Over the last twenty years, an exciting interplay has emerged between proof systems and algorithms. Some natural families of algorithms can be viewed as a generic translation from a proof that a solution exists into an algorithm for finding the solution itself. This connection has perhaps been the most consequential in the context of semi-algebraic proof systems and basic primitives in algorithm d
The internet has undergone a profound transformation, evolving from an academic-military experiment into the dominant infrastructure of the platform-based Web 2.0, and is now potentially transitioning toward a decentralized Web3. While this evolution is often portrayed as a primarily technical process, this chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding the socio-political and institutional co
Perovskite oxides are a versatile class of materials with tunable electronic structures, making them attractive for catalytic applications, including the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The surface reactivity of these oxides is closely tied to the electronic structure of transition metal cations, particularly their 3d orbital occupation, which can be modulated by interfacial engineering. In this
Background and aims: Drought weakens tree defenses, predisposing Norway spruce (Picea abies) to spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) attack. The extreme 2018 summer drought in Sweden triggered an unprecedented bark beetle outbreak. Our objective was to quantify how weather, soil moisture, and tree provenance influence Norway spruce defense capacity to a necrotrophic beetle-associated pathogen. Met
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are increasingly promoted as part of future fossil-free energy systems, yet they may introduce new types of risks and involve a broader set of actors compared to conventional nuclear power plants. The study examines how key actors in Sweden understand SMRs and interpret their roles in radiation emergency preparedness. This qualitative study is based on qualitative int
Background: Early ambulation is a cornerstone of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs, reducing pulmonary and thromboembolic complications. Gynecologic oncology patients are at particular risk, yet factors of delayed ambulation remain underexplored. Using objective monitoring from a real-time locating system (RTLS), this study examined patient and procedural predictors of delayed ambula
Nonwoven fibre networks underpin filtration, insulation and geotextiles, where liquid uptake, redistribution and release govern performance. In needle-punched felts, barbed needles mechanically entangle fibres and partially reorient them towards the thickness direction (z), creating out-of-plane “pillars” and heterogeneity. While mechanical and structural consequences of needling are well document
Klättercentralen är ett transformeringprojekt i Lokstallarna, Kirseberg. Lokstallarna har en mer än 100-årig historia bakom sig. Under stor del av 1900-talet var Lokstallarna en tågverkstad för Sveriges många tåg. Under slutet av 1900-talet blev många av lokalerna tomma då verkstaden lades ner. Därefter har fler olika företag hyrt in sig på området. Idag är Lokstallarna under utveckling då Malmö s
Contemporary lifestyles are increasingly characterized by prolonged sitting and reduced everyday physical activity, contributing to a range of health-related challenges. This project investigates whether residential architecture can encourage everyday movement and support health without relying on institutional or fitness-oriented solutions. The research explores how the layout of the home and
Material decarbonization in construction is often framed as a technical challenge of substituting high-carbon materials with lower-carbon alternatives. However, organizations seeking to reduce material-related/ embodied emissions must also address significant uncertainties related to regulation, supplier capacity, technology scale-up, client demand, project economics, data quality, and internal go
This thesis examines the extent to which market-mediated refugee housing arrangements in Sweden, specifically the Own Accommodation (Eget boende: EBO) system as implemented in the municipality of Malmö, comply with Swedish non-discrimination obligations under Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, alongside secondary EU law requirements governing equal access to hou
Food consumption is one of the largest contributors to household environmental impacts and plays a central role in climate change, resource use, and biodiversity loss. Although many consumers express positive attitudes toward sustainable consumption, previous research shows that purchasing decisions are often driven by price, habits, and convenience rather than environmental concerns. This study t
The European Union’s circular economy regulations are converging on manufacturers within a compressed 2026-2028 window: the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive with its European Sustainability Reporting Standard for Resource Use and Circular Economy module (CSRD-ESRS-E5), the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and its Digital Product Passport, the Battery and End-of-Life Vehicl
This study examines how pornography is constructed in Swedish opinion media, focusing on how power, responsibility, and vulnerability are discursively distributed among gendered subjects. The study is grounded in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and draws on Michel Foucault’s theories of discourse and power, Judith Butler’s theory of vulnerability, and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theory of intersectional
The purpose of this essay is to uncover how fashion in the royal court during the renaissance can be used to communicate power. To do this I have done research on Queen Elizabeth I and Quenn Christina of Sweden to understand how powerful women of the renaissance between 16th century and mid-17th century dressed. These queens are also women that had the highest position of power in a society where
This thesis explores the production, transformation, and legitimation of the concept of “good taste” within the field of luxury fashion. Using the Gucci Jackie handbag as an analytical object, the study examines how a single fashion item can maintain its cultural legitimacy and symbolic value despite significant shifts in its visual expression and cultural context. Through three historically situa
This study examines how clothing practices at Studio 54 between 1977 and 1980 functioned as visual expressions of status, identity and belonging. Through a qualitative visual analysis of ten black-and-white photographs from Hasse Persson’s photobook Studio 54, the study investigates how clothing, styling and bodily expressions contributed to the construction of social hierarchies within the nightc
This study examines how Lund University navigates the integration of generative AI and what conditions shape its ability to pursue sustainability goals, with a particular focus on SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). As generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in higher education, universities face growing pressure to adopt these technologies while mana
This thesis explores how project manager competences are shaped by business transformation contexts under evolving organisational capability pressures. In increasingly complex and changing business environments, organisations rely on projects to translate strategic priorities into practice and support organisational value creation. As a result, the role of project managers is expanding beyond trad
