The development of good writing skills is fundamental not only to publish scientific results, but also to have a deeper understanding of complex subjects. However reports from the Swedish Higher Education Authority from 2012-2015 suggest that engineering students at Lund University have unsatisfactory academic writing skills. Our paper investigates how students of the Faculty of Engineering at Lun

User Generated Content (UGC) is projected to make up a significant part of the total Internet traffic in the future. As such, it will significantly contribute to the total cost for Internet traffic worldwide. Arguably, UGC is a suitable content type for which the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can take initiative and enter the content delivery market. However, despite its significance, UGC cont

Even though anthropogenic nano-sized tungsten carbide nanoparticles (WC NPs) have been found in the environment, there are currently no investigations on their environmental fate. This work studies the interaction between natural organic matter (NOM) and WC NPs, as well as the potential uptake by the aquatic model organism Daphnia magna. We here show that the affinity between WC NPs and humic acid

Barns plats i juridiken och i rättssalen är inte helt självklar. Vad gäller mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer tenderar samtliga inblandade att förbise barnen. Denna uppsats avser därför att belysa hur gällande rätt reglerar barn som bevittnar våld i nära relationer och vad det får för konsekvenser för barnens skydd, i syfte att utröna om barnen bör vara brottsoffer även enligt brottsbalken. Children’s place in the courtroom and in law in general is not evident. When it comes to domestic violence against women, the people involved in the following legal proceedings tend to overlook them. The aim of this thesis is thus to illuminate how the established law in Sweden regulates children who witness domestic violence, and the consequences for their protection thereof. The specific purpose

Purpose: Supply chains lack transparency due to their complexity and fragmentation. Blockchain technology is increasingly expected to revolutionise businesses and promises to create trustworthy transparency. This study aimed to investigate the potentials of blockchain technology for supply chain transparency beyond the growing glorification. Methodology: The potentials, as well as immaturities and

This study aims to examine how support persons at anonymous support chat services describe their role in conversations with children who are abused by relatives and how they use their discretion to fulfil this role. Semistructured interviews were made with five support persons working at different anonymous support chats in Sweden. The analysis of data was guided by an interactionist perspective a

The white light LEDs of today are usually based on a blue LED and a phosphor, converting the blue light to longer wavelengths. While these phosphor-converted LEDs are extremely efficient compared to incandescent light or fluorescent light, there is still plenty of room for improvement. In the conversion between blue light and light of lower energy approximately 25-45 % of the radiant power is lost

Ecosystem services from forestry are highly valuable and may be limited by ungulate browsing. Thus, I investigated the impact and seasonality of browsing on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) using seasonal exclosures. Slightly more than 10 % of the pine trees were browsed at the top shoot, compared to spruce where top shoot browsing was almost non-existent. Pines that h

I Sverige utgör principen om avtalsfrihet en grundläggande princip inom den kommersiella kontraktsrätten. Avtalsfriheten innebär att parterna själva anses kunna disponera över avtalets innehåll och utformning. Denna princip möjliggör en omfördelning av risk i förhållande till vad som hade gällt enligt dispositiv rätt. Vanligt är att det i såväl standardiserade avtal som i individuellt framtagna avThe principle of freedom of contract is a fundamental principle in commercial contract law in Sweden. Freedom of contract means that the parties themselves are considered to be able to dispose of the content and shape of the agreement. This principle enables a redistribution of risk in relation to what would have applied under optional law. It is common for both standardized agreements and individ

In the ever evolving and ambiguous environment of VAT treatment of sales of shares, the underlying purpose test has arisen as a new form of controversy. While it seems to be a viable method for establishing in specific circumstances a strong enough direct and immediate link to guarantee deduction also for costs incurred in relation to an exempt or out-of-scope share disposal, the test’s nature and

AI-modellen ChatGPT har blivit omåttligt populär på kort tid och används dagligen av miljontals människor. Genom att analysera stora mängder data bestående av offentlig information utför AI-modellen tjänster som CVskrivande, diktkomponerande och besvarande av frågor om allt från vetenskap, till kultur och historia. ChatGPT används i mycket stor utsträckning, trots att den genererade informationen

In large corporations, customer support is a costly service, and an area of constant optimization. Solutions to increase efficiency and decrease bottlenecks are constantly needed. One such bottleneck is support tool proficiency in a customer support organization where many different tools are used, and a potential solution is to let the tool guide the user as it is being used. This thesis explores

Title: Spare Parts Inventory Management - A Case Study at Axis Communications AB Purpose: The purpose of the thesis was to explore the phenomenon of spare parts in the forward supply chain and identify the challenges, gaps, and opportunities to increase the overall efficiency of their spare parts inventory management practices. Background: Organisations have recognized the need for balancing the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den äldre befolkningen i Sverige ökar i antal och med det ökar även antalet äldre med många sjukdomar som behöver läkemedel. Personer som är 75 år eller äldre utgör 9% av Sveriges befolkning men använder mer än 25% av alla läkemedel. I takt med att man blir äldre sker en del förändringar i kroppens funktioner som kan påverka effekten av läkemedel. De största förändringThe aim of this thesis was to investigate whether a structured and systematic approach on improving pharmacotherapy in the elderly (the LIMM-model) would lead to a more appropriate and accurate drug use in the elderly. The elderly use many drugs and are more prone to suffer from adverse drug reaction. It is therefore important to address the quality of their drug therapy. The first study presente

In this thesis I examine pastoralists’ marginalization when it comes to land ownership in Tanzania, through a Minor Field Study based on interviews. The perception on pastoralism is since colonial times very negative and their way of living do not seem appropriate for the 21st century by the government. Pastoralists face a multitude of problems such as land alienation, degraded resources, conflict

Outdoor climate has considerable impact on the indoor climate and it is therefore important to adapt the buildings to the climate. This thesis shows how to improve indoor climate in a climate which it is hot, dry in the summer and cold in the winter. My investigative unit is a middle class house in the town Baalbek in Lebanon and the purpose of the study is to come up with proposals on possible so
