Numerical competence can be explained as the ability to make a numerical judgement, from simple assessment of relative amounts in two piles of food to true numerical counting. Hence numerical abilities have been examined in four categories; (I) relative numerousness judgements; ability to discriminate quantities between “more” and “less”. (II) subitizing; the ability to make an accurate judgement

Closely related species often share the same local environment and use similar resources. Local diversity could then be maintained through some frequency-dependent species maintenance mechanism, fulfilling the invasibility criterion. Alternatively, and according to the neutral theory of biodiversity, different species should randomly go extinct over time. Here, I studied two closely related and co

Agricultural systems, specifically in the global South, and the people living of them, are more than others, exposed to changes in the environment around them. Smallholder farmers (that work in agroecological systems), with a low standard of living, are the most vulnerable to short-term shocks and long-term stresses. There have been attempts by development agencies, researchers and local governmen

This thesis focuses on the critical exploration of compositional modality on the film representation of collective memory and imagined nationalism construction in contemporary Chinese context. It aims at a further understanding of the surrounding societal and political contexts in the contribution of nationalism propaganda. Guided by the critical visual methodology proposed by Rose (2016), this re

The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera has dramatically declined through its entire distribution range since the 1900’s. Despite the increasing conservation measures implemented to protect the species, many populations are still endangered. The long-term objective of this research, realized in collaboration with Lund University and the Life Connects project, was to raise the succe

The thesis uses hermeneutical analysis as well as reception and content analysis to interpret a current architectural debate. Within the architectural profession, there is a dogmatic style standard. Since the 1930s, modernism (also known as functionalism) has been the predominating style in architecture. This has led to an open resistance to architectural modernism brought before the public and to

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

När företag använder sig av leverantörer i andra delar av världen kan det inträffa brott mot vad som ofta uppfattas som grundläggande etiska normer. Exempelvis kan det förekomma dåliga arbetsvillkor, barnarbete och miljöförstöring. Eftersom rättssystemen i vissa av dessa länder inte lyckas förebygga dessa kränkningar av bland annat mänskliga rättigheter, placeras ansvaret i stället på företagen. FAs corporations are using suppliers in different parts of the world, crimes against what may be regarded as central ethical norms can occur. As an example, there can be cases of sweated labour, child labour and pollution. As the judicial systems in some countries fail to prevent such crimes against, inter alia, human rights, responsibility is instead placed on the companies. NGO:s, media and the e

Friheten att ingå avtal och skyldigheten att hålla avgivna löften är två fundamentala principer på det obligationsrättsliga området. Dessa rättigheter balanseras av en skyldighet att iaktta och tillvarata medkontrahentens intressen: lojalitetsplikten. Avsikten med denna uppsats är att undersöka en kontraktuell lojalitetshänsyn i den svenska respektive engelska rättsordningen. I den svenska obligatThe freedom of contract and pacta sunt servanda are two fundamental principles within the law of obligations. They are indeed rights, restricted by a duty to (faithfully) recognize and to observe the other party’s interests – a duty of loyalty (lojalitetsplikt). The purpose of this thesis is to compare the contractual duties of loyalty in the Swedish and English legal systems, respectively. The

I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt underrättelseskyldigheten i de nordiska standardavtalen för entreprenad. De fyra avtalen jag har behandlat i min uppsats är AB 04, AB 92, AB 18 samt NS 8405. Uppsatsen syfte är att klargöra underrättelseskyldigheten i de nämnda standardavtalen då de är väldigt omfattande och olika i sin utformning. Mitt andra mål var att klargöra skillnaderna mellan de olika a

Ecological rehabilitation projects - as a form of reforestation interventions - are increasing worldwide and present an opportunity for climate change mitigation and supporting local livelihoods. Implemented in post-conflict situations, they are increasingly promoted as solutions for peace. Aiming at understanding their contributions to sustainability and peacebuilding, I examine proposed rehabili

The purpose of this study was to examine the views on collaboration between the municipality (social services) and the psychiatric health care sector. More specifically its aim was to find out how collaboration currently is described by different representatives within the two organizations and to analyze these findings. The goal of the study was to reach a better understanding of the priorities m

Climate change affects us all through rising sea levels, environmental degradation and rising temperatures. The issue with climate change emerges from the fact that the discharge of carbon dioxide creates negative externalities, which causes the market to reach an inefficient allocation. The European Union has chosen to respond to the problem with a market-based policy and established an emissions

This bachelor thesis deals with the existence and the issues of contemporary slavery. Contemporary slavery is a term that includes the types of slavery that are present in modern society. For the last 20 years the term slavery has been reinvented in different ways and is now used by many large organisations such as the UN and the ILO, however it is not as discussed or acknowledged in most European

Public procurement represents almost 17 % of the EUs gross domestic product (GDP) which is why it is important to understand what unsound strategic bidding (UNSB) is and what the consequences could be if not prevented. Furthermore, it is often bigger companies that are willing to take the risk that comes with utilizing UNSB. If such UNSB is not prevented it will probably distort competition in the

The aim of the thesis is to investigate, from a new institutional theoretical perspective, within which organizational field school libraries are situated through teachers, principals and school librarians’ view of the school library. In year 2010 there was a new Education Act in which, for the first time in Sweden, students’ right to have access to a school library is mandatory. Earlier this was

This study analyzed highly detailed long-term information about occurrence of cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and the fish community composition in lake Krankesjön, southern Sweden. Moreover, cormorant predation with regards to species and size preference were estimated using data from recovered PIT (Passive Integrated Transponders) tags. The results shows that the cormorant population h

Att bevisning av uppsåt är förenat med avsevärda svårigheter får anses allmänt känt och det förhåller sig onekligen så, att dessa är mer omfattande i de fall, varvid följden ännu inte har kommit till stånd. Min ambition har därför varit att ange orsakerna till den besvärliga bevisproblematiken. För att uppnå uppsatsens syfte, besvaras frågorna varför bedömningen därav är komplicerad och hur denna
