Phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions are vital in regulating nutrient cycles and productivity in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, zooplankton account for the majority of phytoplankton mortality in the ocean. Due to predation pressures, phytoplankton have evolved several defensive traits, many of them being inducible defenses such as toxin production, colony size alterations, swimming behavi
To meet the future demands and growing challenges in operating heat-exchangers at temperatures greater than 600°C, it is crucial to understand the high-temperature oxidation performance of materials for their components. Namely, it is necessary to study oxidation kinetics and elemental composition of the oxide scale to understand how the materials behave and degrade in such extreme conditions. In
Spending time outdoors during childhood can improve learning, promote pro- environmental behavior, and improve physical and mental health. However, most of our everyday lives are spent indoors and thus a disassociation from nature is created. Paradoxically, a positive relationship between humans and nature is vital for its preservation, and our survival. Through outdoor education in elementary sch
För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport. By prioritizing cyclists' traffic safety and level of service, attractiveness increases, which means that more people choose to cycle. In this study, three intersections in Malmö have been analyzed with regard to traffic safety and level of service, where
HI neutral gas is the basic building block of galaxies. It dictates the star formation rate and hence the metal enrichment rates within high redshift galaxies. HI neutral gas cannot be directly observed beyond z ≈ 0.38 due to the weakness of the 21 cm transition, therefore alternate methods need to be developed for studying high redshift galaxies. The emission luminosity of [C II]-157.741 μm trans
Servitut är något som skapas för att komplettera en fastighet och där finns två sorter: avtalsservitut och officialservitut. Servitut regleras i 14 kapitlet i Jordabalken, där de ska uppfylla rekvisiten: ändamålsenlig markanvändning, stadigvarande betydelse och i visst hänseende nyttja. Officialservitut skapas av lantmäteriet och regleras i 7 kapitlet Fastighetsbildningslagen och ska, förutom kravEasements are created as a complement to real estates. There are two kinds of easements: agreement-easements, which property owners can agree on, and utility easements, which are issued by The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority (Lantmäteriet). Utility easements regarding waste disposal is something that is becoming more and more usual where 87 % are issued in the 21st centu
Lupin seeds contain like many other grains and legumes the mineral inhibitor phytate. The presence of this anti-nutrient decreases the bioavailability of minerals such as zinc and iron. Especially people that live in areas where grains and legumes are the staple food source, as well as vegan and vegetarian groups, may be more vulnerable to mineral deficiencies. The presence of phenolic compounds i
The overall aim of the study is to create a greater understanding of how individuals belonging to second-generation immigrants feel that their identity is shaped by living in different cultures at the same time. The purpose includes to understand these individuals' experiences of belonging and sense of identity. Furthermore, the purpose is to create a greater understanding of how their experie
Thesis Purpose: The present research investigates the relationship between five perceived benefits: environmental, hedonic, financial, functional, and social, as well as two perceived risks: hygiene and loss of ownership, with consumers’ intention to adopt peer-to-peer fashion rental services in the fast fashion segment. Theoretical Perspective: The Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use o
Uppmaningen till att leva hållbart genomsyrar samhället, fast en övergång till hållbara liv är långt ifrån verklighet. Genom att förstå hur individer ser på hållbara liv i relation till välmående kan potentiellt hjälpa människor i övergången till mer hållbara liv. Den här studien var förregistrerad till undersöka valensen av individers syn på en hållbar livsstil, och hur denna synen relaterar tillThe call for living sustainably can be seen in many places throughout society, although a transition towards sustainable lifestyles is far from a reality. Understanding how people view sustainable living in relation to well-being can potentially help individuals in the transition to live more sustainably. This study was pre-registered to examine the valence of how people view sustainable lifestyle
Vid ingående av avtal aktualiseras alltid AvtL, samt AVLK om det rör ett konsumentförhållande. När lagarna stiftades var de framför allt tänkta att gälla skriftliga avtal och inte digitala avtal skrivna i kod som utförs på en blockkedja. När sådant avtal ingås aktualiseras därför frågan om de är tillåtna enligt gällande lagstiftning. För att ingå ett avtal enligt AvtL måste bland annat en viljeförWhen entering an agreement the Contracts Act becomes applicable, and Consumer Contracts Act if it concerns a consumer and a trader. When the laws were enacted they were mainly made for written agreements, and not for Smart Contracts consisting of computer code that are programmed to execute transactions. When these types of contracts are made it brings to the fore if they are to be considered lega
Changed land-use, nitrogen deposition, climate change, and the spread of non-native species have repeatedly been reported as the main drivers of floristic changes in northern Europe. However, the relevance of the geographical scale at which floristic changes are observed, is less studied and understood. Here, I assess the changes in species richness and species composition in the central parts of
I fallet HFD 2021 ref. 33 var problematiken angående överlåtelser av under-skottsföretag en central punkt. Fallet, även kallat Hoist-målet, hanterade frågan om huruvida en överlåtelse av ett underskottsföretag stred mot reg-lerna i 40 kap. IL alternativt skatteflyktslagen. HFD fann att så inte var fal-let, och biföll Hoists överklagan av den tidigare fällande domen. Fallet resul-terade i stora disIn the case HFD 2021 ref. 33 the issues regarding transactions of tax-deficient companies were a focal point. Also referred to as the Hoist-case, it dealt with the question of whether a transaction of a tax-deficient company was incompatible with the rules in the 40th chapter IL as well as the tax eva-sion act. HFD found that this was not the case and ruled in favour of Hoist, approving the transa
Heart rate is today measured in various ways, but they all include contact with the skin. Measuring heart rate contactless would be a more efficient method in healthcare and would also benefit people suffering from skin problems. It has been proven that it is possible to use radar to measure heart rate. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how to extract the heart rate with a 60 GHz pulsed coh
In this time of global health interventions, preventing borderless diseases, such as Ebola, is a question of implementing global health policies in different cultural contexts. Although these interventions are mediated by international organs, the healthcare workers on the ground are actually those who implement policies. From this starting point, this thesis investigates the extent to which Swedi
Brott med rasistiska motiv har från samhällets sida länge varit särskilt angelägna att bekämpa. I denna uppsats behandlas bland annat frågor rörande de högerextrema grupperingar som trots detta verkat i Sverige. Tre grupperingar undersöks, Nordiska rikspartiet, Svenskarnas parti och Svenska motståndsrörelsen. Av dessa existerar i skrivande stund endast Svenska motståndsrörelsen som bedöms kunna vCrimes with racist motives have since long been particularly important for society to oppose. This study examines amongst other questions issues concerning right-wing groups who have in spite of this acted in Sweden. Three groups were examined, Nordiska rikspartiet, Svenskarnas parti and Svenska motståndsrörelsen. The only existing group today is Svenska motståndsrörelsen. It is estimated that Sve

After purging the lungs with particle free air the subject inhales a controlled aerosol mixture and holds his breath for a determined period of time, before exhaling. The degree of lung disease is calculated by measuring and comparing the concentration
Since the demands for energy efficient buildings becomes higher and higher it is interesting to look at how we use our energy inside the buildings. Approximately 87% of all energy used inside a house is used for heat, a good way to lower our energy use would therefore be to lower the amount of energy needed for heat. Today there are several different types of heating systems, some regarded more en
This diploma work has shown that it is possible to generate engineered stainless steel nanoparticles using a spark discharge generator (SDG) with a selectable size in the size range 20-70 nm in diameter. The generated particles have similar composition as the electrodes used, although further studies are needed to verify if this is true for all particles generated. If this is true, it would be pos
This master thesis is the first step in developing a new laboratory process for the automatic control basic course. The new process should illustrate the benefits of state-space control compared to PID control. A process with several outputs to control is then desired as a single PID controller does not support such a system. The suggested process consists of two carts mounted on a linear rail and
