Popular Science AbstractHow well bees can see the world?aBees such as bumblebees and honeybees are some of the most important pollinators. They pollinate by using different sensory cues from the flowers, primarily vision and olfaction. In my PhD I was interested in understanding how well bees can see while they are inspecting flowers as well as while they are performing high-speed flight maneuversBees use multiple sensory modalities to perform day-to-day tasks. Light allows them to perceive objects and the general features of their surroundings, enabling them to find food and to navigate safely across the landscape. Although both these tasks involve vision, the requirements of the visual system differ depending upon what the bee wants to achieve; locate a flower to feed from or adjust its

Welding robots that use sensors to compensate for variations in their environment pose new requirements for programming systems and for controller architectures. Tracking sensors must be programmed with the geometry of the welds and the motions of the robot. The process monitoring system must be programmed with the required process tolerances and the type of weld. Finally, the controller must be pWelding robots that use sensors to compensate for variations in their environment pose new requirements for programming systems and for controller architectures.

Researchers have emphasized the child’s perspective within social science since the 1990’s which has resulted in a shift in the view of children within research towards the recognition that  children are active, creative social agents in their own right. The main aim of this paper was to present methodological and ethical aspects regarding research with children on the basis of two propositions, tResearchers have emphasized the child’s perspective within social science since the 1990’s which has resulted in a shift in the view of children within research towards the recognition that children are active, creative social agents in their own right.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att få förståelse för hur det dubbla syftet med ungdomsråd att både lära ut om demokrati och ge inflytande åt ungdomar bör förstås utifrån syftena som ungdomar har med att vara delaktiga i demokratin. Studien operationaliseras genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sex ungdomar mellan 14-16 år från fyra kommunala ungdomsråd i kommuner med olika socioekonomiska förutsättniThe aim of this thesis is to gain an understanding about how the double purpose with youth councils to both teach democracy and to give youth an opportunity for influence ought to be understood based on the purposes that young people have with participating in democracy. The study is operationalised by qualitative interviews with six youths between the ages of 14-16 from four different municipal y

En mer flexibel och effektiv arbetsmarknad med olika lagregleringar har lett till en arbetsmarknad där allt fler bemanningsföretag hyr ut arbetstagare, ofta under kortare perioder. Att vara uthyrd arbetstagare ses ofta som en osäker anställningsform. Denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka konsultchefers syn på osäkra anställningsformer. Syftet är att undersöka konsultchefers perspektiv på osäkra anstäl

Purpose: The main objective of this thesis is to examine the effect different drivers of agency costs have on corporate cash holdings in public and private German technology firms. The analysis identifies three potential sources of agency costs. By determining target cash levels first and then obtaining deviations from these targets, the influences of agency costs are measurable. Data Set: The sam

Under 1990-talet och fram till 2007 var det vanligt förekommande att byggnader uppfördes med en så kallad enstegstätad fasadkonstruktion. Det byggdes omkring 15 000 – 30 000 bostadshus med denna konstruktion, vilka omfattar 110 000 – 160 000 bostäder. Ett stort antal av byggnaderna uppförda med den aktuella fasadkonstruktionen fick fukt- och mögelskador redan efter några år. År 2007 uppmärksamma

Assisterad befruktning utanför kroppen är en behandlingsmetod som samhället kan erbjuda ofrivilligt barnlösa par. Behandlingen sker antingen genom provrörsbefruktning (IVF) eller genom spermieinjektion (ICSI). Frågor kring fastställande och hävande av faderskap vid assisterad befruktning regleras av föräldrabalken. Enligt huvudregeln i 1 kap. 8 § FB ska en kvinnas make eller sambo som har samtycktAssisted reproductive technology for treatment of infertility, is a treatment that society can provide for couples, who suffer from involuntary childlessness. The treatment is performed either by in virto fertilization (IVF) or by sperm injection (ICSI). The Children and Parents Code regulates the establishment and annulation of paternity due to assisted reproductive treatment. According to the ma

This thesis concerns the matter regarding the impact of quantitative easing on government bond yields. The extensive use of asset purchase programmes in the beginning of this century has raised a number of discrepancies for researchers to unravel. By applying a SVAR on time series data of Sweden, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and using impulse response analysis we try to cont

Global investment decisions are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and this study examines how firm-level practices toward sustainability have the potential to attract foreign ownership. Focusing on the Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) region, the interaction between foreign direct investment (FDI) and sustainable management practices within the context of middle- to upper-middle-i

The aim of this study was to examine volunteers’ experiences of voluntary work with Roma people in Romania, and what impact it might have given the volunteers.

Collaborative governance is an approach used by governments to create policies in an equitable manner through the consensus seeking decision-making process via the collaboration of stakeholders that will be affected by the solution. However, one of the many critiques of this approach is that there are power imbalances between those involved, that instead make the outcome inequitable. Collaborative

Based on an ethnographic case study, this paper offers a typology of how, and under what circumstances, employees at a fast food-restaurant are cynical. By conducting participant- and non-participant observations and 10 semi-structured interviews, combined with a document analysis, we sought to understand the social realities of employees at Berger. Thus, we have had an interpretive approach to re

Chromatography was first described in the 1903 by a Russian scientist. Later on chromatography was almost forgotten until the 1940s when two British scientist published a study about liquid chromatography. They were later awarded with the Nobel prize in chemistry for their work in chromatography. Chromatography has since then developed a lot and nowadays several different kinds of liquid chromatog
