Denna studie ämnar att redogöra potentialen för energigemenskaper i Näsby, Kristianstad. Detta utreds i arbetet genom att undersöka om lokalnätet kan avlastas, samt om elnätskunderna kan erhålla kostnadsbesparingar. Rapporten är ett examensarbete för en civilingenjörsexamen i maskinteknik på Lunds Tekniska Högskola, och utförs tillsammans med C4 Energi AB. Studien omfattar en litteraturstudie som The aim of this study is to examine the potential of energy communities in Näsby, Kristianstad, and more specifically the values they may provide the involved parties. This report is a Master’s thesis written at Lunds Tekniska Högskola, in collaboration with C4 Energi AB. The study involves a literature study with the purpose of determining in what form an energy community could be constructed in

Proteomic analysis can reveal substantial information about cells and cell types, including biomarkers that can be used to distinguish subpopulations. Established protocols include manual pipetting steps of cells that are both time consuming and problematic in terms of samples losses. In this study, a new “FACS-into-evotip” protocol for proteomic analysis was evaluated with the goal to automate sa

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by an aggressive progression. Emerging evidence suggests that the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), particularly tumor-infiltrating T cells, plays a key role in disease progression and prognosis for patients that are treated with modern combined immunotherapeutic regiments. Thus, the develop

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest

Amid a global housing crisis that leaves more than 1.6 billion people inadequately housed, dominant legal and policy frameworks still define “adequate housing” largely in terms of fixed outcomes such as tenure security, affordability, and habitability. This thesis argues that these lists overlook a critical dimension: people’s housing agency, the real freedom to shape their housing situation. Grou

A setup using two of the novel COMPEX composite Ge-detectors was assessed for its sensitivity for γ-ray polarisation studies. Two slightly different configurations were considered with angles of 90° and 180° between COMPEX 2 and COMPEX 3, using a standard calibration 60Co source. Measurements were performed with the two detectors in coincidence mode, and the resulting signals were digitised using

The immune cell population is essential for understanding the immune system’s reaction against the tumor. This study identified T cells and myeloid cells in human papillomavirus positive and negative tonsillar cancer biopsies via extracellular markers to investigate the biopsies’ composition, cellular neighborhood, and interactions. A detection method for tertiary lymphoid structure was developed.

Studien undersöker drivkrafterna bakom migrationen av tredjelandsmedborgare till Europa för arbete som lastbilschaufförer, samt deras arbets- och levnadsvillkor i Europa. Studien bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med åtta förare från tredjeland samt fältobservationer i Sverige, Danmark och Belgien. Datan visar att ekonomiska incitament, såsom högre löner och möjligheten att försörja familjer i hemlThe study explores the driving forces behind the migration of third-country nationals to Europe for employment as truck drivers, as well as their working and living conditions while in Europe. The study is based on qualitative interviews with eight drivers from non-EU countries and field observations conducted in Sweden, Denmark, and Belgium. The data show that economic incentives, particularly hi

This thesis explores how return policies are enacted and adapted in large-scale retail practice through the everyday work of employees. Using Social Practice Theory (SPT) as a theoretical framework, the study investigates how large-scale retail’s 365-day return policy is interpreted, negotiated, and performed by employees across different regional and organizational settings. While return managemen

Random access codes are a type of communication task that is widely used in quantum information science. The optimal average success probability that can be achieved through classical strategies is known for any random access code. However, only a few cases are solved exactly for quantum random access codes. In this paper, we provide bounds for the fully general setting of n independent variables,

Introduction: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are lymphocyte aggregates resembling secondary lymphoid organs and are pivotal in cancer immunity. The ambiguous morphological definition of TLS makes it challenging to ascertain their clinical impact on patient survival and response to immunotherapy. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize TLS in hematoxylin-eosin tissue sections from lung can

As the demand for secure software and hardware solutions increase in our modern digitalized society, the importance of reliable and cost-effective product testing is apparent. One such testing technique is fuzzing, which involves generating large amounts of malformed and randomized data to stress test system interfaces. This study aimed to compare traditional fuzzing methods to modern approaches a

The manufacturing of hardware is a complex process where many different types of parties are involved. This creates risks of inserting hidden harmful parts, so called Hardware Trojans (HTs). HTs can have many different functions, such as reducing security, leaking information or degrading a system. This thesis examines how Ring Oscillators (ROs) can be exploited by a malicious party and modified t

Koldioxid (CO2) är den viktigaste växthusgasen när det gäller klimatförändringar. För att förstå och minska våra utsläpp behöver vi noggranna metoder för att spåra var koldioxiden kommer ifrån och hur den rör sig i atmosfären. Idag används nationella utsläppsrapporter, men dessa bygger ofta på beräkningar från företag och organisationer som kan vara svåra att verifiera; särskild för mindre nationeCO2 is the most important greenhouse gas in terms of radiative forcing, and it is therefore highly important that we can track our emissions and the effectiveness of carbon sequestration measures. While the national carbon inventories can be highly accurate, there is general conflict of interest, as national carbon inventories are bottom up estimates in part based on self-reportings from private a

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising alternative by enabling code generation from natural language. However, despite progress, LLMs still struggle with spatial reasoning, structural fidelity, and robustness across diverse GIS datasets. This thesis systematically compares three LLM adaptation strategies, i.e., prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), an

Accurate monitoring of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in lakes is essential for understanding aquatic carbon dynamics, assessing lake ecosystem health, and supporting water resource management. While remote sensing offers scalable alternatives to in-situ monitoring, machine learning models often struggle to generalise across systems. This thesis investigates the potential of the eXtreme Gradient B
