Den 1 juli 2025 infördes DNA-baserad släktforskning som ett polisiärt utredningsverktyg i Sverige. Metoden kallas även utredande genetisk genealogi och har hyllats som en ”kriminalteknisk revolution” och beskrivits i termer som ”genombrott”. Att inga uppklarade brott offentliggjorts och inga fällande domar meddelats sedan ikraftträdandet väcker däremot frågor om dess egentliga straffprocessuella b

Med hjälp av laserljus i en kubisk kammare har halten CO2 runt en katalysator studerats. Denna typen av studier är viktiga för att kunna förbättra och effektivisera katalysatorer vilket är väldigt viktigt inom både industri och för miljömål. Använder man laser på det här sättet kan man se hur olika parametrar, så som flöde eller tryck, påverkar effektiviteten av katalysatorn. Andra metoder har int

Våren 2024 röstades ett omdebatterat lagförslag igenom i den svenska riksdagen. Under juli 2025 ersätts lag (1972:119) om fastställande av könstillhörighet i vissa fall – könstillhörighetslagen – med en ny. Den nya lagen reducerar rådande 18-årsgräns för det juridiska könsbytet; 16-åringar ska ges möjlighet att ta beslut i frågan, med vårdnadshavares medgivande. Under det senaste decenniet har f

For patients with end-stage lung diseases, lung transplantation is the only available therapeutic option. However, the number of suitable donor lungs is insufficient and lung transplants are complicated by significant graft failure and complications of immunosuppressive regimens. An alternative to classic organ replacement is desperately needed. Engineering of bioartificial organs using either nat

In China, strict goal-oriented population control has been the reality for Chinese citizens since 1979. According to the Chinese population policy, Chinese citizens are only allowed to give birth to one child, with a few exceptions. The population policy has been strictly monitored by the government and implemented with highly questionable means clearly violating human rights. Ideological educatio

The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a global recession that has had large negative effects on both men and women in the Swedish labor market. We examine how the Swedish strategy of not imposing a lockdown has affected gender-specific labor market outcomes: relative female employment rate and weekly hours worked. To begin with, we study the development of these outcomes in Sweden. Looking at relative f

Det tomma arvet, eller det tomma kulturarvet, har ingen självklar lösning vad gäller dess återaktivering och framtid. I mitt examensarbete undersöker jag om det går att skapa en applicerbar modell för kulturarv, som även med små eller inga medel resulterar i en värdeökning. Med min modell som hypotes inleddes processen med att successivt testa den på ett obrukat kulturarv. Det gamla observatorietAn optimal solution regarding reactivation of an empty cultural heritage does not exist. I am investigating the possibility of creating a model that, with few or no resources, can be applied to an abandoned and empty heritage. I chose to apply my model to the old observatory next to Lund’s city park. It is a 19th century building that has been emptied and in some sense forgotten since the astrono

Using silicon nanowire (NW) arrays for solar energy conversion has gained special interest in the past years especially for their strong light interaction. The application in photocatalysis, however, requires an additional layer of protection for the silicon surface. To that end, silicon NWs with titanium nitride (TiN) coating, which exhibit a much stronger absorption than their uncoated counterpa

Mechanical systems can be modeled by connecting rigid bodies with loads and other components. Prescribed motions and initial values can be defined in a system. The behaviour of the rigid bodies can then be studied and their motions can be computed. If a body is elastic the motion of some defined points are not identical to a rigid body when loads are affected. To model a mechanical system the dyna

Investigating the discourse around development aid and cooperation yields insights into development policy choices and their public legitimisation and justification because of the recognised opinion-forming effect that public information, especially media, has on the public. Hence, public development discourse informs and shapes how ordinary people make sense of development issues and the perceive
