Furthermore, the study will explore the opportunities, limitations, and ethical dilemmas that emerge in this professional work. The study will adopt a qualitative research approach and is based on six semi-structured interviews with
There is a market gap regarding diversity within plant-based beverages with a complete amino acid profile. For this reason, new ingredients that could be used for the formulation of two plant-based drinks were researched: one combining raw ingredients like seeds, and the other one using protein isolates. Once the final formulations were decided, the resulted drinks included a beverage made of quin
Bakgrund: Självständighet hos äldre personer är ett komplext begrepp som inte enbart handlar om fysisk funktionsförmåga utan även om autonomi, delaktighet och möjlighet att påverka sin vardag. Många äldre personer är beroende av hemtjänstinsatser inom instrumentella aktiviteter i dagliga livet (IADL). Syftet: Syftet var att undersöka hur äldre personer upplever att hemtjänstinsatser i IADL påverka
Device location is a practical problem in indoor wireless deployments. Without knowing where devices are positioned in a building, technicians struggle to locate failing equipment, understand coverage issues, and perform maintenance on devices. To facilitate technicians, they often get elevated access to the intranetwork, which not only gives them access to everything, but they still fail to know
Beer brewing relies on the conversion of starch into fermentable sugars. However, in traditional mashing, 3–37% of starch remains unutilized. This is partly attributed to the protein matrix in barley malt, which traps small B-type starch granules and impedes the breakdown of the starch. This study aimed to investigate if applying hydrodynamic cavitation during mashing improved the conversion of to
Natural products are of great interest for a variety of powerful applications that are related to the biological activity of small organic molecules inspired by nature. While the landscape of natural products is structurally abundant, their occurrence in nature is very scarce, posing a challenge to isolate them in quantities required to be studied and used in pharmaceutical application. This work

The purpose of this study is to investigate how school counselors describe their work in conversations about gender identity and sexuality with high school students, with particular attention paid to the importance of language and ethical considerations. This study is a qualitative method study, based on interviews with school counselors in southern Sweden. The results show that school counselors
The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers and school personnel's experience of child participation in CIP meetings, with a particular focus on children with NDD. More specifically, the study aimed to explore how child participation was facilitated within these meetings. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with four social workers, one teacher, and tw
Tetra Pak is a world leading food processing and packaging company. Their manufacturing operations often rely on specialized and highly customized equipment. While the purchasing volumes for such equipment are typically low and irregular, the equipment itself is critical for operational continuity. This creates situations of asymmetric dependence where supplier bankruptcy, product discontinuation,
Companies play a central role in international efforts to counteract ongoing biodiversity loss, which threatens human welfare and the global economy. They are expected to use biodiversity metrics and indicators in strategic sustainability work to understand and manage their impacts and dependencies on biodiversity. At the same time, this work remains at an early stage and is characterised by sever
Access to digital infrastructure in highly digitalized societies is shaped not only by the availability of technology but also by the administrative arrangements that govern access to it. This study examines how non-EU international students at Lund University experience and navigate exclusion from Sweden’s digital financial infrastructure through the case of Swish, a mobile payment system widely
Emotional labor is a central part of social work, where professionals are expected to show empathy and emotional presence while also staying professional. The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers in client-centered social work experience emotional labor and how it affects their emotional well-being, professional role, and everyday life. It also explored which strategies social w
This qualitative study aimed to examine how social workers experience emotionally demanding work and how they manage emotionally demanding work and how they manage emotions that arise in their professional practice. The study was based on seven semi-structured interviews with social workers employed within Swedish social services, primarily in social assistance. The empirical material was analysed
Komplex mjukvara kräver testning på flera nivåer. Detta examensarbete undersöker automatiserad testning av Radio Block Centre (RBC). En RBC bestämmer hur långt ett tåg får köra och i vilken hastighet. Examensarbetet har tre fokusområden. Det första området undersöker hur nuvarande testscript kan göras mer dynamiska genom att införa slumpmässighet. Slumpmässighet införs genom att variera tåglängd. Complex software must be tested carefully. This thesis looks at how automated testing can be improved for Alstom’s Radio Block Centre, a system that supervises trains and sends movement authorities. The work focuses on three practical ways to improve an existing automated test setup. First, it studies how the test suite can be made more dynamic by introducing randomness into current test scripts.
The macroscopic physical stability and clinical application performance of topical semi-solid formulations are highly dependent on the complex lamellar gel network (LGN) formed within their continuous phase. However, this microscopic three-dimensional scaffold exists in a thermodynamically metastable state and is extremely sensitive to kinetic parameters during the manufacturing process, such as t
Foster care placements constitute a central intervention within Swedish social services. Matching children with suitable foster families is considered essential for ensuring a stable living environment for the child. This matching process relies heavily on documentation and the transfer of information between professionals. This study aims to examine how foster care secretaries use and evaluate do
This thesis examines whether Directive (EU) 2019/2121 ('Mobility Directive') reduces legal fragmentation in the field of cross-border conversions. Using a doctrinal and comparative legal methodology, it analyses the EU framework governing cross-border conversions and compares its implementation in Germany and Denmark. The analysis focuses on three areas in which the Directive leaves Membe
Sweden is today home to a large Iranian and Afghan diaspora respectively. They have come here under vastly different circumstances, but still share some common traits. Language, religion and the cultural traditions are very similar. Despite this, there seems to be a substantial difference in how they relate to the current conflict in Iran. By interviewing people from both groups, we have sought to
