Är det möjligt att galaxer kan utbyta enorma samlingar stjärnor utan att vi märker det? I detta arbete så undersöker jag huruvida dvärg galaxer kan lämna över globulära stjärnhopar till större spiralgalaxer då de kommer mycket nära, genom så kallade tidvatten-krafter. Dessa globulära stjärnhopar består utav hundra tusentals stjärnor vilka är bundna till varandra genom gravitation. Var de kommer ifThe globular cluster population of large spiral galaxies can be divided into two populations: one population which formed in-situ and one which has been assembled through capture of clusters that have been tidally stripped away from other galaxies during close encounters or mergers. In this work, I focus on the globular cluster MGC1, which is orbiting the M31 galaxy. MGC1 is an extremely isolated

Different ways to prevent that personal data won’t unearth are also included. Action plans and interviews with respective authority of the sample will execute the research q

The movement and distribution of ecologically important herbivores such as elephants are of great significance to conservation biologist seeking to understand the fundamental triggers that influence their mobility and the extent to which these parameters affect how they utilize their immediate and surrounding resources. The recent advancement in animal tracking technology coupled with the availabi

Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka diffusionen av den fjärde industriella revolutionen inom livsmedelsindustrin i södra Sverige. Intresset för begreppet Industri 4.0 har ökat stadigt sedan det infördes av den tyska regeringen 2011. Men diffusionen verkar låg. Om Industri 4.0 är en revolution är införandet av den nya tekniken avgörande för konkurrenskraften. Detta faktum har resulterat i The aim with this thesis is to investigate the diffusion of the fourth industrial revolution in the food manufacturing industry in southern Sweden (FMISS). The interest of the concept Industry 4.0 has increased steadily since the introduction by the German government in 2011. However, the diffusion seems slow. If Industry 4.0 is a revolution, adoption of the new technologies will be crucial for co

This report presents combinatorics studies in the search for a resonance of below 800GeVwhich decay product is a pair of hadronic jets from quarks. The resonance, predicted as a dark matter mediator, has couplings to dark matter particles as well as quarks and gluons. The resonance is created in association with a radiated object that can be either a photon or a jet. In the case of the radiation b

In the field of computational biology, fluorescence microscopy images often constitute the input source of information. The process of binarization of raw images to delineate interesting objects requires image segmentation into signal and background pixels. Several methods to perform image segmentation exist, the Otsu method being a popular unsupervised example. The Otsu method's lack of pro

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to research how Air Canada uses their country-of-origin as part of their identity and branding strategy and to find out how a global customer base perceives it. Air Canada was chosen for the main focus of this research, as the airline is leveraging their Canadian country-of-origin as the primary factor in differentiating themselves in a highly competitive mark

This thesis examines the role of diversifying across different industries in determining equity index returns in contrast to the effect of diversifying across different countries. This research aims at investigating the increasing importance of industry diversification. Furthermore, it examines the optimal portfolio for a US investor when diversifying globally within different industries. For cons

Syftet med och utgångspunkten för denna uppsats var att undersöka gymnasielärares resonemang om urval av skönlitteratur till undervisningen i Svenska 1 och Svenska 2. De två frågeställningar som undersöktes och besvarades handlar dels om vilka didaktiska överväganden som lärare gör i samband med litteratururvalet, dels om hur lärarna uppfattar de delar av svenskämnets styrdokument som rör läsning

Carl Jung, the Swiss psychologist, is best known for his theories of the archetypes, which are universal and archaic images that are nestled deep inside the part of the psyche that Jung coined the ‘collective unconscious.’ These can be found in art, such as literature, and be extracted and analyzed. The hero’s journey, which is a story that has been told since the birth of literature, revolves aro

This research investigates the contribution of local currencies to sustainability. I look at a specific local currency scheme (the Bristol Pound, in Bristol, United Kingdom) through a transitions perspective, employing a Transitions Evaluation Framework, Multi-Level and Multi-Phase Perspectives to conduct my analysis. I use a qualitative triangulation approach to collect data, namely semi-structur

Currently, one can witness a Nanotechnology-hype across different economies and sectors based on its significant potential on the nanoscale. This causes debates about Nanotechnology’s future development and whether it can be characterised as a General Purpose Technology (short: GPT). Nanotechnology as an emerging technology benefits from the nanoscale on which many other sectors work, easing the d

For a long time, Amae has been being considered an emotion culturally unique to Japan and an indigenous concept. However, cross-cultural studies are rare and often contain many limitations. Amae is also often associated with the concept of attachment, but the relationship between the two concepts have yet to be determined. The current study was exploratory and aimed to investigate further cultural

An ASIC solution is studied and designed to solve a possible communication interruption due to power failures of automation servers connected in serial topologies. This installation method is widely employed in industrial Ethernet networks. However, it presents a disadvantage, a failure in a network’s node isolates the following nodes until maintenance repairs it. The solution studied during this

Jämfört med andra himlakroppar i vårt solsystem så finns det få välbevarade nedslagsstrukturer på jorden. Vi vet att jorden har påverkats av nedslag från rymden i lika stor utsträckning som övriga planeter och att dessa nedslag har influerat jordens geologiska och biologiska utveckling. När en krater blivit nederoderad så kvar-står mikroskopiska bevis för att ett nedslag skett på platsen, unika föWell-preserved impact craters are rare on Earth, especially compared to other celestial bodies in our so-lar system. However, we know that the Earth has been part of the same bombardment and that impact cratering has influenced the Earth’s geological and biological history. When the morphological evidence of a former impact event has been eradicated, the identification of shock meta-morphic featur

This thesis examines underlying perceptions in Argentina about European culture, class, and environment. In contemporary Argentina, the population is made up of a majority of European descendants, distinguishing it from other countries in Latin America. Probing into the recent migratory history, identities are remolded in order to emulate development and environmental attitudes similar to those of

The purpose of this research is to determine how social media influencers drive the pre-purchase phase of the consumer’s decision-making process and how these drivers differ in regard to hedonic and utilitarian products. Considering the aim to answer how the pre-purchase phase is driven through social media influencers’, and how the drivers differ for hedonic and utilitarian products, a qualitati

Responsibility and freedom : a study in managing copyright and trademark Avsikten med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka sambandet mellan författare och varumärke. Utifrån Moomin Characters Oy och Saltkråkan AB, vilka förvaltar Tove Janssons respektive Astrid Lindgrens rättigheter, har arbetet identifierat verksamheternas varumärken och mål. Varumärken som skiljer sig mellan verksamhet och förfat

Orden trygghet och studiero återfinns i Skollagen (SFS: 2010:800). Som en elev som inte kände trygghet under min egen skolgång och nu med en ämneslärarutbildning i musik i ryggen har mitt fokus hamnat på lärarens uppgift och möjligheter att skapa trygghet och studiero för elever, och mer specifikt för de elever som jag kommer undervisa i musik. Med den ingången är studiens syfte att undersöka vad The words trygghet and studiero (to feel secure and have peace and quiet to study) can be found in the Swedish education act. During my own school years I was bullied and felt unsafe. I now have a master of education in music and my focus has shifted from a student’s perspective to a teacher’s perspective. With this study I therefore want to focus on how teachers can create a peaceful and secure e
