Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Tritici) is a crop disease caused by a fungus that regularly infects wheat and causes yield loss in Ethiopia. The disease has a significant impact on the country’s crop production, food security, health, and socioeconomic well-being. Anticipating yellow rust epidemics can help to better manage them and mitigate their adverse impacts. This study explores t

Kupongbolaget särskiljer sig från avstämningsbolag på huvudsakligen två vis. I ett kupongbolag får aktiebrev ges ut, och bolaget för aktieboken på egen hand. Aktiebrevet fungerar dels som en sorts legitimation gentemot bolaget, där innehav utav ett aktiebrev innebär att dess innehavare ska presumeras vara aktieägare. Aktieboken å sin sida är bolagets register över vilka som innehar aktier i bolageCompanies that are not central securities depository (CSD) companies are known as “kupongbolag” and were until the 1970’s the only sort of limited company in Sweden. Companies that are not CSD companies differ from CSD companies in two main ways. A company that is not a CSD company can issue stock certificates, and the company is responsible for the running of its share register. The share certifi

The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 opened up the public space for Egyptian women from very different backgrounds. However, although women played a decisive role in revolutionary events, this did not result in the abolishment of the patriarchal bargain between Egyptian secular-oriented female feminists and the state in post-Mubarak Egypt.

This Master Thesis report describes the development of a new surveillance camera design containing PIR-sensors (Pyroelectric Infrared). The background to this project lies in the idea that PIR-sensors and video-motion detection technology can complement each other and thereby reduce false alarms. Research on PIR-sensors and optics were carried out to gain and understanding of the limitations and p

This report explains my degree project at Lund University School of Industrial Design. The project started out by exploring the materials Wood and Textile, although after researching the two areas further it seemed more valuable to look into the way we consume these materials today.

As the appearance of late blight is hard to predict there is heavy overcompensation of fungicides nowadays. By better foreca
