Understanding the evolutionary processes behind intraspecific variation and population differentiation is an important topic in biology, since intraspecific variation is required for speciation. Angiosperms show fascinating diversity in flower designs. Since the flower is crucial for reproductive success and at the same time often involved in biotic interactions with pollinators and/or herbivores,
The main objective of this bachelor’s thesis was to develop a prototype for a system in the shape of a database with applications for environmental reports from waste incineration plants. The intent is to create a showcase and a proof of technology for ÅF Malmö’s customers who have an estimated benefit of this technology. The system needs to process data from a waste incineration plant according t
En järnväg kommer till en ort som tidigare saknat tågtrafik. En station ska byggas och passas in i en befintlig struktur. Nya möjligheter till att pendla skapas, till arbetsplatser och utbildning på andra orter. Fler får också möjlighet att besöka orten tack vare järnvägen. Under järnvägsbyggandets guldålder för drygt 100 år sedan kunde orter få en enorm tillväxt tack vara den nya förbindelsen ochThe places close to where a new railway line and new stations are established, are hugely affected by the arrival of this new mode of transportation. New possibilities to travel further in the same time as before, or the same distance in half the time, significantly increases the opportunities for both commuting and for visiting places. Historically, new villages or even towns have sprung up as
My master thesis project is an approach to define physical and societal boundaries and barriers in architecture for mental health, both concerning public space and the building itself. The typology Diagnest's aim is to reduce stigma in mental health, by providing "nests" for all groups of the society. I researched various projects by known architects to challenge myself in the proces
Overheating in buildings is a growing public health hazard becoming more prevalent with climate change. The research aimed to analyse how interactions between jurisdictional scales, urban stakeholders and policies promoting synergies affect adaptation processes in cities using overheating policies in London as an example. Understanding how these interactions affect policy implementation can ensure
Achieving constitutional amendment has been a goal for the Japanese conservatives for a long time, especially after the Cold War, because Japan’s peace identity has been perceived increasingly “abnormal” by the conservative elites in Japan. It thus engendered the heated debates surrounding whether Japan should change its peace identity via controversial constitutional amendment, which conflicts ag
The decay of solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation is studied in two expanding cosmological spacetimes, namely (1) the de Sitter universe in flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) form, and (2) the cosmological region of the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter (RNdS) model. Using energy methods, for initial data with finite higher order energies, bounds on the decay rates of the solution are ob
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur kontrollmodellen har tolkats och tillämpats i praktiken inom fastighetsbranschen, utifrån de teoretiska perspektiven kring principbaserade standarder. Vidare ämnar studien analysera huruvida utfallet har bidragit till en mer jämförbar och konsekvent intäktsredovisning. Den forskningsstrategi som använts i denna studie är av kvalitativ karaktär. För att besva
Stickiness between materials can be a challening task when dealing with the complex interactions and processes related to packaging engineering. Part of the problem is that many factors like temperature, pressure, surface treatment as well as surface roughness all could play a part in contributing to the stickiness between materials. In this thesis a literature study has been done to map out poten
OPCPA stands for optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification. It is a nonlinear method for amplifying broadband laser beams. The spatial properties of the output of the laser beam depends on the amplification method itself and the broadband configuration. The phase matching in this method causes the different wavelengths in the broadband to have different angular dispersions. In order to inves
We are constantly interacting with UI/UX in different shapes, forms or applications, which is very important especially when using electronic interfaces. Therefore, we need to design well-thought-out and user-friendly interfaces that elevate the user’s experience. When it comes to fantasy sports games, statistics is a big factor for understanding fantasy sport which might be at most times overwhel
“Choice blindness” (CB) refers to a certain tendency to accept a choice that is presented to us as if it were our own, even when we have never made it. In the last decade, CB has been treated as a research tool in a series of experiments in different domains and modalities (e.g. Johansson et al. 2005, 2008; Hall et al. 2010, 2013; Sagana et. al 2014; Cochran et al. 2016) in order to study the rela
As the global world population is growing, so is the demand and consumption for the earth's natural resources. Circular economy has attracted global attention as an alternative to the predominating linear economic system. The construction industry represents a field causing significant climate-and environmental impact and waste. How circular economy should be applied practically within constru
The purpose of this work was to contribute to the creation of a prototype of a new type of robot called Agile Parallel Kinematic Manipulator or AgilePKM for short. Designing, building and controlling a new type of robot is a task which goes beyond the scope of any master thesis project, but there are subtasks which are more suitable to handle within the available time frame. A principle design wil
Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för hur ekonomin påverkas av legalisering av cannabis för rekreationsbruk. Ekonomin är en mycket intressant och meningsfull aspekt av legaliseringen där resultat inom olika områden används för att utvärdera eftereffekter och finna positiva och negativa trender för att se om resultaten är önskvärda eller inte. Genom detta arbete samlas tidigare studier och d
Background: The current lack of knowledge among entrepreneurs to manage the e-commerce market has created an increased need for incubator activities and the support that incubators can assist entrepreneurs with. Incubators intend to contribute with support for companies by assisting with various services where the success of business development can lie in different combinations of these services
Bakgrund: Alkoholrelaterad ohälsa är ett folkhälsoproblem som leder till lidande på individ och samhällsnivå. Distriktssköterskan ska arbeta hälsofrämjande och personcentrerat. Tidigare forskning visar att sjuksköterskor upplevde okunskap och rädsla att möta dessa personer. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa distriktssköterskans upplevelser av utmaningar och användning av verktyg i bemötande
Linear time-invariant systems are ordinary differential equation systems that arise in control engineering where they are used to model e.g. signal processing, chemical processing and economics. A study is conducted on linear time-invariant systems, their solution and three key properties they have: Observability, reachability and stability. Three algorithms, Gaussian elimination, singular value d
This thesis draws on eleven semi-structured interviews with Duterte supporters. It analyses how the president is perceived by Filipinos, more specifically by those who support him and live in Sweden and the Philippines, in order to provide an in-depth understanding of the appeal of Duterte to his supporters. The thesis focuses on the main reasons for Duterte’s popularity, the war against drugs and
