The notion of omnipotence has proved to be quite recalcitrant to analysis. Still, during the last three decades or so, there has resurfaced a clever argument to the effect that, whatever omnipotence is, it cannot be exemplified in God: an allegedly impeccable and all-perfect being. Scrutinizing this argument, however, I find it less than convincing. Moreover, and more importantly, I venture a posi

A new block-oriented language called Friend is proposed. It is designed to support for the implementation of flexible and adaptive embedded control systems. Requirements on a controller are specified using contracts. The use of contracts simplifies the design and implementation of embedded systems that can adapt to altered operating conditions. The contracts allow the system to negotiate about res

This research paper focuses on historical, arithmetic equity market risk premium in emerging and frontier markets. Equity market risk premium, as we know it today, has been easily estimated in developed markets; whereas, emerging and frontier markets often require different approaches to determine an appropriate equity market risk premium. I make use of a variety of methods, including volatility a

This master’s thesis aims to investigate how pilotage contributes to maritime safety and if its criteria can be more risk-based in Sweden. The theory of Resilience Engineering was applied to maritime safety which has extended the concept further. Several aspects of how pilots contribute to maritime safety were identified within the literature and empirical studies. These aspects were the pilots

"Med tanke på att uppvärmningen redan nått cirka en grad, är de närmaste tio årens beslut, investeringar och andra åtgärder avgörande”, skriver fyra forskare.

Under 1960- och 1970-talen etablerades internationellt bistånds- och utvecklingsarbete som en ny och betydelsefull del av svensk utrikespolitik.1 Sedan dess har Sverige förblivit en i internationell jämförelse betydande biståndsgivare, i synnerhet med hänsyn tagen till folkmängd och BNP.2 Genom utvecklingsbiståndet etablerade Sverige bilaterala relationer med länder i andra världsdelar och intog e

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 228 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder. Vi visar också korttidstrender för 12 arter av större däggdjur. Fåglarna har räknats höst, vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan1996) meWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2020 include data from: 564 winter point counts in 2019/2020 (45th winter), of which 274 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 210 summer point count routes (46th year) an
