Examiner: Erik Johansson, Housing Development & Management, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. Issue: The many apartments that
Tissue-mimicking phantoms are of great interest in the development of bio-medical applications. Instead of applying to biological tissues directly, phantoms enable stable and easy accessibility to validate spectroscopy systems and measuring processes. This thesis project is centered on the development and characterization of phantoms. The interaction between light and biological tissue is mainly
Many scholars have studied the rising threat from terrorism and the different challenges for the intelligence community in the prevention of an attack. But little research has been done on countries' different preventive measures within counter-terrorism. One of those examples are between Denmark and Sweden, which have made largely different approaches to preventive measures regarding security
The Swedish government has presented its feminist foreign policy of focusing on women’s rights, representation, and resources as a step towards peace and security in the international community. This paper conducts an empirical study of Sweden’s actions in Colombia to understand how this policy works in practice. The peace agreement between the Colombian state and the leftist FARC-guerrilla was re
The COVID-19 pandemic has fuelled the transformation of organisations from physical work environments to hybrid working environments. Some organisations have made the permanent change to a hybrid working environment – the hybrid working environment, herein, a mix of office and remote work. However, there is a limited body of literature to be found on the relation between organisational identificat
The objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for evaluating the performance of material models during biaxial loads. This is done by executing identical punch tests, one in a simulation and one in a physical experiment, and then comparing the results from the two. The material model that is to be evaluated is used in the simulation and a specimen of the corresponding material in the ph
On the 24th of February 2022, Russia initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. About a quarter of a year later, Sweden decided to abandon its long standing foreign policy doctrine of being militarily non-aligned in favor of joining NATO. Given the sequencing of these events, the common perception is that the 2022 invasion was the sole reason behind this significant decision. Taking a long-term
Landing from a jump is related to predictive sensorimotor control. Frontal, central and parietal brain areas are known to play a role in this process based on online sensory feedback. This can be measured by EEG. However, there is only limited knowledge about brain activity during predictive preparation for drop landings (DL). The purpose is to demonstrate changes in brain activity in preparation
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for distribution center location in order to reduce distribution costs for small, fast growing companies on the Nordic market. Methodology: In the methodology chapter, relevant research methodology for the type of study conducted in this report is presented. It is concluded that a case study is the most suitable approach for the purpose
Determining fatty acid composition within different lipid classes is a time-consuming process. Generally, normal phase chromatography is used to separate lipids by lipid class, based on differences in polarity. Fractions of this separation are then collected and derivatized into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMES), followed by analysis with gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (GC-FID).
The parents growing interest towards children clothing has become apparent when following Finnish media during the past years. In similar vein consumer culture literature has noticed the rise of clothing markets for newborns. It is scientifically proven that consumption objects have a significant role in life transitional phases. Symbolic meanings of consumption objects are used to facilitate the
Wildfires are increasing around the world and unlike building evacuations, the wildland urban interface (WUI) evacuations consider vehicle movement alongside the behaviour of wildfires. Tourists, as a diverse population, further complicate WUI evacuations due to factors such as language barriers, unfamiliarity with the area, varying levels of risk awareness, and the lack of access to vehicles. Nev
Financial decisions that concerns us are not always made by ourselves. In real life, many situations arise when the decisions are taken for us by a third person. Examples of this are when policy makers decide for us and when brokers handle our investments. Others are estimating the risks for us and makes financial decisions from their perception of the situation and perhaps their own risk preferen
The purpose with this thesis is to give the reader a holistic view of the 3D-print technology and how it can come to use in the construction industry. The purpose is also to spread knowledge about the technology. During the evaluation of the technology examines four aspects that an innovation needs to establish on the market, the aspects are: geographical resources, economical, law and social impa
Inflammatory bowel diseases as ulcerative colitis and Cohn’s disease represent significant health problems in the western world. Colon cancer is a common consequence of those chron- ic inflammatory disorders, thereby it is essential to improve knowledge and research level of this area. AOM/DSS is a known and well-established chemically induced mice model of coli- tis associated cancer. In order to
From its beginnings in 2001, the World Social Forum (WSF) has gained notice as a manifestation of ‘grassroots globalization.’ Is this new political formation of transnational activists an open space for organizations to gather, or does it constitute a social movement itself? The present study examines this debate among analysts and participants, using ethnographic data collected via participant-ob
This study focuses on the recent Directive (EU) 2019/1023 on preventive restructuring frameworks (‘Preventive Restructuring Directive’) that was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 20 June 2019. The purpose of this thesis is to examine and assess the EU legislator’s intentions in harmonisation of national laws on restructuring and to clarify the rationale behind business rescue.
The VAT system has been operating since 1967 across the European Union and is currently still in need to be adopted as definitive. Some issues should be confronted in 2018 before the implementation towards a fairer and simpler system. The proposal from the Commission set up in 2016 details the changes taken into account. As a cornerstone of the mentioned VAT system, this thesis will analyse the
Recent research has indicated that machining of titanium alloys with uncoated cemented tungsten carbide tools fulfil the criteria for Kirkendall porosity. If this occurs during machining, it could contribute to the type and rate of tool wear, compromising the tools structural integrity close to the edge line within the contact zone. In this study, voids were observed at the tool-workpiece contact
This study presents an approach of inventory, morphometric analysis, and geoconservation assessment of the exceptional denudation landforms of the Markovi Kuli geosite in North Macedonia. By integrating Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and orthophoto imagery processed from the UAV-based aerial photos of the area using Agisoft Metashape software, a high-resolution 0.1 m 3D model is produced. The mode
