The Hummeln structure has been subject to geological investigations for nearly two centuries. The odd occurrence of Paleozoic blocks and a circular depth-anomaly in the otherwise fault dominated lake sparked plenty of theories. It was however not until 2015 that findings of shocked quartz could confirm that the structure originat- ed from a hypervelocity impact event. The present study is the firs
Pesticides or plant protection products (PPP) protect plants from harmful organisms and prevent the spread of invasive species. However, their use is not without problems, as pesticides can have harmful effects on the environment. One of these effects is reduced biodiversity, as pesticides often affect non-target organisms and change water and soil composition. Reduced diversity through the cleari
The aim of this study was to explore social workers’ experiences with the assessment tool UngDOK at Maria clinics in Skane. The past 30 years has seen a rise in popularity of evidence based practices and increased requirements for scientific evidence of the effects of various treatments. Several manual based evaluation and assessment instruments have been implemented in the field of social work in
Matsvinn är ett problem med miljömässiga, ekonomiska och sociala konsekvenser. Nära en tredjedel av maten som produceras i världen idag kastas eller förstörs, något som är ohållbart av en mängd anledningar. Ett forskningsprojekt som drivs för att åtgärda detta är DynahMat-projektet på Lunds Universitet. DynahMat föreslår användandet av temperaturindikatorer och andra sensorer för att beräkna en prFood waste is a problem with environmental, economic and societal aspects. Up to a third of global food production is wasted every year, something that is unsustainable in many ways. Much research is currently being done to alleviate the problem. The DynahMat project at Lund University proposes using temperature indicators and sensor technology to improve food supply chains and provide a more accu
Hassles and uplifts, a concept used in measuring daily stress events, was applied to working mothers' everyday life. The aim was to explore the stability in working mothers' experiences in patterns of daily occupations, operationalized as hassles and uplifts, between the year 2000 (baseline) and the year 2005 (follow-up). Further, the intention was to reveal possible differences in the number, ori
Energies with high-order non-submodular interactions have been shown to be very useful in vision due to their high modeling power. Optimization of such energies, however, is generally NP-hard. A naive approach that works for small problem instances is exhaustive search, that is, enumera- tion of all possible labelings of the underlying graph. We propose a general minimization approach for large gr
Building on a previous thesis, which focused on the historical emergence and transformations of different conceptions of so-called human rights cities (HRCs), this study focuses on the ramifications of operationalising the concept in practice in two cities on the Indonesian island Java. The thesis adopts sociological- and discursive new institutionalism as a point of departure for its analysis, lo
This essay aims to explore to what extent the municipality is able to influence the type of housing that is produced in new development projects, on the basis of adhering to the ambition of developing a socially sustainable housing supply. This is investigated through a case study of Brunnshög in the municipality of Lund. Interviews combined with analysis of planning documents as well as literatur
Sättet som världen presenterar sig för våra sinnesorgan är genom en kontinuerlig ström av information, men vår upplevelse av den är uppdelad i diskreta händelser. Enligt eventsegmenteringsteorin är den här segmenteringen en inbyggd och automatisk del av mänsklig kognition. Omfattande forskning ger inte bara stöd åt den här teorin utan tyder också på att sättet vi delar upp händelser påverkar vårt The world presents itself to our sense organs as a continuous stream of input, yet we appear to conceive experiences in terms of discrete events. According to event segmentation theory, this segmentation is an intrinsic and automatic component of human cognition. A considerable body of research provides evidence for this claim and suggests further that the way we segment events has consequences fo
Spent grain (BSG) is the solid residue obtained during brewing containing leftover malt and adjuncts. Though nutrient-dense, it is found to negatively impact texture and colour when used its raw form as an ingredient in food. Bio-processing presents an interesting method to alter the structure of BSG, rendering it a possible novel food ingredient to increase the nutrient capacity of products along
On 1 January 2016 the Sustainable Development Goals came into force, world leaders adopted them in 2015. After a long period of colonial oppression from the North sees the former colonies now have the opportunity to reach the same economic standards as their former colonial masters through industrial expansion. One of the problems that we discussed in this thesis is whether the South can continue
Although the EU has substantial influence over how and with what Swedish municipalities work, the national level still tends to be the point of departure for the EU cooperation and analysis thereof. This qualitative single case study intends to abandon that tradition through investigating the consequences of EU projects at the local administrative level. Due to a lack of earlier research about the
Nirvana is one of the biggest bands to come out of the 1990s rock scene, and one of their most well-known characteristics is their sound and style. With the combination of punk, pop and metal, they established themselves as a powerhouse in the Seattle grunge scene. One of the more interesting characteristics of their sound is their use of dynamics and transitions between quiet and loud. During thi
When the Muslim armies for the first time crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in 711 a prospering epoch of Moorish culture and science started in Southern Spain. In today´s Southern region of Spain, Andalucia, there are still to find impressive Moorish buildings and the Muslim-Andalusian spirit is still present generating emotional and religious impulses. This bachelor thesis in European Studies with
This paper revisits the development of the canonical Swedish wage bargaining model, from the 1930s to the 1950s. The question at the core of the debate is: how did Sweden achieve “good” wage bargaining institutions -- good, in the sense of facilitating investment, employment, and controlled inflation? The conventional account focuses on the actions of employers and trade unions in export industry,This paper revisits the development of the canonical Swedish wage bargaining model, from the 1930s to the 1950s.

Solid fuel fired fluidized bed (FB) boilers are common in combined heat and power (CHP) plants in district heating- and process industry. In this study, utilization of such FB boilers for production of syngas in dual fluidized bed gasifiers and subsequent catalytic biofuel production to substitute natural gas (SNG), methanol (MeOH) and Fischer-Tropsch fuel (FT) has been examined. Based on the hypo
We study relations among the side-chain asymmetry, structure, and order-disorder transition (ODT) in hairy-rod-type poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene) (PF6) with two identical side chains and atactic poly(9-octyl-9-methyl-fluorene) (PF1-8) with two different side chains per repeat. PF6 and PF1-8 organize into alternating side-chain and backbone layers that transform into an isotropic phase at TODT(PF6) and
OBJECTIVES: Increased vulnerability to stress has been suggested as a possible mechanism behind medically unexplained conditions such as sensitivity to electricity and common smells. This study examined whether subjective environmental annoyance among the general population is associated with increased physiological reactivity or subjective stress scores.METHODS: Four groups were studied (N=141):
Objective: To describe the longitudinal patterns of release, and investigate the association between a set of synovial fluid biomarkers at the acute and chronic stage and the development of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Design: Synovial fluid was aspirated from the acutely ACL-injured knee within the first 2weeks (acute samples), and yearly
While a dominant inheritance of breast cancer (vertical inheritance) is well known, less is known about a possible recessive inheritance (horizontal inheritance). In a clinical series of 1676 breast cancer patient's family history was scored as vertical (grandmother-aunt-mother-sister-daughter) or horizontal (sister-sister) and related to histopathological tumor type, presence of germline mutation
