Recent advances in high-intensity electron and X-ray pulsed sources now make it possible to directly observe atomic motions as they occur in barrier-crossing processes. These rare events require the structural dynamics to be triggered by femtosecond excitation pulses that prepare the system above the barrier or access new potential energy surfaces that drive the structural changes. In general, the
The Department of Physics at Lund University is participating in a European Union project called EUMAPP (European Union Microdose AMS Partnership Programme), in which sample preparation and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements of biological samples from microdosing studies have been made. This paper describes a simplified method of converting biological samples to solid graphite for C-
This thesis focuses on the problems involving immigrants and their voting behaviour in Sweden. We presuppose that immigrants vote in a far less extent than Swedish citizen according to general statistics. We try to explain and give solutions to this problem. To our help we use both integration theory focusing on multiculturalism and electoral participation theories. Starting off in these two theo
After the last election Sweden has got a government that claims to be feminist. This thesis discusses whether the change of labels has also brought along policy formulated in a feminist way, arguing that the way policy is expressed affects how people see a certain problem. Three policy proposals are analysed, and in only one case the government seems to have been influenced by feminist ideas. The
Being a small business in the clothing industry involves a lot of hard work that extends beyond the usual eight-hour day. It is an industry characterized by fierce competition, tough conditions and requires cutting costs, unique marketing and a strong brand to succeed. However, this is everyday life for Svensson Jeans, a young clothing company that since its inception five years ago sells its own
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning De båda polerna har naturliga variationer med istäckets utbredning. Arktis och Antarktis har väl anpassad biota som klarar av det stränga klimatet och som är beroende av isens säsongsvariationer med att frysa och smälta. Isen spelar även en stor roll vid klimatvariationer och förändringar. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vilken isbildning som är mest The polar areas have natural variations in the ice extent. The Arctic and Antarctic environment have well-adapted biota that can handle climate and that are dependent on the seasonal variations of freezing and melting of the ice. The ice also plays a major role in climate changes and climate variability. The aim of this report is to determine the type of ice formation that is most common for the p
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) devices play a huge role in our lives today, and this constant connectivity will continue to grow. As these products are becoming an increasingly more important part of our homes, it is interesting to explore the design of them. This thought of interest led to a collaboration with Minut AB and the development of their product called Point. In order for th
Internationally there has been a growing interest of tramways the past decades. Swedish cities have taken notice of the positive characteristics that tramway have on cities and many of them has also begun investigations for future projects including tramway. The purpose of this study was to investigate in which ways tramways can contribute in creating attractive cities. The work consists mainly of
In this thesis we add a temperature dependence to the newly developed variable polytrope equation of state (Varpoly EOS) from Weppner et al. (2015), making it more universal and more applicable for planetary simulations. In this process we develop a new model for the Gruneisen parameter, which is a parameter that describes how pressure changes with the internal energy. This new model conforms to t
Wind power development in Iceland is still on early stages where there are no wind farms and only a few wind turbines up and running in the whole country. However, the fast growing development of wind power that has been taking place in Europe and around the world has not gone unseen in Iceland. The interest in wind power is growing rapidly and the preparation of the development of the first wind
Det fjärde globala målet i 2030 års agenda för hållbar utveckling handlar om God utbildning för alla och syftar till att "säkerställa en inkluderande och likvärdig utbildning av god kvalitet och främja livslångt lärande för alla". Globalt sett ökar antalet studenter vid universitet och högskolor. Dock ligger regionen söder om Sahara långt efter och har med sina 9% den lägsta bruttoinskriThe fourth goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development regards Quality education, aiming to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all". Globally, enrollment in university education is increasing. However, the sub-Saharan Africa region is lacking behind and with 9% it has the lowest global gross enrollment rate (GER). Low inco
The purpose of this project is studying heat transfer to indexable cutting tools during milling of a selection of titanium alloys, relevant to the industry. To achieve this goal, both experimental and theoretical models were contemplated to formulate the current thesis. The experimental set-up was designed and executed at Seco Tools AB, supporting the project as industrial collaborator. The therm

Forskningen kring psykedelier och dess effekter på välmående och vid behandling av psykiska åkommor har under senare år ökat markant. Den kvantitativa forskningen har varit dominerande men den kvalitativa forskningen börjar komma ikapp. En kvalitativ meta-analys kom fram till fyra teman med tillhörande underteman: (1) upplevelsens fenomenologi; (2) perspektiv på behandlingen; (3) terapeutiska proc
Fermentation is a process that utilizes live microorganisms to produce different biological products such as enzymes. The oxygen mass transfer rate is often the limiting factor in aerobic fermentations and thereby an important process parameter. The initial aim of this MSc thesis was therefore to develop a soft sensor for the volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient, kLa, in order to monitor it
Plastic offsetting is a new market-based approach for corporations and individuals to reduce their ‘plastic footprint’. This study seeks to understand how plastic offsetting organisations are discursively representing plastic offsetting as an ethical consumption practice, to convince corporations and individuals to purchase plastic credits. The main research question of the study is: How are plast
Dagens textilindustri är starkt präglad av fast fashion, en global industri som bygger på stora inköp och små marginaler vilket leder till en överproduktion där 40 procent av de textilier som tillverkas globalt aldrig kommer ut på marknaden. Detta resulterar i bristande arbets- och levnadsförhållanden i produktionsländer samt enorma utsläpp. Med hjälp av politiska incitament och teknologiska framsToday's textile industry is strongly characterized by fast fashion, a global industry based on large purchases and small margins, leading to overproduction where 4 percent of the textiles produced globally never reach the market. This results in poor working and living conditions in producing countries and huge emissions. With policy incentives and technological advances, we can move towards l
