Body size is one of the most important traits of zooplankton. It affects their metabolism, life history and ecology and can eventually influence community and ecosystem processes. Higher and more fluctuating temperatures due to climate change are expected to have an influence on zooplankton size. Based on general empirical evidence, warmer temperatures may lead to smaller zooplankton, while temper

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida mentorskap har möjlighet att innebära ökad medvetenhet om exkludering baserat på etnicitet samt ifall mentorskap har möjlighet att påverka denna exkludering. Studien visar att mentorskap har möjlighet att erbjuda kunskap och förståelse för mentorerna även inom arbetet för att bryta exkludering trots komplexiteten vilket innebär att mentorskap är ett v

This thesis investigates the structure of the entrepreneurship support in the region, with the aim to discover whether a system of entrepreneurship

Företagsorganisationer tvingas till förändringar på grund av olika drivkrafter medan medarbetarna ofta tar ställning mot förändringar. Förändringar där företaget lägger större delen av sitt fokus på att tillfredsställa de externa utmaningarna. Dessa förändringar kan öka belastningen på de anställda (internt), som leder till försämrade relationer mellan ledningen och de anställda. Medarbetare upple

Abstract Introduction: Understanding customer satisfaction is a central objective of organiza- tions. Besides, satisfaction is an indicator of how customers perceive the quality of an offered product or service. Relating to the literature, the customer satisfaction of interna- tional students has become increasingly important for higher educational institutions in recent years due to globalization

Norra Djurgårdsstaden är ett stadsutvecklingsområde i nordöstra Stockholm och har delvis marksanerats ned till grundvattennivån. De föroreningar som förekommit är polycykliska aromater, cyanider, tungmetaller och BTEX. 2003 inleddes en omfattande markundersökning varpå man hittade höga halter bensen i ett av grundvattenrören. Undersökningen följdes upp med ett in-situ försök att avlägsna föroreninNorra Djurgårdsstaden is an urban area in northeastern Stockholm and has been soil remediated down to the water table. The contamination in the area includes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), cyanide, heavy metals and BTEX. In 2003 an extensive environmental assessment initiated after which they found high levels of benzene in one of the groundwater monitoring wells. The benzene contaminatio

As Basel III is being implemented a new regulation framework for capital requirement is being developed called the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book. The major change is the change of risk measure, going from Value at Risk to Expected Shortfall. The effect of the new regulations for general interest rate risk (GIRR) is investigated both on a total capital requirement level and decomposed onto

En fastighetsaffär är för de allra flesta en stor affär, kanske den allra största man gör i sitt liv, och konsekvenserna kan därför också bli stora, både för köpare och säljare. En av frågeställningarna vid ett köp är ansvarsfördelningen mellan köpare och säljare och det finns många rättsfall genom åren där köparens undersökningsplikt vid köp av fast egendom prövas i svenska domstolar. Enligt JordA property transaction is for most people an important deal, and the impact can therefore also be great, both for buyers and sellers. One of the issues of a purchase is the division of responsibilities for errors between the buyer and the seller, and there are many court cases over the years where the buyer's duty to investigate the purchase of property is tried in Swedish courts. According to

Automatic brake functions in trucks and cars can save lives but may heat the brakes to dangerous temperature levels. Various types of models for temperature estimation in a disc brake have been evaluated. A homogeneous temperature inside the disc was assumed and this simplification gave adequate modeling results. The implementation was done in Simulink. One model estimated the heat generation base

Många olika slags organisationer tillämpar idag arbetsgivarmärkning, exempelvis svenska kommuner. Trots det finns det få studier som undersöker deras tillämpning av arbetsgivarmärkning. Arbetsgivarmärkning riktar sin kommunikation till blivande och befintliga medarbetare. Trots det är både det kommunikativa perspektivet samt medarbetarpespektivet understuderat. Vår studie undersöker hur nyanställdToday, employer branding is applied by many types of organizations to involve employees in the organisation’s brand process. However, there are few studies that examine the public sector, where application is common. There are also few studies that have an employee perspective on branding. Our study shows how new employees are experiencing a municipality’s employer value proposition and how employ

There are over 1.5 million Android applications on the market available today. This makes it important for the developers to know their customers. Knowing what their customers want from the application will grant the developers insight in what features they should implement. This report will present different methods of finding users and their behaviors in a certain application. The users' beh

Quality is one of the most important factors when it comes to consumers’ purchase decisions. Food products are expected to fulfill certain expectations and their quality must stay stable and consistent throughout the shelf life. To constantly sustain and improve the quality of their products is thus the ambition of the food industry and was the concern of this project. The influence of a changed h

Studies of the Milky Way including how it formed and evolved through time are the key to understanding how other galaxies behave. The Milky Way is the most convenient galaxy to study, because the close proximity of stars means astronomers can collect precise spectral and dynamical data from individual stars. By combining the chemical and dynamical aspects, it is possible to pinpoint stars which ha
