Citizens are entitled to insight into public sector activities. And many people in society need the expertise held by, for example, researchers, academics or managers. The media can be an important channel in this communication. When you are contacted for an interview or asked for information by the media, there is a lot to consider. If a journalist calls for an interviewFind out what the issue is

Generalist plant-feeding insects are characterised by a broad host repertoire that can comprise several families or even different orders of plants. The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the use of such a wide host range are still not fully understood. Earlier studies indicate that the consumption of different host plants is associated with host-specific gene expression profiles. It
Inverse problems are important in quantum mechanics and involve such questions as finding which potential give a certain spectrum or which arrangement of atoms give certain properties to a molecule or solid. Inverse problems are typically very hard to solve and tend to be very compute intense. We here show that neural networks can easily solve inverse problems in quantum mechanics. It is known tha
PurposeThe Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 calls for a reduction in disaster mortality, yet measuring mortality remains a challenge due to varying definitions of disaster mortality, the quality, availability and diversity of data sources, generating mortality estimates, and how mortality data are interpreted.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses five case studies to pro
The design and synthesis of three star-shaped nonfullerene (NFA) acceptors, TPA-2T-INCN, TPA-2T-BAB, and TPA-T-INCN, based on a triphenylamine (TPA) core and linked through π-conjugated thiophene (T) spacers to different terminal units (3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene) malononitrile, INCN, and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid, BAB), are reported. These materials are blended with the widely used po
Effectiveness of management would be seen when we have to ensure the accuracy of the output. This is possible if the model predictions are done based on the behavior of desired phenomena in the real world, using appropriate organizing data in a Geo-spatial Information System. Therefore all the aspects of a phenomenon must be considered. But most Geo-spatial Information Systems' databases use a ver
To be able to connect wirelessly to the internet is nowadays a part of everyday life and the number of wireless devices accessing wireless networks worldwide are increasing rapidly. However, with the increasing number of wireless devices and applications and the amount available bandwidth, spectrum shortage is an issue. A promising way to increase the amount of available spectrum is to utilize fre
Monitoring constitutes a cornerstone, both for efficient control of optimized industrial processes and for obtaining knowledge about non-controlled, natural phenomena. This thesis is all about monitoring, or measurements. In this case the primary information is gathered with light, and in a non-intrusive, and usually a stand-off or remote way. The applications of optical monitoring in this work
Biodiversity-benefits of organic farming have mostly been documented at the field scale. However, these benefits from organic farming to species diversity may not propagate to larger scales because variation in the management of different crop types and seminatural habitats in conventional farms might allow species to cope with intensive crop management. We studied flowering plant communities usin
This work introduces the high-energy surface X-ray diffraction analysis toolkit (HAT), an open-source cross-platform software package written in Python to allow the extraction and processing of high-energy surface X-ray diffraction (HESXRD) data sets. Thousands of large-area detector images are collected in a single HESXRD scan, corresponding to billions of pixels and hence reciprocal space positi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kassava är ett stärkelserikt livsmedel, jämförbart med potatis. Det produceras främst i jordens tropiska regionerna och är ett viktigt livsmedel i Afrika söder om Sahara. Kassava har stora fördelar som gröda eftersom avkastningen är hög, den har god motståndskraft mot sjukdomar, den växer även på mager jord och den är motståndskraftig mot torka. Emellertid, kassava har Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important and cheap source of carbohydrate in tropical regions, particularly in Sub-Sahara Africa. Cassava as a human food is a good source of energy as it has a comparable high energy density of about 610 kJ/100 g fresh root. The crop has growth advantages and production can take place in soil where other crops such as maize, sorghum and sweet potatoes can
Spectral estimation can be done using different techniques, where averaging the periodogram using multiple windows is one of the techniques. When using multiple windows, the spectral estimate is commonly obtained by having the windows for the subspectra equally weighted. The goal of this thesis is to find weights for the windows that give a better spectral estimate than the equally weighted spectr
I denna uppsats analyseras uppsägningar där arbetsgivaren säger upp en enskild arbetstagare på grund av arbetsbrist, men det verkliga skälet grundar sig i personliga förhållanden. Detta fenomen benämns fingerad arbetsbrist. Vid en uppsägningstvist där arbetstagaren påstår att uppsägningen egentligen grundar sig i personliga förhållanden, prövas uppsägningen i domstolen utifrån den verkliga grundenThis essay processes employers who terminate employees due to shortage of work, but the real reason for the dismissal is based on personal reasons attributed to the individual. This topic is referred to as an induced labor shortage. In a situation where an employee claims that the real reason for a dismissal is based on personal circumstances, the court should try the real basis for dismissal. The
With the advent of autonomous vehicles (AV) comes a plethora of new parameters to take into consideration in automotive design. Over the years, traffic signals and rules have developed in symbiosis, and are clear and easy to understand when the communication is between drivers. It is less clear between driver and pedestrian, especially when a pedestrian intends to cross the street. A non-verbal ag
Kvalitetsmärkning av begagnade produkter i den svenska IT-sektorn Hur kan vi konsumenter lita på, att en begagnad produkt håller en tillräckligt hög kvalitet, för att vi ska välja att köpa den istället för en ny? Ibland är det tillräckligt att titta på en vara för att kunna bedöma kvaliteten men i vissa fall, så som elektroniska produkter, är det betydligt svårare för konsumenten att göra en bedDue to the depletion of earth’s resources and the growing concern of electronic waste it is important to extend the lifespan of electronic products. Consumers often have the perception that re-used and remanufactured products are of lesser quality than new counterparts. This study aims to evaluate if a more comprehensive sustainability certification scheme for electronic products, covering criteri
