III-V semiconductor nanowires are high aspect ratio nanostructures with superior properties that can potentially enhance the functionality of next-generation opto-electronic devices. At present, the most reliable method for fabricating III-V semiconductor nanowires is the particle-assisted vapor-liquid-solid growth using a substrate-based growth process. However, a substrate-based process limits t

Can natural resources and climate change positively affect peace? This chapter explores the relationship between natural resources and climate change and the onset of conflict, and flips the coin to understand how they can positively affect peace instead. Borrowing from fresh water cooperation theory and environmental peacemaking, this chapter proposes a similar approach to natural resources and c

This thesis is based on four papers dealing with various aspects of interactions in binary stars. Interactions between stars occur at nearly all stages of their evolution and can take many forms. For example, stars may lose material to a binary companion, merge, interact with groups of other stars in star clusters and explode in binary systems, among other interactions. The first paper in this theThis thesis is based on four papers dealing with various aspects of interactions in binary stars.

This dissertation deals with theoretical descriptions of nuclear fission and synthesis of superheavy elements via fusion. The associated shape evolutions are treated using a random-walk approach where both the potential energy and the nuclear level density influence the dynamics. The dissertation consists of seven original research papers, and an introductory part providing background information

Denna rapport är en del av projektet Innovation och teknologisk förändring på kollektivtrafikens marknader, som är ett gemensamt forskningsprojekt mellan Lunds universitet, VTI, Malmö universitet, Högskolan i Molde (Norge), samt med medverkan från Partnersamverkan för förbättrad kollektivtrafik. Projektet finansieras av K2, Sveriges nationella kunskapscentrum för kollektivtrafik och syftar till at

Barnahus syftar till att förbättra utredningar och samarbete mellan myndigheter när barn misstänks ha varit utsatta för brott som misshandel eller sexuella övergrepp. I Barnahus samverkar olika instanser som socialtjänst, polis, åklagare, barnmedicin, rättsmedicin samt barn- och ungdomspsykiatri i en barnvänlig miljö. I stället för att behöva upprepa sin berättelse för olika tjänstemän på olika plBarnahus in Sweden exist to improve investigations and the collaboration between public agencies when children are suspected being victims of physical and/or sexual abuse. Barnahus are multi-agency collaborations that bring together local authority child welfare services, the police, public prosecutors, paediatric medicine, forensic medicine, and child- and adolescent psychiatry in a child-friendl

Electrical resistivity tomography has potential as a complementary long-term monitoring method in embankment dams; however, the 3D character of the geometry including the shape of the embankment, its internal zoned construction and the reservoir water make interpretation challenging. To tackle this problem, a qualified inversion model considering the 3D environment is necessary. In this paper, pri

Due to the global demographic change many more people will need to work until anolder age, and organisations and enterprises need to implement measures to facilitate an extendedworking life. The aim of this study was to investigate organisational measures and suggestionsto promote and make improvements for a healthy and sustainable working life for all ages in anextended working life. This is a qu
