”’New Ick Unlocked’ – En tematisk analys av icks och fenomenets normskapande och kulturella funktioner i en marknadiserad dejtingkultur” är en B-uppsats i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, författad av Jonna Hurtig och Ester Forssberg Madshus. Syftet med uppsatsen är att tolka och förstå hur ick-fenomenet framträder på TikTok och vad det kan säga om
The interest of implementing automated production has grown over the years in the industry of manufacturing. Replacing manual tasks with automated solutions has several advantages, such as improved efficiency, increased safety and better quality standards. Alfa Laval raised the challenge to find an automated solution for a currently manual process. The master thesis addresses the problem with the
Denna B-uppsats i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, vid Institutionen för kommunikation, Lunds universitet, är författad av Amy Neilan och Kajsa Larsson. Uppsatsen behandlar hur mäns psykiska ohälsa framställs i SVT:s dokumentär Starkast vinner och bygger på en kvalitativ tematisk innehållsanalys av dokumentären. Analysen fokuserar på dokumentärens innehåll och framställningar, med särskild uppm
Hybrid detectors, consisting of semiconductor sensors bonded to a readout Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are widely used for single-photon detection in photon science and high-energy physics. The Timepix3 readout chip provides precise Time-over-Threshold (ToT) and Time-of-Arrival (ToA) measurements, making it a valuable tool for sensor characterization. This thesis presents the
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with neuroinflammation and microglial dysregulation. Galectin-3 (gal-3), a β-galactoside-binding protein expressed in microglia, has been identified as an upstream regulator of neuroinflammatory responses and is increasingly recognized as a potential therapeutic target in AD. This Master’s thesis focuses on the design
This study looked at a fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment on different types of polyester textiles in order to test the durability of the treatment in simulated wear-and-tear tests in collaboration with Thule Group. This research was being done in order to gain a deeper understanding in the strengths and limitations of the C0 Water-Repellent (C0WR) treatment on polyester textiles. The stu
The Caninae subfamily (dogs, foxes, jackals, wolves) is a prolific taxon with 36 extant species displaying a wide variety of behavioural and physical adaptations to wildly different environments. 3D brain moulds generated from CT-scans of skulls, called digital endocasts, are used to study the brain and its shape in a non-invasive or destructive manner. My work aimed to investigate links between w
Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is a gut-derived hormone of the neuropeptide Y family that regulates appetite, gastrointestinal motility, and energy homeostasis through activation of the neuropeptide Y4 receptor (Y4R). With the rising prevalence of obesity, understanding the molecular pharmacology and structure-function relationships of PP-Y4R interactions is essential for the development of novel ant
This study investigated the effects of using multiple different acoustic and linguistic features for objective Speech Reception Threshold (SRT) estimation from Electroencephalography (EEG) data, using models that estimates the neural response (EEG data) from the corresponding feature stimulus, or vice versa. The SRT is a measurement of the speech volume Signal-to-Noise Ratio where the subject unde
This thesis investigates the remanufacturing potential of the electric front cross differential (eFXD) within the context of the circular economy (CE) and the R‑framework. Environmental assessment, mechanical validation and structured component classification are combined to identify opportunities and limitations for remanufacturing. The results show that a limited number of components, the tube h
Parasites play a fundamental role in explaining variation in population dynamics in wild ecosystems while also acting as a better model-system to study similar or related human infections. Since the late 1800s, malaria parasites have played a crucial role in vector-borne disease research. Many intrinsic and environmental factors can affect the level of infection transmission and prevalence among a
This thesis seeks to discover what are the consequences of the value gap, for the emerging artists and the music industry by critically evaluating the concept of value gap and what it means for the music industry. This will also lead the way to discovering how emerging artists are “making it” in the era of music streaming, and which aspects are playing a significant role in this. In addition, the
I dagens samhälle åstadkommer konst sällan en chockartad reaktion eftersom konsten nästintill förväntas vara alstrad i syfte att provocera. Trots det kvarstår en för det konstproducerande fältet sedan länge etablerad strävan efter att skapa provokativ konst. Utvecklingen av konstens provokationsförhållande måste på så vis förstås genom en samhällelig process, som idag till stor del präglas av en m
Uppsatsen ”Ät jättemycket råa grönsaker i olika färger – en kvalitativ undersökning av hälsokommunikation på hälsobloggar” är författad av Sofia Karlefeldt vid institutionen för Kommunikation och Medier på Lunds Universitet. Uppsatsen undersöker hur bloggar kan förstås som en ny typ av hälsokommunikation genom en fallstudie av bloggen Food Pharmacy. På bloggen skriver Food Pharmacy information kri
Uppsatsen H&M:s sociala ansvarstagande är skriven av Elin Olausson, Maja Brogårdh och Johanna Frank vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier på Lunds Universitet. I uppsatsen har det gjorts en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med syfte att studera hur H&M använder sig av CSR för att bemöta miljö- och klimat-relaterad kritik mot företaget och klädindustrin. Kritiken som hemsidan ställs emot
Problem definition Nowadays society is very concerned with sustainability. Companies try their best to meet sustainability customers’ expectations and regulations. The adoption of Lean and Six Sigma could bring sustainability improvements, but it is not clear how these three areas are combined and how they are currently addressed by companies. Purpose Explore the relationship between Lean, Six Sig
Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser (FEL) light is becoming an increasingly sought after tool for almost all scientific research aspects. MAX IV Laboratory introduced the first 4th generation light source that provides the brightest synchrotron light in the world. Since all of the experiments at MAX IV rely only on Insertion Device (ID) radiation, the need for improving ID technology has subsequen
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a medical technique for measuring brain activity through several channels connected to the scalp. Interpreting EEG data is a difficult problem because of the large amount of noise contained in the data. Using spectral methods on EEG data can improve the ability to interpret the data, especially using a time-frequency method called the scaled reassigned spectrogram w
The EU is home to uncountable media outlets whose narratives are vastly impacted by their national identity. Yet, in recent years, Europe witnessed a growth in transnational media. While the European public sphere is vastly researched, little attention has been paid to these newly established newsrooms. This master’s thesis seeks to investigate the framing by the pan-European press. Aside from det
