Detaljerade data är avgörande vid karaktärisering av komplexa förorenade områden. I denna studie utrustar vi ett antal G360-brunnssystem med Star-Oddi milli-TD-tryckgivare i ett mestadels PCE (tetrakloretylen)- och TCE (trikloretylen)-förorenat bostadsområde i Helsingborg. Trots att dessa tryckgivare vanligtvis används inom marina undersökningar gör deras kostnad samt kompakta storlek dem av intreHigh-detailed data are key when characterizing complex contaminated sites. In this study we instrument Star-Oddi milli-TD pressure transducers in G360 multilevel groundwater monitoring systems within a mainly PCE (tetrachloroethylene) and TCE (trichloroethylene) contaminated residential area in Helsingborg, Sweden. Despite these transducers being typically utilized in marine research, their afford

The otter (Lutra lutra) is a cryptic, semi-aquatic mustelid, with several uncertainties regarding its ecology and reproductive success in Sweden. To ensure future conservation, distribution and population estimates are needed and the ecological knowledge gaps must be filled in. This study aimed to examine three ecological factors possibly related to the occurrence and distribution of the Scanian o

This thesis explores whether throat cancer can be detected from voice recordings using statistical methods in the context of mobile health applications. It focuses on two main questions: Can throat cancer be detected from voice recordings? and Which data features and models perform best in this task? To investigate these questions, acoustic features were extracted from patient recordings and analy

The increasing dominance of tech giants and the emergence of new digital markets have increased the relevance of Article 102 TFEU, yet the article’s enforcement mechanisms have not kept pace with the market’s rapid developments. In August of 2024, the European Commission responded to this need for more efficient enforcement by publishing its Draft Guidelines on the exclusionary abuse of dominance

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

The discussion of human activities exploiting natural resources and their environmental impact has gained more traction throughout the past decade. Especially the role corporations play in these developments has caused a shift within corporate strategic considerations. As a result, today, many companies assume increasing responsibility to improve their sustainability performance. Large, internatio

The measures to mitigate and adapt to global warming constitute fundamental changes to human- environmental interactions and peoples' deep-rooted habits and lifestyles. However, tools to deal with climate change have varying impacts on groups constituting society, leading to different climate change- related attitudes and behaviors. This thesis examines differences depending on individuals'

Title: Digitalisation of sourcing processes – A case study at Axis Communications Authors: Elaine Nilsson & Josefine Westberg Supervisor: Karin Forsberg, Commodity Manager, Axis Communications AB Daisy Wang, Project Purchaser, Axis Communications AB Louise Bildsten, Department of Industrial Management & Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Examiner: Jan Olhager, Departmen

In the exhibition space of a museum, a compromise between the requirements for the preservation of cultural goods and thermal comfort criteria for visitors has to be applied. Such a high level of control without allowing fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity poses a big challenge to the air conditioning systems to maintain these very specific hygrothermal conditions. This study present

Citizens concerned about climate change could represent a potential for changes in everyday travel behaviour in a less carbon intensive way, or even put public pressure on governmental decisions to mitigate climate change emissions from the transport sector. Situated in the context of rural residents’ everyday life in Denmark, this study explores how the role of climate change concerns within resi

The pharmaceutical industry uses animal models in a variety of settings including safety, pharmacodynamic modelling and efficacy. Conventionally, a frequentist design of standard animal experiments of human asthma replication includes repeatedly running treatment groups with the exact layout, focusing on effect size rather than capturing historical data of animal responses on compounds of interest

Research aim: The thesis aims to research how higher education professionals perceive internal communication as a mean for knowledge-sharing within their workplace, and how it can support organizational learning. Theoretical framework and literature review: The theoretical framework applied, address and discuss the connection between internal communication, organizational learning, single- and do

During recent years, the topic of corporate social responsibility has received a lot of attention. Within the field of research, the responsibilities of corporations have been discussed for decades, but no common ground and definition of the concept is in place. In today’s business context where the threat of climate change and other environmental challenges is growing, neither businesses nor cons

Människans minne är extraordinärt i sin förmåga att lagra stora mängder information men är samtidigt sårbart för förvrängningar och fel. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigmet har i stor utsträckning använts för att undersöka förekomsten av falska minnen. Forskning har visat att deltagare ofta felaktigt identifierar semantiskt relaterade, men ej presenterade ord, så kallade “kritiska lockord” sHuman memory is extraordinary in its ability to retain vast amounts of information, yet it remains fallible, susceptible to distortion and error. The Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm has been widely used to study false memories, demonstrating that participants often falsely recognize semantically related, but non-presented, “critical lure” words as previously studied. This study focuses on

This thesis explores how second-hand clothing shopping contributes to the process of identity-making and social positioning among young adults in Germany and Hungary. Using the Consumer Culture Theory framework, the study investigates the social and cultural infrastructures that influence consumer behavior and emphasizes the symbolic meanings attached to second-hand shopping beyond traditional mot

This thesis explores the possible points of use for autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the last mile delivery context. Motivated by the growing demand for efficient, scalable and customer centric delivery solutions, this thesis identifies the pain points in last mile delivery and evaluates the AV features required for application in the last mile delivery. It employs a qualitative approach and incorpora

Under de senaste åren har utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens frodats och med sig tagit en förbättrad träffsäkerhet i taligenkänning. Däremot, liksom med alla snabba teknologiska utvecklingar har den sina brister, i det här fallet bristen på dialektal träningsdata. Den här uppsatsen undersöker om AI har en ojämnt fördelad förståelse av regionalt språk, med fokus på försummandet av de sydsvenskThe recent surge in the development of artificial intelligence has greatly improved the accuracy of automatic speech recognition. However, as with all abrupt technical improvements, it will have its weaknesses, in this case the lack of dialectal training data. This thesis investigates if AI has an unevenly distributed understanding of regional speech, focusing on the disregard of southern Swedish

Agricultural development is widely seen as crucial for poverty reduction and food security. However, the contribution of agricultural interventions to these goals has been mixed. This study evaluates how such interventions influence the livelihood strategies of Ugandan smallholder farmers. By combining insights from the Sustainable Livelihoods and Dynamic Livelihood Strategies Frameworks, a theore
