Assortative mating describes reproductive patterns in which individuals pair based on their phenotypic similarity. Although this has often been explained as a result of mutual mate choice, recent reviews suggest that it may instead arise from indirect ecological mechanisms or methodological biases. Here, I studied a colony of spotless starlings (Sturnus unicolor) to analyse the relationship betwee

Speech has become an increasingly important source of non-invasive information for Parkinson's disease detection, but much existing work still relies on sustained vowels. This thesis investigates whether carefully represented continuous speech can provide added predictive value over a strong sustained-vowel benchmark. Using the NeuroVoz corpus, sustained-vowel recordings were first used to est

Past and present measurements of radionuclide activity concentrations in the seaweed species Fucus spp. on the Swedish west coast have shown significant temporal variation. The current understanding is that marine discharges originating from remote nuclear facilities contribute to the observed activity levels. Initial statistical exploration has been done, but no detailed modelling has been perfor

I detta arbete undersöks möjligheten att införa ett webbaserat alternativ till den nuvarande Qt-baserade gränssnittsdelen i kursen VSMN20, Programutveckling för tekniska tillämpningar, vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Bakgrunden är en tydlig rörelse på programvarumarknaden mot webbaserade och molnbaserade lösningar, och frågan om hur man skulle kunna få in den förändringen i en kurs där studenter arbeThis study evaluates three Python-based frameworks for developing web applications for finite element analysis: Dash, Streamlit, and NiceGUI. The evaluation focused on interactivity, usability, and suitability for inclusion in a course at LTH about software development for technical applications. To compare the frameworks, the final course project was recreated in each of them while keeping the un

Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing (2023) is a romantasy novel with a complex dragon society where dragons’ personalities, tempers and looks vary and affect each other. It is a new work of fiction, the first book in her still unfinished Empyrean series, and thus not many have had the chance to explore and discuss it in a formal capacity. The previous discussion is mainly made up of book reviews, and the

Förtätning av städer med en hög andel hårdgjorda ytor i kombination med klimatförändringarna gör urbana miljöer särskilt sårbara. Hållbar dagvattenhantering kan bidra till att öka klimatresiliensen i städerna, samtidigt som de genererar flera mervärden. Vilket gör de särskilt lämpliga i städerna där tillgången till mark är en begränsad resurs. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att tillvarata på in

Det svenska ränteavdraget är en omdiskuterad skattepolitisk åtgärd som ofta anses bidra till både hög skuldsättning och driva upp bostadspriser, samtidigt som det underlättar för hushåll med svag ekonomi genom minskande boendekostnader. Det finns osäkerheter kring vilka ekonomiska konsekvenser som sker vid avskaffande, särskilt på lokal nivå. Ränteavdraget är ett avdrag som minskar den skatt du b

Brottsbekämpande myndigheter använder sig ibland av okonventionella utredningsmetoder för att tillmötesgå en alltmer komplex brottslighet. Ett exempel på en sådan metod är användningen av provokativa åtgärder, som innefattar hemliga utredningsåtgärder eller brottsprovokationer. Ur ett effektivitetsperspektiv är det obestridligt att tendenser i brottsutvecklingen nödvändiggör mer sofistikerade arbeLaw enforcement authorities occasionally employ unconventional investigative techniques in response to increasingly complex forms of criminality. One such technique is the use of covert and provocative measures, including undercover operations and police incitement. From one standpoint of effectiveness, it is indisputable that developments in criminal activity necessitate increasingly sophisticate

Uppsatsen berör hur bevisvärderingen och resultatet av denna uttrycks i domskälen i avgöranden från kammarrätter och förvaltningsrätten i mål gäl-lande skattetillägg och mervärdesskatt, och vilka konsekvenser detta har för rättssäkerheten för den enskilde. Uppsatsen grundar sig på den senaste tidens kritik mot Skatteverket och skatteprocessen som bland annat Advokatsamfun-det och Rättvis skatteproThis thesis examines how the evaluation, and the results of such assessment, is articulated in the judicial reasonings delivered by the Administrative Courts of Appeal and Administrative Courts in cases regarding tax surcharges and value-added tax, as well as the implications this has for the taxpayer’s legal certainty. This thesis is prompted by recent criticism directed at the Swedish Tax Agency

Short videos featuring transnational marriage content involving African women and Chinese men (African-Chinese Interracial Family videos, hereafter ACIF) have gradually formed a stable content genre on Douyin in China. This generic stability is shaped by platform mechanisms, genre conventions, and accumulated audience expectations. Yet how this genre frames marital relationships and organizes race

This thesis examines how outnovation is enacted within design entrepreneurship, with fashion design entrepreneurship as the empirical context. It analyses how value formed through design practice may contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. Understood as an alternative innovation logic centred on authenticity, nostalgia, simplicity, and sustainability, outnovation offers a counterpoint to

Tvångsvård kan enligt lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga, LVU, beredas barn och unga antingen på grund av miljöfallen i 2 § LVU, eller förutsättningar kopplade till den unges eget beteende i 3 § LVU. Uppsatsen fokuserar på 2 § LVU och syftar till att undersöka vilken rätt barn har att höras och berätta om sina hemförhållanden i mål om tvångsvård enligt 2 § LVU samt hur barnCompulsory care may, under the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act, LVU, be provided to children and young people either due to environmental conditions under Section 2 or factors related to the young person’s own behavior under Section 3. This thesis focuses on Section 2 and examines children’s right to be heard and to describe their home circumstances in such cases, as well as how the

This thesis studies a geometric random graph model on the discrete circle Z/N Z, in which an edge between distinct vertices u and v is present independently with probability p(u, v) = min{cN^{-(1-α)}ρ(u, v)^{-α},1}, 0 < α < 1, where ρ(u, v) is the graph distance. The main focus is on the number of cycles of a fixed length, which provides a natural measure of the deviation from a tree-like structur

Till avtalstypen tillverkningsavtal hör olika avtal om tillverkning av produkter, exempelvis båtar, flygplan, klädesplagg och entreprenader. Avtalen kan klassificeras antingen som tillverkningsköp eller som materiella uppdragsavtal, baserat på vilken part som tillhandahåller materialet för tillverkningen. Det får i sin tur avgörande betydelse för den rättsliga regleringen. Köplagen är direkt tilläManufacturing agreements do not constitute a uniform type of contract in Swedish law. Rather, this category comprises various agreements for the produce of goods, such as boats, aircraft, garments, and construction contracts. These contracts may be classified either as contracts for the sale of goods to be manufactured or as contracts for the supply of services, depending on which party supplies t

Syftet med uppsatsen är att klarlägga hur det allmänna skyndsamhetskravet i 9 § första stycket FL ska tolkas vid IVO:s handläggning av enskildas klagomål på hälso- och sjukvården. Centralt för uppsatsen är spänningen mellan klagomålsärendenas förvaltningsrättsliga form, som medför krav på bland annat skyndsam handläggning med hänsyn till den enskildes intressen, och klagomålsfunktionens syfte inomThe purpose of this thesis is to clarify how the general requirement of prompt handling in the Swedish Administrative Procedure Act (förvaltningslagen) should be interpreted in relation to IVO’s handling of individual complaints regarding health care. Central to the thesis is the tension between the administrative law character of complaint cases, which entails requirements such as prompt handling

The preparatory work for the Discrimination Act claims, only a small proportion of the discrimination cases brought before the Labour Court result in a conviction. Both critics and the DO believe that that same proportion has a background in the Labour Court's assessment and how well the Labour Court justifies its assessment. The critical discussion rarely includes what the judgments actually

Child welfare workers are constantly making critical and potential life-altering decisions regarding children and their families. This study examines how incorporating and understanding families’ local rationality may influence safety assessments and service recommendations conducted during an investigation. Furthermore, this research explores how workers interpret family dynamics and behavi

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an essential role in the biogeochemistry and ecology of surface waters by influencing carbon cycle and microbial respiration. DOC is related to CO2 emissions from inland waters that can be compared to emissions of peatlands and DOC decay is influenced by environmental factors. Traditional methods used to measure DOC decay do not account for environmental factor

Floods account for the majority of disasters caused by natural hazards worldwide, and their frequency and intensity are set to increase further as a result of climate change. To protect people and property, protective measures such as dykes and drainage systems are put in place. However, events that are often overlooked in this context are compound floods, in which several types of flooding occur

Straffansvaret för försök utgör en central del av svensk straffrätt. Enligt 23 kap. 1 § brottsbalken har ansvar för försök traditionellt förutsatt att gärningen inneburit fara för brottets fullbordan eller att sådan fara endast varit utesluten på grund av tillfälliga omständigheter. Genom Högsta domstolens avgörande NJA 2023 s. 393, ”Vapenattrappen”, aktualiserades frågan hur bestämmelsen ska tillCriminal liability for attempts constitutes a central part of Swedish criminal law. According to Chapter 23, Section 1 of the Swedish Penal Code,liability for attempts has traditionally required that the act entailed a danger of the offence being completed, or that such danger was excluded only due to temporary circumstances. Through the Supreme Court’s decision in NJA 2023 p. 393 “The Weapon Repl
