The telecom industry falls among one of the most progressive markets that operates at the level of advanced technologies and has the fastest rate of growth all over the world, including from the perspective of 5G technology, the integration of digital products, and the constant increase in demand for broadband internet. In such a competitive environment, customer attrition has been known to be a m
Children witnessing domestic violence is a major social issue where many children lack protection. Previous research indicates that children who witness domestic violence have a hard time talking about the violence as it is considered a private matter. The current research highlights that social services experience shortcomings in their work with the target group and that many children who witness
Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. To conduct studies on the brain outside of the body, one can culture neural cells in the lab. However, to accura
With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat.Hf reactions during th
This thesis examines the lack of reliable data and the comprehensive understanding regarding lethal violence in Sweden, especially when taking into consideration the hightened media focus on lethal shootings. This thesis aims to solve that by adding more nuance to the public knowledge, both regarding the good and the bad. By utilizing high-quality cause-of-death registry data from the Swedish Nati
During the production of Tetra Pak’s packaging material, holes are cut for straws and caps, generating paperboard scraps known as confetti. These scraps must be removed from the machinery to prevent build-up and potential blockages. To design efficient extraction systems, experiments and simulations are employed to understand the phenomena of confetti transport. Confetti are introduced into a simp
To properly understand regions of space behind interstellar dust, like the Galactic bulge, infrared (IR) observations are needed, as it passes through the dust with minimal absorption. In the past few decades, the development of IR telescopes has allowed for a much deeper understanding of our Galaxy’s stellar populations and history. To properly use the data which these IR telescopes produce howev
With the acceleration of climate change and biodiversity loss in recent years, the neoliberal economic response to environmental challenges has been to integrate nature into market mechanisms, hoping to account for ecological degradation while funding nature conservation and restoration. This study critically examines the resulting financialisation of conservation, focussing on Scotland in particu
This paper examines what effect recent minimum wage increases have had on poverty rates in U.S. states. In the past fifteen years, some states have experienced substantial minimum wage increases while others have seen smaller increases or no changes at all. First, we review some theoretical arguments for and against increases in the minimum wage, discussing its potential effects on unemployment an
The aim with this project was to improve the workspace of activity based offices. In the aftermath of Covid-19, people working remote gave companies the possibility to create smaller offices with shared spaces. This removed the customizable workspace for the employees as they found themselves trying to find a new desk each day which suits them, and there for creating a hostile environment with no
Dark matter is the problem of apparent missing mass in the universe, a discrepancy between observations of large-scale astronomical dynamics, and the observed matter density in large scale structures. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed experiment to probe the realm of “light dark matter" in the mass range MeV to GeV. Light dark matter refers to a class of models where a new
The diffusion equation is a partial differential equation that describes how quantities such as heat, particles, or other diffusive substances spread out over time and space. This type of equation can be, at often times, quite challenging to solve analytically. Finding the exact solution is often difficult due to the com- plexity of the functions involved. This thesis focuses on solving the diffus
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to find out what pharmaceutical companies are doing in exploitation and exploration to improve R&D productivity. This research will also investigate the implications of management and control theories in combining exploration and exploitation in the context of pharmaceutical R&D. Methodology: Multiple case study interviews. Theoretical perspective
Bakgrunden till detta arbete kom jag i kontakt med då jag under en längre period haft problem med skakningar under konserter. Skakningarna uppstår ofta när jag ska spela någon passage som är extra knepig och krävande eller när jag känner mig kall och ouppvärmd. Jag har tidigare provat metoder för att aktivera kroppen innan man ska spela för att det inte ska uppstå men det problem som kvarstår är aI came into contact with the background of this thesis because I had been struggling with shaking during performances. The shakes would often occur in a difficult passage or when that my hands were cold. I’ve previously tried methods to activate my body before a preformance to try to reduce the amount of shaking but what I’ve encountered is that it often tends to get worse as the concert goes alon
This paper focuses on the Danish ecovillage by the name of Svanholm, with a special attention to how different areas of sustainability is being understood and carried out in practice in the ecovillage. Through a long-term fieldwork and anthropological methods herein, the paper seeks to understand Svanholm with all its possibilities as well as challenges, whether it be in a technical, environmental
Three novel ways of producing small volumes of blood plasma for either a Point of Care or automated application were developed and evaluated based on their usability. Development was based on the trapping unit of the acoustofluidic AcouTrap system by AcouSort AB, Sweden. By trapping cells and clumping them together, increased sedimentation speeds of whole blood cells was achieved, based on the pre
Background: Today, the environmental challenge presents a growing concern for the food supply chains around the world; and developing countries in particular, suffer from it. UN Global Compact has defined environmental sustainability as dealing with three main environmental challenges: climate change, water and sanitation, and food and agriculture. Digital tools have disruptive potential, especial
