We know now that discs of gas and dust, so-called protoplanetary discs, form planets as side-products of the naturally occurring star formation process throughout the Milky Way. Young, growing planets in such discs are commonly referred to as protoplanets. In about 10\% of the so-far observed stars, this planet formation process leads to the occurrence of giant planets, such as Saturn, Jupiter, or
Stormwater runoffs have increasingly become a significant issue in urban infrastructure design and environmental management due to problems related to flooding, freshwater stress, and pollutant loading to receiving water bodies. This project investigated the lab-scale performance of silicon carbide (SiC) MF membranes in treating stormwater runoffs from the Värpinge wetland in the western part of t
In Sweden, climate projections indicate longer growing seasons with more frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and heavy rainfall, posing significant challenges to existing crop systems. Simultaneously, the sector is under growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, especially in response to agricultural nutrients runoff contributing to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.
GROWTH. reconsiders the notion of growth in architecture, not as a process of continuous expansion, but as a cyclical condition of emergence, stabilization, decay, and regeneration observed in natural ecosystems. Positioned between regenerative agriculture, computational design, and material-driven architectural practice, the thesis investigates how the growth cycles of biotic materials can become
This thesis examines how audience responses to the trans character Player 120 in Squid Game Season 2 are constructed within mainstream celebratory online spaces in a Mexican context. Following the release of the series, the character generated an unusually positive reaction across social media platforms, where she was widely praised and described as an example of “good” inclusion. In a context whe
Komplexa, fragmenterade och temporära projekt med flera underentreprenörer (UE) som arbetar parallellt och i olika led är någonting byggbranschen präglas av. Vilket leder till komplicerade arbetsplatsproblem när flera aktörer ofta med olika bakgrund, förmågor och arbetsmiljösystem arbetar på samma plats. Detta kan öka risken för otydlig ansvarsfördelning och bristande samordning samt försvåra kont
In supplier sustainability management today there is a gap between the volume of compliance work that stricter EU regulation imposes on companies and the manual methods available to handle it. The consequence is that gap analyses between a buyer's Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC) and the documents provided by suppliers are postponed or left undone, leading to long lead times and bottlenecks in
Pollen-based quantitative vegetation reconstructions using multiple sedimentary basins from the same area, along with their quantified relevant pollen source areas, are a powerful means to study how long-term human impact has affected vegetation and shaped the currently protected heritage landscapes at different spatial scales. Our study presents the outcome of a palynological investigation in Kar
Current food systems pose one of the greatest health and environmental challenges of the21st century. A systemic shift in the food sector can be accelerated by technologies and innovations,such as seaweed food applications. However, introducing and expanding seaweed as a food resourceinto Western markets comes with several challenges.These challenges include its microbial, chemical, and sensory qu
The success of social movements is highly dependent on their sustainability, as in their efforts to produce meaningful change, they inevitably encounter oppressive dominant forces. With the advent of the social media era, scholarly research on collective action has acquired an additional dimension, bringing the role of their communicative constitution to the forefront of discussions. However, a de
Signs of Flesh: Institution and Body in Accounts of Paranoia (Notes on Schreber and Fabian) As the call for paper to this conference aptly states, phenomenology holds that "[c]onsciousness [is] dependent on a body and a world, which bestow it with existence and meaning." My take on this phenomenologist axiom would be to suggest a complementary thesis, something like: "The world (understood as the
The enzyme ferrochelatase (EC 4.99.1.1) is the terminal enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of heme b and catalyzes the insertion of Fe(II) into protoporphyrin IX. In this dissertation ferrochelatase from Bacillus subtilis was studied. A new purification method via inclusion bodies was developed that enabled simple purification of recombinant enzyme without tags or modifications that might affect t
Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the most important parameters for clothing comfort. The clothing evaporation resistance can be measured on a sweating guarded hotplate, a sweating thermal manikin or a human subject. The sweating thermal manikin gives the most accurate value on evaporative resistance of the whole garment ensemble compared to the other two methods. The determination of clot
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nästa år är det 400 år sedan Galileo Galilei för första gången riktade ett teleskop mot objekt på himlen. Allt sedan dess har teleskopet varit det viktigaste instrumentet för astronomins utveckling och med dess hjälp har vår kunskap om universum revolutionerats. Tack vare utvecklingen av teleskopet under dessa århundraden har allt ljussvagare objekt kunnat studeras, ochThis thesis presents the work on the design of, construction of, and finally observations with, an experimental setup comprising a small telescope equipped with adaptive optics. The facility has been assembled at Lund Observatory, where also observations on the sky have been made. The aim of this project was to gain hands-on knowledge in the development of a real adaptive optics system and eventua
Tubes fabricated from dilute Zr-alloys serve as miniature pressure vessels in Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors and are subjected to stress, aqueous corrosion and intense irradiation during service. Hydrogen evolved during the corrosion reaction may enter into the material and precipitate as hydride phase, which acquire platelet shaped morphology in Zr-alloys and are known to embrittle the host mat
The reactivity of the phosphine-thioether ligands bis(2-diphenylphosphino) ethylthio)ethane (PSSP), bis(2-(diphenylphosphino) ethyl)sulfane (PSP), PPh2CH2CH2SMe (PS), PPh2(o-C6H4SMe (PortoS), and PPh(o-C6H4SMe)2 (PSS) towards low-valent carbonyl clusters has been studied. In all structurally characterized clusters, the ligand donor atoms are terminally coordinated. The phosphine-thioether ligands
The monoamines, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and histamine, play a critical role in the function of the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis and in the integration of information in sensory, limbic, and motor systems. The primary mechanism for termination of monoaminergic neurotransmission is through reuptake of released neurotransmitter by Na+,CI-dependent plasma membrane tran
This chapter investigates how the challenging questions and tensions caused by migrants and their universalist claims for inclusion, have been approached and resolved in liberal democracies. By regarding the development of populism as a real and dangerous political phenomenon that has a significant traction, the chapter asks whether populism adds something new to this approach and resolution. More
Sediment transport in the cross-shore (CS) and associated changes in the beach profile, especially during storms, have been topics of widespread concern. Since storms are often accompanied by high water levels and large waves, large quantities of sand from the beach and the dune are typically transported offshore, leading to severe beach and dune erosion, which threatens the integrity of buildings
