The impact of COVID-19 had unprecedented effects on the international labour market. Businesses went bankrupt, employees were fired, and organisations and employees had to adapt to swiftly working remotely from the office. Extensive studies have been conducted concerning the transition from in-person to remote work, but less so on how the transition from remote work to in-person work in a post-COV

ABSTRACT Strukturförändringar inom industrin i kombination med ny sjöfartsteknologi och utbyggda väg- och järnvägsnät innebar omvälvningar i Sveriges hamnar. Under andra hälften av nittonhundratalet skedde stora förändringar i många av kusthamnarna, såväl volymmässigt som lokaliseringsmässigt och organisatoriskt. I denna studie dras paralleller kring hur hamnrörelsen utvecklades i tre skilda regio

På neonatalavdelningen i Lund bedrivs högspecialicerad vård av barn som föds i för tidig gestalationsålder. I december 2020 skedde en brand i sjukhusets källare, detta resulterade i att brandskyddet på avdelningen förbättrades då brister upptäcktes under branden. Denna rapport är huvudmomentet i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. I rapporten analyseras och utvärderas detOn the neonatal ward in Lund a higly specialized medical care is practised on infants born in a to early gestalation age. In december 2020 there was a fire in the hospitals basement which resulted in improving the fire protection in the ward when flaws where discoverd after the fire. This report is the main part of the course fire protection risk evaluation on Lunds Techincal University. In the re

All government controlled business is controlled by the law of public procurement and its five fundamental principles. If these are not fulfilled the procurement is at risk of being subject to a review procedure, which requires both time and money. Therefore it is important to ensure the quality of these processes for contracting authorities such as Region Skåne, especially in conjunction with the

Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. Moreover, the longevity of the gas and building infrastructure make the sector prone

This paper analyzes the potential association between climate change and child marriage outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. By combining climate data with socioeconomic data from female respondents, a total of 26 Sub-Saharan countries were included in the analysis. To study the proposed relationship, temperature and precipitation were used as proxies for climate change. The relationship of interest wa

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. In Sweden, the raw material used for CLT is mainly pine and spruce, which are softwoods. However, different woo

Samspelet mellan Formulering och Inhalator För en lyckad leverans av läkemedel till lungorna krävs det ett samspel mellan patienten, formuleringen och inhalatorn. Examensarbetet “Dry powder inhalers: The Match Between Formulation and Device” som är skrivet av Rasia Ahmadi, syftar på att undersöka matchningen och samspelet mellan torrpulver formulering och inhalatorer. Intressant nog spelar inhalPulmonary drug delivery is a continuously developing technology in which medication is inhaled to the lungs and enters the bloodstream through the alveolar epithelium. Pulmonary drug delivery gives the ability to deliver drugs directly to the respiratory tract, it has a rapid onset of activity and smaller doses can be administered locally compared to the other routes of administration. The formula

Sustainable development is a widely discussed concept, and it is needed because the world is facing a massive global challenge of climate change. Sustainable development is envisioned as an all-inclusive concept of three dimensions; environment, economy, and society. However, there are trade-offs between these three dimensions. Thereby, there is a need for an enhanced understanding of the relation

The Swedish pension reform in the 1990s introduced several individualistic features and a debate has emerged on the implications of the structure and if policymakers behind the reform had unrealistic assumptions on economic behaviour. Given the potential negative implications of the current structure and the projections on how foreign-born women is at risk of receiving future low pensions, a quali

The ambition to move road transport from fossil fuels to electric energy is a large undertaking. One of the biggest challenges with making the trucks fully electric is to charge them. They are usually operated daytime, and the operations gives very little time for charging resulting in the power needed for daytime charging being in the high 100s of kW. A desired system implemented at the terminal

För att världen ska kunna uppnå de antagna miljö- och klimatmålen och miljöanpassas, krävs nya innovativa lösningar och tekniska försörjningssystem som minskar hälso- och miljöpåverkan och som kan hantera de oförutsedda händelser klimatförändringen medför. I takt med att större avfallsvolymer genereras, ökar behovet av antalet sopbilar och därmed hämtningsintervallen. Till följd av detta ökar trafMajor revolutionary and technological developments have taken place in the world, yet developments in waste management in particular have been slower than others and remained more or less unchanged through the years. The Swedish company Envac invented the stationary automated vacuum waste collection system AVAC, an underground pipe network where waste is transported through a vacuum technique to a

The thesis is proposing a method to perceive the cinematic space as a body in motion. The foundation for such an experimental method is traced within the investigation of the movement in the study of the motion picture, as well as in a phenomenological approach to dance, and in selected theories from the continental philosophy of the 20th century. In doing so, the paper aims to widen, examine and

Migrating cells under various force fields in microfluidic devices has been used as a tool to study the cell properties. Cells respond to the same force field in different ways depending on their properties, resulting in different migration velocities and trajectories which are obtained by cell tracking. The cells that are to be tracked are typically labelled with fluorescent dyes to enhance the c

In a world where migration has dramatically increased over the last 30 years, migrant consumers have become an important market actor. When migrant consumers geographically relocate they potentially experience changes in their identity, while different factors influence their acculturation to the host culture. Consumer acculturation literature within Consumer Culture Theory has studied this topic

Denna studie gjordes för att få en förståelse för vikten av 12 vattenkällor som finns i Vomb biosfärområdet. För att göra det, genomfördes en ekosystemtjänstanalys som inkluderade de fyra följande typerna av ekosystemtjänster: försörjande, stödjande, reglerande och kulturella tjänster. Ekosystemtjänstanalysen gjordes med hjälp av indikatorer för varje tjänst. Ett slutresultat baserat på status förThis study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base

The ancient Kriegsraison doctrine awarded absolute predominance to the achievement of military advantages in armed conflicts and therefore granted the opportunity to secede from all restrictive laws of war. The doctrine was therefore formally condemned as abusive and inconsistent with modern International Humanitarian Law. Especially the contemporary military necessity principle is viewed as a fac

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the evolution of the Swedish state-owned company Systembolaget’s idea and message from 1970 to 2020 through advertising campaign material from each decade. The findings are then compared to Gösta Esping-Andersen’s welfare state model in Three worlds of Welfare Capitalism, changes in alcohol policy during that time period and the social marketing theory. To

Title: Inclusion, a symbolic capital This study aims to showcase, using a case study of the Modern Museum of Art in Malmö, in what ways state-funded museums are put in conflict with politically held ideals and art agenthood in the field of the arts. With the central theories deriving from Pierre Bourdieu, this study argues that the museum is an agent who is held to standards set by the art field a
