Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a

Enligt EU-direktiv måste fler tekniska lösningar introduceras i lantbruket med bakgrund till de ökande miljökrav och ekonomiska påtryckningar i världen. Som svar på detta har redan tekniskt styrda radrensare och styrd besprutning börjat etableras på marknaden. Till skillnad från individuella plantvårdssystem som kamerastyrda radhackor, kan GPS-styrda system identifiera fröpositioner innan uppkomstWith higher demands on farmers to reduce the usage of fertilizers and pes ti cides because of their negative environmental impact, as well as the rising prices of resources required for agriculture, precision agriculture has become a big focus in today’s agriculture research. Individual plant care systems are a big part of precision agriculture, and accurate information about the po si tions of in

The present thesis explores the wide definition of homelessness and its complexity as a social phenomena. It is a very complex and multidirectional problem linked to individual, interpersonal, and socioeconomic factors. In order to prevent and minimize it and solve the problem in a sustainable, long run, the network of causes and triggering factors have to be found and understood. Often, the exist

Under miljonprogrammet byggdes en stor andel av de lägenheter som bebos idag. Många av de här byggnaderna är nu över 50 år gamla och behöver renoveras. Sverige har även som mål att vara klimatneutrala 2045. För att klara våra energi och miljömål måste de även tilläggs isoleras och energieffektiviseras. Problemet är att en stor del av de här byggnaderna är hyresrätter med stor andel låginkomsttagarA large portion of the Swedish apartments that are lived in today were built under the million program. Many of these buildings are now over 50 years old and need renovation. Sweden also aims to be climate-neutral by 2045. In order to meet our energy and environmental goals, the buildings must also be made more energy efficient. The problem is that a large part of these buildings are rental proper

Av allt att döma kommer klimatet i världen och Sverige att bli varmare under överskådlig framtid, med konsekvenser som till stor del inte upplevts tidigare i nordliga länder. Mer intensiva och längre värmeböljor kommer att bli ett vanligare fenomen, och med det behöver svenska kommuner vara förberedda för effekterna. I och med att kommunerna ansvarar för mycket av den byggda miljön och informationBy all accounts, the global climate as well as the Swedish climate will become warmer for the foreseeable future, with consequences that have largely not been experienced before in northern countries. More intense and longer heat waves will become a more common phenomenon, and with that, Swedish municipalities need to be prepared for the effects. As municipalities are responsible for much of the b

Virus är icke levande organismer som infekterar levande celler och förökar sig med hjälp av cellernas maskineri. De kan infektera alla typer av liv och de är totalt beroende av en värdcell. Alla virus innehåller genetiskt material samt en så kallad viruskapsid. Denna kapsid kan ha olika struktur och består av identiska proteinenheter. Kapsidens uppgift är att skydda det genetiska materialet. DettaAll viruses are composed of both genetic material and a capsid. The capsid is composed by identical protein subunits and the purpose is protection of the genetic material, in this case RNA. This project is about cowpea chlorotic mottle virus, also called CCMV, which is a plant virus and the disassembly and reassembly mechanisms of the capsid are investigated to understand how the capsid proteins a

The harvest mouse Micromys minutus has, through nest findings, been documented to live in wetlands in tall sedges and grasses in Central Europe. However, there is very little information on the type of habitat this species uses outside of nesting, because this rodent is difficult to capture in ordinary trapping set-ups. In France and Switzerland, the harvest mouse populations have decreased strong

Size doesn't always matter - Especially when it comes to the brain of a Butterfly or a Moth Surely, we have have all seen those cartoons, where the smart scientist have a ridiculously big brain, “the bigger the better” as the saying goes. Well this is not always the case, brain tissue is actually one of the bodies biggest energy consumer, so if you are not using every bit of that brain, it w

Barnäktenskap är ett fenomen som är vanligt förekommande i stora delar av världen. År 2004 infördes lagbestämmelser om att utländska barnäktenskap inte ska erkännas i Sverige om minst en av parterna haft anknytning till Sverige. För att stärka skyddet mot barnäktenskap skärptes lagen ytterligare år 2014. Under år 2018 lade regeringen fram ett förslag till ny lag om att förbjuda erkännandet av utläChild marriage is a phenomenon existing in many parts of the world. In 2004 a new law came into force stating that Sweden does not recognize foreign child marriages if at least one of the parts has ties to Sweden. In order to achieve an increased protection against child marriage the legislation was further strengthened in 2014. In 2018 the Swedish government presented a proposition to a new law f

The aim of this study is to examine how social workers in child welfare identify and reflect on stress in order to research to what extent social workers understand and use empathy in their professional role. The aim was also to examine the extent to which these social workers have developed an understanding of secondary traumatic stress, a particular type of stress where empathy is identified as

With a growing number of sensors collecting information about systems in indus- try and infrastructure, one wants to extract useful information from this data. The goal of this project is to investigate the applicability of Echo State Net- work techniques to time-varying classification of multivariate time series from primarily mechanical and electrical systems. Two relevant technical problems are

Bygg kabelkonstruktioner i trä! I dagens samhälle blir det allt viktigare med hållbara lösningar för att lyckas bromsa den globala uppvärmningen. Stål och betong står båda för stora klimatutsläpp och har efter industrialiseringen varit det dominerande valet av material för stora byggnader. Ett alternativt, hållbart material som lyfts fram att kunna vara framtidens material är trä. Ett exempel på eIn the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. Suspension structures is one type of structural solution that has high material efficiency, here the bending stiff properties of timber could also be utilized in order to increase the s

I dagens marknadsföring ser vi då och då hur organisationer använder sociala rörelser. Detta fenomen skapar oftast funderingar bland målgruppen huruvida organisationen verkligen bryr sig om rörelsen och anspelar på den för att aktivt ta ställning i frågan, eller för att kapitalisera på den sociala rörelsen. Genom denna studie ville vi fortsatt undersöka hur målgruppen upplever varumärken som genomIn today’s marketing, we now and then see organizations using socio-political movements. This phenomenon often creates questions amongst its audience whether the organization genuinely cares about the movement, or whether it is just an easy way to capitalize on the movement. In this study, we wanted to examine further how the audience perceives brands, which marketing alludes on social movements,

Sammanställningen av resultatet visade att Bäljane å har en relativt god status med undantag för mängden organiskt material samt att ån är starkt färgad och starkt grumlat. Lakvattnet visade däremot innehålla signifikant högre halter, i förhållande till Bäljane ås resultat, för alla undersökta parametrar.
