Hotet mot den biologiska mångfalden är omfattande. En bidragande orsak är handeln med hotade djur och växter. Mot bakgrund av en ökad internationell illegal handel har CITES-konventionen utarbetats. Inom EU gäller CITES-förordningen. Sverige har skyldighet att sanktionera handel i strid CITES-förordningen. Det finns dock ytterligare lagstiftning som reglerar handel med djur och växter. Uppsatsens The threat to biodiversity is extensive. One contributing factor is the illicit trade with endangered species. Due to an increased illegal international trade with endangered species CITES has been drafted to control the international market. The EU applies the CITES through Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97. Sweden must ensure that trading of protected specimens constitute a criminal offence with

Arbetspsykologiska test används numera i stor utsträckning i samband med rekrytering. Studiens syfte var att undersöka huruvida det arbetspsykologiska personlighetstestet shapes (management) (cut-e GmbH, 2017), utöver att predicera arbetsprestation, även kunde användas för att predicera kontraproduktiva arbetsbeteenden. Även den Mörka triadens personlighetsdimensioners prediktionsförmåga undersökt

In this thesis an evaluation was performed for the potential use of drone photos in Decision Support System (DSS) to detect outbreak of late blight and provide recommend treatment with fungicides. Late blight is a common crop infection on potato in Sweden. A DSS with and without information from drones were developed in three steps. Firstly, risk classification model for late blight was specified

As buildings get more and more complex and our cities get more and more populated, challenges arise for the persons involved in designing buildings. One of the most important system, the fire protection measures, needs to be designed properly for every building. As the buildings get more complex, the fire protection design needs more often to be flexible and appropriate for the situation. One way

The point of departure is an aim to study the impact a strategically engineered design process and a carefully selected set of tools can have on a design. Using computational tools in combination with a more traditional approach, the project investigates possible new green spaces in the harbour area of Malmö, which today lacks developed parks and green areas. The tools are selected based on an amb

The purpose of this study was to – through a case study with programme theory in consideration – investigate how a municipal project for unemployed young people by the name of Kaoskompaniet, financed by the European Social Fund, was working with empowerment. I also wanted to analyze how the project’s managers seemed to interpret the word “empowerment” based on how the project was implemented and r

We construct and analyze Dirichlet-Neumann iterations for the 1D Poisson equation. Specifically, we wish to gain insight into how the convergence depends on material coefficients when solving coupled linear heat equations on three non-overlapping domains. We first consider the two-domain case and then extend the method to three domains. A finite element method is used to discretize the Laplacian.

This master thesis discusses the opinions of different people regarding new additions to present historic settings. The thesis´ starting-point is that additions and alterations have to be made; the question is how these additions can be made in a way that shows full respect of the old building and, at the same time, adds something new. Through interviews with four different groups of people, I wan

The physics of interacting many-body systems is a very complex and challenging subject. Therefore one in general needs to use simplified models and approximate methods for studying these systems theoretically. In this work we study the exchange-correlation (xc) potential for the Hubbard-Holstein (HH) model for the application of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to the same. The Hohenberg-Kohn theo

Sustainable achievement is the overall objective of all road building undertakings. An important part of this is recycling. Reclaimed asphalt is not only renewable but contains vast volumes of finite resources and the interest for the recycling modes of operation is on the rise. However, the impact of additives and the production processes must not adversely affect the properties of the pavements

The aim of this study was to investigate the motivational work in needle exchanges. The analysis was based on two theories; a theory of Per Revstedt and the pygmalioneffect. The study is based on qualitative interviews with seven person (six women and one man) who work in needle exchanges. The interviews is later analysed. The results show that the respondents express that the goal with the motiva

I denna kvalitativa studie intervjuades 17 beställare av ledarskapsutbildningar i Skånes näringsliv om deras syn på sitt företags behov av ledarskapsutveckling. Resultaten vittnar om behov av självinsikt, perspektiv, bekräftelse, stöd i rollen och ledarförmågor på individnivå och kulturell samsyn, välfungerande personal, affärsstrategisk stringens, effektiva arbetsprocesser och attraktivitet som a

The aim of this study was to examine how middle managers experience the impact of internal and external stakeholders bound to the organizations and how middle managers form their legitimacy. The study examined the complex situation of social workers in a middle managing position using stakeholder theory and legitimacy. The middle managers are working in Swedish welfare organizations providing supp

The aim of this study was to examine the employees experiences of the collaboration between the probation service, the social service and the labor office within the organization Krami. The study relies on six qualitative, semi structured interviews with two employees from each authority at two separate Krami offices. The organization aims to guide and help persons with former criminal backgrounds

The aim of this study is to investigate how school counselors describe control over their work situation and to conclude which factors compicate and ease the counselors to feel in control. This study is empirically based on semi-structured interviews of seven school counselors. The conclusions indicates that the counselors generally though they had control over their work although there were uncle

The aim of this study was to explore sea-level rise (SLR) exposure in South-East England by conducting a broad analysis of some of the possible impacts of inundation in the region under different SLR scenarios in a warming climate. The potential effects of coastal inundation were mapped and quantified by applying a modified bathtub modelling approach in GIS to a low-elevation coastal Digital Terr

It is still not well defined how the anatomy of the hip in healthy pediatric patients develop. Defining the span of normal anatomical development could help identify patients that deviate from healthy development and enable early diagnosis of certain pathological conditions of the hip. To study the normality range of the 3D morphology of the hip for pediatric patients, a statistical shape model (
