In this study, a hydrochemical and biological investigation, and a vulnerability assessment were conducted on the Los Bambinos aquifer during the spring of 2020. A literature study on previous studies conducted in the area was also made. This aquifer is located on the southwestern slope of the Barva volcano, northeast of Alajuela, Costa Rica. The hydrochemical investigation found the groundwater t
Kostnadsbesparingar är en central del i många företag däremot skapar den osäkerheter i försörjningskedjan ifall en plötslig kris uppkommer. Med ett växande konsumtionssamhälle ställer kunder allt mer krav på försörjningskedjan och konstant tillgång till livsmedel. Produktionsföretag och deras ledning måste därför kunna möta kundernas krav och deras efterfrågan allt snabbare. Viss litteratur belyse
In dense urban areas, the need for greenery increases, yet the total amount of green space in many Swedish cities decreases. Vegetation can create attractive environments, improve the micro-climate and the cities’ climate adaptation, but it also risks impairing cyclists' traffic safety. Vegetation can impair visibility, reduce the width of infrastructure, leaves can lead to slipperiness and ob
Residents living in small towns that are a part of a bigger municipality may sometimes feel overlooked as they sense that they have lesser influence. Smaller towns may not have the resources or consider the need for integrating technology with the town, thus possibly making it harder for the residents to stay updated and be in contact with the town. By focusing on the residents' needs, a digit
The urge for more sustainable and environmental-friendly transportation has never been as high as it is today. The demand will probably continue to increase as the knowledge about climate change continues to widen and as the expectations, of mitigation and adaptation measures, intensifies. One sector that is in great need of taking more mitigation and adaptation measures is the transport sector. T
RF-switches are key components in many electronic devices as they enable routing of higher frequency signals. Increasing demands on device performance requires new technologies as well as new approaches to designs of circuits. III-V nanowire MOSFETs are a promising device technology well suited for implementation of switches. This work investigates the design trade-off's for III-V nanowire MO

The main purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how hydrogeological conditions are affecting the local water resources in Carrizal on the Barva Volcano, Costa Rica. Hydrogeological investigations of spring characteristics, soil infiltration rates and water flow in springs and rivers were conducted at the study area in Costa Rica as part of a Minor Field Study (MFS). A statistic
Mexico will need to provide about 26 million housing units by 2030 and it is only through the understanding of the current situation and the awareness of the main challenges that affect the housing problems, that appropriate responses to the context can be proposed. By providing decent, secure and affordable housing, social problems can be reduced improving health and security, local economies can
Based on the feasibility study [4], the goal of this master thesis is to compile custom firmware for the XM112 Pulsed Coherent Radar Module, which features a state of the art radar sensor integrated with a microcontroller unit (MCU). This allows the use of custom firmware to check the plausibility of real-time data processing on the radar signals and will lay some of the groundwork for further dev
The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressur
The purpose of this study is to take part in municipal inspectors' experience and perceptions regarding the implementation of waste prevention measures in their daily work. A qualitative interview study, in order to identify areas of improvements and failures in the work of improving waste prevention in the municipality's operations.The hope was to see any differences and similarities for
Denna studie fokuserar på en sedimentsekvens som hämtats från Odensjön, i Söderåsens nationalpark i Skåne, södra Sverige. Den undersökta sekvensen, som täcker de översta 86 cm av sedimenten, är unik på grund av dess väldigt tydliga årsvarv, som har möjliggjort en precis datering (Hertzman in prep.). Tilläggsvis, den stora mängden välbevarade Fagus sylvatica-blad synliga i sedimenten yngre än cirkaThis study focuses on a sediment sequence retrieved from Lake Odensjön, positioned within Söderåsen National Park in Scania, southern Sweden. The investigated sequence, covering the uppermost 86 cm of sediments, is unique due to its very distinct annual varves, which have allowed for precise dating (Hertzman in prep.). In addition, the large amount of well-preserved Fagus sylvatica leaves visible
This paper examines to what extent a government decision concerning a debated climate issue was a result of the efforts of a climate justice campaign. In 2017, a campaign organisation was launched under the name ‘Fossilgasfällan’, and two and a half years later the Swedish government essentially met their most important demand. I argue that this was very likely indeed a consequence of a sustained
Kroppsliga symtom som hänger samman med psykologiska faktorer är vanligt förekommande och utgör en stor utmaning för hälso- och sjukvård. Tidigare forskning har visat enkla samband mellan svåra upplevelser under barndomen, alexitymi, svårigheter med emotionsreglering och kroppsliga symtom. Syftet med den aktuella studien var att studera dessa variabler tillsammans och undersöka huruvida alexitymi Somatic symptoms are commonly associated with psychological factors, and their management presents considerable challenge to healthcare systems. Past research has shown simple associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), alexithymia, emotion regulation difficulties, and somatic symptoms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the aforementioned variables simultaneously, while a
Den aktuella studiens syfte var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan upptagenhet av kost och träning och fyra psykologiska faktorer: hälsoångest, självkänsla, känsla av sammanhang och kroppsuppfattning, då psykiskt välmående som begrepp är alltför mångfacetterat. Ett ytterligare syfte var att undersöka om upptagenhet av kost och träning skiljde sig åt beroende på specifika egenskaper hos The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there are connections between preoccupation with diet, and exercise, and four psychological factors: health anxiety, self-esteem, sense of coherence, and body image, since psychological well- being is a broadly used term. Another aim was to examine whether the preoccupation with diet, and exercise differed depending on some specific character
This thesis investigates Automatic Text Summarization and how it can be used to generate summaries of patent documents. The purpose of the generated summary was to convey the patent document’s subject so that the reader could decide whether the patent document is relevant and should be read in full or could be discarded. This, in order to reduce the time patent attorneys need to spend reading full
Lund University have for over ten years been using a website called LUP Student Papers where they publish theses from bachelor and master courses. The aim of this thesis is to use visualizations and data mining techniques that will explore and shows interesting aspects of the data. The wide variety of variables in the dataset can be used to gain insight regarding several interesting questions such
Genom en socialsemiotisk multimodal analys tillsammans med en queerteoretisk ansats syftar denna uppsats till att ge nya insikter till fältet för strategisk kommunikation, marknadsföring och icke-stereotypisk reklam. Reklam har länge använt sig av stereotypa framställningar vilket är problematiskt eftersom det bygger på generaliserande antaganden av personer och grupper. Eftersom reklam har stor m
