The ongoing war in Ukraine has inflicted wide ranging environmental damages, each with their own set of consequences. The catastrophic failure of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Dam on the 6th of June 2023 initiated a new cascade of environmental destruction, as hundreds of square kilometres were rapidly inundated, with hundreds more left dehydrated as the Kakhovka reservoir drained away. Within the af

In one of the most fragile regions in the world, the European Union (EU) has increased its attempts to bring peace by exporting its own vision of stability. This study examines how the EU has managed the relationship between development and security in the Sahel region through its Regional Action Plans (RAPs) from 2011, 2015, and 2021. Through the application of Mark Duffield's (2014) theory,

The manufacturing of hardware is a complex process where many different types of parties are involved. This creates risks of inserting hidden harmful parts, so called Hardware Trojans (HTs). HTs can have many different functions, such as reducing security, leaking information or degrading a system. This thesis examines how Ring Oscillators (ROs) can be exploited by a malicious party and modified t

Background and purpose: Angiosarcoma (AS), a rare and highly malignant tumour, can manifest spontaneously (primary AS, pAS) or secondary to previous radiation, exposure to chemical agents or Stewart-Treves syndrome (secondary AS, sAS). The aim of this study was to characterise the clinical presentation, management, treatment and outcome—including local recurrence, metastasis and overall survival—a

In this chapter, we describe the work involved in developing a pedagogical framework at Lund University (LU). The work was carried out as a project.

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerdiagnosen för kvinnor och årligen drabbas över 9000 i Sverige. För att hitta cancern i ett tidigt stadium genomförs regelbunden screening (massundersökning) med mammografi (bröströntgen) för kvinnor i åldern 40–74. Artificiell intelligens (AI) och mekanisk avbildning, Mechanical Imaging (MI), har använts i separata studier inom mammografi för att underlätta granArtificial intelligence (AI) and mechanical imaging (MI) have been used in separate studies in breast imaging. They have individually shown great possibilities within the field of mammography, but the use of the two techniques together have never been evaluated. The artificial intelligence application used in this work was Transpara, a deep learning convolutional neural network. It distinguishes p

Background: Postoperative pneumonia is an acknowledged risk following surgical procedures, for which there is currently no prophylactic treatment. Different methods have been tried with varying results, such as the administration of antibiotics or chlorhexidine to reduce pathogens in the oral flora. This study explores a prophylactic oral treatment with a suspension of two lactobacillus-strains, L

Utveckling och testning av reaktorer för katalysmätningar Katalysatorer är oumbärliga i såväl livsprocesser som industriella tillämpningar. Bilismen är ett exempel där katalysatorer används vid såväl bränsletillverkning som avgasrening. Men detta är långt ifrån det enda användningsområdet. Katalysatorer är också delaktiga i tillverkningen av uppemot 90% av alla kemikalier. Industriella katalysa

The purpose of this study is to illuminate what postnatal depression is and how it might affect a newborn child and its mother. We also want to clarify what potentially causes postnatal depression, how to prevent it and how to socially work with this problem. To figure this out, we decided to administer six interviews with professionals such as social workers, nurses, psychologists and others. The

Facing interdependent, systemic problems such as resource depletion and climate change, recent civil society organizations’ (CSOs) strategies seem to address only parts of the current challenges the world faces. Different and partly new modes of learning, organization and innovation are emerging on the agenda of several CSOs operating in the field of sustainability. The linkages in between the CSO

New social movements in South Africa could play a prominent role in mobilizing the communities to reflect critically and address the repercussions of the neo-liberal agenda, i.e. perpetuating the exclusion of under-educated adults and provision of poor quality education. Few studies especially from the perspective of the activists leave a potential research area of a very interesting phenomenon of

Article 28 is one of the key Treaty Articles concerning the integration of national markets. But finding the right way to apply Article 28 is far from being easy, as history shows. The ECJ has not been consistent in its case law on Article 28 EC. The main problem in its approach in the application of Article 28 has been the wideness of the Dassonville-formula, which by its wording catches smallest

This qualitative study is about how individual supportive conversation between school welfare officers and pupils in upper secondary school is carried out. The major interest of the study was to explore the problems that school welfare officers have during forced or involuntary supportive conversations with pupils, and how those problems can be understood and solved with the concept of strategies.

Many minority groups are subjected to discrimination in today’s society. The reasons behind this unfair treatment are often based upon morally irrelevant grounds. These grounds are in most cases shared by all the members of the minority group. The focal points of this essay are in the court cases that concern affirmative action at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Lund University

The main purpose of this thesis is to uncover the relationship that exists between the formation of purchase intentions and the factors that influence the process of intent formation; a specific focus will be given to the discovery of the impact of negative eWOM within a consumer’s pre purchase decision context. The thesis uses an inductive and qualitative design. The authors propose and apply two

The aim of our study was to examine how the staff at community residences handles the residents’ right and ability to make choices and decisions regarding their health, in relation to their disability. We investigated this through semi-structured interviews. Our population consisted of 7 staff members from 4 different community residences, in 3 municipalities in Skåne, Sweden. We constructed an in

The objective of this study was to compare practitioners’ perspectives of the therapeutic relationship established face to face and online in order to add a broader understanding of the therapeutic relationship and whether a new context did highlight new aspects of therapy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine psychotherapists in Greece: five of them worked face to face and four onl

During reconnaissance field work in the westernmost part of Vestranden, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway, some eclogitic rocks were found (by Leif Johansson and Charlotte Möller). They are of interest, because until now, eclogites have not been found in this northern part of the Western Gneiss Region. It is important to consider these rocks in the evolutionary context of the entire Western Gneiss Region. Th

The Office du Niger is the most important rice production area in Mali. It plays an important role in ensuring food security for the country‟s rapidly growing population. In order for the Office du Niger rice sector to keep supplying consumers with sufficient amounts of rice, an efficient market channel (i.e. the chain through which the rice must pass from producer to final consumer) is needed. I
