Gruvavfall är världens största miljöproblem om man räknar i ton. Detta orsakar bland annat metallförorenat lakvatten samt försurning av mark och vatten. Gruvbrytning har förekommit i större skala sedan 1800-talet vilket har medfört stora mängder av avfall som tidigare deponerades i naturen utan hänsyn till miljön. Från deponier med gruvavfall transporteras vittringsprodukter (sulfat, syror och tun
BioMS is the national infrastructure for biological mass spectrometry (MS). BioMS offers access to qualified projects in proteogenomics, targeted protein quantitation, glycoproteomics, hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS, glycomics, lipidomics, and chemical proteomics. Detailed information and the project application forms can be found at www.bioms.se. BioMS is hosted by Lund University with support fr
The right to leave a country is enshrined in both international human rights law and its European counterpart. It is a right which is independent and does not require the individual exercising it to show that he or she is admissible in some other country. It is exercisable even in the absence of evidence of possible admission to a destination country. However, in Europe (and some other parts of th
The use of cloud computing is increasing in many different areas, and one of these areas is education. As using cloud in education becomes standard in many schools, some ethical concern regarding student information arises. This thesis aims to identify the issues that Swedish schools in the region of Skåne are facing regarding the use of cloud computing. This is achieved by creating a theoretical
For several reinforcement learning models in strategic-form games, convergence to action profiles that are not Nash equilibria may occur with positive probability under certain conditions on the payoff function. In this paper, we explore how an alternative reinforcement learning model, where the strategy of each agent is perturbed by a strategy-dependent perturbation (or mutations) function, may e
Rewetting dry soil induces enormous changes in microbial growth and biogeochemistry. Upon drying-rewetting (D/RW), bacteria have been shown to exhibit two different responses: (1) a more resilient response where bacteria start growing immediately with a quick recovery after rewetting and (2) a less resilient response where there is a pronounced lag-period before bacterial growth starts to increase
A century after its inception, agroecology has entered mainstream development debates as a more sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural modernization of relevance not least for improving smallholder agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Agroecology is a broad concept considered to have transformative potential, yet as a research field it has often been technology-centred and focused at t
The Lund University Urban Arena is organising a workshop on the topic of ‘Urban Visions and Challenges’. During the full-day workshop you will meet a range of eminent speakers representing academia and experts in governance and planning. They will provide us with interesting and challenging presentations, discussions and visions on urban development for sustainability. Key questions will include:

Conflicts between project stakeholders can stop or damage a construction project as well as technical problems. It is not uncommon that projects are stopped or changed late in the process with the effect that large amounts of already made investments becomes obsolete. One explanation of this phenomena is the escalation of project decisions, where project managers persist with a course of actions l
Determining the position of mobile devices is an important business and research area due to the many applications it enables. Outdoors, positioning is often solved by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Indoors however, the signals received from GPS satellites are too weak to provide meaningful position estimates. Therefore, indoor positioning must be done using other techniques, such as trilate
Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
There are two fundamental aspects of the notion of a self: (i) it is the owner of one's experiences, that to which one's experiences are properly attributed, and (ii) it perceives itself. (ii) is a condition on the self's being capable of attributing experiences to itself or being introspectively aware of its experiences, which constitutes a third, higher-order aspect of the self. I claim that it
This dissertation is developed against the background of globalisation and the rise of a new type of instrument used to deal with the accompanying developments. These instruments are designated by the present dissertation as global framework agreements (GFAs). They constitute a written compromise, signed between global union federations and multinational enterprises, setting rights-based minimum s
