I takt med att antalet geoparker och tillgängliga geologiska besöksmål ökar föds ett behov av att förstå hur dessa kan användas för att öka den geologiska kunskapen i samhället. Ett av syftena med geoparker är att främja utbildning om hållbar utveckling och bevarande av både geologiska arv och Jorden. De senaste åren har tre svenska geoparker certifierats nationellt eller internationellt och ytterAs the number of geoparks and available geological tourist destinations increases there is also a need to understand how these can be used to increase geological knowledge in society. One of the purposes of geoparks is to promote education about sustainable use and protection of both geological heritages and Earth itself. In recent years in Sweden, three geoparks have been nationally or internatio

Sammanfattningsvis kan om bestämmelserna i tysk och svensk rätt sägas att de är tämligen lika varandra i rekvisiten och deras utläggning, dock med skillnaden att de tyska rekvisiten tycks tolkas striktare. Därmed slutar de huvudsakliga likheterna, och de många skillnaderna tar vid. Inget av den tyska rättens två brott (Verleumdung och üble Nachrede) motsvarar direkt det svenska förtalsbrottet, och

Examensarbetet fokuserar på utvärdering samt testning av FLEXNET, ett Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) system utvecklat av Bertin Exensor. FLEXNET:s grund-läggande syfte är att övervaka stora områden utan att kräva omfattande resurser i form av personal som aktivt övervakar och underhåller systemet på plats. Vid utvecklandet av större system kan det ofta vara besvärligt att utföra fullskaliga test

The European union has been aggressively pushing forward with policies favoring renewable sources of energy. As a result, the share of intermittent renewables in the European power grid is rising and is expected to grow even more in the coming decade. The Swedish energy agency also forecast huge growth in wind power. This creates a parallel growing demand for electricity storage solutions for both

I merparten av alla djur och andra organismer med eukaryota celler finns de en grupp proteiner som benämns galektiner. Galektiner binder till kolhydrater som bland annat finns på cellernas yta på glykoproteiner, som har en kolhydrats ände. Galektiner använder glykoproteiner för att cellerna ska kommunicera med varandra om olika händelser inträffar exempelvis om en cell blir skadad. Galektiner haGalectin-1 is a member of the carbohydrate-binding protein family galectins. Galectins are involved in the immune system. However, in cancer growth, galectin-1 is overproduced to not make the immune system respond. Therefore, inhibitors of the protein were synthesized to make the immune system approach the cancer and respond. From previous studies and simulations on the computer program Maestro di

The trend towards greater globalisation brings the matter of cultural identity to the foreground. Transnational corporations or business networks are culturally diverse places where cultural othering – simply put, the assumption that someone is fundamentally different from you based on the cultural identity projected on- or associated with them – can significantly impact operations across the hier

Recent urban development has serious consequences such as limited space and expanded urban sprawl which lead to complex problems on the edge. Also, there is large number of urbanization where people from rural areas try to find better opportunities by moving to big cities. Furthermore, fringe area seems like an unplanned area which lose its identity and do not optimize its potentials. Those situat

Målen som ansattes för att uppfylla syThe report was authored primarily for educational aims as part of the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering (VBRN70) at Lund University. The scope of the report entails the C building at campus Valla of Linköping University, during the annually held cosplay festival NärCon. The festival presents conditions differing from the building’s intended use. The purpose of the report was to provide university

With the ever increased focus on sustainability and not least the focus on sustainability in the tourism industry this thesis has critically investigated the suitability of the Tourism Carrying Capacity method in a Danish outdoor-tourism context. The research found that there are considerable limitations and challenges to implementing a TCC approach in Denmark, and even if implemented, legally, cu

Biopharmaceuticals are a fast-growing niche in the pharmaceutical industry compared to small molecules. Even though a lot of progress has been made in recent years, the process to take a drug candidate to clinical trials can be lengthy and the selection process of high producing stable clones can be an arduous process. In this master thesis the design of new expression vectors for the production

Agricultural intensification is seen as a major threat to global biodiversity. Semi-natural grasslands play an important role in maintaining biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Biodiversity and community structure in semi-natural grasslands depends not only on local management but also on the surrounding land-use. Further knowledge on landscape-scale effects would help improving the managemen

The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. The robustness was evaluated by using a differential split sample test (DSST) base

Risk-taking behaviours are essential for animals’ survival and are often referred to as variation along the bold-shy continuum in animal personality research. Predation risk is a fundamental driver shaping individuals’ behaviours, and sex often plays an underlaying role in behavioural variation between individuals as well. Home to a post-Pleistocene radiation of Bahamas mosquitofish, Bahamian blue

The Swedish Government announced that coming fall of 2022 the school curriculum will change significantly in its approach to sexual education to include subjects such as consent, sexuality and relationships, as well as critical conversations about representation of sex in different forms of media, including pornography. To combat children's exposure to porn, child rights activists are calling

Denna rapport är utförd i kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering (VBRN70) som ges under fjärde läsperioden på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Denna rapport har granskat den handkirurgiska avdelningen på Sahlgrenska sjukhuset i Mölndal ur ett personsäkerhetsperspektiv vid brand. I kombination utav MSBs databas och de 67 bilder tagna utav handledaren Robert McNamee, samt dokument utgivna av kontaktperson Robin This report is a fire safety risk analysis about the hand surgery department of Sahlgrenska hospital in Mölndal. It is a new department since March 2021 in the top four floors of building K. Since the Covid-19 restrictions are still in effect a visit to the hospital was not an option. Therefore, it was harder to gain understanding of fire hazards, layout and materials in the building. Instead, a s

The aim of this study is to analyze the texts and images appearing on the internet homepage of the Swedish national archive - riksarkivet.se. This is done by using the discourse analysis theory, as it is presented by Laclau and Mouffe. By using this as a theory and method my goal is to highlight the way the website presents their historical perspective, as well as how they legitimize themselves as

Förlust av biodiversitet är ett av de största globala miljöbetingade problemen idag. Arter står inför ökande och potentiellt synergistiska hot från markomvandling och överexploatering av naturresurser, från globala såväl som lokala socioekonomiska krafter. Populationerna av ryggradsdjur har mellan år 1970 och 2016 visat på en global genomsnittlig minskning på 68 procent. Större djur, s.k. megafaunThe critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) has, due to previous hunting and habitat loss, diminished to a few non-viable and fragmented populations. Despite a relatively large amount of conservation efforts during the last 30 years, numbers are still declining. Accurate numbers today are unknown, since the species is rare. Information indicates that less than 100 indi

In forest biomass estimations, three dimensional (3D) canopy structure data derived from images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has shown potential due to the flexibility and cost efficiency of the method. However, little research has been done for its applicability in bioenergy forest. In this study, a method was developed with the purpose of remotely estimating

During the second half of August and the first part of September 2017, I radiotracked several European nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) around the Stensoffa area in Southern Sweden. Several locations were taken for each bird each night, including diurnal roost and nocturnal points composed by flying and resting behaviours. Being a long-distance migrator already on the way south during autumn migr
