Introduction: Shea butter is a kernel derived fat which includes several classes of compounds including lipids like tri- and diacylglycerols as well as unsaponifiable components. Background: Accurate determination of the compound class composition of shea butter is important for industry to quantify the levels of wanted compounds. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) coupled with refractive index
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and Rapid urbanization has been a notable trend, with the urban population increasing from 5% to 42% between 1972 and 2023. This internal migration has led to a surge in demand for housing in cities like Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna. It is found from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) that each year, 200,000 units
This essay examines the film character Laura Palmer from the television series Twin Peaks and the feature film Fire Walk With Me. The purpose of this essay is to discuss how the character Laura Palmer differs between the series and the film. How does she change from being an object to a subject, and how do we see a change between the series and the film? This is done in dialogue with Laura Mulvey&
“Get Ready With Me” som vuxenpraktik, adultification av flickor i TikToks vardagsestetik”,en B-uppsats av Tindra Fors och Ebba Adamson i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, vid Institutionen för kommunikation, Lunds universitet. Denna studie undersöker hur TikTok-fenomenet “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) bidrar till att skapa handlingsutrymme för adultification av unga flickor. I ett digitalt medieland
Denna rapport undersöker relationen mellan arkitektur och identitet genom en jämförande studie av Västra Hamnen i Malmö, Sverige, och Beirut waterfront vid Beiruts kust, Libanon. Genomanalys av bostads design, arkitektoniska uttryck, material och utformning av offentliga rum belyses hur stadsbyggnad kan skapa eller underminera känslan av tillhörighet, minne och identitet i olika kulturella och kli
This master’s thesis examines similarities and differences in operational work, training, and the use of technology related to Smart Firefighting in Sweden and Hong Kong. Smart Firefighting has been proposed as a response to challenges arising from modern urban development, where data from smart buildings, combined with AI and digital tools, could support fire and rescue services. However, such da

The aim of this project is to discuss how designers can contribute to gender equality and female empowerment in craft-production industry. The study was done as a collaboration with the Indian organization Industree to study methods designers can use to assure that the economic/social balance in the value chain is fair. The organization works with craft-production as a means of generating income a
Introduction: In this thesis, I critically examine three discourses, prevalent within the 'field' of sexual violence in migration. Methodology: Taking a poststructuralist approach, I deconstruct the beforementioned discourses in a threefold analysis. Results: I find, that the binary gender system is still dominating, and that certain ideas about 'men' and 'women', their bod
This master thesis was conducted in collaboration with ateljé Lyktan and aimed to develop a concept for a decorative luminaire for public indoor environments, based on an already established design concept. The objective was to create an alternative to the recessed LED panel commonly used in ceiling grid systems, which often lack aesthetic character and fail to provide lighting that meets visual e
This thesis investigates how Artificial Intelligence can collaborate across the entire product development process, using the case of playfulness through lighting as the design context. The project follows the development of a playful table lamp from early research to the final product, comparing traditional methods with AI-assisted approaches to understand where AI adds value and where human expe
Transverse Resonant Island Buckets (TRIBs) is a promising method for pseudo-single bunch delivery in the MAX IV 1.5 GeV storage ring. In this thesis, a theoretical model of the non-linear optics based on resonant Hamiltonian mechanics is applied to the TRIBs optics. Measurement techniques for characterizing the TRIBs orbit are developed and tested and compared with theoretical predictions and nume
Environmental simulations are increasingly used in urban planning to assess parameters that influence adequate living conditions in densification projects, such as daylight access, noise exposure, wind comfort, and flood risk. These simulations rely on geospatial data and on the representation of the urban environment through 3D city models. However, in current planning practice, simulation result
This thesis investigates whether volatility in the U.S. and the European equity markets influences each other and whether sush cross-market effects improve volatility forecasting. Using the S&P 500 and STOXX Europe 600 as representative indices, the study models volatility dynamis with Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) framework and an extended specification that allowa for spillover effects
This study evaluated the performance of a new lignin-based activated carbon (AC) for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated groundwater from Korsør, Denmark. Preliminary tests using 14C-labeled PFOA and scintillation counting were conducted to compare adsorption capacities of three lignin-based AC variants and a commercial AC (Norit BAE Super), guiding the sele
För att åstadkomma ett cirkulärt materialhanteringssystem och minska växthusgasutsläppen är materialåtervinning en avgörande faktor. Bygg- och anläggningsbranschen står för runt 20 % av Europas plastanvändning och plast är det vanligaste materialet för tillverkning av rör för vatten och avlopp (VA). Det här examensarbetet syftar till att analysera förutsättningarna för ökad användning av VA-rör avTo achieve a circular material management system and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, material recycling is a crucial factor. The construction and civil engineering sectors together account for 20 % of Europe’s plastic consumption, and plastic is the most common material used in the manufacturing of water and wastewater pipes. This master’s thesis aims to analyse the possibilities for increased us
Sammanfattning Den här studien undersöker tekniska lösningar för bräddmätning inom VA SYDs ledningsnät, med fokus på att förbättra driftssäkerheten vid kritiska bräddpunkter.
