Tree vegetation is an essential element in the daily life of the people in the Sahel region of Africa. It is also considered as a robust indicator of the Sahel ecosystem status and health. In this thesis, a method to estimate tree vegetation was developed and used in mapping the tree canopy cover in semi-arid Sahel. The developed method utilized Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as the

I denna uppsats undersöks hur servicesektorn framställs i litteraturen inom ramen för den samtida arbetarlitteraturen. Förklaring ges också till varför servicesektorn fått en framträdande roll i litteraturen under senare år. Tre böcker, "Jag ska egentligen inte jobba här" av Sara Beischer, "Kallskänken" av Jenny Wrangborg och "Tjänster i hemmet" av Marie Hållander, an

It is my belief that one must understand a city’s history to understand its present. A town should be seen as an ongoing process, and its streets, blocks and architecture is to be seen as important actor in the course of events. A building is in many ways an expression of personality and sociality, and each new resident is a major player in its development and appearance. The ongoing process. To u

Syftet är att undersöka utvecklingen hos IT-företag som förvärvar IT-företag utifrån ett aktievärdeperspektiv och ett effektivitets- perspektiv. Detta uppnås genom att studera skillnaden samt relationen mellan onormal aktieavkastning och effektivitetsnyckeltal.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om introduktionen av SBO kan ge mer relevant information till institutionella investerare samt om SBO kan minska förväntnings- och informationsgapet mellan institutionella investerare och revisionen. Studien ämnar bidra till debatten kring de nya ändringar av revisionsberättelsen och hur SBO kan bidra till att minska förväntningsgapet samt informationsgapet ut

Satellite data is useful for making inference on large areas, but there are plenty of problems associated with the technology. The observation errors need to be carefully modelled in order to make inference from the data. In addition, the large data-sets involved makes straight-forward computations infeasible. This thesis explores a non-Gaussian noise structure, and implements a modified EM algorit

If the individual characteristics and background of each learner affect their ability to optimally learn the teacher must be flexible and willing to adapt in order to optimally teach. The aim of this study was to observe and document operationalized differentiated English as a second language teaching in one upper secondary school in the southwest of Sweden. The method used was that of an explanat

In the energy sector a transition towards smart grid is now taking place as a step towards a sustainable energy distribution. In addition to many other solutions, this transition will depend upon extended measurements and data management to increase the knowledge about load flows (i.e electricity use) in the network. This thesis will concentrate on data management and statistical analysis of measur

The unpredictable behaviour of financial time series has long been a concern for econometricians, making it difficult to find appropriate models with a satisfactory fit. The Markov regime switching model is a popular approach, much in behalf of the way it takes the shifts in the time series behaviour into account. The model in this thesis is based on a mixture of normal distributions, extended to

In the last couple of decades a strong increase in surface water iron (Fe) concentrations has been observed in the Northern hemisphere. Since Fe in surface waters derives from the soil in the catchment it is important to understand what biogeochemical processes are governing this increase. It has been proposed that reduced atmospheric sulphate deposition increases Fe concentrations in soil solutio

Abstrakt Self-harming patients is a problem nurses’ faces in their everyday work. In Sweden approximately 7800 people is hospitalised due to self-harm. The aim of this study is to examine what factors influences nurses’ attitudes and care towards patient who self-harm.

ABSTRACT This bachelor thesis investigates whether there are any correlation between the political orientation of the incumbent party of a country and the performance of the stock market, i.e. will the stock market behave bullish or bearish depending on whether the political party is located on the right-wing or the left-wing? The study is performed with multiple linear regressions of 13 OECD coun

Narratives focusing on People of Color often suffer from neocolonial treatment with narrow focus on race at the expense of character development, working with stereotypical monoliths rather than complex individuals. These types of narratives tend to use Whiteness as a “neutral” reference point. In this thesis, I demonstrate how novelist Junot Díaz crafts The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao around

The global mobile data traffic, as well as the energy consumption, for networks is constantly increasing. For this reason, techniques which can provide higher spectral efficiency while being more energy efficient are needed. Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a technique which can bring these two together and will play an important role in future wireless networks. The most power co
