This thesis work was carried out for Höganäs AB, the world leading metal powder manufacturer. The goal was to create a program that automatically compiled logged data from their heat treat ing ovens and present it graphically, based on input in the form of time intervals. The program should also be able to compare outcomes during different time intervals and outcomes in different assignments. Due

I have explored methods of rehearsing pieces in order to play them by heart. I chose to do this study as I wanted to explore if I become more present during my performances if I play by heart. I have read about several methods and tried the ones I found relevant to me which included practice with and without instruments. My choices of methods were visualization, rotating practice schedule and chun

Brasilia, Brazil’s capital, is a city designed under the modernist precepts of the 60s. Its urbanistic plan is defined in four urban scales. Each of these occupies a different location in the city and has its own characteristics, which will be explored in this work. Especially the scale of the city center, which will be the focus of this project. Regional and local analyses were key to understand

The purpose of this study is to give an insight into the archival management of six student nations at Lund University, as well as the general view of the archive amongst the members who are responsible for the student nation archives. The majority of the student nations are well over 300 years old, but there have been few or no studies about the student nations archives, a knowledge gap this stud

With the increasing demands for higher data rates and long-range wireless power transfer, the development of new methods is a necessary step to meet the heightened requirements. One such method is improving the infrastructure for wireless transmission through the use of large intelligent surfaces (LIS). To be one step closer to enabling the construction of such infrastructure, this study examines

The overarching purpose of this thesis was to explore one aspect of Chinese foreign policy known as ‘wolf warrior diplomacy’: a rhetorical and polemic tool wielded by Chinese diplomats to deflect and counter criticism commonly perceived as hostile. This (un)diplomatic approach has bewildered many, which precipitates questions of its use and pertinence especially during a timeline in which China is

This study investigates the influence of the crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong and the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Taiwanese identity building and the approach to cross strait relations among young Taiwanese adults. The study builds on eight in-depth semi-structured interviews with young Taiwanese adults between the age of 25-35. It utilizes constructivist theory of identity building and surv

Metabolism plays a crucial role in an animal’s life as it determines the amount of energy that can be allocated to growth, reproduction, and survival. The strategies an individual adopts to manage its energy budget have direct consequences to its fitness. How an animal allocates its energy will determine whether it can ensure its own survival while having a high reproductive success or neglect one

Food for Thought, or Thought for Food? Obesity affects 12 % of adults worldwide (GBD 2015 Obesity Collaborators, 2017). This number is only expected to increase in the future. Serious risks are associated with obesity such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and type two diabetes (Pantalone et al., 2017). There are not currently effective and safe methods to aid weight loss (Ruban et al., 2019

Hur påverkar anti-TSLP cellkommunikation och inflammation i lungan? Astma är en kronisk andningssjukdom som påverkar miljontals människor runt om i världen. Sjukdomen kännetecknas av luftvägsinflammation, överkänslighet och obstruktion, vilket leder till symtom som väsande andning, andnöd och hosta. Ny forskning visar att läkemedlet Tezepelumab, ett anti-TSLP läkemedel som blockerar TSLP, kan minBackground: Asthma, a prevalent chronic lung disease, affecting millions worldwide, is characterised by airway inflammation and increased smooth muscle mass and constriction, leading to the narrowing of the airway walls. Recent biologics have emerged as promising treatments for asthma. This study focuses on Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP, which has been shown to improve airway h

This master's thesis explores the phenomenon of intelligence disclosure within the context of digital public diplomacy. The focus is on the "Taurus Scandal," where a confidential conversation among high-ranking German military officials about potential Taurus missile deliveries to support Ukraine was intercepted and published by Russia, leading to political and diplomatic turmoil wit

This thesis investigates the role of sense of place narratives in the scaling of conflicts, using the Israel-Gaza conflict as a critical case study. Existing literature has extensively discussed scale framing and the significance of scale in conflict resolution but has not fully explored the mechanisms through which the scaling of conflicts occurs. The study aims to address this gap by proposing a

This thesis examines how the Irish Traveller organisation Pavee Point balances representing Irish Travellers, while simultaneously working closely with Irish authorities, and calling for funding from the EU and the Irish state. This is realised through critical discourse analysis of a position paper from Pavee Point, on Traveller men’s health. Power is a complex issue, especially in this case; Iri

Purpose: The relationship between inconspicuous consumption and consumers’ self-identities within luxury hospitality services has been largely overlooked, which calls for further investigation. Consequently, this study aims to explore the understanding of the relationship between the phenomena of inconspicuous luxury consumption of hospitality services and individuals’ self-identities. Methodolog

Compared to its urban counterpart, the rural often lacks access to public services. In the global north, this rural-urban divide is said to result in rural areas being perceived as neglected. The concept of geography of discontent investigates this feeling of being left behind, saying it leads to a lower level of trust in political institutions. Similarly, the OECD concludes in their research that

Fjärrvärme har använts länge i Sverige och förser idag mer än hälften av alla svenska bostäder med bostadsuppvärmning. Nätverken som används har byggts ut sedan 1950-talet och har i många fall passerat sin tekniska livslängd. Att byta alla svenska fjärrvärmeledningar är dyrt och i många fall onödigt eftersom många ledningar fortfarande fungerar bra. Eftersom ledningarna, väl nedgrävda, inte kan ob

Cancer caregiving is currently including significant challenges, especially for cancer families as they have to face high treatment costs. This study analyzes the experience of cancer caregivers in Vietnam with the focus on financial hardship and different kinds of burden. Previous studies in Vietnam show that the rising cases of cancer in Vietnam have put severe pressure on family members, who la

Sociala medier tar en allt större plats i intressenters mottagande och tolkning av information vilket ställer nya krav på kommunikationen som bedrivs av organisationer i kris. Tidigare forskning indikerar en avsaknad, inom SCCT (Situational Crisis Communication Theory), av kvalitativ förståelse kring intressentperspektivet under informationsinhämtning och interagerande med kriskommunikation i sociThe rapid expenditure of social media has led stakeholders to receive and interpret information within the platform to a large extent, an advancement positioning crisis communication into new demands. Previous research within crisis communication indicates a scarcity of qualitative understanding regarding stakeholders' interaction with crisis communication within a social media context, in rel
