När vi tittar upp mot natthimlen för att utforska stjärnorna i rymden, så är stjärnspektroskopi ett av de främsta medlen. Med hjälp av den metoden kan vi komma fram till vilka kemiska element en stjärna består av, och eftersom en stjärnas sammansättning i stort sett inte förändras över tiden, därmed få en bild av vilka kemiska element stjärnan bestod av när den föddes. Naturvetenskapliga teorier hA major avenue in the study of the Galaxy is the investigation of stellar populations and Galactic chemical evolution by stellar spectroscopy. Due to the dust obscuration in the line-of-sight, stars in the plane and toward the centre of the Galaxy can only be observed in the near-IR wavelength region. Important questions can thus be addressed by observing stars in the near-IR, a field that is in r

Efterfrågan på nybyggnation och behovet av infrastruktursatsningar är en ständig och stor uppgift som kommuner och andra myndigheter arbetar med. Stora krav ställs på att samhällsplaneringen ska ske utifrån ett långsiktigt hållbart perspektiv. Att intensiva och omfattande regn har blivit allt vanligare på senare tid resulterar i att samhällsplaneringen måste anpassas därefter, och flödesanalyser oThe government and municipalities of Sweden are responsible for the huge task of meeting the need of constructional and infrastructural investments. While planning and managing the land they are required to do so with long term perspectives. As intense and voluminous downpours have become common lately, the city planning and land management have to be adapted to this, which leads to flow analyses

This Master's thesis work was carried out at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering in conjunction with Sydvatten AB, Southern Sweden's drinking water provider and their research division Sweden Water Research.

Få studier har gjorts på hur organisationer kommunicerar kring psykisk ohälsa online. 1177.se, Sveriges samlingsplats på nätet för information och tjänster inom hälsa och vård, har skapat en temasida om psykisk hälsa med anledning att sprida kunskap och förändra attityder kring ämnet. Denna studie ämnar att öka förståMental illness is increasingly common in today's society, and so is the usage of digital media.

With behavioural and electrophysiological data from 24 participants, the goal of the present study was to advance the understanding of memory interference and how it is resolved by cognitive control of memory. Previous work has shown that a retrieval cue can be processed in a goal-directed manner and that beforehand knowing what to expect further can facilitate the processing and thereby reduce in

Furthermore, we were interested in studying the differences in job satisfaction and WFC depending on participants full- and parttime job. The study included male and fe

Hungrig redan två timmar efter frukost? En kalori är inte en kalori. Frukostar med olika komposition påverkar hungerkänslor på olika vis, trots att de innehåller samma mängd energi. Det är inte heller den frukost som du först känner dig mest mätt av som sedan gör att du äter minst till lunch. Denna studie har undersökt fyra frukostar, Ägg & bröd, Ägg & frukt, Yoghurt & müsli och SyThis master thesis aims to examine the effect of isoenergetic but different composed breakfasts on satiety and satiation in a Swedish context. Four isoenergetic breakfasts were composed: egg & bread, egg & fruits, yoghurt & müsli and jam & bread. The breakfasts were composed pairwise where the first two consisted of the same distribution of glycemic carbohydrates, fiber, protein an
