This study examines how the political debate climate in Sweden has shifted between 2015 and 2025, where the main focus has been on analyzing the increase of provocative and incivil rhetoric within the Swedish parliament. The purpose of the study is to examine how this rhetoric strategy has developed over time and which types of consequences a hardening debate climate could create for societal trus
Handover of Construction Projects from Project to Facility Management Organisation: A Case Study of the Internal Handover Process Challenges and Opportunities for Improvement at Akademiska Hus Authors Moa Frid, Moa Magnusson Supervisor Stefan Olander, Senior Lecturer, Division of Construction Management,Department of Building and Environmental Technology, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering E
This thesis examines contemporary romance fiction with neurodivergent themes on BookTok as a cultural site where ideas about love, normality, and human value are negotiated and reproduced, positioning “neuro-romance” as an emerging subgenre within contemporary romance. Through a qualitative text analysis combining feminist counter-reading and narrative analysis, the thesis explores how neurodiverg
Employee surveys (ES) are widely institutionalised in large organisations across Sweden and other Western countries, often embedded in formal or legally required work environment monitoring. ES serve to enable employee voice, enhance internal communication, and support organisational development. Despite their widespread use and growing popularity, they have been criticised for frequently lacking
Industrial control systems must ensure reliable operation while respecting physical and operational constraints. In practice, PID controllers dominate industrial control, often cited as covering over 95% of control loops. PID controllers are reliable, well understood, and easy to maintain, but they cannot explicitly handle constraints. In contrast, model predictive control (MPC) can enforce constr
Following the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011 and the subsequent collapse of the national oil infrastructure, small-scale, makeshift oil refineries emerged in al-Hasakah Governorate as a new form of infrastructure to ensure local access to oil products. While reports have documented these developments and their widespread negative consequences for both humans and the environment, previous
Forensic pathology is a branch of medicine that aims to determine the manner and cause of unnatural, suspicious or unexpected deaths that require a legal investigation. An important part of determining the cause of death is the examination of the body through an autopsy. The purpose of this project is to evaluate whether machine learning algorithms can predict cause of death based on autopsy data.
This thesis studies the analytic structure of steady two-dimensional water waves using methods from complex analysis. For incompressible, inviscid, irrotational flows, the velocity field can be described by a complex potential that is analytic in the fluid domain. This analytic structure allows the use of conformal mapping and analytic continuation techniques to study the geometry of the free surf
This study investigates travel behaviour, transport choices, and attitudes towards public transport among individuals with residential parking permits in the municipality of Trelleborg, Sweden. The aim is to explore how everyday mobility patterns are formed, which factors influence the choice between car use and public transport, and how attitudes towards sustainable mobility relate to actual tran
The demand for better networks and faster speeds within telecommunications has been an ever-growing ambition for the last decade. A promising candidate for dealing with this demand is distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D- MIMO) systems that combine large-scale antenna arrays and decentralized node architectures. However, evaluating the possibilities and limitations of such system requires
This study examines how Canadian news media discourse constructed and contested medical assistance in dying (MAiD) eligibility for people with mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition between 2020 and 2025. Drawing on boundary theory, framing theory, Wimmer’s (2008) taxonomy of boundary-making strategies, and Brante and Hallberg’s (1991) concept of incommensurability, this study app
This thesis explores experiences and perceptions of interreligious dialogue of students at Lund University, with a particular focus on members of religion-based student associations. The study aims to examine how students understand interreligious dialogue, how they experience interactions with people from other faith traditions, and what motivates or limits interreligious engagement between diffe
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur materialanvändningen i platsgjutna betongbjälklag och betongväggar i flerbostadshus kan minskas genom att separera den bärande betongen från funktioner som inte behöver lösas inom själva den bärande konstruktionsdelen. Studien motiveras av betongbyggandets höga klimatpåverkan och av indikationer på att materialanvändningen i betongkonstruktioner har ökat över tidThis thesis investigates how material use in cast in situ concrete slabs and walls for multi-storey residential buildings can be reduced by separating the load-bearing concrete from functions that do not have to be solved within the structural member itself. The study is motivated by the high climate impact of concrete construction and by indications that material use in concrete structures has in
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how accountants in Swedish SMEs perceive their professional role and navigate multiple expectations related to regulatory compliance, business support, and organisational demands. Methodology: The study used a qualitative research approach with a multiple case study of ten Swedish SMEs. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data that w
