The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence-based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas. Based on a pan-European database for occurrence and abundance of breeding birds

Pancreatic islets of Langerhans are central to the pathogenesis of all major forms of diabetes. The ability to study human islets ex vivo has advanced our understanding of diabetes and aided in the development of novel therapeutics. However, for decades, very few laboratories had access to this critical resource and experiments on human islets were typically underpowered. More recently, multiple c

For more than a decade, stem cells have been on the horizon as a future treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) and with this vision, it is anticipated that this novel treatment approach may be a paradigm shift in treating PD. The field has progressed enormously during the past few years and several clinical phase I/IIa trials using human embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells as so

Söderåsens nationalpark är ett populärt område för friluftsliv på grund av den vidsträckta bokskogen. Bokskogen har också ett stort vetenskapligt intresse på grund av dess dynamiska historia under de senaste seklerna. Enligt Rundgren et al. (2025) var boken väletablerad fram till mitten av 1700-talet då dess utbredning minskade för att sedan börja öka igen under mitten av 1800-talet. Detta baseradSöderåsen National Park is a popular recreational area due to its extensive beech forest. The beech forest is also of great scientific interest because of its dynamic history in recent centuries. According to Rundgren et al. (2025), the beech was well established until the mid-18th century when its abundance decreased markedly, followed by an expansion from the mid-19th century. It is based on pal

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur industriella kulturmiljöer i rurala landskap kan transformeras till nya offentliga miljöer utan att förlora sin rumsliga identitet, materiella närvaro eller historiska tyngd. Projektet tar sin utgångspunkt i Borgeby Tegelbruk vid Lödde å, där det öppna jordbrukslandskapet möter en storskalig industristruktur präglad av repetitiva trästommar, långa rumsliga sekvenThis thesis investigates how industrial heritage in rural landscapes can be transformed into new public environments without losing their spatial identity, material presence, or historical depth. Situated along the Lödde River in the open agricultural landscape of southern Sweden, the project takes Borgeby Tegelbruk as its point of departure, a former brickworks whose large-scale timber structures

This study aimed to examine the role of education in shaping social work students’ knowledge of and perspectives on homelessness, as well as how they perceive and relate to the subject as a social phenomenon. This study is based on a qualitative approach with six students in their final semester of the social work program at Lund University. The theoretical framework used is social constructivism

This study aimed to examine the situation of children awaiting placement at The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care's (SiS) youth homes under the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (LVU) from the perspectives of social workers, as well as how these social workers manage the waiting period. Our study used a qualitative interview method, in which we interviewed six social wo

Older adults have throughout history played an important role in the shaping of society. Through work and life experience, they have helped pass along valuable knowledge and hence paved the way for future generations’ possibilities of building and creating a way of living and functioning in an ever-changing world. Yet, the aging generations can sometimes be forgotten or marginalised in modern soci

The purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding of the social worker’s professional role and practice in relation to public debate and politics, with a focus on three distinct themes: The influence of public debate on the professional role and its consequences, Political unawareness and its consequences for the professional role, and the influence of public debate on service users. In ord

During recent years the interest in visits to the Swedish alpine regions have increased, and many regions have experienced a trend towards a higher number of sport events. An increasing interest in nature tourism can bring positive effects on wellbeing and health as well as increasing knowledge and consideration for the environment. Though, all effects are not positive since nature-based activitie

Uppsatsen undersöker hur hållbarhet och ansvar konstrueras och förändras i Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) kommunikation kring Conscious-kampanjerna under åren 2011-2021. Studien genomförs som en kvalitativ och tolkande fallstudie med en multimodal semiotisk analys av tio videor. Videorna kompletteras med officiella press- och reklamtexter från H&M. Analysen tar sin huvudsakliga teoretiska utgå

The Spoon, the Knife, the Fork and the Chaos? German Grammatical Gender as a Learning Challenge in Swedish Upper Secondary Schools This thesis examines German gender of German nouns as a learning and teaching challenge in Swedish upper secondary education. The study investigates how German teachers view the role of grammar, approach grammatical gender in the classroom and how they justify their

The study of the spatial domain within the field of semantic typology has seen more and more research activity since its inception. Still, more research is needed in order to uncover more of the linguistic variation of spatial language. As such, the present study examined, compared, and typologically classified three spatial subfields – basic locative constructions (BLC), frames of reference (FoR)

A deceptive cadence suggests resolution but withholds it, opening instead to uncertainty, fragility, and the unexpected. This philosophical-existential inquiry takes that musical figure as a metaphor for life itself—disrupted by illness, sustained by another’s gift, and reshaped by the presence of death. Music here becomes a vital companion: pianist Brad Mehldau’s “Remembering before all this” evo

BackgroundThe benefits of computational forecasting in the later phase of the COVID-19 pandemic when vaccines and clinical pharmaceutical interventions were available have seldom been assessed. We aimed to evaluate computational forecasting research applied to Swedish populations in the vaccination phase of the pandemic.MethodsA systematic search was performed on March 8, 2024 in the electronic da
