In the Subantarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean, a combination of physical forcings, chemical solubility and biological fixation is controlling the carbon uptake and thus the role the Southern Ocean is playing in the remediation of global climate change. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms controlling oceanic carbon budgets and to quantify biological uptake rates to make reliabl

Enorma mängder människor är just nu på flykt i världen. Många av dessa är barn som har kommit till Sverige utan förälder eller annan legal vårdnashavare. Dessa barn är en extra känslig grupp och jag har i detta examensarbete därför valt att designa ett HVB (hem för vård eller boende) för 24 ensamkommande flyktingbarn, på området Möllevången, i centrala Malmö. Jag har ställt mig frågan: Hur arkite

Med globalisering och internationalisering har det blivit allt vanligare för företag att skicka chefer eller andra anställda att jobba utomlands. De som skickas kallas för utstationerade. Vissa utstationerade anställda misslyckades med sina uppdrag eftersom de inte kunde anpassa sig till den nya kulturen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka relationen mellan tid i värdlandet, kulturell intelligen

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

Adolescent sexual and reproductive health is crucial to sustainable development. Regional and national trends emphasise the need to address this issue. Despite national efforts, Mexico continues to have high rates of adolescent birth rates. Insufficient sex education seems to be among the factors contributing to these high rates. According to effective interventions, the integration of Comprehensi

In this study, we have investigated some mechanisms used in nature to protect membranes and other self-assembled biomolecular structures against changes in hydration. One common mechanism used by many living organisms is the accumulation of small polar solutes with low vapor pressure that stabilize the cell membranes in cases of osmotic stress.1 These molecules are known as osmolytes. Among other

This thesis investigates the role of the Human Resource (HR) departments in the success or failure of the Merger or Acquisition (M&A) process. Through M&As, companies aim to gain strategic advantages by obtaining another company’s core competences, buying their biggest competitor or building a stronger organization by merging with another. In contrast of the high quantity of M&As condu

In today’s operating systems, drivers are linked with the kernel where handling pointers and performing memory accesses must be considered with much more care than in application user space. This thesis focuses on two issues. First, memory access to user space must never be done directly, because the access may fault due to insufficient access permissions or unmapped pages. Second, pointers enter

This thesis examines the situation of people living in statelessness by asking 'What is statelessness?' With the aim of contributing to the contemporary understanding of the topic, the text reviews both the resonating theories of Hannah Arendt, as well as original interviews with people living in statelessness today. In accordance with recent critique directed towards the Arendtian school

Klimatförändringen medför att allt mer frekventa och kraftiga skyfall belastar den ständigt växande staden. Urbaniseringen tillsammans med förtätningen av stadsmiljöer har lett till att sådana regn får allt större konsekvenser. Detta beror på den ökade andelen hårdgjorda ytor som hindrar nederbörd från att naturligt infiltrera. Istället bildas större volymer ytavrinning som måste ledas bort för atDue to climate change more extreme precipitation is expected to strike the constantly growing cities around the world. Urbanization along with densification of urban areas magnifies the impact of heavy rainfall. These two processes have increased the amount of hard surfaces that prevent precipitation to naturally infiltrate, and therefore result in larger amount of surface runoff that must be dive

During, for example, search-and-rescue operations at sea, technical equipment like spotlights and thermal cameras are important aids. However, heave and sway affect the ship and make it harder for finding a person in distress. This thesis presents a way of stabilizing a thermal camera by controlling a stepper motor connected to it. Moreover, the thermal camera can only be turned upwards and downwa
