Groundwater is a crucial source of water supply in drought conditions, and an auxiliary water source in wet seasons. Due to its increasing importance in view of climate change, predicting groundwater level (GWL) needs to be improved to enhance management. We used adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) to predict the GWL of the Urmia aquifer in northwestern Iran under various input scenario
BackgroundThe curriculum for the courses given at the music specialization of theupper secondary school’s aesthetic program in Sweden includes theconcept of artistic expression (AE). Being a criterion for assessment, nodefinition is provided by the National Agency of Education and thereexists no consensus of how to interpret artistic expression amongmusic teachers and music teacher students.Method
This paper is a part of a research project studying human interaction with lighting control devices in public indoor environments. Factors such as the perception of the environment or objects may guide human behavior, therefore the perception of lighting related objects may have an impact on the behavior toward energy saving. This paper reports the development of a questionnaire for measuring hu
I samhällsdebatten har åsikter om en mer effektiv brottsbekämpning växt fram på den senaste tiden. Debatten har utmynnat i flertalet offentliga utredningar som presenterar potentiella lagändringar. Förslagen innebär att en avvägning måste göras mellan effektiv brottsbekämpning och rättssäkerhet, eftersom dessa medför en stor risk att individens rättigheter inskränks. Syftet med uppsatsen är att bIn the public debate, opinions about more effective law enforcement have emerged in recent years. The debate has resulted in public investigations that present potential changes to the law. The proposals imply that a balance must be struck between effective law enforcement and the rule of law, as the proposals entails a great risk for the rights of the individual to be restricted. The purpose of

Grooming är en systematisk process, som för det första kränker barn och för det andra möjliggör att barn kan utsättas för fysiska övergrepp. Barn blir lurade särskilt av gärningsmän då de inte har samma skyddsmekanismer och riskmedvetande som en vuxen person. Kommunikationsteknologins framväxt under 2000-talet har utökat möjligheterna för vuxna som vill ta kontakt med barn i sexuellt syfte. År 200Grooming is a systematic process, which firstly violates children, and secondly enables children to be subjected to physical forms of abuse. Children are deceived especially as they lack the same psychological safety mechanisms and risk awareness as that of an adult. The growth of communications technology during the 21st century has increased the possibilities for adults that seek contact with ch
I mitt arbete har jag valt att studera kopplingen mellan musik och bildkonst. Min upplevelse är att musik blir förstärkt av konsten och vice versa. Jag har skrivit kompositioner som ska spelas till ljusfilmer av ljuskonstnären Åsa Wirling. Hon kommer projicera filmer på en duk, samt på musikerna. Musik talar starkare till mig genom bild och vad jag valt att studera är förhållandet mellan musik ochIn the preparations for my degree concert, I have chosen to study the connection between music and visual art. In my opinion, music becomes stronger in collaboration with other art genres and vice versa. My original compositions will be performed live, with abstract films made by the light artist, Åsa Wirling, will be projected simultaneously behind and on the band. To me, music speaks stronger th
Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera argumentationen bakom kriminaliseringen av eget bruk av narkotika, det så kallade konsumtionsförbudet, vilket utgör en del utav brottet ringa narkotikabrott som återfinns i 2 § Narkotikastrafflagen. För att analysera lagstiftarens argumentation i förarbetena ges i uppsatsen en rättsfilosofisk bakgrund till kriminaliseringens och bestraffningens rättfärdigand
Det finns många olika omständigheter som kan leda till att en entreprenör inte kan utföra sitt arbete i den avtalade tiden. Vissa omständigheter berättigar entreprenören att utföra sitt arbete vid en senare tid än den avtalade tiden. Avtalsparterna ingår ofta andra avtal med tanke på att entreprenaden ska vara klar vid den avtalade tiden. Därför kan det vara särskilt viktigt för både entreprenörenThere are various circumstances that can lead to a contractor is unable to perform the work within the agreed time.

The High-Intensity Baryon Extraction and Measurement experiment (HIBEAM) is proposed as one of the experimental stations at the European Spallation Source (ESS). This experiment will mainly focus on the neutron into sterile neutron oscillations which violate the baryon number (B) by one unit. The sterile neutrons are hypothetical dark matter candidates. The neutrons suitable for the experiment hav
Problem - Uncertainty greatly burdens innovation in tech-driven industries which has made decision-making an art-like navigation, especially within the Fuzzy Front End of operations. This has motivated previous researchers to study the effectual decision-making principles originated by Sarasvathy in regard to a wide variety of audiences such as entrepreneurs, start-ups and top management.

This study sets out to investigate the non-diegetic music in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014) in order to highlight its implicit narrative functions and meanings. The theoretical approach consists of semiotic concepts such as ‘Cognitive denotative’ and ‘Cognitive connotative’ functions by Emilio Audissino, ‘Myth’ and ‘Anchorage’ by Barthes as well as Claudia Gorbman’s ‘Connotative Cueing’.
Abstract: This bachelor thesis explores the concept of just culture within aviation, with a specific focus on European airline captains’ knowledge, understanding, and perception of their reporting obligations. Grounded in the theoretical just culture framework of safety culture, developed by James Reason (1997), the study examines whether the principles of just culture - now nearly 30 years ol
Utgångspunkten för uppsatsen är Svea hovrätts uppmärksammade dom i mål B 2457–23 (Swedbank-domen). Domen rörde Swedbanks tidigare vd, Birgitte Bonnesen, som dömdes för grovt svindleri på grund av att hon undanhållit information om misstänkt penningtvätt i bankens estländska verksamhet. Eftersom svindleribrottet sällan prövas i domstol har Swedbank-domen stor betydelse för hur verkställande direktöThe starting point of this thesis is the widely discussed ruling by the Svea court of Appeal in case B 2457–23 (the Swedbank-case). The case concerned Swedbank’s former chief executive officer (CEO), Birgitte Bonnesen, who was convicted of gross swindle for withholding information about suspected money laundering in the bank’s Estonian operations. Since swindle cases are rare, the Swedbank-case is
Prioriteringar på den kliniska nivån inom hälso- och sjukvården avgör såväl vilka patienter som ska få behandling som vilken behandlingsmetod som ska användas i det enskilda fallet. Även om sådana prioriteringar i vissa fall kan få tämligen långtgående följder för den enskilde är det i dagsläget oklart om dessa kan bli föremål för överklagande. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att undersöka hurClinical-level prioritizations in health care determine both which patients are to receive treatment and which treatment method is to be used in the individual case. Although such prioritizations may, in certain instances, have quite far-reaching consequences for the individual, it is currently unclear whether they may be subject to judicial review. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to exa
The current fashion system known as Fast Fashion (FF) is responsible for severe environmental and social impacts. Fashion democratisation has increased consumers’ appetite for new trends, leading fashion companies to design an increasing number of collections per year. Manufacturing is outsourced to developing countries, where workers’ rights and working place regulations are hardly respected. Add
Purpose: The purpose of this study was two-fold. First, we aimed to develop a framework concerning how to directly and indirectly control discrimination in the workplace using Man- agement Control Systems (MCS). Second, we wanted to examine whether this framework is practically applicable in multinational enterprises (MNE). Methodology: The first part of the purpose was achieved through conduc
During the last decades, increased concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) and colour of surface waters have been reported from northern Europe and North America. Since surface waters are widely used for drinking water production this development has been problematic for drinking water producers. Even though NOM in itself is not harmful, it can cause production of undesirable disinfection b

A modern automotive vehicle is a complex technical system, containing many electronic, mechanical, and software parts. Typically, a high-end vehicle contains 70 or more electronic control units (ECUs) on average. These are controlling a large number of distributed functions, of which many are safety-critical, and adding complexity, which is surpassing 100 million lines of code. Furthermore, the co
