Biodiversity, and in particular plant species diversity decline is linked to landscape fragmentation and habitats loss due to land use transformations but also to decreasing dispersal vectors in the landscape. During the last 200 years the landscape has undergone dramatic changes in its structure and its habitats diversity. Among the different habitats that constitute rural landscape there are thr
When birds move around in their natural environment the feathers on the wings are exposed to various factors that reduce their performance, such as UV-radiation, mechanical wearing and bacteria. In time the feathers get worn out and are replaced. This usually happens once a year by a process called moult. Some bird species differs from this pattern and moult twice a year. This behavior may have infl
En stor andel av alla brottslingar som kommer i kontakt med den svenska kriminalvården lider av något slags missbruk. Kriminaliteten har ofta ett samband med missbruket och personen kan exempelvis ha begått brottet under någon slags påverkan eller i syfte att anskaffa sig droger. Såväl samhället som den dömde har ett stort intresse av att behandla ett eventuellt missbruk inom ramen för ett fängelsA large percentage of all the criminals who come in contact with the Swedish correctional system suffer from some kind of substance abuse. The criminality is often related to the abuse and the person may have committed such offense under some kind of influence or to obtain the substance. Both society at large and the offender may have a strong interest in the treatment of abuse in connection with
The ecological status in lake Risten, Sweden, is important in many ways. The lake is with its size a huge resource for recreation all around the year, since it provides good opportunities for activities like swimming, fishing and camping. Lake Risten is the first big lake in the river system downstream the deposits of the former copper mine in Bersbo, which has been affecting its downstream recip
DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is
In the current digital era different kinds of chat tools and communication plat- forms are used worldwide at many companies as a natural part of the work day. As the amount of chat conversations and messages increases, the degree of diffi- culty to find information sent previously rises. To tackle this difficulty, many of the leading communication platform providers have incorporated a search func
Detta examensarbete behandlar tre undantag till rätten att få sin sak prövad i domstol. Undantagen är 42 kap. 5 § första stycket andra meningen och 50 kap. 13 § första stycket rättegångsbalken (1942:740) samt pactum turpe. Syftet med uppsatsen är att fastställa rättsläget för de tre rättsreglerna och att komma till en slutsats om rättsreglerna är förenliga med artikel 6.1 EKMR. Det krävs att tvistThis thesis deals with three exceptions to the civil right to have one's case examined in court. The exceptions are chapter 42 section 5 and chapter 50 section 13 in The Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, and pactum turpe. The purpose of the essay is to determine the purview of the three rules and to come to a conclusion if the rules are compatible with Article 6 (1) of the ECHR. The adjudica
In the fifth generation of mobile communication, 5G, frequencies above 30 GHz, so-called millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies are expected to play a prominent role. For the synthesis of these frequencies, the all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) has recently gained much attention. A core component of the ADPLL is the digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), an oscillator that tunes the frequency d
Försörjningssektorn innefattar verksamheter som är verksamma inom områden som el, energi, vatten, posttjänster, viss mineralutvinning etcetera. När dessa verksamheter behöver införskaffa tjänster, varor och byggentreprenader, måste de göra det via ett upphandlingsförfarande, detta förfarande regleras i LUF. Detta gäller privata såväl som offentliga verksamhetsutövare. Syftet med denna uppsats ärEntities operation in sectors related to water, energy, transport and postal services and some forms of natural resource extraction need to go through a procurement-process when they need to procure services, wares, and construction contracts. In Swedish law this procurement-process is regulated by LUF. Private as well as government entities are both required to abide by LUF, even if the rules som
To simulate district heating networks, in this project the simulation environment Dymola was used. The goal was to run simulation of district heating network and at the same time have good network representation to easily change between different models and also change between doing simulation and optimization. Different models had to be created in Dymola and tested to ensure they work accordingly
Background: Some patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) cannot be treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and will therefore not receive effective thromboprophylaxis. The primary objective of the present Phase II trial (NCT00623779) was to assess the feasibility of conducting a study with a novel oral anticoagulant, the direct thrombin inhibitor AZD0837, in patients with AF unable or unwilling t
The presented study deals with the off-line coupling of preparative isotachophoresis (pITP) with on-line combination of capillary zone electrophoresis with electrospray mass spectrometric detection (CZE-ESI-MS) used for the analysis of therapeutic peptides (anserine, carnosine, and buserelin) in complex matrix (urine). Preparative capillary isotachophoresis, operating in a discontinuous fractionat
Laminar burning velocities of four biomass derived gases have been measured at atmospheric pressure over a range of equivalence ratios and hydrogen contents, using the heat flux method on a perforated flat flame burner. The studied gas mixtures include an air-blown gasification gas from an industrial gasification plant, a model gasification gas studied in the literature, and an upgraded landfill g
Studies on dissolved silicate (DSi) and biogenic silica (BSi) dynamics were carried out in the Oder estuary, Baltic Sea in 2000-2005. The Oder estuary proved to be an important component of the Oder River-Baltic Sea continuum where very intensive seasonal DSi uptake during spring and autumn, but also BSi regeneration during summer take place. Owing to the regeneration process annual DSi patterns i
Context. The formation and evolution of the Milky Way bulge is not yet well understood and its classification is ambiguous. Constraints can, however, be obtained by studying the abundances of key elements in bulge stars. Aims. The aim of this study is to determine the chemical evolution of C, N, O, and a few other elements in stars in the Galactic bulge, and to discuss the sensitivities of the der
This thesis deals with experimental tests and methods for strength analysis of glulam beams with holes. Test results and methods for strength analysis available in literature are compiled and discussed. The methods considered comprise both code strength design methods and more general methods for strength analysis. New strength tests of beams with quadratic holes with rounded corners are presente
In 131I SPECT, image quality and quantification accuracy are degraded by object scatter as well as scatter and penetration in the collimator. The characterization of energy and spatial distributions of scatter and penetration performed in this study by Monte Carlo simulation will be useful for the development and evaluation of techniques that compensate for such events in 131I imaging. METHODS: Fi
The Sahel belt of Africa has been the focus of intensive scientific research since the 1960s, spurred on by the chronic vulnerability of its population to recurring drought and the threat of long-term land degradation. But satellite sensors have recently shown that much of the region has experienced significant increases in photosynthetic activity since the early 1980s, thus re-energizing long-sta
