This study explores the interplay between gender, gaming, and cultural memory through the case of Code: Kite, a Chinese female-oriented historical game that reimagines the Three Kingdoms era from a female perspective. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with eleven female players and analyzed through thematic analysis, the research examines how players perceive gender expression in the game, how
Since ancient times, public squares have played a significant role in the social and political life of towns and cities. They were designed as open spaces for public use, allowing people to meet, communicate, and demonstrate, and as centers for commercial and civic culture that reflected historical transformations. However, nowadays, public squares are often nearly abandoned urban voids, rather th
Cultural institutions such as museums and art galleries are important agents in educating the broader public on matters where current awareness is missing, inadequate or inaccurate. In this study, I focus on one such matter, which is the knowledge regarding ethnic minorities, their history, traditions, and current challenges. My primary focus is on how cultural institutions utilise their exhibitio
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is elusive and challenging to study. Recent reports indicate negative population trends in the Belt Sea population, which is found around the peninsula of Kullaberg in southern Sweden. In this study, the driving factors of the small-scale distribution of porpoises around Kullaberg were investigated by use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Over 17 weeks f
With the definite dialectic relationship between the fashion industry and models, this bachelor’s thesis seeks to research the usage of models’ body types in relation to two different fashion companies. These two companies consist of Très Bien and Zalando, which occupy different spaces of the larger fashion landscape, with Très Bien being a smaller and more alternative fashion company and Zalando
Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest freshwater lake by area shared by three countries: Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The lake supports the economic development of the region through transport and fishing as well as recreational and tourism activities in the three countries. The main ports on the lake are Kisumu, Mwanza, Bukoba, Entebbe, Portbell, and Jinja served by several train ferry services for b
With viral infections becoming an ever-increasing health problem in the world, the study of viral proteins is a cornerstone for understanding and preventing future pandemics. The following work shows the purification and structural characterization of the Influenza A M2 proton channel through solid-state NMR (ssNMR). Despite previously published structures of the M2 proton channel, the method of p
Architecture is always intrinsically tied to place. Regardless of how architects choose to interact with and study it, the context our buildings are meant to inhabit is an important piece of the puzzle. As the world is getting more interconnected and geographical constraints are getting less important to the architectural profession, I am interested in how the creative process changes when assumpt
Many of our freshwater resources are contaminated with pollutants such as heavy metals and organophosphates, and therefore the demand for reliable and efficient methods for detection and remediation of such pollutants is increasing. One widely used method for remediation of water is through the use of engineered communities of microbes that have the ability to degrade or make the contaminating com
The development of today’s energy-efficient dwellings often results in highly technical building solutions. We try to shield ourselves and our buildings as much as we can from the outdoors and subsequently loose an essential connection to the elements. Traditional design principals fall into oblivion and high-rise glass towers are justified with technological progress. By implementing selective st
This thesis investigates the climate impact of a newly constructed residential complex in Oceanhamnen, Helsingborg, through an extended life cycle assessment (LCA) covering both building and non-building elements such as road infrastructure, inner courtyards, external installations, that area often overlooked in conventional assessments. The aim is to develop a replicable method to quantify the gl
In carrying out foreign policy in the 21st century, it is indispensable for a global force such as the United States to focus on decisions made by the civil society. Particularly, by implementing foreign policy that balances between hard power and soft power diplomacy, the practices of the new public diplomacy enable nation-states to interact with the public culturally and personally by encouragin
Advanced features of modern mobile devices have made it possible to develop and use maps and map based applications for navigation purposes. Since most mobile map applications nowadays are developed for motor vehicles, there is a demand for portable pedestrian navigation applications. In this thesis the Android mobile map application with standard navigation tools for pedestrian navigation was dev
TGFα is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family and is one of the ligands for the EGF- receptor. The precursor of TGFα, pro-TGFα, is a transmembrane protein. The aim of this project has been to establish a model for studies of pro-TGFα effects on EGF receptor signalling, in particular through Gab1, a docking protein involved in PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. The experiments in this thes
Examensarbetet har gjorts på Nolato MediTech AB i Lomma via avdelning för Industriell produktion på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Syftet har varit att analysera flödet från att produkt lämnar maskin tills den lämnar fabriken, identifiera problem och hitta eventuella lösningar. Bakgrunden till examensarbetet är att Nolato MediTech AB verkar inom medicinteknik-branschen som en kontraktstillverkare där tiThe master thesis has been performed at Nolato MediTech AB in Lomma through the Division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund University. The purpose of the master thesis has been to analyze the internal flow of products from departure from the machine until the departure from the factory, identify problems and present solutions. The background of the thesis is that Nolato MediTech AB i
The Amazon Rainforest is in grave danger of disappearing for good, due to a number of harmful economic activities, including land conversion for cattle ranching and monoculture, as well as unsustainable and illegal timber production. It has been shown, however, that the private sector has a crucial role in redressing socio-economic problems, causing deforestation and degradation. To illustrate thi
Sandvik SRP has earlier studied a new way of calculating the cost in crushing and screening the results was a satisfactory, Sandvik SRP is now ready to go further in this study. The purpose of this study is further develop of the earlier adopted generic cost model earlier developed by Heyman and Lindström in order to calculate the cost per metric ton within the world of crushing and screening. By
The main aim of this thesis is to clarify the requirements for environmental impact assessments for onshore wind projects, and to investigate if these requirements differ between county administrative boards in Sweden. As a part of this challenges that the wind power companies and county administrative boards has too face are investigated, such as processing time and frequent complementaries. The
