The aim of this work is to investigate different methods to solve the problem of allocating the correct amount of resources (network bandwidth and storage space) to video camera systems.

At this day, there are no mandatory rules governing multimodal transport, but a process of creating a set of rules are pending both within UNCITRAL as well as the European Union.

This thesis set the goal to contribute to the fields of diaspora studies and cultural studies from a media and communication studies angle by addressing the blank spots ‘white minorities’ and book use. White diasporas are nearly invisible within academia and very often ‘under the radar’ in society as well. Books are underresearched within media studies in favour of other media. On the other hand,

Economic inequality is growing rapidly worldwide. Despite research showing that higher inequality within a society corresponds with a higher rate of public health and social problems, there exist little organized resistance against the neo-liberal economic policies that allow the super-rich to pull away from the rest of the population. Even though the causes of poverty cannot be separated from the

Offentlig upphandling handlar om hur den offentliga sektorn ska agera vid inköp och har därmed en betydande påverkan på samhällsekonomin. Essentiella samhällsfunktioner som exempelvis sjukvård och skolor tillgodoses genom offentlig upphandling. Eftersom inköpen görs via skattemedel har samhällsmedborgare ett intresse av att förfarandet går rätt till. Vidare har leverantörer ett intresse av att förPublic procurement concerns how the public sector should act when making purchases and therefore has a great impact on the national economy.

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för 21% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser (Boverket, 2023a). För att synliggöra och därigenom minska klimatpåverkan vid uppförandet av nya byggnader blev det den 1 januari 2022 obligatoriskt att genomföra klimatdeklaration av nya byggnader som kräver bygglov, med vissa undantag (Boverket, 2021a). Klimatdeklarationen ska redovisa klimatpåverkan från

The market for Wi-Fi receiver designs for latest Wi-Fi standards, that cover RF bands in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz spectrum, require increasingly stringent power consumption limitations as more of the market is driven towards battery-powered devices. In order to meet those needs, it is crucial to explore different ways of reducing power consumption in various receiver blocks. One such power con

Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda rättsläget i frågan om en allmän reklamationsplikt vid avtalsbrott i situationer som inte omfattas av någon lagreglering. Ett särskilt syfte är att klargöra reklamationsplikten närmare beskaffenhet när det handlar om avtal om komplexa immateriella tjänster, såsom rådgivnings- och undersökningstjänster.

Introduction: PARP14 is overexpressed and plays an essential role in the survival of many kinds of cancer cells and in inflammatory diseases, and its inhibition could prove to be a future medical treatment. Background: It is still unknown which structures contribute more to PARP14 binding, and because of how conserved the catalytic domain is in the PARP family, the inhibitors need to be selective

The study of relationship between well-being and living space is an actively expanding field across psychology, anthropology, history, archeology, architecture, interior design and philosophy. The human condition in relation to environmental factors has several scientific conclusions in terms of physical effect and mental health – green foliage, sunlight, certain proportions and ergonomic conditio
