This thesis presents the development and validation of an analysis framework to study quantum decoherence in neutral B-meson pairs produced at the $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonance, using Monte Carlo simulated data from the Belle experiment. Unlike the $\Upsilon(4S)$, the $\Upsilon(5S)$ provides access to both antisymmetric ($C=-1$) and symmetric ($C=+1$) quantum states through the channels $B^0\bar{B}^0$,
This work studies the mechanism behind the photo-degradation of 2 types of COF nanoparticle, hoping to provide a deeper understanding of photophysics of catalytic process. As a new field of organic materials, COFs are undergoing fast development, which offers a powerful molecular platform for complex structural design and tailorable development. Lots of studies have been carried out to figure out
The European luxury goods sector faces a convergence of sustainability-related pressures including tightening EU regulations, shifting consumer expectations, and reputational exposure linked to supply chain controversies. While Corporate Social Responsibility has been the dominant framework through which luxury brands have tried to overcome these challenges, its limitations in connecting social co
Malta’s construction boom has resulted an increase in urban density and a decrease in green spaces over recent years. To combat this, in 2025 the social movement Post Għalina launched a campaign to transform Manoel Island, a largely undeveloped island near Valletta, into a national park. This thesis employs a qualitative case study utilizing social movement theory to examine Post Għalina’s creatio
Sweden’s housing policies from the post-Second World War to the 1970s were grounded in the idea of sanering, slum-clearing and reconstruction, and essentially aimed at reforming regional planning. Through the sanering approaches, some regions changed their characteristics in a shrinking way. Nevertheless, previous studies rarely focused on either sanering or its impacts on regional development. Mo
Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina har inneburit en avgörande förändring i svensksäkerhetspolitik. Inom totalförsvaret har kommunerna en central funktion genom sitt ansvar församhällsviktig verksamhet och för den civila beredskapen. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka omoch hur kommunal planering för civil beredskap har förändrats till följd av det nya säkerhetspolitiskaläget. FrågeställThis study aims to examine if and how the planning of civil preparedness in Swedish municipalities haschanged in response to a shifting global security landscape. The study uses the year 2022 as a breakingpoint. This is due to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and its impact on European securitypolitics.

The UK achieved the ambitious goal of becoming the first G7 country to phase out coal-firedelectricity, with its last power station, Ratcliffe-on-Soar closing in 2024. Ensuring thisgeneration of transitioning communities does not follow in the footsteps of ‘left behind’ UKex-mining villages for example, is imperative. This study investigates and compares theimaginaries of place leaders and locals
This thesis examines how middle managers construct, enact, and navigate organizational values in everyday managerial practice. While organizational values are often presented as stable principles intended to guide behavior and create cohesion, the everyday realities of managerial work are more ambiguous and relational than such representations suggest, particularly for middle managers positioned b
The discovery of petroleum in Norway provides a useful way of examining how natural resource wealth interacts with institutional development in an already strong institutional environment. While much of the previous literature on the resource curse focuses on weak-institutional oil-states, the Nordic comparison setting allows for an examination in a semi-controlled environment with strong pre-exis
Due to climate change, cocoa harvests have decreased yearly, leading to increased scarcity and rising market prices of cocoa butter. At the same time, cocoa butter is a key ingredient in chocolate, responsible for its unique melting properties. Thus, there is a growing interest in producing fats with similar characteristics, so called cocoa butter equivalents. Cocoa butter equivalents consist of s
Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems have become central components of contemporary healthcare digitalization and are often associated with large-scale organizational change. Previous research on EHR implementation has primarily focused on systems that have already been implemented or are in active use, while less attention has been directed toward how healthcare professionals make sense of anti
This study explores how newly graduated employees experience assigned mentorship in relation to other workplace support during their transition from higher education into professional roles. Drawing on organizational socialization, mentorship, and developmental network perspectives, the study examines how support is navigated, assessed and used during organizational entry. The study adopts a qual
Inspired by the experimental work performed in the research group led by Ville Maisi at Lund University, this thesis investigates a hybrid quantum setup in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED). The system consists of a microwave resonator coupled to a double quantum dot (DQD) acting as an internal sensor to indirectly detect the state of an external quantum system. Using input-output theory and
The rapid public adoption of large language models (LLMs) has transformed written communication and creative production, while simultaneously creating growing concerns regarding authenticity, misinformation, and the preservation of human authorship. As AI-generated literary content becomes increasingly sophisticated, the ability to reliably distinguish machine-generated prose from authentic human
Detta examensarbete behandlar utmattningsbedömning av åtdragningsbultar i packningsförsedda plattvärmeväxlare, med särskilt fokus på skillnaden mellan konservativa kodbaserade livslängdsprognoser och den långa livslängd som observerats i praktiken. Arbetet behandlar två utmattningsbidrag: högcyklisk driftbelastning och monteringsbelastning med större amplitud. För driftbelastningen undersöks om deThis thesis investigates fatigue assessment of tightening bolts in gasketed plate heat exchangers, with particular focus on the discrepancy between conservative code-based predictions and the long service lives observed in practice. The work addresses two fatigue contributions: high-cycle operational loading and larger-amplitude assembly loading. For the operational loading, the study examines whe
The IPCC’s Illustrative Mitigation Pathways achieving below 2°C of global warming increasingly rely on Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACCS). Research has largely concentrated on techno-economic aspects, while community perspectives have been almost exclusively focused on in the Global North. This thesis presents the first empirical case study of a commercial DACCS facility in Africa. Drawing on
Introduction: Urocanate reductases (UrdA) are enzymes in the gut microbiota that catalyse the production of imidazole propionate (ImP), which is implicated in diseases like type 2 diabetes, and therefore it is of medical interest to co-crystallize the protein with new potential ligands in order to develop inhibitors, which can be used to lower the ImP concentration in the blood. Background: Sever
