Mycket har skett i jordbruket det senaste århundradet. Vi har rört oss från ett småbondesamhälle till ett mekaniserat, industrialiserat och kapitaliserat jordbrukssamhälle med en global marknad. Denna intensifiering av jordbruket har lett till förlust och fragmentering av biotoper vilket givetvis har påverkat den biologiska mångfalden negativt. När arter minskar eller försvinner riskerar vi även aModern agricultural practices have led to an intensification of the agricultural landscape which has negatively affected both biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides. In my thesis I have used ecological theory of optimal foraging to try and explain how landscape structure, landscape composition and agricultural management can explain the loss of biodiversity and how remedies can effici

The Kimbanguists, whose church is based on the healing and proclamation ministry of Simon Kimbangu in 1921 in the Belgian Congo, challenge colonially defined borders and identities in multiple ways. Anticolonialism is in the DNA of Kimbanguism, yet in a manner that contests the colonially inherited dichotomy between religion and politics. Kimbanguists draw from holistic Kongo traditions, where the

AiM To describe factors associated with an increased chance of survival among patients suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Sweden. Patients and Methods All patients suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which were not crew witnessed, in Sweden and in,whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was attempted and who were registered in the Swedish Cardiac Arrest Registry. Th

In this work we have critically reviewed the processes in high-temperature sublimation growth of graphene in Ar atmosphere using closed graphite crucible. Special focus is put on buffer layer formation and free charge carrier properties of monolayer graphene and quasi-freestanding monolayer graphene on 4H–SiC. We show that by introducing Ar at higher temperatures, TAr, one can shift the formation

Using the excess energy of charge carriers excited above the band edge (hot carriers) could pave the way for optoelectronic devices, such as photovoltaics exceeding the Shockley-Queisser limit or ultrafast photodetectors. Semiconducting nanowires show promise as a platform for hot-carrier extraction. Proof of principle photovoltaic devices have already been realized based on InAs nanowires, using

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna i Sverige idag och att kunna ge cancerpatienter en bättre behandling är därför av stort intresse. En del av detta arbete består av att förbättra förståelsen för hur en cellpopulation, eller då speciellt en cancertumör, växer. Ett medel för att öka kunskapen på området är att använda matematiska modeller. Förmågan att kunna föIt it of great importance to increase the knowledge of various cell cycle kinetic parameters and the objective of this thesis is to use stochastic models to interpret Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) DNA Flow Cytometry (FCM) derived data in order to estimate such parameters. The cell cycle is the process of growth and division that is essential for an organism to increase in size. The cell cycle consist

The power of the informal settlements– The case of Dar es SalaamMaria Isabel RasmussenHousing Development & Management – HDMLund University, Swedenmaria.rasmussen@hdm.lth.seAbstractThis paper discusses the importance of the maps in urban planning and the consequences for the cities planned within a non existence of maps context, when the power decision is derived to the dwellers. Although ma

Split Vision Urbanism HK is a design research project located at the intersection of urban governance, architectural design, and media arts. It seeks to critically address the relationship between formal and informal structures in order to uncover the hidden potentials of porous urban space, extracting new territories for design practices to engage the generative aspects of high density. Drawing o

The translational mobility of aggregates formed in aqueous sodium cholate solutions was obtained from the self-diffusion coefficient of solubilized decanol, which was determined using the capillary tube method with radioactive labeling. Combining these results with the self-diffusion coefficients of cholate ions, sodium ions, and water molecules the following quantities were determined as a functi

Användandet av s.k. kodifikationer som lagstiftningsmodell växte i popularitet som tydligast från och med upplysningstiden. Kodifikationen ämnar ge en fullständig, systematisk och tydlig bild av lagen. Modellen användes av flertalet framväxande nationalstater i 1800-talets Europa, där kodifikationen förstärkte och legitimerade centralstyret. I Sverige uppmärksammades behovet av en reformerad civilThe usage of the legislative model codification grew in popularity from the enlightenment on. The codification aims to present a complete, clear and systematic view of the law. The model was used by several emerging national states in 19th century Europe, where the codification was used to strengthen and legitimize the central power. In Sweden, the pressing need for a reformed civil law was recogn

The purpose of this study was to examine the use of remote sensing aerosol data as an estimator of ground level fine particulate matter concentration (PM 2.5). In order to examine this possible relation, daily MODIS Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data were used, collected for an entire year. The analysis involved manipulation of pollution and meteorological data, such as the PM 2.5 concentration wh

This thesis purpose is to look at British media’s coverage of Chinese developmental involvement in Africa, particularly at how the most-read newspapers in the UK have written about the situation, and how they have used media framing when reporting on it. As media can have an enormous impact on people’s perception of certain situations, this paper’s aim is to analyse the media discourse and offer a

The aim of this study was to investigate how care managers of elderly care reason about their work with partners to persons with dementia, to create a deeper understanding of dilemmas that occur in this line of social work. The method used was qualitative and the empirical material gathered through semi-structured interviews with five care managers. The inquiries focused on the view on partners’ s

When developing systems for indoor navigation it is important that the user can be led between rooms through doors and openings, and is not told to go through walls. In order to provide this navigation assistance there needs to exist a representation of the indoor environment. One alternative for this is a navigation graph, which—in this thesis—is an undirected graph that connects rooms such that

This thesis explored how French and Chinese national discourses impacted the sense of security of Chinese international students during the COVID-19 pandemic in France. On the one hand, it focused on how the everyday performance and construction of national belonging can offer ontological security to Chinese international students, by providing simple answers to one’s sense of place and self. On t

This design is located in “Small park historic district”in Shantou, Guangdong Province, China. The site is situated in the coastal area of Southeast China, which has a subtropical climate, humid, hot and rainy, and is a port city. The main forms of transport are ferries, trains, buses and taxis. Shantou is rich in landscape resources, located in an ecological corridor, with many wetlands and park

Title: Production Scheduling, a TOC approach. Authors: Carl Andersson Alenbratt and Johan Knutsson. Supervisors: Peter Berling, LTH and Anders Theander, SGSS. Background: The problem of production scheduling is how to efficiently utilize available resources in order to both effectively and efficiently meet customer demand. In a modern manufacturing environment this is a very complex issue but it i

Den här uppsatsen kretsar kring svenska kommuners drift av gym, en företeelse som gör att kommunen agerar som aktör på den öppna marknaden. I takt med att allt mer av den offentliga och den privata sektorn har smält samman så har också antalet konkurrenskonflikter som detta kan föranleda ökat. Det privata näringslivet har under årtionden påtalat att de upplever det som ett problem och att den offeThis essay revolves around Swedish municipalities' operation of gyms, a phenomenon that makes the municipalities act as players on the open market. As more and more of the public and private sectors have merged the number of competitive conflicts that this has caused has also increased. The private sector has, for decades, complained that it feels it is an issue and that the public sector is n
