The 2021 edition of Lund Architecture Symposium (LAS21) will address the emergence of transformatory practices in architecture.The pressing contemporary challenges in global discourse require architects to dissolve – even obliterate – the conventional boundaries between design and implementation. These transformatory practices combine multiple skills from various industries to advance the conjavas
References to politics are currently proliferating within global architecture discourse. The looming perils of climate change, the automation of labor markets, and the breakdown of models for city and state governance, for example, have catalyzed an increasing interest in the politics of architecture. Yet, the relationship between architecture and politics remains unclear. What role can/should pol
Den svenska migrationspolitiken har accelererat och med bakåtriktad verkan fått ödesdigra effekter för människor som sedan länge är etablerade i landet. Det har utlöst en het debatt som nyligen tvingade regeringen att tills vidare slå till bromsen. För den som vill hålla sig informerad om vad som hänt på vägen till nuvarande hållplats är Fredrik Kopschs Utvisad boken att begrunda.Den svenska migrationspolitiken har accelererat och med bakåtriktad verkan fått ödesdigra effekter för människor som sedan länge är etablerade i landet.

Despite their geological significance, the thermochemical processes leading to the formation of early carbonate cements remain elusive. To bridge this knowledge gap, we carried out here laboratory-simulated diagenesis on aragonite ooids. They were placed in autoclaves, filled with distilled water, and subjected to varying temperatures and durations. Our results focus on the transformation from ara
The paper examines the relationship between globalization, trade liberalization, income inequality, and poverty, emphasizing the conceptual and empirical challenges in identifying clear and causal links. The paper reviews theoretical predictions and empirical studies on how trade openness affects wages, employment, and income distribution.This paper examines the relationship between globalization, trade liberalization, income inequality, and poverty, emphasizing the conceptual and empirical challenges in identifying clear causal links. While inequality within many countries has risen in recent decades, evidence on global inequality trends remains inconclusive, with some findings suggesting a decline driven by growth in large develo
This thesis investigates the possibility of shortening setup times for the hardware testing rigs at BorgWarner’s Landskrona location. All the test rigs in question use the same measurement and control software, NI VeriStand. NI VeriStand is a data acquisition and control software created by National Instruments. This software needs a certain file, a system definition file,to coordinate the communi
The early Phanerozoic has long been thought to have witnessed a decline in the ocean dissolved silicon inventory, but direct, quantitative investigations of dissolved silicon concentrations are missing. Silicon isotope fractionation by modern siliceous sponges is known to be related to ambient seawater silicon concentrations, opening a potential window onto reconstructions of silicon concentration
This thesis is built upon four research projects, in which we investigated different aspects of increasing the diagnostic yield of blood cultures. Blood culture sampling using a single venipuncture (single-sampling strategy, SSS) is non-inferior to sampling from two separate venipunctures when sensitivity is considered. The effect of SSS on blood culture contamination rate is less known. In Study
Scarcity, abundance, and excess – the experience of having too little, just enough, or too much of something (Abbott, 2014) – we frequently encounter in our lives. However, given recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), we now face an unprecedented volume of communication across digital media contexts (Schulz et al., 2025). GenAI enables faster, more efficient ways of proScarcity, abundance, and excess – the experience of having too little, just enough, or too much of something (Abbott, 2014) – we frequently encounter in our lives.

This paper challenges the dominant conceptualization of authentic self-presentation as real, genuine or true expression of inner essence or social identity (Lehmann et al., 2019) and calls for its redefinition in light of the rise of AI-generated content within algorithmically mediated online environments.

Extreme heat is a growing public health threat in tropical Africa, especially in Ghana where outdoor maximum daily temperatures (Tx) regularly exceed 35 °C. Vulnerability to heat is socially and economically differentiated, with pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and people with chronic health conditions most at risk. High proportions of these groups are found in hospitals, yet little
Background: Seafarers constitute a global workforce exposed to unique psychosocial, organisational, and environmental stressors. Despite growing attention to maritime wellbeing, empirical evidence on how these multi level determinants interact to shape mental and physical health remains limited. This thesis aims to identify key determinants of mental health, wellbeing, happiness, and self rated he
The concept of quasicrystal approximants is best pursued with reference to the quasicrystals themselves. This makes the classification of approximants into classes congruent to those for quasicrystals useful, that is, axial and icosahedral. As noted by several authors, work on approximants has come full circle; the initial interest in approximants grew out of a desire to understand particularly th
