Grödan Korn och dess betydelse för människan, nu och i framtiden. Grödor är helt nödvändiga för människans fortsatta överlevnad på jorden. Hur vi använder dem, har avgjort mycket genom människans historia. Desto mer vi har arbetat med grödorna, ju fler människor har fått mat på bordet. En enorm uppgift som varit en viktig pusselbit i kampen mot svält och hungersnöd. Dagens gröda är inte den gröd

I mitt projekt tittar jag på arkitektanvändning bland privatpersoner och undersöker om det går att skapa ett alternativt sätt att nå ut till en grupp som idag inte anlitar arkitekthjälp vid hemrenoveringar. Något som kändes extra aktuellt nu då renoveringstakten bland privatpersoner ökat och vi blivit allt mer begränsade till våra hem. För att få en bättre bild av tankar och beteenden kring hemren

The purpose of the study is to contribute with knowledge of how uncertainty affects decision making processes regarding carbon footprint. This study explores companies' perspectives on what uncertainties they experience, how these uncertainties affect their decision making processes and how the companies handle these uncertainties. The study’s data is generated through semi-structured intervie

Underexplored Gram (-) bacteria as a new source of natural products. Microorganisms produce an impressive array of structurally diverse and complex natural products with industrially-important properties. Microbial natural products therefore continue to be an important source of clinical drug candidates. While natural products from a few soil Gram (+) bacteria, together with their biosynthetic pa

To maintain stability in the Swedish electricity grid, Svenska kraftnät must be able to predict future electricity production and consumption. Earlier this have been done by using historical data. Now the complexity of the system has increased, because the growing amount of electricity from non­dispatchable sources as well as the impact of climate change. Thus using only historical data will give

Den ökade erosionen till följd av havsnivåhöjningen, orsakad av klimatförändringarna, som läggs på den redan förekommande erosionen kommer få stora konsekvenser. Mark kommer att försvinna där det i dagsläget finns bostäder, vägar, järnvägar, hem för djur- och växtliv, osv. Dessutom leder erosionen till att mark som idag finns tillgänglig för nybyggen i kustnära områden inte längre kommer att existThe globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. One location with historical erosion problems is Ystad municipality in southern Sweden, where the erosive problems are probable to

Thesis purpose: This thesis aims to discover young Swedish consumers' boycott and buycott behavior of food and drink brands by understanding their decisions and participation in these practices. Methodology: This study is built upon a qualitative research design and adopts an abductive approach. A social constructionist viewpoint guides the research to help to get a deeper understanding of yo

Syftet med den här studien är att utreda hur CoClass fungerar som ett nytt klassifikationssystem och informationshanteringen i praktiken. Studien ska också undersöka varför det behövs ett nytt klassifikationssystem och även jämföras med det nuvarande BSAB-systemet. Det ska också belysa den hållbara satsningen som CoClass ska generera. Nämligen, hur CoClass är mer sammanhängande och konsekvent än d

Tissue shortage for lung transplantation remains a problem worldwide as lung transplantation is often the only available option with numerous possible complications. Generating lung tissue ex-vivo has been proposed as one way to potentially overcome this shortage. For this, tissue engineering is one potential strategy to either repair, replace or regenerate damaged tissue and organs. In this thesi

Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a feature of computer systems that allows hardware subsystems to access the main memory of the system independent of the Central Processing Unit (CPU). With the rise of big data transfers from/to different I/O devices, the use of DMA controllers has increased significantly. The work of DMA is not limited to only offloading processor data transfer tasks, but it can tra

A commonly used method in remediation projects is to excavate the contaminated soil and treat it in another location or put it in a landfill. The remediation site is then refilled with crushed stones. When the original soil and its initial organisms are removed and replaced with only crushed stones, the environmental properties are changed. This can affect both primary production and the flora and

Universal Design is a design principle that has been in recent years gaining growing prevalence in the design of physical and social environments and product innovation. Universal Design is referred to as the process of creating products, services, and environments for people with a wide range of (dis)abilities and other characteristics, without special adaptation ‘to the greatest extent possible.

Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia is an inland governorate in Tunisia that has undergone a rapid agricultural and urban development since the Tunisian independence in 1952 from being a rural and largely nomadic region into a hub of irrigated agriculture. In 2010 Mohamed Bouazizi sparked the Tunisian revolution by lighting himself on fire int he city of Sidi Bouzid, with some blaming the inequality and water sc

Entrepreneurship education is becoming ever more popular, especially at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM), due to entrepreneurship being important to job generation and a source for economic growth and development. Yet, the topic of how learnings from the program are applied in regards to subsequent careers is unexplored as current research mostly highlights what entrepren
