Species richness estimation is an ongoing difficult statistical problem. Most of the research done in this subject focuses on biological data even though, a lot of the methods can be applied more widely. In this paper, we will focus on technological data and compare different known estimators (both, parametric and non-parametric) to see how well they work and compare in determining the total number o

Diabetes mellitus is a global disease, mainly caused by insufficient insulin secre- tion from pancreatic islet β-cells. Insulin is stored in the granules of islet β-cells and released in response to extracellular stimuli e.g. glucose. The state of insulin structure and maturation determines the quality of the released insulin, However, the insulin state in the granules is rarely investigated due t

The use of statistical models in credit rating and application scorecard modelling is a thoroughly explored field within the financial sector and a central component in a credit institution’s underlying business model.

Mitt examensarbete påbörjades i en fas där jag valt en plats som jag känner en viss hatkärlek gentemot. En hatkärlek som gett mig energi till att skapa min vision. Kärleken ligger i en slags projicerad minnesbild av en plats som idag inte är mycket mer än bara en plats. I ett landskap, cirka 70 meter från vattenbrynet i en badort på Skånes sydkust, står restaurang Pärlan övergiven. En plats som fMy thesis was initiated in a face where I had a chosen site which I feel both love and hate towards. This paradox motivated me to form a future plan for this place. The love I feel lays in a form of projected memory of a place which today not feels more then just an abandoned place. In a landscape, approximately 70 meters from the water in a seaside village in the south of Skåne, the old restaura

I dagens samhälle finns det så mycket information tillgängligt, hela nätverk av information, men hur tolkar man den informationen. Det är för mycket att läsa all data i oändliga lister, följa datarelationerna och analysera det i hopp om att det uppfyller vad man behöver. Så denna uppsatsen utforskar hur man mer effektivt kan förmedla information genom grafiska visualiseringar. Projektet uforskar oIn this day and age with so much information available, networks of information, but how do you interpret that information. It is just too much effort to read it all in endless lists, following data relations and analysing it in hopes of fulfilling your use cases. The goal of this thesis is to explore how to more effectively convey information to people through visualizations. It explores differen

Mitt examensarbete är en undersökning av hur jag själv går till väga för att gestalta ett fritidshus åt mig själv. Vad blir de svåraste valen och vilka beslut kommer jag att ta under arbetets gång. Vad skiljer mellan ett permanentboende och ett fritidshus? Min vision är att fritidshuset ska bli självförsörjande och byggas med naturliga material. Jag har hämtat inspiration från de småländska torpen

I denna rapport diskuteras mjukvara som används för system bestående av automatiska maskiner som producerar produkter i ett företag. Testning är nödvändigt för att maskinerna ska fungera som planerat. Oftast görs testning manuellt, både under utveckling och medan produktionen är igång. Detta kallas för traditionell testning. Testning görs för att förbättra maskinens programkod. För att testen ska The topic of this thesis is software in systems of automated machines that produce products in a company. Testing of these systems is crucial for the machines to work as intended. Usually testing is done manually, both while the system is developed and while the production is running. This is called traditional testing. Testing is done to improve the machines program code. The machine needs to do

Klimatfrågan är komplex, men handlar i grunden om hur vi människor påverkar jordens atmosfär genom utvinning av fossila bränslen, användning av mark och våra konsumtionsmönster. Källorna till klimatpåverkan är många, vilket vi bland annat kan se i termer av att olika växthusgaser frigörs genom olika typer av mänsklig aktivitet. Växthusgaser har olika egenskaper vad gäller deras potential som pådriIn the collected efforts towards understanding earth’s climate system, and acting on climate change, the time dimension is of central importance. When humanity’s collected activity is carbon-neutral, and how the trajectory towards such a state might look, is a tough question to answer. One thing which does however stand out clearly is the fact that the common practice of having CO2-equivalents be

Denna uppsats har undersökt ’rätten att bli glömd’, dvs. fysiska personers rättighet att be en operatör till en sökmotor att inte visa sökträffar som innehåller personuppgifter på sin resultatlista efter en sökning på personens namn. Rätten att bli bortglömd är en relativt ny grundläggande rättighet i EU-rätten, då den först etablerades den 13e Maj 2014 i målet C-131/12 Google Spain, och blev sedaThis thesis has examined the right to be forgotten; the right to have personal data erased from the search index of a search engine operator so that it is not displayed following a search on the basis of a data subject’s name. The right is fairly new, as it was first established in Case C-131/12 Google Spain on 13 May 2014 and was subsequently codified in Article 17 and 21 of the General Data Prot

The aim of this study was to examine if there is a co-variation between attachment styles towards a parental figure and towards a partner. To investigate this, we used a quantitative self-assessment questionnaire, the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS) (1996). We wanted to investigate if such a questionnaire can measure something as complex as attachment. With a quantitative method based on the

This is a study in the field of history of ideas which places the hunger riots of 1917 in Gothenburg in the context of the struggle for women’s suffrage. A gender perspective on contemporary media shows that the presentation of women’s participation differed between the newspapers according to its political ideology. An analysis of the concepts of hunger and riots has enabled a comparison between
