Mechanistic understanding of piscivore foraging at the individual level is important in order to understand and make predictions of piscivore effects at population and community levels. To understand the mechanisms affecting selection and consumption rates each step in the foraging cycle (search, encounter, active choice, attack, capture, ingestion, digestion) should be studied. In my studies of d
The aim of this dissertation is to study how narratorial commentary is implemented in six of George Eliot's novels ? Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Felix Holt, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda ? as a process for shaping the reader's responses to these texts. Focusing on the ways in which narratorial commentary steers the dynamic relationship between narrator and reader, this investi
Wireline communication is the Internet access technology with the largest number of subscribers worldwide. On physical-layer level, the traditional way to transmit signals at one end of a wire pair and to extract receive signals at the other end is to apply differential-mode signalling: transmit and receive signals correspond to voltage differences between the two wires. Differential-mode signalli
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker adelns slottsbyggande i Skåne under en tid då det svenska samhället genomgick omfattande förändringar. Mellan 1840 och 1900 byggde den skånska adeln i en omfattning som det inte finns historisk motsvarighet till. Slotten moderniserades med historiska förtecken och har ansetts vara ett sätt att kompensera för en förlorad maktposition och befäs
The function of a paper machine is to form the paper sheet and remove the water from the sheet. A modern paper machine is divided into three main parts, the wire section, the press section, and the dryer section. Although the dryer section is only responsible for removing less than 1% of the water volume in the original stock to the head box, this is the part of the paper machine that, by far, con
Environments with a high number of systems that are dependent on each other create complexity in the testing of each system. For a test to perform correctly, every dependency has to be fully functional. If this condition is not met, the test will fail and measures need to be taken into the systems that are causing the problem before it can be repeated again. This is a problem that the test departm
In recent years, the welfare state has found itself unable to combat issues such as unemployment and poverty, forcing an ever-increasing share of the population to face an increasingly precarious existence. In light of this situation, a growing number of activists and academics have begun to embrace a new means for combating such issues, basic income. Basic income represents a radical departure fr
In the summer of 2013, devastating floods caused heavy damage along various streams in central Europe. In the river basin Eferding in Austria, the Danube River reached record water levels and flooded hundreds of homes in the low-lying areas over night. The response of the government to resettle people has been heavily criticized by a local citizen initiative, leading to protests in front of the re
County museums were for a long time one of the main actors in Swedish cultural resource management (CRM) archaeology. In the late 1990s, however, Swedish CRM archaeology faced a new system: a tender-alike procedure. The introduction of competition into CRM archaeology has produced a series of positive, as well as a series of negative, consequences. One effect is that several county museums have ce
Additiv tillverkning (AM), vanligtvis kallad 3D-utskrift, erkänns som en transformativ metod inom modern tillverkning. Tekniken möjliggör framställning av komplexa geometrier med ökad materialeffektivitet, lokaliserad produktion och större designfrihet. Trots dessa fördelar kvarstår utmaningar när det gäller att optimera AM-processer för att säkerställa resurseffektivitet – särskilt i att minska mAdditive Manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, has known as a transformative approach in modern manufacturing. It enables the production of complex geometries with reduced material usage, localized fabrication, and improved design flexibility. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in optimizing AM processes to ensure resource efficiency, particularly in minimizing material
After a brief introduction to the current general milk industry, the emergence of oat milk is presented, as well as shifting trends in milk consumption. This study aims to analyze oat milk precisely. The analysis is done in terms of packaging. Therefore, oat milk packaging and all the packaging elements were analyzed. After a literature review of Consumer Perception, Consumer Motivation, Consume
I syfte att säkerställa den grundläggande rätten till skydd av data samt att motverka fragmenteringen av dataskyddsrätten inom EU infördes den allmänna dataskyddsförordningen, ’GDPR’. För att personuppgiftsbehandling ska vara tillåtet under GDPR, krävs det rättslig grund, exempelvis samtycke. För särskilda behandlingsändamål inom elektronisk kommunikation fastställer ePrivacy-direktivet att enbartAs a means to safeguard the fundamental right to data protection in light of the rapid advancement of use of technology and to address the fragmented implementation of data protection, the GDPR was introduced. For processing of personal data to be lawful under the GDPR, processing must have a legal basis, such as consent. The ePrivacy Directive establishes that consent is the only valid legal basi
Då andelen äldre ökar globalt kommer allt fler personer vara i behov av medicinteknisk utrustning, såsom hygienstolar, för att genomföra olika basala hygienrelaterade aktiviteter. Kommodpannor är vanliga tillbehörsprodukter till hygienstolar som traditionellt har fästs under hygienstolens sitts med hjälp av skenor, en fästmetod som medför hygienproblem samt en klämrisk för vårdtagaren.This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. Arjo’s product offering is largely centered around providing healthier outcomes for individuals with limited mobility and includes products for patient transfer, hygiene, disinfection, etc. One product type which is central to Arjo’s mission is the hygiene chair. This type of product is
Popular Abstract in Swedish Möjligheten att använda tillförlitlighetsteori som ett verktyg för utvärdering av säkerhet och återstående livslängd av skadade konstruktioner har undersökts. Det framkommer att tillgängliga riktlinjer och stödjande dokument är öppna för tolkningar och detta leder till resultat med oacceptabla skillnader. Tolkningar förkommer även vid deterministiska beräkningar men tilA feasibility study of reliability theory as a tool for the assessment of present safety and residual service life of damaged concrete structures has been performed in order to find a transparent methodology for the assessment procedure. It is concluded that the current guidelines are open to interpretation and that the variation in the results obtained regarding the structural safety is too grea
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is a medical procedure effective in the treatment of several different T-cell mediated diseases such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and Graft-versus-Host Disease. During ECP treatment the patient's blood is processed by means of a cell separator to collect leukocytes (leukapheresis), mostly lymphocytes and monocytes, which are then incubated with the photoactiv
The propositions in this chapter are to a large extent drawn from the thesis Metaphors and norms – understanding copyright law in a digital society (Larsson 2011b), however with some important complements, not least concerning the implications of categorisation. The chapter is explorative in bringing findings from cognitive linguistics into the quite common socio-legal task of studying norms. Its
The main purpose of the Thesis work is to conduct an assessment of both the way companies currently account for their waste costs, and of the potential relevancy of engaging in a more comprehensive cost accounting for waste in terms of achieving industrial waste minimisation and cost optimisation. In order to do so, literature about environmental and cost accounting was reviewed, an empirical stud

The alternative dispute resolution (the “ADR”) is an alternative dispute settlement procedure. It pursues the main objective to resolve the disputes arising between the parties to a contract in an amicable way with the aid of independent professionals or so-called neutrals. Nowadays the role of ADR is becoming more and more important, and the number of agreements containing ADR clauses is constant
