Indolent lymphomas pose a challenge in diagnostics through fine needle aspirations due to their similarities to benign growths on a microscopic level. For a proper diagnosis, the patient has to endure a more invasive surgery for extraction of lymphatic tissue through which indolence can be determined. The hypothesis was that diagnostics of indolent lymphomas using only the less invasive fine needl
Despite a persistent reliance on conventional grey infrastructure solutions, there is increasing recognition of the vital role of nature-inclusive urban planning in managing climate risks such as floods and heatwaves while simultaneously promoting biodiversity, human health, and well-being. This multifunctionality underscores nature's intrinsic importance, reframing it as a fundamental necessi
Prominent female figures engaging in the societal debate, such as journalists and activists, tend to be targeted for online hate speech and threats disproportionally. At the same time, people in Sweden depend on an online presence to function as individuals. Feminist security studies have yet to incorporate the gendered online dimensions of hate speech and threats. This paper examines how the femi
The existence of a baryon number violating process is one of Shakarov's conditions to explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. The Standard Model is nearly symmetric with respect to the baryon number, and hence we are motivated to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this thesis, we consider an effective field theory operator that couples the neutron to a proposed dark
This thesis critically assesses the integration of social sciences and interdisciplinarity within the international science-policy interfaces Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). I depart from a theoretical framework using the concepts of academic disciplines, interdisciplinary work and scient
Objective Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is crucial for evaluating and ensuring the fidelity of images. Traditional human-based evaluations, although reliable, are impractical due to their cost and slow pace, combined with subjective inconsistencies. This thesis aims to address these issues by developing a test and quality bench for Bertin Exensor's dual-head camera, integrating both infrared
Konceptet om Human Rights Cities (MR-städer) är ett relativt nytt tillägg i ramverket om mänskliga rättigheter och fokuserar på de lokala myndigheternas integrering av mänskliga rättigheter i sin oentliga förvaltning och verksamhetsstyrning. Studien avser därmed att undersöka hur ett globalt koncept tillämpas på lokal nivå i Lund, samt vilka nyckelfaktorer som är centrala i Lunds rättighetsbaserad
This paper investigates the relationship between measures of policy uncertainty, investor attention, and Bitcoin markets at a national level. To date, there are limited studies on the region-specific impact of policy uncertainty and investor attention on Bitcoin, despite evidence showing significant heterogeneities in the use, purpose, and acceptance of Bitcoin across different countries. These he
In response to regulatory directives mandating climate risk assessment and mitigation by financial institutions, this thesis examines the broader impact of climate change on this sector. The European Union's CRR3/CRD6 mandates the integration of climate risks into financial institutions' Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), guided by the European Banking Authority (EBA). T
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att bidra med ökad förståelse för i vilken utsträckning svenska revisorer upplever en prispress och hur deras yrkesverksamhet påverkas av en eventuell prispress. Metod: Studien har genomförts med en kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod med en abduktiv ansats. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Den teoretiska referensramen har skapats med utgångspunkt i agentteorin. Vidare
Nya standarder kräver att ett klämskydd ska installeras på alla dörrar där det förekommer en automatisk dörröppnare. Detta säkerställer att ett finger inte oavsiktligt placeras i dörrens bakkant och därmed riskeras att skadas allvarligt. Försäljningen av denna typ av produkt har varit trög, men en ny produkt med ett kraftigt reducerat pris kommer förhoppningsvis bidra till ett lyft i försäljningen
The development of the renewable energy sources and the amount installations in Sweden and also in other countries have increased a lot the last years, this is especially true for solar- and wind power. Main reason for the increase of the renewable energy sources is to decrease the usage of fossil fuels and thus to decrease the impact on the climate. The integration of the renewable energy sources

Syftet med studien har varit att utveckla en metod för flygfotografering som är lätt att använda, relativt billig och ger tillräckligt högupplösta bilder för att urskilja individuella trädkronor. Flygbilder har blivit ett värdefullt verktyg för skogsförvaltning genom tiderna på grund av den fördelaktiga vyn och möjligheterna att erhålla uppdaterad information. I studien flygs en heliumballong över
Climate change and increasing urbanization gives societies great challenges in managing urban planning for a sustainable future. Urbanization aggravates floods by increasing the amount of impermeable surfaces and by modifying flow routes. Resilience is the capability to recover from a stress and high resilience is seen as the goal of a healthy development. By including the concept of resilience in
Problem/ Bakgrund: Genom historien har synen på brott och straff förändrats. Hur ser relationen mellan brott och straff ut?, hur påverkar dem varandra och hur ser före detta kriminella på relationen mellan brott och straff i jämförelse med teorier om den relationen? Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka kriminella personers uppfattningar om hur straffskalan påverkar brottsfrekvensen, samt
In this master´s dissertation I investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations in clay, if suction is taken into account during the calculations. The work has been performed at, and in cooperation with, Sweco Civil AB as well as the Dept. of Construction Sciences at Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. The objective of this master´s dissertation is to asse
Crowdfunding is a financing method based on raising smaller funds from a large audience over the internet. The data used in this quantitative study includes all 1080 reward and equity campaigns uploaded on the Swedish crowdfunding platform FundedByMe from 2011 to 2015. I aim at providing evidence of what factors that influence the success rate of crowd- funding campaigns. To answer this, I have ru
After the outbreak of the financial crisis in Europe in 2008, the strategies to antagonize its con-sequences, involved the implementation of internal devaluation policies such as nominal wage suppressions. The effectiveness of these policies has undergone various studies with rather negative criticism and evaluation. To produce further research and perform an empirical analy-sis in this field, thi
