Scenisk kör är något som vi har uppmärksammat växer i körvärlden i stort. Tiden när varje kör står i en körbanan med sina pärmar och framför musiken som de har övat in håller på att ändras. Därför har vi som musiklärarstudenter på Musikhögskolan i Malmö genomfört en aktionsforskningsstudie där vi har hållit i tre workshops med kören Bella Voce - Lunds Studentsångerskor där vi har undersökt hur körScenic choir is a growing phenomenon in the choral world at large. Increasingly, choir singers are no longer simply standing still in a formation commonly referred to as a Choir banana, holding their music folder while performing rehearsed music: the times are changing. This reflection has led us, as music teacher students at the Malmö Academy of Music, to conduct an Action Research study aiming t

Olive cultivation has a deep-rooted tradition in the Mediterranean region, with Spain, Greece and Italy currently leading global production. To protect public health and prevent fraud, the trade of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is strictly regulated by EU and IOC quality standards. This thesis presents a comparative quality analysis of six EVOO products from these countries. The study evaluates wh

Although synonymous codons code for the same amino acid, the conformation of the protein can be altered depending on which codon is used. Previous research in the field has provided contradictory results, and it is not yet fully understood how and why the conformation of the protein can change as a result of altered nucleotide sequence. The effect of rare synonymous mutations on ddlB folding has b

This thesis explores how audiences experience and manage their guilty pleasures when listening to “bad” K-pop songs. By employing Goffman’s (1986) concept of stigma and Scambler’s distinction between stigma and deviance as the main analytical lenses, and drawing on other frameworks associated with taste, the study investigates how listeners understand, respond to, and justify their guilty pleasure

Disasters are occurring at an increased rate and with increased intensity. The impacts of a disaster are felt across the whole of society; however, not everyone experiences a disaster in the same way. Pre-existing vulnerabilities and inequalities have a significant influence on the experiences of individuals and communities within disasters. Disasters are not natural; they can be prevented, and th

The protein Painless is an ion channel coupled receptor that is present in the mosquito Aedes aegypti transmitting yellow fever. The protein is activated by noxious heat. It has been a long-term goal to determine the protein structure and consequently be able to develop a mosquito repellant. The aims of the thesis were to purify and isolate heterologously expressed Painless from yeast cells and ex

This ethnographic study takes a phenomenological approach to examining the experiences of urban explorers in Sweden. Data collection took place in Skåne and Stockholm between October 2025 and February 2026, using the qualitative methods of semistructured interviews and participant observation. Urban exploration encompasses a wide range of practices; this thesis centers around its core aspect of vi

This thesis investigates non-intrusive Room Impulse Response (RIR) estimation using music as an excitation signal in an acoustic environment with background noise present. The work studies the structure of room impulse responses, sparse background noise, babble noise, and music excitation signals in the context of RIR estimation. Building on the recently proposed AnyRIR estimator, which explored s

α-CGRP 8-37 is a peptide fragment of calcitonin gene-related peptide and is commonly used as a CGRP antagonist in pharmacological research. CGRP signaling has been discussed in relation to neuroimmune mechanisms in psoriasis, but a practical development of α-CGRP 8-37 requires analytical methods and formulation strategies that can handle peptide instability, adsorption, and matrix effects. The aim

The increasing demand for electric vehicle charging stations creates new challenges for electric grid planning. This thesis proposes a framework for forecasting realistic 24-hour peak load profiles for new direct current fast-charging stations without historical observations. The method combines $K$-means clustering of existing stations’ hourly load patterns and random forest models that predict b

Fingerprint recognition has become a popular authentication method in modern smartphones, replacing traditional passwords and PINs. However, smartphone fingerprint sensors are small and capture only partial fingerprints with limited resolution. Combined with varying image quality and inconsistent finger placement, multiple images must be stored per user to ensure reliable authentication. During ve

This study explores how knowledge, communication, and influence are organized within the consultation reports of the Swedish urban planning practice. The study is based on collaborative planning theory and analyses the extent to which the consultative process is grounded in collaborative or performance- or criteria-driven planning logic. Through a qualitative content analysis of consultation repor

This thesis explores how immersive virtual reality can be designed to support emotional engagement, relaxation, and a sense of connection to nature. Based on experience design and gesture interaction theory, this project developed a VR experience titled "Night Journey". In this experience, users can explore a virtual nature and interact with a responsive ecosystem through natural body ge

This study investigates how varying hyperparameters of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) affects the stability of model explanations produced by SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and Local Interpretable Modelagnostic Explanations (LIME). By using an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifier trained on 11 medical datasets with varying imbalance ratios, four SMOTE parame

Introduction: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a process that occurs often in biological environments, and elastin is a protein that utilizes it to form elastic fibres. Understanding elastin’s LLPS is very helpful for creating new biomaterials and researching diseases, where LLPS occurs. Background: The coacervation of elastin is widely researched, but the combination effects of salt, hea

In 2025, the unauthorized release of four lynx in Scotland sparked widespread media speculation about “guerrilla” rewilding. Drawing on political ecology and environmental justice, this thesis applies a critical discourse analysis to investigate how media outlets framed lynx reintroduction following the unauthorized release. The findings show that media coverage constructs rewilding as contentious
