European rivers experience increased loading of total organic carbon (TOC) from terrestrial sources due to factors involving changes in land use, climate and soil acidity. However, little is known about how increased TOC is linked to changes in the bioreactivity of organic matter in these rivers on a continental scale. We compiled paired measurements of TOC and biological oxygen demand in 5‐day 20
The process of transforming the industrial economy into a society largely based on the production and dissemination of information and knowledge has widespread implications for cities and regions as well as organisations and individuals. And while the economy is increasingly global, the differences in economic development between cities and regions will not necessarily disappear. Indeed, the diver
Sustainability reporting remains a well-established field of research, with many important contributions. Additionally, the public has a growing desire for firms to adopt responsible ESG practices, thus requiring more transparency and accountability. Without the acceptance from the public, the business might face negative consequences. The understanding of how sustainability reporting is disclosed
Climate change is intensifying globally, leading to rising temperatures. The Arctic being a vulnerable and extreme environment faces an enhanced warming effect, referred to as the Arctic amplification. In this rapidly changing environment, high amounts of carbon (1,460 – 1,600 Pg C) are stored in permafrost. This is four times the amount of carbon being emitted by humans in modern times. Increasin
Den 1 juli 2022 trädde en ändring av lagen (1988:254) om förbud beträffande knivar och andra farliga föremål, även kallad knivlagen, i kraft. Denna innebar bl.a. att kvalifikationsgrunder infördes för bedömningen av om ett brott ska rubriceras som grovt, och att straffskalan för grovt brott skärptes till fängelse i lägst sex månader och högst två år. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analyseraOn 1 July 2022, the Swedish Act (1988:254) on the Prohibition of Knives and Other Dangerous Objects (the Swedish Knife Act), which criminalizes possession of knives and other dangerous objects in public places, was amended. Through the amendment, four criteria were introduced to the statutory text, which are to be given particular consideration when assessing whether a violation of the law is to b
This study explores how Lund University students navigate everyday food purchasingdecisions in order to better understand young consumers’ needs and behaviours. As Europeanfarmers face growing competition from cheaper imported goods, understanding consumerbehaviour becomes increasingly important for creating more sustainable and locally resilientfood systems (Loughlin, 2024). Students were selecte
Förarapplikationer används i allt större utsträckning hos yrkesförare för att stödja företags ruttplanering, orderhantering, dokumentation och intern/extern kommunikation. När förare behöver läsa, tolka och/eller interagera med information i situationer kopplade till körning kan dessa system även skapa visuell, manuell och kognitiv distraktion, vilket ökar risken för trafikrelaterade skador. DettaDriver applications are increasingly used in professional driving to support route planning, order management, documentation, and communication. When drivers need to read, interpret, or interact with information in close proximity to driving, these systems can also create visual, manual, and cognitive distractions, increasing traffic safety risk. This master's thesis was conducted in collabora
In the early 20th century, researchers from folklore archives travelled across Sweden to collect stories from rural communities and peasant society, as this culture was widely believed to be disappearing as more people moved to urban areas. These stories became part of collections that are now documented as part of Swedish cultural heritage. In the 1970s, however, these collections were criticised
This study examines how the Sweden Democrats discursively construct and legitimize the recognition of Somaliland within contemporary Swedish political rhetoric. By applying the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) within Critical Discourse Analysis, in combination with postcolonial theory and securitization theory, the thesis investigates how recognition is framed through broader narratives concern
As firms increasingly operate in markets characterised by competition, uncertainty, regulations, and shifting consumer demands, understanding how business models (BMs) are reconfigured has become increasingly important. Against this background, the study aims to increase the understanding of how regulations and consumers, as exogenous forces, influence the reconfiguration of business model compone
We present a radial velocity (RV) analysis of TOI-1136, a bright Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) system with six confirmed transiting planets, and a seventh single-transiting planet candidate. All planets in the system are amenable to transmission spectroscopy, making TOI-1136 one of the best targets for intra-system comparison of exoplanet atmospheres. TOI-1136 is young (∼700 Myr), a
Soil microbes play an important role in governing global processes such as carbon cycling, but it is challenging to study them embedded in their natural environment and at the single cell level due to the opaque nature of the soil. Nonetheless, progress has been achieved in recent years towards visualizing microbial activities and organo-mineral interaction at the pore scale, especially thanks to
Protein aggregation is a key process in the development of many neurodegenerative disorders, including dementias such as Alzheimer's disease. Significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms of aggregate formation in pure buffer systems, much of which was enabled by the development of integrated rate laws that allowed for mechanistic analysis of aggregation kinetics. Ho
This paper presents in some detail findings and experiences gained from a new course entitled “Innovation Engineering” (IE). This course is offered in the Technology Management Programme (TM) at Lund University, Lund, Sweden. The incentive for developing the new course was the need for a more integrated and practical approach where technical, customer and application problems from reality confront
Some of the most consistently utilized terms in international environmental law are “sustainable development” and “sustainability”. Sustainable development is mentioned in virtually every domestic, regional and international laws on environment, energy and natural resources. This has led to the contentions by some scholars that the concept of sustainable development has matured into customary inte
Fields of Green and Gold är en multipel fallstudie som analyserar placeringen och etableringen av två storskaliga, berömda och påkostade golfanläggningar för att därigenom undersöka den exklusiva golfens politiska ekologi. De fall som studeras är Bro Hof Slott Golf Club i Upplands-Bro - som öppnade 2007 - och Trump International Golf Links Scotland i Aberdeenshire - som öppnade 2012. Att analyseraFields of Green and Gold is a multiple case study analysing the placing and establishment of two large-scale, high-profile, upmarket golf developments with the aim of exploring a political ecology of high-end golf. The cases studied are Bro Hof Slott Golf Club in Upplands-Bro, opened in 2007, and Trump International Golf Links Scotland in Aberdeenshire, opened in 2012. Reading these two cases toge
Language contact through globalisation has indeed influenced various changes in a number of human languages in different corners of the world. In recent years, some scholars have focused particularly on language contact as a reason behind historical changes, and some even consider that the language contact is the major force. In this paper, however, it is argued that language contact can be neglig
This thesis defends a hedonistic theory of value consisting of two main components. Part 1 offers a theory of pleasure. Pleasures are experiences distinguished by a distinct phenomenological quality. This quality is attitudinal in nature: it is the feeling of liking. The pleasure experience is also an object of this attitude: when feeling pleasure, we like what we feel, and part of how it feels is
One of the common tools for studying the deformation behavior of the microstructure in polycrystalline materials is crystal plasticity models. These are used to describe texture evolution and hardening due to crystallographic slip. A drawback when using crystal plasticity models is that the calculation of the slip requires solving a set of stiff differential equations for each grain in the microst
