This thesis investigates the pattern formation of supersolid states in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of highly magnetic Dysprosium-162 confined in a flattened trap geometry. This is done by solving the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation (eGPE), a framework that was developed to examine BECs. The eGPE incorporates contact interaction, the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI), and quantum fluc

This thesis explores how Hannah Arendt’s idea of the "banality of evil" can clarify human rights abuses within bureaucratic systems, concentrating on the Nazi Holocaust and the internment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, China. By examining historical documents, official records, and accounts from survivors, the research investigates how administrative frameworks normalize and facilitate s

The topic of this study is the phosphorylation dependent interaction between aquaporin 2 (AQP2) and the FERM domain of ezrin. AQP2 is an important water channel for finetuning the water content of the urine based on the needs of the body. The main way of regulating how much water is reabsorbed is by regulating the amount of AQP2 present in the apical membrane. This regulation is controlled throug

Sweden's decision to reopen arms exports to Turkiye in the context of the NATO process has provoked strong reactions and raised a familiar dilemma: how does a state balance its security policy interests against its ethical principles? This paper aims to investigate how different actors such as politicians, researchers, security policy experts and civil society representatives argue for and aga

Agenda 2030 är en historisk överenskommelse mellan FN:s medlemsstater som utgår från 17 globala mål för en hållbar utveckling. Forskning har pekat ut lokala myndigheter som en viktig aktör i genomförandet av agendan, i och med dess närhet till invånarna. Detta uppdrag är dessvärre långt ifrån enkelt och verkligheten är ofta att hållbarhetsambitioner åsidosätts för att få den dagliga verksamheten iThis study aimed to investigate how a Swedish standard, developed by the Swedish Institute for Standards, can support local governments in their efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. Local authorities have been identified as key actors in the transition towards sustainable development, making the standard a potentially valuable tool. To achieve this aim, interviews were conducted with local govern

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur upplevd distributiv rättvisa samt intern och extern motivation korrelerar med och förklarar variansen i anställdas organisatoriska medborgarskapsbeteende riktat mot organisationen (OCBO). Studien utgick således från två huvudsakliga frågeställningar: (1) Hur starka är sambanden mellan OCBO, distributiv rättvisa och extern/intern motivation hos anställda?This study aimed to examine how perceived distributive justice and internal/external motivation correlate with and explain the variance in employees organizational citizenship behavior directed towards the organization (OCBO). Hence, two main questions were addressed: (1) To what extent are OCBO, distributive justice and external/internal motivation correlated among employees? (2) How much of the

Den här studien ämnar att undersöka hur Lundastudenters användande av dejtingappar påverkar deras syn på romans och dejting. I dagens studentliv reflekterar dessa appar de diskurser som präglar unga människors liv. Materialet som samlats in kommer från sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med studenter i tidiga till mittersta tjugoårsåldern och har analyserats med hjälp av Erving Goffmans begreppsram This study investigates how students at Lund University perceive romance and dating in relation to their use of dating apps. In contemporary student life, these platforms reflect discourses that shape the experiences of young people. The study is based on seven semi-structured interviews with students in their early to mid-twenties and is analysed through Erving Goffman's theoretical framework

This thesis investigates the long-run performance of IPOs in the Nordic region, a topic that remains highly relevant in light of periods of intense IPO activity, such as the Nordic boom in 2021 (S&P Global, 2021). Examining IPOs across the Nordic markets from 2004 to 2024, the study employs Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CAR), Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR), and cross-sectional regression
