To efficiently provide an animal with relevant information, the design of its visual system should reflect the distribution of natural signals and the animal’s tasks. In many behavioural contexts, however, we know comparatively little about the moment-to-moment information-processing challenges animals face in their daily lives.

Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste. Using a user-centered design iteration approach, observing, ideating, prototyping in d

Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.

Only recently has a geographical viewpoint on sustainability transitions opened up the containerized view on transition trajectories. Next to the important step of institutionalising niche logics transforming them into regime rationalities, the multi-scalar perspective reveals that niches, as well as regimes, can also upscale. This means that the socio-technical configuration of the niche or r

Med allt större efterfrågan på tillgänglig data ökar antalet REST API:er markant världen över. Varje REST API har någon form av referensdokumentation, vilket är avgörande för förståelsen samt användandet av ett API. Samtliga API-leverantörer bör således överväga optimering av referensdokumentationens användbarhet för att underlätta inlärning och användning av sin produkt. Denna masteravhandling uWith an increasingly growing demand for accessible data, the amount of REST API:s worldwide is growing. All REST API:s come with some form of reference documentation, which is crucial for the comprehension and usage of the API. Every API provider should therefore consider the usability of their reference documentation, to facilitate the learning and usage of their product. This master's thesi

Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation was to examine if and also how the conservative treatment of proximal humerus f

Because of its large ratio between strength and weight timber is a material very suitable for large span structures. For large spans of more than about 30 m, usually truss structures are adopted. The problem of large span timber truss structures are the expansive and complex nodes that have to be adopted, normally single or multiple slotted-in steel plates in combination with a number of dowel
