Ådalen - Craft in Continuation

The site of the project is located in Ådalen, a stretch along Ångermanälven in northern Sweden. A region that during the 19th century grew and flourished through the wood industry only to stagnate and be phased out in the middle of the 20th century. After that the region has been fraught with closures and population decline. In relation to the industries that have existed in the region, I have c

Wetlands and biochar: Possible management methods to reduce DOC in river water

Åtgärder för minskning av kolpartiklar i åar Organiskt material (humuspartiklar) från förmultnade växtdelar har ökat i svenska åar. När organiskt material transporteras ut till havet och bryts ned av bakterier kan det bildas döda havsbottnar på grund av syrebrist på bottnen. Denna studie har sett att våtmarker möjligtvis kan minska mängden organiskt material i åar och därmed undvika att döda boAn increase of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from rivers into coastal waters has been observed in previous studies, leading to an increase in hypoxic zonesin coastal areas when the bioavailable fraction of the DOC is degraded causing harm to ecosystems and negatively affecting ecosystem services vital for society. The first part of this study investigates if constructed wetlands can be used a

MAX IV is a synchrotron facility currently running 14 beamlines hosting about 1000 users per year. It is one of the best of its kind; producing high quality Xrays at the forefront of synchrotron science. To have a beamline or a synchrotron functional, every equipment used needs to be placed in the workspace with high precision. In the current setup, this is supported by bluelining, a technique to

Testing the Grades - Study on the Impact of Online Education during COVID-19 on Student Grades

This study explores the relationship between online education and student grades at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) during the COVID-19 pandemic. By investigating the learning environment's impact on student grades in this setting, we can take advantage of the recommendations of online education in higher education in Sweden, which resulted in an unprecedented sample

Analysis of a putative translation initiation factor of mitoribosomes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Mitochondria play a pivotal role in eukaryotic energy metabolism. Like mitochondria across most eukaryotic species, plant mitochondria contain their own genomes and protein synthesis machinery. However, many plant mitochondrial key proteins and processes remain poorly understood. An example of this is the plant mitochondrial translation initiation. Although the cryoelectron microscopy (EM) structu

Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. One purpose of the setup is to test the possibility of providing environmental monitoring of pure alpha-emitters for the European Spallation Source currently und

Comparative Analysis of Europeanization in the pre-accession Visegrad Four and Associated Trio

Associated Trio is the newest sub-regional format of cooperation in Europe, counting only a year since its foundation in May 2021 by the three member states: Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. It shares some similarities with the Visegrad Group, the most prominent cross-country cooperation format of the Central European states. The most important common feature of these two groups is that their member

Mussels in deep water with climate change: Spatial distribution of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) growth offshore in the French Mediterranean with respect to climate change scenario RCP 8.5 Long Term and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) using Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) modelling

Victoria Persson Abstract Mussel cultivation is a sustainable type of food production that may help mitigate the nutritional needs of a future world population of 10-12 billion in 2100. The demand for mussels on the French market is increasing but the production is saturated due to a lack of space for expanding the cultivation close to shore. This study looked at offshore possibilities for cult

Extraction of avenanthramides from oats (Avena sativa) using pressurized hot water extraction

Introduction: Avenanthramides are antioxidants present in oats, which are interesting as a food additive for functional foods. Background: The most common method used for extraction of avenanthramides is a relative time consuming solid-liquid extraction with aqueous ethanol, which is not suitable for large scale extraction. A greener alternative could be pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE).

H infinity controller for smoothing the coupling error in co-simulated technical systems.

Co-simulation is widely used in industry for the simulation of multi-domain linear-time-invariant systems. However, as a result of the not continuous communication between our coupling variables, simulation results end up being unstable and inaccurate. Among the different strategies that have been developed in the recent years to control co-simulation drawbacks, the aim of this thesis is to unders

Human Rights and the Commodification of Pollution – A Genealogical Study of the Carbon Market with an Intergenerational Justice Perspective

The carbon market promises cost-effective climate change mitigation and economic growth. However, it has been criticised as greenwashing and delaying necessary decarbonisation. This thesis examines the genealogy of the carbon market to address the human rights consequences for future generations. Approaching the issue from a theoretical framework of intergenerational justice enables an understandi

Arbetstillfredsställelse, vår tids mytologi?

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka om gymnasielärare upplever arbetstillfredsställelse inom läraryrket och om Human relations (HR) bidragit eller inte bidragit till upplevelserna av tillfredställelse i arbetet. Trots hög sjukfrånvaro i samhället där arbetet tycks spela en central roll insisterar människan om att arbetet ska översättas i termer som tillfredställelse och meningsfullhet. Lär

När frihet blir en börda

Uppsatsens syftade till att med kvalitativ metod undersöka upplevelsen av att arbeta hemifrån till följd av Covid-19 pandemin och vilket värde arbetare lägger i kontoret. Åtta intervjuer genomfördes med personer vars arbetsvardag blivit mer flexibel för att få djupare förståelse hur människor värdesätter möjligheten till att arbeta flexibelt. Människor upplever sig mer engagerade i sitt arbete när

The Evaluations of Native English Speakers Toward Two Native and Two Non-native English Accents - A study of Language Attitudes Toward English Accents

This paper examined the language attitudes of native English speakers recruited from Reddit toward two native and two non-native English accents by applying the verbal-guise technique and using speech audio files from The Speech Accent Archive (Weinberger, 2017). The two native English accents are General American and Received Pronunciation. The two non-native English accents are German and Mexica

CRIMINAL LIABILITY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT MACHINES:EYEING INTO AI´S MIND

In modern legal systems, criminal responsibility is based on the concept of agency, which includes autonomy, intentionality, and individual accountability. In parallel, as technology advances and the use of artificial intelligence in our daily lives becomes more prevalent, important tasks are entrusted to AI-driven systems. As a result, AI will increasingly perform independently of humans. The mor

”a text… that shares my wonder”: A Survey of Three Contemporary Examples of Creative Criticism

In the last few decades, dissatisfaction with the prevailing critical paradigm ¬– what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as early as 1997 dubbed “paranoid” or “suspicious” reading – has grown significantly. This thesis is a survey of three recent works, The Albertine Workout (2014), Unfinished Business: Notes of A Chronic Re-Reader (2020), and A Ghost in the Throat (2020), that emerge from this discontent. Pa

Black Hole Dynamics in Stellar Clusters

Star clusters can harbour many exotic objects, including black holes (BHs), X-ray binaries and blue straggler stars. In dense stellar environments like globular clusters (GCs), two-body relaxation drives their dynamical evolution, where gravitational interactions between stars strive to equalize their kinetic energy in the cluster. Theoretical studies have indicated that some of these clusters can

Symbiotic Amman

In this thesis project, we introduce an inclusive, environmentally friendly structure to the city of Amman, where both humans and non-humans can coexist and share spaces within the same boundary. We investigated various design approaches and incorporated generative design and Machine Learning in the form-finding phase of different architectural elements. We used the generative design approach in t

”På en gångväg genom en labyrint av höghus”. En analys av miljö, klass och identitet i 5 ungdomsromaner

I Lydia Wistisens avhandling Gångtunneln (2017) nämner hon att storstaden kommit att bli den mest vanliga miljöskildringen i ungdomslitteraturen under 1900-talet. Ungdomar har en egen stadsgeografi och det är dessa erfarenheter som visar sig i ungdomslitteraturen. Ungdomars förflyttningar i staden går från rum till rum. De rör sig i allmänna stadsrum, förbindelseleder, såsom broar, tunnelbanelinje
