Title: Designing a new warehouse to improve space utilization and handling efficiency: A case study of a production warehouse Authors: Emil Niklasson, Erik Ramström Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: The focus on warehousing has grown in the industry during the 21st century to increase the compe
With rapid urbanisation, local governments are increasingly put under pressure to manage urban space in a way that benefits all citizens. Urban space often become contested and economic, political, social, and environmental interests shape how these spaces are used and managed. In the context of Cape Town, two mayor interests that determine spatial development are urban greening and affordable hou
Can strategic thinking be taught? Randomized experiments were organized to estimate the effect of information nudge on strategic decisions. The information nudge consisted of seeing a short text and a picture with an explanation related to game theory. Test subjects played two games: a p-beauty contest game and a variable-sum game. The main finding was surprising; the treatment was related to answ
This project targeted automating production steps where stud bolts are welded on a heat exchanger within allowed perpendicularity and position requirements. Until now, this has been a manual process where an operator uses steel templates to position the bolts in the right place and manual welding guns to weld the bolts. The scope of this project is to create a digital model of a robot cell to calc
In recent years, the field of mass spectrometry (MS) has grown significantly, allowing for shotgun proteomic experiments to be used increasingly in biomarker discovery experiments. However, using standard methods of MS not all peptides present in a sample may be identified. To combat this, a procedure termed alignment, or match-between-runs, is used to propagate identifications from one run to ano
Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation
In Sweden, nursing is strongly gender segregated. Additionally, there is a national nursing shortage. To target these issues simultaneously, the current study attempted to make nursing more appealing to men (and as a secondary aim, also to women) by making agency salient in a job advertisement in a sample of Swedish high school students (N = 242, 75 men). Agency salience was manipulated through re
Chile has been benefited from a commodity boom in the copper industry during the first decade of the 21st century. Does a mineral boom increase local labour opportunities? Can women get benefit from a resource boom? Can the mineral boom have indirect effects in non-mining sectors? The present paper attempts to explore and measure the impact of an exogenous increase in copper global prices between
As a working group named AGAR is currently looking into replacements and complements to Stibor, the subject of reference rates will become increasingly relevant in the coming years. This paper therefore investigates Stibor as well as future options for a Swedish reference rate, consolidating information of and opinions on reference rates in Sweden, primarily through the review of previous literatu
Standards play a significant role in shaping our environment and everyday life. In the context of the built environment, they ensure consistency of quality between different projects. The European Daylight Standard EN17037 “Daylight in buildings” is one of those standards, currently in use in the European Union, and was established to secure enough natural light indoors to achieve spaces that are
Introduction: Side-stream residue, oat okara, from the oat-milk production contains valuable nutrients but possesses a high risk of microbial spoilage. Valorisation of oat okara is therefore important to make sure that the oat beverage production stays sustainable. In this project, High-pressure processing (HPP), heat treatment and Lactobacillus fermentation have been evaluated for their microbial
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
In an increasingly digital and hyperconnected world, traditional advertising strategies are losing traction as consumers rely on social media for inspiration, information search and purchase decisions. This thesis investigates the influence that social media-based viral marketing, conceptualized as the strategic and synergic union of user-generated content, influencer marketing and brand-generated
This study explores disaster communication for people experiencing homelessness in the capital region of Iceland. Traditional methods often fail to reach vulnerable populations who require alternative approaches effectively. The objective is to understand and improve disaster communication for people experiencing homelessness and identify possible improvements. To address this, in-depth interviews

A rapid increase in renewable energy in response to climate change often generates local conflicts. To achieve a just transition to renewable energy, it is crucial to embed justice into its development processes. I examined the case of solar development in Kushiro, Japan. By combining the theories of multispecies justice and procedural justice, this thesis analyzed how local stakeholders perceive
This thesis examines Swedish bilateral imports between 1860 to 1913 to assess Sweden’s 1888 shift from free trade to protectionism on Swedish bilateral imports while also exploring the Swedish Norwegian free trade agreement known as Mellanrikslagen during this period. This is approached using Difference in Differences and an event study within a gravity framework. The gravity methodology is co
In Bhutan, post-harvest losses are a significant challenge for many small scale farmers, especially in rural areas. Since these losses impact the ability to preserve foods during the peak harvesting seasons, this has a wide range of consequences, both for the farmers themselves and for the country as a whole. It contributes to food insecurity, economic uncertainty and the nutritional deficiencies
This thesis examines living conditions in Malmö during the 19th-century through the prevalence of stress related changes in an osteological material, in combination with historical archives. With a structural violence framework, the research aims to study health, nutrition, trauma and workload in individuals from the lowest socioeconomic group, soldiers and prisoners. An osteological analysis has
