Kärt barn har många värden, eller vad är det man brukar säga? Skogen är älskad och brukad av oss året om och i alla delar av landet. Det är förståeligt att det framkallar stora debatter och delade åsikter. Likaså gör EU om man kollar på vilken nyhetskälla som helst. Hur blir det då när EU ska komma in och bestämma över Sveriges skog. Kaos antagligen. En av EU:s förordningar är den så kallade ’LandThe forest contributes multiple services, among others renewable materials, carbon sequestration, and recreational value. This thesis studied the effects on forestry stemming from the revised Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry regulation. The question is how reduced logging, which is in line with the new regulation, affects social welfare when incorporating the benefits of ecosystem services.

Duschmunstycke som styr vatten och tvål ger en enklare dusch. Det är en jobbig sanning men faktumet är att vi alla kommer att bli äldre. Detta är inte bara på individnivå utan även samhället i stort. Med ökad ålder så kommer även fler åkommor och begränsningar. Vardagliga uppgifter blir större utmaningar och så småningom kommer kanske så vardagliga saker som att duscha bli ett problem för dig. DäEven though healthcare in Sweden is under pressure, assistant nurses are getting more tasks while still being asked to perform the current ones in a non-stressful manner. At the same time, the amount of people in need of assistance is increasing. A person asking for assistance with a basic task such as a shower is daunting. The purpose of this master thesis is to, through a design process, investi

In this master’s thesis, a novel unsupervised anomaly detection tool was developed in collaboration with Sandvik Rock Processing to assist engineers and experts in analyzing large amounts of sensor data from cone crushers used in the stone crushing industry. The tool focuses on analyzing power, pressure, and CSS sensor data. A crucial preprocessing step was implemented to algorithmically identify

Kronisk malaria i en flyttfågel: Sjuka mammor har favoritungar. Precis som människor kan djur bli sjuka. Dessa sjukdomar spelar en stor roll i ekosystem, bland annat för att de kan ge negativ påverkan på populationsstorlekar via ökad dödlighet och minskad fortplantningsframgång (fitness) bland infekterade individer. En sådan sjukdom är fågelmalaria. Trastsångaren (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) är enLife-history theory predicts that individuals carrying parasite infections should experience a trade-off between allocation of resources towards reproduction versus repression of the infection. However, in the case of chronic avian malaria infections in the great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) and other passerines, correlational studies have found little effect on annual survival and fec

Världen idag är i ett stort behov av att byta ut fossila råvaror mot mer hållbara alternativ. Nya processer behöver utvecklas för att minska våra utsläpp, bland annat tillverkning av icke fossilbaserade plaster. Plasten polyetylenfuranoat (PEF) har visat stor potential som alternativ till PET, och kan tillverkas av 5-hydroymetylfurfural (HMF). HMF kan bland annat framställas från fruktos, vilket kThe demand for plastics is growing due to global population, economic growth and insufficient recycling, where new bio-based feedstocks must be investigated to meet future emission goals. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical that can produce Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) with similar characteristics to fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The HMF can be produced

Smart komprimeringsteknik för ljudinspelningar Omfattande forskning inom videokomprimering har lett till en märklig balans där ljudspåret ibland tar större plats än videospåret i övervakningsinspelningar. För att jämna ut detta behövs smarta tekniker även för ljudkomprimering. Det här arbetet presenterar ett förslag för att minska ljuddatan med mer än 50 %. Det är vanligt att majoriteten av mateThree different classification solutions for distinguishing events from non-events in surveillance audio are described and evaluated. The three compared methods are energy functions, Gaussian mixture modelling algorithms (GMM) and existing voice activity detectors (VAD). Recorded test signals with corresponding manually labelled ground truth files are used to determine the accuracies of the method

Den här avhandlingen ger en förståelse och överblick av möjligheterna och utmaningarna för en hållbar användning av individuella polybags i detaljhandeln. Detta genomfördes genom en kvalitativ analys som inkluderade litteraturstudier, semi-strukturerade intervjuer och e-mejl korrespondens. Ett material som används vanligtvis för individuella polybags är fossil-baserad LDPE plast och denna förpacknThis thesis provides an understanding and overview of the opportunities and challenges to enable a sustainable use of individual polybags used in the retail-industry. This was done by conducting a qualitative analysis including literature reviews, semi-structured interviews and e-mail correspondence. A common material choice for individual polybags is the fossil-based LDPE plastic and this packagi

Transistors are used in all digital devices today. The demand of faster and smaller devices such as mobile telephones and computers constantly drives the develop- ment of smaller transistor technologies. Transistors can also be used in analog applications. Today there are commercial chips with both radio and digital sys- tems in the same package. Cellular Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to ma

The aim of this master thesis was to produce meatballs with different characteristics and from these, find the meatball that oxidized the most. For the production, minced meat with different concentrations of salt and fat from both beef and pork was used. Half of the meatballs were pan-fried and the other half was deep fat fried. Additionally, three different storage times were applied. The meatba

Thirteen different polymers have been investigated in the tries to find a polymeric water-based binder for the brazing alloy F300. F300 has the chemical formula Fe-24Cr-20Ni-10Cu-7P-5Mn-Si and is a gas-atomized metal powder used for high temperature brazing. Except being water-soluble the polymers used for the binder, would have to provide sufficient viscosity at a maximum 2 wt% and not gel under

Syfte. Studien syftade till att undersöka om tidigare språkförmåga och språkprestationer, mätt med tre deltest, kan predicera inlärning av ett nytt språk. Vidare undersöktes relationen mellan vardera deltest samt deltagarnas utbildningsnivå i relation till resultatet. Metod. 45 vuxna deltagare rekryterades till studien. Llama B och Llama D användes som mått på språkprestation och LexTALE som mått Purpose. This study aimed to investigate whether general language abilities and previous language experience, measured by three tests, can predict the learning of a new language. Furthermore, the relationship between each test was investigated and the participants’ level of education was examined in relation to learning performance. Method. 45 adult participants were recruited for this study. Llam

Architecture is always intrinsically tied to place. Regardless of how architects choose to interact with and study it, the context our buildings are meant to inhabit is an important piece of the puzzle. As the world is getting more interconnected and geographical constraints are getting less important to the architectural profession, I am interested in how the creative process changes when assumpt

Many songbird species that breed at northern latitudes migrate long distances each autumn, while others brave the cold winter. Long-distance migrants have physiological adaptations that allow them to rapidly gain weight at stopover sites during migration for optimal speed. There is some evidence from closely related species that birds with a longer migration distance deposit fuel faster. However,

Att påverkas av andra är något för oss så naturligt att vi sällan tänker på hur ofta det händer. En annan kropps närvaro kan ge oss energi lika väl som ta den ifrån oss. Den kan få oss att vilja komma närmare eller längre ifrån. Detta samspel är inte unikt för oss människor, utan kan även ses på himlavalvet. På universums dansgolv finner vi par av alla dess slag. Särskilt mystiska är kanske de svaGalactic nuclei contain super-massive black holes (SMBHs), nuclear stellar clusters (NSCs), or both. In the NSC, intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are likely to reside and form highly eccentric binaries. Over time, the orbit of a binary could harden via interaction with surrounding low-mass stars. Eventually, it would be possible for the IMBHs to, via the emission of gravitational waves (GWs),

Children are not only negatively affected by being exposed to violence themselves, but they are also affected by witnessing violence. For example, mental health issues and not getting the support that they need. In 2021, the law “barnfridsbrott” came into effect, making it illegal to allow a child to witness violence between people they have a close relationship with. This study is about the conce

Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. Differential extraction is a lengthy method that includes multiple tube transfers and requires a purification step. Amicon Ultra
