Tracking activities have lately been very popular in smartphones, which requires that the devices are able to classify activities correctly. Since this type of devices has limitations in both power consumption and computational performance, it is important to keep these factors to a minimum. Therefore, the low cost of the accelerometer sensor is a good platform to build a classification on. Althou
This study investigated the “relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests”. The proposed method investigated in this study aims at mapping the fractional composition of deciduous/coniferous tree species and also the fractional composition of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and several pine (Pinus sp.). The fractions can then be used to cl
Forests are today recognised as vital for ensuring a sustainable world and today’s initiatives to save them address everything from actual resource use to fictitious agendas such as carbon sequestration. Forests have become embedded in a “fog of greening”, and in this process local forest become global spaces for saving the world. The fog of greening is dislocated from the ground but has both mate
This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is
Spiders play a key role as predators in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Their community composition is strongly affected by environmental gradients. The latitudinal diversity gradient concept states that diversity and species richness is negatively related to increasing latitude. This has been observed in spiders on a continental scale, but so far was not observed on a regional scale in Eu
When landscape changes due to urbanization and agriculture wild nature must adapt and find new spots to colonize. A golf course is one example of such an area. In Scania many golf courses are situated on old agricultural fields, where they can contain more biodiversity than the fields they replace. In this study I mapped potential habitats for different species of flora and fauna at Kvarnby golf c
With industrial robots ready to take the next step in mastering manufacturing tasks new approaches to reduce the programing effort are needed. This is achieved by introducing skills as robot "know-how" and using them as a higher abstraction level of robot instructions during programming. The skills are reusable items providing motion control and rich declarative descriptions of complex r
A robot should follow a given path as accurately as possible. There are however almost always deviations from the desired path, and when the deviations become too large it may be a problem. Some of the deviations stem from transmissions of the robot, and the deviations become more pronounced when there are process forces and gravitational forces present, that affect the transmissions. When positio
Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av kritisk diskursanalys och intersektionell teoribildning studera huruvida könsnormer reproduceras i dagens populärlitteratur riktat till unga tjejer. Det empiriska materialet består av sex nummer av tidningarna Solo och Veckorevyn från 2015. Detta material har kategoriserats och delats upp i fyra återkommande teman för vidare analys; relationer, sex, uts
Denna uppsats berör James Bond-filmerna "Thunderball" och "Never Say Never Again" utifrån den franske teoretikern, kompositören och författaren Michel Chions teorier. Filmerna jämförs med hjälp av hans begrepp och termer, såsom masking method m.m
Previous research about mechanical properties in shear of paperboard is limited. The out-of-plane properties of paper have been investigated in this work. To mimic the industrial processes of packaging paperboard, shear tests have been performed. Compression has also been applied in the ZD-direction to mimic the high shear from the creasing. The mechanical behavior of paperboard in the MD- and CD
Title: Mobility Management – to reduce car commuting and to increase active commuting in private companies. [translated title] Institution: The Department of Service Management and Service Studies, Lund University, Campus Helsingborg Course: KSKK01 Service Management, Examensarbete för kandidatexamen, VT 2015 Authors: Yijuan Lindskog & Erik Wennberg Supervisors: Torleif Bramryd & Micha
The Black Forest National Park (NP), Germany, opened in 2014 after intense societal disputes, complicated by changing political factors, scientific conservation debates, and multi-level decision-making structures. I argue that value conflicts over fundamentally opposed views on nature underlie these disputes, and that integrating these views in future NP planning may improve the sustainability of
Digital natives is an age group born into a digital world and who possesses little knowledge about a society without internet or social media. The increased usage of social media has made universities realize that an online social media presence is necessary to attract the attention of their digital native prospective students. Along with social media comes the necessity of create online engagemen
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept of high relevance for business in general, and within logistics in particular (Seuring et al., 2008), and represents a set of actions that extend beyond the legal obligations and the explicit monetary interests of the company, aiming to benefit the society (McWilliams and Siegel, 2001). An important dimension of CSR is Occupational Health and Safe
The interactions between airway epithelial cells (AECs) and dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in the sensitization towards airborne allergens. Not much is known about the underlying mechanisms and novel in vitro approaches are needed, which include the different involved cell types in order to investigate what happens at the molecular level during sensitization. In this project, one aim
In Sweden, hypertension, is one of the most common reasons to attend primary care thus a Swedish public health problem of epic proportions. There is a general consensus about that effective antihypertensive treatment reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and premature death. Non-pharmacological treatment is advocated to be the basis of treatment. The caregiver is responsible for s
Användningen av miljöcertifiering för byggnader har ökat de senaste åren och intresset beror på flera faktorer så som: värdeökning, miljömedvetenhet, PR etc. Regionservice använder certifiering vid deras nyproducerade byggnader och de använder då Miljöbyggnad. Att använda miljöcertifieringar påverkar upphandlingen då det sätter rammar för de tekniska kraven. Samtidigt finns lagen om offentlig upph
