Automated servo systems are widely used in today’s industry. Therefore, there is high value in improving the reliability and accuracy of these systems and reducing costs. One way to achieve this is to remove the gearbox component, since it typically represents a large fraction of the system’s cost, and it contains many moving parts which will wear and eventually fail. However, removing the gearbox

What happens when open, informal spaces disappear – and specifically, what happens when these spaces disappear in a city that used to be full of them? My project is rooted in two things. The first is the highly debated ”Amazon Tower” in Friedrichshain, and the polarized urban conditions around it. The second is my love for Berlin. Berlin has always been a city in flux. However, the latest round

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how consumers perceive brand-centric entertainment films, as well as how these films influence associations with the brands featured within them. Specifically, the study seeks to identify if and how these films shape or reshape brand meaning from a consumer perspective. Methodology: The study takes a qualitative approach and employs a research desi

This thesis presents a topology optimization framework for anisotropic elastoplastic structures based on the deformation theory of plasticity. Traditional methods often assume linear elasticity and isotropic material behavior, which limits their ability to model real-world materials that exhibit anisotropy and undergo plastic deformation. Although incremental elastoplastic models can accurately ca

Sudan har sedan april 2023 präglats av ett brutalt inbördeskrig mellan Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) och Rapid Support Forces (RSF), vilket resulterat i en statlig kollaps och omfattande civil fördrivning. I detta sammanhang har konfliktrelaterat sexuellt våld (CRSV) blivit särskilt framträdande. Denna uppsats analyserar hur CRSV konstrueras i tre centrala internationella rapporter från FN:s högkommSince April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has triggered the collapse of state institutions and forced the displacement of millions. Amid this humanitarian crisis, conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) has emerged as a defining and deeply troubling feature. This thesis explores how CRSV

Denna studie undersöker hur business controllers uppfattar förändringar i sin yrkesroll i samband med att generativ AI (GenAI) införs i ekonomistyrningen. Syftet är att förstå hur arbetsuppgifter, professionell identitet, attityder till tekniken samt emotionella och organisatoriska förutsättningar påverkas av denna teknologiska omställning. Studien utgår från rollteori, Technology Acceptance Model

Klimatförändringen är en av vår tids stora ödesfrågor med globala mål satta om att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser. Vårt samhälle är idag byggt runt fossila bränslen och transportsektorn är inget undantag. Medan det på personbilsidan skett en utveckling där elbilar idag utgör en växande del av personbilsflottan så har utvecklingen varit trögare för tyngre kommersiella fordon som lastbilar. En av The transport system of the future needs to be separated from the use of fossil fuels and when it comes to freight trucks, the transition to an electric vehicle fleet appears as the main option. This thesis presents a model that estimates the demand of charging infrastructure of truck fleets based on real-world driving patterns. The model builds on the open-source Multi-Agent Transport Simulation

A rapid increase in renewable energy in response to climate change often generates local conflicts. To achieve a just transition to renewable energy, it is crucial to embed justice into its development processes. I examined the case of solar development in Kushiro, Japan. By combining the theories of multispecies justice and procedural justice, this thesis analyzed how local stakeholders perceive

Chiral C3-symmetric molecules are an important class of compounds with applications in asymmetric catalysis and drug discovery. Few synthetic methods exist to synthesize this class of molecules in a step-economic and concise manner. This work explores a range of chemical transformations to functionalize the D3-symmetric (a,e,i)tribenzo(5,6,11,12,17,18) hexadehydro[12]annulene into C3-symmetric pla

Sifting through complex software logs for the root cause of errors can be a daunting and time-consuming task. This thesis explores a novel approach using knowledge graphs and GraphRAG to empower Large Language Models (LLMs) for more efficient and accurate analysis. The methodology involves utilizing log template mining and a CMake-generated file dependency tree to build the knowledge graph, which

This thesis examines how investor nationality influences market reactions in Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs). Using a sample of 146 SEOs from 106 unique firms between 2005 and 2024, we analyze whether foreign investor versus domestic investor participation systematically affects market reactions. Foreign-backed SEOs are initially found to generate less negative abnormal returns than domestic offe

Seminar Date: 2025-06-02 Course: BUSN79, Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Supervisor & Examiner: Diem Nguyen & Reda Moursli Authors: Märta Eklöf & Ebba Svensson Five Key Words: M&A Deal Premium, Aggregate Funding Conditions, Target Operational Performance, Financial Constraints, Bargaining Power Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test whether aggregate funding co

This project explores audio technology, beginning with research into sound and loudspeaker principles. Initial inspiration was drawn from exciter speakers, with an attempt to enhance their audio by incorporating design elements from acoustic instruments. However, this concept was abandoned in favor of developing a functional loudspeaker prototype prioritizing high sound quality and a flat-pack des

This thesis explores how female international students at Lund University engage with social media platforms and perceive the growing presence of AI-generated content. The study aims to understand how past digital experiences- particularly negative ones such as online bullying, judgment, or privacy violations, influence current usage patterns, coping strategies, and interactions with algorithmic s

In this literature review, chaotropic additives in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) were investigated. Due to the usage of CO2 as mobile phase in supercritical fluid chromatography, the technique was assumed to only be appliable to non-polar analytes. Polar modifiers were able extend the range to include polar analytes. Though it’s still insufficient to separate some sets of polar comp

This study investigates how early exposure to maternal mental distress shapes offspring’s long‐ term socioeconomic pathways by leveraging the 1970 British Cohort Study. Maternal distress was measured when the cohort members were aged 5, 10, and 16 years via the 24-item Malaise Inventory. Structural Equation Modeling is employed to estimate (1) the direct effect of maternal malaise on offspring’s a

Gemera Junior is a project developed in collaboration with Koenigsegg. The project focuses on creating a child car seat specifically designed for the Koenigsegg Gemera, a groundbreaking hypercar that uniquely accommodates four passengers. The aim is to extend Koenigsegg’s uncompromising design language, innovation and performance-driven philosophy into a product that allows parents to safely sha
