The degree project Other spaces in a mobile sauna aim to explore how architecture together with other factors can create temporary other spaces - and how these spaces of temporary otherness can contribute to a more inclusive city. These questions are investigated through the design and construction of a queer mobile sauna. The project focuses on exploring by doing and testing as well as collaborat
I detta examensarbete har en vägdagvattendamm i Lunds nordöstra stadsdel Brunnshög undersökts och modellerats. Syftet med studien var dels att ta fram en metod för att mäta sedimenteringshastigheter hos partiklar i dammen, dels att bygga upp en 3D-modell av dammen och simulera flödet samt fördelningen av suspenderade ämnen för på så sätt försöka avgöra var i dammen det lämpar sig bäst att ta ut va
Psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar har ökat de senaste åren. Skolsköterskan möter dagligen elever och har en betydelsefull roll i det hälsofrämjande arbetet med ungdomar. En välfungerande elevhälsa gynnar elever och bidrar till en lyckad skolgång och utveckling. Studiens syfte var att belysa skolsköterskors upplevelse av att arbeta främjande och förebyggande för att motverka psykisk ohälsa hos elever p
Bakgrund: Svenska ungdomars sexuella risktagande har ökat de senaste åren genom exempelvis oskyddat sex utan kondom och flera olika sexpartners, vilket kan leda till ofrivillig graviditet och abort. Skolsköterskans uppgift är att främja sexuell hälsa hos eleven, minimera sexuellt risktagande och motivera ungdomar till att ändra sin attityd kring sexuell hälsa och således öka användningen av preven
How can a physical working environment be created that can prevent psychological problems such as depression and burnout and thus have a lasting effect on us mentally, socially and physically? Which aspects of human nature have to be taken into account? Holistically, findings from different fields are carried together to meet the needs of the individual but also the requirements of a modern perfo
With an increasing global temperature, at rates twice as fast as the global average in the northern boreal forests, an increasing wildfire frequency is to be expected. Previous studies have shown that forest areas in Eurasia with high risk of wildfires today are expected to more than double in size in the following 30 years. This will have a great impact on the fire regime, biodiversity, economic
Sepsis is a life threatening condition where the body’s reaction to an infection results in a dysregulated immune response - ultimately causing damage to tissues and organs. The syndrome is diverse, both in underlying biology, disease manifestation and severity, and is therefore divided into endotypes and further into subphenotypes. Further understanding of the biological pathways of the various s
Floral traits are shown to covary predictably with local pollinators by a growing number of studies, and linking this variation to fitness can help to gain an even more predictive view. Pollinators have long been recognized to drive trait evolution in plants and plant communities. Most studies searching for patterns in how pollination affects plants do not consider that pollinator selection might
Marine mammals occupy multiple trophic levels within the food webs of modern ecosystems, and secondarily aquatic reptiles played similar roles in the Mesozoic oceans. Odontocetes have conical teeth similar to those of Mesozoic marine reptiles, and thus could potentially be used to interpret the feeding ecology of the latter group. This study uses both discrete and continuous characters to determin
In a changing climate, rapid adaptation may be crucial for survival. Genetic diversity is the main source for evolutionary changes prevailing in populations. Intraspecific variation allows populations to adapt to environmental changes. Maintaining this variation is vital for biodiversity’s long-term conservation. Yet, genetic information is only incorporated in 17% of conservation plans in Europe
Long-distance bird migrants face three main constraints: time, energy, and predation risk during migration. As a result, their migratory strategies may be altered. Since migratory birds spend most of their time refueling during migration, they are particularly vulnerable to predation risk at stopover sites. The trade-off between energy intake and predation risk is widely acknowledged. However, the
This project is the culmination of my time as a design student in Lund, and heavily influenced by many years of experience and knowledge gained as a professional drone pilot The decision to work with drones for my bachelor project was an easy one. It was my last chance in this education to design something that I already had quite extensive knowledge about. Despite that, I learned alot an
Plants can benefit from the naturally occurring plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere. Understanding the mechanisms driving these beneficial interactions can improve plant development and resilience. Here, it was attempted to use a Synthetic Community (SynCom) to rescue the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana plants during iron deficiency stress. This stress is caused by the bio-un-availability
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of leading causes of death in the world; survivors commonly exhibit behavioural changes and neurocognitive defects in the long-term. Following TBI, rapid changes in the neurovascular unit (NVU) occur as the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) increases and cerebral blood flow (CBF) becomes dysregulated. An integral component of the NVU are pericytes wh
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common and deadliest form of blood cancer in adults, accounting for over 80% of acute leukemic diagnoses. Despite the introduction of new targeted therapies, survival rate remains low in adults, and new therapeutic approaches are needed. In a previous CRISPR screen performed by the Järås group, CALRETICULIN was identified as a regulator of human leuc
