Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. In this thesis, a simple machine learning model is created to convert simulated Sentinel-2 reflectance measurements to surface albedo. The Fore

En ny utställningsbyggnad till Kulturen i Lund presenteras med ritningar och bilder. Bakgrunden till gestaltningen kommer ifrån en studie av staden Lund, dess arkitekturtradition och hur dessa kan sammankopplas med begrepp som tid och materialitet. Projektet börjar med en kort redogörelse för Lunds byggnads- och arkitekturhistoria. Det avslutas med allmänna reflektioner om staden karaktär. DärefteA new exhibition hall for Kulturen in Lund is presented with drawings and pictures. The background to the design comes from a study of the city of Lund, its architectural tradition, and how these can connect with concepts such as time and materiality. The project begins with a brief chronology of Lund’s building and architectural history. It concludes with general reflections on the city’s charact

Bakgrund Varje år drabbas cirka 6000 människor av hjärtstopp i Sverige där cirka 10% överlever.

This thesis explores how Salesian Institutes are related to religious peace-building in post-colonial and post-conflict Cambodia. It examines if and how the Catholic-Salesian multi-religious educational mission system is able to peacefully co-exist in a Buddhist Cambodian society, and collaborate with other minority religions present – Protestant, Muslim, and non-religious in promoting education f

This bachelor project is about textile crafts traditionally performed in Sweden and the textile crafters who perform the crafts in their homes. The main questions asked and investigated in this project are: HOW CAN THE STATUS OF TEXTILE CRAFTS BE UPLIFTED? & HOW CAN THE ONGOING TEXTILE CRAFTS PROJECTS BE ASSIGNED A CENTRAL PLACE IN THE HOME? The project was carried out using a resea

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the different masculinities represented in the Swedish high medieval historical chronicle “Erikskrönikan” and whether these masculinities are used as a political tool in the text. To the task of resolving these queeries a theoretic framework based on Andres Brink Pintos reading of Judth Butler is employed. The central idea is the concept of performance,

There were 3 aims in this report and these were what problems the users experience with maintenance programs were going to be enlightened, that the problems were going to be solved and what maintenance programs are used for today and what they will be used for in the future were to be i

This project proposes the design of an analog camera that fosters a profound reconnection with the art of traditional photography. In an era of digital convenience, the camera encourages users to embrace the intricacies of the craft. By blending thoughtful form, materials, and intuitive interaction, the design promotes a mindful and deliberate approach to understanding the essence of p

In mobile communications the demand for increased capacity and speeds is a constant. 5G NR is the latest generation which is now seeing widespread adoption. Crucial technologies like Massive MIMO and beamforming are enabled by the use of large antenna arrays. While these arrays allow a 5G network to handle larger amounts of data at higher speeds they do have drawbacks. Specifically, the power requ

Med bakgrund i den fossilfria omställningen var målet med detta arbete att undersöka hur stort behovet av kol till svensk plastanvändning 2050 är samt att jämföra kolbehovet med mängden tillgängligt fossilfritt kol. För att svara på detta utformades tre scenarier på plastanvändningen. Det första (A) baserat på historisk plastanvändning, det andra (B) baserat på prognoser och det tredje (C) baseratWith a background in the fossil-free transition, the goal of this work was to investigate the extent of the need for carbon in Swedish plastic usage year 2050 and to compare this carbon need with the available amount of fossil-free carbon in Sweden. To answer this, three scenarios were designed for plastic usage. The first scenario (A) based on historical plastic usage, the second (B) based on for

I södra utkanten av Lomma, längs den långgrunda bukten sträcker sig Öresundsparken. En kort promenad från Alnarp mellan böljande fält. På andra sidan svänger Malmövägen över landskapet. Bakom fyra upprätta flaggstänger ligger ett ljusblått vägcafé. Skylten finns kvar men fönstren är igenspikade. Verksamheten satt på paus. Mellan plattsättningen börjar smala björkar tränga upp. Ljudet av svischandeOn the southern side of Lomma, along the dunes in the shallow bay, stretches Öresundsparken. A short walk from Alnarp between fields waving in the wind. On the other side, Malmövägen makes its way along the coast. Behind four upright flagpoles lies a bright blue road cafe. The sign is still there but the windows are all closed off. Between the tiles, slim birches are beginning to grow. The sound o

Adoption scholars have dismantled the story of adoption as a humanitarian effort to save destitute children and framed adoption as a transnational issue underpinned by neo-colonial and patriarchal structures governing the relations between the West and ‘the rest’. This thesis builds on those insights and thus contributes to a growing body of literature within critical adoption studies. South Kore

Dagens produktion och användning av plaster är omfattande. En mycket stor del av de plaster som produceras används som förpackningsmaterial, vilket används enbart en gång innan det slängs och hamnar på deponier eller i naturen. Väl i naturen kan plasterna fastna omkring eller i sin helhet ätas av djur, som sedan går ett mörkt öde till mötes. De plaster som hamnar i vattendrag, sjöar och hav utsättPlastics are widely used and get degraded to micro- and nanoplastics once entering the environment. Nanoparticles have different properties compared to the bulk form of the material. Protein coronas are formed in biological systems and cause structural changes to the bound proteins. The effects following the nanoparticles’ interactions with the biological systems are worth studying to find possibl
