I denna uppsats undersöks hur musiker upplever de förändringar som skett i musikbranschen de senaste tio åren till följd av den tekniska utvecklingen i form av bland annat gratisteknologier, exempelvis Spotify och Myspace, samt fildelning. I undersökningen har kvalitativa metoder i form av intervjuer använts. Vi har utgått från ett antal teoretiska begrepp som exempelvis medielogik, mediekonvergen
Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera och analysera hur en räntehöjning respektive -sänkning påverkar aktiekursen samt om det föreligger någon skillnad mellan olika branscher och soliditetsnivåer. Vi har genomfört en kvantitativ studie, en händelsestudie, av totalt 60 svenska företag fördelade på sex olika branscher, alla noterade på Stockholmsbörsen. Vi har beräknat den onormala avkastningen för al
Har kvinnliga ledamöter i Sveriges riksdag någon påverkan på att den politik som förs blir mer fördelaktig för kvinnor i samhället? För att svara på den frågan har vi valt att applicera två teorier, teorin om kritiska massa och representationsteorin, på ändringarna i abortlagstiftningen och resulterande motioner från riksdagens ledamöter. Av de förändringar som skett har tre år varit viktiga för o
Voice problems are common among workers in occupations with high demands on oral communication. For sustaining vocal health, it is important to find efficient ways for how to reduce strain on the voice at work, and one way to do so is optimizing the room acoustics for communication. However, to date we do not know enough about what kind of room acoustic conditions that support voice and speech mos
Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fjärranalys av skogsskövling längs med den trans-amzoniska motorvägen Skogsskövling är ett av de större miljöproblemen vi har idag. Speciellt snabb har skövlingen varit i Amazonas regnskog, där minst tjugo procent försvunnit de senaste 40 åren. Fjärranalys används för att uppskatta skogsskövling längs med den transamazoniska motorvägen (BR230). Analysen utDeforestation is one of the biggest environmental challenges today. Especially severe has the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest been where at least 20% has been cleared the last 40 years. A time series analysis of deforestation rates between 1984 and 2013 has been performed on several sites close to the Trans-Amazonian highway BR230 in the Amazon and Para states. This is done by applying a su
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is an endemic vector-borne disease in the Middle East and a worldwide public health problem. The spread of CL is highly associated with the socio-ecological interactions of vectors, hosts and the environment. The heterogeneity of these interactions has hindered CL modeling for healthcare preventive measures in endemic areas. In this study, an agent-based model (ABM) is
I denna uppsats har en ekonometrisk analys utförts för att undersöka räntans effekt på konsumtionen i Sverige mellan åren 1995-2016. En del av fokusen har legat på de låga räntenivåerna sedan 2009 och den rådande negativa reporäntan. I modellen har även ytterligare makroekonomiska variabler inkluderats för att undersöka vad som har en märkbar effekt på konsumtionen. Enligt resultat har variablerna
Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka förekomsten av pares på n. laryngeus superior hos patienter som genomgått en thyroidektomi. Studien syftade även till att undersöka om en dylik pares kan upptäckas vid flera olika pre- och postoperativa undersökningsmetoder samt hur patienterna upplever sin röst före och efter operation. Metod: I studien ingick 20 deltagare. Samtliga deltagare genomförde
In this study, we have analyzed the spatial and temporal correlation between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the climate in Iraq, with a focus on precipitation, temperature, and number of Mediterranean cyclones. It was found that the influence of the NAO varies per climate indicator. For example, the influence is greater on precipitation than on temperature. One conclusion of the study is
Many studies have found close relationships between accessibility and various socio-economic indicators. Yet, since accessibility tends to have differentiated effects, both socially and spatially, there is a need for a model which allows for a disaggregated analysis of accessibility. The model should be possible to use in areas where road network data is incomplete. In this paper such an accessibi
The destruction of land and forced migration during the Anfal attacks against the Kurds in Iraq in the late 1980s has been reported to have severe consequences for agricultural development. A reconstruction program to aid people in returning to their lands was launched in 1991. To assess the agricultural situation in the Duhok governorate during the pre-Anfal (A), post-Anfal (B), reconstruction (C
Background: The WHO and the World Bank ask countries to report the national volume of surgery. This report describes these data for Sweden, a high-income country. Methods: In an 8-year population-based observational cohort study, all inpatient and outpatient care in the public and private sectors was detected in the Swedish National Patient Register and screened for the occurrence of surgery. The
Rhombomys opimus (R. opimus), a social rodent, is the main reservoir host for zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) in most parts of the Middle East and central Asia. The difficulties in monitoring rodent population patterns have hindered the effective application of preventive measures of ZCL. This study presents a spatially explicit agent-based simulation model of R. opimus behaviors that is in
A major problem in CTG analysis is that detectionof a suspicious pattern in short intervals so that one can reducethe damage caused by a delay of an automatic monitoringsystem. In this paper, we aim for improving intrapartumsurveillance based on signal processing and machine learningtechniques. We evaluate a classification method on a real dataset.
Nanowires (NWs) have unique electrical and optical properties of value for many applications including lighting, sensing, and energy harnessing. Consumer products containing NWs increase the risk of NWs being released in the environment, especially into aquatic ecosystems through sewage systems. Daphnia magna is a common, cosmopolitan freshwater organism sensitive to toxicity tests and represents
The Netherlands is a small country with a relatively large population which experienced a rapid rate of land use changes from 2000 to 2008 years due to the industrialization and population increase. Land use change is especially related to the urban expansion and open agriculture reduction due to the enhanced economic growth. This research reports an investigation into the application of remote se
This study explores the application of spatial modelling techniques to generate susceptibility maps for a neglected zoonotic disease, visceral leishmaniasis (VL), in an endemic area in southern Caucasus that includes Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan. The social and physical environment of southern Caucasus has been mainly characterized by the presence of several factors that are strongly associated wi
Begreppet plattformar har under de senaste åren seglat upp som ett av de mest centrala begreppen i den digitala ekonomin. Digitala plattformar möjliggör mängder av nya, effektiva sätt att organisera samhället – med långtgående konsekvenser för en rad centrala samhällsfunktioner. Detta ställer en rad frågor om medbestämmande och reglering, om innovationens förutsättningar och hur en plattformsmedve
Developmental hematopoiesis differs from adult and is far less described. In the developing embryo, waves of lineage-restricted blood precede the ultimate emergence of definitive hematopoietic stem cells (dHSCs) capable of maintaining hematopoiesis throughout life. During the last two decades, the advent of single-cell genomics has provided tools to circumvent previously impeding characteristics o
