Many songbird species that breed at northern latitudes migrate long distances each autumn, while others brave the cold winter. Long-distance migrants have physiological adaptations that allow them to rapidly gain weight at stopover sites during migration for optimal speed. There is some evidence from closely related species that birds with a longer migration distance deposit fuel faster. However,

Object and surface reconstruction in 3D is commonly used in production tolerance validation. Depending on the required level of accuracy, a multitude of different methods are available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. This thesis aims to investigate alternative surface reconstruction methods which utilise that all possible light paths are known along a given one-dimensional cur

Since 1990, international election observers have been travelling the world to monitor and assess close to 1 500 elections in developing democracies. Although often championed as the primary tool of democracy promotion, little is still known about its immediate consequences. In this research, therefore, I explore the relationship between election observers' assessments and domestic electoral r

In urban areas, the battle of space is more important than ever. The spaces and environments we grow up in are shown to be crucial for the identity we develop throughout our childhood. Therefore, the way our cities are designed and developed can largely impact who we become. The whole perception of society starts with children’s play, yet we tend to deprioritize their playing environments. For dec

I detta arbete jämförs det svenska diskrimineringsskyddet i arbetslivet med rättigheterna i FN:s konvention om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning CRPD. Särskilt behandlas bestämmelsen om bristande tillgänglighet. Syftet är att ge personer med funktionshinder ett effektivt medel till att uppnå lika rättigheter och möjligheter i samhället. I den svenska rättsordningen är funktionshindIn this paper the Swedish discrimination legislation in the working life will be compared to the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities CRPD. With special attention to the prohibition off inadequate accessibility. The rule inadequate accessibility has the purpose to give people with disabilities access to society in equal basis to other people. In Swedish law disability is a medi

Barnfridsbrottet infördes i svensk rätt den 1 juli 2021 och utgör alltså ett förhållandevis nytt brott. Bestämmelsen återfinns i 4 kap. 3 § brottsbalken (1962:700) (BrB) och innebär att det är straffbart att låta barn bevittna vissa i bestämmelsen angivna brott mellan närstående eller tidigare närstående personer till barnet. Syftet med lagstiftningen var att uppmärksamma barn som utsätts för att The criminalization of letting children witness domestic violence entered into force in Swedish law on 1 July 2021 and is thus a relatively new offence. It is found in Section 4. Chapter 3. in the Swedish Criminal Code and means that it is now a criminal offence to expose a child to witnessing domestic violence. The purpose of the penalty provision is to notice and give legislative protection to c

Purpose: This thesis analyses and assesses how companies in Germany’s DAX 40 demonstrate their adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It evaluates whether these disclosures are mainly substantive, indicating proper strategic integration, or symbolic, aimed primarily at enhancing reputation, and compares their reporting quality to previous international research. Methodology: This rese

Att upprätthålla välfärden för konsumenter inom EU är en av grundprinciperna för EU:s konkurrensrättsliga regelverk och praxis, något som leder till att alla konkurrensrättsliga bedömningar som genomförs av Kommissionen bör genomsyras av ett tänk som ser till det bästa för upprätthållandet av just denna välfärd. Denna inställning till skydd för konsumenter är särskilt framträdande inom EU:s regelvThe consumer welfare standard is one of the fundamental principles of EU competition law and practice. This means that all competitive assessments conducted by the Commission should have the welfare of consumers in mind to make sure that it is not harmed. This approach to protecting consumer welfare is especially prominent within the EU framework for corporate concentrations, where it is an intrin

This Thesis project used an event-based simulation tool written in MATLAB that modelled a factory scenario. Multiple base stations and a varying number of nodes were modelled. The nodes send data to the base stations and the simulation tool calculates the SINR of the received data and uses this SINR to model a probability of error. Latency statistics were then created using the time it took for th

The purpose of this study has been to look at four peoples life stories about their experiences of drug use over time as well as to share their individual attitudes, and possible experiences, of drug-related support and treatment. The life stories of these four people were collected through semi structured interviews, after which they were analyzed based on narrative aspects conveyed in their stor

In a recent experiment, the partial half-life (t1/2) of proton emission from the Iπ = 19/2- state of 53Co was accurately measured. A previous estimate is t1/2 ~ 17 s. The purpose of this thesis was to explain this decay and give a theoretical estimate for the dominating hindrance factors. The angular momentum J in 53Co is coupled to J = 6 for the neutrons, and J = 7/2 for the protons. All of this

Modelica-TM is an object-oriented language for modeling physical systems that was designed in the last years with the goal to become a standardized multi-domain modeling language. This paper describes a robust model for homogenous and inhomogenous two phase flows with dynamic or static slip correlation. It was developed in the context of developing a Modelica base library for thermo-hydraulic appl

In this thesis I have investigated pauses in writing in word-internal contexts and clause boundaries. I have been looking at the differences between 15-year-olds and adults with dyslexia and been focusing on how many pauses and how much pause time they have in these contexts. People with dyslexia have difficulties coding words, which mean that they are bad spellers and readers. Normally we automat

This paper is arguing that China’s political and economic opening in 1978, also referred to as China’s open door policy, was initiated by a change within China’s institutions affecting the political as well as the economic system. Since the opening in 1978 up until today (2012), constant economic reforms and developments as well as political progress can be observed. Domestic examples of China’s p

Popular science This study describes the development and implementation of a Photo Voltaic (PV)Roof Integration Analysis Tool integrated into a GIS system in order to be used in conducting research within alternative energy field. This study focuses on the Dokki district in Greater Cairo that was used as a case for developing the idea of a tool to assess the possibility of the roofs of existing bu

With a focus on Swedish national newspapers, the purpose of this thesis is to research and analyse the depiction of Ukrainian refugees. The reason behind the study is the hypothesis that Ukrainian refugees have been depicted in the media in a more positive light compared to other refugees from previous refugee crises. With the use of visual content analysis, front-page images from the newspapers S

Cancer är idag det näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen, där 30% av alla cancerfall bland kvinnor är bröstcancer. En vanlig behandling är bröstbevarande operation, där en bit av bröstet kirurgiskt tas bort. Operationer är både dyrt och har en betydande inverkan på kroppen och för vissa kvinnor krävs en omoperation efter den första operationen. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjli

In the past decades, China's rise has set off a shift from the unipolar era, rendering the South China Sea (SCS) a theatre for revived great power rivalry. In this environment, the behavior of secondary states navigating the heavy seas of the SCS dispute has drawn significant academic attention to the study of small and middle-power strategy. This thesis focused on the strategic response emplo

Climate-focused study abroad relying on high-emitting travel poses a dilemma between study abroad and emission reductions. This study employs the three spheres of transformation investigating this dilemma through coding syllabi (n=156,) surveying educators (n=9,) and interviewing (n=14) Climate Action Network for International Educators (CANIE) affiliates considering whether studying climate chang

The All Pairs Shortest Path (APSP) problem is ubiquitous in computer science. The problem consists of finding for any vertex pair, the weighted shortest paths in a network with real-weighted edges. The problem has been studied thoroughly, both for dense graphs, where the number of edges can be quadratic in the number of vertices, and for sparse graphs, where the number of edges is considerably low
