Recruitment of new individuals is essential for a population to survive and flourish and bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is on the decline in some parts of the Baltic Sea. The causes being multitude and complex, culminating to the loss of light penetration being the main culprit. As society moves forward, artificial submerged structures may serve as new footholds for a waning population as well a

Disposable hygiene products, such as gloves and aprons, are commonly and frequently used in healthcare environments and are essential to maintain the hygiene standard. They are placed in different types of carriers, primarily in examination rooms and are mounted on the walls. This creates some difficulties for product development and fast access because not all hygiene products fit all carriers an

I samarbete med Cadence har detta examensarbete skapat ett webbaserat gränssnitt vilket kommer att visualisera stora mängder data på ett mer läsbart sätt för människor. Cadence är ett företag med inriktning på elektronisk system design och erbjuder andra företag lösningar för silikon design skapande, simulation, implementation och signoff för analoga och digitala kretsar och mycket mer. Detta gränIn collaboration with Cadence this thesis work has created a web based interface which aims to visualise large sets of data in a more human readable way. Cadence is a company specialising in electronic system design and is offering other companies solutions for silicon design creation, simulation, implementation and signoff of analog and digital circuits and a lot more. This interface will also be

The Swedish welfare system has been subject to extensive research, because of its unique alloy of capitalist and socialist ideas and principles. The Social Democratic formulation of the idea of the people’s home has been an integral part of the Swedish political discourse for the better part of a century. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, the hegemony of the social democratic ideology came into questi

Critical infrastructure is essential for a functioning society because of the services and goods they provide. Within these infrastructures there are several departments whose functionality is critical to society and when exposed to stress can lead to societal consequences. Therefore, it is important for the department within the critical infrastructure to have a solid crisis and continuity prepar

Gamification uses elements of game-designing on mundane tasks to enhance motivation and performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of gamification on performance, intrinsic motivation and amotivation while doing work tasks. Using a randomized experimental design with the game design elements reward badges and character choice, gamification of in-tray exercises commonly used in Assess

I denna studie utforskar jag mitt intresseområde vilket är pianoundervisning inom den klassiska musikgenren på ett mer ingående sätt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fem pianolärare, verksamma i fyra olika länder, strukturerar sina pianolektioner. Studiens fokus låg på grundskolor inom musik med klassisk inriktning. Det är en fördjupad studie i vad det egentligen innebär att undervis

The study of heterogeneous catalysis, especially within methane oxidation, is of high importance in order to more efficiently remove unburned methane from bio-fuel exhausts. This is relevant as bio-fuel engines will replace those driven by fossil fuels in the coming decades. This thesis contributes to the understanding of that reaction in a 5 mbar environmental pressure regime over a polycrystalli

With the growing global demand for affordable housing, the housing deficit needs to be addressed with building solutions that are fast to build while less expensive to operate and construct. As most prefabricated systems are targeted to mess production, individuality and option for customization has become highly limited. Looking into what is currently available in the market, reviewing these off

This master thesis project applies a mixed methods approach to fulfill the purpose of exploring how and in what ways digitalization transforms different retail categories. A theoretical framework is formulated using existing theories and research, from which four key variables are identified: distribution, interaction, competition and product offering. These variables, combined with an overarching

In the fall of 2022, Sweden's most significant social service that is located in Malmö City went through a major organizational change. The goal of the reorganization was that it would be easier to manage the daily operations, collaborate internally, and primarily handle cases equally when the respective departments were located in the same buildings. The aim of this study is to gain the persp

Both during and after the pandemic, the trend of biophilic design has reached maximum acceleration. One of the consequences being an increasing interest in gardening and plant care in general. Though not everybody might have so called ‘green fingers’, everyone should have the opportunity to try, and a product that facilitates horticulture is the self watering planter. IKEA of Sweden is looking int

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with toxic forms of alpha synuclein (α-syn) accumulating in the midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons, leading to cell death. In the first part of the study we wanted to investigate the midbrain DA population and their gene expression relative to the intracellular α-syn load. To this end, human wildtype α-syn was packaged inside custom, uniquel

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been increasingly attracting attentions in many different fields. Healthcare is one of the areas that has greatly benefited from the advances in AI/ML. This includes a wide range of applications such as medical data interpretation, disease or abnormality detection or prediction, monitoring specific health condition and medical data manage

Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of production processes have always been a significant challenge, primarily because such processes often contain activities that lead to waste. In response to address these challenges, tools like Lean and Six Sigma, and over time their descendant, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) were developed. It is argued that Industry 4.0 proliferated data accessibility in the m

Stone tools define earlier prehistory but the extent of their usage in later periods remains uncertain, as the archaeological community tends to focus on trademark materials from respective time periods. Accordingly, usage of chipped stone such as quartz and flint in later periods, tends to be ignored or regarded as residual from earlier Stone age activities, resulting in that valuable knowled

This paper investigates the effects on inflation of the Quantitative Easing programme employed by the Swedish Riksbank during the years 2015-2019. As previous studies have presented contradicting results on the topic, this paper aims to evaluate the potential effect of asset purchases on inflation through some of the main transmission channels identified by prevailing literature, namely the exchan

This thesis report treats my individual project “The Filter”, a result from the Bachelor Studio Contemporary Architecture at the faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The report describes my design and concept process. I Investigated how to design a Filter that demonstrates the natural cleaning process, and how to design the other parts of the naturrum. The report displays how the design deci
