In England saltmarshes account for less than 0.5% of the land area, however they have a very high biodiversity value and provide significant economic and social worth. Climate change, continuous coastal urbanisation, and port development are a serious concern for coastal protection planners, city councils and the government. It is a challenge for these decision makers to balance the social, econom
The energy sector's dominant share of the anthropogenic environmental and climate impact makes the subject highly relevant for sustainable development. The paper aims to shed light on what influences energy strategy work in order to contribute to perspectives on which knowledge is prioritized. My method was of an ethnographic approach, where I was given the opportunity to do an internship at
Today we wear and tear objects and materials, in line with the linear economy. By instead reusing, the need for new production decreases, and so the extraction of raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions and generation of waste. By increasing the reuse rate, we can strive towards a circular economy and climb EUs waste hierarchy. The aim of this master’s dissertation was to study different business
Today, an increasing portion of the world's population is moving from one country to another every year to work. In recent years there has been a feminisation of labour migration where women from developing countries respond to shortages in care work in developed countries, as domestic workers. Hong Kong is today considered one of the best places of destination for foreign domestic workers. Ev
This bachelor thesis and project were done at Combitech AB in Helsingborg where the company had shown a previous interest in a rule engine solution for placement in the cloud. Part of the project was to identify an existing rule engine that could be further developed and implemented into a larger solution also adhering to any requirements presented by the target cloud system. Several candidates we
Purpose: To classify the severity of a case of prostate cancer, physicians use the 10-grade Gleason score. The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to study how small dimensions of image crops affect the Gleason 5-classification capability of a machine learning system. In this thesis, two aspects of dimensionality have been taken into account when creating image crops, the image crop size and the de
Ett avgörande om vårdnad, boende och/eller umgänge som inte följts kan verkställas enligt 21 kap. föräldrabalk (FB), förutsatt att det inte är oförenligt med barnets bästa. I sådant fall kan beslutet förenas med tvångsmedel i form av vitesföreläggande eller polishämtning. En ansökan om verkställighet ska avslås om det finns en risk att barnet far illa eller om barnet motsätter sig verkställighet oA decision on custody, resident and/or visitation that has not been followed can be enforced in accordance with Chapter 21 in the Children and Parent Code (föräldrabalk (1949:381)), provided it is not incompatible with the best interests of the child. In such a case, the decision can be combined with coercive measures in the form of an imposition of a conational fine or police retrieval. An applic
Domestic violence is an extensive social problem that family law secretaries are familiar with. Yet there seems to be a blindness and ignorance to subsequent violence that is not established within the practice as a matter of course and is not given any decisive importance in family law secretaries' assessments. The purpose of our study is to understand how family law secretaries reason about
This paper focuses on constructing models that predict a Value at Risk (VaR) estimation for financial portfolios using hierarchical clustering and copulas. Traditional VaR models often assume linear dependencies and normal distributions, which can be poor assumptions for financial data - especially during extreme market events. This paper introduces a non-linear modeling approach using copulas to
Lean- production have for some decades been a standing feature in the private sector. In recent years has the use of the method gained recognition also in the public sector where civic organizations want to achieve the huge effective gains promised by the Lean-literature. Research has show that Lean-implementation on public organizations can have positive outcomes for the workplace as a whole. He
The market for electric bicycles has grown extremely and developed rapidly in recent years. To enter such a market with a new product, the development process has to be fast, and throughout the process, feedback from future potential customer(s) should be sought in order to achieve the best possible market acceptance. The article presents the design process of a pedelec e-bike central drive system
Uppsatsen behandlar brottsoffers rätt till ersättning för kränkning enligt SKL 2 kap 3§ och 5 kap 6§. Denna typ av ideell ersättning har rötter långt tillbaka i historien men har kraftigt ökat sin rättsliga betydelse de senaste 25 åren. En svängning i den politiska debatten har under denna tid lett till stadigt ökande ersättningsnivåer och ny lagstiftning. Uppsatsen presenterar brottsoffers rätt tThe report deals with victim rights to recover damages and state compensation for criminal violations under SKL Chapter 2 § 3 and Chapter 5 § 6 in Swedish law. The legal significance of monetary compensation for non-material or non-economic loss caused by criminal violations has increased rapidly in Sweden in the last 25 years. During this period a change in the political climate have resulted in
Who cares about the people with a gambling abuse? Gambling abuse is a problem that has been getting more and more attention in the media and through the people that work with the subject. The Swedish state has monopoly on gambling in Sweden but the Internet makes it possible for international gambling companies to reach customers in Sweden. This in return makes it harder for the Swedish state and
BACKGROUND People who are religiously unaffiliated (including self-identifying atheists and agnostics, as well as those who say their religion is "nothing in particular") made up 16.4% of the world's population in 2010. Unaffiliated populations have been growing in North America and Europe, leading some to expect that this group will grow as a share of the world's population. However, such forecas
We have carried out quantum mechanical (QM) and QM/MM (combined QM and molecular mechanics) calculations, as well as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the binding of a series of six RAPTA (Ru(II)-arene-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1] decane) complexes with different arene substituents to cathepsin B. The recently developed QM/MM-PBSA approach (QM/MM combined with Poisson-Boltzm
Arid soils in Egypt display large variability in solute transport properties, causing problems in soil management. To characterize this variability, dye infiltration experiments were conducted on four plots representing three main soil types in northeastern Egypt. The plots represented both cultivated and uncultivated land use. The observed dye patterns displayed a large variability and especially
I denna uppsats undersöks de möjligheter en våldsutsatt kvinna har att fysiskt åtskiljas ifrån en våldsutövande manlig partner i Sverige respektive Finland. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger vid sammanboende par. Genom studien har jag sökt efter att identifiera brister och styrkor i ländernas lagstiftning, för att sedan analysera huruvida och i vilken utsträckning lagstiftningen uppfyller ett våldsförebyggIn this thesis I examine what legal options a female victim of domestic violence has at her disposal in order to be physically separated from the perpetrator in Sweden and Finland, respectively. The subject of examination is a man and a woman in a relationship that are either married or romantic cohabitants. Through this study I have strived to identify the strengths and weaknesses in both the Swe
A model of (Formula presented.) atmospheric transport in vegetated canopies is tested against measurements of the flow, as well as (Formula presented.) concentrations at the Norunda research station located inside a mixed pine–spruce forest. We present the results of simulations of wind-speed profiles and (Formula presented.) concentrations inside and above the forest canopy with a one-dimensional
