The paper presents results of a study on the use of the NOAA AVHRR data for desertification monitoring on a regional-global level. It is based on processing of the GIMMS 8 km global NDVI data set. Time series of annual integrated NDVI and standardized annual NDVI anomalies from the 1981-2003 periodic means were compared with a corresponding rainfall data set (i.e. 1981-2003) as well as a historica
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är idag viktigt att ha tillgång till moderna, snabba och miljövänliga analysmetoder, som är användbara för olika typer av livsmedel. Dagens metoder är arbetskrävande och leder till hantering och konsumtion av stora mängder lösningsmedel. Metoderna är oftast mycket svåra att automatisera på grund av att de innehåller vätske/vätske-extraktionssteg. Ett alternativ tillSample preparation is the most time-consuming step in an analysis. Traditional sample preparation techniques consume large amounts of organic solvents, are time-consuming and are difficult to automate. During the last decade some new extraction techniques have been developed for sample preparation and one of them is supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). This thesis focuses on sample preparation fo
Today’s architecture swarms with concepts of energy and resource efficient buildings. In contrast, vernacular buildings are characterized by low-tech climatic responsive strategies and by their inhabitants’ resource and energy savings practices during construction and operation of their dwellings. That makes vernacular buildings highly relevant to resource efficiency in contemporary building resea
Abstract in UndeterminedPicture books and other visual merchandize for children and youth have a central role in Euro-American Sunni Muslim efforts at religious socialization. The proposed paper aims at making some analytical remarks on the complex cultural interplay inherent to the visual aspects of such pedagogic–cum–commercial material.Islamic children’s literature originated in Muslim American
This paper analyzes the I/Q imbalance effect of direct-conversion receiver in wide-band wireless communication system and sets up frequency-selective I/Q imbalance model for ultra-wide band system. We design a new training sequence based on extra phase rotation and propose an estimation algorithm using diversity message introduced by I/Q imbalance during the demodulation process. Theoretical analy
The Brundtland report envisioned three sustainable dimensions for development: economic growth, ecological balance, and social inclusion with the aim to incorporate these dimensions into local, national, and global plans for sustainable development. In recent years, discussions about our society’s competitiveness and whether the three dimensions of sustainable development include all aspects of ou
Satellite remote sensing is a powerful tool for modelling gross primary production (GPP) at large scales. While model comparison is a prerequisite for understanding carbon dynamics comprehensively, existing GPP products rely on a limited number of satellite sensors. In this study, the contemporary fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation product derived from PROBA-V and Sentinel-3
Research aim: The thesis aims to research how higher education professionals perceive internal communication as a mean for knowledge-sharing within their workplace, and how it can support organizational learning. Theoretical framework and literature review: The theoretical framework applied, address and discuss the connection between internal communication, organizational learning, single- and do
Background: Globalization has contributed to that most companies today are competing on an international market, which has increased the emphasis on international human resource management. Due to the shortage of empirical studies on international human resource management practices the multinational "Best International Human Resource Management Practices Project" was conducted and parti
To explore the possible influence of pre-eclampsia on cognitive outcome in children born very preterm after intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and abnormal umbilical artery blood flow.
A search for new phenomena in LHC proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV was performed with the ATLAS detector using an integrated luminosity of 17.3 fb(-1). The angular distributions are studied in events with at least two jets; the highest dijet mass observed is 5.5 TeV. All angular distributions are consistent with the predictions of the standard model. In a bench
Results from a search for supersymmetry in events with four or more leptons including electrons, muons and taus are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to 20.3 fb(-1) of proton proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at root s = 8 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Signal regions are designed to target supersymmetric scenarios that can be either enriched
An experimental study was carried out at the Malmö School of Education in 1969 and 1970 for the purpose of studying the effects on the self-assessment of student teachers of, firstly, externally mediated self-confrontation processes (via closed-circuit television and video-recording), and secondly, dyadic confrontation processes (in the form of traditional tuto¬ring). Detailed reports on the backg
