On February 24th 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Since then Ukraine has reported damage to more than 1000 sites of cultural importance. There are plenty of studies which map out the destruction of culture in war, however there is still no clear understanding of exactly why cultural heritage is under attack - what the motives are for targeting cultural heritage in conflicts. I therefore deemed it int
Illegal waste trafficking is today one of the most profitable illegal activities in the world. About 25 % of all global waste transports are estimated to be illegal and they are increasing. The same applies to plastics; the production of plastics is increasing and so is the illegal shipment of plastic waste. Due to the often- harmful substances in plastics, when plastic waste is not taken care of
The goal of this project is the design of the magnetic field of the neutron analyser for the European Spallation Source instrument DREAM (Diffraction Resolved by Energy and Angle Measurements). This instrument is a neutron diffractometer and its purpose is the determination of the magnetic and chemical structure of materials. Simulations have been performed over the span of a semester using the Fi
Bakgrund: Stress är en fysiologisk reaktion skapad av kroppen som en försvarsmekanism för överlevnad och är inte skadlig i sig, men som utan återhämtning kan leda till skador på kroppen, såsom utveckling av hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Forskning har visat att fysisk aktivitet kan minska stress och leda till ett ökat välbefinnande. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om fysioterapeutstudenter använ
Globalisering och ökad kapitalrörlighet har förändrat villkoren för nationell skattepolitik. När multinationella företag kan fördela verksamhet och vinster mellan jurisdiktioner uppstår ett konkurrenstryck där stater, för att behålla investeringar och skattebaser, pressas att sänka bolagsbeskattningen. Denna utveckling brukar beskrivas som en kapplöpning mot botten. För att återta kontrollen över Globalization and the increasing mobility of capital have historically altered the conditions for national tax policy. In an integrated global economy where multinational enterprises can strategically allocate profits and functions, states have been driven into intense tax competition, often characterized as a "race to the bottom”. To restore fiscal control, the OECD, has introduced the GloBE
This thesis investigates the extent to which literature search and summarisation in clinical pharmacology can be partially automated by utilising a locally deployed Large Language Model (LLM) coupled with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) component, designed as a free-text clinical decision support tool for medi- cal experts. The thesis aims to develop a prototype system consisting of a local
Isolating fragile and heterogeneous cell populations from complex tissues remains a core challenge in biomedical research. In the bone marrow (BM), bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) are key regulators of hematopoiesis and metabolism, yet their large size, fragility, and lack of specific surface markers have hindered their isolation using conventional methods such as fluorescence-activated cell sortin
Forskningsfråga: Förekommer en riskjusterad avkastning för traditionella respektive nya syndaktier i utvecklade europeiska länder, relativt deras jämförelseportföljer, under perioden 2006-2024? Syfte: Studien analyserar huruvida det förekommer en riskjusterad avkastning för traditionella respektive nya syndaktier i utvecklade europeiska länder under perioden 2006 till 2024. Metod: Studien bygger
The deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectral region, from 200-400 nm, can reveal unique information about biological samples, where proteins and biomolecules exhibit distinct spectral signatures in this wavelength region. However, because of technical limitations, the absence of stable DUV light sources has left the research in this spectral range largely unexplored. Recent advancements in laser-driven pla
Swedish municipalities play a key role in identifying essential services and critical infrastructures at the local level. However, there seems to be a lack of systematism to the current identification process. Since the identified essential services and infrastructures are input data for further analyses, the lack of systematism has far-reaching effects. The study is intended to examine the curren
Inside the human body, cells produce long sugar chains called glycosaminoglycans, or named shortly as GAGs, these sugars play an important role in our body since they are involved in important biological processes such as blood coagulation, being components in our cartilage, and the new development of tissues. Changes in these sugars is associated with several diseases such as in some kinds of can
The Standard Model does not predict the quantization of electric charge, and thus does not explicitly demand the electric neutrality of the neutron. This charge has previously been measured to an upper limit of ∼ 1 × 10^−21 elementary charges in a 1988 joint experiment between the University of Bayreuth and Institut Laue-Langevin [1]. A new experiment proposed for the HIBEAM beamline at the ESS is
The thesis assesses the role of grassroots organisations in climate action through sustainable food practices, focusing on social innovation, collective learning, community-building and local resilience inside the city of Lund, in the Skåne region of southern Sweden. It intends to understand how local groups, combining practical knowledge with community-based innovations, collaborate to build a cu
Reliable six-degree-of-freedom pose estimation is a key requirement for autonomous on-orbit servicing (OOS), in which a robotic spacecraft performs tasks such as inspection, maintenance, and life extension of other satellites in orbit. However, generating trustworthy ground truth for algorithm development remains challenging. This thesis investigates calibration, sensor evaluation, and sensor fusi
The aim of this project is to discuss how designers can contribute to gender equality and female empowerment in craft-production industry. The study was done as a collaboration with the Indian organization Industree to study methods designers can use to assure that the economic/social balance in the value chain is fair. The organization works with craft-production as a means of generating income a
För att åstadkomma ett cirkulärt materialhanteringssystem och minska växthusgasutsläppen är materialåtervinning en avgörande faktor. Bygg- och anläggningsbranschen står för runt 20 % av Europas plastanvändning och plast är det vanligaste materialet för tillverkning av rör för vatten och avlopp (VA). Det här examensarbetet syftar till att analysera förutsättningarna för ökad användning av VA-rör avTo achieve a circular material management system and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, material recycling is a crucial factor. The construction and civil engineering sectors together account for 20 % of Europe’s plastic consumption, and plastic is the most common material used in the manufacturing of water and wastewater pipes. This master’s thesis aims to analyse the possibilities for increased us
Eutrophication, caused by excessive accumulation of key nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in water, is a major environmental problem that significantly affects water quality and aquatic ecosystems. This thesis project aims to evaluate different adsorption-based treatment methods that can effectively reduce the nutrient content of water. Water samples were collected from various water sourc
Spider silk is a highly attractive biomaterial with exceptional strength and versatility, offering potential applications across numerous industries. However, large-scale production remains a significant challenge. Harvesting silk directly from spiders has proven impractical, making recombinant protein production a promising alternative. Spider silk has been studied at Lund University for several
