The severe decline in olive oil production recorded in the last years is having an economic impact on many Mediterranean countries. The aim of this MSc thesis is to predict the olive yield by means of satellite vegetation indices and meteorological data mostly retrieved by satellite remote sensors. Estimating olive yield production using remote sensing data is reasonably new as few scientific pape

Relations to time and space - a study of political art in the People’s Park of Malmö This thesis discusses the historical, political and social relations between an urban park and two types of artworks. The urban park, located in the city of Malmö, is named Folkets Park which is inspired by the Belgian “Maison du people” or in English, People’s Park. Folkets Park have historic ties to the Social D

The use of area-based approaches in urban regeneration is widely accepted in the European community. As these projects are based on the context of the focal area, there is no one-size-fits-all solution on how to design and implement those. The Eco-city Augustenborg project is an environmentally-led urban regeneration project initiated in Malmö in 1998. Today, fifteen years after the project was in

Foragers increase their fitness by choosing the most profitable food source to forage on. Food resource is spatially distributed in a landscape context and, most importantly, in a patch scale. Therefore, they have to make daily decisions about where to forage based on their ecological information about the surrounding environment. There is a lack of descriptive studies on the relationship between

Syftet med denna uppsats var att via en studie undersöka hur nosologi används i diagnostiska sammanhang, och teorisera om hur denna process kan utvecklas. Studien undersökte individers korrekthet i bedömningen av från-eller närvaron av symtom i ICD-10, samt deras logiska förhållande. 26 respondenter som under sin utbildningstid avslutat en kurs i psykiatrisk diagnostik genomförde en enkätundersöknThe purpose of this study, divided into two parts, was to research and review on how nosological methods are used and can be developed in a clinical environment. A survey was performed, where 26 students that have completed a course in psychiatric diagnostics answered true or false statements about the presence of specific symptoms and their logical connection in three selected diagnoses from ICD-

OBJECTIVE-To report the incidence of sight-threatening vascular lesions in type 2 diabetic subjects without retinopathy after adopting a 3-year interval screening program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-In all, 1,691 type 2 diabetic subjects with no detectable retinopathy in two 50 degrees red-free fundus photographs were scheduled for follow-up with photography 3 years later. Age at diabetes diagnos

In addition to having constitutive defence traits, many organisms also respond to predation by phenotypic plasticity. In order for plasticity to be adaptive, induced defences should incur a benefit to the organism in, for example, decreased risk of predation. However, the production of defence traits may include costs in fitness components such as growth, time to reproduction, or fecundity. To tes

This paper investigates the last two months of the Vietnam War, March and April 1975, from the CIA:s perspective. During the last two decades, the CIA have declassified many documents about the Vietnam war, thus making new source material available. The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban conquest, has also sparked a renewed interest in the Vietnam war. Hence,

The objective of this thesis is to understand how a retail space could facilitate a broader adoption of a novel technology. I aim to respond to the following questions, (i) ‘What characterises the practice of operating a smart technology for the home?’, (ii) ‘Which are the main barriers to reaching out to a broader range of customers, as opposed to only the technology interested customers?’, and (

Critical raw materials (CRM) are extensively used in tools for metal cutting, such as in cemented carbide tools (cobalt and tungsten), because they provide desired characteristics of high fracture toughness and wear resistance. Both academia and industry are examining CRM-free material alternatives, such as tools based on polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or ceramic materials. These materials are gene

Context. We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, and information on astrophysical parameters and variability, for sources brighter than magnitude 21. In addition epoch astrometry and photometry are provided for a modest sample of minor planets in the solar system. Aims. A summary of the contents of Gaia DR2 is presented, accompani

We present evidence from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) survey of chemically separated, kinematically distinct disc components in the solar neighbourhood.We apply probabilistic chemical selection criteria to separate our sample into a-low ('thin disc') and a-high ('thick disc') sequences. Using newly derived distances,which will be utilized in the upcoming RAVE DR5, we explore the kinematic

This doctorate thesis focuses on sparse regression, a statistical modeling tool for selecting valuable predictors in underdetermined linear models. By imposing different constraints on the structure of the variable vector in the regression problem, one obtains estimates which have sparse supports, i.e., where only a few of the elements in the response variable have non-zero values. The thesis coll

Protein biomarkers have the potential to improve diagnosis, stratification of patients into treatment cohorts, follow disease progression and treatment response. One distinct group of potential biomarkers comprises proteins which have been linked to cancer, known as cancer associated proteins (CAPs). We determined the normal variation of 86 CAPs in 72 individual plasma samples collected from ten i

An important part of responsible business practices is compliance with the law. This article details what actually happens when the laws of the host country fail to ensure adequate protection. The focus here is on land dispossession and loss of livelihood in relation to a gold mine project in central Ghana. How is it that a well-known international company—Newmont—with its own corporate social res

To our knowledge, this is the first prospective study using validated questionnaires to assess patient-relevant outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Data from the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the SF-36 Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form Health Survey, and the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale were available for 74 consecutive patients (50 males, 24 females; mean age, 4

Soil microbes drive ecosystem function and play a critical role in how ecosystems respond to global change. Research surrounding soil microbial communities has rapidly increased in recent decades, and substantial data relating to phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) and potential enzyme activity have been collected and analysed. However, studies have mostly been restricted to local and regional scales

The building sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily due to two factors: the embodied energy of construction materials and the operational energy consumed over a building’s lifespan. Given this substantial environmental impact, sustainability and climate resilience have become critical priorities in global policy frameworks. Addressing this challenge requires

The optical response of gold-silver (Au-Ag) alloy nanoparticles is strongly influenced by their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which can be tuned by varying the particle composition. Accurate simulation of LSPR, often performed using Mie theory, critically depends on the choice of dielectric function, yet available datasets for gold, silver, and their alloys vary widely. In this work,
