The demand for rare earth elements (REE) has increased with the growing need for technologies used in renewable energy. At the same time, the establishment of mining projects can generate conflicts between economic and technological interests and local environmental values. This study focuses on the proposed mining project at Norra Kärr in Jönköping County, one of the most significant potential de
The pebble accretion scenario has been proposed as an alternative to the classical theory of planet formation via planetesimal core accretion. In this alternative scenario, once the rocky cores of planets exceed a certain threshold, the mass evolution of planetary embryos are thought to be driven through the accretion of small aggregates of dust grains, which form in the protoplanetary disk, calle
Gas flaring is, apart from wasted energy, a source of greenhouse gases and air pollution associated with oil extraction activities. Despite this, small flares are often not included in existing global flaring inventories due to limitations in current detection methods. This study investigated whether satellite derived remote sensing data can be used to detect small gas flares in the Ecuadorian Ama
Detta arbete undersöker de mentala och gehörsmässiga processernas dess roll i instuderingsprocesser. Gehörsmetoden som undersöktes var gestaltning med sång. Denna metod kallar jag för vokalisering. Två enklare fiolstycken av Telemann studerades in med en systematisk och reproducerbar övningsmetod – det första med konventionell instrumentövning, och det andra endast med vokalisering. Utvärderingen
Plastic pollution in the natural environment is a growing concern, and due to its limited biodegradability, it continues to accumulate. Over time, plastics naturally break down into micro- and nanoplastics, which can be inhaled and ingested by humans. A significant share of these particles is a result of tire abrasion. These particles have been found in several human tissues, but knowledge of thei
Artificial intelligence (AI) was increasingly used in municipal organisations as part of broader digitalisation and efficiency efforts. The study aimed to examine how unit managers and digitalisation or IT officers described the implementation and use of AI-related tools in social work within the Labour Market Administration and the Health- and Social Care Administration in a large municipality in
This thesis examines the strategic trade-off between internal innovation and external capability acquisition in the software sector. Software firms operate in markets where innovation speed, scalability, and product-market timing are central to competitiveness, making the choice between developing capabilities internally and acquiring them externally particularly relevant. Prior research on so
Today, airports often prioritise logistics and passenger flow over hospitality, leaving travellers without suitable spaces in which they can rest during long journeys. This thesis aims to address this issue by developing a furniture concept that offers passengers a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Five research methods were used to provide input for the design: qualitative interviews, a quan
This thesis explores how music students and aspiring cultural and creative workers from Southern Italy perceive and negotiate Italian regional inequalities through educational mobility towards Centre-Northern regions. The aim of the present study is to delve deeply into the ways Italian regional disparities shape students’ decisions to move, their experiences within music higher education and thei
The concept of 'genocide' is rarely employed by prehistoric archaeologists within their research. The hesitation of scholars to use the term is argued to be due to its overall complexity and its supposed existence as a recent phenomenon of modernity, as well as its rash use in popular science outlets when reporting on prehistoric migration. Examining and comparing prehistoric massacres wit
This study aimed to examine the role of education in shaping social work students’ knowledge of and perspectives on homelessness, as well as how they perceive and relate to the subject as a social phenomenon. This study is based on a qualitative approach with six students in their final semester of the social work program at Lund University. The theoretical framework used is social constructivism
This paper aims to examine the role of tourist knowledge production in reproducing and legitimizing ideologies that serve as foundational for industrial colonialism in the Julevädno rivers upper course. The aim of this thesis is to approach a deeper understanding of how expressions of speech representing colonial ideologies can persist long after they've been uttered. This is done through a po
The long-standing problem of domestic violence in South and Southeast Asia, and the fact that most victims are women, may be due to the emphasis on male dominance and the deep-rooted traditional gender roles. Previous studies have found that domestic violence can have many negative effects on the physical and mental health of women and their children. Attitudes towards domestic violence are relate
Generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes improve the error-correction capability of conventional low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by replacing single parity-check (SPC) constraints with more powerful component codes. However, stronger local constraints introduce additional redundancy and may reduce the overall code rate. This thesis investigates how the rate of Hamming-based GLDPC c
White sesame seeds that are produced in Humera, Tigray, are good sources of protein, fat, energy, fiber, and minerals, such as iron, calcium, and zinc. However, they contain high levels of phytic and oxalic acid. Soaking, dehulling, roasting, and fermenting proved to be promising processing methods to lower the phytic acid of sesame seed flour, thereby increasing bioavailability of essential miner
The quantification of microstructural features is essential in materials science, as the microstructure can be linked with the mechanical performance of the material. Gray cast iron (GCI) is a type of cast iron used mainly for its excellent machinability and vibration damping, along with high compressive strength and good thermal conductivity. GCI is characterized by graphite flakes dispersed in a
Interest in violence and graphic content is traditionally explained in relation to media effects concerns, desensitization, or individual psychological attraction. This thesis approaches the interest from a different angle, focusing instead on the morbid nature of such curiosity by exploring how engagement with crime narratives is collectively organized within Swedish digital true crime podcast co
This thesis compares the entrepreneurial contexts of Lund, Sweden, and Toronto, Canada to examine whether Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), a non-profit accelerator founded in Toronto, would fit within Lund's ecosystem. Two research questions are addressed: what similarities and differences exist between the entrepreneurial contexts of Lund and Toronto, and how a CDL site would mesh with Lund
As the climate crisis intensifies, climate adaptation becomes increasingly urgent and necessary. This holds especially true for Small Island Developing States, who, despite bearing little responsibility in creating the problem, are uniquely vulnerable to slow onset and extreme weather events. To address climate impacts in developing countries, the international community has set up pathways to hel
Orala läkemedelsformuleringar kompliceras av aktiva ingredienser med låg vattenlöslighet. För att förbättra biotillgängligheten av dessa kan självemulgerande nanoemulsioner (SNEDDS) an-vändas. Dessa bildar spontant mikroemulsioner i nano skala vid kontakt med vatten vilket tillå-ter de små dropparna med olja innehållande det lösta läkemedlet att absorberas av tarmen. Denna masteruppsats ämnar undePoor aqueous solubility can be a major challenge for oral delivery of some active pharmaceu-tical ingredients. Self-nano-emulsifying-drug-delivery-systems (SNEDDS) can improve the bioavailability of lipophilic compounds by forming fine droplets of oil in water that can be ab-sorbed through the gastrointestinal walls. This thesis investigates the potential of using a porous form of starch micropart
