En sedimentsekvens bestående av totalt elva borrkärnor togs upp med hjälp av en s.k. ryssborr i dödishålan Skuremålagölen i Skuremåla naturreservat i centrala Blekinge. Från denna sekvens undersöktes gölens senglaciala sediment med hjälp av paleoekologiska och stratigrafiska metoder i syfte att undersöka gölens och områdets utveckling under senglacial tid. Vid analyserna av de senglaciala sedimentWith a Russian chamber corer late glacial sediments were obtained from Skuremålagölen, a kettle hole lake in Skuremåla in the province of Blekinge, southeastern Sweden. The sediments were analysed with respect to pollen content, magnetic susceptibility, loss on ignition and a 14C date. The main aim of the analyses was to interpret the development of Skuremålagölen and its surroundings during the L

The purpose of this study is to generate a deeper understanding of the influence of social environments on individuals’ responsible consumption behavior. Based on between-group and within-group comparisons of data obtained from an online survey, we conducted one-way and factorial ANOVA tests. This study contributes to a better understanding of the variability in responsible consumption behaviors.

Increasing women’s participation in peace processes has been a multilateral goal since the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 in 2000. This bachelor thesis explores the benefits and shortcomings of the implementation of The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 in Rwanda through a case study. The research question has therefore been phrased as following; What are the Benefits an

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the global food system and its existing inadequacies in achieving food security, providing jobs, and ensuring environmental sustainability on various regimes around the world. Through a qualitative thematic-textual analysis, this thesis uses a case study of New York City to identify themes of actor expectations, either explicit or implicit, on how to

Topologioptimering är ett populärt och effektivt verktyg för att hitta smarta designer utformade för att fungera optimalt. Det aktuella forksningsarbetet presenterar en metod för att kunna optimera strukturer som utsätts för varierande laster där det inte är uppenbart var, eller när de högsta spänningarna kommer uppstå. Detta innebär att robusta strukturer smidigt kan genereras som kommer hålla fö

Detta examensarbetet handlar om att forma en hemisfäroid från en platt honeycomb-skiva samtidigt som honeycomb-strukturen bibehålls. Honeycomb-strukturen är ett hexagonalt mönster som kan vara gjord av hexagoner, cirklar eller trianglar. Inom kartografi görs jordens sfäriska yta om till en platt representation i form av en karta. Omvandlingen är omöjlig utan förvrängning eller uppdelning i mindreThis Master thesis is about forming a hemispheroid out of a flat honeycomb while retaining the honeycomb structure through an even spread of deformation. The honeycomb structure is a hexagonal structure which can be made out of hexagons, circles or triangles. In cartography the surface of the earth, a spheroid, must be distorted or cut up in order to create a flat map. In the same way forming of

How does democracy affect income inequality? Most would expect democracy to reduce income inequality. There is a general consensus that indeed democratizations in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth century did decrease income inequality. More recent democratizations, those countries that democratized during the 1970s-1990s, however, do not seem to have had the same effect. The body o

Uttrycket "fastighetspaketeringar" avser ett förfarande där en fastighet inför en kommande försäljning ”förpackas” in i ett helägt dotterbolag vartefter andelarna i dotterbolaget avyttras till en extern köpare. Genom att nyttja olika delar av lagstiftningen kan både säljaren och köparen undvika beskattningskonsekvenser. I förarbetena identifierade lagstiftaren möjligheten att paketera vä“Packaging of properties” (Sw: paketeringar av fastigheter) refers to a procedure frequently used instead of a regular property transfer when a real estate is to be sold. The real estate is first transferred to a newly established and fully owned subsidiary. Later, the shares in the subsidiary are sold to the external buyer. By using different parts of the tax legislation this method can allow bot

HIV/AIDS has been a serious challenge which has plagued the world at large especially Africa. This thesis; The role of the print media in the fight against HIV/AIDS amongst the women of Cameroon; Case of the Cameroon Post newspaper investigates the strategies and techniques that have been used by the Cameroon post newspaper in the fight against HIV/AIDS amongst the women in Cameroon. This work als

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of application of the cluster based rural development approach in Armenia to promote its structural transformation. Case study was selected as a research methodology, and both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Analysis of the key findings from the ‘field’, i.e. - the potential cluster, shows that rural households pract

Popular Abstract in Swedish Pollenanalys, kronologi och paleomagnetism på tre senglaciala lokaler i södra Sverige Senglaciala sjösediment (d.v.s. avsatta under slutet av den senaste istiden) från tre bassänger i södra Sverige, Torreberga i Skåne, Farslycke i Blekinge och Bolmen i Småland, har studerats med avseende på pollensammansättning och paleomagnetism. Åldersbestämning och tidsjämförelser bThree sites, Torreberga in Skåne, Farslycke in Blekinge and Lake Bolmen in Småland, with Late Weichselian lake sediments were studied with respect to pollen analysis and palaeomagnetism. The chronologies are based on pollen stratigraphical correlations, radiocarbon dating and, for two of the sites, on a clay-varve chronology. The stratigraphies were correlated to the GRIP event stratigraphy and th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande organismer behöver kväve för att producera till exempel proteiner och DNA. I jorden förekommer kväve grovt indelat i två huvudformer, organiskt och oorganiskt. Mikroorganismer har förmågan att bryta ner det organiska kvävet till oorganiskt i en process som kallas för mineralisering. Växter tar i stort sett bara upp oorganiskt kväve och är beroende av den miMicroorganisms in forest ecosystems normally recycle nitrogen (N), such that gaseous losses and leaching are limited. Mobilization of organic N, including microbial N, and immobilization of inorganic N, especially NH4+, are the quantitatively most important N transformation processes. Various factors influence their rates, e.g. the amount of carbon and nitrogen, temperature, moisture, and the micr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar robotteknik och de nya möjligheter som den kan ge människor med rörelsehinder. Jag fokuserar på teknikanvändaren och teknikanvändningen, speciellt på vad som gör robothjälpmedel värda att använda. Distinktion görs mellan användvärdhet och användbarhet. Erfarenheter från användning av den rullstolsmonterade robotarmen Manus visar att tekniska kravThis thesis deals with robotics and the new possibilities it offers people with physical disabilities. I focus on the user and the use of the technology and, in particular, on what makes robotic aids worth using - useworthiness as distinguished from usability. User experience of the wheelchair-mounted Manus manipulator shows that robotic arms must meet technical requirements in terms of accelerat
