Filtyp
Many insects are able to detect, isolate and track small targets that move quickly against a dynamic background. This ability is enabled by a group of neurons called small target motion detectors (STMD). These neurons, among other properties, have a type of short term memory called response facilitation. This type of facilitation is a phenomenon in which continued visual stimuli lead to an enhance
I samband med lantmäteriförrättningar där ersättningsbeloppet behöver framtas med hjälp av de värderingsmedel som Lantmäteriet eller utsedd värderingsman har att tillgå är det ytterst viktigt att ingångsparametrarna är korrekta. Då fastighetsregleringar där vinstfördelning blir aktuellt och där genomsnittsvärdeprincipen aktualiseras är det råtomtmarksvärdet som eftersöks. I värderingsutlåtandet reDuring land surveying operations, the amount of compensation needs to be calculated using the valuation means taken by the land surveyor or appointed appraiser. For this reason, it is important that input parameters are correct. As profit distribution is a pressing concern in relation to real estate regulations, raw land value is sought after. In this case, the responsible land surveyor reports fo
The main purpose of this study was to investigate if guanxi increases or decreases international management control mechanisms for foreign MNCs in China. The authors interviewed managers at three Scandinavian MNCs with subsidiaries in China for a comparative case study. Based on previous literature, guanxi was categorized into personal guanxi and organizational guanxi, as well as family guanxi, bu
One of my main interests as an architect has been to reflect upon the sense of place and memory, both from the context where I am and from my own personal experiences. As a university-city, Lund (Sweden) is one of the most important nodes of the Oresund Region. Here, tradition and innovation coexist, not only from the varied academic activities but also from how these dynamics have influenced the
Three-dimensional food printing is an emerging application within the realm of 3D printing with the potential of transforming the foods we consume. The technique harbors incredible potential for improving the eating experience of people suffering from dysphagia, an ailment which causes discomfort at the time of swallowing. Patients suffering from this condition have special diets consisting of tex
The transport of terrestrial carbon through riverine systems to coastal water may have a negative impact on the oxygen concentration. However, information on seasonal variation and the impact of composition of the catchment area on bioavailability is lacking. This paper covers the January and April samplings, which are a part of a yearlong study. To examine the seasonal variation in composition an
As form of effort to mitigate the increase of pollution level that caused by human activity, Ängen wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) will be built in Lidköping as part of the European LIFE project (LIWE LIFE). Ängen WWTP will be operated based on enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) technology. This treatment plant is projected to be cost effective and resource efficient, therefore this t
Det sker stora klimatförändringar i världen. Den förstärkta växthuseffekten gör att medeltemperaturen stiger och för med sig allvarliga konsekvenser. För att hålla medeltemperaturhöjningen under 2 grader skrev flera länder under Parisavtalet 2015 för att försöka reducera utsläppen av växthusgaser. Sveriges långsiktiga mål är att 2045 inte ha några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. Byggsektorn står f
This thesis investigates if it is possible to measure the plunger position in a Ledex 282352-023 solenoid actuator without the use of external sensors. To do this, various different methods, all based on comparing the current response to the applied voltage were evaluated from different categories such as calculation time, reliability and distinct position levels. The method that performed best in
Digital healthcare has proven to be increasingly important as the pressure on primary healthcare is enhanced, with a growing elderly population that lives longer. The importance of an effective digital healthcare with high quality is consequently increasing. By creating a reliable model, using machine learning algorithms, that can predict the next action for a caregiver in digital healthcare, not
Forskning tyder på att de som är aktiva på ridsportens fält har möjlighet att förvärva förmågor som till exempel ansvarstagande och handlingskraft. För att detta ska kunna ske krävs tillgång till fältet. Detta är en kvalitativ undersökning vars syfte är att med hjälp av intervjuer och den franske Sociologen Pierre Bourdieus fyra kapitalarter samt det genom familjen ackumulerade överförda kapitale
This thesis introduces TrustNet, a flexible and distributed system for deriving, and interacting with, computational trust. The focus of the thesis is applying TrustNet as a tool within distributed chat systems for implementing a subjective moderation system. Two distributed chat systems, Secure Scuttlebutt and Cabal, are discussed, the latter having been extended with a proof of concept implement
This project investigates what human interaction is and how we collaborate within the confines of finite resources. The project ex- amines what could be done to minimise the need of ownership and instead reconnect the human to the collective by encourag- ing sharing. The method used to achieve this will be an in-depth design process. The investigation is conducted from the stand point of a Swe
Studiens syfte är att få fram hur FN ser på sexuella övergrepp som utförs av deras egen personal. Jag har utfört en diskursanalys utifrån frågeställningarna om det pågår ett förebyggande arbete inom FN för att stoppa sexuella övergrepp och hur FN talar om övergreppen och förövarna. Teorin jag använder mig av är R. W. Connells teori om maskulinitet som utgår från tre relationstyper och fyra maskuli
Probiotics are living microorganisms which could induce a potential health benefit to the host when consumed in adequate amounts. Among the different probiotics in the market, Lactobacillus reuteri strain DSM 17938 is a microaerophilic and heterofermentative organism that is able to tolerate high oxygen conditions compared with another L. reuteri and lactic acid bacteria strains. This study invest
The development and the use of anibiotics since the second half of XX century really affected the approach on treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. Despite a lot of resources and energies has been invested on the research, antibiotics resistance is a growing phenomenon in the last years. Today this problem has become a real public health priority worldwide, not only for the important cl
Today, 55 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66 percent by 2050. The cities are growing, densifying and expanding. On the dark side of urbanization and rapid growth, the city centres work as dense machineries for businesses, commerce, automobiles and computerization. As a result, significant numbers of urban citizens are experienc
The literature suggests that executives still doubt the real contribution of HR, and one reason for this is that it is difficult to measure the Return on Investment in HR activities. In addition to this, earlier studies on the value creation of IT seems to discount the intangible value creation that IT investments bring to organizations. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare how
