I detta examensarbete görs en utvärdering av ankomstprognoser för tåg för att se hur de olika prediktionskällorna står sig mot varandra och hur pass väl dessa efterspeglar verkligheten. Vidare är detta examensarbete en sprint av ett forskningsprojekt som genomförs och bedrivs på Lunds Tekniska Högskola på uppdrag av Trafikverket. Till skillnad från forskningsprojektet bygger detta examensarbetIn this master thesis, an evaluation of arrival forecasts for trains is made to see how various prediction sources compare to each other and how well these reflect reality. Furthermore, this thesis is a sprint of a research project that is carried out and conducted at Lund University of Technology on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration. Unlike the research project, this thesis is based

With the advancement of artificial intelligence, customers and users in general have been more used to having a virtual assistance method for service-related tasks. However, in the shopping centre industry, the self-help solutions mostly follow the traditional pattern of having a conciérge or a totem where you can look for the location of a particular store. This thesis aims to look at this with a

This thesis aims to test the effect of changing gender roles on fertility. Previous literature has suggested that moving towards gender equality in the household sphere can increase fertility. I test whether a more equal division of housework or gender-egalitarian attitudes affect fertility. Two country groups are analysed that are at different levels regarding fertility and female labour force pa

Exitbeskattning i svensk skattelagstiftning uppmärksammades på nytt hösten år 2017, då Skatteverket la fram ett förslag om exitskatt för fysiska personer. Skatteverkets förslag syftar till att förhindra skatteflykt och bevara en välavvägd fördelning av beskattningsrätten. Den föreslagna exitskatten innebär, mycket förenklat, att fysiska personer som i Sverige gjort orealiserade vinster på bolagsanDuring the autumn of 2017 the Swedish tax authorities presented a legislative proposal of exit taxation. The proposal aims to prevent tax avoidance and to preserve the allocation of the power to tax. The proposed exit tax implies that natural persons in Sweden who have made unrealised gains on shares can be subject to exit taxation when they move abroad. The proposal was met with great criticism a

Uppsatsen behandlar den rättsliga hanteringen av personlig och sexuell integritet i dagens samhälle. Den utreder även det särskilt skyddsvärda i den sexuella integriteten. Uppsatsen grundar sig i en teori om att sexualbrott är starkt förknippade med kön, makt och sexualitet där offret oftast är en kvinna och gärningsmannen en man. Därför anlägger uppsatsen ett feministiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen This essay focuses on personal and sexual integrity and how they, as two protective interests, are dealt with in the legislation process and in criminal law in general in today’s society. It especially focuses on the specific characteristics of sexual integrity and sexual crimes. The essay is based on a theory that sexual crimes are strongly connected to gender, power and sexuality where the victi

Digitalisation has had a profound effect on our society. Much of our daily lives revolve around digital errands that, providing we have the appropriate skills, provide us with innumerous conveniences. Unfortunately for those who do not have such competencies, these normal everyday tasks have become unmanageable and as a result of the McDonaldization of society there are very few places to which th

Idag betraktas dödshjälp enligt lagstiftaren som en klandervärd, och även straffbar, gärning i enlighet med bestämmelserna i 3 kap. 1 och 2 §§ BrB. Det innebär att om någon hjälper en annan individ att, med dennes samtycke, ta dennes liv, resulterar det i straffrättsliga konsekvenser. På grund av handlingens ”altruistiska karaktär” särskiljer den sig dock från de andra formerna av uppsåtligt dödan

The way out - a qualitative interview study about the exiting processes out of prostitution The aim of this study was to examine the process of exiting prostitution. Our questions focused on what is needed for someone to exit prostitution and what support and treatment is desirable. The chosen method was qualitative semi-structured interviews with in total seven people of whom three had personal

Prisons encourage criminal activity and have negative impacts on sentenced individuals according to studies. Meanwhile the three largest political parties in Sweden work towards implementing tougher sentences. The three largest parties have in common their position on law enforcement which disputes what the research is saying and as a consequence, the objective of achieving less criminal activity

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), ofta översatt till svenska som företagens samhällsansvar, är något som diskuterats flitigt under de senaste åren. Utvecklingen av CSR har dock pågått sedan 1950-talet och fortsätter att utvecklas än idag. Majoriteten av denna utveckling har skett inom den ekonomiska vetenskapen och inom ramen för företagens arbete med CSR. Det är först under de senaste 20 åreCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is something that has been discussed heavily in recent years. The development of CSR has been evolving since the 1950s and continues to evolve today. The majority of this development has taken place in economic science and within the framework of the companies work with CSR. It is only in the last 20 years that lawyers have seriously interested themselves in t

With rapid urbanization and an increasing share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from cities, low-carbon urban transformations are critical for mitigating climate change. Local climate networks have been recognized for their potential to govern such activities. However, less is known about how such networks are implemented and managed as well as their capacity to accelerate transformative

This is a narrative study about siblings of children with cancer and the psychological distress they undergo, during and after the treatment of their ill sibling. The empirical material consists of five phone interviews with participants over the age of 18, and with the experience of having a sibling being diagnosed with cancer during their childhood. All participants were female, most of them in

The digestion of food is known to have significant hemodynamic and metabolic effects where many have not been fully investigated. The potential effect of food intake could be interesting both from a physiological point of view and from a methodological point of view, as it could affect when blood samples are collected. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of food intake on 143

INTRODUCTION: Health promotion in everyday settings is of great importance for both individual health and organizational sustainability. A settings-based approach emphasizes how social, physical, and organizational contexts shape the conditions for health. Central principles in health promotion are participation, empowerment, and person-centeredness, which emphasize the active role of the person o

A study was undertaken to measure the effects of conspecific density on the growth, mortality and deformity rate of yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi Valenciennes during the first feeding period. Newly hatched larvae were stocked in replicate tanks at initial densities of 40, 60 and 100 ind. l(-1) until 30 d post-hatch (DPH). Live prey was administered at frequent intervals in an effort to maint

Clotting systems are required in almost all animals to prevent loss of body fluids after injury. Here, we show that despite the risks associated with its systemic activation, clotting is a hitherto little appreciated branch of the immune system. We compared clotting of human blood and insect hemolymph to study the best-conserved component of clotting systems, namely the Drosophila enzyme transglut

Aims/hypothesis Many cystic fibrosis patients are vitamin D-insufficient. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes is a major complication of cystic fibrosis. The literature suggests that vitamin D might possess certain glucose-lowering properties. We aimed to assess the relationship between vitamin D and cystic fibrosis-related glucose intolerance. Methods We enrolled 898 cystic fibrosis patients from Sw

Particle size distribution (size-range 3-900 nm) and PM10 was measured simultaneously at an urban background station in Copenhagen, a near-city background and a rural location during a period in September-November 2002. The study investigates the contribution from urban versus regional sources of particle number and mass concentration. The total particle number (ToN) and NOx are well correlated at

Introduction For the future conservation, restoration and daily maintenance the need for developing non-destructive and in-situ investigations is vital. At Lund University in Sweden an interdisciplinary research project is being held aiming at, with the help of a mobile system of remote fluorescence lidar, survey and study the facades of historic monuments, and to develop the method and its applic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en dokumentation av mina undersökningar av det rumänska ordet. Jag har som allmänlingvist undersökt några aspekter av det rumänska ordet fonologiskt, fonetiskt och semantiskt. Det finns också mycket skrivet om morfologin i rumänska. Man är väl medveten om att en del suffix tar betoning och andra inte. Men ingen har utnyttjat denna kunskap för att sysThe book is divided into three parts. All three parts dealwith the Romanian word. Part A: Word stress has not been defined in one rule before. I show how one rule can be applied to nouns, verbs and countnouns of Romanian. The principal method is taken from lexical phonology. Part B: Part A gave me the idea to investigate phonological length in the forms of infinitive, 3sg imperfect and perfect. An
