Bombyx mori silk fibroin has been widely used in various biomedical products, in which the silk fibroin is regenerated into liquid and freeze-dried to result in a porous scaffold. The tunability of the silk fibroin scaffold's mechanical strength and permeability is essential for different functions and applications. We explore different controlling factors in the fabrication process to underst
Utförande av denna Masteruppsats är en del av projektet Ecodiver och i samarbete med vattenavdelningen på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Syftet med studien är att granska den öppna källkods mjukvaran QSWAT+ som är ett plugin-program i QGIS. Detta för att i kommande tid kunna utveckla ett evidensbaserat verktyg för optimering av våtmarker. Undersökningsområdets omfattning är begränsad till Kävlingeåns avThis Master´s thesis is a part of the Ecodiver project, conducted by the Water department at LTH. The purpose of this study is to review the open-source software QSWAT+ as a plugin in QGIS, to be able to develop an evidence-based tool for optimization of wetlands. The scope of the study area is limited to the catchment area of Kävlinge river; however, no account is taken of the validation of data,
The political and socioeconomic consequences of US-led sanctions on Iran have been extensively researched. Despite Iran's importance in natural resources such as oil, research on the domestic economic consequences of sanctions, particularly on Iranian industries, is largely disregarded. When the domestic perspective of the sanctioned country is factored out, socially recurring effects like sel
The fashion industry with its complex supply chains deals with increasingly problematic environmental issues. IS and specifically analytics technologies are said to provide fashion companies with crucial insights to improve their environmental impact. However, these promises of this so-called analytics-enabled Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) are not fully materializing in the European fashion
Ultrashort laser pulses with time-dependent polarisation states have many applications, such as the generation of isolated attosecond pulses and the study of the optical chirality of molecules. In this project the polarisation gate, built from two quarter-wave plates of different orders, is thoroughly characterised in experiment and simulation. The time-dependent polarisation state is investigated
Suppose that an infinite population is partitioned into different species. Given a random sample from the population of species, we are interested in estimating the species richness, which is the number of different species inhabiting a given area. The species richness is a symmetric functional of the probability mass function. A suitable model for estimating the probability mass function is via
In this work we aim to implement a software package to detect and categorize dark data, data not accessible or not known by the user, generated in the simulations of the Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX). This will involve studying current existing solutions for such problems, attempting to implement them for the Lightweight Distributed Computing System (LDCS), and developing our own Dark Data S
Purpose - Based on previous research, this study explores the importance of signals as a way to attract investment in Reward-based Crowdfunding by focusing on signalling theory. This study presents two hypotheses suggesting a positive relationship between Human Capital (defined as education and previous working experience) and the likelihood of success on Reward-based Crowdfunding. Methodology - T
The Impostor Phenomenon is a concept that is well-known in pop-culture literature, but has received significantly less attention in academic contexts. Individuals experiencing the phenomenon have difficulty attributing their successes and achievements to personal factors and often feel like a fraud. The aim of this project was to contribute to the current literature on it, by both validating the S
In the wake of some high-profile accidents such as Gonesse (2000), Linate (2001) and Überlingen (2002), a trend of criminalisation of aviation professionals was noticeable. Recently, this trend was also seen in cases of operational incidents that did not lead to injury, loss of life or damage to property. This research explores whether the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No. 376/2014 of the Eu
With the recent development of Internet technology, the e-commerce industry is booming. However, under this rapid development, various inequality issues are hidden. Inspired by Goldin's (2002) study on declining gender significance, this paper focuses on the gender inequalities faced by female employees in the e-commerce industry in China. This paper focuses on one of the representatives of th
While developing countries are faced with pressing socio-economic challenges, they are also increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. Starting from this double challenge, current research has been focusing on the synergies between economic development and environmental protection. Within the field, the concept of environmental leapfrogging has emerged, referring to the p
The present study aims to explore the relationship between academic burnout, multidimensional perfectionism, and students’ perceived autonomy support from the teacher/instructor, while accounting for sleep. The final sample contained 147 university students with the mean age of 26 years. Three moderation regressions were carried out in the analysis. The results demonstrated that multidimensional p
In this thesis, mycoprotein was utilized to make emulsion filled gels. It was found that batch-variations exist in the mycoprotein, even though they were made with the same strain of fungi and underwent the same processing steps. Four different batches of mycoprotein were examined. A small-scale benchmark activity showed that it is possible to make firmer emulsion filled gels using mycoprotein po
The Cantril Ladder is one of the dominant cross-cultural well-being instruments, in which respondents evaluate their overall life by seeing a ladder that represents their worst (bottom) to best (top) possible life. Evidence suggests that the Cantril Ladder relates more to income than to (emotional) well-being, but its structure has rarely been validated. Over two studies, I tested the impact of Ca
Web accessibility has become increasingly important to ensure all people can benefit from the information and services available on the web. Despite the multiple international web accessibility standards, studies have revealed a low compliance rate by organizations globally. This study emphasizes that the successful incorporation of Web accessibility in an organization requires a holistic vision t
