This thesis addresses three topics in income inequality. First, a cross- sectional dataset of 30 countries is used to investigate the causes of between- country differences in income inequality. Secondly, a panel of the same countries is used to examine the drivers behind the change in inequality between 1985 and 2013. This part of the thesis utilizes dynamic regres- sion models for panel data, an

This thesis presents SenQB - Sentence Query Builder - a visual query builder that is based on a graphical representation of how a database query would be posed in natural language as a sentence. The SenQB design is the result of usability evaluation conducted with non technical users as a main target group. Three mockups are usability tested and one of them, SenQB, is implemented as a proof of con

The project analyzes, implements, and tests different types of heterogeneous sensor fusion, and comparatively checks them against a ground truth. Four different cases are tested, only image data, only non-image data, sequential fusion of data, and parallel fusion of data. The tracking is done with a probabilistic data association filter, which is a variation of the standard Kalman filter. The met

The superfamily Dysderoidea, a species-rich clade of haplogyne araneomorph spiders encompassing members that are all expected to exhibit holokinetic chromosome structure, is cytogenetically explored for this thesis. Holokinetic chromosomes lack primary constriction and centromere. In contrast to standard chromosomes, kinetochore covers most of chromosome surface of the holokinetic chromosomes. Hol

AVLOPPSVATTEN FRÅN EN BIODIESELANLÄGGNING: VAD INNEHÅLLER DET OCH HUR BEHANDLAR MAN DET? Avloppsvatten från biodieselproduktion innehåller b.la. höga halter av organiskt material. Det betyder att vattnet måste behandlas för att få släppas ut. Innehållet i avloppsvattnet från en biodieselanläggning i Blekinge och förslag till behandling diskuteras i detta arbete. Biodiesel är ett viktigt alternaBiodiesel is an important alternative to ordinary diesel when limiting the effects on the climate. However, the production path of biodiesel produces a wastewater with a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and it needs to be cleaned. The aim of this study was to characterise biodiesel wastewater as well as to suggest treatment options. The biodiesel wastewater studied came from a biodiesel plant i
