Planerad och genomförd skötsel av naturreservat i Hallands län: Uppfylls reservatens syfte? Skötsel av naturreservatsområden behövs för att bevara de värden som reservatet instiftats för att skydda. Om reservatens skötselplan inte följs kan det leda till att syftet med reservatens instiftande inte uppfylls och att värdena som ska skyddas påverkas negativt. Studien visar att avvikelser från reservThis study aims to evaluate the management of nature reserves in the county of Halland in Sweden, focusing on reserves in which the main form of vegetation is deciduous hardwood forests. The purpose is to evaluate and compare planned management according to nature reserve management plans with current field conditions in order to identify discrepancies and their potential causes, based on a case s

The microbial community in five commercial Pu-erh tea products and one Liu Bao Cha tea were investigated in this study with the aim to search for beneficial live bacteria. Three different treatments were applied for every tea; non-brewed, brewed with and without leaf filtration. The results showed microbial activity in all teas and particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), except in the Liu Bao Cha

The relation between parenthood and market work is an established field of study in demography. This thesis specifically focuses on the relation between parenthood and unemployment, the involuntary absence of work, in a cross sectional study of nine western democracies. The studied countries are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. A sig

Datorseende blir allt bättre, men med dess precision tillkommer en beräkningskostnad. Detta arbete undersöker hur man kan använda svagare men fler datorer, exempelvis kameror, för att implementera dagens kraftfulla algoritmer.This document describes the methods and results of our Master’s Thesis, car- ried out at Axis Communications AB. A central problem with deep neural networks is that they contain a large num- ber of parameters and heavy computations. To cope with this, our idea was to split the network into chunks large enough that they require their own core, yet small enough to not violate our memory constraints.

With increasing competition and noise level in the third sector, Germany’s non-profit organisations have to start considering alternative ways of how to be heard by their target audiences and how to raise funds for their projects. Additionally, with technological developments and the rise of Web 2.0 this becomes particularly challenging. Strategic planning of communication and public relations act

Startups. Why are the odds of surviving the initial stages so low? While the internet revolution has made it easier to start up, for example by democratizing investments through crowdfunding, the rate of success is still daunting. Why? Ultimately, the world is still being built by humans. That means a group effort is required. To realize this, leadership is an undeniably crucial element. Yet, not

The Council Directive 92/50/EEC of 18 June 1992 relating to the coordination of procedures for the award of public service contracts establishes shared rules and procedures for the award of public service contracts within the internal market. The directive defines the public service contract award criteria, contracting authorities are bound to apply. Purpose of this study is to demonstrate how leg

What if you could accomplish order by being lazy? The project is about the balance between order and disorder. Without any extra thought, sorting clothes to create a calm environment for both eye and mind. Häng & Släng is a clothing rack that yields order in the disorder of half-used clothes (not clean but not yet ready for laundry), without demanding effort. The sense of order is achieved by

This project have been about creating an object that helps the user to fall asleep and wake up comfortably. Today a lot of people use their smart phones as their standard alarm clock. It is simple, practical and doesn’t take up much space in the bedroom. However the smart phone is not sufficient to create a pleasant wake-up experience. To achieve a pleasant morning a lot of people instead use Wake

Recently, new spectroscopic techniques have been developed such as photocurrent detected two-dimensional spectroscopy [1], which measure the response from a sample that is excited by a high intensity laser pulses. The responses are linear and nonlinear signals that have very different amplitudes; the linear signal can be from 103 to 105 times larger than the nonlinear signal. These two signals hav

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the difference between Pre-emptive and the Preventive use of force in a low-intensity conflict to which the drone campaign is a critical part of. Northern Pakistan has borne the brunt of the U.S. led drone campaign, and the Obama administration has exponentially increased the number of strikes that continues to target armed non-state entities in the tr

The superconductivity under doping in the famous cuprate compounds is believed to originate in the CuO2 planes. The mediator of pairing is generally accepted to be induced from electronic degrees of freedom. While many mechanisms, such as spin fluctuations, have been proposed throughout the years, little research has been carried out on the role of the retarded attraction due to electronic overscr

Trötta ögon, huvudvärk, för kallt eller för varmt och allmänt lägre prestationsförmåga. Så kan det se ut på ett kontor med dålig ventilation och detta minskar förtjänsten för företaget samtidigt som det för de anställda upplevs påfrestande. Med ett väl dimensionerat, och rätt valt tilluftssystem blir inomhusklimatet avsevärt bättre och de anställda har de bästa förutsättningarna att med glädje preThis study compares the two traditional ventilation methods ; mixed ventilation and displacement ventilation, with a new type of dif fuser which attempts to solve the problem with blockage of the diffuser for the displacement ventilation. This new diffuser called Airshower is a product developed by Airson engineering AB whom is also the company where all simulations and tests for this study were

Customer relation is an important factor in service minded sectors, and providing a flawless support to compliment that service can be an important factor while having customers. This puts support personnel in a crucial role to handle problems that the customer requests, but also see to it that the problems never happen. Telavox, a telecommunications company, supplies various communication service

The stochastic volatility (SV) model is an alternative to GARCH models to model time varying volatility. In this thesis the basic stochastic volatility model and three different estimation methods are described---namely, Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, quasi maximum-likelihood (QML) and generalized method of moments (GMM). To compare these estimation methods a large scale simul

This thesis seeks to examine the effect of food shortages on marital fertility in Malawi for the period of 1987-2009. Malawi provides an interesting case for studying this relationship, since the country has experienced many instances of food shortages in the studied period. The study was done by using the 2004 and 2010 Demographic and Health Survey for Malawi to utilise the retrospective data ava
