Bakgrund: Samtliga Svenska vattenkraftverk och dammar ska under en tjugoårsperiod få moderna miljövillkor inom den nationella planen för omprövning av vattenkraft (NAP). Nio svenska kraftbolag finansierar tillsammans, genom Vattenkraftens Miljöfond Sverige AB (Fonden), kostnader som uppstår i samband med miljöåtgärder inom NAP. Tidigare studier visar att det finns en anlockningsproblematik vid de

This study examines the symbolic boundaries and boundary work (Lamont, 2000) that trans women experience in relation to the cis women in their lives with whom they share a close or meaningful relationship. Centering trans women’s voices and experiences, I analyze the ways in which boundary work is used to maintain or challenge symbolic boundaries between trans women and cis women, and how those bo

We build a model to predict from first principles the properties of major mergers. We predict these from the coalescence of peaks and saddle points in the vicinity of a given larger peak, as one increases the smoothing scale in the initial linear density field as a proxy for cosmic time. To refine our results, we also ensure, using a suite of ∼400 power-law Gaussian random fields smoothed at ∼30 d

I dagens risksamhälle söker organisationer ständigt nya agila metoder för att optimera och förstärka sina kommunikationsinsatser under kristider. I takt med det har organisationer blivit mer proaktiva i sin krishantering, i synnerhet när det gäller att hitta nya vägar att interagera med diverse intressenter på digitala plattformar. Följaktligen, har det skett en ökad popularitet för ljudbaserade pIn modern day’s risk society, organizations are continuously seeking new agile methods to optimize and reinforce their communication efforts in times of crisis. For this reason, organizations are becoming more proactive in their crisis management, particularly regarding finding new ways of interacting with various stakeholders on digital platforms. Consequently, there has been a rapid growth in po

This thesis explores the employer branding strategies of four major student nations at Lund University through their Instagram content throughout the year 2023. The focus is on how these organizations leverage organizational culture and rhetorical strategies—ethos, pathos, and logos—to engage current and prospective members. Utilizing a qualitative content analysis, it is examined how each student

Background and purpose: Motion management techniques are important to spare the healthy tissue adequately. However, they are complex and need dedicated quality assurance. The aim of this study was to create a dynamic phantom designed for quality assurance and to replicate a patient's size, anatomy, and tissue density. Materials and methods: A computed tomography (CT) scan of a cancer patient was u

Despite almost 9 years of pushing for sustainable development in the global environmental politics sphere, societies worldwide remain stuck in unsustainable energy cultures. Critical feminist analyses of gendered norms in energy systems offer a path to bring to light the structures of power that keep us stuck. Carbon Free Island Jeju 2030 was a policy experiment announced in 2012 aiming to transit

Denna studie utforskar hur informatikstudenter använder sig av AI-verktyget ChatGPT vid programmering och hur de använder sig av prompt engineering för att effektivt utnyttja verktyget. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med studenter samlar arbetet insikter kring deras upplevelser och strategier när de använder ChatGPT för att lösa programmeringsproblem. Resultatet visar på att studenterna använder Cha

Theentire PhD thesis is mediated through an on-line exposition on Research Catalogueusing mixed formats. The exposition encompasses the complete researchoutput

Background: Evidence abounds on the independent roles of social class and smoking in relation to obstructive airway diseases, but data are sparse on the impact of their interaction. We evaluated whether and to what extent social class and smoking interact in relation to risk of respiratory diseases in adults. Methods: Data from the population-based studies, West Sweden Asthma Study (WSAS, n = 23,7

Purpose of Review: Following a multi-scalar analytical approach, this critical literature review explores the factors that determine adaptation finance accessibility and allocation with particular attention to how the needs of climate-vulnerable communities are considered. Recent Findings: Our review reveals that climate vulnerability is not a primary determinant in the accessibility and allocatio

Values lie at the core of landscaping processes. In human geography, the concept of landscape describes the way in which societies relate to space through collectively interacting with their environment. Landscapes are a way of seeing and perceiving physical space, assigning meaning to it, and shaping it by giving materiality to imaginations. Values constitute the nodes of the society-landscape ne

In 2023, seven major property owners in Malmö attempted to raise rents a second time, after annual rents for the city’s tenants had already been finalized. In doing so, landlords broke with historical precedent, by coordinating efforts to bypass the rent negotiation process with the powerful Swedish Union of Tenants (SUT). The Swedish rent negotiation model, a product of militant organizing by the

This thesis investigates the out-migration patterns of women from major municipalities in Denmark from 2013 to 2023, focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It addresses three key topics: 1) changes in out-migration patterns during the pandemic and the subsequent two years, 2) differences in these patterns among the four large municipalities, and 3) the effects of the pandemic on remote w

Background: As the prevalence of dog allergy rises, component resolved diagnosis might improve the diagnosis, understanding of the clinical outcomes and the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Considering the paucity of data in adults, the current study characterized the patterns of sensitization to dog molecular allergens in an adult population. Methods: Data were derived from the West Sweden Asthma

The Astragalus membranaceus (AM) slices was dried using three infrared drying techniques, including near-infrared drying (NIR), mid-infrared drying (MIR), and far-infrared drying (FIR). Studies and discussions about the impacts of infrared temperature, power, slice thickness, and wavelength on the drying properties, energy consumption, and associated performance were conducted. Results showed that

Long-term tall-tower eddy-covariance (EC) measurements have been recently established in three European pilot cities as part of the ICOS-Cities project. We conducted a comparison of EC software to ensure a reliable generation of interoperable flux estimates, which is the prerequisite for avoiding methodological biases and improving the comparability of the results. We analyzed datasets covering 5

AbstractIntroductionConservative treatment of acute appendicitis is gaining popularity, and identifying patients with a higher risk of recurrence is becoming increasingly important. Previous studies have suggested that older age, male sex, diabetes, appendicolith and abscess formation may be contributing factors, however, results from the adult population are inconsistent.AimThis study aims to ide

The global need to take urgent action to address climate change presents the German automotive industry with its biggest transformation in history. While environmental targets are being set, the importance of leadership in the transformation process has so far received little attention. Using a Causal Model of Organizational Performance and Change, and the Transformational Leadership framework, th
