The Lund string model, which is implemented in PYTHIA, describes the hadronization process by representing the color electric field between a quark-antiquark pair as a massless, relativistic string. In the string shoving extension, the strings will have a Gaussian profile and will repel each other when they interact, acting like classical objects. When two strings interact and are positioned perpe
The political landscape in Germany changed dramatically when Alternative für Deutschland became the third largest party. The party started out as eurosceptic but has developed its ideology into being anti-migration and radical right populist while experiencing internal conflicts and becoming controversial in mainstream media. This culminated when the party was classified as right-wing extremist by
Youth crime is a significant social problem, and preventive work targeting young people at risk of criminality is currently of central importance. This study examines how the new Swedish Social Services Act (2025:400) influences preventive social work in relation to risk and protective factors. By exploring social workers’ experiences, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of pre
This study aimed to find and explore potential relations between the consumption of news on social media and psychological distress in young adults through the term news-related posts on social media. This quantitative survey study utilized a sample consisting of 337 students aged between 18 and 30 studying in Lund, Sweden. Information concerning daily news-related social media posts consumption a
The legality requirement under the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) raises important interpretative questions concerning the nature and scope of the due diligence obligations imposed on companies operating in global value chains (GVCs). While the EUDR was primarily adopted as an environmental instrument aimed at reducing the European Union’s contribution to global deforestation
Professional judgement is a complex phenomenon to comprehend and is often forgotten when discussing the importance of knowledge use in discretionary decision-making within Swedish child welfare. Therefore, the study had a dual purpose that aimed to foster a deeper understanding of professional judgement in Swedish child welfare; theoretically, the study aimed to explore the meanings of professiona
This qualitative study aims to explore how relatives of individuals with addiction prob- lems experience and manage their sense of responsibility, and how the balance between their own needs and those of the addicted person is renegotiated over time. The empirical data consists of six semi-structured interviews with relatives recruited through the self-help organization Al-Anon. The material was a
This thesis examines the extent to which EU directives on information and consultation enable employees, through employees’ representatives, to influence employer decision-making before final decisions are adopted, particularly in situations involving restructuring and collective redundancies. The analysis focuses on four central directives within the EU framework: the Information and Consultation
Stora språkmodeller (LLM:er) används i allt större utsträckning som en viktig teknologi i agentbaserade system för mjukvarurelaterade uppgifter. Dessa system är avsedda för att kunna hantera långsiktiga uppgifter och kan bestå av ett flertal interagerande agenter som arbetar mot gemensamma mål. I dessa scenarier förväntas agenterna arbeta med samma kodbas över flera sessioner och utvecklingscyklerLarge Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being used as a key technology in agent-based systems for software-related tasks. These systems are intended to support long-term tasks and may consist of multiple interacting agents working towards shared goals. In these scenarios, agents are expected to work on the same codebase over multiple sessions and development cycles. In long-term software dev
I varje designprojekt bör man tänka på miljöaspekten av det man gör och just detta projekt fokuserar på textilier i förhållande till de möbler de fästs vid. Att fästa tyg är en extra svår utmaning när det kommer till möbeldesign. Ofta används lim, spik eller häftstift, vilket skadar både tyg och den underliggande träkonstruktionen. Genom analoga prototypmetoder utforskar detta projekt alternativa Every design project should consider sustainability, and this one focuses on textiles in relation to furniture. A particularly difficult problem with furniture design is textile attachment. The dressing of a piece of furniture or a seat is usually done using glue and nails, which are invasive both on the fabric and the wood. Through analogue prototyping, this project explores alternative ways to d
Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) play a crucial role in modern wireless communica- tion systems. However, they can achieve high performance only when their internal registers are dynamically and precisely configured. To maintain reliable control while operating in complex multi-antenna environments, several interface techniques have been developed, among which the Serial Peripheral Inte
This thesis examines the secondary exchange of transferable service access on Xianyu, a Chinese C2C platform increasingly used not only for second-hand goods but also for service-related deals among consumers. These include practices such as restaurant proxy ordering, discount-mediated ordering, alternative booking routes, and membership-based privileges. The study explores how participants find,
In multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, the spectral overhead required by orthogonal Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS) limits overall system capacity. Traditional linear estimators experience severe degradation under high pilot sparsity or non-orthogonal superposition. To address these limitations, this thesis proposes a Physics-Guided
This thesis examines legal tensions arising from the interaction between OECD/G20 IF Administrative Guidance and the Pillar Two Directive within the EU legal order. While the Pillar Two Directive remains locked into version of OECD/G20 IF Pillar Two rules as they stood in 2022, the OECD/G20 IF continues to develop its Pillar Two framework through subsequent Administrative Guidance. The thesis exam
Electronic Image Stabilization is a method to digitally stabilize a video feed to remove unwanted motion by transforming the image. The aim is to create a better viewing experience, reduce bitrate, and simplify further video analytics. This thesis explores different algorithms to stabilize Pan-Tilt-Zoom surveillance cameras made by Axis Communications. Many scenarios are investigated, but the case
This project investigates the barriers and opportunities of institutionalizing wellbeing metrics by examining how actors across different scales understand and use wellbeing data generated through the Nova Scotia Quality of Life (NSQoL) Survey. The NSQoL Survey is administered by a non-profit organization, Engage Nova Scotia, and includes 200+ questions measuring a broad range of wellbeing dimensi
This study explores the pre-trip expectations and post-trip perceptions of Chinese tourists regarding the tourism symbols of Northern Europe. Based on destination branding theory, the cognitive-affective-conative framework, and Peirce's triadic semiotic model, the study examines whether there is a gap between expectation and perception for Chinese tourists regarding the tourism symbols of Nort
This thesis investigates daylight performance and energy use in museum environments using Malmö Konsthall as a case study. The aim is to evaluate daylight quality, visual comfort, artwork protection, and energy performance, and to explore how these aspects can be balanced through design strategies. The study combines field measurements, climate-based daylight simulations, energy simulations, and a
This study aimed to examine the relationship between social work students' personal negative life experiences and their motivations for choosing the profession, as well as whether these experiences are reflected in their choice of target group. The study employed a quantitative method and was conducted via a web-based survey distributed to social work students at several universities across Sw
This study investigates how social workers experience personal grief in relation to their professional role, and how their way of showing grief at the workplace is affected by colleagues and the organizational context. The aim is to explore how personal experiences of grief enrich the social worker’s professional role. The aim was achieved through a qualitative study, where seven semi-structured i
