There is a dramatic apocalyptic prophecy in Isaiah 34 that contains many strange animals and creatures, and the question is: why are they lurking there in fire, smoke and darkness? This thesis aims at examining the meaning of these beings using traditio-historical criticism and key word and image analysis, in an attempt to understand Isaiah's reason for using them in the biblical context. The

Sedan den första generationen av mobila nätverk lanserades i början av 80-talet har en ny generation utvecklats ungefär vart tionde år. Med ett alltmer digitaliserat samhälle har användningen av de mobila nätverken ökat drastiskt. Ökningen ställer nya krav på nätverkens kapacitet där den senaste generationen, 5G NR, är utvecklad för att tillgodose dagens och kommande års behov. Dessa behov innefatAs the demand for higher data rates and lower latencies increase, together with the use of higher frequency bands, MIMO and beamforming have become an essential part of the 5G NR technology. Calculating the beamforming weights is a costly process, and reducing the frequency resolution of the weight calculations would save a significant amount of computational power. Which resolution is suitable to

My project sets off in the exploration of public spaces and new programmes emerging after the COVID-19 pandemic. The way we look at functions such as offices and retail has changed a lot during the past year. How will an office function compared to working from home? How will stores and retail function compared to e-commerce? I believe that the way we use these programmes will change, and togeth

Boende baserat på delningsekonomi har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag både internationellt och på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. Tidiga former av delningsekonomi på bostadsmarknaden är Couchsurfing och AirBnB som skapat möjligheter för privatpersoner att hyra ut sina boenden när de står tomma. Idag är två mer permanenta exempel co-living och co-housing där hyresgäster utan tidigare relation till vSharing economy in housing is becoming more and more common both internationally and on the Swedish housing market. Examples of sharing economy in housing include co-living and co-housing, where tenants with no previous relationship to each other have their private rooms or apartments but share large common areas. These concepts have likely emerged due to high rental prices in city centres, social

Underexplored Gram (-) bacteria as a new source of natural products. Microorganisms produce an impressive array of structurally diverse and complex natural products with industrially-important properties. Microbial natural products therefore continue to be an important source of clinical drug candidates. While natural products from a few soil Gram (+) bacteria, together with their biosynthetic pa

Den ökade erosionen till följd av havsnivåhöjningen, orsakad av klimatförändringarna, som läggs på den redan förekommande erosionen kommer få stora konsekvenser. Mark kommer att försvinna där det i dagsläget finns bostäder, vägar, järnvägar, hem för djur- och växtliv, osv. Dessutom leder erosionen till att mark som idag finns tillgänglig för nybyggen i kustnära områden inte längre kommer att existThe globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. One location with historical erosion problems is Ystad municipality in southern Sweden, where the erosive problems are probable to

Syftet med den här studien är att utreda hur CoClass fungerar som ett nytt klassifikationssystem och informationshanteringen i praktiken. Studien ska också undersöka varför det behövs ett nytt klassifikationssystem och även jämföras med det nuvarande BSAB-systemet. Det ska också belysa den hållbara satsningen som CoClass ska generera. Nämligen, hur CoClass är mer sammanhängande och konsekvent än d

Entrepreneurship education is becoming ever more popular, especially at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM), due to entrepreneurship being important to job generation and a source for economic growth and development. Yet, the topic of how learnings from the program are applied in regards to subsequent careers is unexplored as current research mostly highlights what entrepren

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concepts of brand integrity, brand reputation, brand crisis management and communication strategies used by brands to combat the cancel culture setting. This exploratory study may also aid marketing practitioners in developing appropriate crisis management strategies in response to such a crisis. Research Question: what is the relationship b

In recent years, the popularity of discontinuous Galerkin methods has increased. As shown in [19], a result exists that states that the Discontinuous Galerkin space approximations (DG) are equivalent to the Lobatto IIIC Runge-Kutta method. This thesis therefore outlines the adaptation of Hairer’s implementation of the Radau IIA Runge-Kutta method to the Lobatto IIIC method, extended with an adapta

Fysiologiska effekter av att växa upp under en värmebölja Med klimatförändringarna kommer en ökning av antalet värmeböljor. Det påverkar djur på olika sätt. Hos fåglar kan förändringen i temperatur under utvecklingen påverka tillväxt, ämnesomsättning och temperaturtolerans hos ungarna. Vi vet inte så mycket om hur dessa effekter stannar kvar till vuxen ålder. Detta är viktigt för att förstå effekWith a changing climate comes warmer periods all around the year and an increase in the frequency of heatwaves. This affects animals in different ways. In birds, changes in environmental temperature during the developmental period before or after hatching, which is expected during heatwaves, can directly affect growth, metabolism and temperature tolerance of the offspring. We know little about how

Cultural sectors increasingly constitute a larger part of any country’s economy and as such, should be included into sustainability research and analysis. A rapidly growing industry within the cultural sector, this paper examines Europe’s electronic dance music sector as a case study. 13 actors from the sector were interviewed to determine the extent of sustainability’s integration into the norms

This thesis looks into the possible potentials and challenges of the ethnographic comic book, as a way to reflexively present anthropological knowledge and fieldwork experiences. This is explored through the analysis of two anthropological graphic novel projects, Lissa: A Story about Medical Promise, Friendship and Revolution (2017) and Gringo Love: Stories about Sex Tourism in Brazil (2020). Both

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of unexpected collaborations between brands. Methodology: This paper follows a qualitative research approach. The research is centered around a multi-case study based on secondary data. In the analysis and discussion, the literature review is applied to the case studies to reveal patterns that lead to managerial- and theoretical impl

Amphibians are globally among the most endangered taxonomic groups of vertebrates. This is partly due to the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes the disease chytridiomycosis, that have led to eradication of more than 90 species of amphibians worldwide. The spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus) is one of the Swedish red listed species (VU) that are at risk of being affecte

Within strategic communication crisis communication is a relevant part of public relations in which practitioners developed guidelines for effective crisis communication (Seeger et al., 1998). Furthermore crisis communication is also relevant in political frames and political leaders need to know how to communicate during a crisis situation such as the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic is a

Can strategic thinking be taught? Randomized experiments were organized to estimate the effect of information nudge on strategic decisions. The information nudge consisted of seeing a short text and a picture with an explanation related to game theory. Test subjects played two games: a p-beauty contest game and a variable-sum game. The main finding was surprising; the treatment was related to answ
