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

The decreasing extent of the Arctic sea ice has opened up new areas in the High North for industrial and commercial activities. These areas contain large reserves of oil and gas, and the region is home to some of the world’s richest fishing grounds. The region is of key strategic importance, and maintaining a Norwegian presence in the Arctic areas is considered to be a national priority. A major r

Agriculture is an essential economic activity which sustains the livelihood of millions of people around the world. Maize is one of the most grown, consumed and traded cereals in the world mostly because of its adaptability to varied environmental conditions. Maize farming depends on climatic factors like temperature, rainfall and radiation to thrive but this also means that it is very susceptible

Kolloidal nanokristaller är små kristaller (2-20 nm) som bildar till ett ordnat nätverk. Kolloidal nanokristaller kallas också för nanokristall quantum dots (QDs). Cesium bly bromid CsPbBr3 är inorganisk quantum dots med hög stabilitet. Vårt syfte är att bekräfta om CsPbBr3 quantum dots är stabila under olika förhållande. Cesium bly bromid QDs syntetiseras vid 120o och 180oC. För varje serie prepaMonodisperse colloidal quantum dots of fully inorganic cesium lead bromide CsPbBr3 are synthesised at two distinguished temperatures (120 and 180oC) using inexpensive commercial precursors. The stability of these quantum dots is studied under three different conditions by measuring absorption as well as photoluminescence as functions of time. For both kinds of quantum dots, the light affect their

The Resource-Based View (RBV) är teorin som beskriver processer där företag har och utvecklar konkurrensfördelar. I RBV identifierar Dierickx & Cool (1989) att en resurs imiterbarhet villkoras av dess ackumuleringsprocess. Författarna nämner därefter olika förhållanden som försvårar imiterbarheten i en resurs. Två av dessa är Asset Mass Efficiencies och Interconnectedness of Asset Stocks, i deThe Resource-Based View describes processes in which business corporations develop competitive advantages. Dierickx & Cool (1989) identifies the imitability in an asset stock as dependent of the process in which it is accumulated. The authors highlight different situations which aggravates the imitability in an asset stock. Two of these are Asset Mass Efficiencies and Interconnectedness of Ass

En gemensamhetsanläggning är en anläggning som ska tillgodose ett gemensamt behov för de som ingår i den. Det är exempelvis anläggningar för vägar, parkering och lekplatser. Förrättningslantmätaren beslutar vid förrättningen vilket kostnadsansvar varje deltagande fastighet ska bekosta för anläggande, drift och underhåll. Det representeras genom ett andelstal som fastigheten tilldelas. När andelstaAt an ordinance of community facilities in Sweden it is sometimes necessary to consider the difference between the two accommodation arrangements, permanent- or secondary accommodation. The reason for this is to make the costs, for construction, operation and maintenance, financially equal for the participating part-owners. The secondary accommodation usually uses the facility less and should ther

“Alla har en relation till odling och mat, oavsett om man kommer från Somalia, Irak eller Nydala i Malmö.” (Jimenez, 2012). Visst är det så! Att mat är något som vi alla har gemensamt och som förenar människor har varit utgångspunkten för detta arbete. Projektet har resulterat i ett sprudlande matcentrum i Nyhamnen i Malmö. Här kan människor från stadens alla hörn och besökare utifrån samlas krinThe fact that food is something that we all have in common and that it brings people together has been the starting point for this thesis work. The project has resulted in a vibrant food center in the future city district Nyhamnen in Malmö. Here people from all over the city can gather around the People’s Kitchen and Diner, a wine bar, urban farming facilities, food markets and more. The inspirati

Global warming and climate change is getting a serious issue and a great environmental threat that affects many aspects of life and our ways of living on this planet. The negative effects of climate change are endangering our communities, health and economy.

Signifikans hittades för de två företagsspecifika variablerna historisk överavkastning och diversifiering vilka hade ett negativt respektive positivt samband med substansrabatten. Det fanns även ett statistiskt signifikant negativt samband mellan makro-index (konjunkturläget) och substansrabatten. Interaktionsmodeller med företagsspecifika variabler kombinerade med makro-index genererade två signi

Förhöjda temperaturer på höga breddgrader kan förändra koldynamiken i hela Arktis. Modellerade CO2 simuleringar visar att under nuvarande klimatförhållanden utgör Arktis en netto kolsänka, fast den stora utsträckningen samt fina geografiska heterogenitet lyfter upp osäkerhet kring dess status som CO2 sänka/källa i regionen. Förståelsen för arktiska koldioxidflödekan förbättras genom integrering avIncreased temperatures in high latitudes may alter the carbon dynamics throughout the Arctic. Modelled CO2 simulations show that current climate conditions constitute the Arctic a net carbon sink, though the large extent and fine landscape heterogeneity raise an uncertainty about the carbon sink/source status of the region. The understanding of Arctic CO2 fluxes can be improved through integration
