Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease driven by persistent fibroblast activation, abnormal epithelial to mesenchymal signaling and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Better pre-clinical models are needed to reproduce these processes and to support antifibrotic drug development. This thesis tested whether an in vitro co-culture model
Examensarbetet undersöker hur järnvägen idag dräneras och hur klimatförändringar påverkan järnvägen och dess dräneringssystem. Resultaten visar att vatten har en stor påverkan på järnvägens hållfasthet och hur viktiga trummor är för att hantera vattenflöden. I och med klimatets förändringar som orsakar större nederbördsmängder och vattenflöden i norra Sverige och torka i södra kommer framtidens prThe thesis evaluates how the railway is drained today and how climate change will affect the railway and its drainage capability. The results show that water has a big impact of the railways structural integrity and how important drums are to handle waterflow. The climate change causes greater precipitation amounts and waterflows in northerns Sweden and droughts in the south. The project planning
Brookfield viscometers are widely used in industrial quality control because they are simple and practical, but the viscosity values obtained are relative to the instrument, spindle, container geometry, and measurement procedure. In contrast, rotational rheometers such as the Anton Paar RheolabQC provide more defined rheological data under controlled shear conditions. This thesis developed and eva
Modern integrated circuits contain extensive on-chip instrumentation—Ring Oscillators (ROs), temperature sensors, voltage monitors, and delay-measurement circuits—originally intended for reliability monitoring and process calibration. The same physical sensitivity that makes these instruments effective sensors also makes them potential side-channel receivers. An adversary who can place or exploit
The loss of regulatory control over radioactive material and sources poses great risks to public safety. Such a situation necessitates the development of protocols and methods for effective and accurate localisation, characterisation and securement of the materials. Mobile gamma spectrometry, particularly using vehicle-borne detectors, has emerged as a viable method for in-situ characterisation of
Förarapplikationer används i allt större utsträckning hos yrkesförare för att stödja företags ruttplanering, orderhantering, dokumentation och intern/extern kommunikation. När förare behöver läsa, tolka och/eller interagera med information i situationer kopplade till körning kan dessa system även skapa visuell, manuell och kognitiv distraktion, vilket ökar risken för trafikrelaterade skador. DettaDriver applications are increasingly used in professional driving to support route planning, order management, documentation, and communication. When drivers need to read, interpret, or interact with information in close proximity to driving, these systems can also create visual, manual, and cognitive distractions, increasing traffic safety risk. This master's thesis was conducted in collabora
This thesis examines Flatus lifir, a widely recognized phenomenon in Iceland’s rural public space. Located in Kollafjörður on the outskirts of Reykjavík, the work has existed in several different forms over time and has become embedded within Icelandic public memory and popular culture. It appeared as an anonymous graffiti tag decades ago and later evolved into three distinct mural iterations in t
In estuarine ports, ballast water operations can be affected by short-term changes in water quality, especially when suspended sediment concentrations increase. This thesis assesses turbidity-related water-quality conditions relevant to ballast water operations in the Port of Hamburg, focusing on Seemannshöft during 2018–2024. Because direct total suspended solids (TSS) measurements were limited,
Background: Monitoring of essential physiological parameters is standard practice during magnetic resonance imaging, MRI. However, signal extraction and post-examination analysis of these parameters at SUS Lund is limited, mainly due to insufficient software capabilities. Yet researchers and physicians alike have voiced their interest in a program that manages structured and synchronized capture o
Natural products are of great interest for a variety of powerful applications that are related to the biological activity of small organic molecules inspired by nature. While the landscape of natural products is structurally abundant, their occurrence in nature is very scarce, posing a challenge to isolate them in quantities required to be studied and used in pharmaceutical application. This work
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård präglas av personalbrist, hög arbetsbelastning och svårigheter att behålla sjuksköterskor. Trots att fler utbildar sig till sjuksköterskor lämnar många yrket eller söker sig till andra arbetsgivare på grund av bristande arbetsmiljö och hög psykosocial belastning. Detta påverkar vårdens kvalitet, kompetensförsörjning och arbetsmiljö. Det finns av den anledningen behov
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 produced one of the largest displacement movements in contemporary Europe, with millions of Ukrainians seeking protection across the European Union. While migration from Ukraine has often been understood through the lenses of safety, protection, and humanitarian need, wartime mobility can also become morally charged. Decisions to leave, stay
Wildfire observations are increasingly important as changing wildfire regimes globally affect societies and ecosystems. Wildfire behaviour, comprising the way that wildfires spread through the landscape, connects wildfire to its physical controls and has been shown to predict other wildfire characteristics. However, observations of wildfire behaviour are limited due to the spatial and temporal res
Textilavfall är ett globalt problem med stora konsekvenser för miljön. Endast i Europa slängs 7–7,5 miljoner ton textilier bort varje år, vilket motsvarar cirka 15 kilo textilavfall per person och år. Textil återvinning kan vara ett sätt att reducera mängden textilavfall som hamnar i deponi eller förbränns, genom att istället använda avfall som råvara för nyproduktion. En storskalig implementering
Transportsektorn står inför ökande krav på mer hållbara transportlösningar. Supercykelvägar har introducerats som ett verktyg för att främja cykling genom att förbättra trafiksäkerhet, komfort, tillgänglighet och attraktivitet. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka användarnas upplevelser av supercykelvägen mellan Laröd och Helsingborg C. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av en webbaserad enkät rik
Sociala medier har blivit en central arena där konsumtionsrelaterat innehåll, trender och knapphetspräglade produkter sprids i ett snabbt tempo mellan konsumenter. Samtidigt har användningen av knapphetstaktiker såsom begränsade upplagor och tidsbegränsade erbjudanden blivit allt vanligare inom marknadsföring. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på sambandet mellan knapphetstaktiker, FOMO och
Abstract This thesis examines how Swedish civil society organizations (CSOs) construct and communicate their role in crisis preparedness through online communication, and what perceived gaps between civil society and the state emerge through this discourse. Drawing on a qualitative digital ethnographic approach, the study analyzes Facebook posts and selected organizational reports from the Swedish
The aim of this study was to explore how young adults experience social adaptation on social media compared to everyday offline life. The research question was: how do young adults experience social adaptation online and offline? The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study using semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and based on five interviews wit
The purpose of this study is to investigate how school counselors describe their work in conversations about gender identity and sexuality with high school students, with particular attention paid to the importance of language and ethical considerations. This study is a qualitative method study, based on interviews with school counselors in southern Sweden. The results show that school counselors
