The modern human being is exposed to different kinds of light during a normal day, both natural light and adjusted lighting. The idea that light affects us is uncontested, and so affecting the light in turn becomes a question of well-being. It is often thought that abundant and strong lighting is good lighting, but this is far from always accurate. Moreover, the light from a regular lightbulb is i
The meaning of sentences is a notoriously tricky beast to nail down. In spite of the ease at which we manage to understand new and unfamiliar expressions every day most of us would be at a loss if asked what that understanding consists in. In contemporary philosophy linguistic meaning is often conceived of as a relation of referring or representing things in either some possible world or the actua
Studies have shown that four years is a milestone when it comes to the development of explicit Theory of Mind (ToM). But recent studies have suggested that it is possible for younger children to show this ability explicitly, given that the test conditions are modified. The aim of this current study was to examine whether a more ecologically valid test setting could increase performance in a false
The Church of Sweden has a long history of social work, and until year 2000 the Church of Sweden was a part of the government. Officially, the divorce between the two has not implied other changes than that each one is now in charge of its own economy. This study was done with a qualitative method in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with three deacons and three social workers. The a
Occupational health and safety management systems are widely used as a systematic approach to managing occupational health and safety in organizations. One important element of which is the development of Standard Operating Procedures to ensure uniform written safety procedures throughout the organization. Such procedures are sometimes restrictive and inadequate to deal with the dynamic and changi
Multiculturalism has had significant successes with promoting mutual cultural acceptance, inclusion and equality of national and cultural minorities in several western states. It is often praised by politicians and governments due to its emphasis on inclusion of minority-groups regardless of any cultural distinctiveness. Yet, such distinctiveness might be more significant for minorities and their
As more renewable and intermittent power sources are incorporated into the grid, the need for energy storage solutions increases. Implementation of hybrid energy storage solutions (HESS) could enhance system flexibility and contribute to the development of renewable energy systems. The purpose of this master thesis project is to investigate the technical and economic viability of different configu
Football, or soccer as the Americans call it, is the world’s most popular sport. Why is that? I believe it has something to do with the simplicity of the game. Compared to a lot of other sports, the only piece of equipment you need to play is a ball. With only a ball, a game of football could be played almost anywhere - in the park, at the beach, against a wall or on the street. One of the reason
Drying clothes is an essential but energy demanding process in modern society. A common way to dry clothes is tumble drying. Electrolux is one of the world leading manufacturers of household appliances and currently is working on a heat pump tumble dryer product. This master thesis is a study of the aerodynamic properties for the internal air flow for the mentioned heat pump tumble dryer. If press
Floods are expected to increase around the world due to climate change, and Scania is especially vulnerable with its elongated coastline and lack of postglacial rebound. Spatial planning has a key role in adapting to these changes and coping with the consequences. This report aims to map out challenges when dealing with flooding in the field of spatial planning in already developed areas and to pr
This study examines attitudes towards Swedish immigration and minority groups in Sweden among social work students and law students at Lund university. Firstly, this study examines if there are similarities and differences in attitudes among the students by using univariate analysis. Secondly, this study examines if there are any correlations between attitudes and the following variables: age, gen
Recent decline in wild pollinators have been reported and studies have found a connection to increasing urbanisation, larger homogenous landscapes and increased pesticide usage. The pollinators are important to preserve for various ecosystem services, such as plant reproduction, however the effects on pollination success has not been thoroughly studied in relation to urbanisation. In this study th
Most studies done on Drosophila are made in labs and focus on genetics, something which has formed a somewhat one-sided field of studies. To counter this bias, this report was based on fieldwork. From a classical ecological aspect, Drosophila populations in southern Scania were investigated in order to put more clinical Drosophila insights in a proper context. According to previous studies, urban
The Internet, which is the most important component of digitalization, has proved to be a useful, but unfortunately economically difficult channel for the news agency. The rapid shift of digitalization in the 21st century has changed the game plan for traditional fashion journalism. Editors have, through various strategies at the best of their ability, adapted to the new market situation and large
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a well-studied olfactory system. A crucial part of the olfactory system is the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). One type of these OSNs, Ab3a, expresses the Odor receptors (ORs) Or22a and Or22b. Or22a is known to play an important role for behaviors like oviposition, but no strong ligand has been found for Or22b. Recent studies have shown that D. melanogas
Applications based on Wireless Sensor Networks are making their way into all kinds of industries. Today, they can do anything from off-loading hospitals by monitoring patients in their homes to regulating production lines in factories. More often than not, they perform some kind of surveillance and tracking. Thus, in most cases the information they carry is sensitive, rendering good encryption sch
This thesis work was performed at Ineda System Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad, India. Pacman is an interrupt controller, designed with the concept of priority based selection of peripherals with 16x8 input interrupt lines. The main objective of this Master Thesis is to upgrade 16x8 interrupt controller and priority resolver to 128x8 input interrupt lines and adding a debug feature for this customised processo
