Statistisk Analys och Modellering av ”Fuktsinnet”- Insekternas Sjätte Sinne Statistisk analys och modellering av bananflugors rörelse med syftet att undersöka hur de reagerar på fukt. Arbetet visar hur flugors beteende kan undersökas genom att analysera deras rörelse och hur skillnader i beteende kan simuleras med en statistisk modell. Sjätte sinnet finns i verkligheten, men hos insekter. De harAnimals are impacted by the humidity of their surrounding environment, it affects their ability of thermoregulation, water retention and their overall well-being. For small insects the effects of the surrounding humidity is even more important as they have a limited water storage which depletes faster in a drier environment. Some insects such as the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster have develop

När ett barn är sjukt påverkas hela familjen. Syskon löper risk att få mindre uppmärksamhet av sina föräldrar, och att ta på sig ett större ansvar när föräldrarnas fokus behöver inriktas på att hantera vardagen runt barnet som är sjukt. Vi genomförde en systematisk litteraturstudie av vetenskapliga artiklar med kvantitativ ansats, för att undersöka familjeterapeutiska interventioner med fokus på sWhen a child suffers from chronic illness, the whole family becomes affected. When the parents' focus needs to be on managing everyday life around the ill child, siblings are at increased risk of receiving less attention from their parents, and to take on more responsibility. A systematic literature review with a quantitative approach was conducted to investigate family therapeutic interventio

Oleaginous microorganisms provide an opportunity to produce oils without the use of arable land for cultivation of oil-containing plants. Oleaginous microorganisms are also capable of storing products of pharmaceutical interest alongside storing polymers, which could open new opportunities in the bioplastic industry. Oily yeasts have several advantages in comparison to alternatives; their doubling

Wetland and biodiversity loss affect both ecosystem function and human wellbeing. However, it is argued that the incremental rate of farmland abandonment provides opportunities for ecological restoration to help reverse this negative trend. This thesis applies ecosystem service framework and psychological ownership theory to analyse a wetland restoration project in a semi-urban town of Jablonné v

The market of plant based dairy alternatives such as yoghurt alternatives continues to grow as more information on the environmental impact of traditional dairy products become available. The plant-based yoghurt alternatives come with a new set of problems, including longer fermentation times and poor gel structure formation. The aim of the project was to see if fermented yoghurt alternatives coul

The global pandemic of Covid-19 has drastically changed the behaviour of citizens around the world. This research aims to identify actions that ensure low-carbon, inclusive forms of mobility that respond to the behavioural changes during Covid-19. The city of Hamburg, Germany, and its problems with transport-related emissions and socio-economic inequalities serve as a representative case study. Th

Gender-based violence survivors have barriers to access to justice around the globe. However, States are responsible for removing those barriers and ensuring that everyone can access needed services and justice without discrimination regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, disability, or age. Turkey is no exception with its international commitments and domestic laws to

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur migrationsdomstolarna i praktiken avgör huruvida asylsökande uppfyller kraven för att få uppehållstillstånd. Enligt svensk rätt ska varje person som känner välgrundad fruktan för förföljelse på grund av sin sexuella läggning få rätt till asyl. Det är dock den sökande som har bevisbördan för att göra sin flyktingstatus sannolik. I asylmål är ofta den sökanThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how the Migration Courts in practice determine whether an asylum seeker meet the criteria to receive asylum. Every person who feels well- founded fear of persecution due to their sexual orientation has a right to be granted asylum, according to Swedish law. It is however the asylum seeker who bears the burden of proof to make their right to refugee statu

This thesis exists within the debate of sustainable environmental management, examining the potential of rights of nature in overcoming problems caused by the current neoliberal conservation paradigm such as inequalities in power, lack in indigenous inclusion, as well as using contextually inappropriate approaches. In examining this a qualitative comparative case study research design is applied o

In a country with a large historical and current share of emissions, recent climate inaction and political upheaval have disallowed substantial social-environmental reforms from being endorsed. This thesis critically examines the current cycle of contention in the United States by classifying the Sunrise Movement and the Democratic Socialists of America as social movement organizations through the

Since 1950s fossil fuels are the main source of anthropogenic emissions (Friedlingstein et al., 2019) and developing economies with their increasing demand of energy are contributing to global fossil fuel consumption increasingly. Turkey, similarly, has been experiencing an increase of energy demand and have been heavily relied on fossil fuels in consumption patterns. This study employs Fairclough

Overfishing is one of the most serious problems threatening the health of the seas and local coastal communities. Marine Protected Areas with No Fishing Zones are valuable biodiversity conservation tools to ensure the sustainable use of diminishing fish stocks. Nevertheless, to be successful for long-term conservation these areas have to be monitored and rules must be enforced. Using semi-structur

Deep-sea mining (DSM) is an emerging extractive industry often portrayed as part of a sustainable oceanic ‘blue economy’ despite being characterized by profound ecological uncertainty. This thesis critically examines the emergence focusing on the extraction of polymetallic nodules, by developing two arguments. First, it argues that DSM represents the ‘subsumption of nature’ by examining its biophy

Background and objectives Baonaise is a novel plant-based savoury sauce. Baonaise sauce base (BSB) is produced from baobab fruit pulp. Creaming and phase separation were observed in Baonasie from previous studies at the company. In this study, concentration, temperature and type of oil, speed and time of mixing were studied to investigate the factors influencing the physical stability of baobab p

In July 2021, single-use plastics will be banned from the European market, meaning that the plastic straws used with Tetra Pak’s portion packs will no longer be permitted. Therefore, Tetra Pak develops new straws, and it is important to test their functionality, something that previously has been done with panel tests. However, Tetra Pak has requested to aid the development process by minimizing t

Life at a music festival can be both a blessing and a curse. It creates a feeling of escaping reality into euphoric happiness and freedom that only music festivals can bring. But one thing can drastically change this mood and make the living at the festival quite miserable – the weather. Rain as well as too high or low temperatures contribute to this negative change of mood. The festival chosen fo
