Considering the growing pressure on various ecosystems all around the world, the development of ecological indicators for assessing the health and condition of the ecosystems has become an integral part of environmental management and policy making efforts. Such indicators do not only simplify the complex ecosystem processes but can also act as a measure of performance of a conservation policy. Th
We consider the problem of estimating the location of a number of wave-emitting sources, known as the direction of arrival problem. We consider both the two- and three-dimensional case. The method we use works for equally as well as unequally spaced sensors, that are located in (possibly) non-square regions. In the case of wideband signals we show how measurements from multiple frequencies can be
Popular science summary Salinity has been identified as an important factor in governing both growth and distribution of phytoplankton in marine and brackish ecosystems. In my thesis work I investigated the salinity tolerance and growth rate of the cold-water dinoflagellate Scrippsiella aff. hangoei from an Antarctic population. The work was carried out at the Department of Biology at Lund Univer
Entrepreneurs are increasingly called upon to solve many of the social and environmental consequences induced by the conventional food system. However the means and visions driving entrepreneurial actions towards more sustainable food practices are various and influenced by various thought systems. This paper presents an empirical assessment of values driving small scale food entrepreneurs, operat
Sammanfattning Integritet i arbetslivet är, delvis på grund av ny och allt billigare teknik inom området, en högst aktuell fråga idag som skär tvärs igenom alla nivåer i arbetslivet. Hanteringen av personanknuten information ökar och de metoder som används för att samla in och bearbeta personuppgifter förfinas hela tiden. Samtidigt är övervakning i arbetslivet knappast något nytt fenomen. Även deSummary As a result of new and cheaper technology in surveillance, integrity in the workforce is a highly relevant question that cuts through all levels of the workforce. Handling of personal information is increasing, and the methods used to collect and process personal information is constantly refined. Meanwhile surveillance in the workplace is no new phenomenon. Even the very first theorists
Patterns of local adaptation are expected to emerge when selection is spatially heterogeneous and sufficiently strong relative to the action of other evolutionary forces. The observation of local adaptation thus provides important insight into evolutionary processes and the adaptive divergence between populations. The seaweed fly Coelopa frigida exhibits an inversion polymorphism in all population
Tänk dig att en utomjordisk civilisation någon gång i framtiden anländer till Jorden. Utomjordingarna sätter omedelbart igång att observera och studera den mänskliga civilisationen. Det är sannolikt att de relativt omgående skulle upptäcka att de mänskliga individerna var och en har väldigt olika arbetsuppgifter och uppdrag i samhället. Då deras egen kultur är vitt frånskild vår egen har de dock sWe study the effects of macromolecular crowding with interacting crowders in the simple HP-model of protein folding, by performing Monte Carlo simulations of a single flexible HP protein in the presence of folded rigid crowders. In contrast to the well-known stabilization of steric crowders, we find that interacting crowders usually destabilize the test protein, often significantly so. As such, ca
Amadeus IT Group provide revenue management systems for the airline industry. The concept of overbooking has been known and applied within the industry since the middle of the 20th century, thus playing a large role in a revenue management prospect. The passengers booking data is something that could improve the forecasting of the rate at which passengers don’t show up or cancel their respective fl
Den svenska affärsjuridiken har utvecklats under de senaste decennierna. Influenser har med största sannolikhet hämtats från den internationella arenan och det syns en tydlig tendens mot en utveckling i samma riktning som den amerikanska avtalsrätten. Syftet med denna uppsats är att göra en jämförelse mellan det svenska och det amerikanska rättssystemet och att beskriva möjligheter att jämka elle
Studien undersökte huruvida effekter av olika kognitiva snedvridningar (primacy-effekten och recency-effekten) var närvarande vid bedömning av ett CV. Urvalet (N=60) bestod av två grupper där den ena hade tidigare erfarenhet av rekrytering och den andra ingen tidigare erfarenhet. Studien baserades på en internetenkät där respondenterna fick läsa fem korta fiktiva CV. De fick sedan bedöma i hur stoThis quantitative study was conducted to investigate whether effects of cognitive biases (Primacy effect and Recency effect) were present when professional recruiters assessed written job resumes. The respondents (N=60) were divided into two groups, one where the respondent had previous experience with recruitment and the other group with no previous experience. The study was based on an Internet
The purpose of the study was to examine how the district court describes the plaintiff in rape convictions in order to gain a deeper understanding of how the district court reasons about the plaintiff’s credibility. The material used for the study consisted of ten district court verdicts from one bigger and one smaller city in Sweden where the verdict was given in 2015 and 2016. The material was a
Mutationer avslöjar släktskap mellan celler i människa En generell uppfattning är att en människa skulle bestå av ett genom. Egentligen har vi mellan 30-40 triljoner kopior av genomet, distribuerade i varje enskild cell av vår kropp. Genom att studera mutationer som uppkommer när en cell delar sig kan släktskapet mellan celler undersökas. Vi utvecklar en metod för att kunna hitta dessa mutationerTracing cell lineage has not been considered feasible in humans due to the invasive procedures. However, by analysing somatic mutations acquired during cell division it is possible to compare the relationship between cells within an individual. Knowledge about cell lineage relationships can shed light on the origins of new cells. In order to track cell fate in humans, we are developing a method en
Does my belief actually matter in the dialogue with a person of another religion or denomination? Two often occurring themes within Gavin D'Costa's and Paul Knitter's explorations within the realm of theology of religions are dialogue and the possibility to learn from someone with whom I do not share beliefs. The essay at hand studies how D'Costa and Knitter relate to different, Ch
Genom varumärkesdirektivet infördes en öppen definition av ett registrerbart varumärke. Kravet på grafisk återgivning infördes som ett rekvisit i definitionen och var då motiverat eftersom en publikation enbart kunde ske i pappersform. Sedan dess har tekniken tagit stora steg framåt och det finns numera möjlighet för digitallagring och återgivning. Syftet med uppsatsen är att i ett rättssäkerhetsp
Under senmedeltiden och den tidigmoderna tiden ökade den internationella sjöhandeln kraftigt och successivt skedde en förändring i det merkantila handelsbruket: I takt med att resorna blev längre och mer tidskrävande upphörde lastägarna att tillsammans med sitt gods resa med på transportfartygen. Lastägarnas uteblivna närvaro ersattes med enkla transportdokument, ofta benämnda som ”konossement”. KDuring the late middle ages and the early modern times, international trade by sea increased significantly and a gradual change took place in the mercantile trade practice: As the trips became longer, and more time consuming, the merchants (the cargo owners) ceased to travel along with their cargo aboard the ships. The lack of the cargo owner’s presence was replaced by simple transport documents,
