Intimate partner violence narratives may be shaped not only by what happened, but also by who the experience is communicated to and what consequences are perceived to be at stake. This study examined whether contextual framing influences how individuals describe self-experienced psychological and physical intimate partner violence in informal, professional, and custody-related contexts. A sample o
The increasing global demand for energy and the need to reduce industrial emissions have made energy efficiency a central focus in process industries. Therefore, this thesis investigates system-level optimization strategies for a closed-loop cooling system utilizing seawater. A system commonly used in heavy process industries, with a focus on both design and operational improvements. The study eva
The system around the star Beta Pictoris is often referred to as the poster child of exoplanet research. However, the planetary system contains many more interesting components inside its large protoplanetary disks. When examining the stellar spectrum, long-lasting absorption lines near the Ca II lines of the star have been observed. While these absorption lines resemble those of transiting exocom
The transition towards a sustainable bio-based economy requires efficient conversion of renewable biomass into high-value platform chemicals. One such compound is 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key precursor for the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF), a promising alternative to petroleum-derived plastics such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-fur
The usage of AI in organisations is increasing at a fast pace and is creating a growing de-mand for AI governance and AI-policies. Despite this, the knowledge of how policies are formulated and translated into practise is at large limited. This study aims to qualitatively explore how Nordic organisations navigate both the process of formulating and translating their AI-policies into practise. This
Access to digital infrastructure in highly digitalized societies is shaped not only by the availability of technology but also by the administrative arrangements that govern access to it. This study examines how non-EU international students at Lund University experience and navigate exclusion from Sweden’s digital financial infrastructure through the case of Swish, a mobile payment system widely
Tillämpningar är en del av alla matematikkurser i gymnasieskolan. Matematik kan tillämpas på många olika ämnen, däribland fysik. Frågorna som undersöktes i denna studie var hur tillämpningarna av matematik på fysik används i matematikundervisning i gymnasieskolan och lärarnas inställning till användandet av fysik i matematikundervisning. Detta gjordes via semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fem verksamm
This study investigates Scanian Swedes’ dialect identification ability of seven Swedish regional dialects. Particularly, the study aims to find out whether or not the scientific division of Swedish dialect regions more or less overlap with actual speakers’ ability to differentiate between dialects. It also investigates some idiosyncratic participant variables that affect dialect identification abi
Den snabba digitaliseringen av transaktioner i banksektorn medför i kombination med uppkomsten av AI en kraftig ökning av finansiella brott, vilket utmanar regelbaserade säkerhetssystem. Syftet med denna intervjustudie är att skapa en förståelse för användningen av AI-system i arbetet mot finansiell brottslighet inom den svenska banksektorn. Genom ett sociotekniskt perspektiv och ramverket TechnolThe rapid digitalization of banking transactions, combined with the emergence of AI, has led to a sharp increase in financial crime, challenging traditional rule-based security systems. This interview study aims to understand the utilization of AI systems in countering financial crime within the Swedish banking sector. Drawing on a sociotechnical perspective and the Technology, Organization, and E
This thesis builds a new dataset on the composition and evolution of credit portfolios for Latin America’s six largest economies between 2000-2025. The new dataset was built by manually compiling credit information from local regulators and central banks. Its objective is to improve empirical analysis by (i) allowing to study the interaction between different credit segments and economic outcomes,
This thesis provides macro-level evidence that finance has a positive effect on innovation across high- income OECD countries from 1996 to 2022. Building on the existing literature, it examines the different effects of bank-based and market-based financing on innovation. Instead of using static financial indicators that capture the size of the financial system, this thesis uses measures that captu
This thesis examines the role of credit allocation in China’s growth model. Based on the ‘Quantity Theory of Disaggregated Credit’, it focuses on how the growth in different types of bank credit is associated with GDP growth and its components. By making use of a disaggregated credit dataset from 2008 up to 2025, this thesis finds that both household and enterprise credit have a positive relations

This thesis examines how the environmental, regulatory, and social problems arising from U.S.– Malaysia plastic waste trade were represented following China’s 2018 National Sword policy and Malaysia’s eventual 2025 restrictions on plastic waste imports. Rather than treating plastic waste trade as only a material flow, this study seeks to analyze how different actors constructed meaning through com
Gender inequality persists in contemporary Europe despite decades of legal reform. Yet, the emotional bond to the nation may lead women to perceive the unequal gender arrangements as fair and legitimate, a process rooted in system justification motivation. This study examines the association between national attachment and perceived gender fairness among women, and whether this association varies
Ethylene oxidation over Pd nanoparticles in an ambient pressure environment was studied. While modulating the temperature in an ethylene-oxygen mixture, operando ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed an oscillating thickness of a PdC_x layer surrounding the nanoparticles while producing CO and CO_2. Scanning electron microscopy before and after the measurement revealed the for
The focus of this project was to investigate possible daily and yearly patterns in black carbon emissions throughout Europe based on both actual data obtained from 2018 to 2019 and a transport model created to identify the sources of said black carbon. Previous work with the data had shown large gaps between the observed and predicted values, and our hope was to identify cyclical or seasonal patte
The development of plant-based foods has increased interest in sustainable and natural protein-based emulsifiers that may partially replace conventional/synthetic emulsifying ingredients. Rapeseed press cake is an underutilized protein rich side stream from oil production with potential for valorization as a functional food ingredient. This study evaluated the emulsifying properties of protein fra
