En kandidat- och en masterexamen i historisk arkeologi ledde Henrik Bernro till en karriär inom fältarkeologin. Att gräva upp olika objekt på en plats är som att lägga ett pussel, berättar han. När man slår ihop fynd kan man få en bild av vad som har hänt i en hel stad under olika tidsperioder.A bachelor's and master's degree in historical archaeology led Henrik Bernro to a career in field archaeology. “Digging up different objects is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. When you combine finds, you get an idea of what has happened in an entire city during different periods of time.”

In this work we study the problem of constructing precoders for spatially multiplexed multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) channels with close to optimal minimum Euclidean distance. In order to exploit the full potential of such designs, an ML detector must be used. Our design takes the decoding complexity into account and constrain it to a reasonable level. For our simplest case, the ML detector

The basic electrochemistry of carbon paste electrodes modified with Meldola Blue adsorbed on zirconium phosphate (MB-ZP-CPEs) and their ability to oxidize NADH have been investigated. Three types of carbon powder (graphite and glassy carbon-type Sigradur K and G) were used to obtain MB-ZP-CPEs. On comparing cyclic voltammograms recorded at MB-ZP-CPEs, similarly prepared from the three different ca

In this work, we present and discuss simulation results for the design of multi-channel neutron focusing guides for extreme sample environments. A single focusing guide consists of any number of supermirror-coated curved outer channels surrounding a central channel. Furthermore, a guide is separated into two sections in order to allow for extension into a sample environment. The performance of a g

This paper presents a highly parallelized MIMO signal detection algorithm targeting vector-based reconfigurable architectures. The detector achieves high data-level parallelism and near-ML performance by adopting a vector-architecture-friendly technique - parallel node perturbation. To further reduce the computational complexity, imbalanced node and successive partial node expansion schemes in con

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur synen på surrogatmoderskap har utvecklats i svensk rätt, och om avsaknaden av reglering av fastställande av utländskt moderskap är tillfredsställande. Frågan om avsaknaden av reglering ska ses i förhållande till barnets bästa och barnets rätt till respekt för privatliv enligt artikel 8 Europakonventionen (EKMR) för de barn som tillkommit genom surrogatmod

Barnkonventionen fick i januari 2020 status av lag i den svenska rätten eftersom lagstiftaren inte anser att den tidigare fått tillräckligt genomslag i tillämpningen. Barn har sedan länge behandlats som skilda från och underordnade vuxna. Barns underordning är antagligen den minst ifrågasatta maktordningen i samhället. Barn behandlas ofta som mindre vetande och deras inflytande begränsas regelmässIn January 2020, the Convention on the Rights of the Child was given the status of law in Sweden because the legislator was dissatisfied with the impact it had when applied as an international instrument. For a long time, children have been treated as separate from an inferior to adults. Children´s subordination is probably the least contested power structure in society. Children are often treated

The purpose of this essay was to see how the child's voice was being heard in the verdicts in trials. I looked into court cases where parents wanted custody of their child/children. The focus of my analysis was on how the verdicts were presented and if the child/children were described in the court cases. The method that I used was qualitative documentanalysis. I chose seven court cases to inv

Triple-win projects have been failing in Sub-Saharan Africa. The top-down approach of policymakers and donors lead to the priorities of local stakeholders not being accounted for which in turn leads to trade-offs. Instead of disregarding triple-wins, researchers have suggested they could be used as building blocks in the emerging pathways literature, therefore accounting for a broader set of goals

Den här texten beskriver processen under vilken jag studerat mig själv som improvisationsmusiker i formatet solopiano. Jag undersöker hur jag skapar bästa möjliga förutsättningar för att känna mig både fri, inspirerad och motiverad, när jag inte får någon musikalisk information från andra medmusiker. Med hjälp av etablerandet av strikta ramar och begränsningar av olika karaktär har jag genomfört i

Uppsatsen tar sitt avstamp i den politiska nollvisionen att inga barn ska vräkas. En utredning av gällande rätt klargör att även om det kan finnas en lagstadgad social rätt till bostad för barn så är denna inte så väldefinierad och reglerad att den är utkrävbar i domstol. Hyreslagen i jordabalkens 12:e kapitel ger så små möjligheter att i begränsade fall ta hänsyn till att barn kan beröras av en aThis study takes it start in the political vision zero regarding avoiding evictions of families with children. A thorough investigation of de lege lata gives the result that although Swedish law grants children a social right to housing this right is not defined to the point that it can be claimed in a court of law. Swedish rental property law, 12th chapter of the Land Code, jordabalken, gives nil

The main aim of this paper is to contribute to finding a good solution to the ethical problem of live plucking. The use of new eco-environmental kapok fibres as a coat filler substitute for traditional duckling down was reported. The physical structures of kapok fibre were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal and evaporative resistance properties of twelve sets of traditional

A number of ESCOs in Ontario are expanding their standard business model of energy performance contracting to include financing and expertise for the inclusion of renewable energy generation. This paper is a qualitative exploration of this business practice, referred to here as “renewable energy contracting”. Through semi-structured interviews with ESCO experts and a literature analysis, this rese
