Jordbruk är avgörande för människans överlevnad och idag står det inför många problem relaterade till både klimatförändringar och en ökande befolkning. Medan ökande totalskördar under 1900-talet har skapat förutsättningar både för global ekonomisk tillväxt och för befolkningstillväxt, har de jordbruksmetoder som används ofta fört med sig negativa konsekvenser både för ekosystem och människor. JordAgriculture is essential for human survival and today it faces many problems related to both climate change and an increasing population. While increased total yields during the 20th century have created the conditions for both global economic and population growth, the agricultural practices utilized have often had detrimental consequences both for ecosystems and people. The agricultural sector i

Under de senaste åren har de skett en avsevärd ökning av brott som begås av unga män i Sverige. Från stöld till rån med våld fortsätter brott att vara en ständig hot mot samhället. Behovet att övervinna de flesta av dessa problem har lett många myndigheter så som brottsförebygganderådet till att söka lösningar genom statistik på ett problem som de ibland hittar orsakerna till. Men bakom varje brot

I takt med att intresset för hållbarhet ökar bland konsumenter blir sociala medier en allt större del av vardagen. Konsumenter blir även allt mer medvetna om vilka livsmedel som konsumeras. För hållbara livsmedelsföretag handlar det därför också om att anpassa sin marknadsföring till konsumenternas medievanor. Influencers kan här komma att spela en avgörande roll för marknadsföring via sociala med

Vår uppsats undersöker hur säkerhetsmedvetna försäkringsförmedlare i ett försäkringsbolag är. De samlar in och behandlar känslig information dagligen och det är då rimligt att anta att det ska finnas en hög säkerhetsmedvetenhet. Vi har tagit hjälp av motivationsteorin Temporal Motivation Theory (TMT) för att bygga vår undersökningsmodell. Efter att ha granskat litteratur har vi identifierat aktivi

The aim of this study was to investigate if spatial planning is a opportunity for social sustainability in the district Rosengard in Malmo.

The rise of Big Data is creating tremendous opportunities across all industries. As the development promises disruptive changes of business processes and manifold benefits both on the company and customer side, health and life insurance companies engage and invest in Big Data approaches. By collecting, storing, and analysing huge amounts of customer centric data, they hope to enhance their risk as

The aim of the study is to show examples of how caregivers in Sweden gives persons with substance abuse good, fair treatment. The author’s hypothesis is that the Swedish drug policy, with its aim to abolish all illegal use of substances, affects the attitude that meet drug users whom seek care and help from the authorities. The already stigmatized and shunned group of drug users become even more m

The aim of this study was to see how different welfare operators understands their own, and others, responsibility regarding unaccompanied minors seeking asylum from a welfare pluralistic point of view. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with different professionals representing their welfare operator. In order to examine views of responsibility we conducted nine interviews that cent

Background: Validity is understood to be a question of the correctness or accuracy of research. It can be viewed as a condition for science’s aspiration to produce authoritative knowledge. When it comes to qualitative research, the claims produced are often interpretations of people’s way of understanding. The validity of qualitative research can therefore be viewed as particularly difficult to af

The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of how firms relate to the phenomenon of internationalization, in order to answer the questions of How do firms act when internationalizing? and what kind of barriers/deterrence do they perceive? and is culture considered a barrier? In terms of theory, a framework was constructed consisting of the internationalization phenomenon in combination

Skam är en kraftfull känsla med både positiv och negativ funktion. Känslan kan vara övergående och reglera beteendet i förhållande till omgivningens normer. Internaliserad skam är ett mer konstant tillstånd av negativ självbild där individen uppfattar hela sig som misslyckad, pinsam och mindre värd än andra. Skammen kan döljas genom att man undviker situationer som aktiverar och avslöjar den plågsShame is a powerful affect with both positive and negative functions. The emotion can be transient and help the person to socialise and behave successfully in relation to social norms. Internalised shame is a more constant state of negative self-image in which the individual regards all of him- or herself as a failure, awkward and of less worth. The shame can be hidden by avoiding situations that

I takt med att tillgängligheten ökar på nätet så ökar även behovet av smidiga säkerhetslösningar. Detta examensarbete utforskar möjligheten att tillämpa statistiskt lärande för att upptäcka intrångsförsök.A web server intrusion is when a user gains unauthorized access to resources. This is often accomplished using code injection attacks. Intrusion detection systems today often utilize regular expressions to detect code injection attacks. Some attempts have been made to merge the fields of web security and machine learning. However, they often simply distinguish intrusion attempts from regular reque

Genom att studera hur en vision används av aktörer i en serviceorganisation syftar uppsatsen till att bidra till djupare förståelse kring funktionen av vision. Uppsatsens empiriska material utgörs av en fallstudie på hotellkedjan Scandic där tolv kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts. Den valda metoden är passande för att nå en djupare förståelse för hur personal upplever visionen i sitt arbete. D

Inflammatory bowel diseases as ulcerative colitis and Cohn’s disease represent significant health problems in the western world. Colon cancer is a common consequence of those chron- ic inflammatory disorders, thereby it is essential to improve knowledge and research level of this area. AOM/DSS is a known and well-established chemically induced mice model of coli- tis associated cancer. In order to

The nuclear reaction 10B(n,alpha)7Li* was utilised to develop a neutron detection system. This system has the purpose of being used to detect the thermal neutron radiation emitted by spent nuclear fuel, before it is transported to a final repository. This to investigate the content of the fuel-containing capsules, primarily to ensure non-proliferation of radioactive materials in the nuclear waste

Background This study was conducted at a business unit at the Company, a leading global consumer goods company based in Europe, working in an increasingly hostile environment due to market deregulation and international competition.

Trots att bemanningsbranschens utveckling på arbetsmarknaden har ökat de senaste åren har forskningen och kunskapen om bemanningsanställda inte ökat i samma takt. Den psykosociala arbetsmiljön har förändrats de senaste decennierna i och med framväxten av alternativa anställningar. Både den fysiska och psykosociala arbetsmiljön har betonats som viktig för personers hälsa och välbefinnande. I arbetsThe development of temporary agencys on the labormarket has been increasing over the past years, despite of this the research and knowledge about temporary workers has not increased in the same pace. The psychosocial environment has changed the past decades with the emergence of alternative empolyments. The importance of the physical and the psychosocial work environment has been emphasized for th

This master thesis is a project report of a system identification experiment of pressure sensors in order to characterise their frequency behaviour. The information about the frequency behaviour is for example very useful in the automotive industry, where pressure sensors are used to measure the dynamic pressures in combustion engines. The sensors are identified by means of impulse response analys
