The orchid Coeloglossum viride (L.) Hartm. has a circumboreal distribution and is widespread in the Nordic countries, especially in the boreal and montane regions. Whereas plants from the lowlands are generally slender and have greenish-yellowish flowers, plants from mountain areas tend to be low-growing with fewer, reddish-brown flowers, leading some authors to recognize the latter as a separate

In recent years new ways to deal with trade barriers, aside from the traditional tariff and quota reductions, has been introduced to trade negotiations. These have the collective name of trade facilitation and focuses on the less visible parts of barriers to trade. As this started to be discussed in policy circles economic research picked up interest as well. However, focus in the research has bee

Elastic and scalable compute resources are a fundamental part of cloud computing. Efficient management of cloud resources is crucial in order to provide high quality services and applications. In this work we present a novel method for scaling cloud resources and provide stability guarantees. We do this by leveraging ideas and concepts from classic control theory, namely mid-range control and combElastic and scalable compute resources are a fundamental part of cloud computing.

In this report the function of an eccentric drive (Cyclo Drive) is evaluated. The drive transfers torque between two parallel axes. The eccentric drive is used in a differential in an all-wheel drive system made by BorgWarner. The purpose of the Cyclo Drive is to transfer torque between two parallel-displaced axles without eccentric rotation. The mechanism consists of three discs with the middle

Recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally. One clear example of this is the increased prevalence of wildfires in recent years and increasing wildfire potentialRecently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally.

AbstractOrganizational routines that are critical to learning, flexibility, and adaptation explain the behavior of the business organization. When organizational routines cross the boundary of the organization, variability and stability are affected. This study emphasizes organizational routines committed in specific outsourcing or insourcing situations to clarify the dynamics of organizational roOrganizational routines that are critical to learning, flexibility, and adaptation explain the behaviour of the business organization.

Understanding individual risk taking is an important topic in Africa, as access to financial institutions and social security is scarce, and where markets and government policies largely fail to understand investment decisions of poor households. Data on risk attitudes in Africa is limited and the available data collected might not be reliable. We investigate the determinants of risk attitudes in Understanding individual risk taking is an important topic in Africa, as access to financial institutions and social security is scarce, and where markets and government policies largely fail to understand investment decisions of poor households.

Mass migrations are a phenomenon of all times. Notably, following the Second World War, there have been huge migration movements and decolonisation processes, particularly by the Germans and the Jews, but also by Roma and other groups. Parallel to that, in 1963, Protocol No. 4 to the Convention was signed, with Article 4 prohibiting the collective expulsion of aliens. In 2020, 3,6% of the populati

The essay is a comparative study between the Swedish regulation of spousal maintenance after divorce and the corresponding French regulation of prestation compensatoire which directly translates to provision of compensation. The regulations differ, particularly, because French law includes a ground for refusal related to the issue of fault in the divorce. To explain the difference, the significanc

This report will examine the reliability of calculation methods used for concrete structures in the serviceability limit state. A comparison between the different methods will be done, based on calculations of the reliability index for these methods. This comparison will be the base for a discussion about what norm that should be prefferd in different situations and what level of reliability the c

The question and purpose of this thesis is to evaluate whether the cooperation within the Schengen Agreement regarding asylum politics is common or shared? By common is meant that the member states act in common and follow the regulation jointly. Whereas, shared is defined as a regulation which provide room for interpretation and implementation on national level. This thesis is based on literature

Iran has gone through a very rapid urbanization in the last six decades. The fast pace of urbanization of the country calls for an integrated planning to move towards sustainable urban development and resilient and livable cities. Despite five decades of history in preparation of urban plans and two decades of history since the introduction of urban management in Iran, the urban policymaking, in p
