This study analyses aspects of instructor behaviour and their possible effects on the ability of the participating crew to analyse their own performance following simulator training events for Flight Crews. Eight briefings and debriefings related to one airline’s training sessions were observed. The debriefings were recorded and transcribed. The analysis was performed using the “Debriefing Assessm

The aim of this project is to develop a method to detect metal objects with measurements from a magnetic sensor that is attached to a drone. This is challenging due to disturbances from currents and metal parts in the drone and the measuring equipment as well as the influence of the Earth's magnetic field. The measurements are also negatively affected by instability in the drone due to, for ex

Natural resources hold a great potential for both economic and social development in developing countries. Many countries in Africa today are rich in natural resources but remain poor and underdeveloped. Policies and legislation within this sector need to provide a good framework in order for the natural resources to be properly managed. This report aims at discussing the difficulties in managing

The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of development policies towards ethnic minorities in urban Xinjiang. Try to find out how ethnic minorities define themselves and be defined by others along with the changing circumstances and interests which caused by the implementation of development policies. Semi-structured interview was the main method to collect first-hand data. Observati

Dark matter is abundant in the universe, yet its composition and nature are unknown. If dark matter consists of new particles with nonzero interactions with Standard Model particles, it could be produced and detected or inferred by collider experiments. This thesis describes searches for dark matter models with new spin-1 force mediators coupling dark matter to quarks, using the ATLAS detector at

The strength of Sen’s concept of poverty lies in the fact that it goes beyond the traditional concepts of poverty and is able to grasp the complexity of poverty. At the same time, the strength of Sen’s concept of poverty is also its weakness. It is very abstract indeed. Income does not tell us much about poverty according to the capability deprivation approach since poverty is more than being shor

Despite poor treatment results, a family-oriented approach and the securing of residency have been deemed essential to recovery from resignation syndrome (RS). In a retrospective cohort study, we evaluated an alternative method involving environmental therapy, with patients separated from their parents, while actively abstaining from involving the asylum process in treatment. We examined medical r

This article responds to the general neglect of legal culture in the study of climate mobilities. It presents a case study of climate mobilities in an unplanned settlement in Maputo, Mozambique, exploring how legal culture influenced residents’ decision-making processes as they navigated climate-related risks in their daily lives. We demonstrate that legal culture can facilitate climate mobilities

The spatial organisation of shopping and retail has been transformed significantly since the 1980s, commonly being conceptualised as ‘retail decentralisation.’ This shift involves the displacement of retail from town centres to out-of-town establishments and, more recently, to digital platforms, creating a noticeable vacuum. Consequently, the topic of the ‘death of town centres’ has become a signi

Qualitative and quantitative visualizations of transonic turbomachinery flows provide essential information on compressibility and Mach number effects on boundary layer development, shock-boundary layer interactions, and trailing edge flows. Background oriented Schlieren (BOS) is a relatively new optical technique that allows capturing unsteady density gradient fields through turbomachinery cascad

Chromosomal translocations are key events in cancer, driving oncogenesis by disrupting and deregulating critical genes. While specific tumor-associated translocations are well studied, the frequencies and distributions of most remain unknown. Additionally, the role of chromosomal reshuffling in translocations has received little attention. This study presents data on the chromosomal involvement in

Självtorkande betong behöver en hög halt cement för att fungera väl, vilket direkt leder till begränsande möjligheter till reduktion av koldioxidutsläpp. Intresset för att finna alternativ till en hög cementhalt är därför stort. Exempelvis är det känt att en lägre härdningstemperatur kan förbättra självuttorkningen och det finns även alternativa bindemedel med en potential till självuttorkning. DTo achieve an increased self-desiccation in concrete, a high cement content is needed, which leads to limited opportunities in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. There is therefore an interest in finding alternatives to a high cement content for self-desiccating concrete. For example, it is known that a lower curing temperature can improve self-desiccation. Furthermore, there are also altern

Theory on competition within free markets is well developed and creates a fundament on which operational and strategic decisions rest upon. Regulations, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, create a dimension which strongly affects the operations of all organisations within the industry - and thus also the competition. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the business environment and c

In the context of the Swedish Nato entrance process this study aims to research how the reporting about Nato has changed over time. The Swedish Nato application can be seen in the light of an increased Russian threat since the invasion of Ukraine. There has been previous research on how Nato has been portrayed during earlier international conflicts and security threats, mainly in the combined fiel

The ideal of impartiality shapes not only the practices negotiated by reporters in the editorial processes in the newsrooms, but also how they are able to act in private situations. Drawing on theoretical concepts such as role performance and role conception, strategic rituals and front and backstage, this paper examines how political reporters practice particular strategies and performances to up

Air pollution is a problem that has been linked to health risks and disease and contains aerosols with very small particles (PM2.5) which reach deep down in the lung tissues and cause problems leading to both cancer and other health issues. Different authorities and fire and rescue service departments in Sweden create large emissions when training their personnel in facilities for smoke producing

Miljöföroreningar grundar sig från industriutsläpp till luft, mark och vatten. Detta har lett till att många områden idag är förorenade av bland annat tungmetaller, petroleumkolväten och PAH. Cirka 86.000 förorenade områden har identifierats runt om i Sverige. Identifiering av förorenade områden möjliggör inventering och riskklassning. För inventering och riskklassning togs därför metodiken om invEnvironmental pollution stems from industrial emissions to the air, soil and water. This has resulted in many areas being contaminated today by, among other things, heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs. Approximately 86.000 contaminated sites have been identified across Sweden. Identifying contaminated sites enables inventory and risk classification. Therefore, the method for the inventor

Soccer is witnessing technological advancements in a variety of areas, of which many are dependent on camera calibration. This thesis addresses the challenge of calibrating the extrinsic parameters of cameras used in soccer broadcasts using a monocular view of the field. Accurate camera calibration is essential for various applications such as player positioning, field modelling, and improving the

Deforestation has wide implications for the environment and especially for those who rely on it for survival. Rural women in many parts of the world often carry a lot of responsibility in gathering resources and maintaining the livelihoods of their families yet face disproportionate impacts due to limited control and access to these vital resources. This qualitative case study aims to give the rur
