The tea sector is one of Kenya's most important industries, with a big impact on the country's economy and socio-economic development. At the same time, tea manufacturing is highly energy-intensive and strongly affected by electricity tariffs and high production costs. Due to the favorable weather conditions and growing renewable energy ambitions in Kenya, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems p
α-CGRP 8-37 is a peptide fragment of calcitonin gene-related peptide and is commonly used as a CGRP antagonist in pharmacological research. CGRP signaling has been discussed in relation to neuroimmune mechanisms in psoriasis, but a practical development of α-CGRP 8-37 requires analytical methods and formulation strategies that can handle peptide instability, adsorption, and matrix effects. The aim
This thesis investigates the design and evaluation of Large Language Model (LLM) agent assistants for industrial maintenance, developed in cooperation with SSAB. The study focuses on identifying what combinations of tools and architectures best serve the needs of maintenance technicians, with an emphasis on practical usability and factual correctness. Multiple agents were developed and compared,
Machine learning algorithms are experiencing unprecedented attention, but their inherent computational complexity leads to high energy consumption. However, a paradigm shift in computing methods has the potential to address the issue. This shift could be a move towards analog in-memory computing, a method which uses Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws, and carries out the processing directly where data res
This research examines how consideration of place attachment and community values can inform the development and implementation of fair and equitable climate change adaptation (CCA) practices in the Australian local government context. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with expert interviewees and reflective thematic analysis to answer three research ques
Switzerland's current food system is unsustainable and responsible for 25% of the country's environmental footprint. Half of the greenhouse gas emissions from the Swiss food system are caused by meat and dairy consumption. Reducing Switzerland's GHG emissions from the food system requires an orchestrated approach, targeting amended consumption and production patterns. A primary change
Uppsatsen tar fram olika modeller och teorier om nätverk och vad som kan påverka nätverk. De begrepp som tas upp som påverkar nätverk är bland annat digitaliseringen i form av digitala verktyg, sociala plattformar och kommunikation. Sedan intervjuas 5 entreprenörer som driver konsultföretag i ekonomibranschen där frågor ställs kring deras nätverk. Slutligen visade det sig att digitaliseringen har
Syftet med studien går ut på att undersöka och analysera vilka karaktäristiska egenskaper och färdigheter som en projektledare bör besitta eller utveckla för att lyckas i sin roll. Vidare kommer studien att undersöka projektledarens ledarskapsstil för att få en uppfattning om hur det påverkar ett projekts framgång. Genom att identifiera dessa egenskaper och färdigheter kan arbetet bidra till att ö
Skadelindringshierarkin är en vanligt föreslagen princip för att minska påverkan på naturkapital inom planprocesser. Skadelindringshierarkin innebär att påverkan på naturliga miljöer i första hand ska undvikas, annars minimeras – och när detta inte är möjligt återställas inom området eller kompenseras enligt en ekvivalens- och närhetsprincip. Beräkningarna kan utföras i en modell som exempelvis GrA commonly proposed principle for reducing impact on natural capital within the planning process is the mitigation hierarchy. The mitigation hierarchy means that impacts should primarily be avoided, otherwise minimized, and when this is not possible - restored or compensated according to an equivalency- and proximity principle. The outcome can be calculated in a model such as the Green Space Facto
De prekära arbetsförhållandena som upplevs av frilansmusiker i Sverige påverkar många olika aspekter av deras liv. För att skydda dessa arbetstagare från exploatering och osäkerhet samt öka jämställdheten på arbetsmarknaden finns arbetsrättsliga regler formulerade i svensk lagstiftning och i det branschspecifika kollektivavtalet. I denna kvalitativa intervjustudie undersöks frilansmusikers uppleve
In the context of China’s concerning decline in fertility rates and the widespread normalization of the ‘996’ overtime culture, the connection between overtime work and fertility assumes considerable importance. This research is firmly grounded in the theoretical framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), which investigates the complex relationship between overtime work and fertili
Denna studie undersöker hur taktiska ledare inom tillverkningsindustrin proaktivt använder ITIL för att hantera och förbättra IT-tjänster. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sex taktiska ledare från tre olika företag identifierades tillämpning av specifika ITIL-processer orienterade mot en proaktiv hållning, exempelvis incident management, problem management och conti- nual (service) improvement, sa
Juvenile crime has become a significant social problem. This issue is highlighted in the media and political debates, so we have chosen to study Juvenile crime. In our study, we will investigate the risk and protective factors for young people and how these have influenced their criminal life choices. We will apply a qualitative research method using semi-structured interviews. Our empirical mater
This bachelor thesis uses the case of a double land allocation agreement on the Swedish island of Gotland and asks to what degree neoliberal planning is present when using the policy instrument. The main theoretical framework used was that of David Harvey(2005), on the manifestation of neoliberal policies. His framework puts forth four main ways in which neoliberal policies are manifested. In orde
This master’s thesis explores the objectives of packaging regulations and translates them into guidelines for a company’s packaging decision-making process. The thesis was done in collaboration with Axis Communications AB, where the current packaging practices were analyzed. This was followed by analyzing the requirements of packaging regulations in the EU (such as PPWD and upcoming PPWR) and othe
Denna uppsats analyserar hur nyliberal logik reflekteras och reproduceras av både Lunds äldre och Lunds kommunala träffpunkter för seniorer, samt vilka konsekvenser detta kan innebära. Resultatet demonstrerar tecken på konstruktionen av en “nyliberal senior”, som prioriterar fysiskt och mentalt välmående, produktivitet, individuellt ansvar, och socialisering; med uppfattningen att man således både
Classical music institutions are confronting declining attendance among younger and diverse audiences, fearing an aging visitor demographic. The LUDICH Project at Lund University, in collaboration with several industry partners, academic institutions, the Malmö Symphony Orchestra and their home concert hall of Malmö Live aims to address this challenge by investigating innovative digital solutions
Denna masteruppsats undersökte potentialen i att använda biobaserade akrylatmonomerer för att producera mer hållbara vattenbaserade golvlacker jämfört med de petroleumbaserade monomerer som nuvarande används. Dispersioner skapades genom emulsionspolymerisation och formulerades med koalecenter och vätningsmedel för att bilda lacker vid rumstemperatur. Den främsta utmaningen med biobaserade monoThis master thesis investigates the potential of using biobased acrylic monomers to produce more sustainable waterborne floor coatings compared to the petroleum-based monomers currently in use. Dispersions were created through emulsion polymerization and formulated with coalescent and a wetting agent to form films at room temperature. The primary challenge with biobased monomers is their highe
Studying dissolution of oral drug substances is crucial throughout the drug development process. Current methods are time consuming and require large quantities of both the drug and dissolution media. Thus, exploring new methods is highly desirable. UV imaging, an analytical technique based on real-time absorbance measurements, can be used in early drug discovery to study drug dissolution and has
