There is a growing interest in the usage of social media in European museums. Research in the area is scares though. The problem is a lack of an overview on how the usage of social media is spread around Europe and on how museums use social media. Through the observation of 70 European museums and how they use different social media tools, we hope to clarify these questions. We used a three way ap
Problem: There are strong forces from for instance politicians, who want to allow third party access to the district heating market, as has already been done in the electricity and gas markets. But what would be the consequences of a third party access to the district heating market? Will it create a competitive market, and will it be able to put any pressure on the prices? What will be the conseq
This study treats late Jurassic deposits in the Troll field, located 80 km northwest of Bergen. The study is based on well information, published by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, consisting of digital core photos, logs and drilling reports. The investigated wells are located in the Troll Vest field, and consists of wells number 31/2-3, 31/2 -7, 31/2-9 and 31/2-11. The wells illustrate two p
Issue: Does a statistical relationship between OMXS30 and S&P500 plus OMXS30 and DAX30 exist after extreme returns? Is it possible to explain the relationship between OMXS30 and S&P500 plus S&P500 and DAX30 with the chosen economic theories? Purpose: The purpose is to examine the effects on OMXS30 during 6 days after extreme returns on S&P500 or DAX30 are present. These effects wi
Infant mortality is an important indicator to observe the children and public health and also to examine the health policies. It is also used as the best indicator to check the socioeconomic development. It is also one of the major goal of United Nation to reduce infant mortality in developing countries. Now a days it is also the biggest challenge for the policy makers and demographers to introduc
The North Korean policy of nuclear weapons has always constituted a puzzle for political scientists, media analysts and politicians. The inconsistency permeating this policy area makes it particularly hard to grasp. The aim of this case study is to enhance the cumulative knowledge of the North Korean policy of nuclear weapons by applying three theories of international relations: Realism, construc
Introduction: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an adverse metabolic state composed of obesity, hyperglycemia/pre-diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. It substantially increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, and has a huge impact on public health. Area covered: The present review gives an update on the definition and prevalence of MetS, and its impact
This article presents a dynamic land property rights theory based on the law of the limit to land productivity, and then uses this theory and a large amount of data to compare the history of the agricultural and industrial revolutions in England and China. The article finds that, in England, the arable land-especially sown land-per capita of the agricultural population trended downward before the
The study of economic development in African countries is facing a basic problem of lack of reliable data and statistics. These problems of economic data are best addressed under three main categories: design, capacity, and politics. The focus is on gross domestic product (GDP), but the relevance goes beyond GDP statistics because the aggregate of GDP requires economic data on all sectors of the e
Increases in the size of agricultural fields, the loss of permanent green field edges and other semi-natural habitats have accompanied the intensification of agriculture, and are still ongoing. From a farm economic perspective, an increase in field size increases efficiency mainly due to cost savings. However, recent evidence suggests that increases in field size might lead to the loss of ecosyste
The Narrative Clip is a small wearable camera that takes an image every 30 seconds. By wearing the clip a whole day a user captures a long image sequence of the day's events. In this thesis we will segment such a sequence into the individual events automatically. Multiple sequences are segmented by humans in order to nd a groundtruth for each sequence. The groundtruth will be used to determine
Dalköpingeån, en icke-perenn å med ett avrinningsområde på 66 km² beläget i Söderslätt, södra Skåne, upplever en säsongsbunden torka längs en 3 km lång sträcka av dess totala längd på 15,4 km under sommaren. På den plats där ån torkar ut observerades ett slukhål 1976, vilket tros bidra till torrperioden. För att undersöka detta fenomen och få insikter i det hydrogeologiska systemet genomfördes en The Dalköpinge River, a non-perennial river with a 66 km² catchment area located in Söderslätt, southern Scania, Sweden, experiences a seasonal dry phase along a 3 km stretch of its 15.4 km length during summer. At the location where it runs dry a sinkhole was observed in 1976, believed to contribute to the dry spell. To investigate this phenomenon and gain insights into the hydrogeological system
Användningen av persondata har blivit ett allt vanligare fenomen och utnyttjandet av data spelar en mer central roll i ekonomin. Data är en värdefull resurs men det har blivit svårare för konsumenter att kontrollera hur data om dem samlas in och delas eller säljs vidare. Många aktörer är ofta involverade i datautvinningsprocessen utan att det framgår vilken roll de spelar och till vilket ändamål d
Adventitious root formation is a limiting factor for vegetative propagation in apple. The molecular mechanisms underlying the rooting process are still largely unknown and need to be extensively investigated. The Adventitious Rooting Related Oxygenase (ARRO-1) has previously been isolated from apple and has been shown to be upregulated during adventitious root induction. However, the function of t
In the face of escalating climate risks and impacts, the majority of people will not be able to move, will choose not to move, or may perhaps temporarily move and return to their homes. Understanding immobility in the context of climate change is thus essential to support the development of equitable and effective adaptation strategies and the resilience of people and communities that remain in at
Several deep Greenland ice cores have been retrieved, however, capturing the Eemian period has been problematic due to stratigraphic disturbances in the ice. The new Greenland deep ice core from the NEEM site (77.45°N, 51.06°W, 2450 m.a.s.l) recovered a relatively complete Eemian record. Here we discuss the cosmogenic (10)Be isotope record from this core. The results show Eemian average (10)Be con
The occurrence of floods is expected to increase due to climate change, which may lead to destruction or loss of value of cultural heritage sites. There are approximately 500 church buildings in Lund diocese. The aim of this study was to investigate how this might affect the church buildings, their inventory, and cemeteries within Lund diocese, which are protected under Swedish law. The aim was al
Today, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death in women. Early detection of breast cancer relapse presents increased treatment options and better control. Protein biomarkers from plasma are currently measured by state-of-the-art methods like ELISA, which require antibodies with high sensitivity and specificity. Developing such assays is laborious and time consuming. Thus, there
