The energy sector's dominant share of the anthropogenic environmental and climate impact makes the subject highly relevant for sustainable development. The paper aims to shed light on what influences energy strategy work in order to contribute to perspectives on which knowledge is prioritized. My method was of an ethnographic approach, where I was given the opportunity to do an internship at
This study investigates the effects of overfishing and sea-surface temperature changes on the distribution of Orcinus Orca in the North-east Atlantic and aims to evaluate which factors contribute the most to these shifts in orca presence. As apex predators, killer whales can have a great impact on ecosystems and food webs, and a migration to polar ecosystems could have big impacts on arctic system
Thioflavin T (ThT) is widely used as a fluorescent probe for amyloid fibrils, yet its fluorescence can also be enhanced in non-fibrillar systems. Here, the photophysical behaviour of ThT was investigated in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sucrose laurate (SL), sodium caprate (C10), and lanreotide-containing assemblies across acetate (pH 4.0), phosphate (pH 7.4), and Gly-Gly (pH 8.5) buffers using UV
Airborne particulate matter (PM) emitted from combustion sources is a major environmental and public health concern due to its complex composition and impacts on human health. While the organic fraction of PM is well investigated, the inorganic fraction, particularly the metal content of emissions from non-road gasoline engines, remains largely uncharacterized. Transition metals are of specific re
Extreme rainfall can disrupt public transport networks by flooding stops, route segments, and transfer connections. This study assesses the vulnerability and structural resilience of Gothenburg’s multimodal public transport network under a climate-adapted 100-year rainfall scenario. It also examines whether walking-scooter transfer links, which represent transfers using walking access and shared e
This thesis develops a locally deployed LLM-assisted system for automating CFD simulations from natural-language physical modelling tasks, including OpenFOAM case setup generation, solver execution, error diagnosis, and iterative correction. Unlike many recent LLM-driven CFD agents that mainly rely on frontier cloud models, this work investigates whether open-weight local LLMs with stronger data p
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease driven by persistent fibroblast activation, abnormal epithelial to mesenchymal signaling and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Better pre-clinical models are needed to reproduce these processes and to support antifibrotic drug development. This thesis tested whether an in vitro co-culture model
Evaluative practices play an increasingly important role in the management of local government. More than ever, evaluations are seen as a means for stakeholders to garner objective information about the performance of public organizations in order to demand accountability. However, this understanding of evaluative judgments as objective is being challenged by constructivist scholars. They argue th
Uppsatsen belyser den problematik som omfamnar ensamkommande barns rätt till uppehållstillstånd i Sverige genom synnerligen ömmande omständigheter, särskilt med tanke på lagändringen i december 2023 som gör det svårare för barn att få uppehållstillstånd beviljat. Detta bekräftas även av statistiken som visar att en betydande minskning av beviljade ansökningar skett året efter lagändringen. UtvecklThe essay highlights the issues surrounding unaccompanied minors' right to residence in Sweden under "particularly distressing circumstances," especially in light of the legislative change in december 2023 that makes it more difficult for children to be granted residence permits. This is confirmed by statistics showing a significant decrease in approved applications in the year follo
This study examines how archivists in Sweden perceive and relate to the development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in relation to their professional role, practice, and conditions surrounding the use of AI. While AI has been described as having significant potential for increasing efficiency, handling large volumes of digital material, and improving access to archives, it also raise
This thesis titled “Constructing Legitimacy Through War Framing” is written by Elin Borgfors Wande, Erik Lindgren and Elis Wennerstrand at the Department of Communication at Lund University. The study is situated within the field of media and communication studies and examines Donald Trump’s framing of the United States-Iran conflict in his Truth Social communication with particular focus on how m
Syftet med studien var att undersöka universitetsstudenters användning av musik för emotionsreglering i vardagen, med särskilt fokus på att använda musik för att påverka hur en situation upplevs respektive att använda musik för att rikta uppmärksamheten bort från obehagliga tankar eller känslor. Studien genomfördes som en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie via webbenkät. Det slutliga urvalet bestod av NThe aim of the study was to examine university students’ use of music for emotion regulation in everyday life, with a particular focus on using music to alter situational experiences and using music to redirect attention away from distressing thoughts or emotions. The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design, with data collected through an online survey. The final sample consisted of N
This bachelor’s thesis examines how urban densification affects children’s opportunities for play, physical activity and time spent outdoors in the emerging Norra Sorgenfri neighborhood in Malmö. The aim is to analyze how children’s need for open space is addressed in municipal planning documents and how these intentions are realized in the physical environment. Through a case study of the Spårväg
This thesis examines how young people form generational identity under conditions of platformised fragmentation. Classic theories of collective memory and generational identity assume that young people grow up within a shared cultural environment. Yet, contemporary media systems are increasingly personalised, algorithmically curated, and unevenly distributed. This study aims to understand how youn
Enligt prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979) utvärderas utfall som vinster och förluster i relation till en referenspunkt, vilket ger upphov till systematiska mönster i beslutsfattande under osäkerhet, inklusive certainty effect och reflection effect. Samtidigt kan individuella skillnader i riskbenägenhet också påverka ekonomiska val, eftersom högre finansiell riskbenägenhet är associeradAccording to prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979), outcomes are evaluated as gains and losses relative to a reference point, giving rise to systematic patterns of decision-making under uncertainty, including the certainty effect and reflection effect. Yet, individual differences in risk propensity may also influence economic choice, as higher financial risk propensity is associated with
Plant-based meat analogs (PBMAs) are defined as foods formulated from plant proteins that imitate meat structure, flavor and physical appearance. In the past decade, the market for PBMA has increased nearly threefold with global retail sales of $6,6 billion in 2024 compared to $2,2 billion in 2015, as part of a broader shift toward a more plant-based diet. However, knowledge of the microbiological
This study investigates the combustion and emission characteristics of a two-stroke, direct-injection ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engine under low-load conditions relevant to large marine engines. Although ammonia is carbon-free and can reduce direct CO2 emissions, its low reactivity, strong evaporation cooling, and nitrogen chemistry may cause incomplete combustion, NH3 slip, an
Spartina alterniflora is a highly invasive plant that has extensively colonized Chinese coastal wetlands, degrading critical habitat for migratory waterbirds. In response, the Chinese government launched the Special Action Plan for Spartina alterniflora Prevention and Control (2022–2025), aiming to remove over 90% of the invaded area nationwide. This study quantitatively assessed the effectiveness
This thesis presents a complete digital back-end implementation of a PN-dither least-mean-squares (LMS) background calibration scheme for a 12-bit, 500 MS/s pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The target converter, designed by a parallel analog project, comprises four 3-bit stages and a 4-bit final flash stage; its actual inter-stage gains depart substantially from their nominal values, re
The following thesis engages critically with the incorporation of a parallel digital platform alongside REKO Åland, a self-organized alternative food network operating primarily through Facebook, and how such addition of digital infrastructure reconfigures the network’s organizational boundaries. REKO’s grassroot coordination is constituted through direct producer–consumer exchange of local food,
