Marine protected areas (MPA) have been widely used the recent years, as an alternative to the traditional management tools, in order to increase the yield and the health of a stock. The present study shows how cod population in Öresund would respond under different spatial and temporal MPA and how they will affect the gill-net fisheries in the area. For that reason, a simple model, based on logist

Construction of wind turbines has increased these recent years and is expected to escalate more in the nearest future. The expansion of wind power as an energy source requires specific and comprehensive transport, when production is far away from the installation site. Generally, the development of turbines has gone towards bigger turbines with longer rotor blades. As the blades grow in length, op

The decline suffered by grassland pollinators in the south of Sweden may have great consequences resulting in the loss of important ecosystem services. However, cities may mitigate this effect as parks and other urban green areas can act as refuges for high pollinator diversity. Here I try to assess the status of the butterfly populations in the city of Malmö using as a reference a study carried o

Innovation is gospel today. This also means a surge in popularity for the agents behind innovation; innovators. But who are they, exactly? Anecdotal evidence from both recent times and historical settings tend to emphasize remarkable individuals, who more or less alone created amazing things. By utilizing the SWINNO-database of innovations, this thesis examines how empirically prevalent the narrat

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa hur företag inom dagligvaruhandeln arbetar med att hantera matsvinn. För att uppnå syftet med uppsatsen kommer vi att analysera två av de största dagligvarukedjorna i Sverige. Vårt bidrag inom retail management blir att öka kunskapen och förståelsen om rutiner och ledarskap som påverkar matsvinnshantering. För att uppnå syftet med uppsatsen har vi ställt följande

Online market makers bring together two or more distinct different parties to interact and transact with each other. By doing this, they either reduce search costs, shared transaction costs, or both. Reducing search costs reduces asymmetric information among users and makes sampling of candidates easier. Reducing shared transaction costs means making the transaction more flexible, less costly, and

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om introduktionen av SBO kan ge mer relevant information till institutionella investerare samt om SBO kan minska förväntnings- och informationsgapet mellan institutionella investerare och revisionen. Studien ämnar bidra till debatten kring de nya ändringar av revisionsberättelsen och hur SBO kan bidra till att minska förväntningsgapet samt informationsgapet ut

The global mobile data traffic, as well as the energy consumption, for networks is constantly increasing. For this reason, techniques which can provide higher spectral efficiency while being more energy efficient are needed. Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a technique which can bring these two together and will play an important role in future wireless networks. The most power co

Inversions have the capacity to maintain genetic differentiation between hybridizing populations, which makes them highly interesting targets for understanding the processes of early speciation. In-versions can generate “islands of differentiation”, genomic peaks of heightened divergence, by lower-ing recombination in heterozygotes. Two genetically similar and hybridizing subspecies of the willow

This Master’s thesis investigates the possibility of adding full vendor-specific software loading sequence support to CANoe, in order to provide the possibility of testing the compliance of Electrical Control Units (ECU:s) from several different vendors to the international standard Unified Diagnostic Services ISO14229-1. Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) specifies how diagnostic communication sho

Kan vi förutsäga skånska våtmarkers igenväxningshastighet? Det kan vara svårt att underhålla våtmarker på regional nivå, inte minst eftersom det är såväl kostsamt som tidskrävande att ständigt hålla uppsikt över de våtmarker man ansvarar för. Det vore därför önskvärt att se om man kunde ge en uppskattning på hur lång tid det i snitt tar för en våtmark att växa igen till den grad att den behöver rScanian wetlands were extensively drained in the late 19th and early 20th century, with as little as 10% of historical wetlands remaining today. However, due to an increased understanding of the many important functions served by wetlands in the agricultural landscape, there’s now a strong incentive to restore these systems. In this study, 83 wetlands created as part of Kävlingeåprojektet were vis

Bakgrund: Det finns inte mycket skrivet om hur, när och varför en familjeterapi avslutas. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att öka kunskapen om familjeterapeuters teorier om och praktiska erfarenheter av avslut inom familjeterapi. Metod: Studien baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med tio erfarna och legitimerade familjeterapeuter. Intervjuerna har bearbetats med hjälp av Hayes tematiska analys. Resultat:The aim of this study is to investigate family therapists theories and experiences of termination in family therapy. The study is based on qualitative interviews with ten family therapists. The interviews with ten licensed family therapists have been processed using Hayes thematic analysis. The results from the study shows that termination can vary from case to case, and between different family t

Species extinction rates have during the last centuries reached levels leading scholars to proclaim a sixth mass extinction, even referred to as defining element of the Anthropocene. How humanity relates to nature and biodiversity has thus become part of how we delineate and describe the geological epoch we live in. Sustainability science has since its origins built on a research agenda calling fo

Diffuse reflectance Spectroscopy is a non-invasive and real-time technique used both in research and clinical studies for purposes such as identifying tumors and monitoring their response to therapy. Here, a compact, cost-effective and portable experimental setup is used in order to acquire the diffuse reflectance spectra from tissue-like liquid phantoms. Two fiber optic probes with different sour

In the past century, Sweden has seen vast developments in narrowing the gender earnings gap between men and women. Nevertheless the gap still remains, and has revealed patterns of stagnation in the recent decade. In the presence of a gender earnings gap there is an unequal distribution of economic power between men and women, which may lead to an inefficient resource allocation. Today there is a l

Studien utgår från förekomsten av våld i samhället och våld som ett pedagogiskt problem. Syftet är att undersöka ung-domars och lärares attityder till fenomenet våld för att kunna anpassa preventiva åtgärder därefter. I studien an-vänds en kvalitativ ansats för att kartlägga hur elever och lärare på en skola uppfattar och beskriver våld, dess orsaker och möjligheterna att förebygga det. Datainsaml

With the growing pool of deposited protein structures, the need for structural analysis tools grows. In study of amino acid substitutions the variety of analysis tools is high; nevertheless, there is a lack of programs serving specific purpose, such as identifying if an amino acid substitution would cause a clash in the structure or not, given just the structure of the original protein. In this stAnalysing structural damage caused by changes in proteins In an organism, even only one single change of an amino acid can sometimes lead to disease, if the protein is a part of an important biological function. Because of that, it is important to study those changes and be able to predict if an amino acid substitution would cause harm. There are various ways a substitution can be harmful to a pr

Kriminalvården är värld som många har åsikter om, men samtidigt har få kännedom om vad som verkligen sker däri. Makt förekommer i olika former och därmed är det viktigt att beskriva ur ett inifrånperspektiv hur maktspelet på en anstalt kan se ut. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka om synen på institutionell maktutövning skiljer sig åt mellan gamla och nya kriminalvårdare. Jag har med hjä

The purpose of this thesis was to explore how a newly founded Youth Platform in Colombia, called La Mesa de Juventud, could affect the youth community in promoting and capacitating organizational skills, youth citizenship rights and youth influence in public policy making. The study emanates from the region of northern Cauca situated in the South Western part of Colombia which is an area where you
