E-sport is a phenomenon that along with internet has had a fast development in the last decade. A person can stream their gaming today so that other people are able to follow what is happening on the streamer’s computer. This live interaction makes it possible for people all over the world to come together over a common interest, online gaming. The use of internet also carries negative aspects suc
This mastert hesis has been done as a joint project between the Department of Automatic Control in Lund and Volvo Technological Development in Gothenburg. The thesis treats methods to handle nonlinearities in a throttle unit. Theapproach has been to first design a linear controller based on the results from system identification, and then to develop an adaptive updating law estimating uncertain pa
The short stories from Francisco Tario, a relatively unknown Mexican author, show signs of a postmodern and individual aesthetic. In order to reach this conclusion, it has been necessary to analyze the phenomenon of the fantastic in its history, its relation to myth and fantasy, and in its particular reception throughout Latin America and Mexico. Furthermore, we have reviewed different models and
Surveillance has throughout history been a widely discussed phenomenon and the debate over the delicate balancing of state power vis-à-vis privacy in the pursuit of national security equally so. In 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA had been conducting digital surveillance globally and it represents a tipping point in the history of surveillance. By applying the normative logics deontology
Shopping for groceries often means that, as consumers, we travel to the grocery store ourselves, by ear, bike or on foot. At the store we pick out the groceries that we want, go the register and pay for them. During the last couple of years consumers in Sweden have been given the opportunity to let someone else select and transport the groceries to their home instead, so called home shopping. As t
En vanlig skiljelinje mellan det kriminaliserade och icke-kriminaliserade området dras vid uppsåtets nedre gräns, då en grundförutsättning är att brott kräver uppsåt. Uppsåt och straffbarhet relaterar inte enbart till varandra på ovan nämnda vis. Vid brottsformer såsom försök, förberedelse och stämpling uppställs krav på att gärningspersonen som en del av brottsrekvisiten ska ha haft uppsåt att nåA common dividing line between the criminalized and non-criminalized area is drawn at the lower limit of intent, as a basic requirement is that crime requires intent. Intent and criminality do not only relate to each other in the above-mentioned way. In the case of dependent forms of crime such as attempt, preparation and conspiracy, a requirement is made that the perpetrator, as part of the requi
This thesis aims to examine the possibilities and obligations that an employer in the private sector has towards an employee who uses or has used drugs. Swedish labour law lacks regulation and case law concerning the measures that may be taken in the event of an employee’s drug use. Due to the absence of specific legislation, an analogical interpretation is made based on the provisions that regula
High valent FeIV species serve as important intermediates in many metalloenzymes involved in biological oxidation reactions. For example, in reactions with iron oxo-bleomycin or cytochromes P450, FeIV intermediates are generated as key factors. In addition, they have been implicated as important intermediates during nitrogen fixation and the Haber Bosch process. While FeIV-oxo intermediates are co
This thesis presents non-invasive spectroscopic studies of wood samples. Wood from both recent samples and archeological samples from the warships Vasa and Riksäpplet are studied. The samples are studied with an optical technique called GASMAS (GAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy). The difference in absorption signals with regard to the orientation and number of annual rings in the woo
The problem of representing animals in literature and poetry is a topic that lately has started to receive more attention from theorists and literary scholars. In her poetry book Liknöjd fauna, the swedish poet Aase Berg creates a space for negotiating and deconstructing the borders between human, animal and nature. At the same time, the poems seem to lead a discussion on the very act of represent
This thesis analyzes the policy process of the Swedish aid policy framework that was launched in March 2012 and decided by the Government in March 2014. Initially, the Swedish Minister for Development Cooperation said the process would take half a year. Instead it took two years and a change of Ministers. The thesis aims to understand which factors were constraining the policy process during the
The purpose of this thesis is to visualize whether there is a correlation between the intellectual capital and the market value among Swedish companies, listed on the Stockholm stock exchange. The purpose is furthermore to enlighten if there are factors that might alter the strength of this correlation. By using these results the aim is to further examine a possible indicator for leveraging the ef
Mobbning som begrepp dök upp först på 1960-talet och uppmärksammades inte som ett samhällsproblem förrän på 1980-talet. Den definition av begreppet mobbning som kanske är det mest spridda, är definitionen som forskaren Dan Olweus använder: ” En person är mobbad när hon eller han, upprepade gånger och under en viss tid blir utsatt för negativa handlingar från en eller flera personer(…)handlingarna ‘Bullying’ as a term first appeared in Sweden in the 1960s, and was not considered being a social problem until the 1980s. The perhaps most widespread definition of the term bullying is defined by the Norwegian researcher Dan Olweus: "A person is bullied when he or she has, repeatedly and over time become a victim of negative actions from one or more persons (...) the action shall be made wit
Male moths rely on female sex pheromones to find their mating partner and on plant volatiles for the detection of food sources. In the noctuid moth, Agrotis ipsilon, plasticity of central sex pheromone processing has been shown previously in the antennal lobe. The sensitivity of antennal lobe interneurons increases with age and juvenile hormone level. Here we investigated whether age affects not o
Software inspections, which were originally developed by Michael Fagan in 1976, are an important means to verify and achieve sufficient quality in many software projects today. Since Fagan's initial work, the importance of software inspections has been long recognized by software developers and many organizations. Various proposals have been made by researchers in the hope of improving Fagan's ins
I studier av resenärernas, och potentiella resenärers, preferenser är den geografiska skalan en intressant parameter: lokalt, regionalt, interregionalt. Det finns emellertid ingen tydlig bild av gränsdragningarna däremellan. Ett antal möjliga definitioner har identifierats i litteraturen, men dessa definitioner är tämligen vaga och använder dessutom olika typer av indikatorer. I syfte att reda ut When exploring preferences of existing and potential public transport passengers, it isrelevant to acknowledge differences between different geographic scales: local, regionaland interregional. However, the boundaries between these categories remain unclear.Some previous attempts have been made to define regional travel – and hence local andinterregional travel – but the resulting definitions are
Popular Abstract in English Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is known as the father of microbiology, because he made the first microscopic observation of bacteria in human history, published in 1683. For the naked human eyes, bacterial cells are too small to observe, and the development of microscopy techniques has since then been fundamental for examining bacterial cells. Recent advances in visualizing toCoiled coil proteins emerge as important determinants of bacterial cellular organization. Several such proteins display properties characteristic to metazoan intermediate filament (IF) proteins, and are therefore designated bacterial IF-like proteins. The best studied examples of the latter are crescentin in Caulobacter crescentus that determines the curved cell shape, and FilP (filament forming-p
The idea of dynamic programming is general and very simple, but the "curse of dimensionality" is often prohibitive and restricts the fields of application. This paper introduces a method to reduce the complexity by relaxing the demand for optimality. The distance from optimality is kept within prespecified bounds and the size of the bounds determines the computational complexity. Several computati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränning är den viktigaste energikällan på jorden och en ökad förståelse av förbränningsprocesser är väsentlig för att minska miljöfarliga utsläpp och för att öka effektiviteten av förbränningsanläggningar och motorer. För detta ändamål är det viktigt att bestämma bl. a. koncentrationer av ämnen som bildas under förbränningen. Laserbaserade mätmetoder möjliggör berörCombustion is the most important source of energy worldwide. A better understanding of it is essential if pollutant emissions are to be reduced and combustion devices be made more efficient. This requires measurement of physical and chemical combustion parameters. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is widely employed as a laser-diagnostic technique for the detection of combustion species but it suff
