Popular science summary Ecosystem seasonality in climate models Climate change has a major effect on the timing, intensity and duration of seasonal events in Earth´s ecosystems. These changes may remain undetected when analyzing them on an annual scale, as current climate models usually do. Therefore it is necessary to investigate the impact of ecosystem seasonality on climate processes to impr
Aim The aim of the thesis is to explore the meaning of the brand within the Knowledge Intensive Business Service (KIBS) sector, through the brand’s construction and management, in order to contribute with insights into the interaction between branding theories and the sector. Theoretical perspective Theories collected and reviewed are focused on three main fields (I) characteristics of the K
The overall goal of this thesis is to examine the effect specific model components, GARCH, EVT and copula, have when examining the possible losses that can occur when holding a portfolio of financial energy contracts within different markets. Daily closing prices of financial monthly forward contracts from 2008-2012 are used in this study. The contracts are in the Nordic and German power markets a
Oroskänslor kan infinna sig när barnet inte mår bra i samband med förlossning. Trots att sådana situationer förekommer, finns det inte mycket forskning om ämnet ur fäders perspektiv. Syftet med studien var att belysa fäders upplevelser när deras barn var i behov av ett akut medicinskt omhändertagande i direkt anslutning till förlossning, i en svensk kontext. Tio intervjuer genomfördes med informan
Issue: The majority of arable land that exists today is already occupied while the population around the world is constantly increasing. New cultivable areas must be explored and developed. Is the construction of greenhouses on existing rooftops in urban environments possible, and how can this benefit a city like Malmö? Purpose: The purpose of this project is to display how a greenhouse may be con
Popular Science Summary Mikroskopiska plastbitar minskar självförsvaret hos rudor I smink, mat och i rengöringsmedel kan man finna mikroskopiska plastbitar. Dessa hamnar i våra vatten eftersom reningssystem inte tar upp dem. De är väldigt små och därför kan de enkelt ta sig in i cellsystem och ta med sig giftiga ämnen. De kan därför vara farliga för fiskar och andra djur i vattnet. Fiskar kan ta
Konceptet SUPPORT strävar efter att hjälpa människor att lättare kunna vila/sova sittandes upp i bilstolen. Med hjälp av stöd som går att dra ut från nackstödet kan huvudet på ett bekvämt sätt lutas mot sidorna och få det stöd som saknas för en bekväm och avslappnad sittställning.
People’s eating habits and how we use the kitchen today has changed extensively over the last few decades. New ways of living and cooking generates a need of rethinking the kitchen and the appliances to better fit the demands and desires of modern living. This concept helps the user include the dishes as an easier part of cooking, and an encouragement to rediscover the health and pleasure of provi
What you see is the result of everything you cannot see As a designer you are expected to design objects. But why do we design these objects and what value do the objects have to their owners and other viewers? Why do humans need to possess objects at all, and how are the objects chosen? Starting this project with poaching in Africa ending up with a 110 kg’s cabinet made out of concrete and ste
Den här uppsatsen beskriver hur verksamhet ser ut på ett servicekontor. Beskrivningen utgår främst från personalens tolkningar och upplevelser av arbetet, arbetsuppgifterna och sin yrkesroll. Fokus ligger på de strukturer som finns i yrkesrollen och inte på de individuella egenskaper som finns hos servicehandläggarna. Jag arbetar själv på ett servicekontor sedan 2 år tillbaka och min utgångspunkt
This thesis is a study of long-term voltage stability in power systems following a severe disturbance. An optimization method for solving the optimal power flow problem is used on power system models. The method tries to optimize the generated active power while fulfilling the requirements from the consumers. Dynamic limitations of the generators are taken into account and an extension of the opt
Background: The ability to hear changes in a sound envelope is called temporal resolution and is assumed to have a key role in binaural speech segmentation. The development of temporal resolu-tion is not fully explored, but studies indicate that it develops into adult-like efficiency at approxi-mately 8-13 years of age, while binaural speech segmentation has an extended development up until approx
Interest in modelling electricity prices has, despite its relatively short history, resulted in widespread types of models that tend to be too intricate to incorporate most price characteristics. This thesis pursues a flexible approach that comprehends stylized facts of electricity prices while it still handles complexity in order to facilitate calibration and forecasting. Although time-varying tr
Popular science summary Reductive evolution in fungi? It has been shown that the super kingdoms of Bacteria and Archaea are under the influence of reductive evolution compared to Eukaryotes. Even if the process of reductive evolution is not the predominant mode of evolution amongst Eukaryotes, since the majority of species are not growth optimized, the process may still be present. It has been
Popular science summary Are drugs only drugs for human being? An experiment to see if some of the anthropogenic pharmaceuticals are toxic contaminants for the aquatic environment. All kinds of pharmaceuticals have been using widely and the amount has been increased significantly during the last few decades. Concerns about the occurrence of pharmaceuticals releasing into different matrixes of th
Problem/bakgrund Att inte våga eller vilja vittna för polis och domstol är ett bekymmer för rättsväsendet, och för samhället i stort. Medias framställning av rädsla om hot, trakasserier och våld mot människor som vittnar, skapar negativa föreställningar och myter hos allmänheten. Syfte och frågeställningar Uppsatsens syfte är att utifrån ett organisatoriskt perspektiv på en geografiskt lokal n
This essay is written in collaboration with the Environment Department in Malmö. The essay is a study in how the recycling of waste caused by visitors at major public events works. These events last for a shorter period of time and usually attract large numbers of visitors, thus large amounts of waste are produced during this short period. Previous investigations show that only a few major events
The importance and future of smallholder farming is controversial, with many scholars advocating for its development in order to eradicate poverty, while few others see small-scale farming as an obstacle for development. Regardless of which theory one supports, solving the smallholders issue is not an overnight project rather a long process. While the future of this group, which represents over 80
