Popular science The eddy-covariance (EC) method is one of the most important methods to measure gas and energy fluxes between biosphere and atmosphere at ecosystem level. This method was applied above the floor of a boreal forest in Norunda, central Sweden, at 1.5 m height. The objective was to measure the energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from the soil and the understory vegetation to the at

This thesis analyzes the corporate rebalancing behavior of German publicly listed firms subsequent to equity price shocks. The examined period (1990-2012) includes a total sample of 2,154 firm-years. It is found that German firms do not counteract stock induced changes in market-based capital ratios in the short run; whereas managerial rebalancing activity gradually gains importance in the long-te

We study the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence (AdS/CFT correspondence) and investigate in a scalar model how n point functions can be calculated through functional derivatives and how they can be obtained with the use of Witten diagrams instead. We also study a previous anti-de Sitter/quantum chromodynamics (AdS/QCD) model where the mass of the phi meson has not been considere

This paper focuses on the connection between priests in the Church of Sweden and the psychological condition of burnout. There is evidence that shows that as a society goes through major changes there is an increase of burnout-related issues and problems. Personal factors for this state include stress induced by work – or family situations as well as genetics and personality. In Sweden, women are

Företeelsen att handla miljövänliga kläder är mångfacetterad och dynamisk, och det finns en komplexitet och variation bland individernas bakomliggande motiv och perspektiv. För att förstå och förklara den komplexa företeelsen krävs ett tvärvetenskapligt perspektiv som tar hänsyn till flera olika variabler.

This bachelor’s thesis aims to analyze and compare how two contemporary theologians, Roger Haight, S.J. and Ted Peters, understand the genesis of the faith in Jesus’ resurrection and its significance for the Christian understanding of Jesus from Nazareth. In order to fulfill this aim, I have mainly studied Jesus: Symbol of God and Ted Peters’ God – The World’s Future. From this inquiry, I firstly

Under 1900-talet förändrades livsvillkoren för personer med intellektuella funktionsnedsättningar radikalt i Sverige. Från vårdhemmens institutionslika boendeformer, via normaliseringsprocessen och nya lagstiftningar, till de grupp- och servicebostäder vi har idag. Trots den svenska handikappolitikens normaliseringstankar om möjligheten att ”leva som andra” skiljer sig dessa personers vardagsliv f

Denna pilotstudie har en deskriptiv och explorativ ansats med utgångspunkt i kvantitativ data som undersökte huruvida Attachment Script Assessment (ASA) fungerar i en svensk kontext med 23 småbarnsföräldrar, 13 mödrar och tio fäder. Studien undersökte kopplingar mellan anknytning, omvårdnad och föräldrastress samt möjliga könsskillnader. För att mäta omvårdnad användes Caregiving and Attachment InThis pilot study has a descriptive and explorative approach based on quantitative data, exploring whether Attachment Script Assessment (ASA) can be used in a Swedish context, for assessing scripted attachment knowledge in parents of very young children. Based on data from 23 parents of toddlers (13 mothers and ten fathers). We examined links between attachment, caregiving and parenting stress as w

Finding missing people in need of rescue is an important but difficult job for the search and rescue services. They could be looking for someone who is lost at sea or lying hurt in the mountains. The company ResQU has developed a device to help the rescue personnel in their job. It detects the signal from the cell phone of the person searched for and can lead the way there.

Various strategies may be used to promote biodiversity conservation on private land and support conservation at the landscape level. Brazil has had a law that addresses this issue to some extent since 1934. It is called Forest Code (FC), and has been revised twice, in 1965 and 2012. One of the reasons that led to its most recent revision was insufficient compliance among landowners. Another argume

This thesis treats the problem of positioning in WiFi networks and proposes a solution using hidden Markov models and particle lters based on sequential importance sampling with resampling. Hidden Markov models prove to be a powerful framework for this type of problem exhibiting both an intuitive and adaptive model structure. One of the diculties encountered when ltering this model is that it is i
