Ecotourism is a rapidly growing niche within the global tourism industry and has deserved the attention of wide circles from academia and the tourism industry internationally. There is, however, void of information on ecotourism in Armenia from theoretical and practical points of view. In light of its ambiguous perception, use and planning for development, the aim of this thesis has been to presen
Nynas Petroleum is one of the world´s largest producers of naphthenic specialty oils. They have refineries in several parts of the world and their largest production facility is situated in Nynäshamn, Sweden. They also have oil depots in all continents and their largest depot is located in Antwerp, Belgium. In the beginning of 2007 Nynas introduced a new type of transformer oils, called Nova grade
This master thesis is a project initiated by the fourth-party logistics company UBQ. They aim to take over the management of the transportation and storage of raw material for Volvo Car Body Components, VCBC, in Olofström. VCBC wants to remove the storage of raw material in the production area. The thesis aims to link the both companies’ requests together by describing the current situation, the s
Syftet med uppsatsen var att jämföra antalet kvinnliga respektive manliga författare som elever i den senare delen av grundskolan får kännedom om. För att undersöka det använde jag mig av läroböcker i svenska riktade till årskurs 7-9. Antalet författare i alla undersökta läroböcker räknades samt viktades på olika sätt. Först efter hur många gånger de nämndes i läroböckerna och därefter efter hur m
The thesis is done for the company Gambro which manufactures dialysis products worldwide. The idea of this thesis is to investigate weaknesses of the communication protocol which is used in one of the Gambro dialysis machines, Prismaflex and thereby investigate opportunities to improve the system by using other protocols. The thesis is divided into three major parts. They are the study of Prismafl
Problem discussion: To be more competitive, Trading Area Wood is working on developing their suppliers in efficiency projects. However, they find it hard to motivate their suppliers to take part in the projects. Therefore, they need a way to show the suppliers the positive effects of participating in the efficiency projects. Moreover, Trading Area Wood has troubles to predict the economical outcom
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Examensarbetet har gått ut på att med hjälp av satellitbilder göra markanvändningsdata för att förbättra en modell som beräknar vart de luftburna föroreningarna tar vägen. Föroreningarna svavel och kväve deponeras med olika hastighet över olika marktyper, därför vill man använda sig av markanvändningsdata i modellerna. Svavelutsläppen har ökat dramatiskt under Sulphur emissions during the last century has led to major acidification of the environment. The acidity of soil and water is a threat to health and economic interests of man, e.g. the food and paper/wood production in the agricultural and silvicultural industries. The Black Triangle region suffers from severe damage caused by acidification and actions to decrease the acid rain over fields and for
The purpose of this essay was to highlight what happens in the meeting between the child care investigator and the client, from the investigators perspective. Further, the essay examines the mechanisms affecting this relation – how the child care investigator's respective roles, as controlling authority and service provider, will be visible to the investigator and what the consequences of the
Detta arbete handlar om att utveckla och förbättra en försöksuppställning som kan mäta laserinducerad fosforescens både spektralt och tidsupplöst. Ämnet som emitterar fosforescensen befinner sig i en kalibreringsugn som kan värmas till olika temperaturer vilket möjliggör studier av irreversibla åldringsprocesser i ämnet som funktion av temperatur och tid. Fosforescens är den långa efterglöd som fo
Today’s marketplace is increasingly growing more competitive as production accelerates and products multiply. Therefore, competing organizations have shifted their focus from solely developing the best product, to building value and competitiveness into the employees. As a result, the concept ‘Employee Engagement’ has received a lot of attention during the 21th century. However there still remain
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfttning: När man vill bestämma åldern på en bergart finns det flera olika metoder. En av de senaste och mest sofistikerade metoderna är den så kallade 40Ar/39Ar-metoden. En bergart är uppbyggd av flera olika mineral. Nästan alla mineral innehåller kalium (K+) i olika stora mängder. Kalium (K+) sönderfaller radioaktivt till argon (Ar) som är en ädelgas. Vid 40Ar/39Ar-daterThe traditional opinion about the Scandinavian Caledonian Mountains is that it formed in two major events; The Early Finnmarkian phase and the Later Scandian phase. However 40Ar/39Ar geochronology carried out in the Seve Nappe Complex yielded intermediate ages which rather indicates that there has been a continuous breakdown of the Baltoscandian miogeocline. As the nappes where emplaced upon the B
Seveskollkomplexet i de norra delarna av Sareks nationalpark, Kaledoniderna, kännetecknas av stora metamorfa kontraster. Sarektjåhkkåskollan, vars litologier är bäst bevarade, finns emellan två eklogitiserade skollor, Mihká- och Tsähkkokskollorna. I en nyckelposition mellan Sarektjåhkkåskollan och Tsähkkokskollan finns Sierggavággeskollan. Denna skolla har upplevt en betydligt lägre metamorfos, i The Sierggavágge Nappe (SiN) belongs to the Seve Nappe Complex (SNC), which is the tectonic unit that forms the topographic backbone of the Scandinavian Caledonides. The rocks of the SNC derive from the Vendian- Ordovician passive continental margin between cratonic Baltica and the Iapetus Ocean. This passive margin underwent stretching over at least 80 Ma and a complex orogenic evolution during t
Quantum memories are used for storing the quantum mechanical states of photons and release identical photons at a later time. This has many applications within the field of quantum computing and is also essential in order to achieve long range quantum communication and cryptography. In this thesis Atomic frequency comb (AFC) quantum memories were investigated. In particular, three-level memory sch
There is no doubt that the United States of America has used death penalty as a method of punishment in their legal system since the 17th Century. This essay is going to seek to explain why the United States of America has not yet abolished the death penalty; furthermore, it will discuss why they decided to resume the temporary suspension of the death penalty throughout the years 1966-1976. There
Sveriges och Europas befolkning blir allt äldre samtidigt som färre föds. Med andra ord ska allt färre yngre människor försörja allt fler äldre. Den 15 december 2008 infördes nya svenska regler för arbetskraftsinvandring från tredjeland. Reformen innebar att det gamla systemet där ansökningar om arbetstillstånd först prövades mot behovet på den inhemska marknaden, den så kallade arbetsmarknadsprövThe Swedish and European population is aging and fewer are born. In other words, fewer young people have to provide for an increasing number of elderly people. On December 15 2008 new Swedish rules for labour migration from third countries were introduced. The old system where an application for work permit was first assessed according to the needs of the domestic market, the so-called ”arbetsmark
A Poisson integral formula for a weighted Laplacian in the unit disc Beskrivning: In this paper a counterpart of the classical Poisson integral formula is found for a weighted Laplace differential operator in the unit disc. In the process the corresponding Dirichlet boundary value problem is solved for arbitrary continuous boundary data. The associated power series expansions are calculated and in
