Hearing is our second most important sense. The main focus of a surveillance camera is obviously the video but the audio shouldn't be neglected. It is possible to hear what the camera can't see and what is said in a conversation can't be showed in a video. Therefore there are good reasons to always try and achieve the best audio possible. This is not an easy task since cameras are oper
The internet has revolutionised our world. The digital ecosphere is dominated for the most part by technology companies. The surveillance business model of these companies seeks to create predictions and inferences based on persons behaviour which can be used to shape, nudge and manipulate towards certain goals. This presents immense challenges to human rights, especially to the right to privacy.
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. Global warming can be considered as a main reason for sea rising levels, extreme heat which is responsible for many forests’ fires, severe dr
Det tilltagande inslaget av ett cyberelement i samhället, i såväl civila som militära kontexter, har lett till en ökande förekomst av cyberoperationer, utförda av individer, grupper eller stater; antingen direkt eller indirekt. Den mellanstatliga rätten till självförsvar utgör ett undantag till stadgans våldsförbud och förutsätter, i såväl art. 51 FN-stadgan som internationell sedvanerätt, ett väpThe increasing presence of a cyber element in our society, in civilian as well as in military contexts, has led to an increased amount of cyber operations, carried out by individuals, groups or states; either directly or indirectly. The right to self-defense between states is an exception to the Charter's prohibition of violence and presupposes, in both Article 51 of the UN Charter and customa
Institutet strafföreläggande införs i svensk rätt år 1948. Syftet med systemet är att effektivt kunna lagföra lindriga och enkla brott, till exempel ringa stöld och olovlig körning. Brottmålsförfarandet tillåter den misstänkte att godkänna ett av åklagaren utfärdat strafföreläggande som avser en påföljd för ett begånget brott. Om den anklagade accepterar strafföreläggandet avstår han eller hon fråThe summary imposition of a fine is introduced into Swedish law in 1948. The purpose of the system is to take legal proceedings more efficiently against minor and simple criminal cases, such as petty theft and unlawful driving. The criminal procedure allows the suspect to approve an injunction filed by the prosecutor regarding a punishment for a committed crime. If the accused accepts the injuncti
Hässleholm Miljö who own the landfill site in Vankiva in southern Sweden are having difficulties in keeping their heavy metal emissions within the limits of their very strict permit. Today reduction is reached by chemical precipitation, but a more effective and environmentally friendly process is wanted. Biological heavy metal removal in leachate water, using sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and me
District cooling is increasing in the society and in many areas two separate infrastructural systems are used for heating and cooling. It’s an expensive and inefficient solution, by utilizing the heat in the return pipe of a district cooling system, one system could be used to supply customers with both heat and cold. By conducting a case study, this master thesis intends to investigate the potent
This research employs qualitative methods to look at the audience site of veganism documentary What The Health. Through semi-structured interviews with 13 participants (6 non-vegetarians and 7 vegetarians), the thesis attempts to understand the self and individual response to veganism portrayal, truth claims and how viewers learn from the documentary. Exploring audiences’ media practices enables r
Disaster risk management efforts currently focus on long-term preventive measures and post-disaster response. Outside of these, there are many short-term actions, such as evacuation or distribution of water purifications tablets, medical supplies or flood response drills, which can be implemented in the period of time between the warning and a potential disaster to reduce the risk of impacts. Howe
The purpose of our master thesis is to locate and find a mathematical model of the road surface from data obtained using LiDAR measure- ments. A LiDAR is an optical instrument that generates a point cloud of its surroundings by measuring distance and intensity. Some LiDARs also generate additional metrics, but for our road model only the distance will be used. However, we will discuss how the inte
Private equity is a growing global phenomena and private equity companies have become a major force in many of Sweden’s industries. These companies own portfolio companies which together employs around 190 000 people and have an annual revenue of over 318 billion SEK. The purpose of this thesis was to describe and analyze the Swedish private equity industry and individual companies’ competitive st
This master thesis project was completed in partnership with Lantmännen, known for producing Gluten Free (GF) PromOat®—a concentrated oat β glucan powder. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the properties of emulsions containing GF PromOat® oat β-glucan. It specifically focuses on the critical overlap concentration, viscosity, and stability before and after high-pressure homogenization
Introduction: This study focused on characterizing the phase transition behavior in water of thermoresponsive cationic diblock copolymers comprised of a cationic and a non-ionic block. Background: Thermoresponsive polymers, especially block copolymers, have long been of interest to researchers within the field of drug delivery systems. However, more research into their phase transition behavior i
Barnets bästa, liksom barnets rätt till skydd mot risken att själv eller någon i familjen far illa, intar en central och överordnad ställning inom svensk familje-rätt. Samtidigt har barnets behov av kontakt med båda sina föräldrar under lång tid utgjort en bärande utgångspunkt i rättstillämpningen. När dessa mot-stående intressen kommer i konflikt, inte minst i situationer där våld före-kommit i n
This thesis examines why forward integration into hospitality remains a selective rather than widespread strategy in the alcohol industry. While strategic theory suggests that owning the point of consumption can strengthen brand control and reduce coordination risk, most alcohol producers continue to rely on third-party venues. This study explores why that gap exists. Drawing on transaction cost e
Objectives: To compare the short- and long-term emotional distress (grief, anxiety and depressive symptoms) after early miscarriage and satisfaction with treatment between women randomized to expectant management vs vaginal misoprostol treatment. Methods: This was a preplanned analysis of data collected during a randomized controlled trial comparing expectant management with misoprostol treatment
BACKGROUND: Although hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is recognized as an important causative factor in the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer (HCC), the strength of this correlation has been difficult to confirm in low-prevalence areas. METHODS: Stored serum samples from 987 consecutive (1978-88) patients with chronic liver disease were tested with an enzyme-linked immunoso
Nanowire array solar cells have reached efficiencies where it becomes feasible to talk about creating tandem solar cells in order to achieve even higher efficiencies. An example of such a tandem solar cell could be a nanowire array embedded in a membrane and integrated on top of a Si bottom cell. Such a system, however, requires understanding and control of its interaction with light, especially t
Walking plays an essential role in sustainable transport systems, as nearly all journeys in the urban environment incorporate walking in one way or another. In parts of the world, for long periods of the year, seasonal variation in daylight hours means that pedestrians must rely on outdoor lighting to make cities accessible after dark. However, outdoor lighting is associated with considerable ener
Introduction: The osmotic conductance to glucose (OCG) is a crucial determinant of ultrafiltration (UF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and can be used to monitor membrane integrity in patients on long-term PD. It has been proposed that OCG can be assessed based on drained volumes in 2 consecutive 1-hour glucose dwells, usually 1.5% and 4.25% glucose, in a so-called double mini-peritoneal equ
