Crime prevention in Sweden has become decentralised as the municipalities’ responsibility to contribute to the national crime preventive work has been established in law, while still being shared with the state. At the same time, national focus has shifted to organised criminality and the production of the criminal other. The aim of this thesis was to explore how these two policy developments were
High-pressure homogenisers (HPHs) are used for a variety of food products to create emul-sions. It is interesting both from a sustainable and economical perspective to make HPHs more energy efficient due to their high energy demand and low efficiency. Previous research has shown that drop deformation is affected by the whole HPH valve geometry, including the inlet chamber, and it is hypothesised t
This paper examines the impact of trade openness on income inequality and how this relationship varies across countries at different stages of economic development. Using system GMM, and quantile regression on a self-constructed panel dataset of 57 countries from 1970 to 2015, the study analyzes the moderating roles of political power concentration and economic complexity. Based on the Stolper-Sam
The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 brought an immense destruction to the latter. Hence, the issue of post-war reconstruction is placed in the development agenda. At the same time, the Government of Sweden has stated its commitment to support the post-war efforts in Ukraine, and its interest to involve the private sector in the process. Thus, the justification of the Swedish state r
Den föreliggande studien syftade till att undersöka i vilken utsträckning schematisk extrinsisk kongruensnivå (kongruent, neutral och inkongruent) hos icke-presenterade rumsobjekt och exponeringstid (4 sekunder och 10 sekunder) för rumsbilder påverkade nivåer av falsk minnesbildning. Ett faktoriellt experiment med upprepade mätningar genomfördes med ett urval bestående av 102 svenska deltagare i åThe present study aimed to examine the extent to which schematic extrinsic congruence level (congruent, neutral, and incongruent) of non-present room objects and exposure time (4 seconds and 10 seconds) of room images influenced levels of false memory formation. A factorial repeated-measures experiment was conducted with a sample consisting of 102 Swedish participants aged 18–35 years. The experim
I denna studie fokuserar vi på ett särskilt pedagogiskt förhållningsätt bland jazzpedagoger, vilket vi båda återkommande behövt förhålla oss till under våra jazzstudier. Detta förhållningsätt kännetecknas av stort elevinflytande och fokus på att studenten utvecklar autonomi. På grund av genrens historiska band med USA samt att ovannämnda förhållningssätt står i kontrast till amerikanska jazzpedagoIn this study, we put focus on a particular pedagogic approach among jazz teachers that we’ve encountered during our studies in jazz. This approach is characterized by giving students space to form their own studies and to develop the student’s independence through self-learning. Because of the historical bond that jazz shares with USA and because of the strong contrast within the character of the
In Chinese fan fiction communities, the reporting button was made for flagging inappropriate content, but it has become a weapon in community conflict. An anonymous report can trigger removal or suspension, and those affected receive little explanation of how the decision was made. This thesis names this phenomenon weaponised reporting and asks how it operates and how targets pursue remedies under
Audiovisual synchronization significantly impacts the viewing experience in streaming environments, yet research on latency sensitivity toward spatial audio in Virtual Reality (VR) remains limited. This study conducted an audiovisual synchronization experiment in a virtual opera house, where 18 participants performed multisensory integration tasks using the Meta Quest Pro. The results indicated a
Nuclear power plays a key role in the ongoing energy transition, where efficient performance monitoring is essential to ensure reliable power production. In this thesis, performance monitoring at the Ringhals nuclear power plant is evaluated with the aim of enhancing the understanding of the steam turbine cycle performance, particularly focusing on the condenser and steam turbine. A comprehensive
Before a ligand is ready for commercial use as a drug, a long process of ligand optimization and understanding of the binding dynamics between the ligand and the drug target is required. One approach to tackling this is X-ray crystallography, which involves solving the structure of protein-ligand complexes. The information from the solved structures can be used to further optimize ligands until th
Övergången till mer hållbara livsmedelssystem och växtbaserade proteinkällor har blivit allt viktigare för att minska livsmedelssystemets klimatpåverkan. Rapsfrökaka är en restprodukt från oljeextraktion med potential att användas som råvara för proteinutvinning och vidare tillämpning i växtbaserade livsmedel tack vare dess balanserade komposition av aminosyror. På grund av bitter smak och högt inThe transition to more sustainable food systems and plant-based protein sources has become increasingly important in reducing the climate impact of the food system. Rapeseed press cake is a by-product of oil extraction that has the potential to be used as a raw material for protein extraction and further use in plant-based foods, thanks to its balanced amino acid profile. Due to its bitter taste a
The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether quantum interference between indistinguishable hadronization histories, that is, different ways the string can break while resulting in the same final state, can lead to observable effects in the momentum distributions of particles produced in string fragmentation. In the standard picture, hadronization is treated as a probabilistic process in which
The research examines the application of Article 101(1) TFEU to concerted practices involving indirect information exchanges facilitated through a common intermediary. It evaluates whether the existing framework governing Hub-and-Spoke arrangements are capable of addressing algorithmic collusion where pricing algorithms replace the intermediary. Through a doctrinal analysis of Article 101(1), rele
This thesis looks into how ideological polarisation of party systems (X) influences affective polarisation (Y) on the individual level. Taking off from social identity theory, I assume that larger ideological divergence between parties fosters more emotionally charged evaluations of political opponents because of identity-based in-group and out-group dynamics as well as due to being by virtue diff
The question of Palestine remains one of the most salient dilemmas for policymakers and scholars interested in Middle Eastern and international affairs due to its protracted nature, the many structural limitations it is subject to, and the human and material costs it continues to generate. This thesis explores the current opportunities for regional cooperation in the MENA region around the Palesti
The blue economy emerged as sustainable, inclusive and equitable alternative to traditional oceans economy. However, the current paradigm of oceans as development spaces has led to an acceleration of competing uses of marine resources causing ecosystem deterioration and human rights abuses that disproportionately affect vulnerable small-scale fisheries. Blue justice movements seek to reconcile env
The impact of COVID-19 had unprecedented effects on the international labour market. Businesses went bankrupt, employees were fired, and organisations and employees had to adapt to swiftly working remotely from the office. Extensive studies have been conducted concerning the transition from in-person to remote work, but less so on how the transition from remote work to in-person work in a post-COV
ABSTRACT Strukturförändringar inom industrin i kombination med ny sjöfartsteknologi och utbyggda väg- och järnvägsnät innebar omvälvningar i Sveriges hamnar. Under andra hälften av nittonhundratalet skedde stora förändringar i många av kusthamnarna, såväl volymmässigt som lokaliseringsmässigt och organisatoriskt. I denna studie dras paralleller kring hur hamnrörelsen utvecklades i tre skilda regio
På neonatalavdelningen i Lund bedrivs högspecialicerad vård av barn som föds i för tidig gestalationsålder. I december 2020 skedde en brand i sjukhusets källare, detta resulterade i att brandskyddet på avdelningen förbättrades då brister upptäcktes under branden. Denna rapport är huvudmomentet i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. I rapporten analyseras och utvärderas det
