Driven by sustainability goals and regulatory pressure, the packaging industry is transitioning from complex multilayer structures toward mono material solutions that are more easily recyclable. This shift presents challenges, especially in high-performance applications such as microwaveable ready meals, where packaging must endure sealing, cooking, and reheating processes without compromising saf

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka ålders- och könsskillnader i moral, samt hur skillnader i moral påverkar bedömningar av brott. Brottsbeskattning användes som en praktisk applikation av moral. Moral Foundations Theory användes som ett teoretiskt ramverk. Det förväntas att äldre generationer skulle värdesätta bindande moralfundament, och att kvinnor skulle värdera individualiserande moralfunThis study aimed to investigate age and gender differences in morality, as well as, how differences in morality affects judgments of crime. Crime judgments were used as a practical application of morality. Moral Foundations Theory served as a theoretical framework for this study. It was hypothesised that older generations would value binding moral foundations, while women would value individualisi

This study aims to explore how professionals working with preventive social work reason regarding the understanding of the term preventive social work. Furthermore, the study looked into how current discourses were presented by the social workers. In addition, we also aimed to explore the potential benefits and challenges associated with preventive social work. This was examined in light of the ne

Sundarban mangrove is the largest continuous mangrove forest in the world and is the habitat of an incredible amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity loss and degradation of this highly ecologically productive mangrove forest due to climate change will have a tremendous impact on the livelihood of the people living in the deltaic region. The present study was aimed to find out the dynamics of change

This study aims to examine the experience of international students from Lund and Malmö universities regarding social participation and loneliness throughout their studies abroad. I conducted qualitative interviews with international students from the universities. After I gathered my empirical data, I then assessed their experiences through Goffman’s stigma theory and Antonovsky’s sense of cohere

This master's thesis investigates the commercialization of video-capture-based sports technology in the Swedish lower-tier sports sector, a segment where adoption remains limited despite the growing relevance of such tools in elite contexts. Several scholars have highlighted the need for further research on how high-end technologies can be adapted to resource-constrained environments. This the

Är framtiden hyggesfri? De senaste åren har intresset för skogar som sköts utan kalhyggen ökat, inte minst i takt med att klimatförändringarna gör sig alltmer påminda. När man brukar skogen med hyggesfria metoder tas virket fortfarande tillvara, virke som kan användas till hus, papper eller möbler. Samtidigt står mycket av skogen kvar vilket gör att den kan bjuda in till friluftsliv, bidra till aThe most common forest management practice in Sweden is rotation forestry, based on clear-cutting and replanting. However, considering biodiversity loss and climate change, this model has been increasingly questioned. As an alternative, continuous cover forestry (CCF) is proposed for its potential to promote multifunctionality and enhance climate resil-ience. This study aimed to identify barriers

Phosphorylation is one of the main post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulating protein function, where kinases reversibly add phosphate groups to specific amino acid residues (phosphosites). Kinase activity is altered in breast cancer (BC), resulting in loss of regulation of several cellular processes. Phosphoproteomics emerges as a powerful approach for profiling samples at phosphosite lev

När datorn blir kemistens bästa verktyg Datorbaserade verktyg blir mer och mer vanliga i de flesta verksamheter - och kemisk syntes är inget undantag. Genom att förutspå hur kemiska reaktioner sker redan innan de testas i labbet är det möjligt att spara tid, resurser och minska miljöpåverkan. Tekniken har därmed förändrat hur kemisk syntes planeras och genomförs. I många vitt skilda branscher spThe synthesis of small organic molecules in the pharmaceutical industry necessitates efficiency and selectivity. For obtaining selectivity in C(sp2)-H functionalization, thianthrenation has emerged as a promising method for furnishing electrophilic substrates, with thianthrene acting as a linchpin that facilitates selective functionalization through subsequent displacement reactions. This thesis u

This paper presents the first comprehensive analysis of the systematic archival erasure surrounding the mass killing of Afro-Caribbean laborers at Anna’s Hope during the Fireburn uprising on St. Croix in 1878. Although internal telegrams and eyewitness accounts refer explicitly to a "great slaughter" of Black insurgents at Anna's Hope on 3 October 1878, the incident is conspicuously absent from of

Med bakgrund av egna erfarenheter har vi sett att nybörjarstadiet är kritiskt i improvisationsundervisningen samt att det ofta saknats konkreta verktyg för att lära sig att improvisera. Syftet med studien har därför varit att undersöka hur man introducerar improvisation för ovana improvisatörer, samt att identifiera vilka faktorer som underlättar elevens utveckling. Vårt fokus för studien har variFrom personal experience we have observed how critical the beginner stage of learning musical improvisation is to future studies in the subject, and how there seems to be lacking a consistent approach to introduce beginner students to improvisation. This study aims to examine how improvisation is introduced to beginner improvisers as well asidentify which factors facilitate a student’s progression

In the 1980s, the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons underwent a controversy, as the game was accused of being satanic, occult, or otherwise dangerous. This essay seeks to create a deeper and more holistic understanding of how US. American Christian evangelicals imagined the game Dungeons & Dragons from 1979 to 1991. A variety of written source material is analysed using qualitat

A biographical ideology-analysis of Sven Arvid Flory’s diaries, 1932‒1941. This study follows the diaries of the Swedish officer Sven Arvid Flory from 1932 through 1941, analysing the political and personal notes made and relating them to broader frameworks of ideology. First impressions of the material hinted at nazi sympathies. The study then focused on these ideological aspects of the diaries,

This thesis examines the causes and effects of the 1762 prohibition introduced by the Swedish diet against the collection of seabird eggs. The study lies at the intersection of environmental, political, animal, and hunting history, focusing on environmental regulations concerning huntable species imposed by political authorities. Previous research has largely accepted the prohibition as a given, w

The dream of woman : the construction of hegemonic femininity and the woman’s place in bourgeois culture in the Swedish and British fashion press, 1830–1855. This thesis investigates the construction of hegemonic femininity in British and Swedish fashion periodicals between 1830 and 1855, a period often overlooked in history research. Through an intersectional lens, drawing on theories of fashion

In the following study a collection of almost 300 travelogues from the second half of the 19th century is investigated. The travellers were technicians in the sense that they were technically knowledgeable and skilled individuals. The technicians, most of them skilled workers, travelled through the industrialised countries in Europe as well as the United States. During their travels they worked in
