The aim of this study was to examine pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT) of biofilm communities induced by chemical mixtures, characteristic of agricultural aquatic environments. Additionally, the use of biofilms as a natural passive sampler was investigated. In situ biofilms grown on artificial substrate for 4 to 6 weeks from sites located in agricultural areas were used to conduct a PIC
It is important to the recruitment company that only quality candidates, and the candidates most likely to receive an offer of employment get short-listed to go through the carriers selection process. It is this second phase of the recruitment process, the short-listing of potential candidates, that will be the focus of this thesis. Data has being gathered by the recruitment company through an i
Ecosystem services from forestry are highly valuable and may be limited by ungulate browsing. Thus, I investigated the impact and seasonality of browsing on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) using seasonal exclosures. Slightly more than 10 % of the pine trees were browsed at the top shoot, compared to spruce where top shoot browsing was almost non-existent. Pines that h
It is often impossible to capture the sound one wants without capturing noise. Consequently, research has been done on noise filtering in audio signals. Currently deep learning algorithms are used for noise filtering. This thesis investigated the effects of noise and denoising on sound classification. The thesis used two standard datasets for clean sound and noise. FSD50K was chosen as clean soun
The purpose of this essay is to explore power lines from a legal point of view and investigate the limits of what is possible to build within the concession order as well as the utility easement. This essay explores minor deviations from concession and utility easement when constructing or reconstructing a powerline. A literature study has been conducted alongside semi-structured interviews. To ge
There exists a lack of laser-based remote sensing methods that give signals with high intensity and directionality. According to previous research, mirrorless lasing can meet these requirements; however, neither the dependence on the gain medium geometry nor the light-matter interaction responsible for the emission has been investigated in detail. This thesis project examined the sideways lasing e
Along with the gradually accelerated urbanization process, simulating and predicting the future pattern of the city is of great importance to the prediction and prevention of some environmental, economic and urban issues. Previous studies have generally integrated traditional machine learning with cellular automaton (CA) models to simulate urban development. Nevertheless, difficulties still exist
Through WTO membership, a large number of countries are parties to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, also known as TRIPs. The strongest form of IP protection is the patent, which grants a number of valuable exclusive rights when the criteria for patentability have been met. Patents are often claimed to be a means for inventors to regain the expenses they may h
Mental crisis is according to Johan Cullberg (2006) a reaction pattern in which a person suffering from acute internal or external stresses which occur when one's life experiences and behaviour are not sufficient to cope with the new life situation you are in. We think that we as future social workers often can come across mental crisis in our work. As we think we don´t learn enough about ment
Driven by technological advances, the vision of a Connected Car finally becomes reality. As one of the Connected Car innovations, Car Infotainment Systems now get an internet connection. Following the example of the mobile industry, app ecosystems are about to emerge in cars. In-Vehicle technology has already become the new differentiation battleground in the automotive industry. Being technologic
This study is a survey of the bottom life of Hjälmsjön outside Örkelljunga in Skåne. The municipal and a row society are going to make an application for permission to dredge the bottom in order to increase the depth up to two meters depth. In the application they need a description of the area including which species live on the bottom and what the ecological status is for the lake. I have sample
The aim of this study was to get a picture of what it's like to work as a university teacher. By emphazising some factors in the psychosocial work environment I tried to reach a deeper understanding of which of these factors that could lead to a feeling of stress for a teacher at a university. The factors emphazised was demand and control, according to the stress researchers Karasek and Theore
When a young person commit a serious crime today, the consequence can be that the court decide an imprisonment punishment. But instead of sending young people under eighteen years to prison, they send them to particular juvenile institutions who have special departments called LSU or inpatient care of juveniles. These special LSU-departments duty is to take care, treat and look after the juveniles
The development of Mälaräng in the southwestern part of Stockholm aims to bridge the social and economic gap in between neighboring areas Mälarhöjden and Bredäng. Theories of the Just City by Susan Fainstein and the Lively City constructed by Jane Jacobs are applied to investigate the planning of Mälaräng regarding social, economic and physical environment-factors through the lens of justice and l
The purpose of this thesis was to study the correspondence of occupant load factors determined by the guidance document of Finnish National Building code and the real occupant loads measured from shopping malls. The correspondence of occupant load factors determined according to Finnish National Building Code were compared with the occupant load factors determined in other national and internat
This thesis investigates the dynamic correlation between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin returns from 2018 to 2024. To capture potential regime-specific dynamics, a Markov Switching Model is employed to segment each return data into two distinct states characterized by high or low volatility, using a LASSO regression to find the appropriate explanatory variables for the returns. Univariate GARCH(1,1)
This study examines how Swedish media reported on gun violence in criminal gangs from a brief view of the 1990s, the early 2000s, to 2023. Its goal is to see how these stories have changed over time and how they affect people's thoughts and actions. There is little research on this topic; therefore, this study fills an important gap. It examines news articles from major Swedish newspapers and
Results of a search for decays of massive particles to fully hadronic final states are presented. This search uses 20.3 fb(-1) of data collected by the ATLAS detector in root s = 8 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Signatures based on high jet multiplicities without requirements on the missing transverse momentum are used to search for R-parity-violating supersymmetric gluino pair productio
Haemophilia is an X-linked inherited rare bleeding disorder affecting mainly men. The treatment consists of replacement therapy that has been associated with severe side effects, such as blood transmitted viral infections, but has markedly improved over the last decades. The aim of this study was to study family structure over time among Swedish persons with haemophilia (PWH), focusing on children
