The European Spallation Source ERIC is a new neutron spallation source being built in Lund, Sweden, with NMX as one of the pioneer instruments. NMX is a Quasi-Laue single crystal neutron diffractometer for the investigation of large biological molecules. Wavelength, size and divergence of the neutron beam reaching the sample have to be controlled to properly match the different experimental needs.
The industrial food production system have given rise to tens of thousands of local, national and international social movements concerned with food and agriculture, reacting to the perceived social and environmental failures of the industrial food system. One of the directions inside these movements is the internationally based “local food” movement. The ”local food” movement promotes small-scal
Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. To gain a better understanding of the Arctic carbon cycle in the future, global dynamic vegeta
Purpose: With this paper, the authors aim to explore the dynamic relationship between architectural design and brand identity, particularly emphasizing how McDonald's stores have evolved to reflect the essence of the brand over time. Design/methodology/approach: Historical analysis of McDonald’s restaurant designs and layouts from different sources such as the corporate website, news reports,
The difference between the academic legal research and the real-world ap-plication is probably of no larger difference anywhere else than in the sphere of International Humanitarian Law. This thesis aims to research this discrepancy, and explore how the environ-ments and frictions of the modern battlefield effects the application of the many laws and rules of IHL. Through analyzing the most key p

This thesis provides an analysis of the Eurozone‟s crisis management during the European debt crisis from a Neorealist perspective. It assesses the explanatory power of Neorealism for the counter-measures taken in response to the European debt crisis. The main argument is that in times of crisis, the member states of the European Union may fall back to Neorealist behavior, despite any integrating
In times of worldwide increasing overfishing, marine reserves are a vital tool of marine conservation and fisheries management. Benefits of marine reserves can extend beyond reserve boundaries to adjacent fishing grounds through spillover of fish. Anticipating higher catch rates, fishers try to capitalize on spillover by increasingly fishing along reserve boundaries, a behavior known as fishing th
This thesis aims to answer the question of what quality of life is constituted of in a non-human context. Or differently put, ‘what is it that makes an animal's life worth living?’ In the procedure of reviewing this question other concepts and issues are addressed. One of these being the composite concept of 'animal welfare', mainly due to its popularity and frequent use in discussions
This report is the result of a master thesis project conducted at the Global R&D Dish Care Department at Electrolux, Stockholm. The master thesis has been carried out through the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University. Electrolux is a developer and producer of household appliances active on the global market. Their focus
Canada’s total fertility rate declined steadily from its peak of 3.92 children per woman in 1958 to a low of 1.49 in 2000. Since 2001 however, Canada’s TFR has increased every year, resting at 1.66 in 2007. This increase has taken place in nearly every province, and coincides with a period when real estate prices increased for 37 consecutive fiscal quarters. Although numerous studies have focused
The following paper aims to assess Mongolia’s recent decision to engage in its first issue of sovereign bonds, announced for the fall of 2010. To this end, both a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of the bond characteristics and implications were conducted. The comparative country analysis provides insight into previous activities on the sovereign bond market, and helps estimate the expected
Food grain markets are special in the sense that farmers will, likely, be consumers of the crops they produce. This study examines smallholder market participation on the Ugandan maize market, and, furthermore, explores possible connections to rural poverty. A probit model of market participation is employed, and I work with data from a household survey conducted between 1999 and 2000. A number of
Racial discrimination is one of the most fundamental forms of social inequality. It remains prevalent in major progressive democracies such as Sweden and the United States. Limited studies have examined how the two nations differ in a comparative cross-sectional design. This paper aims to understand experiences and opinions regarding ethnicity and discrimination to explore differences and similari
Existing studies on China’s COVID-19 response have gravitated to a macro-level, formal institutional analysis, focusing either on the effectiveness of the policy in early-stage virus containment or on the growing negative impacts of COVID policy practices on China’s socio-political landscape at the late stage. Using serial interviews accompanied by online observations and documents, this thesis re
Amid rising worry around human and AI alignment and citing concerns for data privacy and content inappropriate for children and the “emotionally vulnerable”, the Italian government recently imposed a complete ban against the Replika chatbot within Italy. Following the issuance of the ban and citing similar concerns over safety, the designer/owner of the technology, Luka, Inc. (Luka), implemented c
