In an era dominated by digital interfaces, our desire to reintegrate tactile and physical elements into our daily interactions has intensified. By acknowledging the resurgence of vinyl records and the persistent rise of physical music formats, our project seeks to recapture the ritual of music listening that has been lost in the digital age. Our design reflects a conscious effort to create a funct

To meet 2030 climate goals, industries and governments are adopting circular economy principles to mitigate the building industry's environmental impact through reusing, recovering, and recycling. This report incorporates circularity by examining the adaptive reuse of HVAC components in a case study in Malmö, Sweden. Firstly, the report determined which elements of an HVAC system had the highe

This thesis deals with the characterization of the approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving an innovative and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During this thesis work, Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) were studied for the first large-scale prototype of the upgrade, together with a sensor of the same technology with smaller size. Properties of t

This study examined discussions of the "LVU Campaign" on the Swedish forum "Flashback". LVU, the Swedish Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (SFS 1990:52), allows social services to take children into care without parental consent if it is in the best interest of the child. Discourse analysis, using Discourse Theory, was conducted on three forum threads. Two discours

Every day more devices all over the world are connected to networks. Some of these devices have microphones that could potentially be used in a networked array. This opens up the possibility to determine where sounds in the environment are produced, given the positions of the microphones are known. This thesis investigates the feasibility of using a number of network connected speakers with built-

This thesis investigates the causal relationship between board diversity and the performance of firms that have gone public in the Nordics through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) during the 2020s, a period characterised by significant economic, regulatory, and demographic shifts. By implementing a robust instrumental variable (IV) approach with the Bartik shift-share instrument, the study examines

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

I centrum av vår galax, Vintergatan, finns ett supermassivt svart hål som är mer än fyra miljoner gånger så massivt som solen. Runtom detta supermassiva svarta hål, ibland kallat Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), finns ett extremt tätt kluster av stjärnor som utgör det nukleära stjärnklustret. För att förstå hur tätt detta kluster faktiskt är så kan vi jämföra det med avståndet till solens närmaste granne,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 utThe fire protection of an operating ward at Skånes Universitetssjukhus in Lund is to be evaluated with focus on the safe evacuation of people inside, with the purpose of estimating if it is satisfying or if improvements are needed. Several possible worst credible scenarios were identified and evaluated after severity. The two worst scenarios were chosen for further analysis. The first scenario wa

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
