Climate change is one of the global problems that the world is facing today. Previous studies have shown that climate change has negatively affected the livelihoods of the vulnerable population. However, understanding climate change is usually influenced by how it affects a person’s livelihood. For agriculture-dependent communities, it has been documented that climate change includes rainfall vari

I detta projekt utvecklades ett formspråk för militära sensorprodukter. Med särskild vikt på att företagets olika produkter skulle få ett gemensamt vi- suellt uttryck. Detta formspråk tillämpades sedan på styrenheten till en kamera, vilken används utomhus i tuffa förhållanden. Till styrenheten ut- vecklades en lösning för ett kompakt portabelt lagringsmedia som samtidigt går att använda med tjocka

Queue latency is a fundamental part of end-to-end latency and ensuring low end-to-end latency is crucial for a good quality of service in the upcoming 5G and 6G applications. In this work we present a model capturing the essential dynamics of an end-to-end cellular system upon which we derive a control structure that is suitable for tractable analysis, seeking to mitigate queue latency and provide

Propionic acid (PA) is a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid produced by microbial fermentation of the indigestible foods in the intestine, having a positive effect on the gastrointestinal health. PA inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and molds; hence it is widely used as preservative for food, feed and grains. It is also used as a component in several industrial products like polym

With new developments in sensor technology, a new generation of vehicle dynamics controllers is developing, where the braking and steering strategies use more information, e.g. knowledge of road borders. The basis for vehicle-safety systems is how the forces from tyre–road interaction is vectored to achieve optimal total force and moment on the vehicle. To study this, the concept of attainable for

Stability control of a vehicle in autonomous safety-critical at-the-limit manoeuvres is analysed from the perspective of lane keeping or lane changing, rather than that of yaw control as in traditional ESC systems. An optimal control formulation is developed, where the optimisation criterion is a linear combination of the initial and final velocity of the manoeuvre. Varying the interpolation param

Recipient IgG immunity against leukoreduced donor platelets is dependent on indirect T-cell allorecognition and is suppressed in vivo by inhibitors (aminoguanidine, AMG) of inducible nitric oxide synthase (INOS). To examine recipient processing pathways of donor platelet antigens, enriched macrophages (antigenpresenting cells [APC]) from BALB/c (H-2(d)) mice were pulsed with allogeneic C57BL/6 (H-

Neoliberal and conservative actors, financed by the fossil fuel industry, have been identified as crucial parts of a climate change denialist counter movement since at least the 1980s. We claim that this intersection stems from more than just vested interest fuelling advocacy groups. By focusing on the intellectual developments and social networks of core actors in the environmental debate in Swed

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the latency in mobile networks affect the quality of highly demanding and sensitive applications running on it. Furthermore, this thesis will provide some information to what is going on in the field of Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things. It will hopefully spark a discussion about what possibilities will come with the development of the Clou

Med ofta stora summor involverade i ärenden relaterade till osäkra hamnar är det av stort intresse för både redaren och befraktaren att etablera deras respektive risk de har under en resa. Den här uppsatsen behandlar relationen mellan redaren och befraktaren då redaren har åsamkats skada på grund av en osäker hamn. Frågan är till vilken grad det är möjligt att hålla befraktaren ansvarig för en såWith often large amounts involved, the issue of unsafe ports is of great interest for both the shipowner and the charterer in order to establish what kind of risk they would bear under a voyage. This thesis deals with the relationship between the shipowner and the charterer when the shipowner has suffered a loss due to an unsafe port. The question is to what extent it is possible to hold the char

We present a detailed mapping of the dominant kinematical domains contributing to the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux at high neutrino energies by studying their sensitivity to the cuts on several kinematical variables crucial for charm production in cosmic ray scattering in the atmosphere. This includes the maximal center-of-mass energy for proton-proton scattering, the longitudinal momentum fra

Skatteflyktslagen är ett viktigt redskap i lagstiftarens kamp mot skatteförmåner som åtnjutits genom att kringgå ordinarie skattelagstiftning. Skatteflyktsförfarande kan innefatta gränsöverskridande rättshandlingar till andra medlemsstater inom EU. Att tillämpa skatteflyktslagen i de situationerna måste då göras i enlighet med EU-rätten och de fördragsfriheter som säkerställer en fri inre marknad.The Swedish tax evasion law is an important tool in the legislator’s struggle against tax advantages gained by avoiding primary tax law. The arrangements made to avoid tax sometimes involve cross-border legal transactions within the EU. If the tax evasion law is to be applied in those situations the law must be in compliance with EU-law and the treaty freedoms that ensures a free internal market.

I denna uppsats undersöks det norska Senterpartiet samt det svenska Centerpartiet. Uppsatsen utgår dels från antologin From farmyard to city square från 2001 och dels från Otto Kirchheimers teori om catch-all-partiet. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka varför Senterpartiet har nått större valframgångar än Centerpartiet under de senaste valen, trots att partierna på många sätt är mycket lika. I up

I dagens samhälle utövar en ansenlig del av världens befolkning inte en tillräckligt mycket fysisk aktivitet; konsekvenserna är omtalade och välkända, en stor del av framförallt de industrialiserade ländernas befolkning är överviktig, andelen som drabbas av hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar växer och typ 2 diabetes sprids snabbt över världen. Den bristande fysiska aktiviteten förekommer inte endast hos vuxIn today’s society many children are struggling to exercise enough, this is especially the case for children with severe cerebral palsy, who often spend much time sedentary, which leads to several serious health risks. To mitigate these risks, the standard care in Sweden has been a static standing training (StS) regime. However, this training regime is no magic bullet, due to the relatively low in

The Arab spring caught both scholars and regimes by surprise, bringing rapid changes to a previously thought stable region. The events of the Arab spring did not impact all Arab states in an equal matter though, and while some regimes fell, other seemed to be largely unaffected. Applying theories of youth bulges and demographic transition this study analyses the age-structure and GNI per capita fo

The purpose of this paper is to answer the question concerning NATO and how it has changed after the end of the Cold War. To do this we will look and analyse four different conflicts that NATO has been involved in since the end of the Cold War. These four conflicts are those of Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Libya. To correctly analyse these conflict in the context of NATO we will use security th

A common problem in geocoding is that the postal addresses as requested by the user differ from the addresses as described in the database. The online, open source geocoder called Nominatim is one of the most used geocoders nowadays. However, this geocoder lacks the interactivity that most of the online geocoders already offer. The Nominatim geocoder provides no feedback to the user while typing a

Our main finding was that creativity could be understood as a symbolic. The perceptions of creativity can be contagious, when the routinized worker associates him or herself with the creative outcome of the team. For the employee the symbolic meaning might also work as a distraction from alienation and provide more meaning to performing routinized tasks. We also saw how routines can be perceived e
