Despite being precautionary, people visiting nature reserves leave marks. Wear of the vegetation is perhaps the most noticeable effect that can be seen on an area that's being used for recreation, and trampling is usually the primary reason causing the wear of the vegetation. Paths are often being constructed in nature reserves to avoid uncontrolled trampling and wear of natural values. Howeve
This master thesis is part of the development of a new industrial machine. The machine is a fully automated transplanting machine for the forest industry and will be used by nurseries around the world. Nurseries grow seedlings and sell them when they have grown enough to be planted in the ground. The machine being developed moves plants from a tray with small cells to a tray with bigger cells. Thi
Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att undersöka anknytning hos en grupp barn i mellanbarndo- men som lever växelvis, och vad de berättar om sina relationer till viktiga andra. Studien base- rades på transkriberade intervjuer (Friends and Family Interview, FFI) och berättelser (Secure Base Script Test, SBST) från två tidigare studier, där barn som levde växelvis (n = 20) valdes ut.

Ofrivillig barnlöshet är ett problem som kan bero på många olika faktorer. Ett sätt för att avhjälpa den är att genomgå assisterad befruktning. Assisterad befruktning inom svensk hälso- och sjukvård är däremot inte tillgängligt för alla. För att få genomgå en behandling krävs det att vissa villkor är uppfyllda. En av dessa förutsättningar är att den assisterade befruktningen utförs på en kvinna soInvoluntary childlessness can be a problem caused by many different factors. One way to remedy is to undergo assisted reproduction. However, assisted reproduction within the Swedish healthcare is not available for everybody. Certain conditions need to be met for a person to be eligible for treatment. One of these conditions is that the woman who is going to undergo the assisted reproduction is tog
Abstract The internationalisation of a company is enabled by integration of markets. New markets mean new revenues, but also demand capital to finance the expansion. To bring in new capital may offer new possibilities but also higher debt-equity ratios, which affect how external interested parties value the company. This thesis, inspired by previous and mainly US based research, researches the deb
Termen ”ekonomiskt våld” är för många ett relativt okänt begrepp, vilket bara under de senaste åren har börjat leta sig in i media och den allmänna samhällsdebatten. Bland forskare betraktas det ekonomiska våldet som mycket allvarligt och framför allt som en stor riskfaktor för att våldsutsatta kvinnor ska stanna i en våldsam relation. I svensk rätt finns inget straffbud som uttryckligen tar siktThe term “economic violence” is a concept that is relatively unfamiliar to many, which only in recent years has begun to find its way into the media and the general social debate. Many researchers regard economic violence as a very serious issue and, above all, as a major risk that may cause women that are victims of domestic violence to stay in a violent relationship. In Swedish law, there are n
Den 1 juli 2018 ändrades Sveriges sexualbrottslagstiftning i syfte att stärka skyddet av individers sexuella integritet och självbestämmanderätt. Lagändringen innebär att straffbarhet numera avgörs utifrån om deltagandet i en sexuell handling är frivilligt eller inte, oavsett våld, hot eller särskilt utsatt situation. Dessutom infördes ett oaktsamhetsansvar för våldtäkt (6 kap. 1 a § brottsbalken)On 1 July 2018, Sweden amended its sexual offence legislation to strengthen the protection of individuals' sexual integrity and self-determination. The reform criminalized the performance of sexual acts with someone who does not participate voluntarily, regardless of violence, threats or exploitation of a particularly vulnerable situation. In addition, negligent rape was introduced as a new cr
Palm recognition is a biometric authentication method that uses the unique patterns of the palm for identification. The system requires users to position their hands accurately for biometric data to be captured. This thesis aimed to design an interface that supports accurate hand placement. The design process was conducted in three iterations, each including needs assessment, idea generation, prot
This thesis investigates particulate matter emissions from a turbofan jet engine operated with fossil Jet A fuel and mixtures of Jet A and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), focusing on particle size distributions and total emission concentrations. The aim was to evaluate emissions from different fuel blends and sampling points, assess the performance of the designed sampling and dilution system, an
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) plays a significant role in climate change by altering the global atmospheric radiation budget. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are major sources for the formation of SOA. Their relationship is critical to understand the continental biosphere-aerosol-cloud-climate (COBACC) feedback mechanism but receives less attention in previous studies. In this study,
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of non-conventional violence on the implementation of disaster risk reduction projects in the Northern Triangle of Central America. The Northern Triangle is facing substantial disaster risk from various hazards. Hence, there is a need for disaster risk reduction in the region. However, besides the challenges in terms of disasters, this regi
I Sverige har ungefär vart tionde barn någon gång blivit utsatt för att bevittna våld mellan sina föräldrar. Våld i nära relationer och barns bevittnande av familjevåld utgör således ett samhällsproblem. Den 1 juli 2021 infördes en ny straffbestämmelse om barnfridsbrott i 4 kap. 3 § BrB. Barnfridsbrottet innebär att det numera är straffbart att utsätta ett barn för att bevittna våld eller andra övIn Sweden, approximately one in ten children has at some point been exposed to witnessing violence between their parents. Domestic violence and children´s witnessing of such can thus be said to constitute a social problem. On July 1, 2021, a new penalty provision of violation of a child´s integrity was introduced into Chapter 4. Section 3. Of the Swedish Criminal Code. The crime means that it is n
En psykiskt störd lagöverträdare behöver i majoriteten av världens länder be-dömas vara tillräknelig för att kunna hållas straffrättsligt ansvarig för en brottslig gärning, det vill säga ha insikt och kontroll över sitt handlande vid gärningstillfället. I Sverige avskaffades detta så kallade tillräknelighetskrav i samband med införandet av brottsbalken 1965. Idén bakom lagändringen byggde på föreMost legal orders contain a requirement that a mentally disturbed offender must be considered sane in order to be held criminally responsible, in other words these offenders will only be imposed liability if they have had insight and control over their actions during the criminal act. However, in Sweden, this exemption from criminal responsibility was abolished in conjunction with the passing of
Paediatric tumour in brain and spinal cord is the second most common form of cancer in childhood. Previous research has shown inconclusive results regarding the neurocognitive outcomes of patients treated with surgery alone. The purpose of this retrospective, longitudinal study, was to explore the trajectories of neurocognitive functioning for these patients. Participants (N=107) with a paediatric
Denna uppsats behandlar upphovsrättsliga intrång vid myntandet av Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Samtidigt som en ny värld av möjligheter har öppnat upp sig för rättighetsinnehavare och kreatörer i samband med NFTs framväxt har också en rad juridiska problem och otydligheter uppkommit. Teknikens utveckling sker i en hastighet som juridiken sällan kan upprätthålla. Tillämpligheten och kompatibilitetenThe introduction of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on the digital crypto market provides copyright holders new opportunities to exhibit, distribute and capitalize on their works. NFTs are cryptographic tokens connected to specified assets. The assets are usually digital files, but NFTs can be connected to tangible assets as well. The connection between a NFT and an asset is made in the creation proces
Following recent developments in multilateral cooperation, literature on global climate governance has paid increasing attention to non-state actors. Contributing to this debate, this study focuses on a new group of businesses that aim to combat climate change, the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI). Within the context of sustainable development, the OGCI must balance profit-making with protect
