A hydraulic system is designed to transport fluid power over large distances, from pumps to actuators where the fluid power is transformed to mechanical power. The submarines, built and designed by Saab Kockums, utilises such systems. There are, however, challenges as the hydraulic pumps consume much energy, and the system accumulators command significant space. As both energy and space are limite
The advancing field of biomaterials seeks to improve the quality of life by restoring lost biological functions. While the use of naturally or synthetically originating biomaterials poses scalability and toxicity issues, proteins are an interesting alternative characterized by biocompatibility and tunability. Amelogenin and dragline silks are two well-studied proteins of interest due to their mech
Objectives. Cirrhosis is a well-known risk factor for hepatocellular cancer, but the true risk in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is scarcely studied. Other cancers may arise after prolonged use of immune-modulating drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the cancer risk in a large cohort of AIH patients. Material and methods. Six hundred and thirty-four Swedish patients in a well-defined cohor
The regeneration niche has been little investigated in studies of community assembly and plant distribution. We examined adaptive associations between seedling traits and habitat specialization. Two habitat contrasts were investigated across several evolutionary lineages of angiosperms: species specialized to forest vs. open habitats and to dry vs. wet habitats. We also tested whether effects of s
The World Health Organization/United Nations Children's Fund Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative: Revised, Updated, and Expanded for Integrated Care (2009) identifies the need for expanding the guidelines originally developed for maternity units to include neonatal intensive care. For this purpose, an expert group from the Nordic countries and Quebec, Canada, prepared a draft proposal, which was dis
Dilution of flames using recirculated exhaust gas or water vapor is an important NOx reduction technique in various combustion applications. Dilution, however, can also lead to combustion instabilities due to reduced burning velocities. For methanol/air flames this subject is largely unexplored. Therefore, the current work examines the effects of diluting methanol/air flames with nitrogen and wate
In this study we have investigated whether the carbon isotopic signature differs between different groups and species of marine phytoplankton depending on growth phase, nutrient conditions and salinity. The 15 investigated algal species, representing the Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cryptophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae and Haptophyceae classes were grown in batch monocultures and analysed
As climate change and unsustainable waste practices present major global challenges, effective waste management in developing countries becomes critically important. In South Africa, organic waste constitutes a significant share of general waste and is often landfilled, contributing to methane emissions and serious health risks for the population. In response, the Western Cape province has introdu
This thesis examines how female-targeting fintech firms can internationalize in ways that genuinely promote financial inclusion for women. Conducted as an exploratory interview study with Female Invest, it builds on the broader observation that gender remains largely absent from fintech’s outlook. The study addresses two key research gaps. First, financial inclusion efforts often overlook how cult
Examensarbetets titel: Från kontor till köksbord - Vad driver produktivitet och motivation i olika arbetsmiljöer? Seminariedatum: 3 juni 2025 Kurs: FEKH49 - Examensarbete kandidatnivå i organisation, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Amanda Merrikhi, Joel Henriksson och Klara Tjernström Handledare: Olof Hallonsten Fem nyckelord: distansarbete, arbetsmiljö, motivation, produktivitet, sociotekniska persp
This study examines how migration is framed and understood in South Africa’s migration policy, in the White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration, and Refugee Protection: Towards a Complete Overhaul of the Migration System in South Africa (2024). The White Paper has drawn heavy criticism from civil society organizations and legal experts. The criticism centers on the policy being seen as badly conceiv
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming marketing and advertising practices, particularly through the growing use of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) in advertising content creation. While existing research has mainly focused on outcomes such as advertising effectiveness and consumer attitudes, limited attention has been given to how consumers negotiate authenticity in AI-generated
This thesis examines how meanings of female body hair are constructed, negotiated, and contested within digital spaces in contemporary China, focusing on the #armpithairfreedom on Rednote. While existing research on body hair and digital feminism is largely grounded in Western contexts, this study addresses a critical gap by situating analysis within China’s culturally specific and platform-regula
This thesis investigates simulating X-ray computed tomography with two primary objectives: developing a virtual representation of an X-ray computed tomography scanner and generating labelled synthetic training data for deep learning-based fibre segmentation. A simulation pipeline to generate X-ray projections based on the Beer-Lambert law was developed using the open-source framework gVirtualXray.
Introduction: This study focuses on the quantitative analysis of minerals in gummy supplements Background: The content of minerals in gummy supplements can be challenging to measure due to the complex organic matrix that includes, among other ingredients, sugar, glucose syrup, and pectin. Aim(s): The aim of this research project was to validate a method for quantifying Zn, Mg, and Fe in gummy sup
Previous studies have shown that the predominant proteins secreted by the seminal vesicles are transglutaminase substrates which have undergone major structural alterations during evolution. In man, they are known as semenogelin I and II; recently it was shown that, similar to man, several new world and old world monkeys carry two semenogelin genes as well, the exception being the cotton-top tamar
The demands on library services are quickly changing in a continually updating digital age. This increases the importance of a good understanding of the needs and demands of the users. In order to sample and follow the change in user needs library organisations analyse their efforts using a series of different methods. In a recent survey distributed to all 301 European LIBER university libraries,
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess information literacy performance of students doing their master thesis at 5th year the Medical Degree Programme, Lund University, Sweden. The study investigates if there is a difference in performance between library class participants and non-participants. Method: A case-control approach with rubrics assessment was used to assess students’ informati
Purpose: To assess the performance of a 4-step algorithm for neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest recommended by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). Methods: Retrospective descriptive analysis with data from the Target Temperature Management (TTM) Trial. Associations between predicted and actual neurological outcome wer
