Amidst global efforts to address pressing environmental challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, education for sustainable development emerges as a pivotal tool for fostering societal transformation towards a more sustainable future. Within this context, competence frameworks serve as essential guidelines for integrating sustainability into education. This research investigates th
The Milky Way harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its dynamical center. Surrounding the SMBH is a dense nuclear star cluster (NSC) which is believed to include a binary population. Beyond $0.1\mathrm{pc}$ from the SMBH, Eccentric-Kozoai Lidov oscillations are suppressed by general relativity precession, and the dynamical evolution of binaries are completely dominated by encounters with oth
Bakgrund: Kabinpersonalen präglas av en mängd olika normer och regler, dessa utgörs av säkerhetskrav, hierarkier och professionella riktlinjer. Dessa strukturer styr kabinpersonalens arbete, vars huvudsakliga uppgift är att säkerställa passagerarnas säkerhet och komfort under flygningen. Denna yrkesgrupp står inför en unik utmaning med konstant exponering för passagerare och behovet av att hantera
To meet the future demands and growing challenges in operating heat-exchangers at temperatures greater than 600°C, it is crucial to understand the high-temperature oxidation performance of materials for their components. Namely, it is necessary to study oxidation kinetics and elemental composition of the oxide scale to understand how the materials behave and degrade in such extreme conditions. In
At a time when artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, this thesis explores the issue of copyright infringement of AI-generated artworks. This study aims to analyze the legal complexities brought about by the increasingly widespread application of artificial intelligence in the creation of original artworks, with a special focus on the protection of creators’ rights and intellectual propert
A study investigating methods of ultrasound imaging for detection and treatment of Hirschsprung's disease. Hirschsprung's disease is characterized by the absence of ganglia cells in the colon and rectum. The diagnosis today consists of x-ray and biopsies from the bowel wall. The affected part of the bowel needs to be surgically removed to allow normal bowel function. During the surgery bio
I en rapport från Brottsförebyggande rådet så framkommer skolan som en plats där många unga utsätts för brott. Idag har skolor ingen skyldighet att polisanmäla brott i skolmiljö, utan det är upp till varje rektor att avgöra om det förekommer fall där det anses vara lämpligt. Regeringen har 2024 presenterat ett förslag om att polisanmälningar bör bli obligatoriskt vid all brottslighet i skolan. Tid
Digital Deception and Inoculation: A Quantitative Study on Strategic Communica-tion Tactics Against AI-Generated Images and the Role of Bullshit Receptivity This thesis investigates the effectiveness of inoculation treatment using prebunking techniques to develop psychological defenses against believing syn-thetic images online. The study focuses on the influence of Bullshit Receptivity levels, s
Vid läskedryckproduktion kontrolleras kvalitén på läsken genom avgasning och aciditetsmätning. För att uppnå en tillförlitlig aciditetsmätning krävs det att all kolsyra är avlägsnad från läsken. Om det finns kolsyra kvar i läsken vid aciditetsmätningen påverkar den aciditetsresultatet till att bli missvisande. I dagsläget finns en väl fungerande metod för avgasning men som eventuellt är onödigt ti
In this thesis, I describe how Heads of Government can mobilise crises to foster unity among EU member states and strengthen the sense of a shared European identity. The thesis analyzed five statements by the Heads of Government in Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Greece, and Luxembourg to gain a more profound understanding of how they strategically used the This is Europe debates to promote unity and
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur högstadielärare upplever sin brottsförebyggande roll samt vad de anser kan förändras inom skolans brottsförebyggande arbete. För att samla in information har studien använt sig av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med sex stycken högstadielärare. Resultatet från intervjuerna analyserades därefter med hjälp av det teoretiska ramverket, nämligen Travis Hirsc
This thesis investigates the effects of monetary policy on investments by venture capital firms. Modeling central banks’ interest rates and various macroeconomic variables on venture capital investments, we find a statistically significant relationship whereby expansive monetary policy is correlated with more investment in startups by venture capital. The panel data models use data from 2000 to 20
Brandskyddet på en operationsavdelning vid Skånes Universitetssjukhus i Lund ska utvärderas med fokus på personsäkerhet för att bedöma om brandskyddet är tillräckligt eller om det behöver göras åtgärder. Ett studiebesök genomfördes där utformning av lokalen studerades samt personal intervjuades om hur brandskyddet fungerar på plats. Ett antal möjliga värsta troliga scenarion identifierades och ut
This thesis addresses the European Union (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) by analysing whether recourse to Article 192(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) is a sufficient legal basis for the instrument, as well as how the mechanism relates to Articles I, II, III, and XX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in terms of possibilities for com
Inom det psykodynamiska fältet har det länge funnits en teoretisk medvetenhet om att avslutet i psykoterapi ofta väcker starka känslomässiga reaktioner hos patienter. Symtomökning vid avslut har förståtts som en naturlig och övergående reaktion på den stundande separationen. I studier har symtomökningen visats vara vanligare i psykodynamisk terapi och vara övergående med återhämtning efter avslutaWithin the psychodynamic field, there has long been a theoretical awareness that termination in psychotherapy often evokes strong emotional reactions in patients. Increased symptoms at termination have been understood as a natural and transient reaction to the impending separation. Studies have shown symptom exacerbation to be more common in psychodynamic therapy and to be transient with recovery
Food packages preserve foodstuff during storage. Some packages have caps, some of which have internal pull rings for easy removal of a membrane that extend the shelf life. The pull-rings are injection molded directly onto the package in the filling machine at the customer site. Any defect in the pull ring causes filled packages to be discarded at a significant cost to the supply chain. Some batche
Lantmännen Cerealia i Malmö utför provbak av bröd som ett led i deras kvalitetskontroll av ett malet mjöl. Nuvarande metod med provbakning av bröd på Lantmännen innehåller ister. Det är en kvarleva från förr då det var ett vanligt fett att använda till bakning. Det stämmer dock dåligt överens med hur det ser ut i bagerierna som idag använder framförallt rapsolja som fett i bakningen. KvalitetsavdeAs part of their ground flour quality control, Lantmännen Cerealia in Malmö bakes bread for testing purposes. Lantmännen's current bread baking process involves the use of lard. This is a relic from the past when it was a common fat for baking. However, it does not agree with how it looks in bakeries, which today mainly use rapeseed oil as fat in baking. The quality department at Lantmännen is
