This thesis investigates the effects of monetary policy on investments by venture capital firms. Modeling central banks’ interest rates and various macroeconomic variables on venture capital investments, we find a statistically significant relationship whereby expansive monetary policy is correlated with more investment in startups by venture capital. The panel data models use data from 2000 to 20

Brandskyddet på en operationsavdelning vid Skånes Universitetssjukhus i Lund ska utvärderas med fokus på personsäkerhet för att bedöma om brandskyddet är tillräckligt eller om det behöver göras åtgärder. Ett studiebesök genomfördes där utformning av lokalen studerades samt personal intervjuades om hur brandskyddet fungerar på plats. Ett antal möjliga värsta troliga scenarion identifierades och utThe fire protection of an operating ward at Skånes Universitetssjukhus in Lund is to be evaluated with focus on the safe evacuation of people inside, with the purpose of estimating if it is satisfying or if improvements are needed.

Inom det psykodynamiska fältet har det länge funnits en teoretisk medvetenhet om att avslutet i psykoterapi ofta väcker starka känslomässiga reaktioner hos patienter. Symtomökning vid avslut har förståtts som en naturlig och övergående reaktion på den stundande separationen. I studier har symtomökningen visats vara vanligare i psykodynamisk terapi och vara övergående med återhämtning efter avslutaWithin the psychodynamic field, there has long been a theoretical awareness that termination in psychotherapy often evokes strong emotional reactions in patients. Increased symptoms at termination have been understood as a natural and transient reaction to the impending separation. Studies have shown symptom exacerbation to be more common in psychodynamic therapy and to be transient with recovery

Matsvinn är ett stort samhällsproblem. Om förpackningen inte håller den nivå av kvalitet som krävs så slängs den under produktionen, tillsammans med det livsmedel den skulle skydda. Vissa förpackningar har korkar, som hjälper till att återsluta förpackningen. Om plasten i korken har fel egenskaper uppstår det ibland problem i produktionen. Detta projekt har tagit fram två sätt att undersöka plasteFood packages preserve foodstuff during storage. Some packages have caps, some of which have internal pull rings for easy removal of a membrane that extend the shelf life. The pull-rings are injection molded directly onto the package in the filling machine at the customer site. Any defect in the pull ring causes filled packages to be discarded at a significant cost to the supply chain. Some batche

Lantmännen Cerealia i Malmö utför provbak av bröd som ett led i deras kvalitetskontroll av ett malet mjöl. Nuvarande metod med provbakning av bröd på Lantmännen innehåller ister. Det är en kvarleva från förr då det var ett vanligt fett att använda till bakning. Det stämmer dock dåligt överens med hur det ser ut i bagerierna som idag använder framförallt rapsolja som fett i bakningen. KvalitetsavdeAs part of their ground flour quality control, Lantmännen Cerealia in Malmö bakes bread for testing purposes. Lantmännen's current bread baking process involves the use of lard. This is a relic from the past when it was a common fat for baking. However, it does not agree with how it looks in bakeries, which today mainly use rapeseed oil as fat in baking. The quality department at Lantmännen is

Due to various political and economic crises around the world, the displacement of large populations has constituted one of the most important contemporary social problems; causing social tensions and conflicts between the “newcomers” (Them) and the local community (Us). In this context, media has played an important role in the construction of narratives that, in most cases, present immigrants in

Algae blooms, induced by eutrophication, have been an increasingly prevalent environmental concern in the Baltic Sea since the 1970s, causing ecosystem degradation and hypoxia in bottom layers. One predominant harmful algae bloom-forming species in the Baltic Sea is the cyanobacteria Nodularia spumigena. N. spumigena produces hepatotoxin nodularin and is a diazotrophic alga; hence, it should be

Vatten, en väsentlig beståndsdel av livet, riskerar i allt högre grad att förändras negativt av olika problem, inklusive klimatförändringar, vilket påverkar dess kvalitet. En av förändringarna i vattenkvaliteten är brunifiering, vilket innebär vatten med en brunare färg. En gulbrun färg på vatten i en sjö eller på en vattenyta kan störa behandlingsprocessen i vattenverk och minska vattnets estetisWater, an essential element of life, is recently impacted by several issues, including climate change, affecting its quality. One of the changes in water quality is brownification, which results in water with a browner color. This yellow-brown color of water in a lake or any water surface can disrupt the treatment process and the aesthetics of the water body, thus increasing costs in the long run.

Brain Computer Interfacing is a sprawling scientific field, with many competing designs in use or being tested. The goal of this project was to compile information about Utah Arrays, Michigan Probes, Neural Lace (also known as Mesh Electronics), Neuralink and Stentrode, and compare the positives and negatives of each design. Of especial interest were the parameters of material, number of electrode

There is uncertainty about whether AI-generated output can and should be protected under EU copyright law and, in that case, who should obtain the rights. This thesis examines this legal issue by interpreting the legal text especially the InfoSoc Directive, case law and by considering legal scholarships. It has been established in the thesis that an AI-generated output can be considered protectabl

Denna studie har gjorts på blåmusslor Mytilus edulis trossulus, för att undersöka hur blåmusslorna påverkats av tjockoljan efter oljeläckaget från färjan Marco Polo. Studien undersökte tjockoljans påverkan på blåmusslans fysiologi och beteende. Blåmusslan är en av Östersjöns nyckelarter och fungerar som en indikatorart för Östersjöns föroreningar, och var därför lämplig att använda i detta experimThis study was conducted on blue mussels, Mytilus edulis trossulus, to investigate how the blue mussels have been affected by the bunker oil following the oil spill from the ferry Marco Polo. The study will examine the impact of bunker oil on the physiology and behavior of the blue mussel. The blue mussel is one of the key species in the Baltic Sea and serves as an indicator species, making it sui
