Patterns and factors affecting brownification in a boreal river

During the last decades a brownification of the lakes and streams in the northern hemisphere has been observed. The change has been attributed to an increase of organic content in the water, leached from the top soil layers, called humic substances. Several theories have been proposed to explain the drivers behind the brownification process, among them the decrease of sulfur deposition from reduce

Design and test of a robotic cell for stud bolt welding in heat exchangers for SWEP International AB

This project targeted automating production steps where stud bolts are welded on a heat exchanger within allowed perpendicularity and position requirements. Until now, this has been a manual process where an operator uses steel templates to position the bolts in the right place and manual welding guns to weld the bolts. The scope of this project is to create a digital model of a robot cell to calc

Främja

In the hectic and stressful climate of our more or less urbanized lives, it can be easy to neglect our surroundings and forget about our origins. The experiences and knowledge that is obtained from nature is a thing of absence in more and more people’s lives.

Touching From a Distance: Towards a Resonance Theory of Metaphor Understanding

The present thesis suggests a new type of theory from which to analyse metaphorical language. This new theory is motivated by shortcomings from the available theories (most notably Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Embodied Metaphor Theory) in analysing metaphors in poetry. The thesis uses a sample of metaphorical poems to highlight three key issues that the available theories have in accounting for

Patterns of Post-Breeding Dispersal of Sandwich Terns (Thalasseus sandvicensis) in Danish Waters

Like many other terns, European Sandwich Terns (Thalasseus sandvicensis) exhibit a period of post-breeding dispersal before migrating to their wintering grounds in Africa. In order to understand the significance of Danish waters for these movements, I analysed the post-breeding phenology of Sandwich Terns at nine roosting sites and determined their overall distribution throughout Denmark by using

Implementation of a component to manage authorization for a web application

Examensarbetet utfördes i samarbete med Klarna i Giessen med syftet att utveckla en komponent i en del av en webbapplikation som hanterar autentisering. Komponenten skulle interagera med auktoriseringstjänsten försedd från Okta tillsammans med korrekt auktoriseringsflöde som en lösning för tillåten användning av webbapplikationen. Arbetet inleddes med en undersökning av webbapplikationen, bakomligThis thesis was written in collaboration with Klarna in Giessen with the purpose of developing a component to deal with authentication in a web application. The component is intended to interact with the authorization service from Okta with the correct type of authorization flow to allow or disallow access to the web application’s resources.

Conforming building models derived in Esri's environment to the Swedish national specification for 3D data

Three-dimensional (3D) city models are increasingly utilized among stakeholders of different sectors, particularly those dealing with building information. 3D city models are a three-dimensional digital representation of urban structures, most prominently buildings. They offer diverse applications and have gained wide acceptance as a support tool in planning practices. The push to achieve greater

Poetry, Nature and Trauma during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Intersectional Examination of the Traumatised Subject and their Relationship to Nature

This thesis explores the ways in which ‘‘Ides of March, 2020’’ (2020) by Didi Jackson, ‘‘Sing a Darkness’’ (2020) by Carl Phillips, and ‘‘Desert Lily’’ (2020) by Rigoberto González engage with concepts of nature and trauma. All three poems reveal poignant elaborations on human position and relationship to nature, and how nature might help the speakers dealing with the traumatic present of the pand

Sjukfrånvarons Betydelse för Mortaliteten vid Svenska Särskilda Boenden

Att leverera en god äldreomsorg är en av statens viktigaste uppgifter. Det är en viktig del av svensk välfärd, där invånarna har en förväntan om att kvaliteten på vården ska vara god och där staten vill att detta ska ske kostnadseffektivt. Den kanske viktigaste delen i dessa strävande är personalen vid de särskilda boendena som har daglig kontakt med brukarna. I detta arbete undersöks närmare vad

Interactions between wild waterfowl and domestic ducks and the risk of avian influenza

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
