In 1996, two searchable databases covering insect pathogens were posted on the World Wide Web: the Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens (EDWIP) and the Viral Diseases of Insects in the Literature database (VIDIL). In this paper, we describe the format and contents of EDWIP and VIDIL on the World Wide Web. EDWIP contains over 9400 pathogen-host association records, 677 negative test
Because of the high temperature applied in the steam pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials, different types of inhibiting degradation products of saccharides and lignin, such as acetic acid and furfural, are formed. The main objective of the present study was to examine the effect of acetic acid and furfural on the cellulase production of a filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei RUT C30, which
Current treatments of osteoarthritis (OA) focus on pain and loss of joint function. When these interventions fail, the destroyed joint is replaced by implants of metal, plastic and ceramics. In the future, we need to detect cartilage loss before it is too severe, prevent further loss and stimulate regrowth of lost cartilage. Research in tissue engineering can help us understand the complex require
We use randomness to exploit the potential sparsity of the Boolean matrix product in order to speed up the computation of the product. Our new fast output-sensitive algorithm for Boolean matrix product and its witnesses is randomized and provides the Boolean product and its witnesses almost certainly. Its worst-case time performance is expressed in terms of the input size and the number of non-zer
Current legislation regarding implementation of water mist system(s) requires full scale testing specific to its intended use which involves extensive funding that discourages potential users. This motivates the desire for accurate water mist simulation. The extent to this possibility is studied for a specific high pressure water mist system, “Danfoss 1910”, and its effect on controlled fires of d
In an effort to promote sustainable development work in Region Skåne, the regional government seeks to integrate Agenda 2030 into their Regional Development Strategy (RUS). This paper compares the two policies, using qualitative content analysis to problematize the prospects of policy integration. Applying theories from policy integration, policy transfer and policy diffusion, the analysis covers
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att utforska konsumentens uppfattning av online-modeföretags individanpassade marknadsföring. Konsumentens uppfattning syftar till att ge perspektiv på utformningen av den individanpassade marknadsföringen samt hur den skall förhållas i en balansakt mellan lojalitet, integritet och relationsbyggande. Metod: Kvalitativ metod med en abduktiv ansats. Vår primärdata utg
Pavements in Sweden today are often designed to have a life span of at least 20 years. This means that pavements are designed to endure all seasons for 20 years: 20 winters, 20 spring thaws. 20 summers and so on. For those occasions where a life span less than 20 years is requested, there is no standardized method to use today. Designing is instead usually done either by scaling down the results f
The aim of this study was to explore social workers’ experiences of their client relationships. More specifically we wanted to explore in which way the social workers experience that their position of power affect them in the client meetings and in what way they experience that the organization, both direct and indirect, affect the development of a good client relationsships. The method chosen for
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Jordens klimat står under ständiga variationer och förändringar, och det är inte alltid lätt att sära på orsak och verkan bland den mängd av faktorer som styr klimatet. För att kunna reda ut ursprunget till de förändringar som sker, måste de bakomliggande processerna vara väl kända. Sedan är det möjligt att genom matematiska modeller uppskatta de individuella pr
This thesis is an analysis of contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden. The objective of the study was to identify the potential and problems for Manga culture and its future in the international market. Also I try to examine the potential of Manga to establish its academic status. This research will be based on the analysis of the transition and features of Manga related with Japanese cultu
This master thesis is part of the development of a new industrial machine. The machine is a fully automated transplanting machine for the forest industry and will be used by nurseries around the world. Nurseries grow seedlings and sell them when they have grown enough to be planted in the ground. The machine being developed moves plants from a tray with small cells to a tray with bigger cells. Thi
Denna kandidatuppsats är en komparativ studie som behandlar på vilket sätt Moderaterna respektive Socialdemokraterna använt sig av de digitala kanalerna Facebook och YouTube. Partierna har använt dessa i sina respektive valkampanjer och i denna uppsats undersöker vi hur politiska budskap förmedlas i sociala medier utifrån de politiska avsikter och ideologier som styr partierna. Denna uppsats vändeThis bachelor thesis analysis and compares the way two Swedish political parties, Moderaterna and Socialdemokraterna, used the digital channels Facebook and YouTube in the election campaign 2014. The purpose was to examine the difference in rhetorical strategies for the two parties. The methods used have been mainly qualitative text and picture analysis based on theory of semiotics and rhetoric fr
The aim of this study was to examine life stories narrated in autobiographies by women, who have been the subjects of honour-based violence. The aim of this study was also to analyse which representations and consequences/implications narratives delineated have in the general comprehension of this specific kind of violence. In using a narrative method we chose to take a qualitative, and constructi
With today’s focus on the world’s environmental issues, it is important for organizations and companies to find a way to give their commitment credibility. By certification according to ISO 14001 you get an internationally acknowledged brand that is recognized by organizations and companies worldwide. But the road to certification isn’t just easy, to be able to certify your environmental managemen
The relationship between Knowledge Management (KM) and Business Intelligence (BI) is di-vided into two steps. First, differences and similarities between the concepts, and second, what interaction the concepts have within organisations. Eight qualitative interviews with ex-perts in the field of BI have been done. The most significant difference is in the knowledge sources, where KM handle explicit
A poor air quality creates problems in growing and industrialized cities. It is known that there is a significant correlation between rising air pollutions and rising numbers of people getting sick of and killed by respiratory diseases. In this study, I investigate how it is possible to use green infrastructure to increase urban ecosystem services that reduce the level of air pollution within the
