The aim of this thesis is to suggest a statistical model to estimate the loss rates of honey bees during winter in Sweden. The estimator is to be based on annual summary statistics, collected by the Swedish beekeeping organisation. Regional specific estimates for winter loss rate is derived by a spatial and temporal hierarchical model with binomial response. The model is updated by Bayesian infere

We investigated the performance of basic jet subtraction, by the utilization of jet reconstruction generally used at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This was done by studying Z-bosons, in the dielectron decay channel, and the associated jet correlation in pp, pPb and PbPb collisions, using datasets generated by the Monte Carlo generator PYTHIA8. The PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV a

Statistics in Sweden show that more than 160,000 people applied for asylum in 2015 alone. Out of that number, over 35,000 applicants are unaccompanied minors ( Migrationsverket , 2016). The work around these minors is of utmost importance to ensure they can integrate to the society and become self-sufficient in the future. Under crisis conditions, allocating resources in the most effective and eff

While the general process of mineralization and bone formation during embryogenesis is well understood, little is known about the detailed mechanisms and the structural and compositional characteristics of developing bone. At present, studies on fetal bones have been conducted, but most of these studies have been on the macro- and microscale. Bone tissue constitutes of an organic and inorganic ma

Mode står likt arkitektur med ena benet i konsten och det andra i funktionen. Mode är allt från en tröja som håller dig varm till en haute couture-klänning som snarare är att betrakta som konst. Kläder bär vi alla och därmed berör mode fler människor än annan kultur såsom konst och film. Ändå upplever jag att mode ses som en kulturyttring med lägre dignitet och ofta avfärdas som fånigt och ytligt.

I denna studie utvärderades tre metoder för att utvinna DNA ur bakterier från sex personers tarmflora. Slutsatsen blev att kit extraktionen var den bästa metoden, men att personen som provet kom ifrån påverkar resultaten mer än själva metoden i sig. Celiaki är en så kallad autoimmun kronisk sjukdom vilket innebär att immunförsvaret angriper tarmens slemhinna som ett gensvar på absorberat gluten. GCeliac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease which affects about 3 % of children in Sweden where most of them have an asymptomatic form making it difficult to detect. The bacterial composition in the gastrointestinal microflora can affect the intestinal barrier properties and the immune systems response to various dietary components. An unfavourable composition of the microflora can activate par

This master thesis, completed at the company Alfa Laval studied the surface properties of grade 1 titanium from two different suppliers to examine if there were any significant differences between the two suppliers. Previously titanium from the two suppliers had performed differently at times when used in Alfa Lavals heat exchangers. The experiments performed where studies of surface energy, surfa

Föreställ dig att du blandar två fasta ämnen, t.ex. salt och socker, och att det då bildas en vätska. Det känns spontant onaturligt, men inom kemin finns många exempel på sådana, så kallade eutektiska lösningar som nu blir allt vanligare inom en rad olika forskningsområden. I detta projekt undersöktes en metod för att använda just ett eutektiskt lösningsmedel för att behandla sågspån, med det speIn this thesis project, properties and factors that are involved in the fractionation of wood when using deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been investigated. The project is based on an earlier project that was conducted at RISE Processum in Örnsköldsvik and the results from that is the foundation for trials in this project. In that first project, five different DES were used (Oxalic acid, Lactic

This thesis examines the possible transjudicial interaction that may arise between the ICC and the IACtHR with regard to the interpretation of the crime of enforced disappearance of persons. This potential scenario of jurisprudential cross-fertilisation is considered on the fact that both, the IACtHR and the ICC exercise jurisdiction ratione materiae over the crime of enforced disappearance, there

During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat

Fem Nyckelord: CSR, SME, U-formad teori, resurstillgång, hållbarhet Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera hur små och medelstora bolag definierar CSR och varför de engagerar sig. Metod: Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Ambitionen är att ha en deduktiv forskningsansats, dock med en del induktiva inslag. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studiens teoretKey words: CSR, SME, U-shaped theory, resource access, sustainability. Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to examine whether there are any differences between small and medium-sized enterprises regarding their sustainability work. Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative academic strategy with semi-structured interviews. Our ambition is to have an deductive academic approach that have i

Knowledge acquired through ecosystem service valuations can provide valuable information to stakeholders making land-use decisions. Effective use of ecosystem service valuation knowledge with a cost-benefit analysis can create resilient social-ecological systems. There is an increasing number of valuations being conducted, yet only one third of the studies are thought to be used in some form to ai

I föreliggande studie undersöks översättningen av anföringsverb, det vill säga verb som markerar yttrande, och deras förhållande till översättarens övergripande översättningsstrategi. Anföringsverben är hämtade från Nikolaj Gogols Mertvye Duši (sv. Döda själar) på ryska samt från två översättningar; Sören Rydströms neutraliserande och expliciterande text från 1948 och Staffan Skotts källtextnära f

Abstract This master thesis investigates how more value can be created by digitally visualize the saved data of GGzE (Mental Health care Eindhoven). GGzE collects a lot of data about their clients and they believe that more value can be created from it. The Dutch government, as well as the European commission, is striving for more e-health. By 2019 the Dutch government wants 80% of the ch

A disaster is not just natural but largely of social and political origin. To be effective, an early warning system must therefore be viewed as a social process with a strong focus on the people at risk. This contrasts with the conventional view on an early warning system that it is a pure engineering and technological solution, following a linear chain from observation to dissemination of warning

This essay investigates the ways of convergence of the spectacle with the surveillance, as suggested by Thomas Mitchell and Nicholas Mirzoeff. In order to ground their suggested theory in concrete visual empirical cases, I situate my analysis in the Palestinian territories. I juxtapose ostensibly disparate visual phenomena deriving from the street art and the military visualizing technologies. The
