Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. Flooding diminishes yields in mature palms, increases mortality in young palms, and disrupts operational processes. This reduces the ec
Thesis Purpose: This thesis aims to understand how a multitier private label portfolio is linked to the retailer brand image from a consumer perspective by using a case study of the Swedish grocery retailer ICA. Furthermore, we aim to comprehend the connection of the contained private labels in a multitier private label to the retailer brand image. Methodology: Based on an epistemological social c
The global need for recombinant proteins is continually growing. The world protein market was valued at 1.75 billion USD in 2021, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.00% between 2022 and 2030. Recombinant proteins have proven indispensable in numerous fields. Their versatility and effectiveness have positioned them as key components in developing innovative therapies, sustain
Sustainable development has led to a wave of new conceptualizations aiming to help to progress and accelerate the necessary transformation of our current systems against climate change. One of these recent concepts is the idea of transformative change that argues that a radical transformation of the economic, social, environment, cultural, and political/governance dimensions in our system need to

This thesis investigates a new type of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) architecture which combines a phase/frequency detector (PFD) and a digital loop filter. The quantization is done by a time-to-digital converter which continuously shrinks the pulse coming from the PFD and registers how far it propagates. Based on how far into the TDC each pulse propagates, the phase error is determined. The design is f
Insights from Big Data can become sources of competitive advantage and a foundation for decision-making, leading to an extended use of such technologies in many firms’ departments. Even if it is common practice to invest in BDA, oftentimes these techniques are not exploited correctly, resulting in an unrewarded effort by companies (Dahiya, Le, Ring & Watson, 2022). Research has contributed to
The advent of globalization has emphasized the importance of effective internationalization strategies for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies. This research seeks to explore the internal capabilities of FMCG firms, examining how they can be refined, developed, and utilized for more effective internationalization. The study fills a critical research gap by providing an in-depth understandi
The purpose of our study was to explore what it is like to have a distressing near-death experience (NDE) and the aftereffects that follow. Positive NDEs have previously been more extensively studied, whereas research about distressing NDEs is still lacking. There have only been a handful of studies that have used qualitative methods to study both distressing and positive NDEs. We accessed all dis
The MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility in Lund is designed to produce bright and high-energy X-ray radiation. One important component of achieving this is to keep the electron beam inside the storage rings centered and stable. The aim of this thesis was to develop an MPC (Model Predictive Control) that can accomplish this task more robustly than the currently commissioned I-controller. A contro
This master thesis was performed in collaboration with Orkla Foods Sweden AB. The aim of the study was to investigate rice pudding and how storage time affects the texture properties of the rice grains inside the pudding, and if this could be related to some of the properties of the raw rice. Rice pudding is produced by Orkla Foods under the label Risifrutti and is a popular in-between meal snack
The market for self-help books has rapidly expanded and gained influence over the last couple of years, partially due to social media users increasing the genres status on the book market. This essay will look at three different bestselling books within the genre: Atomic Habits, The Body Keeps the Score, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. It will analyse them using case studies and different
Med ökande koncentrationer av koldixodid i atmosfären är den globala uppvärmningen, samt klimatförändringarna ett kritiskt samhällsproblem. För att minska mängden utsläpp av koldioxid har koldioxidavskiljning presenterats som ett alternativ. Koldioxidavskiljning sker genom att rena avgaser från koldioxid för att sedan lagra det i jordskorpan, eller använda i kemiska processer. När tekniken appliceIn order to limit global warming, bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technologies are getting increased attention. To meet emission scenarios, an estimated 4000 carbon capture plants are expected to be required by 2030, indicating that progress in carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment is currently lagging behind expectation. Therefore novel technologies for carbon capture and stora
The purpose of this essay is to examine and analyze two characters from two different movies, one from the 1950s and one from the 2000s. The primary focus is to analyze how the characters are portrayed and the connection with their performance as dumb blondes. With the three chosen scenes from each movie they will be semiotically analyzed for the purpose of finding signs that can represent the ste
In October 2022, the European Commission announced a legislative proposal to make instant payments in euro available to all citizens with a bank account in the EU and EEA countries. When adopting new payment technologies, it can be challenging to balance security and convenience. Consideration must be given to whether compromised security is an unavoidable effect of instant payments or if both obj
The accumulation of carbon (C) within boreal forest biomass is an important component of the global carbon cycle. Whilst it is understood that old forests contain a large carbon stock, the continued sequestration of carbon in these forests is debated. Swedish forests today are intensively managed as even-aged monocultures with short rotation times and have historically been managed through selecti
Noise pollution generated by drones has in recent years become a concern for humans and wildlife and has in some regions resulted in regulatory backlash. This thesis investigates the possibilities of developing a low noise drone propeller using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. A commercial drone propeller from the manufacturer APC Propeller has been modified with different forms of
