Mykorrhiza motverkar läckage av kväve Tillgången på kväve (N) begränsar tillväxt i nästan alla land-ekosystem. Därför förväntas ekosystem optimeras för att hushålla med denna resurs. Förbränning av fossila bränslen och industriell tillverkning har nyligen fördubblat tillgången på N. Jag har undersökt hur träd ingår partnerskap med svampar för att effektivisera sitt upptag av N, och hur deras relaEctomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) mediate nutrient exchange between trees and soil in coniferous forests. Nitrogen (N) currently limits net primary productivity (NPP) in many terrestrial ecosystems but N deposition may alleviate this limitation, inducing limitation of phosphorous (P) instead. Studies have shown reductions in production of EMF mycelia (EMM) when trees are alleviated limitation of N, unle
The purpose of this study was to examine how personnel working with unaccompanied refugee children at homes for care or residence highlights individualized support in their work, and to analyze opportunities and obstacles within this work. Qualitative interviews were performed with five personnel, from three different homes for care or residence, working with unaccompanied refugee children. The co
Studiens övergripande syfte var att undersöka sambandet mellan anställdas uppfattade organisationskultur och självskattade arbetsengagemang samt psykologiskt kapital, samband med begränsade resultat från tidigare forskning. Uppsatsen ämnar även undersöka vilka kulturtyper som fanns i deltagarnas uppfattade organisationskultur och deras samband till skattningen av arbetsengagemang och psykologiskt
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för medlemmarnas kommunikativa funktioner i ett oetablerat politiskt parti och hur dessa funktioner kan användas i partiets arbete med strategisk kommunikation. Vidare behandlar uppsatsen hur oetablerade partier kan arbeta och ta tillvara på de interna resurserna för att nå sina mål. Uppsatsen grundar sig i en fallstudie av det politiska partietThe aim of this study is to obtain greater understanding of the different functions that members can contribute to an unestablished political party, and how these functions can be seen as assets in the organization’s work with strategic communication. Furthermore, this study investigates how unestablished parties can seize the underlying resources for its purpose to reach the organizational goals.
Social workers within health care approach to their own profession in multi professional teamwork The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine and illuminate how social workers perceive their own professional role, the professions legitimacy and hierarchical position in interdisciplinary collaboration of multi professional teamwork within the hospital. The empirical research is based on f
Kiselalger, vattenlevande, mikroskopiska organismer med kiselskal, används som bioindikatorer för vattenkvalitet eftersom de är artrika och påverkas av sin omgivning. Processen kallas Kiselalgsmetoden och utförs genom en standard, en standard jag valde att analysera. Proven tas från stenar i vattendrag och sedan görs ett preparat som är fixerat på objektglas som kan undersökas i mikroskop genom aDiatoms, water living, microscopic organisms with silicon shells, are used as bioindicators of water quality because they are diverse and influenced by their surroundings. The process is called The Diatom Method and is accomplished through a standard, a standard I have chosen to analyze. The samples are taken from stones in water streams and then a preparation is made to fix the algae on slides t
Den stigberoende drivmedelsindustrin Hur kommer det sig att det finns så många olika biodrivmedel tillgängliga men att inga har slagit igenom stort på marknaden? Denna uppsats undersöker begränsningar och drivkrafter med att införa två biodrivmedel, etanol och dimetyleter, på marknaden. Intervjuer med två stora fordonsföretag samt en litteraturstudie har genomförts. Med dagens utsläpp av växthusThere are a number of existing and new biofuels on the Swedish market. These operate differently and need to be managed in different ways. In order to solve problems associated with the transport sector's large and unsustainable energy consumption and emissions of CO2, it is important to study how biofuels can work in practice and gain a broad knowledge of prerequisites for their mainstream ma
Sorgenfrei-Tornquistzonen har sedan slutet av Paleozoikum undergått upprepade deformationsfaser, både extensiva och kompressiva som resulterat i omfattande blockförkastningar och bassänginversion. Detta har skapat en mycket uppsprucken berggrund som med tiden läkts av olika mineral. Denna studie presenterar en inventering av sprickmineralen i Dalby stenbrott i Skåne, var bergartsprover har samlatsThe Sorgenfrei-Tornquist zone has, since the late Paleozoic, undergone repeted periods of deformation, both extensive and compressive which have resulted in comprehensive block faulting and basin inversion. These factors have created a highly fractured bedrock that has healed of various minerals along the tectonic evolution. This study presents an inventory of fracture minerals in Dalby quarry in
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Canadian government’s stance on addressing the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and to perform an analysis of ongoing violence and asymmetric conflict in Indigenous-Government of Canada relations. The Canadian government’s approach in regards to holding a national inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada w
This bachelor’s thesis has focuses on the internal hierarchies of gender within the gay, male, community. Based on interviews with young gay men in Sweden, I explore the way that we (for I situate myself in the studied field) feel, experience and relate to concepts of masculinity, femininity and desire. From this I conclude that the position of negotiation with hegemonic masculinity is one of prec
Fifteen years after the adoption of UNSCR 1325, the resolution and its effects remains contested. Sweden, a champion of gender equality, was one of the first countries to adopt a National Action Plan and is now leading the push for worldwide implementation of UNSCR 1325. At the front of Sweden’s internationalist efforts is the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). Internally, the SAF acts to be a gender equ
The aim of this paper is to examine how statements about voluntary childlessness are being contrasted to normative ideals of parenting. What constitutes the empirical material is a discussion forum on the Swedish website Familjeliv.se in which members interact with each other over different topics related to family, including voluntary childlessness. By using discourse analysis in two steps I firs
Singapore and Finland, despite having very different approaches to basic education, both perform highly in standardized testing and are respected internationally for their education systems. This paper takes a policy-planning view in analysing what makes these systems tick, looking specifically for similarities in these contrasting systems, or a “different process same outcome” approach. This mean
Jag startade projektet med en öppen frågeställning med avsikt att undersöka väggen ur ett industridesignperspektiv. Väggen skapar rum och en av dess funktioner är att avskärma oss från ljud. Idag ställs det högre krav på akustiken i ett rum då det är allt vanligare med öppna planlösningar. Jag valde att studera olika typer av platser där människor samverkar i en öppen miljö och avgränsade projekte
The ‘superman’ does not simply carry the accustomed drives and strivings of the customary type of man beyond all measures and bounds. Superman is a qualitatively, not quantitatively, different form of existing man. The thing that the superman discards is precisely our boundless, purely quantitative non-stop progress. The superman is poorer, simpler, tenderer and tougher, quieter and more self-sacr
