CMC Tori in the Generalised Berger Spheres and their Duals

The study of minimal surfaces has a long history, due to the important applications. Given a fixed boundary, one wants to minimise the surface area: this can be used, for example, to minimise the area of the roof of a building. Similarly, looking for constant mean curvature (CMC) provides us with many interesting applications in physics – one of the easiest examples are soap bubbles. In this work

Particle Detection in Bone Marrow Using CNNs and Transformer Networks

The critical role of hematological stem cells, concentrated in bone marrow, in disease diagnosis makes the detection of these cells an imperative task. The current process, however, is slow and heavily reliant on expert interpretation, underscoring the need for automation. In this thesis, we collected a 20x microscopy dataset of real and fake bone marrow particles and fine-tuned several CNNs and T

The Battle of Trafalgar and its impact on the economic policies of France and Great Britain during the Napoleonic wars

The Napoleonic wars have been extensively analyzed, revealing their significant economic aspects. This thesis adopts an economic history perspective to explore the Battle of Trafalgar’s impact on the economic policies of France and Great Britain. Through a literature analysis and theoretical framework of economic warfare, war finance and Mercantilist theory, this thesis sheds light on the battle’s

Eroding Sands of Affordable Housing: Exploring coastal property market and perceptions of neighbourhood change

This study examines the burgeoning patterns of the phenomenon of new-build gentrification. This phenomenon reflects a social justice imbalance, where affluence takes precedence over equitable access and the interests of economically vulnerable groups, in shaping urban spaces. While economic and environmental sustainability have been prioritized in urbanization goals, the social dimensions, includi

The Narcissists Wallet: The Nexus between Narcissism and Financial Decision-Making among Aspiring Entrepreneurs

This study examines how grandiose narcissism affects the resource acquisition of aspiring entrepreneurs. The study's results help bridge a gap in the literature and provide a better understanding of the nexus between narcissism and entrepreneurial finance. By drawing on previous literature from both fields, we set out to explore the relationship between narcissism and an individual’s preferenc

Investigating The Role Of Tumour Suppressor Genes In Salamander Regeneration And Tumorigenesis Through CRISPR Screens

Looking At Tumour Suppressor Genes Of A Tumour Resistant Species Salamanders like Pleurodeles waltl are tailed amphibians capable of regenerating complex structures like entire organs and limbs. Therefore, they are great models to study the process of regeneration. Regeneration involves cells of the injured tissue going through a lot of growth, division, and migration to reconstruct the original

Att tala utan att erkänna - En kvalitativ studie om användandet av neutraliseringstekniker inom ekonomisk brottslighet respektive våldsbrottslighet

Kunskap om hur tilltalade i svenska rättegångar rationaliserar och förklarar sina handlingar har i begränsad mån identifierats i tidigare forskning på området neutraliseringstekniker. Komparativa studier på ämnet i svensk kontext har inte identifierats, vilket resulterar i begränsad kunskap om hur rationalisering av brottsliga handlingar ter sig mellan brottstyper i Sverige. En adekvat förståelse

Title: Improving charging scheduling of public transport electric buses Authors: Anna Hassler & Franz Bamberg Supervisor: Johan Marklund, Lund University Background: This thesis focuses on a Swedish BTO that operates EB fleets. For companies investing in electrification, record-high and volatile electricity prices, present challenges and creates a need to improve the charging scheduling of

Thinking beyond sustainability

In recent years, regeneration has come to the attention as a better alternative to sustainability. However, with increased popularity and its vagueness around what regeneration entails, there is a need to grasp the concept better. The researchers differentiate regeneration from sustainability, highlighting that sustainability focuses on taking responsibility, while regeneration aims to create addi

The effects of large-scale nutrition Interventions on Early Childhood and Neonatal Outcomes: evidence from Brazil

This study exploits the introduction of a new prioritization criteria for food security interventions to estimate the marginal impact of such programs. Findings indicate that, in municipalities assigned to receive nutrition policies more intensely, the number of children receiving micronutrient supplements was higher. In addition, being prioritized was associated with a very small improvement in n

Kommunikationsförmåga hos barn med cerebral pares: En registerstudie

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur skattad nivå i Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) förändras mellan tre skattningstillfällen (2018-2020-2022) för barn med cerebral pares i åldrarna 0–18 år. Syftet var även att undersöka hur mycket av variansen i förändringen av CFCS-nivå som kunde förklaras av ålder och användandet av tal som kommunikationssätt. Metod: Data inhämtadAim: The aim of this study was to investigate how Classification of Communicative Functioning System (CFCS) level changed between three measurements (2018-2020-2022) for children with cerebral palsy aged 0 to 18 years. The aim was also to investigate how the variance in change of CFCS level could be explained by age and use of speech as communication method. Method: Data were obtained using the S

Vårdpersonals attityd till journalsystem i Region Skåne: En kvalitativ studie av attityden till nuvarande och kommande journalsystem

I takt med den digitala utvecklingen inom hälso- och sjukvården står Region Skåne inför en betydande förändring, nämligen implementeringen av ett nytt digitalt vårdsystem, Skånes digitala vårdsystem (SDV), planerat till 2025.

Chefers attityder mot äldre anställda: en explorativ studie i det privata näringslivet

I takt med att den förväntade livslängden ökar ställs nya krav på arbetsmarknaden. För få personer ska försörja vår äldre befolkning och för att lösa detta måste vi arbeta till en högre ålder. Chefer har en avgörande roll och därför har denna studie syftat till att undersöka chefers attityder mot sina äldre arbetstagare, samt hur de ser på möjligheter till ett förlängt arbetsliv. Syftet var även aAs life expectancy increases, new demands are placed on the labor market. There are too few people to support our aging population, and to address this issue, we need to work until an older age. Managers play a crucial role, which is why this study aimed to examine managers' attitudes toward their older employees and their views on opportunities for extended working lives. The aim was also to
