Ekosystemtjänster är ekosystemens direkta och indirekta bidrag till människors välbefinnande. Ekosystemtjänster är ett forskningsområde som får en allt större uppmärksamhet internationellt, men också i Sverige. År 2006 gav regeringen Naturvårdsverket i uppdrag att ta fram en vägledning för tillämpningen av ekosystemansatsen i Sverige och regeringen fastslog 2012 att betydelsen av biologisk mångfal
Popular science summary Is the European hake “shrinking” under the current fishing practices? Did you know that the current fishing practices have caused significant declines in body size of many exploited fishing stocks? This effect of fishing management has become one of the major threats for commercially exploited fish species and it can have severe negative consequences for the offspring of
Popular science summary Are aerial drones the future for wild boar crop damage surveys? The wild boars are back, and they have returned in force. This is a rather recent trend since wild boars were extinct in Sweden until the 1970s and since then they have multiplied explosively, spreading all over central and southern Sweden. Their re-appearance has led to conflicts with human interests, namel
I denna kandidatuppsats behandlas David Foster Wallaces författarskap och hur han reflekterade kring skrivandet. Syftet att undersöka en författares synpunkt på relationen mellan litteraturen och filosofin, samt det privata och det offentliga. Detta görs genom att utforska Wallaces uttalanden kring ämnet i olika skeden utav hans författarskap. Då vissa filosofiska teorier framträder i detta samman
This study is an evaluation of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program Universal Allocation per Child (AUH) in Argentina as a policy to reduce inequality of opportunity among children. Creating a Human Development Index (HOI), as developed by Paes de Barros et al. in 2009, I measure the changes in level of opportunity before and after the implementation of the AUH program, and I complement the
The MAX IV facility is a 3rd generation state-of-the-art synchrotron light source currently under construction in Lund, Sweden. The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring has a large negative natural chromaticity, which has to be corrected to positive values to prevent head-tail instabilities. On the other hand, high linear chromaticity can lead to a large tune footprint limiting Touschek lifetime. Therefore,
This study concerns the prospects of the Victims and Land Restitution Law in Colombia, of successfully contribution in increasing agricultural productivity, through a restitution of land to the victims of the country’s armed conflict. According to the theory of Giovanni Andrea Cornia very small-sized farms and large-sized farms have a lower relative productivity than middle-sized farms, due to th
Background The trend of postponed reproduction to late in life has increased demand for fertility treatment. The current program of subsidized ART-treatment in Sweden is thoroughly debated and critiqued. The Swedish National Council on Medical Ethics has highlighted the ethical shortcomings of the current system and called for a program change. This thesis expands on the proposal and introduces a
Uppsatsen utgår ifrån Camilla Läckbergs författarskap och syftet är att undersöka hur hennes strategier ser ut för att marknadsföra sig och stärka sitt varumärke idag. För att undersöka detta har jag först och främst valt att studera hennes två kokböcker och två barnböcker. Jag studerar också hennes närvaro i sociala medier för att undersöka vad hon delar med sig av i realtid. Detta kompletteras m
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been found in waste water treatment plant effluents and surface water at detectable concentrations. Although the medical effects and side effects of pharmaceuticals and personal care products are investigated through safety and toxicology studies the potential environmental impacts are less studied, and information concerning ecotoxicological ri
Situation Awareness is defined as: “The perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and projection of their status in the future”. For a power system operator, sufficient Situation Awareness is achieved, when they know the current state of the system, why the system is in that particular state, and know if the power system wi
Illegal fildelning är en utav de mest genomgripande formerna av brott som sker över internet idag. Under det senaste decenniet har den enorma tillgången till internet och användande av datorer lett till stor ökning av fildelning och undersökningar tyder på att många människor fildelar i Sverige. I detta arbete är syftet att få djupare förståelse för fenomenet illegal fildelning, med fokus på att u
Denna rapport beskriver förfarandet vid utvecklingen av ett hydrauliskt manöversystem för manövrering av lamellkopplingar i en dieseldriven utombordsmotor. Arbetet omfattar konkurrentstudier, konceptframtagning, beräkning, simulering samt detaljkonstruktion. Arbetet har gjorts i samarbete med MarineDiesel Sweden AB i Ängelholm.
III-V nanowire transistors might provide a mean for extending Moore’s law, by overcoming the scaling limitations ultimately facing planar silicon CMOS. These high frequency capable transistors with cut-off frequencies in the terahertz regime are suitable for radio communication. In this project an active double-balanced gilbert cell mixer consisting of nanowire field-effect transistors (NWFETs) wa
The main aim of this thesis is to investigate how human errors become normalized so that a distorted perception of reality comes to represent the truth for a given group, field or other combination of people. With that, it also investigates whether it is possible for us to develop laws and implement regulations that aim to defend and secure human rights while, on a seemingly unconscious level, act
EUs anslutning till Europakonventionen har varit föremål för diskussion ända sedan slutet av 1970-talet. På grund av bristande rättslig grund i fördragen, har anslutning dock inte varit möjligt förrän ikraftträdandet av Lissabonfördraget år 2009. Artikel 6(2) FEU föreskriver nu en skyldighet för EU att ansluta sig till konventionen under förutsättning att avtalet om Unionens anslutning avspeglar nAccession of the EU to the ECHR has been subject to discussion since the late 1970s. Due to a lack of legal basis in the treaties, accession has not been possible until the entering into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009. Article 6(2) TEU now stipulates an obligation for the Union to accede to the Convention under the condition that the agreement relating to the accession makes provisions for
Bangladesh became an independent country in 1971 and enforced a democratic governance system in 1991. The country has been witnessing a fairly steady economic and social growth processes during the past two decades. However, the political system in the country has not been seeing the same type of development. During four out of eight years in the time period 2001-08 Bangladesh was considered to be
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images are used to investigate the heart for medical and research purposes. By injecting a contrast substance into the patient, myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) can be visualized in CMR image sets consisting of a number of image slices at different levels of the heart. Analysis of these images can detect an infarction, delineate it and estimate its size. This
