Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a

Adaptation of modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and multispectral sensor technology in agriculture can enhance the capacity to accurately monitor crops. But these technologies come with its own set of challenges. The major challenge is the understanding of radiometric distortions, which is particularly important while comparing data over different lighting conditions. The study developed and as

Studiens syfte var att undersöka en eventuell diskrepans i självskattningar rörande personlighet och beteende och social önskvärdhets förklaring på diskrepansens förekomst. Tidigare forskning på ämnet tenderar att fokusera på kamratskattningar för att sedan jämföra dessa med individens egen skattning för således komma till en konklusion om individens faktiska personlighet. I vår studie valde vi atThe purpose of this thesis was to examine the possible discrepancy in self-reported personality and behaviour along with exploring which factors might affect the occurrence of the discrepancy. Previous research on the matter tends to focus on peer reports of the individual which is then compared with the individual’s own report in order to reach a conclusion about what personality traits the indiv

Bakgrund: Dyspné är ett symtom hos lungcancerpatienter och att uppleva dyspné är mycket påfrestande, oavsett intensitet. Det ingår i sjuksköterskans profession att i samråd med patienten identifiera individuell hälsa och ge patienten förutsättningar för att kunna uppnå hälsa på bästa sätt. Trots att medicinering förbättrats de senaste åren ses ingen förbättring patienters symtombörda vid dyspné. S

This study identifies the frames used in the representation of refugees by three major Spanish newspapers: ABC, El País and El Mundo. Using directed content analysis guided by predefined frames and summative content analysis, frames are ranked according to their presence in newspaper articles.

In the 1970s linguists started studying genderlects, the linguistic differences related to gender and its power dimensions. Studies conducted by Scandinavian researchers have shown that boys and men speak more and are more dominant in public spaces such as the classroom and political debates (Einarsson & Hultman 1984, Gomard & Krogstad 2001). One of the most prominent researchers in the fi

Around the world the rise of populist and anti-globalization forces can be seen. In Sweden this movement is prevalent as well, as the populist party the Sweden Democrats is experiencing a substantial increase in support. The reason for this is a widely debated subject amongst scholars. One potential explanation for the rise of populism could be the increased imports from China in recent years. Pre

How sustainable development (SD) is envisioned, practiced and financed is a crucial question today. In Denmark, the former government introduced private sector-driven development (PSDD) at the heart of Danish development cooperation. In this thesis, I seek to understand how the Danish development community (represented in this study by four large civil society NGOs) have positioned themselves to t

One of the main arguments in favor of implementing the euro, or any other common currency for that matter is the expected gains from increased trade flows. This paper aims to examine whether such increased trade occurs from the implementation of a common currency. More
