Cultural heritage plays an important part in society since it shapes our perception of both the past and the present. As such, cultural heritage is here seen as an ideology. Religion, an important part of society as well, can also be regarded as an ideology. But what happens when these ideologies come together? The aim of this Master's thesis is to expose the underlying ideologies that govern
Climate change and the associated temperature increments are a reality, with temperature already rising in the last century. With a changing climate dissolved oxygen levels in the water will also suffer changes. The combination of changes due to alterations in the climate affects fish stocks, through alterations in the spawning-stock biomass. One of the fish stocks that are being affected is the A
Introduction: In recent years, the e-commerce industry has developed at extremely high speed all over the world and becomes the sunrise industry. Besides, there is a megatrend that customers are pursuing better experience along the whole shopping journey. Statistics show that good reverse logistics service is an efficient way to improve customers satisfaction level. Among the reverse logistics, th
In a small and confined one dimensional geometry of nanowire, even few defects can influence the performance of the devices. Main objective of this thesis is to conduct photoluminescence study of such defect states in GaAs nanowires, which we will first introduce by diffusing copper impurity atoms, in very low concentrations. In low concentrations, ideally single atom in a wire, the photoluminesc
Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in
Var och en som har blivit anklagad för ett brott åtnjuter en rätt till tystnad och att betraktas som oskyldig genom det straffprocessuella förfarandet fram till en eventuellt fällande dom. Dessa grundläggande rättigheter tillförsäkras den tilltalade genom artikel 6.1 och 6.2 EKMR. Som en följd av dessa rättigheter ligger bevisbördan i brottmål uteslutande på åklagaren, vilket medför en rätt för deEveryone charged with criminal offense has the right to remain silent and to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in criminal proceedings. The accused is assured these fundamental rights according to article 6.1 and 6.2 ECHR. Due to these rights, the burden of proof must lie on the prosecutor, which means that the accused has the right to remain completely passive during criminal proceedings.
I en allt mer energieffektiv värld så spelar allt fler av energiförlusterna allt större roll. Tidigare hade man samma förluster som idag från kanalsystemet men de totala förlusterna var större. När man nu har minskat andra förluster i huset får kanalför- lusterna en allt större betydelse i den totala energianvändningen, vilket leder till att det nu finns anledning att ta större hänsyn till dem. I To minimize energy losses becomes more and more important in a world where energy efficiency is a big priority and necessary if we want a future on our planet. The relative impact from ducting losses on the energy performance of the building was earlier so small that it was plausible to ignore them. Nowadays many of the other parts of the losses have been cut which means the air ducts now might st
Sub-meter level spatial resolution remote sensing products are essential for Precision Agriculture (PA) applications. Recent development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with imaging sensors provides opportunity to generate sub-meter level, timely, and cloud free remote sensing products. This study is a preliminarily assessment of a multi-rotor UAV with consumer grade optical camera and five spect
Även om en av de tre pelarna i hållbarhetstriaden bredvid den ekonomiska och miljömässiga är social hållbarhet (SS) den minst studerade och undersökta. Eftersom dess definition, mätning och drift är föremål för olika tolkningar, tenderar social hållbarhet att undervisa och ibland förbises. Denna förklarande fallstudie undersöker de sociala hållbarhetsaspekterna i det lilla samhället i Greenhouse pAlthough one of the three pillars of the sustainability triad beside the economic and environmental, Social Sustainability (SS) is the least studied and researched. Since its definition, measurement and operation are subject to different interpretations, SS tends to be undertheorized and sometimes overlooked. This explorative case study investigates the SS aspects of the small community of the Gre
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur bygg- och fastighetsbranschen arbetar med problematiken kring värmeböljor och höga inomhustemperaturer i bostäder. Målsättningen är att få förståelse för problematiken, utreda och bidra med kunskap inom ämnet för bostäder i befintligt bestånd respektive nyproduktion. Inledningsvis genomfördes en litteraturstudie vilken var ämnad att skapa en omfattande och The purpose of the study is to investigate how the construction and real estate industry work with the problems concerning heat waves and high indoor temperatures in housing. The objective is to obtain an understanding, to investigate and to contribute with knowledge of the problem for existing housing and for future housing. Initially, a literature study was conducted which was intended to creat
Research on InterStellar Objects (ISOs) has been done for several decades, however, the first observed ISO in the Solar system was only recently discovered in 2017. It was named 1I/'Oumuamua and was only passing though the Solar system, but this may not be the case for all objects of its kind. For instance, one could gain a bound orbit around the Sun if the right amount of nudge is acquired wh
Background: The Patient Enablement Instrument (PEI), which has been used to evaluate core ingredients in primary care consultations, has been proposed as a means of moving beyond patient satisfaction evaluations. The aim of the present study was to examine the reliability and applicability of the PEI to the Swedish context. Methods: The original PEI was translated to Swedish and included in a ques
This thesis presents a new method for design of PI and PID controllers with the level of control signal activity taken into consideration. The main reason why the D-part is often disabled in industrial control loops is because it leads to control signal sensitivity of measurement noise. A frequently varying control signal with too high amplitude will very likely lead to actuator wear and tear. For
Context. The rapid neutron-capture process, which created about half of the heaviest elements in the solar system, is believed to have been unique. Many recent studies have shown that this uniqueness is not true for the formation of lighter elements, in particular those in the atomic number range 38 < Z < 48. Among these, palladium (Pd) and especially silver (Ag) are expected to be key indicators
Factor I (FI) is a serine protease that inhibits the complement system by cleaving activated C3 and C4 complement proteins, in the presence of cofactors. Mutations in the gene coding for FI have been identified in complete FI deficient- and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) patients. The mutations were introduced in recombinantly expressed proteins, purified and analyzed in functional ass
The sharpness and thus information content of the retinal image in the eye depends on the optical quality of the lens and its accurate positioning in the eye. Multifocal lenses create well-focused color images and are present in the eyes of all vertebrate groups studied to date (mammals, reptiles including birds, amphibians, and ray-finned fishes) and occur even in lampreys, i.e., the most basal v
Coronary artery diseases (CAD) are main causes of morbidity and hospitalisation in western countries and CAD patients are at considerable risk of suffering further cardiac events. The development and evaluation of secondary prevention programmes therefore an important task. This thesis includes investigations on CAD patients admitted to a secondary prevention programme at Malmö University Hospital
