Seagrass fragmentation is a process that results in changes to landscape features and can seriously impact certain fauna groups. To understand how habitat fragmentation and patch size influences predator-prey interaction has become an important task for researches worldwide, in order to visualize how this process affects key species in this environment. We performed laboratory experiments to inves
Åldersbestämning med 14C-metoden kräver kalibrering med hjälp av en oberoende dateringsteknik. En idealisk metod som idag används för kalibreringen är dendrokronologi, eftersom trädens årsringar utgör ett nästan perfekt arkiv av 14C-halten i atmosfären och eftersom dendrodatering är en mycket exakt metod. Bakgrunden till detta arbete är ett forskningsprojekt vid Lunds universitet, där man i trädriRadiocarbon dating requires calibration by an independent dating technique. An ideal method used to calibrate radiocarbon results is dendrochronology, because tree-rings are almost perfect archives of the atmospheric radiocarbon level and dendrodating can be very accurate. However, an age offset between the calibrated 14C and dendrochronologically-dated ages has been observed for certain pine-tree
This paper is about the values within the volunteering work in conjunction with the ASSITEJ Performing Arts Festival and World Congress 2011. Using a questionnaire method amongst the volunteers in Malmoe, I have collected 93 answers on the reasons to why they became volunteers. As a theoretical framework I use Pierre Bourdieu’s declaration of symbolic, social and cultural capital to catch the non-
Syftet med detta arbete är att besvara frågan: Hur tycker musikelever på gymnasiet att de utvecklats musikaliskt/rytmiskt av att spela brasiliansk musik under en begränsad period av sex veckor? I detta arbete vill jag således ta reda på hur eleverna tänker och reflekterar över deras musikaliska utveckling och lärande, jag vill också se om man kan använda brasiliansk musik som metod för att lära el
Statistical theory suggests that call arrivals to a telephone exchange follow a Poisson process and that time between successive calls is exponentially distributed. Previous studies indicate that the average number of arrivals changes over time, and thus follow a time-inhomogeneous Poisson distribution. The purpose of this thesis is to assess if the characteristics of daily calls to a call center
A suicide is a tragedy not only for family and relatives of the victim but also for the railway operator’s personnel and other witnesses. The aim of this report is to reduce the rate of suicides in the railway system by means of showing that society gains from measures that reduce the risk of suicides and fatal accidents. This is possible with a risk analysis that accounts for input uncertainties
Within the past years the prehospital care has been vividly debated in the media. Foremost the level of competence among the paramedics has been disputed. The aim of this study was to receive information about how the paramedics feel about their trade. Data was collected through literary study and interviews with five paramedics. The interviews were analysed using a hermeneutic-phenomenologically-
The purpose of this study was to examine and illustrate how people look at themselves and their happiness in relation to their economic situation. This study was based on interviews with eight adults divided in two groups, four were big-income earners and four were unemployed/sick-listed. I identified factors that affected the feeling of happiness such as family, friends and economy. During the pr
As a reaction against unjust policies and repression the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in Indonesia and the Pattani United Liberation Organization (PULO) in Thailand were formed at the end of the 1970s. Though their agendas have developed during the years, their demands have usually been centred on claims for independence based on nationalist arguments. GAM and PULO have used different tools in their c
The relationship between the government and organised interest in Sweden has changed. Formally considered as a good example of a corporatist state the country during the last 15 years or so experienced a more pluralistic system. This thesis is a qualitative study which discusses how interest groups seek to influence decision makers and policy thru lobbying and public opinion. It also examines how
Title: This is not Africa - West African teaching methods in Sweden. This is a work of "translation". The study started with a musical journey to Guinea, West Africa. It was a field study where I had the opportunity to open my senses towards another culture and another kind of music. I found another learning tradition and decided to try to bring it with me back to Sweden, into the Swedis
My study is about how parents talk to their children about alcohol. The purpose of my study was to study how young teenagers communicate with their parents about alcohol. I also wanted to find out if parents have any influence over their children's choice of drinking. I have chosen to look at these questions from the perspective that alcohol is a cultural phenomenon, that children is a part of
Human society relies on, and interacts with, a diverse assortment of organisms and ecological systems, from the local to the global level. Research and management of these coupled social-ecological systems requires data that speaks to the variety of processes, statuses, and situations defined by them. Effective stewardship is enhanced by interdisciplinary thinking and, critically, access to intero
