This thesis examines the degree to which the comparator test and detriment test, as the two prevailing tests for direct discrimination in Australia, are compatible with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (‘CRPD’). Drawing on the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’ evolutive interpretation of the CRPD, this thesis derives two normative requirements for legis
This study explores the initial motivations of founders to hire the first employees in their firms, how those early hires begin to perform a relevant role, and how they shape founders’ motivations toward subsequent hiring decisions. Focusing on five startups in Sweden and incorporating the perspectives of both founders and joiners, this study is relevant as entrepreneurial firms play a significant
In multi-view sports broadcasting, extracting high-quality highlights and selecting the optimal camera angle from concurrent video streams is traditionally a labor-intensive process with significant computational overhead. This thesis explores the feasibility of automating the production of multi-view sports highlights using Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). To manage the high computatio
Uppsatsen behandlar CISG:s tillämplighet vid internationella kommersiella varuköp med svensk anknytning samt förutsättningarna för att utesluta konventionen enligt artikel 6. Särskilt fokus ligger på hur lagvalsklausuler, standardvillkor samt andra avtalsformuleringar ska bedömas när det är oklart om parterna faktiskt har avsett att sätta CISG åt sidan. Syftet är att undersöka under vilka förutsät
The combination of photonics and nano-structures offers a multitude of solutions for artificial neural networks. Light is not only fast, but reduces the clutter and energy losses associated with wired connections. Energy demand is further reduced by implementing nano-components, which decreases the size of the footprint. Researchers are developing a nano-chip that combines sensing and neural compu
Plant-based meat analogs (PBMAs) are defined as foods formulated from plant proteins that imitate meat structure, flavor and physical appearance. In the past decade, the market for PBMA has increased nearly threefold with global retail sales of $6,6 billion in 2024 compared to $2,2 billion in 2015, as part of a broader shift toward a more plant-based diet. However, knowledge of the microbiological
During start-up of tablet presses in pharmaceutical manufacturing, multiple weight adjustments are often required before the tablet weight falls within acceptable limits. This leads to delayed production and a waste of material. The aim of this work was to develop a predictive model to reduce the number of adjustments during start-ups and thereby reduce the amount of rejected material. A linear r
Införandet av kvartär rening i svenska avloppsreningsverk är en följd av det reviderade europeiska avloppsdirektivet och syftar till att minska utsläppen av organiska mikroföroreningar till recipienter. Dimensioneringen av kvartär rening påverkas i hög grad av inkommande flöden, vilka varierar både över tid och mellan olika reningsverk. Särskilt betydelsefullt är valet av dimensionerande flöde sam
Methane (CH₄) emissions from landfills are a key uncertainty in Sweden’s national greenhouse gas inventory. This thesis evaluates whether UAV-based CH₄ measurements can complement inventory-based estimates, using Filborna landfill in southern Sweden as a case study. UAV-derived emissions from 2022–2024 were compared with an IPCC Tier 2 First Order Decay model, reproduced from Sweden’s national inv
This thesis explores whether people who participate in the European mobility program of Erasmus are capable of developing a bias due to the practice of different languages on a daily life basis. The research is also based on the three pillars that the Erasmus programme is built around: mobility, cooperation and support to policy development. A semi- structured interview with participants to this
Oats are common ingredients in many food products. They are valued for their nutritional composition and functional properties. At the same time, oat-based products can develop off-flavours during processing. Lipid oxidation is one important cause of this problem. Aldehydes such as hexanal and nonanal are especially relevant because they can give rancid, grassy, and stale notes. In this project, s
Surfboard bags are precious cargo. At least, they are to the traveling surfer. The anonymous baggage handler tossing that bag into a plane’s undercarriage? Not so much. Hence why, all too often, there are horror stories of broken boards by airlines, surf trips ruined, and angry social media posts. As a surfer I have encountered the uncertainty of whether my surfboards made it in one piece to my
The Gaia space observatory has produced astrometric measurements of extraordinary precision, enabling detection of exoplanets through the reflex motion of their host stars. With Gaia Data Release 4 (DR4) scheduled for December 2026, which will include full epoch astrometry, methods for orbital parameter recovery are needed. This work presents a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) framework fo
Abstract Introduction: Pneumatic tube system transportation produces particles in protein-based drugs. Background: Different methods have been used to simulate the conditions of pneumatic tube system transportation, and have shown clear correlations to particle formation. Aim(s): The aim of this work is to determine how particle formation and particle size in silicone-free and silicone oil syri
Solar drying technologies give smallholder farmers in low- to middle-income countries (LMIC) a low-cost way to reduce post-harvest losses and add value to agricultural produce. Yet bringing solar-dried products to market remains poorly understood, particularly in fragmented food systems where structural conditions shape market entry in ways that standard frameworks do not account for.

Bildandet av beläggningar på värmeväxlarytor (fouling) är ett stort problem vid värmebehandling av mejeriprodukter och växtbaserade drycker, eftersom det leder till ökat rengöringsbehov och stopp i produktionen. Konventionell rengöring använder kemiska rengöringsmedel (syra och bas), vilket har en negativ miljöpåverkan. Ett potentiellt alternativ till detta är den mer miljövänliga enzymatiska rengFouling is a major problem during heat treatment of dairy and plant-based beverages, leading to increased cleaning demand and production downtime. Conventional cleaning methods rely on chemical detergents (acids and bases), which raise sustainability concerns. A potential cleaning option is the use of enzymes, which has a lower environmental impact. Plant-based dairy alternatives are increasing i
Long-term university–industry strategic partnerships require continuous coordination across multiple activities, focus areas, roles, and governance levels. Using the Tetra Pak–Lund University (TP–LU) partnership as the empirical setting, this thesis aims to design a strategic partnership dashboard for governance support and to develop design-oriented knowledge for shared dashboard use in similar l
Syftet med denna studie är att bidra till en fördjupad förståelse för hur parasociala relationer formas och får betydelse i influencer marketing, särskilt i en kontext präglad av spontant och temporärt innehåll. Studien undersöker hur influencers arbetar med att skapa och upprätthålla relationer genom Snapchat, hur följare upplever och tolkar dessa relationer samt hur relationerna påverkar förståe
Integrationen av generativ AI inom DevSecOps medför genomgripande förändringar för IT- praktikers säkerhetsarbete, men befintlig forskning har huvudsakligen belyst teknisk effektivitet snarare än IT-praktikers subjektiva upplevelse. Genom en interpretativ ansats och sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med IT-praktiker analyseras empirin med stöd av Affordance-teorin och human-in-the-loop för att bely
The purpose of this thesis is to, with a cultural analytical perspective, examine one of Sweden’s forgotten cultural heritages: patient art from the old mental institutions. This is to increase the knowledge about the interaction between humans, society, creativity, sickness and health care. The material consists of patient art and patient journals of three patients: Tor Norling, Hilda Petersson o
