This thesis explores how public libraries in Lund, Sweden, and various regions of Nepal function as inclusive community spaces. Drawing on ethnographic methods including observation, interviews, digital ethnography, and surveys, it compares the everyday experiences of library users in two different national contexts. Grounded in theories of the public sphere by Habermas and Risse, and their critiq
This thesis examines how regulatory frameworks and material standards influence the design of fire safety in military submarines, using the A26 submarine programme as a case study. Although military naval regulations exist, they frequently rely on civilian standards, particularly the IMO FTP Code, which limits the ability to justify materials that may be more suitable for submarine environments. T
This study examines how formal and informal barriers are manifested within an ESF-funded labour market project in Sweden and how these barriers affect participants’ opportunities for labour market establishment. Despite strong policy ambitions to promote inclusion and gender equality, previous research indicates that labour market interventions may reproduce unequal outcomes in practice. Therefore

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) is one of the most famous works of fiction ever written and thus much has already been said about it. Recent criticism of the novel has identified the presence of transhumanist themes in Victor Frankenstein’s quest to create a new superior species and defeat death. Several thought-provoking retellings of Shelley’s story have been published since the formation of
The current construction industry produces enormous quantities of wood waste, much of which is not utilised, despite wood being a renewable and versatile material. This thesis introduces a computational framework to repurpose wood offcuts into modular, load-bearing components for small-scale architectural applications. The goal is to transform discarded wood into valuable building elements by leve
This study examines the linguistic characteristics of the speech of female villains in Japanese fictional dialogue, with the aim of determining whether female villains employ a distinct role language or yakuwarigo, that is, a distinct speech style that indexes characterization based on social stereotypes. An original, small-scale corpus was constructed consisting of dialogue from female villains,
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze how tone and language use in CEO letters in the annual reports of Swedish listed real estate companies vary between economic upturns and downturns, and to examine how the narrative presentation during economic downturns relates to the companies’ financial key performance indicators. The study takes its point of departure in the real estate sector’s
Oskarhamn 3 är en av Sveriges sex kärnreaktorer som fortfarande är i drift. O3 konstruerades på 1980-talet och många centrala system och komponenter är fortfarande orginal. Eftersom reaktorn planeras vara i drift i minst 20 år till finns tydliga incitament till modernisering, bland annat genom digitalisering. Detta examensarbete syftar till att bidra till denna modernisering genom att undersöka hu
The third round of NDCs were due to be released in the lead up to COP30 in November 2025, with parties to the Paris Agreement set to detail commitments to more ambitious emissions reductions. The content of past NDCs have differed greatly depending on which country is submitting the document, especially in how well gender is integrated across actions for NDC implementation. Previous studies show t
Extracting financial Key Performance Indicators from annual reports is one of many manual tasks in the banking sector. This can be automated with Machine Learning techniques such as Question Answering, Named Entity Recognition, Entity Relation, Text-to-Sql, or Retrieval Augmented Generation. In this thesis, different models performances are evaluated when extracting KPIs from annual reports, both
I den här uppsatsen undersöks hur ofta damfotboll förekommer och hur den framställs i La Gazzetta dello Sport under det europeiska mästerskapet i fotboll för damer 2025. Analysen bygger på en kvantitativ genomgång av samtliga fotbollsartiklar och en kvalitativ granskning av artiklar om damfotboll i tidningens nationella upplaga under perioden 1-28 juli. I den kvantitativa delen jämförs herr- och d
Agriculture plays a central role in the economy of Nepal, serving as a major source of income and employment for much of the population. This study was conducted as part of the Solar Food: Reducing Post-harvest Losses project, a collaboration between Lund University, Kathmandu University, and The Royal Institute of Bhutan. The project aims to design solar dryers to reduce post-harvest losses in ru
The land use, land-use change, and forestry sector (LULUCF) has historically been rather unregulated. Recent political developments have put pressure on countries to implement practices that increase net greenhouse gas (GHG) removals and improve the state of carbon sinks. One of these political developments is the European Union’s (EU) LULUCF Regulation, which as of now obligates Member States (MS
The power grid is a fundamental part of the infrastructure that supports modern society, and its importance continues to grow as electrification increases. Furthermore, the rise of renewable energy is changing the operations and structure of power grids. Adding to this complexity is the increasing number of smart devices that are vulnerable to cyberattacks from ill intended adversaries. This creat
In February 2023, South Africa was placed on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) greylist, raising concerns about the effects of this decision on the country. Existing studies focus mainly on macroeconomic indicators and legal analysis, with little evidence on how people experience greylisting. This thesis explores how key financial, regulatory and policy stakeholders perceive the economic, reg
I samband med oroliga tider har existentiell hälsa har blivit en växande folkhälsofråga i Sverige. Sedan början av 90-talet har existentiell hälsa beforskats vid sidan om exempelvis psykisk och somatisk hälsa. Forskningen har påvisat ett positivt samband med andra hälsodimensioner, samt med resiliens och allmän livskvalitet. Syftet med denna studie är att ge en fördjupad förståelse för vad existenAs society is faced with troubled times, existential health has become a growing public health concern in Sweden. Existential health has been established as a field of health science since the early 1990s. The research has demonstrated a positive relationship with other health dimensions such as mental and somatic health, as well as to resilience and to general quality of life. The aim of this stu
Klimatförändringar förväntas öka frekvensen och intensiteten av klimatrelaterade risker, vilket i sin tur kan leda till så kallade Natech-olyckor, definierade som industriella olyckor där klimatrisker orsakar sekundära teknologiska händelser. Svenska industriverksamheter som hanterar farliga ämnen omfattas av Sevesolagstiftningen, där krav finns på att beakta sådana risker. Samtidigt är Natech-risClimate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, which in turn may lead to Natech accidents, defined as industrial accidents in which natural hazards trigger secondary technological events. Swedish industrial establishments that handle hazardous substances are subject to the Seveso legislation, which requires such risks to be taken into account. At the same ti
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kabinpersonal upplevde övergången mellan yrkesroll och privatliv, samt hur uniform, kollegialt och organisatoriskt stöd och organisationens känsloregler påverkade denna process. Studien hade sin utgångspunkt i teorier om emotionellt arbete, dramaturgisk rollteori och enclothed cognition. En kvalitativ ansats med en abduktiv forskningsdesign användes. DatainThe aim of this study was to examine how cabin crew experienced the transition between their professional and private roles, and how uniforms, collegial and organizational support, and the organization’s emotional rules influenced this process. A qualitative method with an abductive research design was used. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five female cabin crew members
