Good insect monitoring is important for both disease vector control and e?cient usage of pesticides in farming. Entomological lidar has been proven useful for detecting and monitoring insects. For every insect that transit the laser beam a backscatter signal containing species-specific information is obtained. Esti- mating the fundamental wing beat frequency of an observation is important for dete

Användningen av fasad- och vindskyddsskivor i ytterväggskonstruktioner är i dag utbredd. Skivorna är monterade långt ut i ytterväggen och utsätts således för variationer i omgivande relativ fuktighet och temperatur. På senare tid har skador såsom buktning av skivorna och sprickbildning hos skivorna uppmärksammats. Skadorna kan bero på rörelserna hos skivorna och det är således av intresse att undeThe use of boards as facades and sheathing is today common practice. Facade and sheathing boards are located far out in the building envelope and are thus subjected to variations of the surrounding relative humidity and temperature. Recently different kinds of damage on the boards have been brought to attention. The damage is varying and include cracking or warping of the boards. The damage may de

The Arctic is at the forefront of climate change and is considered to be the most at risk, warming at twice the rate of the global annual average. The environment and its inhabitants are and will be subjected to deep transformational shifts, with changes in temperature and climate having potentially worldwide repercussions. Global attention for the Arctic region has further risen by the increasing

Cold deformation of metals is known to induce roughness on their free surface. In some of the processing equipment of Tetra Pak processing systems, tubes of austenitic stainless steel 316L are used. During the production of this processing equipment, such tubes are occasionally cold-deformed. In this work, surface and microstructure characterization of alloying type 316L austenitic stainless steel

Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, located in the southern part of the country. It has become more common that established enterprises, both Swedish and foreign-owned, actively choose to relocate their businesses to Malmö. As foreign direct investment, FDI, plays an important role in a region’s globalization process, these establishments benefit the host region in several ways. Even though

When a sliding door is opened there is a sudden current peak that the electric network is subjected to. As a result of this it is difficult to design a power supply that operates the door with adequate performance while still maintaining a low power rating. In the current solution the power rating is designed for the sudden peaks and as there is no buffer of energy everything has to be taken direc

Följande uppsats studerar och redogör för hur ledare i människonära tjänster arbetar för att bibehålla eller höja sina medarbetares motivation i det vardagliga arbetet och mer specifikt vilka verktyg och tillvägagångssätt de har till sitt förfogande. För att förstå det redogör studien även för vilka ideal ledarna har kring motivation. Studien baseras på nio kvalitativa djupintervjuer med ledare i

Kollaborativ konsumtion har blivit vanligare som en följd av att antalet personer som väljer att dela resurser med andra har ökat. Konsumtionsformen innebär att konsumenter, mot ekonomisk eller annan form kompensation, ges tillfällig tillgång att nyttja resurser utan att äga dem. Studiens syfte är att bidra med en djupare och mer nyanserad förståelse kring vilken mening deltagande i kollaborativ k

While research has been focusing on the human side of mergers and acquisitions (M&A’s), research on trust specifically is still an emerging field. Conducting M&A’s and integrating companies introduces major changes for the acquired employees, making trust a critical factor to consider and to conduct research upon. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomena of trust, we stu

The purpose of this paper is to find out how parents are affected by the child’s Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD). In order to investigate, interviews have been conducted with parents with one or more child diagnosed with ADHD to find out about their general well-being as well as if they are receiving the proper support. The study takes a salutogenic, family oriented perspective and all children

Organizational politicking (OP), otherwise known as workplace politics has for many decades been a deeply subverted topic in the management literature due to its widely negative credo. This study aims to investigate OP and its uncharted utilization within the communication profession drawing upon the empirical foundation of 15 qualitative in-depth interviews with communication practitioners in var

Digitalisering av försörjningsstöd har under en tid kommit att diskuteras flitigt till följd av nya och fler implementerade digitala arbetsmetoder. Ändamålet är bland annat att effektivisera ansökan om försörjningsstöd som tidigare handlades av socialarbetare. Även e-tjänster har implementerats på allt fler instanser inom försörjningsstöd och förflyttar därmed en stor del av kommunikationen mellan

After the latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report in 2018 there has been an increased concern in society on the identified climate impact of flying. This has resulted in a rise of grassroots social movements that attempt to find alternative, more environmentally friendly means of travel. This research has more closely examined two of these social movements within the tourism

Hydrocolloids are commonly used food additives that help in modification of viscosity, texture and stability of different food products, for example, dressings, meat products, juice, dairy beverages, etc. The application for hydrocolloids is wide, but one of the problems associated with hydrocolloids is that it is difficult to disperse them homogeneously which limits its utilisation to the fullest

The study aims to develop a deeper understanding of how transformational changes can affect employees’ creative process engagement. By conducting a single case study at a technology organization that has been undergoing several transformational changes over the last decade, we have tried to reach our aim. Adopting an interpretive approach, we have investigated our research problem by conducting se

Teknisk skuld är ett begrepp som innebär att framtida kostnader kommer att uppstå för de som väljer att ta genvägar i utvecklingsarbetet. Teknisk skuld liknas ofta vid finansiella lån och be-höver inte vara negativt så länge skulden hanteras och inte blir för stor. Den tekniska skulden löses av ”code refactoring” vilket innebär att koden förändras utan att funktionaliteten gör det. Små- och mikrof

After careful review of the ongoing research on bubble detection, this thesis deals with the potentiality of a bubble in the Swedish housing market in the past decade. The methodological approach taken in this study is a mixed procedure based on two models. Based on the augmented Dickey-Fuller test along with a forward recursive regression to identify unit-root behavior, the Phillips, Wu, and Yu&#

Methodology: The methodological framework for this research is a qualitative multiple case study following an abductive approach. The agricultural industry was used as an empirical tool to conduct th
