The dune regions of the Curonian Spit are undergoing a gradual deflation and transformation towards a vegetated surface as a result of extensive forestation and dune stabilization efforts limiting sand input to the dunes. Current dune monitoring in the Spit relies mostly on field levelling, whereas radar interferometry – used extensively in land surface monitoring elsewhere – is not utilized. This
The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in M&A performance between specialist and generalist serial acquirers. This study employs an event study methodology to estimate the abnormal returns associated with each acquisition. Subsequently, multiple regression analysis is conducted to examine the relationship between these abnormal returns and the classification of acquirors as ei
In the rapidly evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal tool reshaping how founders navigate uncertainty and allocate resources. Grounded in Sarasvathy’s dual logics of causation (predictive, goal-oriented planning) and effectuation (adaptive, resource-driven experimentation), this study investigates whether AI reinforces entrepreneurs’ default
Mental health services increasingly seek ways to implement Learning Health Systems (LHS) to enhance care quality of patients. This bachelor's thesis focuses on DIALOG+, a structured tool used in psychiatry designed for patient-centered communication. By visualizing and analysing data from DIALOG+, continuous learning can be supported within clinical settings to improve treatment and organizati
This study examines the effect the ADHD traits hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness have on entrepreneurs during the planning of the pre-launch phase. Using Person-Environment Fit theory, Dual Pathway Model, and Coping-Dueling-Fit theory, this study explores how cognitive and emotional difficulties associated with ADHD impact entrepreneurial planning. The data was collected through a qual
There is still limited understanding of how entrepreneurial identity evolves over time and what the consequences of such changes are. Entrepreneurs in the creative industry is an interesting field to study identity work due to the ongoing tension between the commercial drive for growth and financial success and the creative pursuit of artistic authenticity and expression. This study, refers to the
Abstract Title: More Than Money: Human and Social Capital in Financing Swedish Innovative Small Enterprises. Seminar Date: 03/06 - 2025 Course: Degree Project: New Venture Creation- Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Lund University School of Economics and Management, 15 ECTS Authors: Daniel Milde & Gustav Lingevik Supervisor: Joakim Winborg Keywords: Entrepreneurial finance, Human capital, Soci
A challenge when predicting physiological corrosion behaviour of biomaterials is the lack of established correlation between the results from in vitro and in vivo studies. This project investigates how the selection of immersion testing method affects the degradation of magnesium based alloys by comparing corrosion rates obtained from three methods: bioreactor, incubator and isothermal calorimetry
This thesis investigates how early-stage FinTech startups integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into strategic decision-making processes under conditions of uncertainty. By employing the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a foundational framework, the study examines the evolving role of AI within each phase of the decision-making cycle. Drawing on nine in-depth interviews with founders a
Den så kallade Standardmodellen är allmänt betraktad som den mest framgångsrika fysikaliska teorin. Den förklarar de allra minsta partiklarna i vårt universum med enorm precision. Tyvärr är den ofullständig. Den förklarar inte vad mörk energi eller mörk materia är. Den förklarar inte varför det finns mer materia än antimateria. Den förklarar inte ens vad gravitation är. Trots alla dessa problem haThe standard model can be tested by measuring the electric dipole moment of the neutron. The standard model predicts |d_n| ~ 10^{-32} ecm while experimental searches have reached a sensitivity of |d_n| < 1.8*10^{-26} ecm. Discovery of a nEDM magnitude above |d_n| ~ 10^{-32} ecm would indicate a CP-violation from beyond the standard model physics. An experiment using a novel technique to combine t

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising alternative by enabling code generation from natural language. However, despite progress, LLMs still struggle with spatial reasoning, structural fidelity, and robustness across diverse GIS datasets. This thesis systematically compares three LLM adaptation strategies, i.e., prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), an
Examensarbetets titel: Mellanchefen som Kommunikatör - Skapandet av Handlingsutrymme i en Komplex Mellanposition Seminariedatum: 2025-06-03 Ämne/kurs: FEKH49, Examensarbete i organisation på kandidatnivå, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Jenny Ryberg, Klara Gaskell-Brown och Alva Fritzell Handledare: Nadja Sörgärde Fem nyckelord: Mellanchef, handlingsutrymme, meningsskapande, meningsgivande, identitet
Although conflict, climate change and natural hazards frequently coincide, consequently affecting human security, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation as well as security risk mitigation are often treated separately in programme implementation. This, however, increases the risk in overlooking the opportunity to address root causes caused and exacerbated by climate change, natural
Koldioxid (CO2) är den viktigaste växthusgasen när det gäller klimatförändringar. För att förstå och minska våra utsläpp behöver vi noggranna metoder för att spåra var koldioxiden kommer ifrån och hur den rör sig i atmosfären. Idag används nationella utsläppsrapporter, men dessa bygger ofta på beräkningar från företag och organisationer som kan vara svåra att verifiera; särskild för mindre nationeCO2 is the most important greenhouse gas in terms of radiative forcing, and it is therefore highly important that we can track our emissions and the effectiveness of carbon sequestration measures. While the national carbon inventories can be highly accurate, there is general conflict of interest, as national carbon inventories are bottom up estimates in part based on self-reportings from private a
This project introduces the development of a digital educational platform designed to strengthen knowledge and awareness of Parkinson’s disease among healthcare personnel, particularly within home care and nursing services. The initiative stems from a recognized need for accessible and disease-specific information, as new employees often do not receive the training and knowledge needed to provide
Early and accurate classification of skin diseases plays a crucial role in improving diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes. This thesis introduces HybridCNNViT, a deep learning algorithm that combines a setup of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) to capture both local texture and global structure from skin lesion images. To address the common issue of class im
Slutsats: Studien visar att unga vuxnas konsumtion av lyxvarumärken i hög grad drivs av emotionella och symboliska motiv. Lyxkonsumtion fungerar inte bara som ett sätt att signalera status, utan också som ett verktyg för självförverkligande och identitetsskapande. Genom att använda lyxprodukter uttrycker individer sin personlighet, stärker sin självkänsla och skapar en känsla av tillhörighet. Conclusions:This study shows that young adults’ consumption of luxury brands is largely driven by emotional and symbolic motivations. Luxury consumption functions not only as a means of signaling status, but also as a tool for self-fulfillment and identity formation. Through the use of luxury products, individuals express their personality, boost their self-esteem, and create a sense of belong
Resultaten visar att beslutet att initiera utdelning bland svenska börsbolag inte kan förklaras enbart av traditionella finansiella nyckeltal som likviditet, lönsamhet och kassaflöde. Istället formas utdelningsbeslutet av en komplex samverkan mellan bolagets strategi, utvecklingsfas, ägarstruktur och ledningens framtidsbedömningar. Särskilt betydelsefullt är inslaget av koncentrerat insiderägande,The results indicate that the decision to initiate dividend payments among Swedish listed companies cannot be explained solely by traditional financial key ratios such as liquidity, profitability, and cash flow. Instead, dividend decisions are shaped by a complex interaction between the company’s strategy, stage of development, ownership structure, and management’s expectations for the future. Par
