Spatial analysis, playing an essential role in data mining, is applied in a considerable number of fields. It is because of its broad applicability that dealing with the interdisciplinary issues is becoming more prevalent. It aims at exploring the underlying patterns of the data. In this project, we will employ the methodology that we utilize to tackle spatial problems to investigate how the cell
Movements occur among many different organisms and a suggested theory about the pattern of these movements is called the Ideal free distribution. It states that individuals in a complex area with different quality of the habitats will distribute themselves proportionally after resources in the different habitats, so that they can maximize their fitness. Lake Ringsjön is a complex lake, which consi
In the budding yeast, S. cerevisiae, mitochondrial distribution involves movements of the organelle from the mother cell to the bud (anterograde movement) and from the bud to the mother (retrograde movement). Both types of movements require actin cables, dynamic bundles of F-actin filaments, which undergo continuous retrograde flow from the bud into the mother and provide tracks for mitochondrial
The radical right has established themselves as permanent actors in the European party system over the last decade. The determinant factors explaining their increased electoral success have been thoroughly researched. Despite this fact the knowledge of their policy impact is largely unknown. This thesis argues that the local level in Sweden offers unique opportunity to study the policy impact of t
The paper seeks to examine the determinants of Chinese banks' foreign direct investment in EU. Based on the results of a full-scale survey of the Chinese banks which have their branches and subsidiaries in EU, the author draw the conclusion that the Chinese banks direct investment in EU depends significantly on: (1) ownership advantages related to the bank’s size, domestic capital and deposit
This thesis is an attempt to understand the process behind honor killings. This phenomenon has been unknown for most people in Sweden until two Kurdish girls were murdered. Both these girls, Pela and Fadime, were from Kurdistan. This thesis will compare the Swedish and the Kurdish society. The two most important purposes of the thesis are to see how the patriarchy is maintained in Kurdistan in dif
The divide between the two major paradigms within the scientific study of nationalism, modernism and ethnosymbolism, has increased recently. A significant theoretical shift in the study of nationalism, the relational turn, has undermined the analytical treatment of nations as substantial entities and postmodernist scholars drawing from the modernist paradigm and the relational approach have reject
To attain an Internal Market, in which goods, capital and natural and legal persons can move from Member States to Member State, is one of the main aims of the EU. The Treaty of Rome was laid down in order to tear down obstacles that existed and to create bonds between the Member States. The EC Treaty contained the fundamental freedoms, essential in the work towards an Internal Market. In order t
As women are increasingly becoming a part of political life on par with men, their role in politics is charged with diverse beliefs and expectations from all segments of society (constituents, women’s groups, the media). On top of increasing female presence in legislatures, they are expected to represent female constituents’ concerns, be representative of femininity, break gender stereotypes, etc.
In this thesis, the Wideband Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (WSEMA) estimator is introduced. It combines two recently developed techniques, the wideband dictionary and the Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (SEMA) to make for an efficient estimator. WSEMA estimates the parameters of decaying sinusoids, without a priori-information about the number of modes present in the signal. WSEMA works with a
Majorana bound states can be created at the ends of semiconducting nanowires using a combination of proximity-induced superconductivity, spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic eld. By adding a Josephson junction to this nanowire, four Majorana bound states can exist at the same time in the system. In this thesis I aim to examine the impact that the barrier in Josephson junctions has on the energy stat
The European Union (EU) has been criticised for the lack of a social dimension but just recently the Commission proposed a new initiative; the European Pillar of Social Rights. This thesis focuses on civil society and on the different ideas concerning its role in European Social Policy. The study will draw on theories developed from Esping-Andersen’s welfare states models together with theories on
The present thesis is an investigation about the analysis and study of what is the best way to obtain greater savings of heat principally from the reuse of Drain Hot Water (DWH). The study is carried out through the hypothetical application of one of these heat reuse systems and the installation of renewable solar system to reduce the electricity consume in a single-family house of 300 m2 located
Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera hur genus kan göras och ogöras med fokus på kvinnor i relation med alkoholiserade män samt hur det avspeglar och påverkar marginalisering i det litauiska samhället. Undersökningen är avgränsad till en tidsperiod oktober 2016 och oktober 2018 och fokuserar på Litauen. I syfte att hitta relevanta artiklar och kartlägga kontexten i vilken dessa är producerade används
The research is done in order to analyse management of waste beverage containers in Belarus and the effectiveness of policies implemented to address it. The analysis is followed by exploring whether the introduction of deposit-refund system (DRS) would help to address packaging waste issue in Belarus and, if so, what features the DRS should possess to be effective in current context. The study des
Världens sötvattensystemen är sårbara och har upplevt betydande miljöförändringar. Utöver direkt mänsklig påverkan, innebär klimatförändringar ytterligare påfrestningar på våra färskvattenresurser. I denna studie undersöks hur klimatförändringar har påverkat tidsperioden av istäckning i svenska sjöar och vattendrag. Observationer från över 750 sjöar och vattendrag i Sverige har analyserats, med viThe worlds freshwater systems are vulnerable and have experienced significant environmental changes. In addition to direct anthropogenic impacts, climate change poses yet another source of pressure on the freshwater resources. This study investigates climate change impacts on ice cover duration in Swedish lakes and rivers. In situ observations from over 750 lakes and rivers in Sweden were analyzed
