The wildlife park Kolmården in Norrköping, Sweden, asked for a device that could visually feedback how dolphins use their ultrasound signals while echolocating objects. By recording the sound from the dolphin, process the sound and then create a visual feedback by having LED's flash in different frequencies, depending on the distance between dolphin and device. The purpose of the device is havVisual response to dolphin echolocation It is well known that dolphins use echolocation but how about watching what actually happens? A device that shows the audience some of the information contained within the emitted ultrasonic waves. It is a small fish look-alike device that is created to simulate how the dolphins behave while hunting. By picking up the echolocation signals sent out from the

För att en uppsägning av en arbetstagare ska vara giltig krävs enligt 7 § LAS att den är sakligt grundad. En uppsägning kan grunda sig antingen på personliga skäl eller arbetsbrist. Arbetsbrist utgör i sig självt saklig grund för uppsägning medan det vid personliga skäl krävs objektiv fakta stöd som bevisar arbetstagarens olämplighet för att uppsägningen ska anses vara sakligt grundad. Ur en arbetAccording to 7 § LAS a termination of employment need to be objectively founded to be considered to be valid. A termination of employment can either be based on the employees personal reasons or redundancy (lack of work).

Detection of Listeria monocytogenes by the microbiological standard method (ISO 11290-1) is time consuming and requires several days to get results, thus a more rapid detection method is required. The aim of this study is to continue the optimization of a rapid method that is based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to detect L. monocytogenes in food matrices. The method is based on

Som följd av klimatförändringar kommer klimatanpassningsåtgärder att bli nödvändiga för att skydda mot effekterna av det förändrade klimatet. Det förändrade klimatet kommer innebära att risken för översvämningar och erosion ökar längs med Sveriges kuster, sjöar och vattendrag. Vem det är som bär ansvaret för att se till att dessa klimatanpassningsåtgärder kommer till stånd råder det en osäkerhet kAs a result of climate change, our society will need to start to adapt to the changing conditions. With these changes the risk of floods, races, spills and erosion along the coasts, lakes and streams of Sweden will increase. The need to take action to counteract these impending risks is strong but how is going to take responsibility for these actions? The purpose of the report is to investigate th

Kartong kan framställas för att få fram olika egenskaper. En kartongförpackning har någon gång i tiden vikts fram av en bit kartong. Men hur viker man utan att få oönskade skador och veck, och hur påverkas detta av materialets egenskaper?Paperboard is frequently used as a base material in packages. There is folding involved in the conversion process, where a package is formed from a paperboard sheet. However, because direct folding causes undesirable effects such as wrinkles, it must first be creased. The creasing procedure consists of intentionally damaging the material, creating an indentation on the piece, after which the mater

Even though the first coronavirus pandemic was registered in 1965, SARS-CoV-2 was better acknowledged when it caused the worldwide pandemic in 2019 in which millions of individuals lost their lives.

DENV is a very dangerous virus due to its asymptomatic

Under 1800-talet präglades hela Kontinentaleuropa av en kodifikationsfeber. Stora delar av Kontinentaleuropa kodifierade civilrätten. Kodifikat-ionstrenden nådde även de nordiska länderna. Sverige, Norge och Danmark gjorde alla någon form av kodifikationsförsök, men inget av dem ledde till en antagen kodifikation. De nordiska länderna avvek både från resten av Kontinentaleuropa och från varandra. During the 19th century, continental Europe was engulfed by a codification fever. Most parts of continental Europe proceeded to codify their private law. The codification trend also reached the Nordic countries. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark all attempted to codify their private law at some point, but none of the attempts ever lead to them adopting a codification. The Nordic countries deviated, both
