While the climate crisis is escalating, environmental movements play a critical role in driving socio-political change. However, political instability is becoming more prevalent in many countries, presenting a potential opportunity and/or challenge for social mobilization. Therefore, this study investigates how environmental activists navigate political instability, based on interviews with enviro
Hur ett flerbostadshus från miljonprogrammet kan energieffektiviseras genom att renovera fasadväggarnas klimatskal undersöks i denna studie. Denna renovering ska ske med material som har en så liten klimatpåverkan som möjligt ur ett livscykelperspektiv. Anledningen är att göra renoveringen så aktuell som möjligt genom att vara anpassad efter dagens problem och behov gällande klimatomställningen saAlthough the Swedish building sector is today one of the cleanest in Europe, there remain many areas for improvement. The building sector currently accounts for 22.1% of Sweden’s total CO2 equivalent emissions, of which 28% stems from renovation and another 28% from heating. Combined with the deteriorating condition of Sweden’s Miljonprogram housing stock and its already substantial need for renov
The aim of this thesis was to determine if and to what extent leprosy and syphilis was present at the graveyard of St:Jörgen in medieval Malmö, as well as trying to understand if it was used as a leprosy hospital. A total of 42 individuals were studied in this thesis. This thesis was based on previous pathological comments regarding changes to the skeleton that could have been interpreted as eithe

The general topic of study is energy-efficient housing and user habits, with a specific focus on plus-energy houses and the impact of airing habits. The central question addressed is how user habits and airing affect the total energy use, depending on the variations in user habits. Previous research on airing and user habits remains limited. In Sweden, the currently recommended extra energy needed
Control systems at European Spallation Source (ESS) are large-scale, complex and difficult to model using traditional approaches. Data-driven methods are therefore required to model systems such as the Cryogenic Moderator System (CMS) and Target Helium Cooling System (THCS). This work presents a control-system modeling approach based on the Transformer and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), enabling l
Toxic workplaces have received increased attention in line with an increased focus on employee well-being and the psychosocial work environment. The complexity of the phenomenon, in combination with its negative impact on both individuals and organizations, makes it an important subject to investigate. Recent research shows that a toxic work environment is the strongest predictor of employee turno
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has placed retail organisations at the centre of a transformation that employees are largely left to navigate on their own. This study with the title Coping with Artificial Chaos: How Retail Organisations Make Sense of Disruptive Technological Innovations – A Qualitative Study on the Example of AI examines how retail employees make sense of disruptive
This study examines how trustworthiness is constructed in Chinese livestream ecommerce through the relationship between streamers and consumers. Focusing on selected Douyin livestream selling clips, the study uses a qualitative comparative case study design and multimodal thematic analysis to compare trustbuilding practices across streamers of different levels, including super, large, medium, an
This thesis investigates the nature of the urban development process of Kigali, Rwanda, with an emphasis on the regularisation of Kigali’s informal settlements. Specifically, it seeks to answer what the current state of knowledge globally of regularisation is, and what actors and factors influence the urban development process in Kigali, from the perspective of urban planning and land management,
Drones are becoming more common everywhere, and with that comes the risk of unauthorized drones entering protected areas such as airports or military sites. One way to deal with this is to send out another drone to find and follow the unknown one for closer inspection. This project built a system that does exactly that. A drone equipped with a camera is able to automatically spot another drone, es
In the past, robots were goal-based agents and experienced a more limited world. These robots needed to be instructed on each individual step or action to complete a larger task. They worked in static and well-modelled environments and run predefined behaviours where their missions consisted of repeating a single task (e.g. assembling and vacuum cleaning). Nowadays the world of robots and autonomo
Obesity is a disease that has experienced a significant world wide increase over the past decades, sometimes even being referred to as an epidemic. And while there are many serious and well known effects caused by obesity, there could be even more that we don’t yet know about. This experiment intends to study the change between protein corona formation around lipid nanoparticles incubated in plas
This exploratory work investigates the relationship between state capacity and economic resilience across the ASEAN–4 cases: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. The exploration applies the State Capacity as Power (SCP) framework to distinguish between state capacity and interrelated concepts. Congruently, fiscal revenues, bureaucratic human capital, and centralised information are d
Festivals are increasingly studied as service ecosystems in which value is co-created by attendees and organizers. The pre-event phase, however, remains underexamined as a site of this co-creation. This study examines how festival attendees co-create value during the pre-event journey, how these practices reveal unmet needs, and how organizers turn those needs into entrepreneurial opportunities. I
Digital Predistortion (DPD) is an essential component of modern mobile communication systems ensuring that distortion, created by the nonlinearities of the Power Amplifier (PA) is reduced while allowing them to be operated at high efficiency levels. This thesis has investigated the use of an unsupervised machine learning method known as Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) as a way to define and populate
Purpose: This study investigates how beauty filter usage and video popularity in influencer-led short-form beauty videos influence consumers’ purchase intention toward cosmetic products. The study further examines the mediating role of perceived social media influencer (SMI) authenticity and the moderating role of need for uniqueness (NFU). Main Research Question: How does beauty filter usage and
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 project investigates possible elliptic flow in electron-positron collisions, focusing on the event e+e- to W+W- to q1q2q3q4, which hadronizes into four jets. While collective flow phenomena are typically associated with large systems such as heavy-ion collisions and the formation of quark-gluon plasma, recent theoretical and experimental findings suggest that flow-like effects may also occur
Since the digital art commission market is a new business model in the art industry, the discovery of potential mechanisms for setting digital art commission prices is considered limited. This research explores the mechanism between an artist’s reputation level by the number of followers and artwork prices in the online digital art commission market for an exploratory study of developing the prici
