Lund Municipality, just like many other municipalities, has recurring problems with rutting at their bus stops. There is a notable problem in Lund though and the rutting occurs regardless of whether the stops are placed at high, medium or low-volume roads. In this thesis, eleven of the most vulnerable coatings in Lund Municipality were investigated. This thesis is written in collaboration with roa
I Sverige utgör bygg- och rivningsavfall en tredjedel av landets totala avfall, exklusive gruvavfall, samtidigt som bygg och fastighetssektorn står för omkring en femtedel av växthusgasutsläppen nationellt. Eftersom byggnader blir mer och mer energieffektiva blir det alltmer intressant att beakta klimatavtrycket som materialet bidrar med. För att förebygga bygg- och rivningsavfall och underlätta

Presentation of problem: With a rising sea-level, because of the climate change, the risk
Heavy-flavor hadrons, containing charm and bottom quarks, serve as a tool available for the characterization of the hot and dense strongly interacting Quark Gluon Plasma state of matter, produced in heavy-ion collisions. As a benchmark for heavy-ion collision measurements, proton-proton collisions are also studied. This thesis reports on the analysis of proton-proton collisions, reconstructed with
A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. One purpose of the setup is to test the possibility of providing environmental monitoring of pure alpha-emitters for the European Spallation Source currently und
Product Space methodology introduced in 2007 initiated a new perspective in diversification studies. It finds out stylized facts that generally developed countries mainly export core product (metal, machinery, chemicals), while developing countries mainly export periphery products (agriculture, primary goods). Besides, these two types of products have very low proximity. They do not share many com
A section of the Swedish library act stipulates that libraries are to pay specific attention to people with disability. Exhaustion syndrome is a mental disability that in recent years has started to grow rapidly in numbers. This master thesis is mainly aiming to study whether public libraries are welcoming and functional places for people with exhaustion syndrome but it also has a wider scope stud
The following research paper examines the impact of varying environmental regulation stringency on the landscape of green technological innovation in the maritime industry from 2006-2020. Additionally, the paper explores the potential indirect effect of these innovations, induced by stringency levels, on industry competitiveness. The research is grounded in a theoretical framework primarily drawin
The aim of the study was to examine parents’ experiences of personal assistance of their child's personal assistance in the home. The focus set on the relationship to the assistant. The material has been gathered through semi-structured interviews and the sample group consisted of four parents. The approach is ethno methodological. Furthermore, the concepts of backstage and frontstage from Gof
This thesis has been carried out in cooperation with Malmö Studenthus via Miljöbron whom requested suggestions on how they can improve their energy usage in their property Taxeringsintendenten 3 which is located in Rosengård, Malmö. The building was built in the 70s and is currently being used as a student residence with 665 newly renovated apartments. The thesis is topical as in recent years more
This thesis examines how asymmetric information causes issues in online markets and how it leads to mispricing between buyers and sellers. Asymmetric information and its negative effect on traditional markets have been examined by earlier studies but we strive to test the the theory on an online market. This is tested by looking at how review systems affects the market and whether this information
The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 as a way to combat greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. The Kyoto Protocol contains three flexible mechanisms that will help the parties achieve their emission targets cost effectively. One of the flexible mechanisms – the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – is further investigated and evaluated in this essay. Through the CDM the developed countries p
Several researchers have approached the subject of VUCA and the challenges of operating in a VUCA world. However, previous research seldom addresses specifically how the work can be done or how these qualities and skills can be developed. The purpose of this study is to help professionals responsible for competence development in their work to enable employees to handle a VUCA world. Therefore, th
This thesis is trying to identify and give solutions for the problems occurring in polyurethane sport surfaces in Iraq where the climate is extremely warm and dusty. One of the most important problems (called the ‘maintenance’ problem) is that the polyurethane sport surface looks very dirty because of the dust, a couple of weeks after installation of the surface the dust particles penetrates the s
Climate change is a fact, new innovations and solutions need to be applied to mitigate the effects around the world. Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are the primary cause of climate change, one of them being carbon dioxide. There are many attempts to make a turn-around regarding the use of fossil fuels and one of them is wind power. However, due to extreme loads their service life is ju
I svensk straffrätt är alla medborgare föremål för åtal även om individen lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning. Åtalade som lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning kan få rättspsykiatrisk vård som påföljd. Rättspsykiatrisk vård är en tidsobestämd påföljd som inte kan kombineras med ett fängelsestraff. Vården kan förenas med en så kallad särskild utskrivningsprövning om det finns risk för att persIn Swedish penal law all defendants can be prosecuted even if they suffer from a serious mental disorder. These defendants can be sentenced to forensic psychiatric care for an indefinite time. In today’s system there are no possibilities to combine psychiatric care with prison as a penalty. The psychiatric care can be combined with a special discharge review that enables the convicted’s sentence t
The growing use of economic sanctions as a foreign policy tool has intensi-fied legal and political tensions in the international trade system. This trend has been particularly pronounced following the expansion of the United States’ (U.S.) secondary sanctions with extraterritorial reach, and in response to major geopolitical events, including the U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between health and economic growth. Specifically, the study examines whether economic growth affects three selected health variables in a positive or negative way. Data from 38 OECD nations between 2000 to 2020 are used in a panel data regression with fixed effects to evaluate this. Three equations are formulated to analyz
Librarians like to think that libraries contribute substantially to the progress of research. However, libraries still seem to have serious problems getting integrated in their parent organization on equal terms with other parts of that organization. The degree of integration of the library is thus the main topic of this thesis and the purpose is to examine how the interaction between librarians a
