Molecular data have offered new opportunities to resolve phylogenies especially in highly diverse and species-rich groups. The resolution of evolutionary relationships within Lepidoptera have progressed with the development of molecular methods. New species and genera are regularly described for the recently studied noctuoid moth subfamily Nolinae. Because of the limits of morphological characters
A responsible and sustainable water resources management is important. It is also crucial to take the presence of watercourses into account during design of hydraulic structures such as small dams and bridges. Doing this requires knowledge of estimates of annual streamflow and extreme flows to be used for design purposes. This study is divided into two parts, both focusing on the departments of Sa
Aktivitetsbaserade kontor blir ett allt vanligare val av kontorsutformning bland dagens företag, är det av intresse att utreda vilken påverkan det har på utrymning. Det aktivitetsbaserade kontorskonceptet innebär att de traditionella fasta skrivbordsplatserna försvinner från kontoren. De traditionella öppna kontorsytorna ersätts istället med en diversifierad arbetsmiljö, där de anställda kan välja
As one of the world leaders in food packaging, it is in the interest of Tetra Pak⃝R to increase the understanding of packaging material and how it can better be virtually modeled, using finite element (FE) simulations. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate whether a stochastic approach can be taken to generate a more realistic response than a purely deterministic one, in the aforementioned models.
Titel: Vem bör man ta rygg på? – En studie om insynspersoners möjlighet till abnormal avkastning på Large Cap Slutseminarium: 2018-01-11 Kurs: FEKH89, Examensarbete i finansiering på kandidatnivå, 15 HP Författare: Filip Bauer Barsby, John Fellenius, Jesper Qvenild Handledare: Anamaria Cociorva Nyckelord: Abnormal avkastning, insynsperson, insynsinformation, informationsasymmetri, Stockholmsb
The Crevice - A theater in the open air on the coast of Portugal strives to prove a link between man made and natural formations. I marvel why the development of our human civilization keeps being branded as artificial with a negative connotation. I believe our built habitat is commonly considered somewhat less natural than bird’s neatly constructed nests or polar bears burrowing into snow and r
Insects can be mapped using a method called Scheimpflug Lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging). Sending out light in the near infrared range and detecting the backscattered echo, it is possible to resolve flying organisms in range and time. Insect observations can be distinguished from the background signal through adaptive thresholding. The detected signal will contain two components; one from lig
The main purpose of this thesis is to present and analyse the Swedish sixteenth-century Catholic priest Andreas Servius’ prayer book Någre Christilige och Catholische böner printed in the Silesian city of Neisse year 1593. The general questions of the study are: which where the main sources of the prayers found in this prayer book? What characteristics typical for the period’s piety can be found i
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (2016) food production has a big impact on the climate, and a big part of the food gets wasted as garbage. About 91% of the food that the stores waste is still eatable (Naturvårdsverket, 2014). The government has set a goal to reduce the food waste with 20% until 2020 in comparison to 2010. In present days there’s a lot of research on how to maintai
With the increase in computational power, deep learning algorithms have become an active field of research over the last 7 years. These data-driven machine learning algorithms have produced good results in many applications, image analysis being one of them. Today, many image analysis tasks in the medical field are done manually, taking valuable time and effort from professionals. Automating some
In an uncertain future, flexibility and ability to adapt are recognized as important factors in avoiding errors, but also discover new ways of handling urban problems. This thesis examines how standardized wooden modules can be used to modify, manipulate and reinvent public space. It also investigates how flexibility in design could help to involve communities and individuals in reshaping and recy
The objective of this report was to investigate different types of glass when exposed to heat radiation from a typical fire in a dangerous goods carrier. The purpose was to evaluate if tempered glass could be used in facades instead of the more expensive fire resistant glass. Experiments were made in a cone calorimeter where different thicknesses of laminated, tempered and fire resistant glass wer
Huge amounts of greenhouse gases continuously released into the atmosphere is of large global concern. Carbon dioxide makes up a large part of released greenhouse gases. Especially the aircraft industry, which is experiencing a steady annual increase as air travel grows in popularity. This business sees 72% of all its combustion products in aircraft exhausts to be carbon dioxide. Swedavia, a compa
One of most ancient food preservation methods is freezing because there are not caused significant changes the sensory characteristics and nutritional value of foods. Last decade, have been made great steps for the optimization of freezing tolerance of fresh vegetables, fruits and species. Cold injury occurs when the cells are exposed to temperatures lower than 0oC. Cold injury is a consequence of
Inom socialtjänsten råder idag en hög personalomsättning bland socialarbetare, mer specifikt bland socialsekreterare. Tidigare forskning gjord bland socialsekreterare syftar främst till att undersöka orsaken till detta genom att hitta en förklaring till varför de väljer att lämna sin arbetsplats. Syftet med denna studie däremot var att undersöka vad som gör att socialsekreterarna, mer specifikt er
Interactive web-GIS tools play an important role in determining disaster risk assessment which ultimately result in reduction of unexpected damages, cost and saves millions of lives. Disaster management practitioners largely benefited information at their disposal about location where possible incidents are eminent, anticipate the impact and project possible outcomes to help mitigate and organize
The study circle is a cultural and educational phenomenon that has fundamentally affected Sweden and continues to do so even today. The present study investigates the Swedish study circle as a medium. This is done by looking at the notions about what the study circle would be during its early years (1902-1922), through the Swedish Good Templars and Oscar Olsson, also known as “the father of the st
Hafnium dioxide (HfO_2) based thin films doped with various dopants (Si, Ge, Al, Gd, Sr, Zr) have been found to exhibit ferroelectricity. These dopants were found to stabilize the III orthorhombic phase in the hafnium oxide based thin films. This characteristic enables and allows various applications ranging from Non-volatile memory, Ferroelectric Field-Effect-Transistors, to Negative Capacitance
