Examensarbetet undersöker hur passagerare med större föremål påverkar på- och avstigningstider på Öresundståg vid Lund C. Resultaten visar att tiden blir längre om det finns minst en belastad passagerare i flödet som stiger på eller av tåget. Påstigningen blir då i genomsnitt 1,43 sekunder och för avstigning 1,40 sekunder. Om man jämför detta med tiderna det tar för obelastade passagerare, som harThe thesis investigates how passengers with larger items affect boarding and alighting times on Öresundståg at Lund C. The results show that the time increases when there is at least one loaded passenger in the flow boarding or alighting the train. The average boarding time is then 1.43 seconds, and the average alighting time is 1.40 seconds. Compared to the times for unloaded passengers, who take

Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest freshwater lake by area shared by three countries: Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The lake supports the economic development of the region through transport and fishing as well as recreational and tourism activities in the three countries. The main ports on the lake are Kisumu, Mwanza, Bukoba, Entebbe, Portbell, and Jinja served by several train ferry services for b

Cancer är en av de mest allvarliga sjukdomarna globalt, och nästan alla känner någon vars liv har påverkats av den. En av de viktigaste faktorerna bakom sjukdomens utveckling är genetiska mutationer som påverkar celldelning och normal celltillväxt. Kroppen har egna försvarsmekanismer för att förhindra, stoppa eller reparera skadade celler, och ett exempel på ett sådant naturligt försvar är tumörsuThe tumor suppressor protein p53 is an intrinsically disordered protein. Binding to DNA as a tetramer, the protein searches for mutations and prevents the replication of damaged DNA through apoptosis and growth arrest. Inactivation of p53 by mutation is recognized as a key step in the development of over 50 % of human cancers. The p53 protein family contains two additional proteins, p63 and p73. W

This study explores the interplay between gender, gaming, and cultural memory through the case of Code: Kite, a Chinese female-oriented historical game that reimagines the Three Kingdoms era from a female perspective. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with eleven female players and analyzed through thematic analysis, the research examines how players perceive gender expression in the game, how

The Amazon Rainforest is in grave danger of disappearing for good, due to a number of harmful economic activities, including land conversion for cattle ranching and monoculture, as well as unsustainable and illegal timber production. It has been shown, however, that the private sector has a crucial role in redressing socio-economic problems, causing deforestation and degradation. To illustrate thi

Architecture is always intrinsically tied to place. Regardless of how architects choose to interact with and study it, the context our buildings are meant to inhabit is an important piece of the puzzle. As the world is getting more interconnected and geographical constraints are getting less important to the architectural profession, I am interested in how the creative process changes when assumpt

Virusinfektioner har utan tvekan blivit det största hälsoproblemet i världen. I skrivande stund når antalet COVID-19 infektioner i världen upp emot 151 800 000 vilket gör att behovet av vacciner och antivirala läkemedel är viktigare nu än någonsin tidigare. Influensa A är ytligare ett virus som orsakar överdödlighet, trotts att många klarar sig lindrigt vid infektion. För att kunna förhindra ellerWith viral infections becoming an ever-increasing health problem in the world, the study of viral proteins is a cornerstone for understanding and preventing future pandemics. The following work shows the purification and structural characterization of the Influenza A M2 proton channel through solid-state NMR (ssNMR). Despite previously published structures of the M2 proton channel, the method of p

Mitt examensarbete undersöker hur arkitektur kan utformas på avsides platser för att ge möjlighet att spendera mer tid i skog och natur. Med en stor ökad efterfråga på fritidshus blir det tydligt att fler söker efter en lugn plats att spendera tid på och med omständigheterna under covid-19 har många möjligheten att kunna förflytta sin vardag ut från städerna. Att även utföra vardagssysslor såsom sMy master thesis examines how architecture can be designed in remote places to provide the opportunity to spend more time in forests and nature. With an increased demand for holiday homes, it becomes clear that more people are looking for a quiet place to spend time, and with the circumstances during covid-19, many have the opportunity to move their everyday lives out of the cities. Performing eve

The Sweden Democrats have, like many right-wing populist parties all over Europe, had an increased success. Frequently they have been accused for thriving cultural policies as an excuse to raise nationalistic and anti-immigrational issues. The Sweden Democrat’s presence in the cultural heritage sector triggers the question whether and how culture is used for instrumentalizing purposes and disturbs

Det finns flertalet olika externa detektionssystem som kan tillämpas vid kulturhistorisk bebyggelse. Värmekameror är en detektionslösning som kan användas, dock råder brist på tillgänglig dokumentation gällande hur de tillämpas och fungerar i dessa områden. Målet med detta arbete är att genom sammanställning och analys av erhållen information kunna redogöra för om tekniken är effektiv för att extThere are several different external detection systems that can be used in buildings of cultural heritage. The aim of this thesis is, by compiling and analysing obtained information, account for if a detection system consisting of thermal cameras is efficient in detecting external fires in areas with cultural heritage buildings. The thesis is based on a case study where two different questionnair

The construction of Passive Houses is challenging. On one hand, there is a strong pressure to reduce the investment cost and on the other hand optimal energy efficiency should be reached. Hence that it is indispensable for architects, engineers, and constructors to avoid any causes throughout the whole project, that would lead to performance gaps and costs overruns. The purpose of this degree proj

Vehicle to everything (V2x) communication is one of the most researched topics today. The main goal behind this new emerging technology is road safety along with traffic and energy efficiency. Vehicular communications can further be sub-divided into certain types. One such type is vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, which is the focus of this thesis. V2V is either Wireless Local Area Network (

Israel utropades formellt som en oberoende stat 1948, en tid när den modernistiska ideologin nådde sin kulmen globalt även fast det haft ett stadigt grepp om stadsplaneringens normer sedan tidigt 1920-tal. Det stora antalet migranter som under kort tid bosatte sig i den nybildade nationen resulterade i ett behov av snabb stadsutveckling. Den stora tillströmningen av människor attraherade dessutom Israel was officially declared as an independent state in 1948. A time when the modernistic ideology peaked around the globe, although it had been the dominant urban planning paradigm since the early 1920s. The large number of migrants moving to the newly formed nation stressed the need of rapid urban development. The large influx of people also attracted many planners and architects from the west

DNA sequence variation can have different effects on the amino acid sequence of a protein, depending on what type of alteration is made and the position of it. While missense and nonsense variants can substitute one amino acid for another or lead to a premature stop codon respectively, synonymous variation does not directly alter the amino acid sequence of a protein. Though synonymous variants see

Plastic has brought great benefits to human life, but it has also given rise to serious environmental problems as “microplastic” threatening the living organisms. Due to the promising properties, the polymer poly (ethylene) terephthalate (PET) has been widely used for packaging and textiles industries with large annual demand and low recycle rate. The imbalance between the production and recycling

Saint Olav His Cult The subject of this thesis is Saint Olav (995-1030) and his cult in medieval Scandinavia. He was canonized soon after his death, and he became a popular saint in the Scandinavian countries. With the help of the material and historical evidence of the cult of Saint Olav I here attempt to trace who was the driving force behind its expansion, as well as why the cult was spread wi

Inom ramen för ett masterarbete har en metod utvecklats som kopplar människors upplevelser av natur med den fysiska miljön i form av marktäckning. Deltagarna fick välja tre platser inom ett rekreationsområde som de tyckte var speciella. Med hjälp av en applikation i mobiltelefonen svarade de på frågor om vilka fysiska element som var viktiga, hur de uppfattade miljön, vilka aktiviteter som platsenThis master project has been carried out in collaboration with a research project named “Valuation of cultural ecosystem services based on contributions to quality of life” at Lund University. In this thesis, Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) are evaluated from people’s own perceptions. The very aim of the study is to develop a method to assess CES non-monetarily by using a bottom-up perspective.
