The occurrence of wildfires is greatly dependent on an ecoregions typical climate and land cover type. To investigate whether climate or land cover primarily lead to wildfires in the conterminous United States, wildfire events from 1999- 2010 are analyzed. Wildfires are divided into years and eco-divisions, a sub-form of ecoregions. To assess whether warmer and dryer divisions are more severely a
The rules of responsibility regarding the working enviroment during the production in the construction industy makes it hard to demand responsibility when accidents occur even when there are flaws in the working enviroment. Flaws in the working enviroment is a big problem on construction sites and there are alot of accidents but at the same time only a few lead to conviction. The way cnstruction s
Företagens minutiösa och komplicerade skatteupplägg innebär ofta att företag erhåller en av lagstiftaren icke avsedd skatteförmån. Den uppfinningsrikedom företag uppvisar när det kommer till kringgående av skattelag är i princip gränslös. Samtidigt kan inte lagstiftningen i samma utsträckning täppa igen luckorna i lagen. Detta medför att det finns ett behov av effektiv och omfattande skattelagstifAggressive use of tax avoidance by multinational companies results in a reduced tax burden unintended by the legislator. The creativity with which companies circumvent tax law is virtually boundless. At the same time the legislation struggles to correct the loopholes, resulting in the need for effective and extensive anti-tax law. The essay will first study the different methods of preventing tax
This study deals with the acquisition of negation in French second language for Swedish speakers in written production. In fact, numerous studies have been dedicated to this subject, investigating learners with different first languages. However, these studies often examine the acquisition of negation in oral language. Given the difference between speaking and writing in French language, it is als
When capturing digital video there is always some amount of noise in the resulting signal. This is more pronounced in low-light conditions. In this thesis we have evaluated five algorithms for motion detection and noise reduction. All algorithms produce a filtered image and a motion mask. One of the algorithms is based on block-matching, one on fuzzy logic and one on low-rank matrix completion. Th
Since the collapse of the Warszawa pact Central and Eastern European countries have changed their political agenda towards Western European countries (and the EU) by showing a political will to establish a (new) society based on Western principles and values. Simultaneously the Member states of the European Union have coordinated their foreign and security policy and shown an interest in solving d
Allt sedan Öresundsbron öppnades år 2000 har både pendlingen över landsgränserna och integrationen i Öresundsregionen gått stadigt framåt. Det pendlas dagligen fram och tillbaka från bostaden i det ena landet till arbetet i det andra, framför allt är pendling över landsgränsen från bostaden i Sverige till arbetet i Danmark omfattande. Det finns alltid en risk för att en inkomsttagare blir dubbelThe commuting and the integration in the Öresund region have progressed ever since the bridge between Denmark and Sweden opened up for traffic in the year of 2000. Every day commuting across the border from the residence in one country to the place of work in the other country is taking place. The commuting between the residence in Sweden to the place of work in Denmark is the far most frequent.
Utrymmet på jordytan håller på att ta slut, vi blir fler och fler och våra städer blir större och större. Istället för att expandera våra städer utåt borde det fokuseras på att göra mer plats i städerna. I en vanlig svensk stad utgörs idag nästan 50 % av vägar och annan transport. Om det mesta av all transport hade kunnat förflyttas ned under marken istället, hade den frigjorda platsen kunnat bli The room for the human race on earth is dwindling. The population is increasing and our cities are expanding every day. Instead of expanding our cities we could focus on creating more room inside our cities. Today close to 50% of the total area of a normal Swedish city consist of transport infrastructure What if we could move most of that 50% down below ground? Imagine all the space it would creat
The United States has for decades conceived of itself as a world leader and maintained an outward-facing, active foreign policy as a result. However, under President Trump, the conception of the U.S. as the arbiter of world affairs has experienced a reversal and the U.S. is returning to an isolationist mindset. Emblematic of this reversal is the changing U.S. stance toward the Trans-Pacific Partne
Databehandling av signaler från millimetervågsradar i realtid Radarsensorer som använder millimetervågor är väldigt användbara inom avkänningsteknik, som har tillämpningar inom bland annat sjukvården, autonoma robotar, osv. Detta examensarbete bygger vidare på en genomförbarhetsstudie som med positiva resultat undersökte om det var möjligt att med hjälp av elektronik och algoritmer förhindra fallBased on the feasibility study [4], the goal of this master thesis is to compile custom firmware for the XM112 Pulsed Coherent Radar Module, which features a state of the art radar sensor integrated with a microcontroller unit (MCU). This allows the use of custom firmware to check the plausibility of real-time data processing on the radar signals and will lay some of the groundwork for further dev
Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv undersöka hur det är att bo i Barcelona och arbeta i ett internationellt callcenter som ung europeisk medborgare. Vad är det som motiverar individer att migrera och arbeta i Barcelona? Hur upplever de förutsättningar i arbetet, social gemenskap och hur uppfattar de sin tillhörighet? Dessa frågeställningar sätts sedan i en bredare kontexThe aim of this study is from a sociological perspective understand how it is to live in Barcelona while working in an international call centre as a young European citizen. What motivates these individuals to migrate to Barcelona? What is their perspective of work, social community and notion of belonging? These questions are later to be examined together with theories of migration, modernization
Background: The more varied and new challenges that the healthcare sector faces every day, calls for modernization and reorganization. However, the healthcare sector is commonly understood to be slow to adapt to change. It is therefore important to understand and identify the enabling factors for the implementation of innovation, by giving voice to healthcare practitioners concerns, considering th
The dynamics of molecules and electrons takes place on timescales of femtoseconds and attoseconds, respectively. This requires ultrashort and intense extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to be able to study them. Two sources that can generate intense XUV pulses are free-electron lasers (FELs) based on self amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) and high-order harmonic generation (HHG)driven by intense

Skolplikten utgör en av hörnstenarna i det svenska skolsystemet. Trots att den grundlagsstadgade rätten till utbildning vilar på förutsättningen att eleven ska närvara i skolan, har problematisk frånvaro blivit ett växande problem som i vissa fall eskalera till en fullständig skolvägran. Samtidigt har inkorporeringen av barnkonventionen i svensk lag stärkt barnets roll som individuell rättighetsbäCompulsory schooling constitutes one of the cornerstones of the Swedish education system. Although the constitutionally enshrined right to education is based on the premise that the student must attend school, problematic absenteeism has become a growing issue, which in some cases may escalate into complete school refusal. At the same time, the incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of the
As demand for nicotine pouches continues to grow globally, especially in the form of tobacco-free snus, efficient and scalable packaging solutions have become essential for producers. This report presents the design, development, and testing of a fully automated end-of-line packaging station using a collaborative robot (cobot), specifically the UR10e. The project was carried out in collaboration w
In developing EnergyNet we have leveraged and are extending lessons from telecom's shift from a centralized, circuit-switched phone system to decentralized, packet-switched data networks. EnergyNet utilizes 1) an Energy Router that enforces galvanic separation and utilizes software-controlled energy flows over a DC backplane, 2) Energy Local and Wide Area Networks (ELAN/EWAN) based on DC microgridIn developing EnergyNet we have leveraged and are extending lessons from telecom's shift from a centralized, circuit-switched phone system to decentralized, packet-switched data networks.

Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges ever. Climate change and global warming is a great risk and our consumption and dependency of fossil fuel are important causes of this accelerating issue. My thesis aims to design an entry for the professional debate about what urban areas in a fossil free future might be like. I’m investigating how an urban environment that requires as little tra
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have a malignant potential varying from virtually no risk of recurrence (microscopic GISTs) to a high risk. Acquired secondary mutations that interfere with imatinib binding have been identified as a common mechanism for drug resistance and tumor progression in advanced GIST. Patients with advanced GIST but with a small tumor mass have the longest time to di
