While covid-19 has limited our travels, so many people around the world travel for professional purposes whether they work for a large corporations, on oil rigs, in the military, or in remote research bases. How do these individuals find comfort while they are abroad? After interviewing two different people who travel for professional purposes it was found that accommodation doesn’t provide the be
Vilken plats har skönlitterärt skrivande i dagens svenskämne i gymnasieskolan? Nästan ingen, av styrdokumenten att döma. Det skönlitterära skrivandets roll har successivt tonats ner, och i dag finns det knappt omnämnt i styrdokumenten. Detta arbete har dels undersökt svensklärares inställning till skönlitterärt skrivande och i vilken grad de inkluderar det i sin undervisning, dels vilka delar i stWhat place is there for creative writing in the subject of Swedish in upper secondary schools? Judging by the policy documents, almost none. There has been a gradual devaluation of creative writing, and today’s policy documents barely make mention of it. This paper has on the one hand examined Swedish teachers’ attitudes to creative writing and to what degree they include such writing in their ins
First, the thesis establishes that non-refoulement obligation is jus cogens norms. Before establishing the peremptoriness of the given legal norm, the account of the concept of jus cogens is proposed within which such elevation occurs. The argument suggests that jus cogens non-refoulement obligation complemented with the various conceptual and normative objections undermine the conceptual viabilit
The production of pi(+), pi(-), K+, K-, p, and (p) over bar at mid-rapidity has been measured in proton-proton collisions at root s = 900 GeV with the ALICE detector. Particle identification is performed using the specific energy loss in the inner tracking silicon detector and the time projection chamber. In addition, time-of-flight information is used to identify hadrons at higher momenta. Finall
Correspondence problems are of great importance in computer vision. They appear as subtasks in many applications such as object recognition, merging partial 3D reconstructions and image alignment. Automatically matching features from appearance only is difficult and errors are frequent. Thus, it is necessary to use geometric consistency to remove incorrect correspondences. Typically heuristic meth
4-Substituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-diones have been synthesized and tested as substrates in the enantioselective reduction with baker's yeast to give the corresponding hydroxy ketones. It was found that the derivative bearing a TIPSO group at the 4-position was not reduced at all while that with a TBDMSO group gave 87% yield and 46% ee. Other 4-oxy functionalized derivatives were reduced with
In this article we probe the effect of democratization on the state's administrative capacity. Using time-series cross-section data, we find a curvilinear (J-shaped) relationship between the two traits. The effect of democracy on state capacity is negative at low values of democracy, nonexistent at median values, and strongly positive at high democracy levels. This is confirmed under demanding sta
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the decay channel H -> ZZ(()*()) l(+)l(-)l'l'(-), where l = e, mu, is presented. Proton-proton collision data at root s = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector and corresponding to an average integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb(-1) are compared to the Standard Model expectations. Upper limits on the production cross section of a Standard Model Higgs boso
This paper presents an offline frequency-domain nonlinear and stochastic identification method for equivalent model parameter estimation of high-voltage pulse transformers. Such kinds of transformers are widely used in the pulsed-power domain, and the difficulty in deriving pulsed-power converter optimal control strategies is directly linked to the accuracy of the equivalent circuit parameters. Th
Photosynthesis is a sustainable process for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. Thylakoids in energy-transducing photosynthetic membranes are unique in biological membranes because of their distinguished structure and composition. The quantum trapping efficiency of thylakoid membranes is appealing in photobioelectrochemical research. In this study, thylakoid membranes extracted fr
Hur resonerar elever och lärare på musikestetiska programmet kring respons i musikundervisningen? Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen om respons i musikundervisningen på estetiska programmet samt få en inblick i hur elever hittar motivation efter respons från sina lärare. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ undersökning som är formad efter intervjuer med elever och lärare på estetiska progrWhat are the thoughts and opinions of teachers and students at the arts programme regarding response in music teaching? The purpose of this study is to increase awareness about response in music education in the arts programme in Swedish upper secondary school, and to gain insight into how students find motivation after receiving response from their teachers. This essay is based on a qualitative s
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagoger ser på begreppet rytmik och på integrering av rytmik i sångundervisningen. Metoden som tillämpades var en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning där fem rytmikpedagoger, som också undervisar i sång, intervjuades. Resultatet visar bland annat att rytmikpedagogerna ser på rytmik ur två perspektiv; ett rytmikpedagogiskt och ett rytmikmetodiskt. GenoTitle: Movement of singing - A study of educators' in eurhythmics approach to the integration of eurhythmics in vocal lessons. The purpose of this study was to examine how the eurhythmics teachers look at the concept of eurhythmics and the integration of eurhythmics in vocal lessons. The chosen method was a qualitative interview study where five educators in eurhythmics, who also teach singing
The pattern separation process, where sensory input is given an individual place in memory without compromising or overwriting older memory representations, is highly sensitive to small changes in input, and as the similarity between items increases so does pattern separation demand (Clelland et al., 2009; Yassa & Stark, 2011). This experiment tested performance on a pattern separation-depende
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturen i nordöstra Kenya är till största delen naturlig, semiarid, på gränsen till öken inom vissa områden. Studier av denna naturliga vegetationstyp är av betydelse då det gäller att förstå ekologin i regionen och för att kunna utvärdera markens lämplighet för bevaring gentemot utveckling i framtiden. Stora delar av vegetationen inom studieområdet står idag unIn this paper coarse spatial resolution, high temporal frequency satellite data from the NOAA/AVHRR system are presented and analysed to demonstrate their utility for monitoring vegetation in a semiarid environment and for describing its seasonal dynamics. The study area consists of four districts in the North East of Kenya, namely Marsabit, Samburu, Mandera and Wajir. Normalized Difference Vegeta
This study was made to see how resettlement refugees from Iraq who came to Germany in 2009 experienced the reception. The study was made with grown-up, mentally and physically healthy refugees from Iraq, who through UNHCR came to Germany. Through interviews information was gathered and the outcome shows advantages and disadvantages in the reception Germany provided. Overall the result shows that t
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate which model for forecasting the variance covariance matrix is the most accurate. This is important because the more accurate forecast the more correct pricing of derivatives with several underlying instruments. Methodology: Using currency data of EUR/USD and GBP/USD five different variance covariance matrix forecasting models are used to price sim
