The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, is a serious pest of honey bees, Apis mellifera, damaging the quality of honey produced and creating a problem for bee industry. Mating behaviour in this species takes place with the help of a male-released pheromone tracked by females over long distances. Previously, the male pheromone was identified to be a blend of nonanal and undecanal but this aldehy

På senare år har polisen i Sverige börjat använda sig av spårhundar i sitt arbete för att säkra biologiska spår vid brottsplatser. En hund har tusen gånger mer känsligt luktsinne än människan vilket betyder att hundar kan hitta små biologiska spår, ofta blandade med jord, som är omöjliga för människan att se med blotta ögat. Det ökande användandet av spårhundar har lett till att fler biologiska prThe aim of the project was to investigate and evaluate different extraction methods for detection of human DNA in environmental crime scene samples containing soil. Soil is a complex and heterogeneous material consisting of several inhibitory compounds, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from such samples. The investigation included the evaluation of 19 different extraction methods based on s

This report is made in order to evaluate the fire safety for the personnel and patients at Ystad hospital. A risk analysis was conducted, focusing on hazards related to fire, and on the client's wishes it was determined that the analysis should be done on the section of the hospital called building 17 and that the writers especially should consider the risk of arson. Through the analysis two d

This master’s thesis, departing from the work done by Peter Trudgill and Paul Simpson, aims at widening the scope of research on the identity performance of British rock and indie musicians by taking into account the influences and intersections of local and global social contexts. It not only analyzes the musicians’ accents but also focuses on their lyrics, music videos and statements in intervie

Det är vanligt förekommande att stater utför åldersbedömningar av ensamkommande barn när de ansökt om internationellt skydd. Då Sverige är den medlemstat som tar emot flest ensamkommande flyktingbarn i Europa är det särskilt vanligt att åldersutredningar behöver utföras varvid det ämnar sig att närmare granska Sveriges tillvägagångssätt för en sådan åldersbedömning. Syftet med denna uppsats är attIt is common practice for States to conduct age assessments of unaccompanied minors when they lodge applications for international protection. As the Member State receiving the most unaccompanied minors in Europe, the practice is particularly common in Sweden and deserving of a closer examination. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the age assessment of such unaccompanied children seeking in

Min uppsats syftar till att analysera inskränkningar i varumärkesrättslig ensamrätt, där import av de varumärkesskyddade varorna är tillåten mellan medlemsstater utan att rättsinnehavarens tillstånd anskaffas. Den varumärkesrättsliga ensamrätten konsumeras när rättsinnehavaren för ut varan på marknaden själv eller med innehavarens samtycke. En så kallad regional konsumt-ion har vuxit fram genom EUMy thesis aims to analyze the restrictions of trademark proprietor’s exclusive right, where imports of the trademarked goods are permitted between Member States without the authori-zation of the trademark proprietor. A so-called Community exhaustion has emerged through the European Court of Justice, inter alia, Silhouette case and cover all countries in the EU. EU Court's interpretation confir

The aim of this study is to analyse the Swedish national curriculum from a Marxist perspective. I aim to examine how a Marxist reading can aid in our understanding of not only the document itself and the ideological views portrayed in it, but also the implications this has for English teachers in Sweden today. The schooling which takes place in classrooms, as well as outside of them, is political

In modern times, the world has experienced the rise of a range of different large, well-coordinated social movements with the goal to make the world a better place for oppressed societal groups. One of these movements is the animal activist movement, with the objective to change the societal norms regarding facilitating and exploiting cetaceans through captivity at zoos- and marine mammal parks et

Klimatförändringar har skett i alla tider har haft förödande effekter för livet på jorden. Nu för tiden har man hittat kopplingar mellan miljöproblemen och människans aktiviteter (IPCC 2013, 7). All utveckling påverkar naturen på ett eller annat sätt, det gäller också turismutveckling som till exempel bidrar med mer transporter till en plats. Då kan ett hållbart tillvägagångssätt vara en lösning fA sustainable approach could be a solution for the tourism industry to reduce its climate impact. The aim of this thesis was to develop a sustainable tourism strategy, in collaboration with Swedish region Halland. The sustainability concept was set against the developed tourism strategy, both on a theoretical and practical level. The strategy was compared to other sustainable tourism strategies a

En grundläggande princip inom konkursrätten är att konkursboet inte ansvarar för gäldenärens tidigare förpliktelser. Miljörätten däremot är uppbyggd runt syftet att kunna utkräva ansvar från en stor krets av fysiska och juridiska personer, detta i syfte att skydda nuvarande och kommande generationer. Det problematiska är att kombinera dessa två lagstiftningar och syften. Syftet för den här framsA fundamental principle within the bankruptcy law is that the bankruptcy estate is not responsible for the debtor’s prior obligations. The environmental law is built around the purpose of enabling the enforcement system to demand accountability from a large group of corporations and persons. This, for the purpose of protecting present and future generations. An important matter is how to combine t

Freezing is a method used to preserve food for long periods of time by reducing the rate of naturally occurring reactions and growth of microorganisms. However, some irreversible quality changes, both physical and chemical, can take place during the freezing step. After being frozen, the products are stored until thawed and consumed. This thesis studies innovative freezing technologies to understa

This thesis defined and investigated a general workflow based on model-based design using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), involving Hardware-in-the- Loop (HiL) simulation. The thesis was a direct continuation of Sara Gunnarsson’s master’s thesis "Evaluation of FMI-based Workflow for Simulation and Testing of Industrial Automation Applications", where a Software-in-the-Loop (SiL)

Masshanteringsfall är ett uttryck för situationer där en näringsidkare sköter en stor mängd av likartade ärende mot konsumentkollektivet. Ärendehanteringen sker i enlighet med rutiner som näringsidkaren själv bygger upp, i syfte att minska sina transaktionskostnader. Konsumenten använder däremot det system som marknadsförs av näringsidkaren, utan att ha djupa kunskaper om hur näringsidkaren har ko”Masshanteringsfall” is an expression of situations where a business owner handles a large number of same cases towards consumers. Examples of such cases is payment by credit card, demand for payment, leasing of different objects etc. A business owner often has a defective system about evidence of different circumstances in such cases. A business owner cannot prove, for example, if a consumer has

Sexual violence is a frequent problem in armed conflict. For twenty years, multiple measure have been adopted to stop this conduct but it is showing very little result. At the same time, there is a lively debate on several areas concerning sexual violence in armed conflict. This thesis analyses two of these areas of debate in order to find what the Community of States is doing wrong. Before enter

This study analyze how the exploitation of agricultural land affects Sweden's ability to remain self-sufficient in grain, and the consequences that arise when agricultural land with the highest classification is disappearing the fastest. As the population increases the food production must also increase at the same pace. An important crops for Sweden's food supply is grain and it stands fo

Purpose of this paper: The U.S. and European way of planning road-freight transport are different. These differences pose an interest of analyzing, assessing and evaluating. Transport planning in the U.S. is far more centralized and integrated than in the de-centralized inefficient European way. The aim of this paper is therefore to improve transport planning in Europe by analyzing the U.S. best-p

När ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande avseende ett svenskt bolag framförs är det vanligtvis förhandlat med målbolagets styrelse och med dennes stöd. I de fallen så inte är fallet brukar budet benämnas fientligt, d.v.s. att det inte stöds av målbolagets styrelse. Frågan uppkommer då vilka åtgärder en bo-lagsledning kan vidta för att antingen minska risken att bolaget blir föremål för ett fientligt bWhen a public offer is presented regarding the shares of a Swedish listed company, it’s usually been negotiated with the target company’s board of directors and has its support. When an offer lacks the support of the target company’s board of directors, the offer is considered hostile. Thus, the question arises what kind of actions the target company’s management can take in order to either minimi
