Flowing curls, serpentine tresses, and golden or darkened locks haunt fin-de-siècle Gothic fiction, where feminine hair emerges as both an object of aesthetic fascination and a mythic site of seduction, monstrosity, and feminine excess. This thesis examines the representation of feminine hair in fin-de-siècle Gothic fiction, focusing on how hair functions as a site of cultural anxieties surroundin
This study explores whether international female master’s students from non-European countries at Lund University achieve social integration, with a particular focus on friendships and sense of belonging. It also examines whether the university provides sufficient social and institutional resources to support integration. The purpose of the study is to understand what conditions Lund University pr
With consideration to an increased future energy demand, efficient energy utilization is imperative. Within the context of district heating, otherwise underutilized resources are enabled, which enhances the efficiency of the energy system. In order to facilitate increased recovery of low-grade waste heat, supply temperatures in the district heating grid can be reduced. However, supply temperature
Splitting refers to cracking in concrete caused by transverse tensile stresses and is typically mitigated through reinforcement of the concrete. In Boverkets handbok om betongkonstruktioner, BBK04 threshold values are provided for when splitting is expected to occur and when splitting reinforcement is required. In 2011, Swedish design practice transitioned to Eurokod 2, in which guidance and desig
The planet is facing one of its biggest challenges yet, climate change. Coastal flooding and erosion are some of the severe climate change effects that society is forced to handle. Climate adaptation needs to be addressed at a regional or a local level where the effects are experienced. Previous research has mostly focused on identifying which factors hinder or facilitate climate adaptation on a l
Research question: "How do individuals using semaglutide negotiate the stigma associated with its use?" Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how individuals using semaglutide negotiate the stigma associated with its use, extending moralised consumption into the underexplored domain of pharmaceutical weight loss. Theoretical perspective: The study draws on three complementar
Fertility in the United States has been quite heterogenous based on race and socioeconomic status but overall maintaining relatively high levels until recently. This thesis explores how complications during pregnancy and childbirth relate to the fertility intentions of women who are partnered to have a second child, while considering racial and socioeconomic differences. I use linear probability m
Accurate estimations of regional CO2 fluxes are essential for understanding the global carbon cycle and further mitigating climate change. Satellite-based retrievals of column-averaged carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) offer a promising avenue for estimating carbon fluxes with atmospheric inversion systems, as they provide higher spatial resolution and observation
Examensarbetets titel: Autenticitet i varumärkesaktivism - En studie om hur autenticitet förhandlas i konsumentreaktioner på sociala medier Seminariedatum: 4 juni 2026 Ämne/kurs: FEKH29, Examensarbete i marknadsföring på kandidatnivå, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Sofia Lindgren, Julia Holmström & Ella Ericsson Handledare: Annette Cerne Fem nyckelord: Autenticitet, aktivistisk marknadsföring, v
Five-membered heterocycles are a crucial moiety in medicinal chemistry and are widely present in drugs due to its broad biological profile. Disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles are used in a variety of therapeutic applications such as anti-cancer drugs, although the synthesis can be challenging. Previously, synthetic routes required harsh conditions and small range of reagents, which limits the scope of
This bachelor thesis examines how Sámi women and queer Sámi people's vulnerabilization is constructed through an indigenous feminist and western politics discourse in the report called Violence against Sámi women (Våld mot samiska kvinnor). By using critical discourse analysis and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, the thesis shows that the report constructs Sámi women's vulnerabilizati
Den ökade efterfrågan och turismen i Stockholms skärgård har skapat en identitetsmässig konflikt, där bebyggelseutvecklingen främst drivs av kommersiella besöksnäringar och privata fritidshus. Skärgårdsmiljön balanserar idag mellan strikt skyddade naturområden och exklusiva, privatiserade strandtomter, vilket lämnar lite utrymme för ett levande permanentliv. För att skärgården ska förbli en fungerThe growing demand and tourism in the Stockholm archipelago have created a conflict of identity, where property development is primarily driven by commercial hospitality industries and private seasonal housing. Today, the archipelago environment balances between strictly protected natural areas and exclusive, privatized shorelines, leaving little room for a vibrant, year-round community. For the a
While the climate crisis is escalating, environmental movements play a critical role in driving socio-political change. However, political instability is becoming more prevalent in many countries, presenting a potential opportunity and/or challenge for social mobilization. Therefore, this study investigates how environmental activists navigate political instability, based on interviews with enviro
Hur ett flerbostadshus från miljonprogrammet kan energieffektiviseras genom att renovera fasadväggarnas klimatskal undersöks i denna studie. Denna renovering ska ske med material som har en så liten klimatpåverkan som möjligt ur ett livscykelperspektiv. Anledningen är att göra renoveringen så aktuell som möjligt genom att vara anpassad efter dagens problem och behov gällande klimatomställningen saAlthough the Swedish building sector is today one of the cleanest in Europe, there remain many areas for improvement. The building sector currently accounts for 22.1% of Sweden’s total CO2 equivalent emissions, of which 28% stems from renovation and another 28% from heating. Combined with the deteriorating condition of Sweden’s Miljonprogram housing stock and its already substantial need for renov
The aim of this thesis was to determine if and to what extent leprosy and syphilis was present at the graveyard of St:Jörgen in medieval Malmö, as well as trying to understand if it was used as a leprosy hospital. A total of 42 individuals were studied in this thesis. This thesis was based on previous pathological comments regarding changes to the skeleton that could have been interpreted as eithe

The general topic of study is energy-efficient housing and user habits, with a specific focus on plus-energy houses and the impact of airing habits. The central question addressed is how user habits and airing affect the total energy use, depending on the variations in user habits. Previous research on airing and user habits remains limited. In Sweden, the currently recommended extra energy needed
Control systems at European Spallation Source (ESS) are large-scale, complex and difficult to model using traditional approaches. Data-driven methods are therefore required to model systems such as the Cryogenic Moderator System (CMS) and Target Helium Cooling System (THCS). This work presents a control-system modeling approach based on the Transformer and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), enabling l
Toxic workplaces have received increased attention in line with an increased focus on employee well-being and the psychosocial work environment. The complexity of the phenomenon, in combination with its negative impact on both individuals and organizations, makes it an important subject to investigate. Recent research shows that a toxic work environment is the strongest predictor of employee turno
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has placed retail organisations at the centre of a transformation that employees are largely left to navigate on their own. This study with the title Coping with Artificial Chaos: How Retail Organisations Make Sense of Disruptive Technological Innovations – A Qualitative Study on the Example of AI examines how retail employees make sense of disruptive
