Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur platstagande ter sig i en jazzensemble på en folkhögskola. Studien har främst ett genusperspektiv men tittar också på andra faktorer som påverkar platstagandet samt lärarens roll i fördelningen av plats. Deltagarna filmades vid två tillfällen: under en lektion samt vid en repetition utan läraren. Filmerna analyserades utifrån ett critical incidents techThe aim of this study is to investigate how the participants in a jazz ensemble at a folk high school [folkhögskola] claim space. The study has primarily a gender perspective but also looks at other factors that affect how the students claim space and also the teacher’s role in the distribution of space. The participants were filmed on two occasions: during a lesson and during a rehearsal without

Operators of complex systems (e.g. modern passenger Commercial Aircrafts) often take decisions in unique situations, which develop rapidly in everyday work. For most situations, they have detailed company policies and procedures at their disposal to help them deal with these events. But do these procedures and policies work exactly as written all the time? And does experience level and type of org

Detta projekt tittar närmre på området runt Östervärn och Entré och är ett förlag på hur området kan utvecklas i framtiden samtidigt som Malmö byggs ihop med Kirseberg. Entré ligger precis i utkanten av Värnhem vid Malmös nordöstra infart, precis i utkanten av vad vi kan kalla den centrala staden. Ett område som står inför drastisk förändring framöver. Det utgör typexempel på delar av staden som i

In this thesis we use a number of common machine learning algorithms to predict crime rates in Swedish municipalities. As predictors we use a mix of municipal socioeconomic variables. For some years we are able to correctly classify up to 85% of the municipalities that have a high crime rate. The highest prediction accuracy rates are obtained from tree and clustering based models. Important factor

This thesis captures the effect of social capital measured as social and institutional trust on a reduction of absolute poverty. The indicators of social capital are captured through the construction of a database of subjective well-being measures. Poverty is indicated using the Watt’s index which measures the mean proportionate poverty gap for those living under the extreme poverty line of $1.90

Är bensin bättre än biobränslen utifrån ett klimatperspektiv? Det frågade sig forskarna bakom två studier 2008 som skapade stor debatt. Sedan dess har debatten fortsatt och den rör beräkningar över de indirekta effekterna på markanvändning vid biobränsleproduktion. Enligt den ena studien ledde de indirekta effekterna från biobränslet till större utsläpp av växthusgaser jämfört med bensin. IndirektSerious questions have been raised about the environmental impacts of biofuels concerning indirect land use change (ILUC) and this concept may also be applied to other products such as bio-based plastics. The purpose of this study is to identify the uncertainties of including ILUC in life-cycle assessments. This study performed a literature review of journal articles examining ILUC. Including ILUC

Research problem: The current research into the performance management of virtual teams is scarce and fragmented. Furthermore, studies that have focused on the performance of virtual teams give limited managerial advice. Research aim: Thus, the focus of this study was to discover what could be learned about virtual teams when viewed through the lenses of existing performance management theories. T

The aim of this thesis is to present some new results on a growth process which was studied in a previous paper (Shcherbakov and Volkov, 2010). The growth process is based on a model from queuing theory, and it is a discrete-time Markov chain. We assume that we have a line of infinitely many particles arriving in our model. Where the particles are arriving sequentially to M sites with predetermine

The failing firm defence is an exception to the underlying philosophy of merger control. When the failing firm defence is applied successfully mergers that have anti-competitive effects are approved, due to the fact that the competitive structure would deteriorate in a similar fashion in the absence of the merger. This thesis examines the Commission´s approach in appraising such mergers under the

HRV är en förkortning av det engelska begreppet ”Heart rate variability” och beräknas med hjälp av data fr˚an ett elektrokardiogram, EKG. Detta mäter elek- triska signaler som skickas ut fr˚an hjärtat. En tydlig sammandragning av hjärtat kallas för puls och det syns tydlig p˚a ett EKG som en ökning i den elektriska signalen. I motsats till pulsen, är det inte själva hjärtslagen som är viktiga när Heart rate variability, commonly abbreviated as HRV, displays the variance between consecutive heartbeats. This variance occurs naturally but can change due to stress and problems with the cardiac system. HRV is therefore widely used for medical research. The goal of this thesis is to correctly classify two HRV signals where one is obtained at a resting state, the warm signal, while the cold signa

The focus of this paper is on the relationship between U.S. interest rates and real GDP per capita growth in emerging markets. The analysis of the paper seeks to determine if the relationship is negative and non-linear in nature as postulated by the paper’s two hypotheses. Three panel data regressions using the same dependent variable, real GDP per capita growth rate, but different explanatory var

Mjölk. Vad ser du framför dig när du läser ordet mjölk? Är det ett glas mjölk till skollunchen som barn, öppna gröna fält med betande kor eller kanske en jordgubbstårta på ett födelsedagskalas? Vilken bild du än får i huvudet så är mjölk för många en naturlig del av uppväxten med minnen som går så långt bak i tiden man kan minnas. Det är först på senare tid som mjölkkonsumtionen har börjat ifrågasSweden has for the last half-century had a very high consumption of dairy products compared to other European countries. This high demand in cow’s milk puts a lot of pressure on the dairy industry which requires a high amount of feed, water and energy to produce dairy products. These factors combined with the rumination that occurs when cows eat is the origin of the release of greenhouse gases (GH

An essential input to monetary policymaking is inflation forecasting, and one important factor regarding inflation forecasting debated by researchers is the use of a global component. This thesis builds upon Ciccarelli and Mojon (2005, 2010) as well as Gillitzer and McCarthy (2019), who investigate the performance of a global component when forecasting domestic inflation. This paper examines the i

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to, from a critical feminist perspective, illustrate and create understanding for how companies use feminism to broadcast commercial messages. Methodology: The study was conducted in the form of a case study. The analysis was made by doing a qualitative content analysis of images and text in order to illustrate the material’s underlying meaning. Theoretical

The Staffordshire hoard was found on 5 July 2009 outside Lichfield, close to Hammerwich. It is one of the biggest hoards that has been found in England. It consists of more than 3000 pieces and has been dated to the Anglo-Saxon period. This bachelor’s thesis in Archaeology examines some of the items in the Staffordshire hoard: two sword pommels, two pyramid- shaped sword fittings, two crosses and

This thesis is an initial attempt to investigate the relationship between premarital pregnancy and women’s career interruption in the Korean context. The case of marriage preceded by pregnancy has increased in South Korea in recent years. Previous studies have focused on the determinants of the premarital conception. However, little research has been done on the relationship between premarital con

Public participation during urban development is key for setting a project up for success and for supporting sustainable growth, but current detailed development plans available in paper-based 2D format are difficult for the public to understand. The literature has shown that the introduction of 3D visualizations can improve citizens’ understanding of a plan proposal; however, moving from static 2
