The present study represents an explorative analysis on women’s bodily expressions from the global south, more specifically women from five Latin American countries: México, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Peru, in the context of mobilizations from the last International Women’s Day. From theoretical perspectives that interconnect epistemological aspects of feminism and resistance, this research p
Using a critical agrarian studies approach, this study focuses on the history and current context of hop production in Sweden and adjoining parts of Scandinavia as a case study illustrating how land-use changes and the paradigm shift towards globalized agri-food systems has tended to marginalize traditional crop production as well as how completely new forms of hop production are able to practical
To minimize the number of households affected by power outages during faults in the distribution grid, microgrids can be utilized to disconnect from the main grid and supply power locally. When disconnected from the main grid, these systems operate in \textit{island mode} and must remain self-sufficient for a few hours. However, for a fault occurrence within an islanded microgrid, traditional prot

Seminar Date: 03/06 - 2025 Course: Degree Project: New Venture Creation- Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Lund University School of Economics and Management, 15 ECTS Authors: Daniel Milde & Gustav Lingevik Supervisor: Joakim Winborg Keywords: Entrepreneurial finance, Human capital, Soci
This study examined how amount of social media use, type of content and type of engagement relate to adolescent mental health and wellbeing. It also explored whether gender and social comparison orientation moderated these relationships. Using a cross-sectional survey study design, objective screen time data and self-report measures of content (photo, video, and text) and engagement (passive vs. a
I Sveriges decentraliserade och diversifierade skolsystem verkar rektorer i skärningspunkten mellan pedagogiska ideal, organisatoriska krav och föränderliga styrformer. Denna uppsats undersöker hur rektorer i kommunala, privata och ideellt drivna grundskolor tolkar och utövar sina professionella roller inom dessa institutionellt mångfacetterade sammanhang. Genom intervjuer med svenska rektorer i dIn Sweden’s decentralised and diverse school system, principals operate at the intersection of pedagogical ideals, organisational demands, and shifting governance structures. This thesis examines how principals in public, private, and NGO-run elementary schools interpret and enact their professional roles within these institutionally diverse settings. By interviewing Swedish principals in these di
There is a growing emphasis on sustainability in Swedish public school meal provisioning. While the body of research has focused on food waste reduction, nutritional outcomes, and quantifying policy impact, there is little focus on the experience of the public service workers who are involved in providing the school meals. The unique challenge these public service workers face lies in balancing th
This thesis explores audience engagement within the dark romance genre, using the Cat and Mouse Duet as a case study. Through discussions with readers, we aimed to explore underlying motivations for engagement and dive deeper into the genre as a whole. As dark romance has only recently solidified its position as a subgenre, previous research has mostly focused on regular romance. In the past decad
Ungdomars välmående har blivit en allt viktigare folkhälsofråga, förklarat av åratal av dokumenterad och ihållande försämring. Stödjande insatser för barn och ungdomar i utvecklingen av socioemotionella kompetenser (SEC) har tidigare kopplats till ökat välbefinnande, men det finns mindre kunskap om dessa kompetensers direkta korrelation med välmående och hur demografiska faktorer som kön, neuropsyAdolescents’ wellbeing has emerged as a major public health concern, driven by years of documented decline. While previous research has shown that interventions targeting social emotional competencies (SEC) have been linked to enhanced wellbeing, less is known about the direct correlation of these competencies and mediating effects of factors such as gender, neurodevelopmental disorder, and grade.
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to explore the reasoning and experiences of women when offered a self-sampling HPV test.METHODS: This study implemented a qualitative study design and content analysis using an inductive approach. Data consisted of written narratives collected through open-ended questions from a total of 173 women. Women were included if they had been offered a self-sampling device since Se
Neoliberal welfare reforms and limited pathways to permanent residency have left migrant women, among other groups, with little or no access to public social protection, contributing to their precarious legal status. As a result, civil society actors (CSA) have become the main providers of support and deliver micro-level social protection beyond the boundaries of public authorities. At the same ti
Housing preferences in later life vary, and housing decisions are complex. While much attention has been paid to health and accessibility, less is known about how financial factors influence housing decisions among older homeowners. This qualitative study aimed to deepen understanding of how single-family homeowners aged 55 and older reason about their housing situation. We conducted focus groups
The development of quality independent-living senior housing is a critical component for cities and towns to support residents to ‘age well’. This can contribute to a physical and social environment for older adults that reduces potential social isolation and loneliness and promotes healthy ageing. This study investigates the use of common areas within independent-living senior housing sites and i
Spark discharge generators (SDGs) are versatile tools for producing nanoparticles (NPs) with tailored properties. This study combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Particle Tracing (PT) simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics® with experimental data to investigate the effect of various chamber configurations, including inlet/outlet positioning and chamber volume on the NP output. Five geometri
Death is the prerequisite of life, life the prerequisite of death, just like chaos and order, light and shadow, joy and despair, love and grief, are each other's premises. When life breaks into pieces, despair may ensue, but darkness offers possibilities to tap into the light. The use of experiential somatic practices and creative expressions can reach deep and help illuminate conscious and uncons
To examine the relationship between bodily disconnection and two indicators of late life well-being – depressive symptoms and meaning in life (MIL) – among older adults residing in nursing homes. Psycho-gerontological research has begun to show increased interest in the physical dimension of ageing – the ageing body – and has focused on older adults’ subjective experiences of their bodies. These s
This paper examines the problems of nature conservation in the Third World. A Pakistani community-based conservation project, the Palas Conservation and Development Project (PCDP), acts as a reference point. A field study was conducted to elicit the preferences of the benefactors and of the beneficiaries, i e the PCDP staff and the locals of the Palas Valley in which the project operates. Four pre
The fate of carcinogens differs among individuals who have different activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes that are important in activating and detoxifying carcinogens. A drug that profoundly alters the metabolism of the drugs and carcinogens is the anticonvulsive agent phenobarbital. To investigate why epileptic patients appear to have a low risk of cancer of the urinary bladder, and on the bas
Aims: The clinical performance of the SYNERGY drug-eluting stent (DES) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) has not been investigated in detail. We sought to report on the outcomes after SYNERGY DES (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) implantation in patients with MI undergoing percutaneous revascularisation (PCI). Methods and results: We included all consecutive patients with M
Differential cross sections are presented for the prompt and non-prompt production of the hidden-charm states X(3872) and ψ(2S), in the decay mode J/ψπ+π−, measured using 11.4 fb−1 of pp collisions at s=8 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The ratio of cross-sections X(3872)/ψ(2S) is also given, separately for prompt and non-prompt components, as well as the non-prompt fractions of X(3872) and
