The prevalence of violent conflicts over the last few decades has left numerous countries in the need of thorough rebuilding; from Afghanistan to Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Somalia or Rwanda. In order to assist in the recovery of these post-conflict societies, various peacebuilding strategies and transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented by a range of different actors. However, mo

Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu

Two-stage anaerobic digestion is considered as a sustainable and efficient way to deal with dairy effluent, and is commonly applied. The pre-acidification happening during the first stage of this process could be used to buffer the complex conditions in the initial dairy effluent, as well as produce intermediary product such as volatile fatty acids (VFA), and it is essential to be controlled. Vari

As part of the development of a process for production of a lignin-rich oil that can serve as a renewable feedstock to existing petroleum refineries, hydrogen assisted depolymerization of lignin in filtered black liquor has been investigated. This process offers the possibility to reduce fossil emissions from transportation by utilization of the largest renewable carbon resource in Sweden, namely

I denna uppsats utreder jag vilken rätt gifta barn har att återförenas med sina föräldrar eller med sin make eller maka. Detta för att ur ett barnrättsperspektiv utreda om ett ingånget barnäktenskap begränsar barns rätt till familjeåterförening. Syftet är även att undersöka på vilket sätt principen om barnets bästa förhåller sig till gifta barns rätt till familjeåterförening, för att sedan utreda From a child’s rights perspective this essay seeks to investigate whether child marriage restricts children’s right to family reunification. In this essay I therefor study what rights married children have to reunite with their parents or with their spouse. The purpose of this essay is also to investigate how the principle of the best interest of the child relates to married children’s right to fa

Papperssugrör kan förhoppningsvis ersätta dagens plastsugrör på mindre dryckesförpackningar, för att minska engångsanvändningen av plast över hela världen. Tetra Pak producerar sina egna papperssugrör i Lund, och undersöker möjligheten att övervaka produktionen med hjälp av bilder på de producerade sugrören. I detta arbete ligger fokus på styrkan hos tippen på sugröret, och vilken kraft som behövsContinuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. If the predicted performance of th

Kenya stands at the forefront of Eastern Africa’s economic growth, showcasing potential driven by a robust economy, a vast market, and commendable progress in education and infrastructure. Central to Kenya’s transformative agenda is Vision 2030, a blueprint to accelerate the country into a newly industrialized, middle-income country by 2030. However, the country’s industrial experience is often ov

This project documentation presents an overview of the design process of the master thesis of Elisabeth Langer and Lisa Laugs at Lund University, School of Industrial Design. The topic of the master thesis was rainwater harvesting, which was first explored through extensive research and analysis. This topic is highly relevant as several aspects such as population growth, urbanisation, and climate

Det finns ett ökat intresse för att förstå forskningens bidrag och roll i omställningen till ett mer hållbart samhälle. Hursomhelst karaktäriseras forskningsutvärdering och management av osäkerheter och en rad svårigheter, såsom balansen mellan långsiktiga och kortsiktiga projekt, inkrementella och disruptiva projekt m.m. Denna studie undersöker tvärsnittet mellan hållbarhetsbedömningar och forsknThis study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand

The quality of a flour can vary greatly depending on the wheat variety and on the conditions while growing the wheat. Currently, the quality is mainly assessed by test baking the flour to observe the volume of the final product. The aim of this study was to investigate if three instruments (Alveolab, Mixolab and Rheo F4) analyzing rheological behaviours connected to dough preparation and baking pr

Despite the increased focus on sustainable urban development both within academia and in urban planning practices, authors seem to agree that we are mostly continuing business as usual and are not embarking on different socio-environmental trajectories. On the contrary, such urban sustainability practices can often lead to processes of displacement and gentrification, thus worsening the conditions

The frequency of two external cavity diode lasers tuned to the two transitions at 410 nm and 451 nm of indium are stabilized in this thesis. A hollow cathode lamp of indium atoms is used as a low pressure source of indium atoms in the locking process. Two frequency stabilization methods, wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) and polarization spectroscopy (PS), are used in the thesis for the las

Ändtarmscancer är en av de vanligast förekommande cancersjukdomarna. Tillsammans med tjocktarmscancer är det den tredje vanligaste cancersjukdomen i världen. Den behandlas vanligen med kirurgi, under vilken en stor del av ändtarmen och dess omgivande fettvävnad tas bort. För att minska risken för återfall kan operationen kompletteras med strålbehandling, där patienterna oftast strålbehandlas innanBackground and purpose: During radiotherapy, rectal cancer patients show inter-fractional internal motion that effects the delivered dose distribution. The purpose of this work is to study I) the inter-fractional bladder volume change, II) the effect of bladder volume change on bowel dose distribution, III) the effect of bladder optimization on the relationship between bladder volume and bowel dos

In recent times, as the construction industry moves towards high-rise structures, under seas tunnels and mega infrastructure projects, companies face hard time managing the construction that continuously evolves for achieving new methods of engineering and supervision. Depending on the size and sensitivity of the project, the owners choose the construction company; i.e. mega projects require mega

Building sustainable, collaborative solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges requires a new generation of future professionals or ‘change-agents,’ the engagement of non-academic stakeholders, and academic facilitation. Educational reform is needed in order to enhance students’ competencies in becoming effective sustainability professionals. Effective collaborative platforms have the pot

To be able to change gears in a transmission it is necessary to remove the torque when disengaging and engaging gears in order not to damage the teeth of the cogs. If the driving torque from the engine to the wheels is interrupted for a longer period of time it can be perceived as very uncomfortable for both the driver and passengers in the vehicle. A gear change can be divided into three main sta
