In this thesis a focus is set on Danish war movies’ way of portraying the Danish participation in the war in Afghanistan after 2002, to examine how the newer Danish war activity is interpreted in relation to the western world’s “war on terror”. Through a narrative analysis of three movies, namely Armadillo, Brothers in Arms and A War, it is examined, which narratives on the Danish participation in

This thesis provides a formal analysis of Agnès Varda’s documentary The Beaches of Agnès (2008), focusing on how the formal elements in the film such as voice-over, reenactments and the use of mirrors create a sense of self-awareness in the film. Through Agnès Varda’s extensive body of work it is possible to see the historical movement of the essay film, from its relation to the French Cinema fro

Much scholarship has critiqued the fact that non-governmental organisations (NGOs), as a result of global neoliberalism and consequential state retreat, have become private service providers of children’s protection rights. But how can we explain the situation when neoliberal states also undergo autocratisation and take back service provision from NGOs, while at the same time preserving the privat

Background: Age-related immunosenescence, also known as ‘inflammageing’, may impact the elderly’s ability to mount immune responses against cancers and compromise the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). In this context, data on tonsillar cancer (TC), a subset of head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), are lacking. Aims/objectives: To compare the presence/distribution and featu

This work presents the architecture of a prototype software system for image preprocessing and analysis designed to support the guidance of an auxiliary UAV camera. The study begins with an overview of typical UAV onboard elec-tronics, highlighting the electro-optical equipment, which includes a navigation camera and an auxiliary camera with a narrower field of view. Automatic image analysis from

Creating thermally stable collagen mimetic peptides (CMPs) is a persistent challenge. Nature leverages covalent crosslinkings to stabilize collagen's signature triple helical tertiary structure and higher-order assemblies. Herein, crosslinkings between levodopa (Dopa) and lysine can covalently stabilize the triple helix in CMPs is demonstrated. Since alkaline conditions catalyze the oxidation of t

Computational analysis of large-scale metagenomics sequencing datasets provides valuable isolate-level taxonomic and functional insights from complex microbial communities. However, the ever-expanding ecosystem of metagenomics-specific methods and file formats makes designing scalable workflows and seamlessly exploring output data increasingly challenging. Although one-click bioinformatics pipelin

This article presents a Luhmann-inspired theory of conflictualization, that is, how objects, relations, and societies come to be defined by the logic of conflict. This article presents a Galtung- and Luhmann-inspired theory of conflictualization, that is, how objects, relations, and societies come to be defined by the logic of conflict. The article conceptualizes conflictualization as a threefold

Uppsatsen behandlar och analyserar delar av lagförslaget om återkallelse av svenskt medborgarskap som presenteras i 2023-års fri- och rättighetskommittés betänkande Några frågor om grundläggande fri- och rättigheter (SOU 2025:2). Fokus ligger på förhållandet mellan orubblighetsprincipen hos gynnande förvaltningsbeslut och den föreslagna återkallelsemöjligheten, samt på tolkningen av rekvisiten ”or

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

This perspective article explores how sustainability transitions experience a geo-economization based on rising concerns about sovereignty. We argue that sovereignty has yet again become an active force structuring socio-technical trajectories. In this case, socio-technical systems tend to be reconfigured in ways that first and foremost ensure the continued provision of their core societal functio

Behovet av ny kunskap i anslutning till klimatförändringen är enormt. Det behövs ny kunskap om hur • klimatet kan komma att utvecklas. • skogsekosystemet kan komma att utvecklas. • dessa system interagerar. Detta kunskapsuppbyggande är högst angeläget att påbörja men kommer att ta tid. Många beslut inom skogsbruket måste fattas redan idag utan tillgång till forskningsresultaten. Man tvingas alltså

To explore novel genetic loci for diabetic nephropathy, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for diabetic nephropathy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. We analyzed the association of 5,768,242 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, 2,380 nephropathy cases and 5,234 controls. We further performed GWAS for diabetic nephropathy using

A prerequisite for the design and evaluation of wireless systems is the understanding of propagation channels. While abundant propagation knowledge exists for bands below 6 GHz, the same is not true for millimeter-wave frequencies. In this paper, we present the design, implementation and measurement-based verification of a re-configurable 27.5-29.5 GHz channel sounder. Based on the switched array
