Surface roughness is one of the main challenges for the growing industry of additive manufacturing. Not only are surfaces rougher than on components produced by conventional means, but there is also a great variation within a single component as well. In this thesis, we have studied the surface roughness of AM components using focused variant microscope and X-ray computer tomography. This is used

Rätten till en rättvis rättegång är en nödvändighet i en modern rättsstat, men i och med de nya globala konflikternas förändrade natur har den stött på nya utmaningar. Soldaters immunitet för vissa handlingar i krigstid är väletablerad sedan Genèvekonventionernas tillkomst, men de nya konflikternas aktörer uppfyller sällan kraven för sådan immunitet. Särskilt kriget mot den globala terrorismen har

I takt med att klimatförändringarna får allt större inverkan på människors liv och vardag ökar antalet rättstvister vars talan grundar sig i ett anspråk om att en mänsklig rättighet har kränkts i och med klimatförändringarna. Käromålet utgår från att en rättighet har kränkts med anledning av klimatförändringarna, och att staten bör hållas ansvarig på grund av dess försumliga eller bristfälliga han

This thesis aims to investigate the potential of Ethiopian media in promoting citizen participation and contributing to the process of democratization. The research navigates through the media policy document and the day to day media operation guided by theoretical and methodological discussions. The thesis primarily uses qualitative analysis of media policy content supported by expert interview

Commercial fishing makes the coastal inlet in Hornafjörður to an important navigational link for the port of Höfn in southeast Iceland. Low water depth caused through sediment accumulation along the ebb shoal generates navigational problems and the phenomenon of glacial rebound seems to intensify this problem. Economic losses caused by the inability of fishing boats to navigate through the coastal

The study considers the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines subject to minimization of the maximum completion time and the maximum tardiness expressed in a linear convex objective function. The maximum completion time or makespan is the date when the last job to be completed leaves the system. The maximum tardiness is indicated by the job that is completed with the longest delay rela

Evacuation is a crucial policy to mitigate wildfire impacts. Understanding traffic dynamics during a wildfire evacuation can help authorities to improve in improving emergency management plans, thus improving life safety. In this study, we developed a methodology to extract historical traffic data from vehicle detector stations and automate the analysis of traffic dynamics for actual wildfire evac

Policies for shifting household electricity load are in focus in several countries, aimed at optimizing grid operation and tackling current and expected challenges from consumption patterns, like increased peak loads on the grid. Central here are recent developments in capacity charges, where the use of significant amounts of grid capacity is priced high, compared to the traditional pricing of ele

The existence of postglacial faults (PGFs) in northern Fennoscandia was first documented in Finland in the last century. Subsequently, over a dozen large PGFs have been observed in Finland, Sweden and Norway. PGFs have been investigated through geophysical methods, trenching and mapping of brittle deformation structures. No direct measurements of the age of faulting exist, although relative ages w
