The aim with this Master thesis work is to design, build and test a small size, light weight and low power consumption harmonic radar system that will be installed in a flying drone for the purpose of tracking and localizing tagged Bogong moths near their aestivation caves and crevices in Australia during summer. A FMCW harmonic radar is proposed, it comprises a radar transmitter, receiver and a s
The increasing focus on the environmental classifications and energy certification systems as well as LCA in the building industry nowadays has raised the interest in the life cycle perspective of buildings among countries, municipalities, builders and researchers. This thesis shows how Sweden is dealing with this topic comparing to the Netherlands and Turkey. By presenting a detailed literature
Human hand gestures present a novel way of interacting with electronic devices. A millimeter-wave radar setup utilizing a pulsed Resonant-Tunneling Diode signal generator in the 60 GHz ISM band is used to measure 12 different hand gestures. The data is used to train and validate Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The measurement setup utilizes a real time sampling oscilloscope and down-mixing o
Denna uppsats behandlar polisers anställningsskydd och de avvägningar som gjorts i fall då poliser gjort sig skyldiga till brott, i förhållande till allmänhetens förtroende. Vid bedömningen har särskild vikt lagts vid att undersöka de aspekter som föranlett avsked och hur bedömningen gjorts för att fastslå avskedet. I uppsatsen har den rättsdogmatiska metoden använts för att utreda rättsläget. SoThis essay aims to discuss the Swedish legislation regarding dismissal of policemen on the grounds of a criminal offence. Furthermore, the considerations made by the Labour Court and personalansvarsnämnden vid polismyndigheten (PAN) in relation to public confidence will be discussed. In the assessment, particular emphasis has been placed on examining the aspects that prompted the dismissal. The tr
Vulkanisk aktivitet har sedan längre observerats ha en stor påverkan på klimatet. Svavelaerosoler från utbrott bildar molntäcken som kan sprida sig runt globen och hindrar en del solstrålar från att nå markytan. Till följd av detta sker en temperaturminskning av marknära luft under det område som molnet täcker. Den här kandidatuppsatsen reder ut skillnaden mellan inverkan på klimatet samt atmosfärVolcanic activity has long been observed to have a great impact on climate. Sulfate aerosols from an eruption form aerosol clouds that can spread around the globe and prevent some solar radiation from reaching the surface of the Earth. As a result, there will be a reduction of the surface air temperature below the aerosol cloud. This bachelor thesis discusses the difference between the impact on t
Under en längre tid har svenska kommuner präglats av en målstyrd verksamhetsstyrning där kontroll, mätning och uppföljningar funnits vid varje målsättning. Samtidigt satsar den offentliga sektorn på innovationsarbetet för att kunna utvecklas i takt med omvärlden. Trots detta finns det en problematik med innovationsutvecklingen då den ofta förknippas med andra branscher och tekniska uppfinningar. D
Korslimmat trä, KL-trä, är ett förhållandevis nytt byggnadsmaterial i byggbranschen. Det består av ett udda antal skikt av lameller av konstruktionsvirke, där varje skikt av lameller ligger roterade 90 grader i förhållande till intilliggande skikt. Materialet används både i den bärande stommen och som stomkomplettering i form av exempelvis trappor. Idag finns endast en etablerad tillverkare på dCross-laminated timber, CLT, is a rather new building material. It consists of an odd number of layers consisting of lumber boards stacked together, where each layer is rotated 90 degrees in comparison to the adjacent layers. The material is used both as a load-carrying element as well as a non-load-carrying element, such as stairs. Today there is only one established producer of CLT in Sweden. D
The purpose of our study is to research the sequence of strategy and structure. Due to a theoretical gap between the propositions; strategy follows structure and structure follows strategy, this indicates the need for new research in today’s dynamic environment. According to the chosen dimensions, the sequence initially follows the ideas of the structure follows strategy. However, as the strategy
This study explores how narrative identity construction of young entrepreneurs is influenced through sensemaking processes based on storytelling. In order to do so, this study has been conducted with eleven participants of an entrepreneurial hub. This entrepreneurial hub is actively engaged in training and developing skills of young entrepreneurs. The participants in our study were considered youn
This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current spatial, environmental and financial resilience of Rågsved Centre in Stockholm. Furthermore, local future risks on resilience are also discussed and the total analysis is synthesised in a new resilient spatial interpretation of the centre. Methods of analysis include a narrative format that comprise of twelve semi-structured interviews
Why some civil wars end for good and others start up again is a complex question that inhibits many factors. This thesis argues, that the cohesiveness of rebel groups is one of the important ones in the post-conflict phase. During civil war the rebel groups can build up their political, military, and societal profile. In the aftermath of a civil war, this profile becomes one of the deciding factor
The global spread of mobile phones provides developing countries with new opportunities to spark economic growth and to improve the quality of life of their people. One specific service that emerged in this context is mobile money. Widely recognized as the most successful example is the service M-PESA in Kenya. In 2013 Kenya introduced a 10% excise fee on all financial transaction fees, including
Thesis purpose: Consumers’ resistance to reform habits and change established behaviours may impede the transition of the fashion industry from a largely linear, to a circular economy.Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of how young, female consumers perceive disruptive circular business model innovations in fashion. Based on this, the potential of respective models is e
The idea of Universal Primary Education has always been an essential part of the core concept of development. Whether gained through formal or informal channels has played relatively a little role, as long as the end-result has been an individual, who has obtained the basic level of schooling. The concept of quality education however, has not been the focus of this basic education until only recen
In April of 2019, Japan implemented a new visa system projected to bring in approximately 345,000 semi-skilled foreign workers into the country over several years. As the Japanese society also faces an ageing population and simultaneously a diminishing workforce, it has turned to immigrant workers to fill labor shortages. This influx of foreigners may result in cultural, societal, and economic iss
Although prohibited since decades, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites still remain in the soil and pose a threat to ecosystems, where especially birds are susceptible to toxic effects. In this thesis, a model developed in the 1990s was used and updated in order to estimate the risks of DDT to top predators at a forest-plant nursery site. Unusually high concentrations of DDT
