Nowadays, urbanization is expanding over natural habitats, imposing changes on animal communities. Cities provide abundant supplementary food, but its nutritional are different from what birds can find in nature, for instance in the content of fatty acids (FAs). FAs fulfil important physiological functions, being essential in a multitude of processes throughout the life of animals. However, FAs ar

It is well-known that long memory and regime switching in the first moment of a stochastic process are easily confused. But the relation between long memory in the second moment and regime switching in the second moment is less well understood. We perform a simulation study in which we assess the possibility to distinguish the two properties in the case that data with long memory in the second mom

This master’s thesis project report deals with the design of multiplier for the reference signal to the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) used in WLAN application. The reference multiplier designed is based on a newly proposed architecture of dual loop feedback Delay Locked Loop (DLL) in which multiplication is performed within the loops. To lock the DLL, input signal is required to be delayed only for threKamal Kumar Gupta DLL Based Reference Multiplier for the use in a PLL for WLAN applications In modern wireless communication system, a frequency synthesizer/multiplier is one of the main building blocks of the system. For on-chip application, a frequency synthesizer is used as local oscillator (LO) to generate precise frequency from a single base frequency source, usually a crystal oscillator. Th

Till fots är en reflektion över vandringens betydelse för människor, och en vision för hur vandringen som andlig och kontemplativ handling kan introduceras i Malmö. Idag ökar intresset för pilgrimsvandring såväl som för vandring som friluftsaktivitet. Jag utgår ifrån att det ökande intresset är en del av en större rörelse i vårt samhälle: behovet av återhämtande aktiviteter ökar i takt med att s

Sony Mobile has a quite large internal user group with the purpose of investigating the usability of their mobile devices. The Telephony Domain was using among other techniques usability testing to evaluate the usability of their products. The performed conventional usability testing has its limitations e.g. the controlled test environment cannot fully represent real life setting and it’s very exp

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a model for business process improvement that integrates national culture aspects to achieve sustainable performance improvement. Research questions: * How can national culture aspects be combined into a business process management model? * What is the difference between mapping methods? * How do they relate to each other and their intended scope?

Bakgrund: En central del av Axis Communications AB är avdelningen Operations som innefattar de funktioner som arbetar med att tillhandahålla och distribuera Axis produkter. Avdelningen mäter för tillfället prestation genom ett antal indikatorer och mål som mäts för respektive funktion. I dagsläget finns det potential för att utveckla prestationsmätningen då den inte ger någon klar översikt. I taktBackground: A central part of Axis Communications AB is the Operations department, which Axis Operations currently measures performance through a number of indicators or goals that are measured for each function. However, the way performance is measured and presented today does not provide a complete picture and therefore has the potential to be developed further. As the company grows, the need fo

Since the disease was first discovered and defined by the German neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been referred to as one of the most detrimental neuronal disorders of mankind. Up to date, it is one of the major topics of modern neuroscience with no cure yet discovered. The number of people diagnosed with AD is likely to increase in the future if healthcar

För att beskriva det naturliga energiflödet till vattenkraftverken i Argentina har man kalibrerat modellen Scania-HBV. I Argentina är vattenkraftverkens installerade elproduktionskapacitet 11095 MW och står för 36 % av den totala kapaciteten. Det är möjligt att göra vinster i elmarknaden genom att modellera inflödet av energi eftersom man bättre kan förutspå hur mycket energi som är tillgängligt f

Syftet med uppsatsen är att redogöra för hur relationen mellan arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt och skyddet för sjuka arbetstagare ser ut, enligt reglerna i lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS), och hur detta bedöms av Arbetsdomstolen. Vidare undersöks hur relationen ser ut mellan arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt och arbetsmiljöregleringen, gällande ansvaret för den psykosociala arbetsmiljönThis thesis will investigate the relation between the managerial prerogative and the legal protection for employees that are sick and how this is ruled on by the Labour Court - according to the Employment Protection Act. Furthermore, the relation between the managerial prerogative and the work environment legislation regarding the responsibility for the psychosocial environment in the workplace wi

A problem within the mobile instustry today is creating third-party applications. Generally developer teams have to develop the same application for several platforms and each platform uses a specific native language. A result of this is that many applications both look and act similar; but have different code bases and work very differently beneath the surface. This is a double maintenance prob

The aim of this study was to examine how implementation of MI affects the social workers discretion based on the requirements of evidence-based practice and on consideration of user perspective. The study was conducted with seven semi-structured interviews. A theoretical framework including Max Weber´s Ideal types of social action and Michael Lipsky´s Street-level bureaucracy has been used to anal

Uppsatsen problemformulering undersöker hur det visuella språket påverkar, inom det sociala mediet Instagram, personers identitetsuppfattning och interaktion i sociala sammanhang. Jag har undersökt problemställningen genom kvalitativa intervjuer och deltagande observationer av danska informanters bruk av det sociala mediet Instagram. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten vilar på Erving Goffmans begrepp I

In this report a method has been developed that aims to support identification of the need for verification through performance-based design of fire safety for different buildings, i.e. when prescriptive design is not applicable. The method is based on the idea that elements or areas of fire safety that presents specific challenges and problems for the building are those in need of verification th

De senaste åren har antalet sjukskrivningar relaterade till psykisk sjukdom ökat, och en stor del av denna ökning tillskrivs stressproblematik i arbetslivet. Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga behovet av stresshantering på två mindre företag, samt att undersöka sambandet mellan självrapporterad stress och anställdas upplevelse av krav, kontroll, stöd och meningsfullhet. Tanken är att en såd

This study investigated how perceived social support may lead ostracised individuals to be more willing to participate in and recommend extreme action against a political cause. Furthermore, it assessed if rejection sensitivity, populism and social capital moderated this effect, and whether these variables are intercorrelated. The participants were asked to read an article describing the proposal

The result of using a Common Point of Reference framework decision base, to implement implicit information patterns, aimed to support business decisions during the initial phases of change and improvement projects, was examined in this study. Participants (n=30) were asked to solve four different assignments with a decision base as support consisting of fictive change project data from a fictive m
