schíma morphe íchos [shape, form, sound] (SMI) is a reactive performance that brings together sound with visual and physical structures to explore ways of coping with a changing environment. Sculptures made by artist Eleni-Ira Panourgia are digitally augmented by a 9DOF sensing system crafted by Martin Parker. Connected together via a router and sending movement data to sound-generating, ambisonic

Enacting Traces is the debut album by Eleni-Ira Panourgia. A creation developed from original sound recordings of live performances of sculpture making with steel and live electronics. Resulting from a process of recombination and transformation of sounds produced by physical actions on materials, welding and grinding machines, and electronics, this album presents sound as a material trace. Across

This paper considers the beta exponential distribution as a distribution function of inefficacy score in a stochastic frontier model. The beta exponential distribution is a three-parameter distribution, and it is more flexible than commonly used probability density functions in a stochastic frontier model (SFM). This new model, a “Normal-Beta Exponential SFM”, nests another five SFMs. This paper p

The thesis examines how the AI Act’s Article 2(3) security exemption and Article 346 TFEU interact in the context of dual-use AI systems. It argues that this interaction creates legal uncertainty regarding the status of technologies that can serve both civilian and military or security purposes. The AI Act applies to AI systems in the internal market, but excludes those used exclusively for milita

The penal-welfare nexus examines new developments in the relationship between the welfare and penal systems. In this regard, in recent years it has been described a process of penalisation of the welfare system has been described, associated with the adoption of punitive conditionality, a specific type of conditionality system, based on principles of discipline and behavioural control, where the s

This study aimed to examine how professionals describe the factors that motivate young adults to leave a criminal lifestyle. The purpose was also to examine how professionals across different institutions describe how they can support and motivate young adults as they leave crime behind. The method used in this study was six semi-structured interviews with professionals in the social work field wh

In this project I investigate how architecture can give form to an institution that creates the conditions for negotiation between competing narratives. It is situated at Sillhovstomten, the contested site behind the Nationalmuseum in central Stockholm. The failed Nobel Center proposal on this site revealed that it is not an empty void awaiting to be filled, but a place where different political,

This master’s thesis presents the development of an electric cargo vehicle adapted to the urban, infrastructural and socioeconomic conditions of Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project was conducted in collaboration with Eco Delivery, a Bolivian last mile logistics company seeking a sustainable and locally manufacturable transport solution capable of supporting urban delivery operations under demanding c

This study aimed to examine the attitudes of social work students at Lund University towards autism and schizophrenia, with a focus on differences between the two diagnoses and how educational level and prior experience may explain variations in attitudes. The method the study used was a cross-sectional survey design and was conducted at the School of Social Work at Lund University, Sweden. Data w

This qualitative study aims to explore how relatives of individuals with addiction prob- lems experience and manage their sense of responsibility, and how the balance between their own needs and those of the addicted person is renegotiated over time. The empirical data consists of six semi-structured interviews with relatives recruited through the self-help organization Al-Anon. The material was a

This study aimed to examine perceived professional preparedness among social work students in their sixth and seventh semesters at Lund University, and to analyze statistical relationships between field placement supervision, students’ overall experiences of their field placement period, and professional preparedness. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach through a digital survey d

This study aimed to find and explore potential relations between the consumption of news on social media and psychological distress in young adults through the term news-related posts on social media. This quantitative survey study utilized a sample consisting of 337 students aged between 18 and 30 studying in Lund, Sweden. Information concerning daily news-related social media posts consumption a

Moving ahead from the domination of either side of established powers like socialism, capitalism, or all the -isms, another way seems possible. As we know from history, there is a great potential and capacity that lies within civil society that finds creative ways to tackle the problems others have failed to address. The study aimed to explore the strategies that social enterprises apply to reconc

As offshore wind farms continue to grow in scale and number, wake interaction between turbines represents a significant source of power loss and increased fatigue risk. Consequently, there has been an increased interest in wake control strategies. Wake control strategies aim to mitigate these effects but their comparative effectiveness across power, wake velocity and turbulence intensity is not we

As global populations age at an unprecedented rate, cities are increasingly becoming the primary environments where later life unfolds. This thesis explores how urban design can better respond to the everyday needs of older adults, focusing on the concept of ageing in place - the ability to live independently, safely, and meaningfully within one’s own home and neighborhood. While ageing in place i

I och med elektrifieringen av energisektorn ställs höga krav på ökad inhemsk produktion av elektricitet i Sverige. På grund av den nuvarande fördelningen, där en stor del av produktionen sker i norra Sverige medan konsumtionen är koncentrerad till södra delarna av landet, är behovet extra stort i elområde 4 (SE4). Ett län som möter extra stora utmaningar är Skåne där självförsörjningsgraden för elThe current electrification of the energy sector puts high demands on increasing domestic electricity production in Sweden. This issue is enhanced by the current regional imbalance between supply and demand, while a major share of electricity generation is located in northern Sweden, consumption is concentrated in the south. Consequently, the need for new production is particularly great in electr

Wind damage is one of the most economically and ecologically significant natural disturbances in European forests, yet the cloud cover that follows major storms routinely blocks optical satellite acquisitions for weeks, precisely when rapid damage mapping is most valuable. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) circumvents this limitation through all-weather imaging, but pixel-level windthrow detection fr

Gängkriminalitet har i det samtida Sverige blivit en viktig del av den svenska nyhetsrapporteringen, tidigare har dock fokuset huvudsakligen varit på män. Statistik från Brå visar att kvinnor i kriminella nätverk ökat markant de senaste åren, trots detta är forskningen om hur kvinnor framställs i nyhetsrapporteringen begränsad. Detta skapar ett behov att undersöka både hur kvinnorna framställs men

Material traceability is an important part of industrial manufacturing, especially in systems where quality, reliability, and documentation requirements are high. In many companies, traceability is often assumed to already exist because there are certificates, ERP systems, production documents, and established routines. However, during this study, it became clear that having information available

Värmeböljor förväntas bli vanligare och mer intensiva till följd av klimatförändringar vilket ökar behovet av geografiska analyser av värmesårbarhet i urbana miljöer som är särskilt värmeutsatta. Denna studie undersöker hur olika metoder för konstruktion av värmesårbarhetsindex påverkar identifieringen av sårbara områden i Malmö. Två etablerade metoder jämförs: ett additivt, oviktat index och ett Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent and intense because of climate change, increasing the need for geographical analyses of heat vulnerability, particularly in heat-exposed urban environments. This study examines how different methods for constructing heat vulnerability indices affect the identification of vulnerable areas in Malmö. Two established methods are compared: an additive, unw
