Do European nightjars migrate via Öland in autumn? Bird migration is a common phenomenon of the natural world with at least 4,000 species of birds being regular migrants. Many of those species have to cover long distances from breeding grounds in the northern hemisphere to wintering grounds in the tropics. They often face ecological barriers e.g. deserts or oceans with no food supply. Therefore i

Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab

Nectar Sources in Sand Dunes – the Pollinators’ Last Stronghold Dunes are a habitat of special importance. They preserve a wide range of flowering plant species that has vanished from most places in our intensively used landscape. This is vital for both the survival of the plant species themselves, but also of many insect pollinator species. Pollinators depend on the presence of nectar and pollen

Till följd av de förväntade klimatförändringarna beräknas nederbördsmönstren i Sverige att förändras. Episoder av intensiv och kortvarig nederbörd förväntas öka på flertal ställen i landet, samt att utsträckningen av långvarig nederbörd, som kan pågå under flera dagar, även den, förväntas att öka. Det svenska vägnätet stöter redan idag på problem att möta de förändrade nederbördsmängderna, då vägs

The purpose of this paper is to provide a foundation for modelling train delays as multivariate time series. A pertinent issue with this kind of analysis is that the individual time series do not follow the Gaussian normal distribution. Since the normal distribution constitutes an assumption of classical time series methods, these cannot be applied blindly to the data. The solution explored by the

Sustainability has become a leading concept in development policy and practice. The most recognized definition of sustainable development was coined by the Brundtland Commission in 1987. It provides normative guidelines for a common sustainability agenda and sees responsibility for, and benefits from, this common effort as universal. The agenda addresses stakeholders worldwide and its all-encompas

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis, is to relate the areas of crime theory and supply chain to the transport- and construction industry, by exploring factors that influence the occurrence of theft as well as factors that influence the police reporting tendency in the same industry. The thesis intends to support decision making in the transport- and construction industry. Design/methodology/approa

The global rapid growing urban inhabitants and urbanization promotes a conflict with natural resources conservation, sustainable urban structure establishment, and urban expansion. Urban green space (UGS) plays an essential role in sustainable communities, human health promotion, and economic development, however, is gradually replaced by the basic infrastructures in the context of densification s

Trust has attracted academic attention as the crucial social capital to foster economic development. Especially in analysing today’s knowledge-based economy, the influential role of trust on innovation has been studied by many researchers due to the favourable feature of trust in accelerating knowledge exchange and collaboration in innovation networks. However, the quantitative relationship betwee

Matsvinn är ett stort globalt problem som för närvarande saknar tillräckliga politiska och lagstiftande åtgärder för att förstå och hantera problemet. Skåne län, har ambitiösa och högt satta klimatmål, där minskat kommunalt matsvinn kan vara ett sätt för att uppnå dessa mål. Jag ville bättre förstå vilken forskning som redan existerar, var forskningsbrister ligger och hur matsvinn reduceras i verk

The study of home has historically been approached by numerous academic disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. However, increased international mobility and forced migration due to conflict in recent years has produced a renewed interest to understand the ways we conceptualize and (re)create home in foreign places. The present research aims to produce a theoretical framework that a

Residential segregation is seen as a growing problem within many urban areas today. Segregation is assumed to hamper social integration and the life-chances of disadvantaged as well as creating instability in society. One policy measure to deal with residential segregation is to increase the variation in the housing structure. This is assumed to create a social mix, that in turn will generate posi

Though the diffusion of electric vehicle (EV) is high on the global agenda, and there are efforts to speed up the shift: some countries intend to ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV), and some OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) have announced the goal of electrification, the diffusion of EV is slowly. Technological innovation theory explains that we need to harmonise tec
