Denna uppsats undersöker hur parader genomförda av nordirländska protestanter både påverkar och formas av den kulturella kontext de genomförs inom. Genom att applicera grounded theory på kvalitativ information inhämtad via intervjuer och skriftliga svar från protestantiska informanter har deras reflektioner om paradens skiftande roll inom en kollektiv protestantisk identitet analyserats, huvudsakl
This thesis examines the influence of a foreign-born background on students’ educational choices in Sweden, focusing on the selection between vocational and university preparatory programmes in upper secondary education (gymnasium). Recognising that personal experiences and social contexts shape such decisions, a qualitative methodology was adopted to explore the underlying motivations and influen
This thesis investigates the performance of two model predictive control (MPC) variants for autonomous racing, using a 1:10-scale vehicle as a testbed for reference path-tracking experiments. The platform is equipped with a single inertial navigation system (INS) sensor, providing highly accurate odometry measurements. The controllers under study are the standard gradient-based MPC and a sampling-
This thesis is a theoretical study of thinking with water in relation to feminist theory of care, solidarity and ethics. The thesis is inspired by Astrida Neimanis’ concepts of hydrofeminism (2012) and bodies of water (2017) and has these as its starting point and main theory. The thesis asks: what can we learn from water in relation to relationality, difference, responses to the climate crisis, e
This paper is an empirical study on the effect that different weather conditions have on electricity prices in Denmark between the 29th of April 2023 and the 29th of April 2025. The study analyses how daily time series data for wind speed, temperature and solar exposure impacts daily electricity prices in respective bidding areas. The findings of this paper concludes that each of the measured weat
The availability of light pulses down to the attosecond timescale has led to the development of spectroscopic methods capable of resolving the dynamics of electrons. By studying the interference of electron wave packets (EWP) on their natural timescales, greater understanding of the dynamics can be gained. An attosecond pump-probe technique has been applied previously in Lund to study attosecond
This paper examines the applicability of three licensing models, compulsory licensing, free licensing and FRAND licensing, to green technology patent pools. Given that green technologies are critical in addressing global environmental challenges and achieving the SDGs, they can be effective in balancing incentives for innovation with wider dissemination of technologies. This study evaluates ea
Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga självrapporterade symtom som drabbar tal/röst- samt sväljning hos nydiagnostiserade patienter med Parkinsons sjukdom (PS) innan medicinering påbörjats, så kallade de novo-patienter. Studien undersöker eventuella samband mellan dessa symtom och andra självupplevda symtom som drabbar gång- och balansförmågan (inklusive fall) samt salivöverskott. Studien är en
The European Union and China mark 50 years of diplomatic relations in 2025 amidst intensifying international tensions. This research explored the Chinese international relations (IR) scholarly discourse to identify how Chinese academics perceive, interpret, and represent the EU. Drawing from 23 publications and two in-depth semi-structured interviews with Chinese scholars, the study found that the
Modebranschens tillväxt online har förändrat konsumenternas köpvanor, men har även bidragit till en ökning av deras returer. Detta har i sin tur medfört påtagliga miljömässiga konsekvenser för samhället. Konsumenter uppskattar företagens milda returpolicy, men detta har bidragit till en problematik där de beställer fler kläder än vad de faktiskt behöver. Allt fler företag har börjat implementera r
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the study of antibody repertoires by enabling high-throughput, in-depth analysis of immune diversity and antigen-driven selection. When paired with in vitro display technologies, NGS offers unparalleled resolution in characterizing antibody libraries, but also presents substantial computational challenges due to the highly variable nature of antibod
With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology, the acquisition of large-scale human genome variation data has become increasingly prevalent, offering new opportunities for biomedical research. Therefore, obtaining meaningful information from high-throughput data has become a key task in related scientific research fields. However, how to quickly identify potential pathogenic sites
Background Brain metastases are a common complication in cancer, particularly in patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma, and are associated with poor prognosis. Understanding the spatial organization of tumor and immune cells is critical for uncovering the mechanisms of metastasis. Spatial transcriptomics technologies now allow gene expression profiling while preserving tissue arch
The brand Carhartt WIP has been working with establishing their brand image through social media that includes several collections with famous skate companies and posts including famous skaters from their team. Their clothing consisting of big silhouettes and good quality has been valued by the skate - community. Therefore this essay studies how Carhartt WIP is contributing to identity and what bo
Background: Gender differences in palliative care is an under-researched area, both internationally and in Sweden. A regional pilot study by our research group indicated that men have greater unmet palliative care needs prior to referral. Building on these findings, the aim of this study was to examine gender differences in the quality of care received at the end of life within specialized palliat
This thesis investigates sensorless methods for detecting collisions and added weight in dual motor-driven industrial doors, to enhance safety without additional hardware. The study is grounded in the safety requirements outlined in EN 12453:2017 and conducted in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY. By monitoring deviations in the torque-producing current (IQ) from the motors, the developed methods iden
This master thesis presents the development of a vision-based feedback control system for automating sample placement in a virtual neutron beam emulated using a laser. The thesis was carried out on behalf of the European Spallation Source (ESS) to investigate the feasibility, possibilities and limitations of using a robotic automation system for sample alignment. Due to the radioactive research en
Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors, with limited systemic therapeutic options and high recurrence rates. New treatment modalities in oncology, including antibody-drug conjugates and CAR-T cells, target the tumor cell surfaceome. However, despite extensive genomic and transcriptomic profiling, actionable surface antigens for targeted immunothe
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque deposition, tau pathology, and neuroinflammation, with genetic variants in the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene representing the strongest risk factor for late-onset AD. Microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, are increasingly recognized as central to disease progression through their roles in neuroinflammation and Aβ clearance.
