Much has been written about valuing the student voice in UK higher education. The discussion runs alongside an increasing focus from university leadership on improving students’ experiences, and development of the ways in which the student voice is captured, considered, and acted upon. These techniques are central to understanding and developing student engagement (Brooman et al. 2014; Cook-Sather

Image segmentation among overlapping land cover areas in satellite images is a very crucial task. Detection of belongingness is the important problem for classifying mixed pixels. This paper proposes an approach for pixel classification using a hybrid approach of Fuzzy C-Means and Cellular automata methods. This new unsupervised method is able to detect clusters using 2-Dimensional Cellular Automa

As the second largest exporter of agricultural products worldwide, the Netherlands is a production hub, a leading example of high yields per hectare. However, this productivity includes intensive farming practices, placing a risk on the climate through the emission of greenhouse gases N2O and CO2 from soil. To meet global efforts, the Netherlands must reduce its climatic impact, including soil emi

In this presentation we focus on men’s violence against the female population both during and in the wake of climate disasters in the Philippines and Vietnam. We examine the legal framework which has been ratified in the two countries to protect individual’s right to live a life without being abused and; how various types of organizations work to prevent and combat specific kinds of violence in th

In this paper we have used primary and secondary sources to make, to our knowledge, the first attempt ever to quantify the role non-wage labour on settler farms in colonial Africa. We have used Southern Rhodesia as a case in point and focused primarily on the role of tenant labour. Our findings show that the rise of wage labour did not mark the end of the latter. On the contrary, the two forms of

The staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are secreted by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and are the most common causative agent in staphylococcal food poisoning. The staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) has been associated with large staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks, but newer identified SEs, like staphylococcal enterotoxin H (SEH) has recently been shown to be present at similar levels as S

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the validity of the hypothesis that there is a negative relationship between female official representation and the level of corruption in developing states. The possibility of a reversed causality is also considered. This is done through statistical analysis combined with a theoretical framework. The results show a weak relationship between the level o

För mindre och nystartade aktiebolag kan finansiering vara ett gissel, särskilt om den verksamhet som bedrivs i bolaget är kostsam eller förenad med hög finansiell risk för potentiella finansiärer. Sådan är situationen ofta i det som i folkmun kallas ”startups”, då bolagen frekvent bygger på enbart en idé eller en outvecklad produkt, och därmed utgör mycket osäkra investeringar för poten- tiella fFunding for a small or newly established limited company can be difficult, especially if the operating objective in the company is associated with high costs and high financial risks for potential financiers. This is often the case for so called “start-ups”, as these types of companies are frequently based on an idea or an undeveloped product. Investing in a start-up is very risky for pot- ential

Bakterier har också skelett Bakteriers cytoskelett består av olika typer av proteiner, som ansvarar för bland annat bakteriers rigiditet och form samt är delaktiga i olika tillväxtprocesser. En grupp cytoskelettproteiner som är delaktiga i just tillväxtprocesser är intermediära filament (IF). Syftet med arbetet var att försöka identifiera nya IF i bakterien Streptomyces coelicolor, en viktig baktCoiled coil is a simple and versatile type of protein fold. Proteins with this kind of structure play roles in a numerous kind of cellular processes, e.g. DNA repair, nucleoid organization, and cytoskeletal functions. Cytoskeletal intermediate filament (IF) proteins are an example of proteins containing large coiled coil domains. The eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins tubulin and actin have well-stu

Identifierade orsaker och åtgärder för att minska matsvinn inom gymnasieskolor Livsmedel som slutar som matsvinn bidrar till den negativa miljöpåverkningar som bland annat ökad växthuseffekt, övergödning och utnyttjande av naturresurser. Matsvinn är ett stort problem inom många områden. Skolor är det den sektorn inom storkök som bidrar till mest matsvinn årligen. I svenska skolor kastas det i snThe concept food waste means food that could have been eaten if handled differently and it is a growing problem in the society. Food that ends up as food waste is unnecessary production. It contributes with nearly 800 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide in Sweden, who is based on 1,3 million tonnes discarded food annually. A challenge in reducing food waste is that the solution is not as simple as just s

Högvalenta järn (IV)-oxo-komplex, där en oxidjon (O2-) är bunden till järnjonen, är ofta väldigt reaktiva molekyler och tros spela en viktig roll i många biologiska reaktioner. De antas vara de aktiva deltagarna i de reaktioner som så kallade oxygenas-enzymer utför. Med förhoppning om att kunna utnyttja dessa reaktioner industriellt har mycket forskning riktats mot att syntetisera kopior av dessa Oxygenases use molecular oxygen to oxidise a plethora of biologically important reactions. To gain access to these reactions on a synthetic, and in the longer run, an industrial scale research focused on mimicking the active oxidant species, synthesis and reactivity studies of high valent Fe(IV)-oxo complexes that function as mimics of the active sites in iron oxygenases has been performed in the
