Akademiska hierarkier kvarstår trots uttalade ambitioner om jämlikhet för alla inom akademin. Detta arbete undersöker hur bland annat lärare och forskare vid Lunds universitet upplever hierarkier samt tillhörighet i relation till sin kulturella bakgrund och familjens värderingar. Arbetet bygger på en kvalitativ metod i form av semi-strukturerade intervjuer som analyserats tematiskt med hjälp av Pi

Mulde Event, under mellansiluriska wenlock, utgör en period med globala störningar i ekologi och geokemi, bland annat ett drastiskt graptolitutdöende. I marina sediment från denna period har ett laminerat in-tervall identifierats i flera borrkärnor runt Östersjöområdet, inklusive Gotland, men intervallets ursprung och bety-delse är fortfarande inte klarlagt. I detta arbete analyseras lamineringen The Mulde Event, during the mid-Silurian Wenlock epoch, represents a period of global ecological and geochemical disturbances, including a drastic extinction of graptolites. Within marine sediments from this interval, a laminated sequence has been identified in several drill cores across the Baltic region, including Gotland; however, the origin and significance of this sequence remain poorly under

Menstrual health is essential for people who menstruate to fully participate in daily life and social activities. It is also a fundamental human right that closely impacts the realization of other rights such as right to non-discrimination and education. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to menstrual health on both the international and national levels. However, significant barr

This thesis conducts a dynamic integration of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) in a food processing line, based on the thermodynamic efficiency and coefficient of performance. The main goals are to decrease the energy consumption in the industry and further the operational costs, and thereby increase the energy efficiency in the unit processing line. The objective of this thesis is to assess th

The terms-of-trade a country faces are the prices of its exports divided by the prices of its imports. While unassuming, they hold much theoretical importance, and have been consistently found to be strongly correlated with economic growth rates. This paper provides a novel, monthly terms-of-trade index series for interwar Poland, covering 1924-1939; investigates the underlying trade structure; an

Detta examensarbete behandlar utvecklingen av ett intelligent belysningssystem på Beckhoff Automation AB:s kontor i Malmö. Syftet är att minska energiförbrukningen utan att kompromissa användarkomforten, genom att automatisera styrningen av kontorets belysning med hjälp av närvarodetektering, ljusnivåmätningar och fördefinierade ljusscenarier. Projektet programmeras via Beckhoffs PLC-system, TwinC

This thesis contributes to the credit risk literature by analyzing the Merton model’s ability to replicate credit default swap (CDS) spreads. Since defaults are rare events, resulting in low statistical power, the method is evaluated by comparing model implied CDS spreads to market ones. The data sample used includes quarterly observations from 2015 to 2024 for 44 firms included in the NASDAQ Comp

Människans minne är extraordinärt i sin förmåga att lagra stora mängder information men är samtidigt sårbart för förvrängningar och fel. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigmet har i stor utsträckning använts för att undersöka förekomsten av falska minnen. Forskning har visat att deltagare ofta felaktigt identifierar semantiskt relaterade, men ej presenterade ord, så kallade “kritiska lockord” sHuman memory is extraordinary in its ability to retain vast amounts of information, yet it remains fallible, susceptible to distortion and error. The Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm has been widely used to study false memories, demonstrating that participants often falsely recognize semantically related, but non-presented, “critical lure” words as previously studied. This study focuses on

This thesis explores the Poisson process in one and multiple dimensions, with particular focus on its application to modeling the spatial distribution of stars. The theory of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous Poisson processes is developed, along with key aspects such as thinning, distribution of inter-arrival times and nearest neighbor distribution. These are then extended to a three-dimensional

I en digitaliserad arbetsmarknad har LinkedIn blivit en central plattform för unga studenters professionella självpresentation. Denna studie undersöker vilket emotionellt arbete som krävs för att balansera autenticitet och strategisk anpassning på plattformen. Genom sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med studenter i övergången mellan studier och arbetsliv analyseras hur känsloreglering, normmedveten

The lexical bias effect refers to the tendency for phonological speech errors to have lexical rather than non-lexical outcomes. This effect has often been used as a piece of evidence in theories of speech production, informing assumptions about monitoring and spreading activation. However, the lexical bias effect is known only from investigations of a relatively small set of languages, and the fin

Inventory management involves balancing conflicting priorities across production, purchasing, and stock control. Uncertainties in demand and lead times make it difficult to maintain optimal inventory levels, leading to the use of safety stocks. Its effectiveness depends on the chosen calculation method. This thesis, in collaboration with Company X, explores how different methods of determining saf

This qualitative study investigates the effect that Generative AI (GenAI) tools have on students' achievement of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on perceptions and utilizing the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy. Conducting several semi-structured interviews, the study investigates the role of GenAI in potentially imp

Fuffagurus are a newly emerging phenomenon that has become popular on Social Media, especially in the Italian Case, in recent years. These self-proclaimed financial and business experts became a relevant figure among those of Influencers. Advertising an infallible Method to generate an unimaginable amount of money, they attracted thousands of followers interested in their alternative way to make a

This study investigates climate resilience and migration among Maasai pastoralists in Laikipia County, Kenya, addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change to ecosystem-dependent livelihoods. Despite growing interest, qualitative studies linking climate impacts to human mobility outcomes among pastoralist communities remain limited. Drawing on climate resilience theory and climate-induc

I dag är det lätt att få tag på information via exempelvis internet. Befolkningen besitter allt större kunskap vad gäller den globala uppvärmningen och vad som orsakar detta samtidigt som strävan efter att förebygga detta är stort. Lagar regleras utifrån ett mer miljövänligt perspektiv där fokus ligger på att ersätta material och industriella processer med hög klimatpåverkan. Plast har länge varitLignin is a by-product from the paper industry and has shown good liquid barrier properties according to previous studies. The objective of this work was therefore to study the liquid barrier properties of hydrotropic extracted lignin through steam explosion (STEX), obtained from spruce. The lignin was dissolved in three different solvents (concentrations: acetone 65 %v/v, ethanol (EtOH) 80%v/v an

This thesis explores how climate change concern is polarised in Sweden, with the aim to increase the understanding to detect social impediments to successful progress on the issue, as well as to prevent conflictual divides. The thesis examines the distribution of climate attitudes through three different forms of polarisation: distributive opinion polarisation, group-based (opinion) polarisation,
