The relationship between Indonesia and rice self-sufficiency policy has lasted since its independence from colonialism. Unfortunately, the policy does not always work. Even though the Government has done a lot of things to improve rice production, Indonesia has to import rice from overseas to fulfill its demand for rice. This study evaluates what has been done by the Indonesian Government to achie
Detta examensarbete utfördes på CG Drives & Automation (Emotron). Företaget satsar på att utveckla produkter och lösningar för att styra och övervaka elektriska motorer. En av deras mer populära produkter är den effektiva och energisparande frekvensomriktaren. Dess positiva egenskaper kommer även med en negativ effekt, nämligen en ökning av THD nivån i systemet. Med denna ökning uppkommer skadThis thesis was conducted on CG Drives & Automation (Emotron), a company that invests in developing products and solutions to control and monitor electrical motors. One of their more popular product is the effective and energy saving Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). However, the usage of an VFD leads to higher THD levels in the system, which then creates harmful harmonics. The quality of the gr
The term Middle-income Trap (MIT) is relatively new, originating thirteen years ago, but has since generated significant debate. It is used by politicians to channel national reforms and has given rise to a vast amount of research about growth slowdowns in middle-income countries (MICs). The term describes the higher prevalence of economic growth slowdowns in MICs, which impedes their transition i
This study examines discourses about hormonal contraceptives from the viewpoint of researchers and professionals within the health care system, and from users of the contraceptives. Among other things, I highlight how the representations of the health care professionals concerning side effects from hormonal contraceptives differ from the experiences had by the users themselves. I explore the cultu
Abstract Zoos have been gaining increased popularity from tourists in recent years, as many people feel distant from wildlife and thus are eager to experience closeness with animals. The aim of this paper is to analyse tourist experiences of modern zoo tourism and the research question asked is “What types of tourist experiences are tourists gaining when visiting a modern zoo?” To achieve this ai
Michael Posner är en amerikansk psykolog som under tidigt 80-tal utvecklade ett numera välkänt experiment kallat Posner Paradigm, eller Posner’s Cueing Task. Experimentet är vida använt för att bedöma hur en deltagares uppmärksamhet kan påverkas av olika störningar och stimuli. Här utförs detta experiment på deltagare i en förstärkt verklighet.Posner Cueing Task is an experiment to investigate the eect dierent type of stimulis could have on the visual attention. This master thesis aimed to implement a Posner Cueing Task in an Argumented Reality using a integrated eye tracker. The thesis were divided into two distinct parts. One part to write code for synchronisation and communication between Microsoft Hololens and Tobii eye tracker. One
Så det visar sig att du kollade på fel gen från första början Vänta, har jag kollat på fel gen från första början? Ja, det är frågan man ställer sig själv när man inser att mutationen i genen man studerat verkar ha noll koppling till vad man faktiskt försöker undersöka. Var allt i onödan? Jag studerade gula mutanter av sädeslaget Korn. Dessa mutanter var gula just för att de hade mutationer i gThe xantha phenotype of barley is observable as a yellow plant and caused by an inability to correctly synthesize chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a tetrapyrrolic pigment containing magnesium, and is integral for photosynthesis in plants. The phenotype can be caused by a number of mutations, and through methods like linkage mapping and sequencing it is possible to find the causative genotype. In this p
Today plastic packaging is used in a wide array of industries including the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, the increasing amount of plastic waste from packaging is generating great amount of contaminants that do not only damage the environment, but as well the society and the economy as a whole. Whilst industries of fast consumer goods, such as the food and fashion industry enjoy vast rese
Det finns många olika typer sockermolekyler och de finns överallt i den levande världen. Olika typer socker fyller olika uppgifter, detta kan vara allt ifrån lagring av energi till att bygga upp strukturen hos växter och träd. Denna studie har ägnat sig åt att studera ett enzym, som påskyndar nerbrytningen av vissa sockermolekyler och klipper bort sockret galaktos från längre kedjor. Två olika typerThree clan-D α-galactosidases, BoGal36A (from Bacteroides ovatus), AnGal36A (from Aspergillus niger) from GH-family 36 and CtGal27A (from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) from GH27, were studied for their transglycosylaton ability. All the investigated α-galactosidases were shown capable of catalyzing transglycosylation reactions with 4-Nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside (pNPαGal) as donor and methanol, pr
Studien är en diskursanalys av statens språkbruk i rättsfallet mellan samebyn Girjas och svenska staten i Högsta domstolen. Girjas stämde staten år 2009 i Gäl-livare tingsrätt och ärendet avslutades i Högsta domstolen i Stockholm år 2020. Girjas fick ensamrätt på jakt och fiske på samebyns område, vilket gör att de lättare kan förvalta rennäringen i samband med jakten och fisket. Sverige har bliviThis study analyses the discourse used by the Swedish state in the trial between the Saami village of Girjas and the Swedish state in the Swedish Supreme court. Girjas sued the State for the first time in 2009, and then took the case to the su-preme court in 2020. The people of Girjas won the hunting and fishing rights on the land in question thanks to the concept of prescription from time immemor
Winston Churchill once said “democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time”. Can this sentence be related to economic growth and development? This thesis analyzes the economic outcomes of the two main political regimes (Democracy and Dictatorship) in the developing world and discovers that Churchill’s words cannot be applied for l
Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan anställningsotrygghet och upplevt psykiska välmående med det sociala samspelet mellan kollegor som en medierande effekt. Detta undersöktes genom en webbaserad enkät, där upplevt psykiskt välmående, anställningsotrygghet och det sociala samspelet mättes med konstruktestade formulär. Deltagarna (N=87) var anställda i livsmedelsbutiker The purpose of the study was to examine if there is a covariance between job insecurity and the experienced mental well-being with the factor social interaction between co-workers as a mediating effect. This was studied through a web survey where experienced mental well-being, social interaction and job insecurity was measured with construct validated surveys. The participants (N=87) were employee
Accounting for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions, the cement industry is one of the greatest contributors to climate change, despite the lack of focus on this sector in popular discourse. Deep cuts in this sector are challenging to achieve due to necessitated alteration of material components and formulation of the traditional product in addressing non-energy related ‘process emissions’. Te
Vår kropp är uppbyggd av biljontals celler, men utan kommunikation och samarbete dem emellan skulle kroppen och dess livsviktiga processer inte fungera. Denna kommunikation äger till stor del rum på cellernas yta, det så kallade cellmembranet, som alltså inte bara fungerar som en barriär mellan cellerna. Här finns nämligen flera olika molekyler och proteiner som sköter en stor del av kommunikationProteoglycans are important macromolecules located on the human cell surfaces. They have many different and important roles in communication between cells. These roles are especially important for cancer development and the survival of tumor cells and these proteoglycans are, therefore, interesting to study. The proteoglycans are made up of a protein core to which glycosaminoglycan chains are boun
The topic of energy poverty has recently gained prominence amongst researchers and academia in Taiwan within the context of rising energy prices and low emission energy transitions. Social welfare organizations (SWOs) that provide 24-hour residence and care for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and disabled, highly depend on various energy services and are likely to be significantly affe
Urbanisering med växande och tätare städer i kombination med klimatförändring som förväntas kunna ge extremare väder kräver ett smart markanvändande där flera funktioner kan uppfyllas på samma yta. Ett exempel på en multifunktionell anläggning är skelettjordskonstruktioner som har en bärförmåga som hanterar ovanliggande laster, skapar gynnsamma förhållanden för träd och hanterar dagvatten med reniUrbanization with growing and denser cities in combination with climate change that is expected to produce more extreme weather requires a smart land use where several functions can be fulfilled on the same surface. An example of a multifunctional facility is structural soil that have a bearing capacity to handle loads, create favorable conditions for trees and handle stormwater with purification
Nigritella miniata is an alpine orchid species disjunctly endemic to the Eastern Alps and the Southeastern Carpathians. It is thought to have arisen only once through a hybridisation event between now extinct ancestors. Questions of interest are whether N. miniata survived in few or many isolated refugia in the Eastern Alps during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and their relationship with the pop
