Within the paradigm of population dynamics a central task is to identify environmental factors affecting population change and to estimate the strength of these effects. We here investigate the impact of observation errors in measurements of population densities on estimates of environmental effects. Adding observation errors may change the autocorrelation of a population time series with potentia

Colour vision greatly enhances the discriminatory and cognitive capabilities of visual systems and is found in a great majority of vertebrates and many invertebrates. However, colour coding visual systems are confronted with the fact that the external stimuli are ambiguous because they are subject to constant variations of luminance and spectral composition. Furthermore, the transmittance of the o

We report on a study of singlet-singlet annihilation kinetics in a series of Zn(II)-porphyrin-appended dendrimers, where the energy transfer efficiency is significantly improved by extending the molecular chain that connects the light-harvesting chromophores to the dendrimeric backbone with one additional carbon. For the largest dendrimer having 64 Zn(II)-porphyrins, only 10% of the excitation int

ERP systems became popular with large organizations in the 1990s. In the 21st Century, these products were expanded by addition of supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM), as well as access through the Web, creating the ERP II concept. Efforts to increase the market led vendors to serve not only large organizations, but also focus more on small-to-medium sized ente

The current expansion of mergers and acquisitions forces new postmerged organizational cultures to take form, and requires solid strategies for handling that procedure. Research indicate that at least half of all mergers fail in creating expected synergies, and that the reason for failing is assumed integration issues such as culture clashes. Creating a strong organizational culture is often appoi

Östersjön har stora problem med övergödning, eutrofiering, vilket beror på en ökad transport av näringsämnen från omgivande länder. Näringen kommer främst i form av kväve och fosfor från jordbruket och transporteras ut i Östersjön via floder. Framförallt kväve har stor påverkan på övergödningen, som i sin tur leder till fiskdöd, algblomning och syrefria bottnar i sjöar. I den här studien ska läckEutrophication problems in the Baltic Sea have drawn attention to the contribution of nutrients from surrounding countries. The problems have attracted considerable attention to non-point source nitrogen pollution of rivers and lakes. The ability to predict nitrogen export from inland sources is essential in order to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic activities, of which the leakage from agric

This Master's thesis aims to investigate the reference interview using the discourse analytical method discourse psychology. The reference interview has been studied thoroughly, and its importance has been proven repeatedly within the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). However, it has never been studied from a discourse analytical point of view before. The material for our study

BACKGROUND: Ecuador is a Spanish speaking country located in northwestern South America with an approximate population of 16 million people. It is considered a developing country. The public healthcare system is divided into three branches and there are also private services available. Musculoskeletal disorders are overly represented in the developing world, especially where poverty and rural livi

Based on the perspective of LGBTI-activists, the aim of this study was to analyze the policy processes that frame homosexuality in Uganda, as well as to illuminate different powerful stakeholders involved in the debate with power in the policy process. In October 2009, Member of Parliament David Bahati tabled the Anti-homosexuality Bill in Uganda. The drafting of the Bill condemns people convicted

Åberopandet av bevis i de svenska domstolarna styrs av principen om fri bevisföring, som ger parterna rätt att presentera de bevis de önskar, utan krav om att beviset ska ha tillkommit i enlighet med viss reglering. Från denna princip finns dock vissa undantag. Bevis som härstammar från en anonym källa har ansetts utgöra ett sådant undantag, på grund av oförenligheten med processrättens krav och pThe presenting of evidence within Swedish courts is controlled by the principle of free production of evidence, which gives the parties a right to refer to any evidence, without any requirements regarding its conception. There are however a few exceptions. Evidence originating from anonymous sources has been considered an exception, due to the discrepancy between such evidence and the principles o

För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of

The project examines how a dog carrier for the rear seat of the car can be designed to provide safety and improve user experience, for dog and human. To include both of the users throughout the process, an animal-human centred design approach was applied. The report presents the concept development process of the dog carrier and evaluates how selected methods fulfil the design approach. Initially

Through recent years, RNA has rapidly gone from mainly being known as a passive information-carrying molecule within the central dogma of molecular biology to becoming the active ingredient in multiple therapeutics, such as in vaccines and potential drugs against cancer. However, one of the main challenges with RNA as a therapeutic is efficient delivery to cells. Understanding the mechanism throug

This thesis is a qualitative case study on greening policies in the Minawao Refugee Camp in far-northern Cameroon. It thoroughly investigates the actors and dynamics of humanitarian aid and specifically explores how environmental mainstreaming can shape humanitarian governance. The case was chosen due to its unique policies and programmes that aim to green the refugee camp and use a participat

Sea ice is strongly impacted by global warming, and its decline further alters the global climate. Climate models are important tools for examining those future sea ice changes and the interaction of sea ice with other Earth system components such as the atmosphere and the ocean. Typically, these components are simulated with separate codes. The interaction between these components is typically mo

Kostnadsansvar för motpartens rättegångskostnader i domstolsprocess är normalt förekommande i processrätten, men saknas i förvaltningsprocessen. Historiskt sett betraktades kostnadsansvaret som ett skadestånd, en ordning som sedermera övergavs i merparten av processformer, dock inte i förvaltningsprocessen där synen på kostnadsansvaret som skadestånd ständigt finner sin renässans. Denna uppsats unLiability for reimbursing the other party's costs in court proceedings is a common aspect of procedural law, yet it is notably absent in administrative proceedings. Historically, such cost liability was viewed as a form of tort, a perspective that has since been largely abandoned in most types of litigation. However, this tort-based view of cost liability persists and is experiencing a constan

Uppsatsen undersöker hur intressekonflikten mellan vindkraft och rennäring, hanterats av Mark- och miljööverdomstolen (MÖD). Rennäringen och vind-kraftverk gör inte sällan anspråk så samma landområden. EU har utsett vind-kraft som en central del av den gröna omställningen mot förnybar energi, och medlemsländerna uppmanas fastställa förnybar energi som ett överskuggande allmänintresse. Samtidigt haThis paper explores how the conflict of interest between wind power and reindeer husbandry has been addressed by the Land and Environment Court of Appeal (MÖD). Reindeer husbandry and wind turbines often vie for the same land areas. The EU has designated wind power as a central component of the green transition towards renewable energy, urging member states to establish renewable energy as a param
