Popular Abstract in Swedish Olika arter av stora växtätare lever på platser spridda över nästan hela jordklotet. På många av dessa platser samlar vi människor data för att kunna skatta storleken på deras populationer. Anledningen till att detta görs varierar från plats till plats, det kan till exempel vara för att djuren är utrotningshotade, för att kunna bedriva nöjesjakt eller för att begränsa aLarge herbivores are monitored for various reasons in many areas around the world. Data from such monitoring can be of varying degree of detail and extent. Several studies have shown that we need extensive amounts of data with a high degree of detail to be able to understand anything from it. Nevertheless, data in the less detailed form of annual censuses of large herbivore densities and weather i

When designing flexible multi-sensor based robot systems, one important problem is how to combine the measurements fromdisparate sensors such as cameras and force sensors. In this paper,we present a method for combining direct force control and visualservoing in the presence of unknown planar surfaces. The controlalgorithm involves a force feedback control loop and a vision basedreference trajecto

En mycket stor del av den totala råvarupotentialen för biogasproduktion finns inom lantbruket. Råvarupotentialen av gödsel i Sverige uppgår till 4 – 6 TWh. Inom lantbruket finns dessutom restprodukter från växtodling samt en stor potential i form av energigrödor (ca 7 TWh) som skulle kunna utnyttjas för biogasproduktion. I enbart restprodukter från lantbruket (gödsel och växtrester) har potentiale

This article suggests an extension of the standard decomposition of the concentration index that allows for an exploration of the pathways through which socioeconomic background relates to income-related health inequality. This novel approach is contrasted to the standard one using a panel of Swedish women in Statistics Sweden’s Survey of Living Conditions for one vital health-related behavior, sm

Advanced radio system designs have been proposed that are intended to overcome or even take advantage of the radio channel caused by multipath effects in urban environments to achieve even higher performance. We present analytical expressions for the angle-of-arrival power density function (PDF) and general analysis for time of arrival (expressed in terms of distance) respectively, for the channel

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid mitten av 1800-talet öppnades speciella institutioner i Sverige med syftet att ”rädda” prostituerade kvinnor från ett ”förtappat liv” utanför samhällets ramar. Men vilka var de kvinnor som ville rädda, bli räddare? Var deras engagemang ett uttryck för omsorg eller kan det sociala arbetet ses som en klassrelaterad maktutövning, en vilja att kontrollera och disciplineThe object of this thesis is a Swedish religious reform movement that, from mid nineteenth century to early twentieth century, undertook social work intended to ‘rescue’ female prostitutes. The purpose of the study is to illuminate the encounter between two groups of women, the rescuers and the rescued. This encounter is principally seen from the rescuer’s perspective, since it is the rescue movem

In this chapter, we focus on one element of the fragmentation of global climate governance, namely the overlap between the UN climate regime and the World Trade Organization (WTO). With a view to the appraisal question for the ‘architecture’ theme of this volume, we hold that this overlap not only implies benefits, but may also entail significant drawbacks for the development and implementation of

The St Louis aerosol was sampled during the period 16-22 August 1973 simultaneously at two locations using cascade impactors for sequential 12-hour samples. The six particle size fractions of each sampling were individually analyzed using PIXE for elements from S to Br and beyond and for heavy elements including Pb which permitted time variations of concentrations and particle size distributions t

The heat conduction in a two-dimensional square plate at nano/micro scales is investigated using numerical and semi-analytical methodologies which are energy conserving dissipative particle dynamics (DPDe) and Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) with the gray relaxation time approximation. The solution domain was considered to be a two-dimensional square plate surrounded by walls having constant te
