Two years after its passing, it was in effect invalidated by a supreme court ruling. In response the government

Collimated Transmission Spectroscopy (CTS) is a technique that is commonly used to study the optical absorption of different media. In this work CTS was used to measure the absorbance of pure raspberry juice in order to investigate how well the fruit content may be determined in a commercially available raspberry fruit drink. Another method, RGB colorimetry, which is a much more available techniqu

In July 2017, the Egyptian police and military forces implemented a government decision that intended to force the residents of al-Warraq island out of their homes. The eviction decision involved 720 homes, but the security forces were only able to demolish five homes before clashes broke out and the security forces withdrew from the island. The disputes between the police forces and island inhabi

Insect monitoring has earlier been a manual, tedious and time consuming task that is impossible to do in real time. Thus there exists a need for a real time automatic insect monitoring system for counting and classifying insect for use in scientific research and pesticide spraying control. One approach to automatize this is using LIDAR to detect insects. In this thesis it has been explored how to d

The thesis explores the transformation of everyday spaces into spaces of resistance through “supported action”. It is based on semi-structured interviews with eight organisations fighting for reproductive rights and justice in Ireland. A diffractive analytical method is employed to identify intra-actions of space, bodies and objects in the transformation of politically produced and capitalist spac

Due to its high vulnerability, permafrost is one of the key features studied in the field of climate change impacts. Permafrost is widespread in the Arctic region. The majority of the area underlain by permafrost is however difficult to access for in-situ monitoring and it is difficult to get an overview of the current state of permafrost in many areas. Permafrost modeling provides a solution whi

Thanks to the Internet, User-generated translated (UGT) material has spread at an impressive rate. Not much research exists on the subject as of the writing of this thesis, since it is a relatively new field within Translation Studies. It is an interesting topic worth exploring nonetheless. This phenomenon began in the 1980s, where these fan-translations had to be done by manually changing the vid

This thesis explores the motivations of online users to avoid online advertising by employing ad blockers. Ad blocker is the filtering technology that blocks online advertising from appearing. Four motives have been identified: privacy concerns, annoying advertisements, browsing experience, and malvertising. The motives examined are aiming to reveal the importance of each one of them in the blocki

The number of international students in higher education is steadily increasing, so their experiences in the new environment is a topic gaining more and more interest from academics (Wu & Hammond, 2011). The current research suggests a model for determining international students’ happiness. The determining factors in the hypothesized model are university satisfaction, residential satisfaction

Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. Furthermore, precipitation drives Surface Mass Balance (SMB), which is the sum of accumulation and the
