This thesis studies the analytic structure of steady two-dimensional water waves using methods from complex analysis. For incompressible, inviscid, irrotational flows, the velocity field can be described by a complex potential that is analytic in the fluid domain. This analytic structure allows the use of conformal mapping and analytic continuation techniques to study the geometry of the free surf

This study investigates travel behaviour, transport choices, and attitudes towards public transport among individuals with residential parking permits in the municipality of Trelleborg, Sweden. The aim is to explore how everyday mobility patterns are formed, which factors influence the choice between car use and public transport, and how attitudes towards sustainable mobility relate to actual tran

The demand for better networks and faster speeds within telecommunications has been an ever-growing ambition for the last decade. A promising candidate for dealing with this demand is distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D- MIMO) systems that combine large-scale antenna arrays and decentralized node architectures. However, evaluating the possibilities and limitations of such system requires

This study examines how Canadian news media discourse constructed and contested medical assistance in dying (MAiD) eligibility for people with mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition between 2020 and 2025. Drawing on boundary theory, framing theory, Wimmer’s (2008) taxonomy of boundary-making strategies, and Brante and Hallberg’s (1991) concept of incommensurability, this study app

This thesis explores experiences and perceptions of interreligious dialogue of students at Lund University, with a particular focus on members of religion-based student associations. The study aims to examine how students understand interreligious dialogue, how they experience interactions with people from other faith traditions, and what motivates or limits interreligious engagement between diffe

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur materialanvändningen i platsgjutna betongbjälklag och betongväggar i flerbostadshus kan minskas genom att separera den bärande betongen från funktioner som inte behöver lösas inom själva den bärande konstruktionsdelen. Studien motiveras av betongbyggandets höga klimatpåverkan och av indikationer på att materialanvändningen i betongkonstruktioner har ökat över tidThis thesis investigates how material use in cast in situ concrete slabs and walls for multi-storey residential buildings can be reduced by separating the load-bearing concrete from functions that do not have to be solved within the structural member itself. The study is motivated by the high climate impact of concrete construction and by indications that material use in concrete structures has in

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how accountants in Swedish SMEs perceive their professional role and navigate multiple expectations related to regulatory compliance, business support, and organisational demands. Methodology: The study used a qualitative research approach with a multiple case study of ten Swedish SMEs. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data that w

Unga vuxnas skuldbelopp ökar i Sverige, samtidigt som ett växande forskningsfält visar att skuldsättning är förknippad med psykisk ohälsa. Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka prevalensen av snabblåneskulder bland unga vuxna, samt att identifiera livshändelser som föregick att snabblånet togs. Därutöver var syftet att undersöka sambandet mellan skulder från snabblån, psykisk ohälsa,Young adults’ debts are increasing in Sweden, while a growing body of research shows that indebtedness is associated with psychological distress. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of debt from payday loans among young adults, as well as to identify life-course events that preceded taking on such loans. In addition, the study aimed to investigate the association wi

This thesis investigates the relationship between urban planning, climate adaptation, and cultural continuity in Arctic Canada, with a particular focus on remote northern settlements. While contemporary discussions surrounding resilience and sustainability are predominantly centred on large metropolitan regions, Arctic communities experience distinct spatial and infrastructural challenges that are

Det här projektet har för syfte att hitta ett sätt att motverka planerat åldrande, ett fenomen som har ökat stadigt inom designbranschen det senaste århundradet. Planerat åldrande kan beskrivas som en samling olika designmetoder som avsiktligt förkortar livslängden av en produkt. I och med att detta är ett mångfacetterat problem så fokuserar det här projektet specifikt på hur man kan designa för r

In recent years, loneliness has been increasingly recognized as a public health issue in Sweden, with young men identified as a particularly vulnerable group. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how high school counselors, a profession close to the target group, describe and reason about their work with loneliness among young men. The method chosen was qualitative interviews with seven

Sojaokara är en restprodukt som kommer från produktion av sojabaserade livsmedel så som tofu och sojamjölk. Substratet innehåller betydande näringsämnen och är rikt på kostfiber och protein. Sojaokara har en begränsad hållbarhet och medför utmaningar för fortsatt användning i industrin. Med fokus på cirkulär livsmedelsproduktion av näringsrik restström är sojaokara ett attraktivt fokusområde för f

Background: The Construction sector is globally one of the most resource-intensive sectors that accounts for significant material consumption and waste generation. Approximately 10% of Sweden’s construction and demolition waste consists of material waste. Alongside this 30 -35% of the total production costs are linked to waste and spillage. Purpose and research questions: The study aims to analy

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn är mycket resursintensiv, vilket understryker behovet av att utveckla hållbara materialval som kan ersätta ändliga resurser. En väg framåt är att omvandla restprodukter och avfall från andra sektorer till användbara byggmaterial. En sådan potentiell resurs är skalen från stillahavsostronet (Magallana gigas), en art som under de senaste 20 åren spridit sig okontrollerat The construction and real-estate sector is highly resource-intensive, underlining the need for sustainable material choices that can substitute finite natural resources. One viable pathway is to transform by-products and waste streams from other sectors into useful construction materials. One such potential resource is the shell of the Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas), an invasive species that has

Previous studies of the economic long-term effects of the US bombing of Cambodia (1965--1973) find divergent results, ranging from persistent poverty traps to poverty alleviation and improved economic development. To reconcile these, I propose and test a novel two-stage mechanism: first, unexploded ordnance (UXO) constrains households' effectively cultivable land, depressing the marginal produ

This thesis examines the legal and ethical challenges posed by emerging neurotechnologies and the growing debate surrounding neurorights. It analyses whether existing human rights frameworks are capable of protecting individuals against the risks associated with technologies that can access, influence, or alter neural activity, or whether entirely new rights are required. Through a doctrinal and c

Smygehus havsbad, en stor konferens-, spa-och hotellanläggning som började byggas vid förra sekelskiftet. Anläggningen består av flera olika byggnader som har byggts och renoverats i olika etapper genom åren. I gamla byggnader finns det ofta, med dagens mått, en bristfällig energiprestanda. Med anledning av ökade energipriser och klimattänk i beaktande har detta blivit allt mer märkbart. Det är däThis thesis was conducted at Smygehus Havsbad, a hotel and conference facility in southern Sweden, with the aim of mapping the building’s energy use and identifying measures to improve energy efficiency. The study was motivated by rising energy costs and the complexity of the facility, which consists of several buildings and energy-intensive operations. The work combined literature studies, on-sit

Detta kandidatarbete undersöker Chalcophonen som ett historiskt instrument och utforskar dess potential som modernt ljudverktyg. Projektet undersöker även hur kontext kan vara en viktig del i vår uppfattning om bra ljud. Genom utforskande av material och ljudexperiment utvecklades ett designförslag.
