Quality assurance is crucial for producers of drinking water, and several steps are taken to ensure a safe and aesthetically acceptable drinking water. Monitoring the microbiological quality of drinking water, both finished and within the drinking water treatment plants, is done through cultivation-based techniques. These techniques can take up several days before results can be seen, and quicker

Unlike most bacteria, Streptomyces grows by extending branching hyphae, forming a mycelium that resembles fungal growth more than typical prokaryotic behaviour. This growth strategy leads to questions about how bacteria control cell shape, polarity, and development in a multicellular context. While many regulatory systems involved in Streptomyces development have been described, others remain poor

This thesis investigates how AI-generated music challenges traditional systems of cultural legitimacy, identity, and musical taste. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of cultural fields and symbolic capital, and supplemented by Simon Frith’s insights into authenticity and identity performance, the study examines how emerging technologies reconfigure creative authority within platform-driven environments

Objective To investigate the relationship between active commuting and atherosclerosis in middle age using state-of-the-art coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Methods This cross-sectional study used data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) and included 23 722 randomly recruited individuals aged 50–64 years from six different regions in Sweden. The exposure was commuting mode, ass

Questions: Earth observation is an important tool in biological monitoring. Previous studies have shown that variation in grassland canopy reflectance can explain gradients in plant community composition. However, there is a need for methods that allow the interpretation of the overall spectral signal of complex grassland vegetation in terms of existing knowledge about individual species' habitat

Neophobia, or aversion to novelty, is important for adaptability and survival as it influences the ways in which animals navigate risk and interact with their environments. Across individuals, species and other taxonomic levels, neophobia is known to vary considerably, but our understanding of the wider ecological drivers of neophobia is hampered by a lack of comparative multispecies studies using

This doctoral thesis investigates mediaeval earthenware production, distribution and consumption based on material from Lund, Sweden, moving beyond simple technological shifts to explore the interplay of material factors, social practices, and economic influences. It presents a typology of hard greyware, redware and glazed redware, as well as the chemical analysis of circa 400 samples. The study a

Amelogenin self-assembly is a critical step in enamel matrix organization, supporting the spatial confinement of transient ACP and orchestrating hydroxyapatite nucleation and ordered growth. Studies have demonstrated that amelogenin self-assembles into nanoribbons by forming an amyloid-like structure that matches the cross-β pattern observed in the developing enamel matrix. However, molecular dete

Wind energy is an important form of clean energy, and its rational utilization represents a crucial solution for mitigating the energy crisis and global warming. In this study, wind energy potential and its long-term changes in the South China Sea (SCS) are evaluated using ERA5 100 m wind data from 1944 to 2023, validated against ASCAT observations. High wind speeds and high wind power density (WP

Spatial compositional data with exact zeros arise in many applicationsbut remain challenging for models that often assume strictly positivecomponents. We develop a Bayesian spatial model that combines theDirichlet Composition Distribution, which accommodates exact zeros throughcomponent-specific zero probabilities, with a Gaussian Markov random field representationof the latent compositional field

The Thesis examines how political news satire functions within Armenia's hybrid political regime by analysing ArmComedy, a well-known satirical show. Current scholarship on political satire mostly focuses on Western, developed democracies and examines effect-based questions of knowledge, mobilisation, engagement, and participation, leaving a gap in understanding how political satire functions

Material traceability is an important part of industrial manufacturing, especially in systems where quality, reliability, and documentation requirements are high. In many companies, traceability is often assumed to already exist because there are certificates, ERP systems, production documents, and established routines. However, during this study, it became clear that having information available

This thesis investigates how existing urban environments can be adapted to strengthen climate resilience and improve everyday access to urban rest within dense cities. Urban rest is understood as restorative conditions within the everyday urban environment, where opportunities for pause, recovery, and social interaction can occur across both public and semi-private spaces. The thesis identifies an

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the associations between impaired spirometry such as obstructive pattern and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and occurrent cardiovascular events and deaths in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: Cohort study of 517 patients with age ≥40 years and ≥10 pack-years of smoking, hospitalized for myocardial infarction at eig

This thesis examines how Swedish legal and administrative frameworks governing LKAB’s mining operations have historically produced and reproduced the invisibility of Sámi land use, and how these patterns of exclusion continue to be mobilized within contemporary green transition justifications. Drawing on settler colonial theory and anopticism, the study argues that Sámi exclusion within Swedish re
