Mikrovågor på fotonnivå: Absorption och emission i kvantprickar I framtidens kvantsystem krävs teknik som kan detektera och generera extremt svaga ljussignaler. Här undersöker vi hur starkare interaktion mellan ljus (mikrovågsfotoner) och materia (elektroner) påverkar förmågan att effektivt detektera och generera sådana svaga ljussignaler. Kvantteknik är ett nytt spännande forskningsfält där detQuantum devices often operate with extremely weak microwave signals, necessitating highly efficient methods for microwave photon detection and emission. In this thesis, we investigate a device consisting of an InAs nanowire double quantum dot (DQD) coupled to a high impedance (2kΩ) SQUID array resonator. A high resonator impedance is expected to enhance the light-matter interactions between the re

This study examines the 1988 criminalization of personal drug use in Sweden by analyzing the developments in youth drug use between 1971 and 2024 and drug-related mortality between 1969 and 2017. Using a descriptive time-series approach and indexed graphs, it explores how these two indicators developed over time and whether their trajectories reflect the policy’s stated aim of reducing both use an

A case study of Ukrainian backlash towards Amnesty International’s report that raises a higher question of decentralization of communication in international NGOs The study contributes to the application and development of crisis communication response strategies during major communication scandals. It focuses on global NGOs with localized international representation. Local branches are identifi

This thesis takes Pop Mart as a representative to study how emerging Chinese brands participate in the construction of global identity through visual and emotional narratives. Under the guidance of postcolonial theory, this study analyzes how Pop Mart strikes a balance between cultural expression and global appeal by designing hybrid characters that integrate East Asian aesthetics with global visu

Access to reliable and affordable electricity remains a significant challenge in many rural regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis presents a feasibility study for the implementation of a solar-powered mini-grid in Linga Linga, a rural village in the Inhambane province of Mozambique. Conducted in collaboration with the non-governmental organization Project Vita, the study focuses on Section B

This thesis explores how operations-intensive organizations in logistics, manufacturing, and mining perceive Green Information Systems (Green IS) as tools to align profitability with envi-ronmental sustainability. Using a qualitative, interpretivist methodology, the study draws on semi-structured interviews with senior professionals within operations to examine how deci-sion-makers evaluate the st

This study focuses on the perception of Nordic brands by Chinese consumers in the context of cross-cultural brand communication, with an emphasis on the influence of the country-of-origin (COO) effect and consumer ethnocentrism on brand attitude and purchase intention. The research adopts quantitative methods, through online questionnaire surveys. Consumers’ responses from new first-tier, first-ti

Driven by heightened Swedish consumer awareness and demand for verifiable information on food safety, ethics, and sustainability, this thesis empirically investigates how specific transparency attributes, presented via Information Systems (IS), influence trust and purchase decisions, aiming to bridge persistent information asymmetry in supply chains. Employing qualitative methods, including semi-s

Businesses today face significant challenges in sustaining themselves amidst intense competitive pressures. In this context, strategic positioning and differentiation strategies are fundamental for companies seeking to set themselves apart and gain a competitive edge. This study focuses on how consumer brands in highly competitive markets, leverage these strategies to achieve a Sustainable Competi

This thesis project explores the relationship between architecture and nature, with a focus on framing views, capturing the landscape and engaging with our senses. The main building consists of a sensory sauna that allows visitors to feel connected to the surrounding nature while being sheltered from the harsh climate.

Hur mycket energi och vatten förbrukas när en student använder Generativ AI? Du är ute och äter lunch med din kompis. Efter att ha snackat ett tag säger du något som din kompis inte håller med om. Du tar fram din mobil och går in på ChatGPT och skriver in ditt påstående. Efter några sekunder har chatboten genererat ett svar som visar på att du har rätt och du visar din kompis. Du lägger ner mobileIn recent years, Generative AI has experienced a rapid increase in society and is now used all over the world. The purpose of this study is to find out how much energy and water a student in Lund, as well as all students in Lund, consumes when utilizing Generative AI. The method consists of a quantitative survey study that targeted students in Lund and was placed around Lund campus. The collected

Fruit-based beverages, such as juices and ciders, are widely consumed due to their nutritional value, but are also susceptible to microbial spoilage, contributing to food waste. This study aimed to investigate the presence and behaviour of spoilage microorganisms along the production lines of two fruit-based beverages: apple cider and a pear fruit drink. Sampling was conducted at various proce

The exponential growth of Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly increased the computational and energy demands of modern computing systems. In response, research has increasingly focused on alternative machine learning paradigms and hardware architectures that reduce model complexity and computational load. One such paradigm is the Kolmogorov-Ar

This study examines how Chinese CEOs construct culturally resonant brand personas through narrative strategies and archetypal roles across multiple digital platforms, using Lei Jun as a representative case. Grounded in a constructivist communication paradigm, the research integrates cultural branding theory, archetype theory, and narrative analysis to conceptualize branding as a process of meaning
