Popular Abstract in English Consumption of multimedia content is one of the main tasks we perform in our day-to- day lives, such as listening to music on an iPod or watching the news from an online steaming service. As technology has evolved and enabled easier access to different content (basically access anything anywhere), our consumption has grown. In only the last decades we have evolved from Multimedia has become one of the cornerstones of our 21st century society and, when combined with mobility, has enabled a tremendous evolution of our society. However, joining these two concepts introduces many technical challenges. These range from having sufficient performance for handling multimedia content to having the battery stamina for acceptable mobile usage. When taking a projection of w

Popular Abstract in English The human plasma proteome containing disease-correlated protein biomarkers reflects the pathological and physiological changes relating to diseases. These biomarkers are of interest to aid in diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of diseases such as cancer. Because of the interests in the disease-correlated biomarkers, plasma, although is a complex biological sample, spanThe blood/plasma protein biomarker profile represents the pathological and physiological changes relating to human diseases. However, the plasma proteome reflects a high degree of complexity that results in a challenge for most analytical methods in clinical diagnostics. The focus in this thesis is the development and application of several integrated platforms to detect already established protei

Market-based instruments have become a widely used approach to motivate landowners to conserve forests instead of clearing them. However, such market-based instruments are increasingly criticized for their simplistic view on complex environmental, social and economic issues; for their ethical stance; and for creating exchange value for essential ecosystems services, which potentially perpetuates a

We present a three-year multidisciplinary research project that started in 2019 and is funded by FORTE (Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare). The theoretical aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the principles that underlie successful communication between the sighted and the blind via audio description (AD). The aim of a series of experiments is to ide

Popular Abstract in English Insects, birds, bats and pterosaurs have all evolved the ability to fly, even though it requires a lot of energy. The advantage is obvious: one can move about vertically, to go where others cannot, find and access distant food sources or escape your predators. But flying is also a very fast mode of transportation, and when you count the amount of energy required to get Flight is an expensive form of locomotion, but also offers the ability to travel great distances at relatively low cost. Birds have developed various adaptations for optimizing flight performance. The main aim of this thesis is to identify how morphological variables in birds affect aerodynamic drag and flight performance. To this end I studied the aerodynamic performance of a jackdaw (Corvus mone

In the licentiate thesis, it is researched and analyzed how sustainability criteria may be used in a legal framework, with the purpose to promote and safeguard sustainable products and their production. The research and analysis are conducted on the basis of the EU approach to use sustainability criteria for biofuels in the transport sector, legally expressed in Directive 2009/28/EC, and its amend

A literature review of methods where different hazards are combined into a multi-hazard index or method are presented in this report. The purpose of the review is to get an insight into approaches to combine different hazards into a multi-hazard index or method. To directly combine hazards, it is necessary to present them with the same unit of measure. This can be done with different measures for

Stress intensity factors are calculated for long plane cracks with one tip interacting with a region of graded material characteristics. The material outside the region is considered to be homogeneous. The analysis is based on assumed small differences in stiffness in the entire body. The linear extent of the body is assumed to be large compared with that of the graded region. The crack tip, inclu

Philosophers’ search for the best way to explain human actions has led many to accept a core psychological model that can be supplemented by other forms of action explanation when needed. Rather than settling for this model –where everything ultimately hinges on psychologicalexplanation – this paper argues for a pluralistic view. It does not claim that the psychological view is wrong, only that it

Collective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome. The inefficacy argument says that since one such act does not make a difference to the outcome, you have no outcome-related reason to refrain from acting in this way. If this argument holds, you have no cCollective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome.

Audio description (AD) serves as a vital means to make visual media accessible to non-sighted and visually impaired audiences. This study systematically investigates the impact of narrative specificity and voice quality on imageability and comprehension in both sighted and non-sighted populations.

Water is necessary for all life and one of the most important natural resources. The water resources problems were the reason why the project Development of the Altiplano area in Bolivia: a collaboration between Lund University (Sweden) and San Andres University in La Paz (Bolivia) was started. In the project PhD students are investigating the groundwater aquifer Challapampa that supplies the city

The importance of sustainable development has been firmly acknowledged worldwide. This is no less apparent than in the context of tourism, which despite its promise as a driver of development in low-income countries has produced a number of negative externalities for local communities, ecologies, and the environment at large. Popular conceptions of sustainable tourism like that from the United Nat

Research question: How are organizations integrating ethical and strategic considerations into their approaches to AI implementation? Purpose: The purpose of this research is to systematically map ethical and strategic themes relevant to Artificial Intelligence Systems within the business context from a practitioner standpoint. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of this research fi

The principle of patient self-determination is central to contemporary medical ethics. However, many uncertainties remain regarding its implementation in healthcare. This thesis explores, from an ethical perspective, situations in nephrology care that reveal barriers to patient self-determination or where the requirements of the principle are unclear. The thesis includes three published articles a

Ljudbänken är en specialtillverkad bänk för ljudkonst i det offentliga rummet, tillverkad av Jonas Wahlström efter en idé av ljudkonstföretaget Audiorama. Ljudbänken är just nu placerad i det nordöstra hörnet av UB-parken i Lund (utanför Språk- och litteraturcentrums hörsal). Ljudbänken spelar specialbeställda ljudverk på olika teman. Längst ner på denna sida kan du läsa om alla ljudverk som haft
