We studied the energy and protein balance of a Thrush Nightingale Luscinia luscinia, a small long-distance migrant, during repeated 12-hr long Eights in a wind tunnel and during subsequent two-day fueling periods. From the energy budgets we estimated the power requirements for migratory flight in this 26 g bird at 1.91 Watts. This is low compared to flight cost estimates in birds of similar mass a
The aim was to explore health in relation to the home as experienced by very old, single-living Swedish people. Applying a grounded theory approach, 40 men and women aged 80-89 were interviewed in their own homes. Data analysis revealed the main theme, "The home is the hub of health", comprising two categories, "The home as support for health", and "Having an inner driving force to maintain health
Popular Abstract in Swedish Jahai är ett språk som tillhör asli-grenen av språkfamiljen mon-khmer och talas av ca 1000 jägare-samlare i bergsregnskogarna i norra Västmalaysia. Denna avhandling, baserad på språkliga data inhämtade i fält, beskriver och analyserar grammatiken i jahai. Arbetet inleds med en introduktion till språket och dess talare och behandlar sedan bl.a. ljudsystemet (fonologin), Jahai, a language belonging to the Aslian branch of the Mon-Khmer language family, is spoken by a group of about 1,000 hunter-gatherers in the montane rainforests of northern Peninsular Malaysia. Drawing on linguistic data collected in the field, the present dissertation is a study of the grammar of Jahai. The work begins with an introduction to Jahai and its speakers, and subsequent chapters char
Modelica is a modelling language used to describe a physical system and can be used to simulate the system. A Modelica compiler transforms a Modelica model into an equation system in order to simulate it. During this transformation the information about where the equations originates from is lost. This information could be useful to have when, e.g., trying to locate an error. In this thesis we sol
Our study sought to reveal whether social power affects Facebook behaviour in a similar manner that it affects behaviour in the real world. We predicted that participants in the high power condition would be more active on Facebook compared to both low power and control conditions, while low power participants would be less active on Facebook. Participants in the experimental condition went throug

This paper examines the role of powerful entities in shaping international accounting standards. The purpose of this thesis is to identify whether and to what extent the different actors influence changes in the leasing standard-setting process, and provide an in-depth understanding of the political influences throughout the development of the leasing accounting standard. In this paper the qualita
I examensarbetet gjordes fyra variationer av en modell med målet att simulera torkningen av bark. Alla fyra variationerna jämfördes med experimentella data från en pilotanläggning och värme- och massöverföringskoefficienten kalibrerades mot experimentella data. De fyra modellvariationerna är: • Adiabatisk mättningsmodell • Värme och massöverföringskoefficientsmodell • Isotermmodell • FraktionsmodeDuring this master thesis four variation of a model were created with the goal to simulate the drying process of bark. All four variations were compared with experimental data from a pilot plant and heat and mass transfer coefficient were calibrated against the experimental data. The four model variations are: • Adiabatic saturation model • Heat and mass transfer coefficient model • Isotherm model
The purpose of this thesis is to determine how electric vehicle trucks can meet the needs of customers in the urban building and construction sector. This sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and also creates noise and other disturbances in urban environments. There are multiple benefits that come with electric trucks, which can address these issues if they are used
Det har hävdats att den teoribildning rörande beslutsfattande under osäkerhet som utvecklats främst inom matematiken, men även inom den ekonomiska vetenskapen bland andra, med fördel skulle kunna inkorporeras även i den juridiska disciplinen. I första hand är det i detta sammanhang Bayes sats som avses, och denna sats tillämplighet på juridiska spörsmål. Detta började diskuteras på allvar mot slutThere have been claims put forth which aims at proving that the theories developed within mathematics, but also within economics to name one, regarding decision making and fact finding would suit very well to be adopted into the legal decision making as well. It is in this context primarily Bayes’ theorem which is referred and mentioned theorems compatibility with law. One of the first articles re
Heavy-duty vehicles of today consist of much electronics and many sensors. One of these sensors is a longitudinal accelerometer. This Master's thesis investigates the possibilities to determine the road slope angle with a longitudinal accelerometer. With the knowledge of current road slope angle, many other control systems in the trucks can be improved. The optimization of these control system
Den okända Arnöbäcken – Vad finns i den? Eutrofiering, vilket är övergödning, är ett stort problem både i färskvatten och utmed hav i regionala områden såsom i Östersjön. I Östersjön är den största bidragsgivaren till eutrofiering det massiva utflödet av mineraler och näringsämnen från floder och bäckar. Strax intill Nyköping ligger Strandstuviken som är en bukt i Östersjön. Länsstyrelsen i SöderEutrophication is a serious problem that is affecting the Baltic Sea and its streams connecting to it. It brings a negative impact on the biodiversity, the streams recreational value, sport fishing and also the overall ground water quality. Recently, there have been many restoration attempts on streams across Sweden, to try to repair the streams and prevent them from leaking nutrients and minerals
Today's society is in constant change and development where globalisation and technology have affected the labour market. As a result, the labour market is different and the employees set higher demands with new requirements for the employer to satisfy. It has thus become increasingly important for organisations to develop strategies to attract, develop and retain employees. The purpose of th
När socialtjänsten beslutar att omhänderta ett barn och placera det i ett familjehem innebär det ett allvarligt ingrepp i barnets liv. För vissa barn kan beslutet om att samhällsvården ska upphöra dock få lika ingripande konsekvenser. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur tvångsomhändertagna barns rätt till familj tillgodoses när en familjehemsplacering ska avslutas. Arbetet utgår från frågestThe decision to take a child into public care and place it in a foster home means a serious interference in a child’s life. However, to some children, the decision to terminate the care could mean just as much an interference. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the right to family for children in compulsory care when a placement in a foster home is to be terminated. The thesis investigates ho
Over the last decades, the Swedish insurance industry has seen decreased entry barriers due to deregulation and emerging new technologies, which have the potential to disturb the stagnated and consolidated competitive landscape of the industry. Initiated by newcomers like American insurance startup Lemonade, and later Swedish Hedvig among others, there is an increased push toward digitalization, t

Målet var vidare att undersöka hur arbetsprocessen har påverkats på grund av kompletterande utmaningar orsakade av pandemin. Studien baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med sex biståndshandläggare som arbetar inom den svThe purpose of this study was to gain an increased knowledge and understanding of the challenges occurring in care managers’ work to assess needs of assistance among elderly people in Sweden. Further, the aim was to investigate how the work process has been affected due to supplementary challenges caused by the pandemic. The study is based on qualitative interviews with six care managers working w
