This study investigates new and alternative communication models of sustainable fashion within Instagram thrift stores in India using digital affordances of social media platforms. Drawing from interdisciplinary areas of fashion, media, and sustainability, we explore how social media platforms, such as Instagram, enable sustainable fashion systems of creation and consumption in distinct socio-ecol
Kompetenscentret AdTherM inriktar sig på analyser av termiska processer i industriella tillämpningar, inklusive termo- och elektrokemisk energiomvandling. De flesta utmaningar för industrin inom detta område är generiska och baseras på samma fysiska mekanismer. För att utveckla detta forskningsfält måste både experiment och modeller förbättras och samordnas. AdTherM är en plattform som är centreraAdTherM targets analyses of thermal processes in industrial applications, including thermo- and electrochemical energy conversion activities. Most challenges for the industry in this area are generic and based on the same physical mechanisms. To develop this field, both experiments and models need to be improved and coordinated. AdTherM is a platform centered around the models and methods used t
Large-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However, adverse remote effects resulting from atmospheric teleconnections could offset such regional benefits. We use state-of-the-art Earth-system model simulations to evaluate the global impacts of Sahara solar farms. Our results indi
I kompetenscentret Sentio kopplas excellent forskning och innovation vid universitet, företag och forskningsinstitut samman för att realisera visionen om ett världsledande centrum för utveckling av banbrytande integrerad sensorteknologi som möjliggör digital realtidsoptimering av industriella produkter och produktionsprocesser för en hållbar industri. Genom kontinuerlig och smart processoptimerinThe Sentio Competence Centre collects all necessary excellent competences to introduce beyond cuttingedge integrated sensor technology widely in production and products of Swedish industry. This allows a new level of adaptive control, use of AI integration in production, exact management of material and energy resources, introduction of new production methods, extending product lifetimes and a bre
This article examines the diffusion of meritocratic practices as a potential instance of policy transfer by scrutinizing the introduction of open and competitive examinations during the mid-nineteenth century in the British Civil Service. Scholars have argued that British reformers were inspired by meritocratic practices in British-ruled India. In order to assess this claim, we combine qualitative
Sektionen Forskning, samverkan och innovation (FSI) omfattar idag fyra avdelningar - LU Innovation, Forskningsservice, Samverkan och Development Office. På sektionen arbetar 86 personer. FSI är också värd för Swelife, Lärosäten Syds kontor i Bryssel samt är länkad till LU Ventures AB. FSI ger stöd till forskare, externa samarbetspartners och ledning i frågor som rör forskningsfinansiering, finThe Research, Collaboration and Innovation division (FSI) consists of four offices: LU Innovation, Research Services, the Cooperation office and the Development Office. FSI also hosts Swelife, the University Network of Southern Sweden in Brussels, and is linked to LU Ventures AB. FSI provides support to researchers, external collaboration partners and management on issues regarding research fund
High-resolution video generates substantial volumes of data that exceed typical network transmission capabilities, forcing a trade-off between video quality and bandwidth constraints. This thesis explores region-based compression techniques for sports video that intelligently allocate bits based on visual importance, preserving quality where it matters most while reducing bandwidth in less critica
Vårt fokus är forskning på ledskada, huvudsakligen i knäleden. Risken att drabbas är störst inom idrotten och den allvarligaste knäskadan är en korsbandsskada. I det korta perspektivet medför dessa skador smärta, svullnad, instabilitet samt nedsatt förmåga till fysisk aktivitet. Detta leder till försämrad livskvalitet. I det längre perspektivet ökar dessa skador kraftigt risken för artros (ledsvWe focus our research on joint injury, mainly of the knee. Sports is a common cause of knee injury with the most severe injury being cruciate ligament injury. I the short perspective, these injuries cause pain, swelling, instability and decreased activity level which often result in decreased quality of life. In the longer term, joint injury severely increases the risk of osteoarthritis although
The district heating (DH) customer installations in current DH systems contain a variety of different faults that cause the return temperatures of the systems to increase. This is a major problem, since the focus in the DH sector is to decrease the system temperatures in order to utilize more low-temperature heat. Therefore, this study has focused on how utilities are currently working to keep the
This study examines the geopolitical role of 14 metals and metalloids needed for renewable energy technologies. The analysis focuses on three factors with potential geopolitical importance: the geographic concentration of resources, potential revenues of resources rich countries and the size of total global markets. The geographic concentration of most of the fourteen studied metals and metalloids
Avdelningen för kursadministration ansvarar för fakultetens samtliga utbildningsprogram på grund- och avancerad nivå, utom läkarprogrammet. Avdelningen hanterar även kursadministration för fristående kurser och forskarskolan.This division provides course administration for all the faculty’s educational programmes at Bachelor and Master level (except the Medical Programme), as well as freestanding courses and the Research School.
