För att undvika slitage på naturen kanaliseras människor som besöker naturområden ofta att gå på stigar. Men förutom att vegetationen på stigen påverkas, kan stigens närvaro genom en så kallad "kanteffekt" även ha en inverkan på den omkringliggande markvegetationen. Slitage av vegetationen är kanske den mest synliga effekt som uppkommer på ett område som används för friluftsliv. TrampeDespite being precautionary, people visiting nature reserves leave marks. Wear of the vegetation is perhaps the most noticeable effect that can be seen on an area that's being used for recreation, and trampling is usually the primary reason causing the wear of the vegetation. Paths are often being constructed in nature reserves to avoid uncontrolled trampling and wear of natural values. Howeve

Problemformulering: Byggprocessen är idag långsam, kostsam och genererar stora mängder spill och utsläpp. För att kunna möta bostadsbehovet från den snabbt växande befolkningsmängden måste tekniken utvecklas, den måste bli snabbare och mer kostnadseffektiv. Med ny teknik där betongelement tillverkas genom automatiserad och datorstyrd 3D-printning kan eventuellt hela betongbyggnadsprocessen effektiQuestion formulation: The construction process today is slow, costly and generates large amounts of waste and emissions. In order to meet housing needs of the rapidly growing population in a sustainable way, the technology must evolve; it must be faster and more cost-effective. New technology, where concrete is manufactured by automated and computer-controlled 3D-printing, can possibly streamline

This thesis evaluates the biking accessibility and history of Nova, the shopping mall that was established in Lund in 2002. Doing so by studying the current situation based on observations and literature studies, it also contains a deeper analysis of the history and role of the municipality based on further literature studies and interviews with officials. The conclusion shows poor biking faciliti

Vår undersökning kommer handla om kundfokuset inom agila utvecklingsmetoder. Vi vill skapa en förståelse samt en bredare bild över hur arbete och kommunikationen inom agila utvecklingsmetoder påverkar företag och deras kunder. Denna frågeställning har även en stor koppling till det systemvetenskapliga programmet som vi tre författare läser tills Juni, 2015. Vi har i rapporten använt oss utav litte

Optical DNA mapping is a technique for obtaining fast DNA sequence dependent barcodes by observing the stained DNA with a microscope, while it is held stretched inside a nanochannel. Noise plays an important role in optical maps and can significantly change the features in a barcode. One way to reduce random noise is to time average many time frame measurements. This method is efficient but requir

I rapporten analyseras den europeiska och amerikanska marknaden för optioner och terminskontrakt på råvaran vete. Optioner skrivna på futures på vete värderas med hjälp av generella implicita volatiliteter och prisförändringar i terminskontrakten analyseras utifrån ett index. Investeringsstrategier som använder sig av såväl optioner som positioner i terminskontrakt på råvaran konstrueras. Resultat

Over the past decade an increase in labour taxation reforms have been observed across several countries. The main target of these reforms has generally been to encourage labour supply among different groups. In the case of Sweden, an earned income tax credit was introduced in 2007 and reinforced in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 as a measure to deal with the high unemployment level. The relationship be

The focus of this thesis is an idea named “brukarforum”, a form of collective user participation in residential care. The main purpose of the study is to gain deeper knowledge about “brukarforum” as an idea and its process of institutionalization, i.e. to study whether, and if so in what way, the idea “brukarforum” has become a regular activity in the local practice within the Swedish National

This thesis studies the interplay between the pre-existing social structures in rural Cambodia and the ‘Identification of Poor Households Programme’. The aim is to comprehend the processes and dynamics that people’s actions give rise to when they accommodate and adapt the external development intervention into the realities they live in. A focus is put on the influence of local power structures on

Spinntronik är gren av elektronik där det inte är elektronens laddning som används utan det är elektronens spinn står i centrum. Spinntronik har sitt ursprung i upptäckten av jättemagnetoresistansen 1988, som ledde till att Albert Fert och Peter Grünberg fick Nobelpriset i fysik 2007. Jättemagnetoresistansen visar sig genom att ett materials elektriska resistans är beroende av styrkan och riktningIn this thesis the properties of planar metal-gadolinium nitride-metal junctions have been studied with the aim of establishing ohmic and Schottky contacts to thin polycrystalline films of n-type gadolinium nitride (GdN). GdN is an intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductor of the rare earth nitride series. Samples and planar junction devices were grown on sapphire substrates, and the metal contacts we

During the last few years Gothenburg in Sweden has been crippled by a vast number of social and criminal injustices. Among them are shootings, murders and the increasingly poor social welfare for the inhabitants. One of the areas that have taken the hardest toll by this is Biskopsgården. Besides being havocked by shootouts between local gangs, murders being the rule rather than exception, it also

Studien utfördes med anledning av en ökande popularitet av att hålla höns inom tätbebyggt område. Syftet med studien var att ta fram en riskprofil för urban hönshållning. En enkätundersökning genomfördes vid olika myndigheter för att utreda hur hanteringen av ärendena gällande urban hönshållning såg ut samt för att identifiera risker. Riskerna karakteriserades och värderades sedan i en riskanalys.In this study I examine the risks of urban hen keeping in small flocks. The risks were identified through a survey that was posted to different Swedish authorities. Handbooks regarding hen keeping was critically reviewed and a literature study was exerted. The risks were determined to be within four areas of concern. They were animal welfare, environmental protection, health risks and food safety.

In the spring of 2015, five young feminist activists were arrested by the Chinese police for allegedly ‘causing trouble’, which resulted in global attention aimed at this new wave of feminist movement. Youth feminist activism have made their voice heard in China through numerous actions for gender equality since 2012. Not much is known about the new feminist movements and the limited work that exi

Prior to resettlement, refugee children are exposed to stressors that leave them vulnerable to the development of health and psychosocial problems. The nature of these problems has been identified in numerous studies involving refugee children and their parents, yet relatively few studies have been carried out with workers from governmental and voluntary organizations. The primary aim of this stud

Denna studie undersöker förutsättningarna för klimatsmart innovation i Region Skåne. Det finns ambitiösa målsättningar från regionens sida inom området, studien tyder dock på att det finns förbättringsåtgärder kring hur dessa ambitioner verkställs i praktiken. Region Skåne har som uttalad målsättning att vara Europas mest innovativa region 2020 och det är uttalat att klimatsmarta lösningar är etThis study examines the conditions for climate-friendly innovation in Region Skåne. It focuses on small companies within the CleanTech-sector with a total annual turnover below 10 MSEK. A short literary study was conducted about the innovation system for Swedish CleanTech-companies in general. Reading material from Region Skåne was also examined. Five interviews was carried out with representative

Trafikskolemarknaden omsätter varje år miljardbelopp och är en marknad som de flesta av oss får kontakt med under livet. Eleverna är ofta unga och utbildningen hos en trafikskola kan då bli en tung börda för individens ekonomi, samtidigt som körkortet i sig kan vara en merit i jobbsökande. Denna uppsats har syftat till att undersöka tänkbara faktorer som kan förklara prisbildningen på trafikskole

The bicycle has many advantages as means of transport in cities. It contributes to an active lifestyle, saving money compared to driving, causing minimal emissions and reduce congestion problems in cities (Pucher & Buehler, 2008). Many municipalities have had a target to reduce the proportion of car journeys in towns in order to contribute to sustainable development, but few have succeeded (Ar
