Ett första steg i arbetet att uppskatta kolflödet mellan landbaserade ekosystem och atmosfären är att så precist som möjligt analysera kvantiteten ovanjordisk biomassa. LiDAR teknologi har i detta avseende visat sig vara ett värdefullt verktyg. Det överlöpande målet med denna studie är att utveckla en förenklad metod, baserad på fjärranalys, för att uppskatta ovanjordisk biomassa för individuella As a first step in the assessment of carbon flux between the terrestrial environment and the atmosphere it is important to accurately quantify the carbon stock of forest ecosystems. LiDAR technology, in this respect, has proved to be a valuable tool, able to provide accurate estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB). The overall goal of this study was to develop a simplified method for assessing AGB

Proportionalitetsprincipen inom den humanitära rätten förbjuder genomförandet av en attack om den förväntas leda till dödsfall eller skador på civila och på civil egendom, vilka är överdrivna i relation till den förväntade militära vinningen. Mitt intryck, vilket också är en utgångspunkt för uppsatsen, är att proportionalitetsprincipen inom den humanitära rätten tillämpas i mycket liten utsträckniThe principle of proportionality in International Humanitarian Law prohibits attacks where civilian casualties and damage to civilian property are expected to be excessive in relation to the military advantage anticipated. This rule is exposed to critique and whether it is even applied to practical situations can be questioned. The premise of the thesis is that the principle of proportionality in

Popular science General introduction Two main activities take place into forests: photosynthesis, or GPP (the uptake of CO2 by plants, which leads to their growth) and respiration (the release of CO2 by those plants). The Net Ecosystem Exchange NEE is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration, and it depends on the nature of the forests and on climate particularities. With the ongoing This study shows how six different European forests react during the summer to abnormally warm temperatures, from 1996 to 2006. With the forecasted increase of summer temperatures over Europe, the carbon balance of forests – photosynthesis (GPP), ecosystem respiration and Net Ecosystem Exchange - in likely to change. In this thesis, the photosynthesis and the respiration of six European forests w

Uppsatsen behandlar våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer som grund för flyktingstatus i internationell rätt med svensk rätt som exempel på implementeringen i nationell rätt. Våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer förekommer i alla länder, kulturer och samhällsklasser i världen. Den här typen av våld är den vanligaste orsaken till skador hos kvinnor i näst intill alla länder i världen. Det kan vara myckeThe thesis deals with domestic violence as a ground for refugee status in international law, and in Swedish law as an example of the implementation in a national system. Domestic violence against women occurs in all countries, cultures and social classes in the world. This kind of violence is the most common cause of injury of women in close to all countries of the world. It can be very difficult

With the increased loss of control over the organizational identity (OrI) in social media, research has started to encourage organizations to hand over control of the OrI to the creation and distribution of stakeholders. This has created challenges for the strategic communicator in managing the OrI internally, as the employees adapt to the OrI in the mind of the stakeholder rather than the OrI set

Differentiation is something that can easily be seen in today’s world, almost everywhere in companies, brands, people, products. It is simply ubiquitous. Cosmetics is an industry in particular where product differentiation in particular now plays an increasingly salient role in allowing firms to stand out from competition; a competition that will never cease to exist. This study explores the very

Nik-related kinase: A New IL-10 Regulator Our body is constantly exposed to microscopic organisms called microbes. Some of these organisms are harmless while others are able to cause infection and damage. Thus, our body has defense mechanisms that include the immune system. Macrophages are cells that belong to the immune system and have key roles in defense against infection, wound healing, and r

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur transformativa verk behandlas inom den svenska upphovsrätten. I centrum för informationssamhället uppenbarar sig en grundläggande motsättning mellan å ena sidan internetkulturens kultur av fri tillgång, spridning och användning, å andra sidan upphovsrättens över- gripande mål att skydda och kontrollera spridningen och användningen av upphovsrättsskyddade verk.The purpose of the essay is to examine how transformative works are treated within Swedish copyright law. At the center of the information society, a fun- damental contradiction emerges between, on the one hand, the Internet cul- ture's stamp of free access, dissemination and use, and on the other hand, cop- yright's overarching goal of protecting and controlling the dissemination and use

Artros är en vanlig sjukdom som påverkar ett antal olika leder i kroppen. Den vanligaste av dessa är knäartros, som utgör omkring 85 % av alla atrosfall. Sjukdomen påverkar alla delar av leden, speciellt tydlig är effekten på ledbrosket som förtunnas och till slut bryts ner helt. Denna process kan leda till stora besvär, så som smärta och minskad rörlighet, men i nuläget finns mycket få behandlingBackground/purpose Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an MRI-based post processing technique to evaluate the magnetic susceptibility, χ, of human tissue using phase data. While brain imaging has been the most common application, other areas have also raised interest. For example, QSM of the articular cartilage of the knee has been suggested as a means to study the degeneration of this ti

Stormfloder orsakar förhöjda vattennivåer och kraftiga vågor. Det kan leda till omfattande erosion och översvämning längs med den drabbade kusten, vilket kan utgöra ett verkligt hot mot kustnära samhällen. Som en del av riskbedömningen kan det vara intressant att studera överspolningssediment (washover) som deponerats under tidigare stormfloder. Men för att kunna särskilja dessa ur det sedimentäraStorm surges cause elevated water levels and strong waves. This can lead to severe erosion and flooding along the affected coast, which can pose a real threat to coastal communities. As part of the risk assessment, it may be interesting to study washover sediments deposited during previous storm surges. However, in order to distinguish these in the sedimentary archive, their characteristics must b

Media holds an irreplaceable role in liberal Western democracies as it assumes core democratic functions such as disseminating information, representing public interests and taking on the role of a watchdog. In relation to the rise of populist radical right parties, research has revealed that media holds a crucial role. Hence, within the context of the rise of the populist radical right party Swed

Idag kopplas allt fler enheter upp på Internet, vilket effektiviserar såväl enhetshantering som kommunikation mellan enheter. I hemmiljöer kan användare styra enheter genom att förse dem med beskrivande namn, som till exempel "högtalare vardagsrum". Så länge antalet enheter är begränsat är en sådan lösning ofta tillräcklig. I ett fall med ett stort antal enheter måste användaren dock hålToday, an increasing amount of physical devices are obtaining Internet connectivity for more efficient management and device communication. In home environments, users may manage devices by providing them descriptive names such as "living room speaker". For a limited set of devices such a solution is often sufficient. However, in a case where one wants to individually manage a very high

Beräkningsmodeller för konsumtionsbaserade utsläpp, vad är vitsen? Julia Nordström i juni 2018 År 2015 skrev Sverige tillsammans med andra nationer under det internationella klimatavtalet - Parisavtalet. För att nå de mål som Parisavtalet satt upp måste de globala utsläppen av växthusgaser minska drastiskt de kommande åren. Sverige är ett av de mest framstående länderna i världen när det kommer tIn recent years, it has become increasingly recognized that the traditional production-based methods for calculations of greenhouse gas emissions have shortcomings. This is justified by the fact that such inventories only include emissions that occur within a particular geographical area. As major emissions also arise as a result of imports of goods and services and from international travel, such

Due to its history, Germany holds a vast number of industrial sites that have long been abandoned and thus, have fallen into oblivion. Albeit their indisputable qualities, they also bear obstacles which entails that greenfield development projects are still dominating Germany’s urban planning processes and the construction industries, thus causing a severe land consumption each day. This project d

Contemporary Russia is among some of the most unequal countries. After the fall of the Soviet Union, economic inequality has rapidly increased, and social discontent is rising as demonstrated by the continuous protests that culminated in opposition rallies during March 2017. Despite these events, political stability characterizes the current conditions of the Russian regime. What are the forces ma

A goal of entrepreneurship is to foster innovation through the creation of sustainable, scalable firms through a successful commercialization of their value proposal. Surprisingly there is little research on the key role sales and hence sales knowledge of the founder plays in the survival of an entrepreneurial venture. The purpose of this study is twofold. First, we aim to contribute to the wider

In this paper we discuss the problem of finding a suitable filter used as prefilter at digital Kalman filtering. The process is described by a stochastic state model. Two different filters are analyzed: a low-pass filter and a mean value filter. Especially we examine optimal choices of the parameters of the filters i.e. optimal integration area in the mean value filter and optimal time constant in

It is well established that bumblebees play a vital role in the ecosystem, not only as pollinators but as providers of other ecosystem services. Thus, it is important to have a good understanding of their habitat requirements and ecology. Bumblebees can learn to associate floral cues with rewarding and unrewarding flowers. The availability of resources in flowers is very dynamic as it varies durin
