A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. It was established that stars with mK ≤ 16 can be observed and then they become
The study considers the phenomenon of double alienation, by which is meant the immigrant’s feeling of in a sense being alienated in their native country as well as in the new one. Those elements of their behaviour which are common in the one country or the other are expected there, whereas those which are not are seen as strange and different. This gives the immigrant a feeling of being at home in
This thesis is a combined conceptual study and preliminary design of two study options for a future tramway line between Trädgårdsgatan and Hälsovägen in Helsingborg. This line is of great interest since it’s centrally located and regarded as a problematic stretch of narrow streets, heavy traffic and steep gradients. In addition, a local tramway line in Helsingborg is regarded as a priority projec
Authors: Anna Kling – Karin Viklund Title: Sexual assault – Counselors work with and understanding of young people that has been victim of sexual assault (translated title). Supervisor: Mats Hilte The teenage years is a time when the child starts to become independent and the path to becoming an adult can be a confusing one. The sexual identity is playing an important role in the process. Attitud
Traditional museums are sometimes static, passive and lifeless. Based on previous work on interaction techniques in Virtual Reality museums, the aim of this Master Thesis is to bring this work to the next level. The project will focus on improving the experience of exploring a virtual museum through more realistic modeling and improved navigation and interaction with the objects allocated inside.
Company reorganisations are becoming more and more frequent in order to stay competitive in an international market place and to adapt to the changing economic environment. In this matter, taxation is one of the most important issues and is often a barrier to restructuring operations which is the consequence of the large variation in the effective tax rates in the Community. Therefore, the creatio
Abstract Title: “Acknowledging knowledge sharing - A Case Study of Knowledge Sharing in a Company in the Wind Turbine Manufacturing Industry.” Seminar date: 4th of June 2010 Course: BUSM Master thesis in Managing knowledge, people and change, 15 ECTS Author: Mikkel Kolstrup Supervisor: Sara Louise Muhr Key words: Tacit knowledge, Explicit knowledge, Knowledge sharing, Wind turbine industry, Rapid
This paper is a critical discourse analysis aiming to examine how the Migration Court in Malmö uses children's own reasons for asylum and the concept of the best interest of the child in a selected number of decisions from January to March 2012th. We have investigated how the court formulates its decisions in order to under¬stand if a child’s claim for asylum is tested on its own merits and ho
I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed. Forced Labor is a hidden phenomenon, therefore there is reason to assume that these cases only show the tip of the iceberg. Forced labor
Den boreala skogen, mer känd som taigan, breder ut sig på de nordliga delarna av norra halvklotet innan den trädlösa tundran tar över. I detta enorma skogsområde som sträcker sig genom Skandinavien, Ryssland och Nordamerika är störningar i form av bränder, insektsangrepp och stormar vanliga och en naturlig del av ekosystemet. Dessa störningar påverkar skogens kolbalans genom deras inverkan på bådeNatural disturbances such as fires, insect outbreaks and windthrows are able to influence the balance between the ecosystem gain and loss of carbon in the boreal forest. This effect of natural disturbances on the ecosystem carbon balance has been proposed as one of the reasons why the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere varies between years. At present the boreal forest as a whole act to mitigate
Objective: To investigate the risk of stillbirth or neonatal death before 45 post-menstrual weeks in relation to gestational duration, stratified by body mass index (BMI) and parity. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register. Population: Singleton, cephalic births at between 39+0 and 42+2 weeks of gestation, 2005–2016 (n = 892 339). Methods: Relative risk r
Hypolimnas butterflies (Nymphalidae), commonly known as eggflies, are a popular model system for studying a wide range of ecological questions including mimicry, polymorphism, wing pattern evolution, and Wolbachia-host interactions. The lack of a time-calibrated phylogeny for this group has precluded understanding its evolutionary history. We reconstruct a species-level phylogeny using a nine gene
For modern high-efficiency gas turbines, film cooling is an essential method to protect the turbine blade from the hot gas, and the issue about how to improve the film cooling performance has attracted much attention. This study presents a new design concept used for film cooling in gas turbine to improve the overall cooling effectiveness and better decrease the metal temperature of the blade at t
In butterflies, male reproductive success is highly related to the quality and the size of the spermatophore transferred to the female. The spermatophore is a capsule produced by the male during copulation, which in many species contains sperm in addition to a nuptial gift, and which is digested by the female after copulation. The nuptial gift may contribute to egg production and offspring quality
Genom projektet har vi har strukturerat ett digitalt vårdförlopp som inte bara förbättrar tillgängligheten och flexibiliteten för patienter i palliativ vård, utan även ger närstående ett bättre stöd och underlättar kommunikationen med vården. Projektet syftar till att införa fler digitala vårdlösningar i den palliativa öppenvården genom 1177.se-plattformen, och därmed stärka vårdens strategiska må
Background Increased postoperative cardiac troponin (cTn) independently predicts short-term mortality. Previous studies suggest that preoperative cTn also predicts major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality after noncardiac surgery. The value of preoperative and perioperative changes in cTn as a prognostic tool for adverse outcomes has been sparsely investigated. Methods and findings
