International studies have noted shortcomings in food safety knowledge and behaviour among university students. In general students do not constitute a pronounced risk group but there are wider implications. In a foreseeable future some of them will become pregnant and a majority will be responsible for vulnerable groups in their near environment. A crucial question exists, therefore, about their

In this thesis, we address the problem of locating a passive target using a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with widely separated antennas (WSA). Using a WSA geometry, the spatial diversity of the transmit and receive antennas are utilized to improve the localization accuracy. First, common numerical algorithms are examined, including the Newton-Raphson (NR) method with the maximum lik

The technological artifacts used in ship navigation have undergone substantial changes during the last decades, and real-time digital navigation is a reality with the introduction of the ECDIS. Despite the obvious merits of this new navigation mode, and the imagined improvement in safety that it theoretically should bring, ECDIS has in recent years been associated with several accidents. The term

This paper reports on the development of novel time resolved spectroscopic imaging techniques for the study of spark ignition phenomena in combustion cells and an SI-engine. The techniques are based on planar laser induced fluorescence imaging (PLIF) of OH radicals, on fuel tracer PLIF, and on chemiluminescence. The techniques could be achieved at repetition rates reaching several hundreds of kiloThis paper reports on the development of novel time resolved spectroscopic imaging techniques for the study of spark ignition phenomena in combustion cells and an SI-engine.

This licentiate thesis focuses on clustered parametric models for estimation of line spectra, when the spectral content of a signal source is assumed to exhibit some form of grouping. Different from previous parametric approaches, which generally require explicit knowledge of the model orders, this thesis exploits sparse modeling, where the orders are implicitly chosen. For line spectra, the non-l

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan lever inte bara själv, utan tillsammans med en mängd bakterier som lever i kroppen. Större delen av dessa lever i tjocktarmen. Dessa organismer är viktiga för vår hälsa. De stimulerar immunförsvaret, sänker pH i tarmen och gör det ogynnsamt för sjukdomsframkallande bakterier att växa till. Bakterierna lever i symbios med oss och med varandra. Förändringar i taThe human gut flora is important for our well-being. The gut bacteria are able to degrade and metabolize complex carbohydrates. Examples of such carbohydrates are β-mannans. β-Mannans consist of a backbone of β-1,4-linked mannose units and are present in e.g. the endosperm of legumes such as guar or carob. The composition of the β-mannan varies with the plant source. Carob and guar β-mannans are s

Energi och klimatpåverkan är ständigt aktuellt i dagens samhälle. För att motverka den globala uppvärmningen har EU tagit fram klimatmål där bland annat energianvändningen ska minska med 20 % mot 1990 års nivåer år 2020. En stor andel av energianvändningen orsakas i Sverige idag av bygg- och fastighetsbranschen där byggnadsbeståndet står för ca 30 % av energianvändningen. För att klara EU:s klim

Syftet med denna studie är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer undersöka och fördjupa kunskapen om hur före detta kriminella kvinnor framställer sig själva. Studien undersöker genom kvinnornas livsberättelser även vilka faktorer som har lett dem till kriminalitet. Genom det empiriska materialet har fyra teman valts för att analysera de kriminella kvinnornas berättelser: "utanförskap", stigm

Alberta’s Tar Sands are one of the most environmentally and socially destructive fossil fuel projects on Earth. Socio-political resistance or acceptance will determine the Tar Sands’ future: whether production continues or whether it is phased out to ensure meaningful climate action in Canada. I examined how news media communicates a “Just Transition” from the Tar Sands and proposed that their wri

Utvecklingen kring tunga automatiserade fordon framskrider, med den digitala infrastrukturen forskas det mycket om hur man ska få de fordonen på vägarna med de konventionella fordonen. Flera tester sker på dedikerad infrastruktur utan att behandla de konventionella fordonen. Det har inte genomförts många projekt i Sverige eller internationellt för att utreda vilka krav som krävs för att få automatThe development of the heavy automated vechiles is progressing at a fast rate, with the digital infrastructure allot of reasearch has been made to understand how the automated vechiles will drive on the roads with the conventional vechiles. Tests are being made on the infrastruture without the usages of conventional vechiles. Not many projcts have been carried out in sweden or internationally to i

Ålabodarna is a community located in the northwestern Skåne north of Landskrona. The small village is surrounded by Glumslöv’s Nature Reserve, which since 1986 has been a protected nature conservation area. The landscape is a rolling agricultural landscape with a cliff coast whose hiking trail is a popular destination for tourists. As the hospitality industry is an important source of income for L

In this essay I analyze the concepts security and security policy from a critical, feministic point of view. The traditional way of thinking security is state-centred and narrow with its military oriented threatening pictures and solutions. I advocate that the two concepts need a more feministic and holistic approach to be able to cope with the threats of our time and include the security for wom

English title: Song writing and gender. The purpose of this study has been to find out if there are any differences between women's and men's song writing processes, primarily in the singer/songwriter genre. I have interviewed three female songwriters and three men about their way of writing songs. The result shows mainly that there are not any gender related differences in the way songs a

INTRODUCTION: Some evidence suggests that primary anastomosis following left sided colorectal resection in the emergency setting may be safe in selected patients, and confer favourable outcomes to permanent enterostomy. The aim of this study was to compare the major postoperative complication rate in patients undergoing end stoma vs primary anastomosis following emergency left sided colorectal res
