Amid growing global uncertainty, including war, extreme weather events, and resource instability, self-sufficiency and resilience become crucial. Socio-ecological resilience refers to the capacity of communities to regenerate ecological systems while fostering social cohesion and adaptability. This study aims to establish mechanisms contributing to socio-ecological resilience in a rural setting. A
The Euler equations consist of conservation laws and describe a fluid in motion without viscous forces and heat conduction. They are non-linear and the solutions are often discontinuous. Therefore proofs of convergence are hard to give and the existing results are lacking. A new concept are weakly imposed characteristic boundary conditions, where a priori given boundary data only enter the scheme
Vi har undersökt om det fanns några skillnader mellan vuxna, internationellt adopterades psykiska välbefinnande hos två grupper individer, antingen med tidig (ett år eller yngre) eller med sen (fyra år eller äldre) ankomstålder. Dessutom undersökte vi om det fanns några skillnader mellan gruppernas kunskap, minnen och föreställningar om bakgrunden. Individer med olika mycket kunskap, minnen och fö
A thermochromic ink is defined as an ink that exhibits colour changes depending on temperature. Thermochromic inks used in printing generally consist of an encapsulated three part system which includes a dye that changes colour, a compound that acts as a colour developer and a solvent. Due to the properties of the dye, the inks are always colourless above a certain temperature and coloured below a
Den svenska sexköpslagen stiftades för nära två decennier sedan, med det uttalade syftet att främja jämställdheten mellan kvinnor och män. Lagstiftaren avsåg även att med lagen tydligt markera Sveriges inställning till sexköp och hoppades att den skulle verka normerande både inom och utom landet. Samtidigt har surrogatmödraskap blivit ett växande fenomen. Allt fler svenskar åker utomlands för attThe Swedish Sex Purchase Act has been in force for nearly two decades. It was founded with the clear intention to promote equality between men and women. The legislator also intended to clearly mark Sweden’s attitude towards buying sex, and hoped that the law would work normative both within and outside the country. Meanwhile, surrogate arrangements have become a growing phenomenon. More and more
Wildfires pose a serious threat to communities in different parts of the world, mostly in regions with a warmer climate. Due to the increased urbanization next to the forest and climate change, they are currently an issue to be addressed also in other parts of the world. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first step in the direction of creating a holistic Vulnerability Assessment Method (V
This thesis focuses on the techniques involved in analysing the substructure of products resulting from the decay of new particles. These particles are postulated to exist in models used to describe undetectable matter whose influence can be observed within the cosmos. The models are termed 'Dark Sector models' and they attempt to describe Dark Matter; theorised to exist and account for ab
In this master thesis we consider some phenomenological aspects of two-Higgs-doublet models, both elementary and composite ones. The emphasis is on calculating and understanding first order phase transitions in such models, constrained to be in agreement with existing collider data on the Higgs sector. We also consider the contribution to the gravitational wave background of the universe that woul
Open data is broadly expected to generate innovation and economic value for both the public and private sector. Though the diffusion of open data has kept a fast pace, knowledge of visualisation and points of access of open data remains low. Moreover, literature of the private-sector application of open data is still scarce. The first objective of this thesis is to increase the knowledge about the
LDMX is a fixed target experiment designed to search for light dark matter. The experiment will search for dark matter signatures using missing momentum and energy in events with electrons scattering in the target. Part of the experimental setup in this search is a high granularity electromagnetic calorimeter to accurately measure the energies of recoil electrons. In this thesis artificial neura
Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. Research suggests that time spent in green spaces supports the beha
Evacuation models can be reliably used if they are sufficiently validated for the application in question (e.g. Fire Safety Engineering). To be useful, an evacuation model should therefore be an accurate enough representation of the real-world behaviour of evacuees. The scope of this work was to determine how accurately the model crowd:it (making use of the Optimal Steps Model) provides a represen
I detta arbete har en Minimum viable product (MVP) för en applikation utvecklats, som gör det säkrare att avveckla och ta bort endpoints för ett REST API. Tidigare arbete har visat att hanteringen av avvecklingen av endpoints i REST API:er är ett problem, där REST API:er inte följer protokoll för avveckling och borttagning. Applikationen är gjord för att tillhandahålla ett enkelt sätt att övervakaIn this thesis - a Minimum viable product (MVP) for an application aimed at making deprecation and removal of REST API endpoints safer - was developed. Previous work has shown that handling deprecations and removal of endpoints in REST APIs is a problem, with REST APIs not following deprecation-removal protocols nor giving the API consumers the information needed to properly update their software.
Understanding the sustainability concept: According to the UN World Commission on Environment,(Borowy, 2013) it is the balance between environment, economy, and equity. The development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Rauschmayer et al., 2012). Sustainability is integration of the environmental health, social equity, and
This report describes the research, conclusions, and result of my Master Degree thesis project in Industrial Design at Lund University. The thesis was completed during the spring semester of 2018. The work was carried out in collaboration with Trimble Geospatial in Danderyd, Sweden. The main purpose of this thesis was to explore the future methods of working with geospatial instruments - s
PFAS is a group of long-lasting chemicals with multiple known toxicological effects which has been found everywhere in nature. One of the possible source points of PFAS is via landfill through leachate leaving the area. It is therefore important to investigate and implementing remediation techniques to reduce the contamination risk. This thesis focuses on two components, first a literature study w
Microfluidic devices have so far not seen widespread use, even though they could potentially be cheaper, better and faster than traditional methods. A possible reason for this is the lack of a middle step between one-of-a-kind experimental devices and cheap mass produced devices. With ongoing improvements in resolution it is starting to look possible that 3D-printing will fill this role. This the
Textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world and fast fashion is the unsustainable practice that most consumers are following. Adopting the habit of purchasing secondhand goods can lead to a more sustainable life. However, some people still do not prefer to consume secondhand clothes because of various stigma and barriers attached to it. In order to eliminate the stigma an
