Due to the constantly increasing threat caused by climate change necessary measures against the current situation needs to be accomplished. This study shows that one potential approach to reach this goal is by a more effective way of energy consumption. In this study the energy use of students in the city of Lund in Sweden was assessed. The purpose of the study was to find out what sort of driving
Rail transport across national borders is complicated today. European member states do not have the same regulations and structure of the network. The European market is divided into national networks based on different technologies and national regulations, which constitutes an obstacle to a common rail network. In order to improve accessibility in Europe, the European Union has, since the early
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sleep leads to more flexible use of defense mechanisms, and linkages between defense structure, anxiety and nightmares, the two conditions, sleep and rest. 69 participants were recruited for the study and they were divided into a sleep group (n = 48) who received a period of sleep during the daytime while the other partcipants (n = 16) rested du
In modern batch plants, alarm floods overwhelming the operator is a common problem of ever increasing severity. As plant hardware increase in complexity and performance, measures such as downtime and meantime between failures, increase in importance and the need for a well-functioning exception handling routine therefore grows critical. In order to minimize downtime and hence boost production effi
This narrative study aims to examine how social pedagogues perceive and relate to violence and threats of violence in a social educational context in Denmark. Furthermore, the study examines how these perceptions affect the relational aspect of the profession. My interest in the subject is sprung out of personal experiences in multiple socio-educational projects. As such, my material is composed b
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is increasingly utilized across various practical domains, requiring continual development and optimization of supporting technologies. An essential aspect of this progress is the efficient testing of WPT Systems. This thesis explores optimization of the testing process using Machine Learning(ML) and data analysis, applied on historical data represented by test outcom
Tissue shortage for lung transplantation remains a problem worldwide as lung transplantation is often the only available option with numerous possible complications. Generating lung tissue ex-vivo has been proposed as one way to potentially overcome this shortage. For this, tissue engineering is one potential strategy to either repair, replace or regenerate damaged tissue and organs. In this thesi
Pediatric leukemias are one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in children, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most reoccurring type of leukemia in pediatric diagnosis. It has previously been found that structural variations are an important underlying mechanism leading to these diseases. Fluo
This thesis investigates the effect of visible articulatory movements on speech comprehension in L1 and L2 listeners of Swedish. Previous research found faciliatory effects on speech perception when speech was presented audiovisually in various settings and under diverse listening conditions for both L1 and L2 listeners. However, it is still not investigated thoroughly, how L2 proficiency affects
This master’s thesis aims to support product-centered companies in their transition to a circular economy (CE) by developing a digital self-assessment and decision support tool. Circularity is a complex field that demands collaboration across multiple system levels. Although a wide range of frameworks, regulations and guidelines exist, the transition remains difficult for companies to navigate. Ex
This thesis presents a comprehensive study of performance characterization and quality control (QC) for the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) silicon strip modules, undertaken in preparation for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade. The work focuses on two aspects: test beam campaigns and thermal cycles. During the test beam campaigns at DESY in October and December 2024, unirradiate
Fatima, f, 34, parent: “It is a small home for our children. They spend many hours here. To us, it is not just daycare. We don’t just come here and drop off our children and say goodbye, then come back in a few hours. They have to feel that this is a home to them”. This ethnographic study of Danish daycares analyses how information is being shared between parents and daycare staff, how conflict is
This paper examines how semi-peripheral states navigate their position between core and periphery through the lens of World-Systems Analysis (WSA) and use of soft and hard power strategies. WSA conceptualises the global economy as divided into core countries and peripheral countries. The former controls capital and high-value production, and the latter supplies raw materials and low-wage labour. S
The purpose of this master thesis is to present a model that illuminates the important factors when deriving technical information from market data within a company. For companies to be able to become and stay competitive in the market, product quality is an important factor. Whilst good product quality leads to customer satisfaction and loyalty, lack of quality brings costs in service and replace
The aim of this study was to look into the discretion that the probation officer executes in cooperating with lay supervisors. In Sweden about fifty percent of the offenders sentenced to probation or on parole have lay supervisors and these supervisors are appointed by the probation officers. I asked the officers what they were looking for in a lay supervisor, certain qualifications or personaliti
In protein formulation, addition of surfactants is commonly executed to enhance product stability and shelf-life. The reason is that surfactants can protect proteins against surface-induced aggregation. However, the interaction between surfactant and protein depends on the type of surfactant used. Anionic surfactants can unfold proteins and form complexes in equilibrium manner. The complex structu
An important factor in preventing food waste is the ability to provide a product with a package according to its needs. The packaging material, in turn, needs to be recyclable in order to contribute to a circular use of materials rather than becoming waste. The aim of this thesis is to examine the difference between the current and future packaging material of coffee produced by Zoégas. The curren
A year after the establishment of the protest camp Palestinagård at Lund’s University in May 2024 and its demolishment by the authorities, the student solidarity movement is continuously engaged in endeavours to get into conversations with the institutions at Lunds University to make their demands heard, as the genocide on the Palestinian population in Gaza is still ongoing. Further, Palestinagård
