The use of celestial or geomagnetic orientation cues can lead migratory birds along different migration routes during the migratory journeys, e.g. great circle routes (approximate), geographic or magnetic loxodromes. Orientation cage experiments have indicated that migrating birds are capable of detecting magnetic compass information at high northern latitudes even at very steep angles of inclinat
Family caregivers in cancer and palliative care often face heavy responsibilities and feel insufficiently prepared for the situation as caregivers. This study evaluates short-term and long-term effects of a psycho-educational group intervention aiming to increase preparedness for family caregiving in specialized palliative home care.
The fate of phosphate in the environment is governed by reactions at particle surfaces. These adsorption and desorption reactions display biphasic kinetics involving an initial rapid reaction followed by a substantially slower one extending over long time periods. In this study we have investigated the molecular mechanisms of desorption kinetics of phosphate from ferrihydrite and goethite nanopart
Seeds of clover and lucerne were sown in equal proportions in mixtures at high densities. Thinning started earlier in clover but in both species, after thinning commenced, it proceeded at the same rate. Both species underwent collective self-thinning in accordance with the -3/2 power law but although the slopes for the species were the same the intercepts differed strongly. Plants of lucerne of a
Popular Abstract in English Mobile communication systems are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, wearable accessories, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. We can imagine that much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. Sounds like the future of communiMobile communications are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. Much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. In the 5G visions, better coverage in remote regions is also included, aiming for bringing the current "4 bill
A fundamental precept of geochemistry is that arsenate coordinates at mineral surfaces in a predominately bridging-bidentate fashion. We show that this is incorrect for the model system, arsenate adsorbed at the surface of goethite (alpha-FeOOH), using a combination of XRD, EXAFS, and IR spectroscopic results. We report the crystal structure of pentaamminecobalt(III) arsenate, which consists of mo
Waste incineration bottom ash fine fraction contains a significant amount of aluminium, but previous works have shown that current recovery options based on standard on-step Eddy Current Separation (ECS) have limited efficiency. In this paper, we evaluated the improvement in the efficiency of ECS by using an additional step of crushing and sieving. The efficiency of metallic Al recovery was quanti
Economic sanctions are defined as the exercise of pressure by one state to produce a change in the political behaviour of another state. Traditional economic sanctions are directed at the entire population of a state whilst targeted sanctions are directed at a state’s individuals. This thesis discusses the application of economic sanctions against Iran by the UN, the EU and the United States. Econ
Freedom of expression and freedom of assembly are an integral part of a democratic society and of paramount importance to demonstrations and Non-governmental organisations (NGO). Both demonstrations and NGO:s are a very important sort of social capital and are part of horizontal organisations. Russia today is characterized by dominant vertical relations, even if there is a sufficient amount of hor
The motivation for writing this thesis has been to evaluate which parameters that affect the stock market development in a country by using a Dynamic Panel Data model with Panel Data from 98 countries between the years 1992-2011. A scoring system called Stock Market Indicator (SDI) is also developed, in which the worlds countries is ranked in order to assess how the 98 selected countries are perfo
The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of the Brexit-referendum on export trade between the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries. The UK has long historical ties with the Commonwealth countries, in addition to its departure from the EU, it is interesting to investigate the British trade policy after Brexit. By constructing a synthetic United Kingdom from the remaining countrie
This essay introduces four principles of nationalist historical narration by using the narrative strategies of the political parties the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party as examples. These narrative strategies follow the following four principles: 1. Nationalists cannot invent historical narratives solely out of figments of their imaginations. The Sweden Democrats, for example, can u
Communities living in areas of extraction often find ways to overcome or resist destructive legacies, but researchers lack a deep understanding of the mechanisms by which this is done. This article helps to address this gap by employing the theoretical framework of a sacrifice zone to a case study of Yellowknife, Canada and nearby mining projects. By analyzing a combination of interview and site v
Mobility is essential to our modern world to move people and goods. However, mobility has also its downside as transport sectors are substantial emitters of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Increasingly energy efficient combustion engines and turbines, as well as electrification and carbon-neutral fuels, will reduce the climate impacts of transportation. When such technologies are combined wit
Enligt nationella föreskrifter ska vindkraftverk över 150 m i totalhöjd markeras med högintensivt vitt blinkande ljus för att säkerställa att vindkraftverken är synliga för luftfarten. Samtidigt som hinderbelysningen är viktig för flygsäkerheten kan dock ljuset upplevas som störande av närboende. Syfte med denna studie är därför att utreda konflikten mellan vindkraftsetableringar och närboendes häAccording to national regulations, wind turbines over 150 m in total height must be marked with high-intensity white flashing light to ensure that the wind turbine is visible to aviation. However, while the obstacle lighting is important for aviation safety it can also be perceived as disturbing to nearby residents. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the conflict between wind po

This master thesis addresses the electrically powered assisted bicycle (EPAC) as a future low-carbon commuting option and its market. The purpose of the report is to evaluate whether the EPAC can be used to improve the climate performance of the transport sector and to assess the outlook for the Swedish EPAC market. The EPAC is compared to the bicycle, car, bus and train and assessed thereafter. T
In this thesis we consider a general approach to modeling dependence in extreme values of exchange rates by using copulas. As specific examples the following pairs of currencies are analyzed: Swedish krona to U.S. dollar (SEK/USD), Swedish krona to Euro (SEK/EUR), Swedish krona to British pound (SEK/GBP), Swedish krona to Japanese Yen (SEK/JPY), Swedish krona to Danish krone (SEK/DKK) and Swedish
