Time Signatures in Modern Music

In the beginning of the 20th Century with the emergence of a new musical language as the Second Viennese School (Alban Berg, Arnold Schoenberg, and Anton Webern) took over, suddenly music pushed forward and away from traditional harmony, rhythm and even notation.

Does irrigation data matter in life cycle assessments?

Att byta från fossila bränslen till biobränslen är ett vanligt sätt för många verksamheter att bidra till en grön omställning. I takt med att klimatförändringarna förvärras och krav på åtgärder ökar, förväntas efterfrågan på biobränslen öka i Sverige samt andra delar av världen. För att säkra en hållbar omställning, är det viktigt att granska biobränslenas påverkan på miljö och människors hälsa. IBiofuels are seen as a key substitute for fossil fuels and an essential tool for mitigating climate change. A sensitivity analysis was conducted on the AB-LCA (agent-based life cycle assessment) made by Raül López i Losada and his research team. Their AB-LCA assesses the environmental performance of a subsidy that generates an allocation of the arable land in Götalands Södra Slättbygder (GSS) that

Bygga Bo Aspö

Utanför Dalarö i Stockholms skärgård ligger ön Aspö. Det är en två kilometer lång remsa av granit, täckt av ljung och tall. I norr höjer den sig 30 meter över havet och sluttar sedan ner i vattnet i söder. Längst i norr, lutande mot berget, ligger min familjs sommarställe där jag spenderat alla min barndoms somrar. På tomten finns idag fem små stugor, de flesta byggda av min mormors man Anders ell

Noggrannhet av RTK-GPS-positionering av enskilda frön vid precisionssådd

Enligt EU-direktiv måste fler tekniska lösningar introduceras i lantbruket med bakgrund till de ökande miljökrav och ekonomiska påtryckningar i världen. Som svar på detta har redan tekniskt styrda radrensare och styrd besprutning börjat etableras på marknaden. Till skillnad från individuella plantvårdssystem som kamerastyrda radhackor, kan GPS-styrda system identifiera fröpositioner innan uppkomstWith higher demands on farmers to reduce the usage of fertilizers and pes ti cides because of their negative environmental impact, as well as the rising prices of resources required for agriculture, precision agriculture has become a big focus in today’s agriculture research. Individual plant care systems are a big part of precision agriculture, and accurate information about the po si tions of in

Innovation Investments During The COVID-19 Pandemic

The authors of this paper identified a gap in the debate revolving around innovation during a crisis and recognized the importance of exploring whether being highly innovative is universally desirable across all sectors during times of crisis. While previous research has emphasized the positive impact of innovation on performance, it is essential to investigate the negative impact of innovation an

Att bemötas olika

Idag är mer än hälften av svenskarna överviktiga. Samtidigt som övervikten ökar, får vi dagligen information om hur vi bör se ut. Den smala kroppen exemplifieras oftast som idealet och tidigare forskning visar hur tjocka personer stigmatiseras konsekvent. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka detta fenomen genom överviktsopererade kvinnors egna upplevelser av skillnader i bemötandet. Vidare vil

Inskränkning i yttrandefriheten?: En rättssociologisk studie om attityder kring koranbränningar

The aim of this study is to investigate the latest events regarding the burning of the Koran in Sweden.

This study investigates what kind of legal alternatives police have

The ito element: unravelling the thread in kanji

This paper is the first exhaustive investigation of a single kanji component: the ito element. Although, this element generally refers to thread or textile, the study examined this relationship and found a strong relationship to silk, cocoons, and craft—particularly weaving. A surprising find was the connection to dyeing/colour, which might not be obvious to the average student of Japanese. Moreov

Använda DNA från släktforskning för att lösa brott?: En innehållsanalys av nyhetsrapportering om dubbelmordet i Linköping

On the 19 of October 2004 two people in Linköping, Sweden were murdered. Police secured DNA from the perpetrator, however it could not further the investigation since the DNA was not in the police registry. The case remained cold until 2020 when a new method of ancestral DNA was used, referred to as IGG. The method was previously tested in the USA and solved plenty of cold cases. The double homici

Imitation and Protest: Two Case Studies of Depictions of Marriage in Anne Brontë and Olive Schreiner

Literature has long been an effective vehicle for conveying women’s morals and opinions when they have otherwise been ignored and supressed. Fifty years apart, Anne Brontë and Olive Schreiner wrote fiction critical of different aspects of marriage with noticeably different results and conclusions. This project aims to investigate the basis for these differences by using Elaine Showalter’s idea of

Beyond the Green: Exploring how municipalities consider the planning and implementation of nature-based solutions

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining popularity as tools to address societal challenges while providing social, economic, and environmental benefits. Given that NbS is a relatively new concept, there is a lack of guidance on how NbS in urban areas can be adapted to fit their socio-spatial context and provide benefits. This research uses an exploratory comparative case study between Rotterdam,

Sensorless Field-Oriented Control and Position Estimation

This master's thesis investigates the feasibility of implementing field-oriented control for a BLDC motor without relying on a position sensor from a standstill up to 400 rad/s. To achieve this objective, various approaches were used at standstill and high speeds. The high-frequency injection method was used at standstill and lower speeds, while a method based on estimated magnetic flux was ut
