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
All government controlled business is controlled by the law of public procurement and its five fundamental principles. If these are not fulfilled the procurement is at risk of being subject to a review procedure, which requires both time and money. Therefore it is important to ensure the quality of these processes for contracting authorities such as Region Skåne, especially in conjunction with the
Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. Moreover, the longevity of the gas and building infrastructure make the sector prone
This paper analyzes the potential association between climate change and child marriage outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. By combining climate data with socioeconomic data from female respondents, a total of 26 Sub-Saharan countries were included in the analysis. To study the proposed relationship, temperature and precipitation were used as proxies for climate change. The relationship of interest wa
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. In Sweden, the raw material used for CLT is mainly pine and spruce, which are softwoods. However, different woo
Pulmonary drug delivery is a continuously developing technology in which medication is inhaled to the lungs and enters the bloodstream through the alveolar epithelium. Pulmonary drug delivery gives the ability to deliver drugs directly to the respiratory tract, it has a rapid onset of activity and smaller doses can be administered locally compared to the other routes of administration. The formula

Sustainable development is a widely discussed concept, and it is needed because the world is facing a massive global challenge of climate change. Sustainable development is envisioned as an all-inclusive concept of three dimensions; environment, economy, and society. However, there are trade-offs between these three dimensions. Thereby, there is a need for an enhanced understanding of the relation
The Swedish pension reform in the 1990s introduced several individualistic features and a debate has emerged on the implications of the structure and if policymakers behind the reform had unrealistic assumptions on economic behaviour. Given the potential negative implications of the current structure and the projections on how foreign-born women is at risk of receiving future low pensions, a quali
