El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have a great impact on global climate, often with disas-trous effects in many parts of the world. The carbonate skeleton of corals record El Niño activity by tracing sea surface temperature and salinity in the oceans where they grow. As El Niño’s core region is the equatorial Pacific Ocean, this is where the most direct consequences of ENSO are seen, com

This thesis analyses dominant discourses in five reports about methods used in Swedish youth unemployment programs financed mainly by the European union. The purpose is to examine and deconstruct creation of meaning in institutional knowledge production about employability. With a poststructuralist approach the thesis draws on Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory. The feminist concept of inte

Health Information has a great potential to support decisions in the Health System. Making a decision in Health System (HS) can no longer be seen as a problem owing to technical advancements in computing and telecommunications. This is due to the harnessing of the effective decision-making process in order to leverage information flow. However, how the information flow in Malawi supports decision-

Studien ger en analys av kommunal arbetslöshet i Sverige. Syftet är att undersöka om arbetslöshet kan modelleras med en linjär regressionsmodell, eller om den kräver en utvidgad modell med en rumslig komponent. I detta syfte skattas en Durbinmodell – en modell som utvecklar den multipla linjära regressionen med rumsligt vägda variabler. Landet delas i fem regioner (Götaland, Norrland, Svealand, StThe study presents an analysis of municipal unemployment in Sweden. Its aim is to examine whether unemployment can be modeled using linear regression or re-quires an additional spatial component. To do this, a Durbin model – a model that extends multiple linear regression using spatially weighted variables – is employed. The country is divided into five regions (Götaland, Norrland, Svealand, Stock

Syfte: Att beskriva och analysera det dilemma som kan uppstå vid överföring av implicit kunskap vid en integrationsprocess där ett mindre företag med hög innovationsförmåga blir förvärvat av ett större internationellt företag. Slutsatser: Företag som vill få tillgång till implicit kunskap genom företags-förvärv måste göra ett val mellan integration och bevarande av det förvärvade företaget. Det up

Ecosystem services are a way to decrease cities ecological footprint as well as adapt to a changed climate in the future. Ecosystem services are fairly new as a concept and even though it has been used within urban planning in the past it wasn’t made popular until 2005 by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA). This study pinpoints what hinders municipalities to incorporate ecosystem services in

The goal is to construct a system that can predict and prevent failures on freight trains. As the resulting product is a proof of concept, the main focus is to show the capabilities of this concept. To predict and prevent failures, a system needs to be implemented with constant vibration measurement on every buggy along a train with up to 60 wagons. The challenges faced for solving this is the lac

Popular science summary The Role of Fungal Communities in the Lodgepole pine´s invasion Summary Belowground microbial interactions have an important effect on the performance of plant populations and the success of plant invasions. The introduced Lodgepole pine, for instance, can be presented with novel fungal mutualists in the introduced areas in comparison with their native ranges. These nove

In a survey, 91 people answered questions about their habits on the internet, with special focus on the behavioral climate and the respondents own thoughts on the develop- ment of the social milieu online. The answers from the survey highlights tendencies which are then investigated through participant observations in the online game League of Legends. I start off with the thought of investigating

Access to fresh water is essential for the lives of organisms and for human activities. However, with a growing population that strives after a higher standard of living, the pressure on already limited resources will rise. Lake Chad is one out of many diminishing lakes in the world where the call for action is urgent to prevent ecosystem degradation, famine, and outbreak of war. The lake has shru

The low levels of workforce participation achieved by Sweden’s immigrants is an issue that has challenged policymakers for over 35 years. Recently, the significance of this issue in the minds of Swedish voters has been made clear, as Sweden elected the first far-right anti-immigration party into parliament in almost 20 years. In late 2010, in an effort to combat the ongoing issue, the government i

This bachelor thesis mainly focuses on the cadmium in the environment, how we are exposed to cadmium and it´s human toxicity. Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that occurs naturally in the earth's crust (0,08 -0,05 μg Cd/g). Pure cadmium minerals are rare and cadmium is often found associated with zinc minerals, such as sphalerite (ZnS) with a Cd-concentration usually lower than 0,5 percent. The

Models for dynamic simulation of a parabolic trough concentrating solar power plant were developed in Modelica for the simulation software Dymola. The parabolic trough power plant has a two-­‐tank indirect thermal storage with solar salt for the ability to dispatch electric power later in the evening and during the night when little or no solar irradiation is present. The complete system consists

When we talk about the future of work we do no longer talk about “the paper less office” like we used to but the “no fixed work place office”. In the year of 2013 26% of the Swedish population was occasionally working flexible, meaning at other locations then the actual workplace. And this number is expected to increase in the upcoming years. The research made in this project consisted of differe
