A town should be seen as an ongoing process, and its streets, blocks and architecture is to be seen as important actor in the course of events. A building is in many ways an expression of personality and sociality, and each new resident is a major player in its development and appearance. The ongoing process. To u

Satellite data is useful for making inference on large areas, but there are plenty of problems associated with the technology. The observation errors need to be carefully modelled in order to make inference from the data. In addition, the large data-sets involved makes straight-forward computations infeasible. This thesis explores a non-Gaussian noise structure, and implements a modified EM algorit

If the individual characteristics and background of each learner affect their ability to optimally learn the teacher must be flexible and willing to adapt in order to optimally teach. The aim of this study was to observe and document operationalized differentiated English as a second language teaching in one upper secondary school in the southwest of Sweden. The method used was that of an explanat

In the energy sector a transition towards smart grid is now taking place as a step towards a sustainable energy distribution. In addition to many other solutions, this transition will depend upon extended measurements and data management to increase the knowledge about load flows (i.e electricity use) in the network. This thesis will concentrate on data management and statistical analysis of measur

The unpredictable behaviour of financial time series has long been a concern for econometricians, making it difficult to find appropriate models with a satisfactory fit. The Markov regime switching model is a popular approach, much in behalf of the way it takes the shifts in the time series behaviour into account. The model in this thesis is based on a mixture of normal distributions, extended to

In the last couple of decades a strong increase in surface water iron (Fe) concentrations has been observed in the Northern hemisphere. Since Fe in surface waters derives from the soil in the catchment it is important to understand what biogeochemical processes are governing this increase. It has been proposed that reduced atmospheric sulphate deposition increases Fe concentrations in soil solutio

The study is performed with multiple linear regressions of 13 OECD coun

Narratives focusing on People of Color often suffer from neocolonial treatment with narrow focus on race at the expense of character development, working with stereotypical monoliths rather than complex individuals. These types of narratives tend to use Whiteness as a “neutral” reference point. In this thesis, I demonstrate how novelist Junot Díaz crafts The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao around

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

Stereotypa framställningar av manlighet och kvinnlighet är något som länge reproducerats i medierna och inte minst vad gäller reklam. Som ett svar på feministisk kritik har annonsörerna börjat rört sig mot framställningar som ämnar utmana dessa stereotypa föreställningar kring genus. Denna uppsats undersöker framställningen av manlighet och kvinnlighet i två modekedjors reklamkampanjer som ämnar u

Fladdermössen är närmare än vad du tror! Under den varma sommarnatten tar de sig ut för att jaga. Under vintern övernattar de i grottor, träd och i hus. Det är lättare än vad man kan tro att få syn på en fladdermus, om man bara försöker lite och inte glömmer bort att de faktiskt lever så nära oss. Många människor har väldigt dålig kännedom om fladdermöss, trots deras stora betydelse för vår natur
