Due to climate change, cocoa harvests have decreased yearly, leading to increased scarcity and rising market prices of cocoa butter. At the same time, cocoa butter is a key ingredient in chocolate, responsible for its unique melting properties. Thus, there is a growing interest in producing fats with similar characteristics, so called cocoa butter equivalents. Cocoa butter equivalents consist of s
Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems have become central components of contemporary healthcare digitalization and are often associated with large-scale organizational change. Previous research on EHR implementation has primarily focused on systems that have already been implemented or are in active use, while less attention has been directed toward how healthcare professionals make sense of anti
This study explores how newly graduated employees experience assigned mentorship in relation to other workplace support during their transition from higher education into professional roles. Drawing on organizational socialization, mentorship, and developmental network perspectives, the study examines how support is navigated, assessed and used during organizational entry. The study adopts a qual
Inspired by the experimental work performed in the research group led by Ville Maisi at Lund University, this thesis investigates a hybrid quantum setup in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED). The system consists of a microwave resonator coupled to a double quantum dot (DQD) acting as an internal sensor to indirectly detect the state of an external quantum system. Using input-output theory and
The rapid public adoption of large language models (LLMs) has transformed written communication and creative production, while simultaneously creating growing concerns regarding authenticity, misinformation, and the preservation of human authorship. As AI-generated literary content becomes increasingly sophisticated, the ability to reliably distinguish machine-generated prose from authentic human
Detta examensarbete behandlar utmattningsbedömning av åtdragningsbultar i packningsförsedda plattvärmeväxlare, med särskilt fokus på skillnaden mellan konservativa kodbaserade livslängdsprognoser och den långa livslängd som observerats i praktiken. Arbetet behandlar två utmattningsbidrag: högcyklisk driftbelastning och monteringsbelastning med större amplitud. För driftbelastningen undersöks om deThis thesis investigates fatigue assessment of tightening bolts in gasketed plate heat exchangers, with particular focus on the discrepancy between conservative code-based predictions and the long service lives observed in practice. The work addresses two fatigue contributions: high-cycle operational loading and larger-amplitude assembly loading. For the operational loading, the study examines whe
The IPCC’s Illustrative Mitigation Pathways achieving below 2°C of global warming increasingly rely on Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACCS). Research has largely concentrated on techno-economic aspects, while community perspectives have been almost exclusively focused on in the Global North. This thesis presents the first empirical case study of a commercial DACCS facility in Africa. Drawing on
Introduction: Urocanate reductases (UrdA) are enzymes in the gut microbiota that catalyse the production of imidazole propionate (ImP), which is implicated in diseases like type 2 diabetes, and therefore it is of medical interest to co-crystallize the protein with new potential ligands in order to develop inhibitors, which can be used to lower the ImP concentration in the blood. Background: Sever
Denna studie undersöker vilka motiv Lunds kommun framhåller bakom beslutet att anlägga spårvägen i Lund samt hur spårvägen framställs i relation till hållbar stadsutveckling och utvecklingen av stadsdelen Brunnshög. Syftet är att se hur planering av storskaliga infrastrukturprojekt kan ses som en bidragande faktor till attraktionskraft och identitet samt ur ett tillgänglighets- och rättviseperspekThis study examines the motives put forward by the Municipality of Lund behind the decision to construct the tramway in Lund. Framed in relation to sustainable urban development and the emergence of the Brunnshög district, the purpose of this project is to understand how the planning of large-scale infrastructure projects can be analyzed through perspectives of accessibility and justice, as well a
Denna studie syftar till att förstå vilken inverkan gentrifiering kan ha på tillgången till det offentliga rummet, och till att förstå om tillgängligheten skiljer sig mellan socioekonomiska grupper eller stadier av gentrifiering. Studien fokuserar på Vesterbro, Köpenhamn, och utgår från tre offentliga rum. Platserna Maria Kirkeplads, Halmtorvet och Flæsketorvet studerades med hjälp av observationeThis study aims to understand the impact gentrification might have on the access to public space, and to understand if it differs between socioeconomic groups or stages of gentrification. The study focuses on Vesterbro, Copenhagen, where three public spaces were chosen for the research. Maria Kirkeplads, Halmtorvet and Flæsketorvet, were studied through observations, document analysis and mapping.
This thesis asks how the application of financial materiality within the European Sustainability Reporting Standards’ (ESRS) Double Materiality Assessment is characterised when applied to a non-profit European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). It pursues this question through a reflexive single-case study of the European Spallation Source (ESS), conducted in parallel with an impact-materi
This study examines how the City Library in Lund functions as a form of social infrastructure and crucial urban public space. This is realized by way of a triangulation approach through the examination of two municipal documents which dictate the programming of the library, an interview with a seasoned librarian, and several semi-structured observations at the site itself. The study is grounded bo
In 2003, the United Kingdom decided to participate in the invasion of Iraq based on the intelligence reports that Saddam Hussein had breached the UN resolutions banning the country from developing weapons of mass destruction. In hindsight, the intelligence reports and dossiers leading up to the involvement of UK troops in Iraq have been heavily criticised for being based on false information and o
Over the past decade, Swedish primary care has seen a substantial increase in the establishment of private actors. As the sector changes in composition, it becomes relevant to examine the influence on the functioning of the system, as well as on patients’ experience and right to healthcare. This thesis examines the relationship between the entry of new private clinics and quality of the nearest pu
This thesis studies first-order phase-transition dynamics and the associated stochastic gravitational-wave background in classically conformal B − L-like extensions of the Standard Model. The scalar and gauge sectors are formulated at tree level and at one-loop order using a modified on-shell renormalization prescription designed to keep the vacuum structure fixed while allowing the tree-level fla
Denna studie undersöker hur de svenska politiska riksdagspartierna Moderaterna och Socialdemokraterna anpassar sig till TikToks plattformslogik, samt hur populärkulturella referenser och humor kan förstås som ideologiska verktyg inom ramen för politainment. Studien har analyserat 20 strategiskt utvalda TikTok-videor från vardera partis officiella TikTok-konton, publicerade i april och maj 2026. En
Modern cloud-based machine learning (ML) services raise significant privacy concerns, as users must share potentially sensitive data with service providers. Private Decision Tree Evaluation (PDTE) addresses this by allowing encrypted queries to be evaluated against a model without revealing either party’s data, typically using Homomorphic Encryption (HE). While existing HE-based frameworks have de
This thesis analyses the emergence of judicial tax litigation in Peru as a differentiated professional practice among tax lawyers. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and documentary review, the research reconstructs the process through which certain high-value tax disputes, initially channelled through administrative venues, gradually moved into the Judiciary. The central argument is that this
This paper examines how institutional vulnerabilities are reproduced, institutionalised, and solidified through the translation of legal norms within Japan’s new admission policy, the Employment for Skill Development (ESD) system. Japan has de facto accepted foreign workers for over three decades by granting various residence statuses to address its declining birthrate and labour shortage. However
This study examines how psychological contract violations (PCV) affect organizational identification (OID) in the context of reconstructing strategic change, specifically acquisitions. While existing literature has established the relationship between psychological contract breach (PCB) and OID, the emotional dimension of violation remains relatively unexplored. Drawing on a qualitative, abductive
