In this thesis an evaluation was performed for the potential use of drone photos in Decision Support System (DSS) to detect outbreak of late blight and provide recommend treatment with fungicides. Late blight is a common crop infection on potato in Sweden. A DSS with and without information from drones were developed in three steps. Firstly, risk classification model for late blight was specified
How to select which measurements to make during a geoelectrical resistivity survey has been an active field of research for decades. Despite this techniques for optimizing the measurement sequences so as to take full advantage of the multichannel capabilities of modern state of the art equipment are scarce. In this thesis special attention is directed towards full usage of the measuring system'
På 1970-talet infördes Sveriges första förbud mot insiderhandel, med syfte att upprätthålla ett högt förtroende för värdepappersmarknaden. Sedan tillkomsten har insiderlagstiftningen kritiserats kraftigt. Den främsta grunden för kritiken har varit det låga antalet fällande domar. En anledning till svårigheten att lagföra insiderbrott är att en stor mängd insiderinformation skickas mellan närståend
Syftet med följande studie är att granska hur svensk lagstiftning hanterar nya former av integritetskränkningar som följer av den tekniska utvecklingen. Utredningen tar sikte på bestämmelsen BrB 4 kap. 6a§ om kränkande fotografering och undersöker huruvida dess syfte att skydda individers personliga integritet uppfylls. Begreppet integritet är omdiskuterat och svårdefinierat. För att möjliggöra enThe purpose of the following essay is to examine how the law handles new forms of integrity violations caused by the technological evolution. The study concentrates on Chapter 4, Section 6a, of the Swedish Penal Code concerning indecent photography. Therefore, the intension is to assess whether the regulation fulfills its purpose; to preserve privacy. The term privacy is considered difficult to de
I 40 år hade Sverige en lagstiftning som möjliggjorde sterilisering utan samtycke av de som saknade rättskapacitet. 62.888 operationer utfördes under dessa år, närmare bestämt mellan 1935–1975. Frågan jag ställde mig var huruvida samtliga ingrepp genomförts som ett resultat av myndighetstvång eller ifall det även förekom frivillig sterilisering. Mellan 1935–1941 var frivillig sterilisering inte möFor almost 40 years Sweden had a legislation that made it possible for the government to sterilize individuals, who lacked legal capacity, without their consent. 62.888 operations were performed during the years 1935 to 1975. The question I asked myself was whether or not there was any form of voluntary sterilization at all during this period. Voluntary sterilization was not possible between 1935–
Skatterätten är ett stort rättsområde, sett inte bara till dess rättsliga reglering, utan även till antalet rättshandlingar som har skatterättsliga konsekvenser. En av dessa bedömningar gäller vilket skattesubjekt, d.v.s. vilken fysiska eller juridiska person, som ska ta upp en viss intäkt till beskattning. En annan är till vilket inkomstslag en intäkt ska bestämmas. Huvudsyftet i uppsatsen är at
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur pensionerade lärare som undervisat på låg- och mellanstadiet upplever och beskriver sin tillvaro. Deltagarnas upplevelser av övergången från arbete till pension, identiteten som pensionär samt möjligheter och svårigheter under pensionärslivet och hantering av dessa undersöks. Metod: Studien är fenomenologisk. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fPurpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how retired teachers, who had worked in a primary school setting, experience and describe their lives. The study investigates the transition from working to retired life, retiree identity and possibilities and difficulties in the retired life. Method: The study has a phenomenological approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five part
The use of PCB has been forbidden since the seventies, but due to the persistence of this organic pollutant it is still found in air, soil and ecosystems. Building sealants is one important source of PCB in the society, and through the survey "PCB in sealants–Big or Small Problem?" conducted by the Swedish environmental protection agency 1997, it was revealed that PCB in building sealant
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att utöka och fördjupa förståelsen kring hur företags varumärkeskapital och dess varumärkesassociationer påverkar hur konsumenter reagerar på och bedömer ett företag vid en produktåterkallning. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med hermeneutiskt-fenomenologiskt förhållningssätt har genomförts. Studien kan ses som abduktivt med ett växelspel mellan induktion och deduktion. En teoPurpose: The purpose of this study is to expand and deepen the knowledge of how companies Brand equity and Brand associations influence customer reactions on product recalls. Methodology: A qualitative study with hermeneutic-phenomenological approach has been implemented. The study can be viewed as abductive with interplay between induction and deduction. A theoretical framework has been designed
Anti-immigration movements are currently enjoying electoral success around the world, despite attempts by incumbent parties to mitigate their influence on voters. This seeming paradox is the main focus of this paper, aiming to investigate whether attempts censor and ostracize antiimmigration attitudes actually mitigate their influence or not. Two studies were conducted: Study 1 investigated whethe
Differential measurements of Higgs boson production in the τ-lepton-pair decay channel are presented in the gluon fusion, vector-boson fusion (VBF), VH and tt¯H associated production modes, with particular focus on the VBF production mode. The data used to perform the measurements correspond to 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Two methods are used
OBJECTIVES: Non-anaemic iron deficiency (IDNA) is highly prevalent in exercising females. Although iron therapy can be used to correct this issue, its impact on exercise performance is equivocal. Our aim was to assess the efficacy of intravenous iron therapy on exercise performance, fatigue, mood states, and quality of life in recreationally active IDNA females of reproductive age.METHODS: Twenty-
This chapter challenges the widely held belief that more consumer choices lead to better outcomes. This chapter explores how the proliferation of options, while seemingly empowering, can actually lead to decision paralysis, dissatisfaction and unsustainable consumption patterns. The myth is rooted in classical economic theories that equate more choice with freedom and personal satisfaction, but ps
The digital era has brought about new security challenges. Security in the digital context is neither border centric nor a traditional security threat that can be contained into individual behaviour or which respects traditional borders. It may affect both privacy issues at the individual level and state security. What does this mean for the tools and adjudicative methods of EU law which are used
Bees are pollinators of both wild and crop plants with significant ecological and economic value. However, recent studies report declines in their populations, particularly in agricultural landscapes. Compared to conventional farming, organic agricultural management is considered less harmful to biodiversity. Despite this, studies addressing wild bees in organic systems remain limited. In this stu
While women comprise the majority of employees in Chinese Environmental NGOs (ENGOs), little is understood about how they navigate leadership within gendered and politically constrained organisational structures. The gap in understanding gendered dynamics in environmental organisations persists, particularly in non-Western contexts such as China. This study focuses on female leaders in Chinese ENG
Modern telecommunications equipment places increasing demands on energy efficiency, driven by both environmental concerns, rising electricity costs, and the strain on national power grids. This thesis investigates practical ways to reduce power consumption in radios, particularly in the downlink digital signal processing chain. Our findings were tested on two platforms, a validation board and an i
When discussing industrial maintenance, human error is a topic that easily comes to mind. Slips, lapses and mistakes due to hazardous settings of critical conditions referred to as Performing Shaping Factors (PSFs) introduce unforeseen and unanticipated risks. Unlike several tools to date, the methodology presented in this master thesis is thought to serve as an easy and fast way to identify risks
As a consequence of increased knowledge about health and changed social structures, people tend to grow older and the life expectancy on average keeps on getting higher (Hemström, 2012). The life expectancy of half of the girls and boys born in Sweden during 2011, is 93 respective 91 years old. Today, it is more common that people pass away in their own homes or in retirement homes, than in a hosp
