Climatic condition is what ultimately frames all ecosystems and is now undergoing dramatic change. IPCC models predict, in 100 years, a temperature increase between 2-5 ˚C and, as a consequence of warmer and wetter conditions, increased humic content in northern temperate freshwater systems. To study the impact of increasing temperature and humic content on shallow freshwaters a long-term outdoor

This research explores the project Stuttgart 21, which is going to reconstruct the main station of Stuttgart city and build new tunnels to connect the node with the high-speed line. This project has been triggering controversies over issues such as cost, risk, ecology, and public participation, and thus raised intense conflicts between supporters and opponents. Thus, this research aims to explore

This is a comparative study of symptom differences between Funktionell Family Therapy (FFT) and Treatment as usual (TAU) for compulsory care of young Swedish women, aged 16-21 years. Are there any differences in problems/symptoms between these both groups of youth that can be crucial to where they get their treatable? Current research supports and admits home-based family therapy. Department care

I denna undersökning har en stratigrafiskt högupplösande glödförluststudie utförts på senglaciala och tidigholocena sjösediment från Atteköps mosse i nordvästra Skåne. Studien har kompletterats med kornstorleksanalyser, kolanalyser, mätningar av magnetisk susceptibilitet och AMS 14C-dateringar. Undersökningen påvisar ett karaktäristiskt mönster i sedimentens sammansättning och i glödförlustkurvan,In this study, a high resolution loss on ignition analysis was performed over the Late Weichselian lacustrine sediments retrieved from Atteköps mosse, southwestern Sweden. The data set was complemented by grain-size measurements, total carbon analysis, magnetic susceptibility and AMS 14C dates. The analyzed data set reveals a characteristic pattern in lithology and the loss on ignition curve, wher

Purpose How BIM can provide added value in the early stages of a construction project Methodology: A case study has been conducted with qualitative, semi-structured interviews with relevant positions in Arkitektbyrån Design and Skanska. Theoretical perspectives: The Theory chapter starts by describing traditional planning. A description of BIM is presented. Next, an explanation of Open-BIM followe

Partial migration, when only parts of a population migrate and others stay resident, is a common phenomenon in nature. The underlying explanation for the behavioural differences within a population remains a research question and several recent studies have highlighted the role of predation. The present study is based on data collected from thousands of fish, individually marked with passive integ

Presentation of French writer Laurent Mauvignier and his work. He has written eight novels and one play so far: Loin d'eux, Apprendre à finir, Ceux d'à côté, Seuls, Le Lien, Dans la foule, Des hommes, Ce que j'appelle oubli and Tout mon amour (play). An analysis of the character of the narrative in the novels is given. Since the Algerian war (taking place between 1954 and 1962) plays a

Object tracking algorithms and motion triggered alarms are often dis- turbed by shadows. It is challenging to separate between moving objects and shadows since they have similar movement patterns and image prop- erties. In this thesis, three different approaches to detect shadows are developed and evaluated. The identified shadows determine what parts of the image not to track and what alarms to i

Caregiving is emerging as a global issue, as countries around the world are facing aging populations, including China. The intent of this study is: (1) to explore what needs Chinese urban family caregivers express, and in what way they may differ depending on certain background variables; (2) to explore what support, both formal and informal, is available for them; and (3) what changes to existing

INTRODUCTION RealQ-KML is a clinical decision support system combined with tools for quality assessment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Thanks to the introduction of modern treatment CML is a chronic disease, which during its follow-up generates large quantities of data. The aim of this study was to evaluate how this program could be used at the Department of Hematology, at Skåne University Ho

Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera verktyg för att arbeta med rytm inom gitarrundervisning. Min frågeställning är: Hur definieras och verbaliseras rytm och timing? Studiens syfte och dess huvudfråga har utmynnat i en underfråga som är: Vad påverkar utförandet av rytm i gitarrspel? Genom min frågeställning vill jag få kännedom om hur gitarrlärare och gitarrister arbetar med rytm på sitt insTitle: Guitar in time and rhythm. The purpose of this study is to identify tools for rhythm teaching in guitar education. My research question is: How is rhythm and timing defined and verbalized? The purpose of the study and the research question has resulted in a subquestion which is: What affects the practice of rhythm in guitar playing? Through my research question, I want to gain knowledge abo

Abstract Over the past decade, mass spectrometry has had an essential role in improvement of proteomics techniques. New instrument and analytical protocol developments have made mass spectrometry one of the most widely used analytical methods in quantitative proteomics. Today one of the commonly used protocols in proteomics is digestion of proteins to peptides and analysis of the peptides with li

This project investigates if access to a solar powered calculator improves numeracy and who benefits the most from the use of a calculator. A randomized field study was carried out in two different high schools in Palawan, a province in the Philippines. All participating students took two identical mathematics tests based on mental arithmetic, the first at the initial stage and the second seven we

The pressure on businesses to “give something back to society” has increased considerably in the last decades and concepts like Corporate Social Responsibility gained enormous populari-ty. While for many years companies have been distributing cash and goods to charity, attach-ing to the CSR agenda a philanthropic nuance, many companies have recently started to shift away from philanthropic giving

Denna randomiserade och replikerade studies syfte var att undersöka hälsoeffekter av 15 minuters daglig träning i medveten närvaro och tillämpad avslappning. Hälsoeffekterna mättes med skalor som skattar medveten närvaro, ohälsa, positiva och negativa affekter, livstillfredsställelse och välbefinnande. Undersökningen utfördes under 30 dagar med 234 deltagare i tre randomiserade grupper. Utan teoreThe purpose of this randomized and replicated study was to investigate the health effects of 15 minutes of daily training in mindfulness or applied relaxation. The health effects were measured by scales that assess mindfulness, health, positive and negative affects, life satisfaction and psychological wellbeing. The training period was 30 days and 234 persons participated in three randomly assigne

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Torvmossen - vår räddare undan klimathotet? Att vår jord just nu genomgår en dramatisk klimatförändring har knappast kunnat undgå någon. Förbränning av fossila bränslen tillsammans med en rad andra mänskliga aktiviteter har ökat koncentrationen av koldioxid, CO2, i atmosfären med ungefär 36% sedan början av 1700-talet. Denna ökning anses vara en viktig orsak tiDuring the last century the carbon dioxide, CO2, concentration in our atmosphere has increased because of anthropogenic emissions, mainly from fossil fuel burning. This release of carbon dioxide has caused an increase of the greenhouse effect. During millennia’s peatlands have acted as a carbon sink, taking up the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One third of the world´s total soil carbon is st

Our purpose with this essay was to make a comparative study of the methadone programme in Sweden versus Denmark. We wanted to examine the issue by illustrating the historical and recent development of the drug political policy and the growth of the methadone programme in both countries. We chose to work with the following questions: 1. What differences occur in the methadone programme if you com

This master's thesis reports on our investigation of how the public librarian's professional identity is formed and what it is formed of. We have considered factors such as: education, competence and daily tasks. In order to fulfil this aim we have used a literature study on concepts such as competence, education, professional identity and profession. We have also carried out an empirical
