Avian influenza constitutes a remarkable threat to global health. Interaction between wild and domestic ducks in the natural wetlands has been considered one of the potential risk factors for the rapid spread of the avian influenza virus. Tanguar haor is one of the vital wetlands in Bangladesh, a wintering place of millions of migratory birds. At the same time, native farmers raise their domestic

This thesis examines the relationship between the architect and its digital tools, from the perspective that technology constantly is evolving. We believe that the architect’s relationship with its tools changes with the advancement of technology. That being said, we developed an investigative methodology based on generative design that we later applied to a more conventional architectural project

The aim of this study was to explore trans people’s feelings and thoughts about coming out as transgender to their environment in order to create a deeper understanding about the process of coming out. A qualitative method was applied to study nine different stories written by trans people, taken from three different websites. The study showed that the writers discussed factors such as worries abo

In this work we investigate the hard and soft interactions in the multiple parton interactions (MPI) simulation in Herwig7. The investigation covers how the number of soft and hard interactions in an event is linked to the multiplicity of final state particles. We also present a labeling system for particles produced by different interactions, which we then use to classify the final state particle

The aim of this thesis is to uncover the determining factors behind the feminisation of the Swedish bank sector 1910-1939, through analysis of time-series and the Union periodical Bankvärlden. Economic and institutional explanations are tried, from a structural-analytical and gender perspective. The results show that feminisation was most rapid during the 1910’s, driven by a strong demand for labo

In using a qualitative method have I interviewed six women and six men taking care of their wives respectively husbands suffering from physical disease, disfunction or demental disease. The purpose was to find out whether male and female caretakers were differently influenced in their situation, relationship and in their partners, when they became caretakers of their spouse, depending on what the

The purpose of this essay was to analyze if and how teenagers think about immigrants and Swedes, the relationship between them and to find out where these thoughts originate from. The essay consisted of four main questions; do the teenagers think in terms of immigrants and Swedes? How do the teenagers reason in terms of who is an immigrant and who is Swedish? What do they think about the relations

Denna uppsats undersöker hur individen framställs i ett körutbildningsmaterial med tolkningsföreträde, publicerat av Sveriges Trafikskolors Riksförbund. Utifrån en kritisk diskursanalys har jag sökt närma mig skrifternas diskurser och föreställningar om individen i förhållande till trafiken. I samverkan med ett socialkonstruktionistiskt synsätt och genusperspektiv har jag kunnat uttyda att två av This essay examines how the individual is portrayed in a driving education material with preferential right of interpretation, published by Sveriges Trafikskolors Riksförbund. On the basis of a critical discourse analysis, I have tried to get close to the discourses and conceptions regarding the individual, in relation to the traffic. In cooperation with a social constructionist outlook and gender

Very high levels of ambient particulate matter (PM) are frequently encountered in the north of Italy and air quality limits are regularly exceeded. To obtain quantitative information on the pollution sources and to gain understanding of the dynamics of pollution episodes in this populated area PM10 and/or PM2.5 samples were collected daily at nine urban to regional sites distributed over the centr

This paper presents new experimentally determined branching fractions and oscillator strengths (log gf) for lines originating from 17 levels belonging to 5 terms of the first excited odd configuration 4d(7)(D-4) 5p in Rh II. The intensity calibrated spectra of Rh II have been recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer between 25000 and 45000 cm(-1) (2200-4000 angstrom). In this region, 49 line

When the United Nations was created in 1945, states were the only significant decision-makers. Even with the construction of the human rights regime in the aftermath of the Second World War, states were designated as the only duty-bearers who could violate international human rights law. States alone were held responsible for implementing human rights principles by enforcing treaty-based obligatio

The study was conducted through an abductive approach and a qualitative research strategy using a hermeneutic epistemological stance. The data was collected using interviews and respondents selected with a purposive sample technique. With interviews as a data collection technique, we have gathered data from five respondents representing larger listed companies, auditors from the four largest audit

This is a Master Thesis about the use of mineral glass in mobile phone front windows. A brief introduction to glass as a material and its behavior is followed up by our own research and investigations. We have looked at existing and unreleased phones from Sony Ericsson that use or will use mineral glass. We have also examined some competitor phones. All gathered information was analyzed, sorte

The purpose of the report was to look at the environmental impact from the residents in Lund municipality using the software program Resource and Energy Analysis Program (REAP Sweden). Scenarios were calculated for food consumption and demand for transport. An assessment was made based on the results, to evaluate the limitations, user friendliness and usefulness of the tool. The results show the

This thesis is about the patient and the professionals' experiences of participation and recovery in forensic psychiatric care. The purpose of the study was to investigate patients' and professionals' experiences of participation and what is considered to contribute to recovery from severe psychiatric illness. The study is based on a qualitative method and the empirical material consis

Sparse, non-negative signals occur in many applications. To recover such signals, estimation posed as non-negative least squares problems have proven to be fruitful. Efficient algorithms with high accuracy have been proposed, but many of them assume either perfect knowledge of the dictionary generating the signal, or attempts to explain deviations from this dictionary by attributing them to compon

Essentials: Validated assays are required to precisely measure factor IX (FIX) activity in FIX products. N9-GP and two other FIX products were assessed in various coagulation assay systems at two sites. Large variations in FIX activity measurements were observed for N9-GP using some assays. One-stage and chromogenic assays accurately measuring FIX activity for N9-GP were identified. Summary: Backg

BACKGROUND: In September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis of 33 health-related SDG indicators based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015).METHODS: We applied statistical methods to systematic

A partir del fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial se extiende, partiendo de los EEUU, una comprensión y uso de la ciencia subordinadas al proceso de producción. Esto determina el avance, sobre el campo científico, de un proceso de administración de la investigación y de la formación por parte del Estado y, a través de él, del aparato productivo. Esa subordinación de la actividad científica a la utilid
