The basal forebrain cholinergic system as target for cell replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease

In recent years there has been a renewed interest in the basal forebrain cholinergic system as a target for the treatment of cognitive impairments in patients with Parkinson's disease, due in part to the need to explore novel approaches to treat the cognitive symptoms of the disease and in part to the development of more refined imaging tools that have made it possible to monitor the progressive c

Relational Work in Rural Tourism Enterprising: Navigating In-between the Formal and the Informal

Small-scale tourism enterprises are central actors in the rural labour market as facilitators of job opportunities, sustained business relationships, collaborations, and the development of resilient work relationships. These enterprises navigate in a market characterised by social and economic complexity where work is performed by a diverse workforce. The relational work performed in such enterpri

The Leaky Home : Conceptualising the Remote Control of Smart Technologies in the Domestic Sphere

Today many homes are accessible from afar, with mobile phones functioning as remote controls for technologies within the home. In this article we propose the ‘leaky home’ as a conceptual figure to understand how automated homes that leak through connected devices and sensors that collect, transmit, receive and share data are experienced and sensed by bodies within these distributed spaces. The lea

Reimagining Species Relations : A Decade of Studying and Teaching Critical Animal Studies at Lund University

The year 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of the course Critical Animal Studies: Animals in Society, Culture and the Media at the Department of Communication and Media at Lund University. As the first initiative of its kind in Sweden, the course explores the shifting roles and positions of non-human animals in today’s complex societies. It aims to equip students with analytical tools to critically

How is the use of AI in auditing perceived by auditors in social media ?

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to critically evaluate posts/comments collected from social media on AI auditing to analyze how auditors perceive the application of AI in the auditing industry currently. Methodology: We did qualitative research using content analysis to conduct our research. We scraped posts/comments from Reddit, Quora, and Weibo for information collection purposes. We used

A Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Transistor as An Ultra-Scaled Cell for Low-Power In-Memory Data Processing

Compact in-memory computing architectures are desirable to embed artificial intelligence (AI) in resource-restricted edge devices. However, current technologies face limitations in both the area and energy efficiency. Here, a reconfigurable ferroelectric tunnel field-effect transistor (ferro-TFET) is presented that can be used as an ultra-scaled cell for low-power in-memory data processing. A gate

Labour In-Between Gift And Commodity – Reproducing And Resisting Precarity In The Digital Games Industry

The paper investigates the phenomenon of double exploitation in ’passionate work’, where workers are exploiting themselves in their dedication to work and colleagues, simultaneously as being exposed to exploitation by employers and the industry at large. The study is based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with game developers employed in the Swedish digital games industry.

Scoping of Sustainable Packaging for Carbonated Drinks

The modern food packaging industry faces significant challenges due to its heavy reliance on virgin materials, contributing to increased litter and waste. This thesis explores the environmental impacts of using virgin materials in food packaging, with a particular focus on carbonated beverages. It examines the unique sustainability challenges associated with different packaging materials, includin

Hiding the Machine: Stories, Rights and the Naturalisation of Corporate Technology

This paper tells two stories about corporations. The first story can be called ‘the nexus of contracts’ story, the second, ‘the entrepreneur’ story. Each of these stories was developed and refined by different groups of scholars over specific periods of time and responded to growing concerns about the size and power of corporations, concerns which motivated calls for greater regulation. These stor

Playing Smart: Navigating Entrepreneurial Marketing through an indirect audience

This study explores entrepreneurial marketing (EM) and resource based view (RBV) in the context of indirect customer relationship creation in the children's products industry, specifically focusing on how firms navigate regulated markets. Through qualitative, in-depth interviews with business actors, the research has unearthed strategies companies employ to ethically and effectively engage an

Covid as a catalyst? Exploring gendered parenthood and work-family development through the pandemic

Att bli förälder är en stor omställning i livet och kan förändra arbetssituationen, relationer och den egna personliga utvecklingen. Föräldraskap upplevs ofta som starkt könsbundet och kvinnor över hela världen tar på sig mer hushållsarbete och barnomsorg än män, även i Sverige. Trots att Sverige har en generös och könsneutral föräldraledighet finns det fortfarande ojämlikheter i hur föräldrar hanThis thesis explored gendered parenthood and parents’ experiences of their work- family interface through the COVID-19 pandemic. This thesis draws on decades of analysis of gendered labor division, father involvement, and the work-family interface to understand developments and tensions before the pandemic. It then positions the pandemic as a global ‘developmental event’ due to the restrictions im

Pollinator effectiveness and pollination dependency of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) in Swedish hemi-boreal forests

Intensification of forest management to increase production of biomass has resulted in considerable habitat degradation with negative impacts on insect biodiversity, including beneficial insect groups such as pollinators. Yet, little is known about how reliant forest understory plants, such as bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), are on insect pollinators for reproduction. Here, we quantified the struc

Testing an hypothesis of hybrid zone movement for toads in France

Hybrid zone movement may result in substantial unidirectional introgression of selectively neutral material from the local to the advancing species, leaving a genetic footprint. This genetic footprint is represented by a trail of asymmetric tails and displaced cline centres in the wake of the moving hybrid zone. A peak of admixture linkage disequilibrium is predicted to exist ahead of the centre o
