This thesis investigates the generation and evaluation of tetrahedral meshes based on tomographic data of open-cell aluminum metal foam. The work focuses on creating volume meshes suitable for finite element analysis (FEA), starting from a 3D reconstruction of the metal foam microstructure derived from a stack of over 1000 CT-like image slices, tomographs. The work was based on, and extended a Py
Stair width, riser height, tread depth and design may vary between different stairs. This study investigated how stairs with a variation of dimensions and designs affect people’s walking patterns, walking speed, and risk of falling. The thesis involved conducting observations and video recordings in six stairways with varying width, riser height, tread depth, and design, in addition to a brief lit
Introduction: Achieving and retaining a low background signal is essential for analytical techniques, especially for extremely accurate systems such as supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) since the limits of detections are heavily dependent on the background signal. Background: A standard option to ensure a low background signal is the usa
Title: Cross-Cultural Brand Perception and Purchasing Motivation: Exploring Chinese and Swedish Consumer Responses to Volvo and BYD Date of seminar: 05-06-2025 Course: BUSN39 - Degree Project in Global Marketing - Master Level Authors: Yujing Jiang and Xinlei Liu Supervisor: Veronika Tarnovskaya Keywords: International Brand, Brand Perception, Purchasing Motivation, Cross-culture, Home Country &am
The transition towards renewable energy technologies is essential to mitigate climate change. However, the intermittency of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) such as wind and solar creates seasonal imbalances in the electricity supply. To address this, inter-seasonal energy storage solutions are needed. Produced via electrolysis from excess electricity, hydrogen offers a promising storage medium. Ho
What does it take to be a working mother in developing societies? How do working mothers navigate the dynamics of work and home? These questions evoke a critical issue that invites more scholarly attention to understand the lived experiences of women entering formal labour markets in developing countries. Using qualitative interviews and thematic analysis, the study examines how middle-class worki
This thesis explores how sustainability-oriented venture capital firms (sVCs) evaluate sustainability-oriented early-stage startups. While sustainability has gained prominence in financial discourse, its role in early-stage venture evaluation remains diffuse. Startups with strong sustainability missions often face investor hesitation; not due to lack of relevance, but due to limited standardizatio
This thesis investigates the interplay between participatory place branding and residents’ sense of place, exploring its implications on their engagement in participatory initiatives. Following the case of a participatory greening initiative part of a branding campaign launched in 2024 by Marseille’s municipality (France), this study adopts a narrative approach to explore how residents’ lived expe
This thesis is a theatrical analysis of Gen 42—44, employing delimitation criticism, poetical analysis and dramaturgical analysis to explore its research questions. The first of these questions is what perspectives on the text come to the fore when it is studied under an assumption of theatre—as if it always was theatre. The second question is whether such a study provides any tenable arguments th
Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal kan uppleva arbetsrelaterad stress till följd av exempelvis höga krav, tidspress och otillräckligt stöd på arbetsplatsen. Stress kan leda till allvarliga psykiska och fysiska hälsoproblem, särskilt när den blir långvarig. Sjuksköterskeyrket är ofta stressigt då sjuksköterskor är särskilt utsatta på grund av höga krav och låg kontroll. Syfte: Studiens syfte va

Title: What’s in the box? - An embedded single-case study of Médecins Sans Frontières Operational Center Geneva to determine inventory holding costs within humanitarian logistics Authors: Ludvig Wenglén, Theo Larsson Malmstedt Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University Problem definition: Médecins Sans Frontières and the humanita
Audio localization often utilizes arrays of microphones to estimate the origin of sounds, where the recorded audio is usually processed on one central machine. In this thesis, the goal is instead to perform audio localization with dual microphones on distributed body worn cameras, where transmission of recorded audio is not permitted. Therefore, two separate algorithms are created: One performs d
This thesis investigates how belonging is negotiated within romantic relationships between partners with differing linguistic backgrounds, with a particular focus on multilingual couples in a Scandinavian context. Drawing on qualitative interviews with nine couples, the study examines both internal and external dimensions of the relationship, ranging from emotional communication and identity const
This study investigates how expiration dates and dynamic shelf life labels influence consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for fresh chicken products. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), the research evaluates the impact of shelf life duration, price, and the presence of a real-time freshness indicator on consumer decision-making. A sample of fresh chicken consumers in Lund, Swed
Throughout the 21st century migration has become increasingly politicised in Sweden, a trend that was further intensified by the migration crisis in 2015. This development significantly heightened media attention to migration and positioned it as a central concern among the Swedish public. There has been a significant shift in the political landscape in Europe and Sweden as well, where anti-immigr
The threat against biodiversity on beaches is significant in combination with the erosion pressing on our coastlines. At the same time beaches provide paramount cultural and recreational value and are expected to be attractive and accessible for beach visitors. This study explores macroalgae and the conflict between using the beach as a habitat to promote biodiversity while also promoting recreati
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
Denna studie undersöker hur Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet och Dagens Nyheter porträtterade gärningspersonen och offren i nyhetsrapporteringen kring skolskjutningen i Örebro 2025 under de två första veckorna efter dådet. Studiens syfte är granskandet av vilka återkommande ramar som rapporteringen består av och hur de formar förståelsen kring dådet. Detta är väsentligt eftersom det saknas svensk fo
Mental Imagery (MI) allows us to simulate real-life experiences and visualise events we have never witnessed, but what happens when we change the language of the narrative? This study investigated how language context (L1 vs. L2) influences the vividness of mental imagery and the emotional intensity associated with that imagery during narrative comprehension. A total of 58 sequential bilinguals fr
