“Livet på en pinne” is a Swedish expression for having a carefree life, just like a bird. Unfortunately this is not the case in Sweden anymore. Birds aredecreasing in numbers day by day as a result of our actions and most severe is the situation within the intensified agricultural landscape. The goal with this project is therefor to increase the birds chance of survival by increasing the biodiver

In a world where globalisation generates monotony, industry has looked at the rich cultural past of traditional cultures for inspiration to distinguish its products and services. The growing demand for access to Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs) by industry has led to the exploitation and misappropriation of TCEs. Despite huge profits derived from TCEs, indigenous and traditional communities

This thesis was performed and supervised as a collaboration between the Department of Automatic Control and the Department of Electrical and Information Technology at Lund University. The thesis investigates the possibility of utilizing event-based control on a server system, modelling a cloud computing system. The model consists of an extended M/M/1 system with time-varying arrival and processing

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Geoelektriska mätningar med resistivitet och inducerad polarisation (IP) har traditionellt använts för att bland annat hitta berggrundsytor, kartera sprickighet och bedöma deponiers utbredning. Metoden utgår från olika materials olika elektriska egenskaper. I denna studie undersöktes möjligheten att hitta grundvattennivåerna i deponier med denna metod. Vattnet i There is a problem with leachate leakagein the Flishult landfill outside the town of Vetlanda . This means that water that has been in contact with the deposited material is likely to lead contaminants into the surrounding groundwater, causing an environmental impact on the surroundings. This problem is not unique to the Flishult landfill but can be found in many places where there are, e.g., wast

This dissertation is a combination of a quantitative and a qualitative content analysis around the discourse constructed on the website of the European Parliament, specifically concerning the recent economic crisis. I analyzed thirty articles published on the site by the Web Communications Unit in the Directorate General of the Communication of the European Parliament in Brussels. Based on a theor

The aim of this master thesis is to compare two different control algorithms with respect to reference tracking and simulation time for a superconductive cavity in ESS. The two control algorithms are PID and MPC. The most common type of controller is the PID due to its simplicity. However, an increased interest in finding a control algorithm which can handle the reference tracking better than the

Denna uppsats har som syfte att med grund i omfattande kvantitativa data rörande bostadsrättsförsäljningar i Sverige, undersöka hur olika prisbestämmandefaktorer påverkar en bostadsrätts slutpris. Samtliga variabler som kunnat tänkas inverka på en lägenhets slutpris har givits teoretisk anknytning och de hypoteser som ställts upp rörande dessa variabler har även de presenterats med stöd i teorier.

Upprinnelsen till detta examensarbete var att Otis Stockholm, som också leder den svenska verksamheten, saknade en processkarta för nymontageavdelning. Försök hade gjorts tidigare med att göra en processkartläggning, men man hade då inte kommit hela vägen. Man ville nu från ledningens håll ha en karta på processen så att alla gjorde på samma sätt från projekt till projekt. Processen var uppdelad iThe impetus for this thesis was the identification of the need for a process map for processing new equipment within Otis Sweden. The company had tried before to map their process but had not fully developed the model. This time managers wanted a process map to stabilize the process of managing employees to ensure consistency across projects. The process has been spit in two functions, the sales a

Divorced parents with joint custody are expected to collaborate about their children. However, negative emotions are often intense and painful following divorce. This may lead to blocked negotiations about important issues such as children’s living arrangements. The present study focused on the intra-psychic processes of general cognitive-emotional tendencies as they appear over time among low and

Problem description: An optimal layout shall be developed for the plant with respect to the flows of materials, products and staff with consideration to the business, shipping and future expandability. The layout proposal falls into two groups that will interact: proposals for the design of the building and proposals for the layout inside the building. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to de

The size and power of tests for smooth structural change are evaluated in the presence of random measurement error in the explanatory variable or outliers in the dependent variable of a univariate regression model. It is shown that the considered tests are robust to measurement error of a magnitude that can be found in real economic data. By contrast,outliers are found to distort both the size and

Den sociala entreprenören, en modern filantropisk version av den klassiska entreprenören är ett växande fenomen. Den Sociala entreprenören siktar på att lösa sociala problem med sin verksamhet. Den här uppsatsen utreder möjligheterna för den Sociala entreprenören att reglera sociala frågor i bolagsordningen för aktiebolag. Den visar att det i bolagsordningen till svenska aktiebolag är lättare at

FR96001M, (4R,5R)-4,5-Dihydroxy-5-((S)-1-hydroxy-heptyl)-cyclopent-2-enone, is a new antibacterial compound isolated from Cyphellopsis anomalia TA96001. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic methods. The absolute structure was determined with a FT-NMR version of Mosher´s method. FR96001 is very similar to the previously known antibacterial pentenomycins, wich is produced by Streptomyces eu

Backgrund: Nederman har ett långsiktigt mål att förbättra enheten i Helsingborg. Ett steg i detta är att se om det finns några förbättringar att genomföra i lagerstyrningen i form av lager- och servicenivåer. Detta då de anställda upplever dagens verktyg som ganska trubbiga för det nuvarande produktsortimenetet och att detta kanske kan förbättras genom ytterliggare en dimension på det befintliga sBackground: Nederman has a long term goal of improving their supply unit in Helsingborg. One step of this is to investigate if there are any improvements to be made in the inventory control in terms of stock levels and service level. This since the employees at Nederman believes that the existing methods are too blunt as a tool for the product range and that their methods can be improved by adding

The main purposes in this master´s thesis are to examine the effect of liquidity on stock returns but also measuring the return premium in relation to liquidity towards the Swedish stock exchange market. In order to test these relationships the Fama and MacBeth (1997) Cross-sectional methodology have been applied. The relationships are tested for two different types of liquidity, the turnover rate

Ett av de uttalande målen för det gemensamma systemet för mervärdesskatt är att förhindra skatteflykt, skatteundandragande och missbruk. Dessa koncept besläktade i den bemärkelse att de alla hindrar att skattesystemet tillämpas på det sätt som det avsetts att göra. Dock finns det betydande, inneboende skillnader i koncepten och hur de tillämpas. Genom avgörandet i Halifax-domen slog Domstolen en gOne of the explicit objectives for the common VAT-system is to prevent tax evasion, -avoidance and -abuse. These concepts are related in the sense that all three concepts aim to prevent that the provisions of the system are applied in a manner that conflicts with the purpose of the system and the provisions. There are however substantial, inherent differences between the concepts and the way that

Bakgrund. Varje år drabbas omkring 25 000 personer i Sverige av stroke. Individer som drabbats av stroke får oftast funktionsnedsättningar som orsakar aktivitetsbegränsning i vardagslivet. Syfte. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka erfarenheter och upplevelser strokedrabbade personer har av förändringar i vardagliga aktiviteter.Metod. Studien genomfördes som en kvantitativ metod där instrum

Varje år drabbas ett stort antal människor av olika typer av hjärnskador orsakade av stroke, olycka/sjukdom eller trauma. En vanlig konsekvens av förvärvad hjärnskada är kognitiv nedsättning. Förändringar i förmåga att utföra aktivitet kan leda till otillfredsställelse och aktivitetsobalans hos den drabbade. Syftet med studien var att undersöka upplevelser kring aktivitetsbalans i vardagen hos per
