Nematode control remains to be an important challenge in agricultural and health industries, thereby new, efficient and preferably natural ways to engage them are required. Dactylellina haptotyla, a nematode-trapping fungus, forms infection structures called knobs to capture, paralyze and subsequently kill nematodes. In this study, genes involved in the secondary metabolism (SM) were investigated
Background: A “Big Room”, a way of organizing design team members through integration, can be found as one of the tools in the “Lean management” philosophy that made Toyota as a car Manufacturer successful. NCC, one of the largest construction companies in the northern European construction industry, is developing their own Big Room concept under the name of NCC Project Studio to improve building
In laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) a high intensity laser pulse is used to excite a plasma density wave with an associated electric field. This electric field can be used to accelerate electrons. However, to be accelerated the electrons first of all need to enter the plasma wave. This process is called injection. In this thesis a scheme for injecting electrons into a laser wakefield accelerato
Biodiversity is a big part of the understanding of our life and its surroundings. Only a fraction of the earth’s species are known and many are yet to be found. When describing new species often both molecular and morphological data is needed to fully resolve cryptic taxa. In this study, the diversity of two Diptera families, soldier flies (Stratiomyidae) and thick-headed flies (Conopidae), have b
Examensarbetet undersöker möjligheten att låta avbördningskapaciteten – det vill säga sambandet mellan vattennivå och vattenföring – vara vägledande för bedömning av underhållsbehovet i åar och diken. Den potentiella nyttan av en sådan metod bedöms vara hög då den skulle kunna minska frekvensen av omotiverade underhållsinsatser som påverkar vattenmiljön negativt. Arbetet utgår från ett dikningsförThis master thesis project investigates the possibility of using stage–discharge relationships for evaluation of river maintenance demands. In Sweden, the potential benefit of this type of methodology is considered high, in order to prevent unnecessary maintenance activities which are harmful for the aquatic environment. The study is focused on a ditching organization in Höje River in southern Swe
Considering numerical competency in the animal kingdom, primates are thought to be the most advanced ones. Many different studies have showed that also other species such as birds, fishes and amphibians are capable of counting objects and that this ability may be one of the most sophisticated key features for survival. Some lab experiments have revealed that given sufficient amount of training man
Through different blogs, social medias and apps people are sharing pictures like never before. Sales in expensive DSLR cameras have increased, and companies in the photo industry are providing customers with lessons to help them in their quest to become better photographers. From being just an object symbol of tourism it has evolved into becoming a lifestyle for many photography enthusiasts. This

The majority of poor people live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Agriculture is one important tool for rural development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Contract farming has been widely used in agribusiness and has potential to contribute to the development process in rural areas. This paper examines the main features of contract farming in SSA and analyse the consequences of
This is a Master Thesis carried out for and done in cooperation with Getinge Water System A/S. The purpose of the thesis was to develop a new separation system for their Pure Steam Generator. The focus was set on making it smaller without affecting separation efficiency and manufacturing costs. During the projects course, objectives were altered and size was no longer highly prioritized; instead,
My primary objective in this study was to investigate the impact of the upbringing environment on the development of children’s effortful control and achievement motivation. Twenty-five SOS Children’s Village- and 33 family-raised children reported on achievement motivation, whereas SOS Village and family mothers assessed children’s effortful control along with emotion regulation as an additional
The purpose of this study was to find out how social workers handle and experience working with substance abusing women who are pregnant. We were interested in finding out how they experience their role as social workers in their professional relationship with the woman and how they look at the pregnancy in relation to motivation. Further on, we wanted to know their thoughts of how collaboration b
Background: In a perfect world, a company would not have to keep any cash at all but because of market imperfections created by information asymmetries and agency problems it has to. Previous research has suggested that a firm’s cash holding level is related to its size, growth opportunities and leverage. The Swedish market is particularily interesting to study from a corporate governance perspect
