The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. The robustness was evaluated by using a differential split sample test (DSST) base

The unbalanced supply and demand will raise the distribution and transportation problems. Lateral transhipment (called stock redistribution) between two Customer Centres (CC) has been implementing to reduce unhealthy inventories. The two significant issues are the inefficient process and unnecessary cost of reactive lateral transhipment. The searching and communication processes can take longer th
Bakgrund: I början av 1900-talet introducerades trädgården som terapiform för personer med psykiska problem och depression. Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande problem som står för majoriteten av alla sjukskrivningar. Senare forskning har visat att trädgårdsterapi bidrar till ökat välbefinnande, livskvalité och arbetsförmåga. Studier som sammanställer effekterna av trädgårdsterapi vid rehabilitering förBackground: In the early 20th century, the garden was introduced as a form of therapy for people with mental health problems and depression. Mental illness is a growing problem that accounts for most of all sick leave. Recent research has shown that garden therapy contributes to increased well-being, quality of life and ability to work. However, studies that compile the effects of garden therapy i
The exponential-6 (exp-6) potential is an intermolecular pair potential that is widely used to model fluids at high densities. The path from molecular interaction to equation of state (EOS) for a gas is not straightforward however. Monte Carlo methods and molecular dynamics give accurate results but are too slow for demanding applications like detonation modelling or numerical simulations of react
When installing multiple security cameras the cable management can be a struggle. Historically cameras need one cable for power and one for communication, however, advancements in power over ethernet have reduced the number of cables down to one. Installations can still prove difficult and costly as they have to be done by professionals, especially when setting up a large number of cameras. Once t
The following study was conducted in order to answer the following questions: 1) Why do students start taking drugs in early adulthood?, 2) What does the ratio between students with early versus late onset drug use look like?, 3) Do students know where they could get professional help in case of drug use- related negative outcomes? and 4) What do they think of the healthcare available? Using the s
This text serves as a fresh approach to the study of Roman influence on the Scandinavian region. This is achieved through the medium of various bronze statuettes, both from the Roman Empire itself as well as in the form of locally-produced anthropomorphic figures. The study concentrates on four specific regions of Europe; Italy, southern Britain, Denmark, and southern Sweden. All of these areas ma
Det tomma arvet, eller det tomma kulturarvet, har ingen självklar lösning vad gäller dess återaktivering och framtid. I mitt examensarbete undersöker jag om det går att skapa en applicerbar modell för kulturarv, som även med små eller inga medel resulterar i en värdeökning. Med min modell som hypotes inleddes processen med att successivt testa den på ett obrukat kulturarv. Det gamla observatorietAn optimal solution regarding reactivation of an empty cultural heritage does not exist. I am investigating the possibility of creating a model that, with few or no resources, can be applied to an abandoned and empty heritage. I chose to apply my model to the old observatory next to Lund’s city park. It is a 19th century building that has been emptied and in some sense forgotten since the astrono
Purpose – This paper aims to improve the understanding how entrepreneurs practice inexpensive marketing by utilising human and social capital instead of financial resources. Methodology – This study was conducted following a qualitative methodology. The data was collected in seven semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs who have made use of inexpensive marketing concepts and methods. We ana
Most of classic psychedelic literature indicate its potential benefit to society and the environment during a time of rapid environmental degradation and climate change– hinting its potential role to sustainability and socio-ecological transformation. There is virtually no study drawing the explicit interlinkages of classic psychedelic research to sustainability science but it is observed that the
Förpackningar är viktigare än vad man kan tro! De skyddar den värdefulla produkten från oönskade bakterier som kan göra att den blir dålig. För att drycken ska hålla längre så måste förpackningen behandlas för att ta bort allt som kanske kan skada personen som dricker innehållet. Man ser också till att bakterier utanför förpackningen inte kan ta sig in. Detta innebär att förpackningen är aseptisk.Sealing of the transverse seal (TS) represents a fundamental step in the assembling of aseptic packages. To prevent the package from being penetrated by gases and pathogens the TS must be tightly sealed. An understanding of the conditions that influence the flow and deformation of polymers is instrumental to designing sealing systems that are reliable and effective. This thesis was focused on cons
Attenuation of the microwave signal used in the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to interaction with building structures complicates the task of accurate indoor positioning. For this reason, research on alternative approaches is being performed at universities and companies worldwide. The Global Indoor Navigation (GIN) research project in Lund is one such initiative, where the main goal is to p
Context Since the time of Tycho Brahe astronomy has been an observing science defined by the quality of its instrumentation. The introduction of primitive telescopes by Galileo in 1609 began a period of development of ever-larger telescopes with greater measuring precision. Refracting telescopes were soon overtaken technologically by reflecting telescopes. The epitome of this development is the bu
This thesis thesis explores what desires and motivations lay behind employees’ succession to managerial positions in a store environment. Previous research focuses on how to develop good leaders, rather than how to make people want to become leaders, which is why this is an important topic. The method used is a qualitative case study at IKEA in Sweden, where a combination of qualitative questionna
Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis). DaThe aim of the study was to approach how psychodynamically oriented therapists who work with children with traumatic experiences, experience their clinical reality and to gain an insight into how psychodynamic child therapy can make a difference for these children. The study is based on a qualitative basis and is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenologica
Vilka svampar renar ditt vatten? ”Renhet” kanske inte är det första ordet du kommer att tänka på när bakterier och svampar kommer på tal. Faktum är dock att dessa är viktiga i de processer som gör att ditt dricksvatten är säkert och gott. För att säkerställa dricksvattnets kvalitet används på många platser långsamfilter; bassänger fyllda med sand där många olika sorters mikroorganismer hjälper tiSlow sand filters (SSF) are biofilters which utilize the metabolic potential of complex biofilms to remove contaminants, such as harmful chemicals, organic carbon and pathogenic bacteria, from drinking water. This study presents the first analysis of fungal internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences in samples from two newly constructed and one established SSF, all of which underwent a removal
Its carbon sink potential as well as soil fertility benefits make organic carbon a soil variable for which reliable quantification methods are sought. This thesis work aims at investigating the possibility of adapting a large soil spectral library to build models for SOC predictions with remotely sensed, multispectral data. For this purpose, the continental-scale LUCAS topsoil database was spectra
Tidigare forskning har visat att personer som skadar sig själva tenderar att uppleva mötet med vården negativt. Vårdpersonal kan ha negativa attityder till självskadebeteende, och deras möten med patienter kan väcka känslor av frustration, uppgivenhet och oro, vilket kan påverka bemötandet. Studier har framförallt gjorts med sjuksköterskor och läkare, och i betydligt mindre omfattning med psykologPrevious research has shown how individuals who injure themselves tend to have negative experiences from their encounters with health services. Health service staff may have negative attitudes towards Non-Suicidal Self-injury (NSSI) and their encounters with patients may evoke frustration, hopelessness and worry, which may influence their behavior towards patients. Studies have mainly focused on n
