Popular Abstract in Swedish Den globala uppvärmningen av vår jord påverkar inte bara lufttemperaturen, utan även haven blir varmare. Dessutom förespås en ökning i nederbörd vilket kommer att göra havens ytvatten mindre salta. Temperaturförändringen och den ökade nederbörden kan leda till att skiktningen, den s.k. vertikala stratifieringen, som finns naturligt i haven blir skarpare och starkare. StIncreasing precipitation and surface water temperature due to global change may strengthen stratification in coastal regions, which could influence the behavior of dinoflagellate diel vertical migration (DVM). DVM is a behavioral mechanism by which dinoflagellates can access photosynthetically active radiation near the surface, and nutrients at depth. During this process, cells may need to cross b

We present the complete next-to-leading-order (NLO) contributions to the pp→e+νeμ-ν̄μbb̄+X process in the four-flavor scheme, i.e., with massive b quarks, and its contribution to the H→WW(*) →llνν measurement in the 1-jet bin at the LHC. This background process includes top pair, single top, and non-top-quark resonant contributions. The uncertainty at NLO from the renormalization and factorization

As part of the Virus-X Consortium that aims to identify and characterize novel proteins and enzymes from bacteriophages and archaeal viruses, the genes of the putative lytic proteins XepA from Bacillus subtilis prophage PBSX and YomS from prophage SPβ were cloned and the proteins were subsequently produced and functionally characterized. In order to elucidate the role and the molecular mechanism o

Syftet med min uppsats är att utreda huruvida Sverige uppfyller sina olika förpliktelser rörande barnperspektivet vid åldersbedömningar av ensamkommande asylsökande i övre tonåren. För att göra detta har jag valt att tillämpa en rättsdogmatisk metod och ett internkritiskt perspektiv. Som material valde jag lagtext, förarbeten, myndigheters rekommendationer och ställningstaganden, internationella kThe purpose of my essay is to examinate if Sweden fulfills its obligations towards children in age assessments of asylum seekers in their teens. To do this, I have applied the right dogmatic method and used a inter-critical perspective. As material I chosed laws, legislative history, recommendations and positions of authorities, international conventions and doctrine. The delimitations of the essa

The bachelor course AAHF30 - Architecture in the Contemporary explores various digital processes and fabrication techniques to address critical climate change issues through an individual design in the form of a naturum. The Notus naturum project originated from observing a site characterized by flat terrain and strong winds, prompting an investigation into wind's impact on ecosystems and clim

Inom företagsgrupper kan möjlighet till en gränsöverskridande resultatutjämning mellan bolagen utgöra en väsentlig fördel. Resultatutjämningsregler kan dock skilja sig åt mellan olika länder eftersom dessa regler inte är harmoniserade av EU-lagstiftning. De enskilda EU-länderna använder sig härvid av specifika begrepp för att benämna koncerners särskilda skattestatus. Det är nämligen bara en koncWithin groups of companies can the possibility to neutralize the result between companies constitute a significant advantage. Group relief systems may differ between countries because the rules are not harmonized by EU-legislation. The individual EU countries use here specific terms to denote groups' special tax status. It is only a group that meets certain conditions that can get the special

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur och varför lagstiftningen kring påföljden livstidsstraff vid mord har förändrats under de senaste 15 åren, 1999-2014, i Sverige samt de bakomliggande tankegångarna. Uppsatsen presenteras ur ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv. För att kunna ge en bättre bakgrund har en kort historisk bakgrund presenterats som sedan övergår i uppsatsens avhandling gällande de senaThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how and why the legislation concerning the sentence of life imprisonment for murder has changed in Sweden over the past 15 years, 1999-2014, and the thought process behind the changes. The investigation will be presented from a legal historical perspective. In order to explain the development a short historical background has presented the thoughts behi

The refugee crisis of 2015/2016, has not only challenged the political actors and the civil society of Germany, but also its businesses. Appealed by politicians, few German companies have started contributing to the integration of refugees into the labour market, mainly in form of donations, employee commitment and occupational preparation courses. This constitutes a new field of Corporate Social

Sedan tillkomsten av den nuvarande rättegångsbalken på 1940-talet har utgångspunkten i svensk rätt varit att bevisprövningen ska vara fri och inte styrd av legala normer. Detta hindrade emellertid inte lagstiftaren från att i förarbetena ställa upp krav på att bevisprövningen skulle vara objektiv och analytisk. Som en följd därav utvecklades ett antal bevisprövningsmetoder i den juridiska doktrineSince the creation of the present Code of Judicial Procedure in the 1940s the basis in Swedish law has been a free sifting of evidence, which is not governed by legal norms. This, however, did not prevent the legislator from demanding in the preparatory works that the sifting of evidence should be objective and analytical. As a consequence thereof, a number of methods for sifting the evidence deve

Genetic engineering of molds to produce new pharmaceutical compounds In this master’s thesis project, I investigated natural chemicals produced by fungi which are interesting for the pharmaceutical industry. Fungi are a very large family of organisms that we are still working to understand, and we continue to discover many new species every year. Living by growing on food sources and secreting en

Popular Abstract in Swedish Magnetisk resonanstomografi: Patienters upplevelser och betydelsen av anpassad information och förberedelse för vuxna och barn. Magnetisk resonanstomografi (MRT) har sedan tidigt 1980-tal ökat i betydelse och är idag en vanlig undersökning för både vuxna och barn. Undersökningen innebär att patienten ligger i en smal tunnel i magnetkameran och när bilderna tas hörs kraMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming an increasingly common form of exami¬nation for both adults and children. Although it is non-invasive and considered painless, both adults and children experience anxiety during the examination. The technique is sensitive to motion and for that reason many children are anaesthetised. The aim of this thesis was to improve patient care through exploring a

Background: Sugarcane is an attractive feedstock for ethanol production, especially if the lignocellulosic fraction can also be treated in second generation (2G) ethanol plants. However, the profitability of 2G ethanol is affected by the processing conditions, operating costs and market prices. This study focuses on the minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) and maximum profitability of ethanol prod

Principen om barnets bästa ska vara avgörande i alla frågor som rör vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Den bärande principen återfinns i både FN:s barnkonvention och i föräldrabalken. Principen ska fungera som en rättslig vägledning vid alla utredningar i mål som rör barn, men det finns ingen universellt fastslagen definition av vad som faktiskt är barnets bästa. Utgångspunkterna är att bedöma barnets b

The present work aims to quantify the impact of climate change (CC) on the grain yields of irrigated cereals and their water requirements in the Tensift region of Morocco. The Med-CORDEX (MEDiterranean COordinated Regional Climate Downscaling EXperiment) ensemble runs under scenarios RCP4.5 (Representative Concentration Pathway) and RCP8.5 are first evaluated and disaggregated using the quantile-q

Sverige blev medlem i den Europeiska unionen 1995. En viktig del i samarbetet är upprättandet av den inre marknaden. EG-fördraget är garanten för att fri rörlighet för varor, tjänster, kapital och personer ska vara möjlig mellan medlemsstaterna. Några hinder för den fria rörligheten får inte förekomma på dessa områden. EG-domstolen ser till att EG-fördragets bestämmelser efterlevs av medlemsstater

Utbrottet av den globala pandemin våren 2020, inneburit omvälvande förändringar för i stort sett alla människor och verksamheter. Privilegier som fri rörlighet och mötesfrihet har sedan utbrottet bytts ut mot strikta restriktioner i de flesta länder vilket drivit många branscher in i krisläge och därmed förändringsarbete. Fastighetsbranschen är inget undantag. Sedan folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenSince the outbreak of the pandemic early 2020, the world has experienced disruptive change in many of its foundations. Privileges as free movement, the freedom of assembly and simply being able to go to the movies have been replaced by strict local and national policies, limiting humans and companies. The Covid-19 agenda has forced a lot of businesses into crisis mode with transformation as a cons

Buildings are responsible for approximately 30% of global energy use, with HVAC systems accounting for 40% of that demand. Among these, data centers have become significant energy consumers, requiring highly efficient and stable cooling solutions. This project aims to explore data-driven control methods to improve the energy efficiency of data center cooling systems as well as reduce the effort an
