Forest fires are a natural disturbance in the Swedish landscape. These are largely dependent on meteorological conditions. However, anthropogenic interference and climate change are shifting natural patterns of fire behaviour. The present study examined trends in weather parameters influencing forest fire activity to improve the understanding of changing fire risk in Sweden. Data from twelve weath
Rural towns and areas has both challenges and opportunities of regional and local public connections on a human scale. Urbanization is pushing the rural areas into big scale infrastructural solutions, but also creates barriers for accessible public space on a human scale. The project investigates rurality from a broad perspective to local perspective, and what rurality means in terms of accessibi
Denna studie undersöker hur stora verksamhetsutövare inom livsmedelssektorn arbetar med implementeringen av den svenska cybersäkerhetslagen samt vilka förutsättningar, utmaningar och tolkningar som påverkar implementeringen. Lagen bygger på EU:s NIS2-direktiv och syftar till att stärka cybersäkerheten och motståndskraften inom samhällsviktiga verksamheter i Europa. Genom NIS2-direktivet har livsme
Denna studie undersöker upplevd tillit till LLM-baserade beslutsstödsystem inom svenska Försvarsmakten genom en scenariobaserad enkätstudie med 61 respondenter, där militär personal exponerades för fyra hypotetiska vinjetter med varierande systemautonomi och operativ kontext. Kvantitativa data analyserades med icke-parametriska metoder och kompletterades med tematisk analys av fritextsvar. Resulta
Detta examensarbete behandlar vidareutvecklingen av ett industriellt IoT-system för insamling, överföring, lagring och visualisering av data från PLC-baserade styrsystem. Projektet genomfördes i samarbete med uppdragsgivaren och utgick från en tidig prototyp framtagen för att verifiera den grundläggande dataöverföringen mellan systemets olika delar. Prototypen saknade dock större delar av den funkThis thesis presents the further development of an industrial IoT system for the collection, transmission, storage, and visualization of data from PLC-based control systems. The project was carried out in collaboration with the client and was based on an early prototype developed to verify the fundamental data transfer between the different parts of the system. However, the prototype lacked severa
This study aims to examine how social workers in adult-oriented services describe their consideration of the child perspective when the adult client is also a parent. Furthermore, the study will explore the opportunities, limitations, and ethical dilemmas that emerge in this professional work. The study will adopt a qualitative research approach and is based on six semi-structured interviews with
In 2005, the EU launched its flagship environmental policy, the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Through the framework of the leading environmental regulation theories, the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) and the Porter Hypothesis (PH), this study explores the effect of Phase 3 of the EU ETS on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and the industrial production index (IPI). Using
Efforts are increasingly being made to enhance the carbon (C) storage capacity of agricultural soils as a strategy for climate change mitigation by reducing C losses from croplands. Perennial crops have been shown to increase soil organic matter (SOM) storage and promote the stabilisation of soil C, thereby potentially reducing the climate impact of agriculture, although often producing lower yiel
Mellan 1983 och 2009 pågick en konflikt mellan de srilankesiska säkerhetsstyrkorna och den separatistiska organisationen Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) i den nordöstra delen av Sri Lanka. Konflikten resulterade i hundratusentals döda, försvunna, och internflyktingar. Sri Lankas muslimska minoritet hamnade i korselden, blev direkt måltavla för båda sidor i konflikten, och utförde hämndattaBetween 1983 and 2009, Sri Lanka’s northeast was ravaged by a conflict between the Sri Lankan security forces and the secessionist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The conflict resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, disappearances, and displacements. Sri Lanka’s Muslim minority was caught in the crossfire, directly targeted by both sides to the conflict, and attacked civilians in ret
Preterm infants benefit from combined supplementation of arachidonic acid (ARA), docosahex-aenoic acid (DHA) and choline, but ARA/DHA-rich oils are highly susceptible to lipid oxida-tion. This project aimed to develop and evaluate choline-enriched DHA/ARA oil-in-water emulsions with suitable physical and oxidative stability. Emulsions were prepared by high-pressure homogenization using two AquaCel
Environmental and health risks are increasing in large Mediterranean cities like Athens, where high urban density and limited vegetation intensify the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study analyzes the spatial patterns of surface urban heat in Athens, Greece, using satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) as a proxy for UHI conditions. LST datasets were derived from Landsat 8 thermal
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how marketing professionals make sense of the ethical and CSR implications of using GenAI in marketing and how they assign responsibility for its potential consequences. Exploring further and understanding the gap between organizational obligations and individuals' ethical judgment is crucial to developing effective strategies for responsib
This study evaluates an object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach using YOLOv11s-seg instance segmentation model for classifying thermally relevant land cover types from 0.16 m resolution orthophotos across three municipalities in Scania, Sweden. Six thermally relevant classes were defined: asphalt, bright roof, brown roof, dark roof, tree canopy and grass. The model was trained on annotations f
Companies play a central role in international efforts to counteract ongoing biodiversity loss, which threatens human welfare and the global economy. They are expected to use biodiversity metrics and indicators in strategic sustainability work to understand and manage their impacts and dependencies on biodiversity. At the same time, this work remains at an early stage and is characterised by sever
This study investigates the combustion and emission characteristics of a two-stroke, direct-injection ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engine under low-load conditions relevant to large marine engines. Although ammonia is carbon-free and can reduce direct CO2 emissions, its low reactivity, strong evaporation cooling, and nitrogen chemistry may cause incomplete combustion, NH3 slip, an
Title: Investigating Maintenance Strategy Selection and Performance Measurement Readiness: A Case Study of Tetra Pak Authors: Siri Byrenius & Isa Roslin Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Associate Professor at the Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Examiner: Ebba Eriksson Ahre, Postdoc at the Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund Un
This project aimed to redesign a ratcheting tool used for industrial door installation and to evaluate whether selected design for manufacturing and assembly methods were beneficial for the design development. The tool design went through three design iterations following a general concept development methodology, with the aim to minimise the amount of parts and unique manufacturing methods and
This thesis documents the design and fabrication of ceramic loudspeaker horns using slip casting and digital fabrication tools, and evaluates their acoustic performance against geometrically equivalent 3D printed PLA reference horns. Two horn profiles were developed and realised through a workflow combining mathematical profile generation, CAD modelling, 3D printing, and slip casting. The acousti
Digitala prenumerationstjänster är ofta enkla att påbörja men svårare att avsluta. Denna studie undersöker vilka dark pattern-mekanismer användare upplever som mest påverkande i avslutningsflöden och hur dessa påverkar beslutet att fullfölja, skjuta upp eller avbryta en uppsägning. Studien bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med användare som har erfarenhet av att avsluta eller försöka avsluta
