Varje sommar publicerar Jordbruksverket en prognos för hur stora skördarna av tretton viktiga grödor kommer att bli det året. Den låter både bönder och livsmedelsföretag planera sin verksamhet. Därför är det viktigt att prognoserna är så bra som möjligt. Hur stora skördarna blir per odlad hektar (den s.k. hektarskörden) varierar mellan grödor och beror bl.a. på jordmånen och vädret. JordbruksverkeEvery summer the Swedish Department of Agriculture publishes a forecast of the national harvest of 13 key cereal and oilseed crops. The yield of each crop in each region is modeled individually based on weather observations using linear regression and empirically known relationships. This thesis investigates and improves these models. First, the forecasts are replicated along with simulation-based

Alzheimers sjukdom är den vanligaste typen av demenssjukdom. Den har drabbat miljontals människor, men ännu finns det inget sätt att bota sjukdomen. Huvudorsaken till Alzheimers sjukdom tros vara ansamlingar i hjärnan av peptiden amyloid β som självmant kan interagera med andra peptider av sin sort och bilda mycket stabila och organiserade amyloida fibriller. En mängd monomera amyloida β peptider The aggregation of amyloid β in the brain is considered to be the main cause of the currently incurable Alzheimer’s disease. Research investigating fibrils is being conducted continuously. Despite this, there is an incredibly large knowledge gap in what we know about the aggregation process. This study aims to investigate the temperature influence on the Aβ40 aggregation process using differential

Väldigt lite forskning har gjorts om TikTok-användning och uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Denna experimentella studie syftade till att undersöka om TikTok-användning är relaterad till uppmärksamhet mätt både genom självskattning och genom ett prestationsbaserat test, samt om ett kortsiktigt orsakssamband kunde påvisas. Den syftade även till att undersöka sambandet mellan självskattning och prestationstestNot much research has been published on the subject of TikTok use and attentional abilities. This experimental study aimed to investigate whether TikTok use is related to attention, measured with both self-assessment and a performance-based test, as well as whether a short-term causal relationship could be found. The study also aimed to examine the relationship between self-assessment and the perf

This thesis presents an iconographical and comparative study of the “fishing Erotes” motif in Roman mosaics. Previous scholars have overlooked this scene despite its prevalence, and it has not been subjected to a comprehensive investigation. A selection of 15 mosaics from several Mediterranean locations were analyzed using the semiotic model as a theoretical framework and a qualitative approach. T

Uppsatsen ämnar undersöka den svenska asylrättsprocessens förhållande till förbjudna diskretionskrav, förbud som återfinns i svensk och internat-ionell rätt. Detta görs genom ett fokus på rättsfall med förekomst av diskretionsfall samt gällande rätt, utifrån en rättsdogmatisk och rättsanalytisk metod. I Sverige har migration reglerats i egen separat lagstiftning sedan 1914. Som asylsökande har maThis essay aims to examine the relationship between the Swedish asylum process and the absolute prohibition of discretion requirements, prohibitions that are found in Swedish and international law. This is done by focusing on case law where discretion requirements are present and applicable law, using a legal dogmatic and legal analytical method.

Vi står inför en av tidernas största utmaningar - att minska vår miljöpåverkan. I dagens samhälle kommer en allt ökande del av människans miljöpåverkan från överkonsumtion, vilket ger upphov till avfall. Det pågår ett aktivt förändringsarbete i både EU och Sverige som ska minska mängden förpackningsavfall och skapa mer resurser till ett cirkulärt flöde. Från och med 1 januari 2024 infördes även nyPackaging waste is an active environmental problem. There is an ongoing process of change in both the EU and Sweden to reduce the amount of packaging waste and create more resources for a circular flow. Considering this, there are contexts, despite new legislation, where single-use packaging will still be offered. Therefore it becomes significant to understand how the consumer can be influenced in

This project presents a study on the calibration methodologies for OTA testing in CATR chamber, focusing on the frequency span of 18 GHz to 110 GHz. We introduce a single-antenna method, proving it more efficient and accurate than tra- ditional multi-antenna setups. The research also delves into the challenges of high- frequency signal testing in 5G and upcoming 6G communications. These challenges
