The signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) is of great economic and social value in Sweden. Therefore it is of great importance that knowledge and experience is obtained and applied when creating a sustainable fishing industry. My study shows that the fecundity of the female crayfish is determined by her size, a larger female crayfish gives more offspring than a smaller one. In practice, most
This thesis aims to provide a suggestion to how a chair could be designed to have less negative impact on the environment. At many offices the turnover of furniture is big. By conducting interviews and study visits, it was indicated that chairs used in lunch areas and meeting rooms are the type of furniture that gets exchanged the most in office environments. Many of the existing chairs used for t
Studiens syfte var att undersöka psykoterapeuters socialiseringsprocesser, såsom dessa processer upplevdes av psykoterapeuterna 1,5 år efter avslutad utbildning. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem psykoterapeuter. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket gav fyra huvudteman: Önskan att förbättra sin nuvarande praktik, Att möta psykoteThe aim of the study was to investigate the socialization processes of psychotherapists, as those processes were experienced by the psychotherapists themselves 1,5 years after finishing their training. The material was gathered using semi-structured interviews and then analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) which generated four main themes: The wish to improve one's curr
The ongoing trade conflict has received much attention, and many politicians, as well as economists, wonder what the consequences will be. To shed some light on what the trade effects might be, we empirically analyse the trade effects of a very similar trade conflict. This paper examines the trade effects of the US safeguard of 2002 on Swedish steel exports. While the main focus of the analysis is
This thesis is a case study exploring the experiences of female immigrants living in Denmark and of suffering gender-based domestic violence. Through a phenomenological analysis, the thesis investigates the stories told by female immigrants in interviews collected specifically for this thesis as well as for the podcast project Merantis. By investigating female immigrants’ experiences of suffering
The research field of automatic music transcription has vastly grown during the 21st century, where the goal is to transcribe a polyphonic music signal into annotated sheet music. Within this field, the subproblem of fundamental frequency estimation in a piece of music is a difficult problem, e.g., due to dissimilar structures in signals from different instruments playing the same note. This becom
Egenkontroller används i princip inom alla industrier för att kontinuerligt säkerställa att processen uppnår rådande krav på säkerhet, kvalitet och utförande. Byggbranschen är inget undantag i detta. Egenkontrollen ämnar också tydliggöra vilken aktör som ansvarar för respektive del av entreprenaden vid eventuella garantiärenden och bör ses som en möjlighet för entreprenören i fråga att inspektera Self-inspections are used in almost every industry to continuously ensure that the production meet current requirements for safety, quality, and performance. The construction industry is no exception. Self-inspections also aim to clarify which entrepreneur is responsible for each part of the project in the event of warranty issues and should be seen as an opportunity for the contractor to inspect
The goal of this thesis is to explore the church father Justin Martyr’s view of the Jewish people and how he interprets their role in salvation history and their relationship with Christians. By applying a discourse analysis on Justin’s work Dialogue with Trypho these themes can be explored. By using a historical-critical lens the thesis aims to explore what Justin’s work originally meant not how
This study investigates the relationship between capital imports and non-performing loans (NPLs) in the context of the European debt crisis. The empirical analysis is based on a panel data set covering 22 countries in the European Union (EU) between year 2001 and 2014. All individual estimations in the empirical analysis indicate a significant and negative relationship between capital imports and
Den svenska aktiebolagsrätten ger upphov till ett antal intressekonflikter mellan olika parter. En av dessa intressekonflikter är mellan aktieägarna och företagsledningen, där företagsledningen kan ha incitament att driva företaget på ett sätt som strider mot aktieägarnas bästa intresse. Kompe-tensfördelningen i aktiebolag är uppställt på så sätt att ägandet och kontrol-len för aktiebolaget kan i
Intracellular aggregates of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In vivo, aggregation occurs in a complex and dense molecular environment with chemically heterogeneous surfaces. To investigate how SOD1 fibril formation is affected by surfaces, we used an in vitro model system enabling us to vary the molecular features of both SOD1 and the surfaces, as we
The standard way today to obtain measures of inflationary expectations is to use questionnaires to ask a representative group of respondents about their beliefs of the future rate of inflation during the coming 12 months. This type of data on inflationary expectations as well as on inflationary perceptions has been collected in a unified way on an EU-wide basis for several years. By now, probably
