While many studies have shown the importance to understand biodiversity patterns, it is still rare to find comparisons of different taxa. The aim of this thesis is to identify the biodiversity distribution of different terrestrial taxa in Swedish municipalities with a volunteer collection method, and compare it with the protected areas localization. This analysis suggests a new environmental plann
Most motor actions are carried out by many neurons acting together in different areas of the brain. Recently, techniques have been developed and increasingly used that allow simultaneous recordings of the activity from a large number of neurons over time ranges as long as several weeks. At Neuronano Research Center (NRC) at Lund University, neural activity in rodents has been recorded using chroni
Allt fler hyresrätter ombildas till bostadsrätter. Vid ombildning riktas fokus på den ekonomiska vinst folk gör som köper loss sin lägenhet. Vad händer med de före detta hyresgäster som inte köper? Hur påverkas deras livssituation när de får sina grannar som hyresvärdar? Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa de kvarvarande hyresgästernas relation med sin nya hyresvärd som tidigare var deras granne. A
Closely related species often share the same local environment and use similar resources. Local diversity could then be maintained through some frequency-dependent species maintenance mechanism, fulfilling the invasibility criterion. Alternatively, and according to the neutral theory of biodiversity, different species should randomly go extinct over time. Here, I studied two closely related and co
Uttrycket "fastighetspaketeringar" avser ett förfarande där en fastighet inför en kommande försäljning ”förpackas” in i ett helägt dotterbolag vartefter andelarna i dotterbolaget avyttras till en extern köpare. Genom att nyttja olika delar av lagstiftningen kan både säljaren och köparen undvika beskattningskonsekvenser. I förarbetena identifierade lagstiftaren möjligheten att paketera vä“Packaging of properties” (Sw: paketeringar av fastigheter) refers to a procedure frequently used instead of a regular property transfer when a real estate is to be sold. The real estate is first transferred to a newly established and fully owned subsidiary. Later, the shares in the subsidiary are sold to the external buyer. By using different parts of the tax legislation this method can allow bot
Det svenska civilsamhällets krisberedskap bygger på att medborgaren tar ett stort egenansvar och själv förmår att delvis klara sig själv under samhällskriser. Samtidigt tyder studier på att allmänheten idag förväntar sig att myndigheter tar ett ännu större ansvar både före och under kriser. Detta examensarbete syftar till att ta fram en mätmetod för att kunna uppskatta allmänhetens materiella bereSwedish civil contingency preparedness relies on that citizens to a large extent themselves prepare for contingencies. On the other hand studies show that the public expects that authorities takes a much larger responsibility during contingencies than ever before. This thesis aims to develop a method for measuring public contingency preparedness. The purpose will be to determine if the responsibil
In the field of statistics known as survival analysis, the time from a starting point to one or several endpoints is analysed. Traditional survival analysis deals with one endpoint, while competing risks theory addresses the situation with multiple endpoints. This thesis gives a theoretical introduction to both methods, emphasising the competing risks setting, which is of great importance in many
This essay addresses the needs of so called ‘climate migrants’. It focuses exclusively on the relocation of the population of Kiribati, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean whose very existence is threatened by the effects of climate change. With the principles of causality, morality, capacity and community, Miller’s Connection Theory provides the study with a framework for discussing the di
The present thesis is a qualitative exploration of a group of patients’ experiences of going through an ayahuasca treatment as well as the human-entity relations they come to be constitutive of during the treatment. The ingestion of ayahuasca allows the drinker to enter a non-ordinary reality which opens up the possibility of having encounters with demons, spirits, angels, saints, animals and God,
Begrepp som jämställdhet och feminism används frekvent i dagens politiska och mediala de-batter. Det är slående hur betydelsen av dessa begrepp skiljer sig beroende på vem som tillfrågas. I jämställdhetsarbetet tenderer Sverige att se sig själv som en förebild, men kämpar likastå med en ojämn könsrepresenation i den privata sektorn. Med utgångspunkt i att begreppet jämställdhet är ett mångtydigt sConcepts such as gender equality and feminism are terms frequently used in political and media debates. It’s striking how the meanings of those terms differ radically de-pending on whom you ask. While Sweden tends to consider itself as a self-reputable role model for prioritizing gender equality, it still struggles with an unequal gender rep-resentation in the private sector. Believing that the t
Sammanfattning Den kanske största miljöpolitiska utmaningen inom Europa är för närvarande frågan om hur det är möjligt att på ett effektivt och ändamålsenligt sätt uppnå miljömålen i syfte att skapa en hållbar utveckling i samhället. Trenden har gått från att tillgripa lagstiftningsåtgärder till att via marknadsbaserade styrmedel försöka involvera olika marknadsaktörer att på egen hand bli delaktSummary Potentially one of the greatest environmental policy challenges in the European Union is the question of how to efficiently and effectively achieve environmental goals through which society can correct for and obtain a level of sustainable development. The trend has gone from one of command and control legislation towards using more market-based instruments that seek to involve the differ
I Sverige lever 40-50 procent av befolkningen med långvarig smärta. Smärtan kan påverka personen fysiskt, psykologiskt, samt kulturellt och kan leda till förändring av aktiviteter, minskad aktivitetsgrad och därmed minskad delaktighet i aktivitet. Behandling som finns är bland annat multidisciplinära rehabiliteringsprogram. GAP i vardagens aktiviteter är ett instrument som mäter delaktighet i akti
Det är troligt att vi under 2000-talet kan förvänta oss mer frekvent hög nederbörd vid höga latituder. Hög nederbörd kan belasta spillvattensystemen i samhället genom att nederbördsrelaterat tillskottsvatten läcker in i spillvattenledningar. Detta kan orsaka problem som översvämmade källare, utspädningseffekter i reningsverk och ökade energikostnader för att pumpa spillvatten. Genom att hitta käll
Association for computer aided genealogy research of Sweden(DIS) is investigating the possibility of a nationwide genealogical database (RGD) of Sweden's historical population. The finished database should contain basic information about individuals' names, birth, marriage, death, and individuals' relationships such as father, mother, husband/wife and children. This will make up a kind
My purpose with this essay was to understand the contact persons view of his/her own professional role/identity, and the specific work environment at a correctional facility as an organization. To reach my purpose I answered three questions: how the correctional organization affect the individual contact person and their workmanship seen from a professional perspective, how contact persons find th
This report is the product of my master thesis in technical design with a focus on product development. The project was done in co-operation with Wayne, who produces and sells fuel dispensers and are a part of General Electrics, at their Malmö office in Sweden. For their latest line of fuel dispensers, Helix, they were in need of a system for describing different configurations for the barrier, an
The aim of this study was to examine how autobiographic authors afflicted by schizophrenia use their language when they talk about themselves, what kind of words and terms they use when they talk about schizophrenia and if there is a possibility that the discourses that the authors use differentiate from each other. In order to examine this I used critical discourse analysis due to the fact that p
Sammanfattning År 1987, kom Brundtlandkommissionens rapport med titeln Vår gemensamma framtid. Enligt rapporten så kan hållbar utveckling definieras som: En utveckling som tillfredsställer dagens behov utan att äventyra kommande generationers möjligheter att tillfredsställa sina behov. Begreppet hållbar utveckling har ända sen dess varit en central del av alla internationella miljörättsliga dokuSummary In 1987 the Brundtland commission presented its report entitled Our Common Future.
