Homeric epics have been a continued object of interest across the ages, and it is no different today. Retellings of Greek myths with a focus on the female characters are especially popular with the modern reader. Authors Natalie Haynes and Madeline Miller are two of many who, through their contemporary novels A Thousand Ships (2019) and Circe (2018), have put the focal point on female characters.

The dissertation deals with the load-bearing capacity, in terms of stability, of a steel truss in an industrial building. It is based on previous work by Tosovic [1], in which the roof was investigated in the same type of building but the results showed that the trusses were the deficient elements. Steel trusses are a popular choice of construction for large-span buildings due to their load-beari

In this thesis, we construct the Baer sum of extensions in the sense of Yoneda and prove that it endows the Ext-classes with an Abelian group structure. Extensions are defined by means of equivalence classes of short exact sequences in Abelian categories. Now, in order to do that, we carefully lay a solid foundation for the theory of Abelian categories by starting with elementary concepts from cat

Thanks to technological advances, AI has advanced to areas previously thought to only be performed by humans. By imitating human cognitive ability, AIs are having a growing impact on medical practice, where the rapid development of data analysis tools is contributing to a significant change in healthcare. The potential for AI in healthcare is vast. However, AI can offer both ethical and human righ

To investigate the non-zero nuclear Schiff moment exhibited by PT-violating nuclei, this paper examines the prediction of shapes and excited states of Radium isotopes by applying different Skyrme-like models. The calculations were conducted by employing computational programs incorporating both the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method and Hartree-Fock + BCS with an effective Skyrme force. A preliminary

Bakgrund. Industrierna utsätts för allt större press att anpassa sig till de håll- barhetsregler som införs. Detta tvingar industrierna att utmana de traditionella tillverkningsprocesser och hitta sätt att göra dem mer hållbara. I de traditionella industrierna används mycket kylvätska, som har stor inverkan på både den miljön och den sociala hållbarheten. Två produktionsmetoder uppvisar betydande Background. Industries are facing increasing pressure to adapt to sustainability regulations being put in place. This forces industries to rethink traditional manufac- turing operations and find ways to make them more sustainable. In the traditional industries there are a lot of coolants being used, these have a big impact on both the environment sustainability as well as social sustainability. Tw

This study investigates the performance dynamics of Swedish mutual funds, with a particular focus on the impact of active management, as measured by tracking error, on risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ratio). The findings reveal a consistent negative correlation between tracking error and Sharpe ratio, indicating that higher levels of active management are associated with poorer performance relative

Title: Increasing warehouse efficiency by digitalizing warehouse processes using mobile devices – A design study in the steel industry Author: Sören Castor Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: Heine + Beisswenger does not or only partly document material movement in parts of their warehouse which

This thesis examines the practices and challenges of a sole management of a cultural enterprise by studying the case of Cadence Gallery and its founder Elsa, a cultural entrepreneur who solely established and manages a non-profit art gallery in Sweden. The qualitative research is based on semi-structured interviews with the entrepreneur and other individuals involved in the gallery's operation

This study aims to examine whether there is a greenium on corporate green bonds in the Nordic market and to explore the impact of industries' carbon emission level characteristics on the greenium. The study is made using a quantitative method with a deductive approach. The methodical procedure is based on a matching process, followed by a t-test and cross-section regression. The empirical find

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is prominent to stay within the 1.5-degree limit outlined in the Paris Agreement. For this to occur, the socio-technical energy system needs to become more flexible and support decentralized systems. One way to do this, as advocated by the European Union as well, is to support local energy initiatives. This paper examines how different local energy initiatives

As the problem of memory-safety continues to pose a significant threat to the software ecosystem, developers need to consider strategies to address these vul- nerabilities. For high-performing applications built on the C/C++ programming languages, solutions have to be easy to adapt without compromising too much on performance. In this thesis, high-performing 5G software is evaluated using the CHER

This study aims to problematise food assistance mechanisms in Lithuania in response to rising food insecurity, challenging the prevailing discourse surrounding food (in)security. Using interviews and document analysis within a case study methodology, the research addresses three main questions: How is food insecurity problematised in the Lithuanian state and charity discourse? How does this proble

Det här examensarbetet har handlat om att ta fram en IoT-lösning för Eltech Automations HiFlex-system, som är en standardprodukt med robot, PLC och HMI i samma produkt. Målet med arbetet var att ta fram en lösning för att kunna skicka data från PLC, via en gateway, till en molntjänst för att sedan kunna hämtas och ses av operatörer eller andra användare av HiFlex på en webbsida. Datan som skulle v

This thesis project aims to research the opportunities and challenges of development projects that integrate climate change adaptation (CCA) with youth empowerment in the rural community of Rangtse, Haa Dzongkhag in Bhutan. A vulnerability assessment was conducted by analyzing the exposure, sensitivity, and resilience of the Rangtse area to climate change through the dimensions of Gross National H

This study attempts to unravel the stock market participation puzzle. It approaches the puzzle with the idea that access to information reduces entry costs and, hence, encourages stock market participation. The literature suggests that information dissemination occurs through social interaction. Therefore, higher social engagement increases the odds of stock market participation. This study questi

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between ESG-linked executive compensation and the performance of Nordic publicly listed companies in terms of both ESG and financial metrics. Methodology: The econometric approach utilized in this study involves fixed effects panel regressions. The regressions use ESG scores and financial performance metrics as dependent variables, with ESG-linked executiv

This bachelor's thesis explores how users engage with political content on TikTok concerning monetized filters to the benefit of Palestine. It also investigates the role TikTok may play in facilitating political mobilization and advocacy, as well as how users leverage the platform to organize, collaborate, and amplify their voices around political issues. The two main methods of research are n
