsmaterialet. Både vad gäller cykelvägar och vanliga vägar. I denna studie utreddes detta krav utifrån flera infallsvinklar. Aspekter så som cykelkomfort, bärighet, This report constitutes a master thesis at Lund University. The aim of the study is to investigate a requirement in the Swedish reference book AMA Anläggning. The requirement says that the organic content in the earth foundation cannot exceed the level of 2 weight% of filling material. Both for bike paths as well as regular roads. In this thesis, this requirement is investigated by several entry a
I detta examensarbete undersöks databasen Plantfacts som innehåller data om stålverk från hela världen. Syftet med detta är att utvärdera om det finns en koppling mellan primärt och sekundärt producerat stål och olika typer av stålverk i downstream-processer. För att utföra detta har databasen formaterats om i Excel med hjälp av Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Från början var Plantfacts databIn this thesis the Plantfacts database is investigated, which contains data about steel plants from all over the world. The purpose is to evaluate wheter there is a coupling between primary and secondary steel and different types of steel plants in downstream processes. To achieve this, the database has been reformatted using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel. Initially, the Plantfacts
Lysosomes are cell organelles in charge of degradation. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) causes the leakage of cathepsins and other digestive enzymes into the cytosol from lysosomal cavities. This usually causes the initiation of cell death. LMP can be triggered by many stimuli and this could potentially be used in new therapeutic approaches for removing cancer cells. However, excessive L
The subject of diophantine approximation is a classical mathematic problem, as old as it is well studied. There are many different texts describing its connection to more modern areas of study, but few which do so with the aim of exploring the connections themselves. This paper aims to serve as an introduction to diophantine approximation, and to expose some properties common between two dynamical
The essay aims to examine alternative forms of housing, especially collective solutions and to design a cohousing project. The idea is to broaden our perception of housing and further study the possibilities of cohousing in relation to the more complex needs and different lifestyle of today. The housing market of today is still based upon the idea of an autonomous nuclear family with a lot of priv
This paper explores the process of transitioning to a rural, self-sustainable lifestyle in terms of ecological sustainability and geographical place, while focusing on how these concepts serve to motivate change and create a sense of purpose. It further analyzes how aspects of structural power may facilitate or impede the transition into self-sufficiency. The study consists of ethnographically ga
