Disturbances such as wildfires are key players involved in the shape, structure and function of the ecosystems. Fire is rarely included in Dynamic global vegetation models due to their difficulty in implementing its processes and impacts associated. Therefore, it is essential to understand the variables and processes involved in fire, and to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses before going forwa

Huvudsyftet med denna pilotstudie var att undersöka anknytningsrepresentationer hos ensamstående kvinnor i Sverige som planerar eller överväger att skaffa barn, som väntar barn eller som har fått barn genom assisterad befruktning (donatorinsemination).

Att beivra brott mot EU:s konkurrensregler har länge varit en syssla för EU- Kommissionen som genom offentligrättsliga sanktioner både utrett, dömt och straffat bland annat företag verksamma i kartellsamarbeten. Det offentligrättsliga sanktionssystemet har under de senaste åren fått konkurrens från en allt mer utbyggd civilrättslig sanktionsmöjlighet. Detta arbete kommer undersöka en av de berörinThe punishment of competition law violations within the EU have for the longest time been the task endowed upon the Commission of the European Union. The Commission have utilised public enforcement to investigate, try and punish cartel agreements amongst other things.

In the dynamic economic environment where knowledge is vastly distributed companies can no longer rely on their own research and are pushed to utilize outside sources to sustain growth. At the same time food industry involves large number of horizontal and vertical relationships, the very dynamic nature of these relationships play role in innovation. In order to fully capitalize on supplier-c

This study considered the question whether retrospective time perception was affected by priming the experimental condition to be more aware of subjective time during the experience of the target duration. Awareness of subjective time was operationalized by the direction of attention toward a running stop-watch, while participants were shown images for various durations on which they were later te

In this survey, we consider the trivial perfect codes which are the binary repetition codes of odd length and all codes that only contain one code word. We also take into acount, the Hamming codes as well as the two perfect Golay codes. We then prove that there do not exist any perfect codes over finite fields others than the ones above, using Lloyd's theorem.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att bedöma mottagaranpassningen på de delar av Trafikverkets webbplats som beskriver byggprojekten för väg. Det innebar närmare att undersöka på vilket sätt sidorna för ett enskilt projekt hölls samman och hur informationen var fördelad mellan sidorna, eftersom det är en viktig del i att utforma en webbplats på ett begripligt sätt. Till min hjälp hade jag information från

Materials and component production steadily needs to become more effective since newer projects might have a finite amount of resources. The reasoning why powder metallurgy and particulate materials processing is chosen as a topic for this thesis is because of the potential to minimize the manufacturing waste. Instead of utilizing wasteful cutting and grinding processing steps to gain the final sh

Earlier studies show that different concrete aggregates have different thermal properties, and from this an idea to optimize thermal properties of concrete was developed. The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate thermal properties of concrete so additional costs and negative environmental impacts can be minimized. Measurements of thermal properties of different Swedish aggregates from e

Föreliggande uppsats är ett examensarbete på juristprogrammet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida reglerna om laglott påverkas av regler om förmånstagarförordnande, förstärkt laglottsskydd samt förskott på arv.

The international increasing consumption implies an increase in the use of chemical products, articles and services. Between the years 2000 -2020 the production of chemicals is expected to rise with 85 percent. Chemicals is not something we can live without, they are all around us for example in food, electronics, clothes and hygienic products. The knowledge about hazardous chemicals and their env

In the last decade conceptual considerations of a new geological periodization called the Anthropocene have made scientists reconsider the role of human life on Planet Earth. This thesis examines the epistemological uncertainty concerning the hypothesis of the Anthropocene and analyses the theoretical implications in the human and social sciences hermeneutically. Based on multi-sited sensory ethno

The purpose for which the study was conducted was to investigate firm-specific advantages of standardization, and how standardization routines optimized and changing as intra organizational learning. The study was conducted as a qualitative case study where the pattern matching method is used to compare and analyse the collected data against a pre-constructed theoretical framework. The theoretica

Bakgrund: Begreppet kreativitet är en svårdefinierad, men viktigt egenskap hos människan. Tidigare studier visar på att kreativitet och kreativa aktiviteter kan bidra till både hälsa och ett framgångsrikt åldrande. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hur en grupp pensionärer i åldern 65-75 upplever kreativitet i sin vardag utifrån följande frågeställningar: Vad innebär begreppet kreativitet? I vilka a
