Over the past 200 years, the structure of forests in Sweden has changed drastically, with forestry becoming the dominant land use. This has led to the loss of primary forests, which has major impacts on different ecosystem services, including carbon storage. Primary forests are unique ecosystems that are untouched by humans and have been sequestering carbon for centuries.The effects of this shift

This thesis aims to further investigate the viability of using reinforcement learning, specifically Q-learning, to schedule shared resources on the Ericsson Many-Core Architecture (EMCA). This was first explored by Patrik Trulsson in his master thesis Dynamic Scheduling of Shared Resources using Reinforcement Learning (2021). The shared resources complete jobs assigned to them, and the jobs have d

The project started out with professor Fredrik Nilsson reaching out to the school on the behalf of a company called Fixaspine. They were developing a product that aims to improve the neck posture and were interested in collaborating on improving the current iteration of their prototype. I reached out and a collaboration was made An initial meeting was conducted where it was concluded that us

There are many unemployed in Sweden that do not qualify for unemployment insurance and instead are referred to social assistance. In 2011 the Swedish Department of Finance issued a report suggesting changes to the current system. The proposed changes would make it easier for the unemployed to qualify for unemployment insurance. This study aims to investigate why the interaction between social assi

Architecture greatly influences people‘s lives regarding health, stability, and education and is crucial for economic and social development. This architectural thesis project aims to improve the living conditions of a marginalized community in a rural Tanzanian village, Kisarawe, through a design proposal. It analyzes the potential of humanitarian architecture from the international, European, an

Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients. Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi

Children of parents with mental illness (COPMI) are exposed and at risk for developing mental illness, therefor it’s essential that they receive necessary support. In Sweden professionals working in mental health care are obligated by law to acknowledge and provide support to their patients’ children. Despite this, research shows that the work is neither obvious nor as extended as it should be. Th

Cancer är idag det näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen, där 30% av alla cancerfall bland kvinnor är bröstcancer. En vanlig behandling är bröstbevarande operation, där en bit av bröstet kirurgiskt tas bort. Operationer är både dyrt och har en betydande inverkan på kroppen och för vissa kvinnor krävs en omoperation efter den första operationen. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjliCancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and 30% of all cancer cases among women are breast cancer. A popular treatment is breast-conserving surgery, where only a part of the breast is surgically removed. Surgery is expensive and has a significant impact on the body, and on some women, a reoperation is needed. The aim of this thesis was to see if there is a possibility to predict whet

In this bachelor project, the main objective is to investigate how a two-level quantum system can be controlled using weak continuous measurements and feedback control. The Monte-Carlo method was used to simulate the system dynamics under measurement and feedback to investigate how the system state can be controlled. This thesis concludes on how the feedback function impacts the purity of the stat

Den föredragna metoden för att syntetisera terapeutiska peptider är idag genom fastfas peptidsyntes (SPPS). SPPS är en process som genererar mycket avfall, där huvudkomponenten i avfallet är de toxiska lösningsmedlen N,N-dimetylformamid (DMF), N-metylpyrrolidon (NMP) och diklormetan (DCM).3 Därför är det önskvärt att söka efter nya och grönare lösningsmedel att använda för SPPS, vilket är vad som The preferred method for synthesising therapeutic peptides today is by Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS). SPPS is a wasteful process, where the main component of the waste is hazardous solvents, i.e., N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dichloromethane (DCM). 3 It is therefore desirable to search for new and greener solvents to use for SPPS, which is what has been studied

Klimatförändringar orsakade av människan medför en betydande konsekvens. I Sverige har handlingsplaner och lagkrav införts för att uppnå ett hållbart samhälle. En av branscherna med stor klimatpåverkan i form av växthusgasutsläpp är bygg- och fastighetssektorn. En konkret åtgärd som införts för att främja en hållbar utveckling inom samhällsbyggnadssektorn är lagkravet om klimatdeklaration av byggnClimate change caused by humans entails significant consequences. In Sweden plans of actions and new laws has been introduced to achieve a sustainable society. One of the industries with a major climate impact in the form of greenhouse gas emissions is the construction sector. A tangible action made to promote sustainable development within the construction sector is the legal requirement for a cl

Forskning vid Lunds Universitet har lett till nanotrådar som odlas i tunna aluminium-membran, vilket gör trådarna betydligt mer motståndskraftiga mot fukt, värme och annat som kan skada dem. Detta projekt utnyttjar röntgenstrålars interaktioner med materia för att studera hur trådarna växer med målet att informera framtida forskning. Alltsedan Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen upptäckte röntgenstrålar år 189The past decade has seen a great interest in the development of metal halide perovskite materials for use in photo-optical devices, due to the excellent photo-optical properties of these materials. The primary limitation to industrial adoption, and the subject of much research, is the susceptibility of these materials to degradation from exposure to various factors such as air, heat and moisture.

Ledningsrätt är den rättighet med vilken allmänna ledningar upplåts på andras fastigheter. När det finns en avvikelse mellan ledningens och ledningsrättens läge kan det innebära både att ledningen saknar upplåtelse och att ledningsrätten inte längre är juridiskt gällande. En genomlysning av denna problematik görs för att optimera ledningsrättsupplåtelser. Att ledningsrätter förlorar sin giltighet When there’s a discrepancy in location between a conduit and its corresponding utility easement, it’s a problem for both the conduit which lacks a right that secures it and for the utility easement itself because it might have lost its juridical validity. Every utility easement that lapses, and has to be de-registered, is a waste of resources. The delays have a negative impact on the development o
