The aim of this thesis is to investigate why the municipality of Lund has not done more, in relation to LundaMaTs, to inform and promote the purchasing of organic provisions to the public. This is of interest since it is determined in the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 that the current unsustainable production and consumption patterns need to change. The local authorities play an important role
Today Cape Verde is considered a good example and at the forefront in prosperity development compared to other Sub-Saharan African countries, and since Cape Verde recently made stricter legislation in gender based violence, the aim of this study has been to analyze why reports of domestic violence against women in Cape Verde have increased. I have done research in three key areas: local environmen
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) constitutes a crucial phenomenon in biological self-organization, not only intervening in the formation of membraneless organelles but also triggering pathological protein aggregation, which is a hallmark in neurodegenerative diseases. Employing incoherent quasi-elastic neutron spectroscopy (QENS), we examine the short-time self-diffusion of a model protein un

Job satisfaction brings creativity and involvement, which in turn lead to good work results and a favourable study situation. A positive work environment is an important condition for such a development. Another condition is fellowship and comfort. However, a positive work environment cannot be administered with rules. It is created by the participation and sense of responsibility of every person

Parasites may influence the outcome of interspecific competition between closely related host species through lower parasite virulence in the host with which they share the longer evolutionary history. We tested this idea by comparing the prevalence of avian malaria (Haemosporidia) lineages and their association with survival in pied and collared flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca and F. albicollis)
BACKGROUND: Propofol, a popular intravenous (iv) anaesthetic induction agent for brief cases or day surgery, is associated with smooth induction, pleasant sleep, rapid recovery and little postoperative nausea. A major disadvantage is pain at the site of injection. The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of simultaneous iv infusion of carrier fluid on propofol-induced local pain.
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to hypothesize that value-driven purchasing of customized kitchen cabinets is more profitable than market-driven purchasing in industrialised housing construction. The hypothesis is examined through a case study of kitchen carpentry at one of the Sweden's largest producers of industrialised prefabricated multi-storey housing. By comparing characteristics of m
This essay aims to examine whether there is a partisan influence on local government spending using three different measures, ideology, fragmentation and constellations of government. The ideology measure examines the share of socialists (left-wing parties) in the council. Fragmentation consists of a Herfindahl index which uses information on number of parties in the council and their respective s
In this study, we present the solvothermal synthesis of LuPO4:Pr3+ (1%) nanocrystals in a dimethyl sulfoxide-water solvent system. The as-prepared nanocrystals exhibit a relatively high degree of crystallinity, along with significant short-range disorder, particularly in the anionic sublattice, as revealed by XRD and Raman spectroscopy data. Low temperature luminescence spectroscopy under VUV exci
Lack of reliable information on the status of species often leads managers to exclusively rely on experiential knowledge, opinions or perceptions, usually derived from personnel associated with natural resource management agencies. Yet, the accuracy of these sources of information remains largely untested. We approached this challenge, which is particularly common for wildlife monitoring programs
There is scientific consensus today on the importance of local climate work. Many studies have investigated the mechanisms behind effective climate work and what makes some cities and large municipalities the frontrunners in driving progressive climate agendas. While this area of local climate work is well researched there is little research about how climate work looks like in small (non-rural) m
The purpose of this thesis has been to investigate the liturgical practices of the Paschal candle in five different congregations within the Church of Sweden, and to analyse the underlying reasons for those practices; how and when is the Paschal candle used within the liturgy, and how is its usage interpreted and motivated by the congregations’ ministers and sextons? The thesis bases its findings
The focal point of this project is the interaction between the human individual and nature. It all started with a wish to study the role of architecture outside of urban contexts and bigger systems of urban strategy, segregation and densification. In order to do so, I chose to work with a location in nature that has made a particularly strong impression on me: the southern esker of Kåseberga. This
Alpine ecosystems harbor remarkably diverse and distinct plant communities that are characteristically limited to harsh, and cold climatic conditions. As a result of thermal limitation to species occurrence, mountainous ecosystems are considered to be particularly sensitive to climate change. Our understanding of the impact of climate change is mainly based on vascular plants however, whereas cryp
RATIONALE: Improved ventilation strategies have been the mainstay for reducing mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Their unique clinical effectiveness is, however, unmatched by our understanding of the underlying mechanobiology, and their impact on alveolar dynamics and gas exchange remains largely speculative.OBJECTIVES: To assess changes in alveolar dynamics and associated effects
