In this master's thesis I will study library space in its practical use in relation to the professionals working in it daily, i.e. the library staff. It seems that this profession should have a unique knowledge base around how the library is used and how space can be organised to benefit the users, the staff and the collections. The library is closely connected to and affected by society and s
Physics-informed neural networks integrate physical laws into machine learning models to solve differential equations. This thesis investigates an inverse physics-informed neural network framework for estimating viscosity in Tetra Pak’s injection molding process, where direct measurements are not possible. By enforcing the Navier-Stokes equations and using sparse velocity and pressure data, a virt
As awareness of the environmental and health issues associated with PFAS materials production, the EU has encouraged industries to search for alternatives to traditional PTFE coatings. This thesis, conducted in collaboration with Tetra Pak as a part of PFAS free project, investigates surface engineering treatments for stainless steel used in cheese processing equipment. The goal is to identify rep
The reliable operation of nuclear reactors is contingent upon precise control mechanisms for critical components, such as the head circulation pumps. This master thesis investigates an innovative approach to address the ramp-down speed of these pumps during external electrical grid failures by exploring the application of a supercapacitor group. Presently, the existing solution relies on a fly-whe
Society is undergoing a great transformation with regard to the climate crisis, where electrification plays a crucial role in decarbonizing. To meet the future energy demand, improving power grid utilization is essential. This thesis develops standardized methods to evaluate and identify key parameters in terms of impact and branch loading, and to determine the probability of load flow scenarios u
Cancer is the leading cause of death in the world. Multiple different treatment options are available, target therapy and immunotherapy being two. One potential target is Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) and there are both available treatments and new treatments being investigated for this. However, only around 25% of patients benefit from the immunotherapy treatment Immune Checkpoint In
Dagens familjer ser inte ut på samma sätt som de gjorde ”förr i tiden”, då kärnfamiljen med mamma, pappa och biologiska barn var den enda socialt accepterade familjekonstellationen. Sedan dess har stora förändringar skett hos den svenska befolkningen, som kämpat för bland annat kvinnlig frigörelse och mot patriarkala strukturer och normer. I dag erkänner det svenska rättssystemet ett flertal andraWe live in a time where one can form a family in numerous ways. A time where the nuclear family is no longer the only accepted option in our society. The movement towards women’s rights and equality, as well as the fight against patriarchal and normative structures has led to the acknowledgement of other types of families. New structures however, require new legislation. Today same-sexed marriage
Ingen rättsordning tillskriver alla sorters löften bindande verkan. Det här arbetet syftar till att kritiskt granska och jämföra hur man har valt att avgränsa bindande löften från oförbindande löften i svensk respektive amerikansk avtalsrätt. Ett anbud är enligt svensk rätt en bindande viljeförklaring. Utgångspunkten är att en viljeförklaring är bindande om avsändaren hade för avsikt att juridiskNo legal system enforces all sorts of promises. The objective of his essay is to analyse and compare the general basis for enforcing promises in Swedish and American contract law. In Swedish contract law, an offer is a manifestation of intent to be legally bound by the offer. However, contract law is concerned only with what intent was objectively manifested, which may not necessarily correspond w
My main purpose in this master thesis is to investigate what it meant to be a nun in Vadstena abbey in the beginning of the 16th-century according to the confessor general Nicolaus Ragvaldi. The main question of this thesis is: What should the ideal nun be like according to the sermons of the confessor general Nicolaus Ragvaldi performed in Vadstena abbey 1501 – 1506? While other legislative texts
In the light of (super) wicked problems, as climate change is, a deep transformation of energy and transport systems is needed. Among other technological innovations, liquid biofuels were adopted also in Romania as an innovation that could contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable transport. However, the biofuels sector is not well-developed in Romania, in spite of considerable poten

I skrivande stund är sju olika cancercentra i Sverige, däribland Skånes Universitetssjukhus i Lund, mitt uppe i en gemensam randomiserad studie som undersöker behandling av prostatacancer med två olika strålningsscheman. Patienterna i studien blir slumpvis tilldelade antingen en standardbehandling, där de får en liten mängd strålning vid 39 olika tillfällen, eller en så kallad hypofraktionerad behPurpose: This work examined the feasibility of flattening filter free (FFF) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer. The aim was to investigate the potential gain in treatment time per fraction for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer, while preserving or improving the treatment plan quality and radiation delivery quality. The impact of intr
In this study suggested political instruments for a future sustainable transportation system are analyzed. This is done by a survey study with answers from municipality workers in ten different municipalities in the Scania region, southern Sweden. The questions covers the respondents transportation habits and their opinions on 19 different political instruments and how these instruments, if put in
The purpose of my thesis is to examine if the financial crisis 2008-2009 effects economic gender equality in Sweden during (2008-2009) and after (2010-2015) the crisis and if so, how. The purpose is also to analyse if the outcomes are consistent with Gary S. Becker´s theoretical framework the taste discrimination model and the division of labour model. I define economic gender equality by using th
Trafikbrottslagens 5 § ålägger alla trafikanter, som är inblandade i en trafikolycka, att stanna kvar på platsen för olyckan och lämna upplysningar om händelsen. Uppsatsen undersöker om denna upplysningsplikt kan strida mot Europakonventionens sjätte artikel och skyddet mot självinkriminering, som innebär att en misstänkt person aldrig ska behöva bidra till utredningen om sin egen brottslighet. EuSection 5 of the Swedish Traffic Crimes Act, requires all persons involved in a traffic accident to remain at the scene of the accident and provide information about the incident. This essay examines whether the obligation to disclose certain information about the incident, may violate the sixth article of the European Convention on human rights and the protection against self-incrimination. Accor
Denna uppsats består av två delar. Den första delen behandlar vad som sker då en likabehandlingsplan på en offentlig myndighet, i detta fall Region Skåne, utökar rättigheter för persongrupper som inte är skyddade enligt lag. Den gör en utblick över internationell rätt och EU-rätt för att söka ytterligare ledning till hur rätten ser ut i ett vidare perspektiv. Då det inte är självklart vad som gäThis essay is divided into two parts. The issue discussed in the first part is what happens when a public authority, in this case Region Skåne, expands their equal treatment plan to cover grounds of discrimination not included in the Swedish Discrimination Act. It also provides an overview of international and EU laws regarding discrimination. The theories of jurist Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld are use
Dödsstraffet är ett straff som har diskuterats i hundratals år. Jag är själv fascinerad av de argument som har använts, och fortfarande används, för och emot bibehållandet av strafftypen. Genom att studera förarbeten och doktrin har jag försökt utreda hur och varför Sverige avskaffade dödsstraffet. Jag har också jämfört den svenska processen med den som pågick vid ungefär samma tid i Danmark. BådaThe death penalty has been debated for hundreds of years. I am personally fascinated by the arguments used for keeping and removing the penalty from the legislation. I have by studying the legislative history and doctrine tried to research how and why Sweden abolished the death penalty. I also compared the results with the same process in Denmark. Both countries chose to abolish the death penalty
En oannonserad inspektion i konkurrensrättsliga sammanhang innebär att kommissionen eller bemyndigad konkurrensmyndighet besöker ett företag innan öppning för att gå igenom handlingar av olika slag, i syfte att påträffa bevis som styrker överträdelser av konkurrensrättsliga regler. Ett sådant förfarande är ett stort ingrepp i företagets integritet och därför ställs det höga krav på hur myndigheterAn unannounced inspection in competition law confers a right for the com-mission or authorized national competition authority to visit the premises of a company before opening hours, in order to search documents for evidence of competition law infringements. Such a procedure is extremely intrusive, in questioning a company’s integrity; therefore the commission, or national competition authorities,
Electricity differs from other commodities in that it cannot be stored. This non-storability characteristic results in traditional pricing methods for commodities not being applicable for electricity. An alternative pricing method is therefore needed and the solution is the Hourly Price Forward Curve (HPFC). The HPFC essentially gives the prices as of today for the delivery of electricity at each
I november 2019 tillsattes en särskild utredare som fått i uppdrag att analysera om det finns ett behov och är lämpligt att införa ett så kallat kronvittnessystem. Med kronvittne avses en misstänkt som genom att medverka i utredningen av annans brottslighet går fri från straff eller får en mildare påföljd. Ett av de största argumenten mot ett kronvittnessystem är svårigheterna vid bevisvärderingenIn November 2019, a special investigator was given the assignment to analyze if there is a need to introduce a so called crown witness system in Sweden. A crown witness is a suspect that receives a reduced sentence for participating in the investigation or testifying of another´s criminal act. One of the biggest arguments against such a system is the difficulty to evaluate the credibility of a tes
