The essay deals with implications for Human Rights development in light of China's rise to power. It discusses the problem from three perspectives, China's Human Rights commitment, the clash between western and Asian values and China's potential influence. It is mainly an overview and discussion of the problems and complexities involved in the development. From these three perspective

In this thesis, we evaluate the side-channel security of the NIST HQC post-quantum cryptosystem by analysing the official FPGA decapsulation implementation. A hardware wrapper was created to interact with the HQC decapsulation modules, enabling ciphertext decapsulation with precise power trace capturing using a ChipWhisperer CW305 and Husky setup. A dataset with 20k power traces was generated from

As plastic pollution in aquatic environments persists, gaining a deeper understanding of nanoparticles has become increasingly important. Yet, the question remains: what happens to plastic as it breaks down into smaller components, and ultimately, what end products are formed? Current plastic degradation methods are limited in their environmental applicability and efficiency. This study aims to pr

Denna uppsats undersöker vilken tyngd Mark- och miljööverdomstolen (MMÖD) har gett naturvårdsintresset ur ett miljöskyddsperspektiv, i förhållande till motstående intresse för exploatering av naturresurser, i tillståndsprövningar för täktverksamheter. Med anledning av syftet så är studien begränsad till att beakta relevant rättspraxis under 2000-talet. Naturresurser är ofta bevarade och lagrade iThis thesis investigates what weight the Land and Environmental Court of Appeal (MMÖD) has given aspects of natural protection, in comparison to conflicting interests for exploitation of natural resources, in assessments of permitting processes of quarries. For this purpose, the study is limited to relevant case law in the 21st century. Natural resources are often preserved and embedded in enviro

Detta arbete undersöker om de föreskrifter som ger lag från lägre divisioner automatisk hemmaplan i Svenska Cupen (fotboll) har begränsat de totala intäkter som genereras av hemmalagen i cupen. Rådande föreskrifter för Svenska Cupen gör att majoriteten av matcherna spelas på laget från den lägre divisionens hemmaplan. Data kring publiksnitt och biljettpriser har samlats in för att kunna simulera h

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if and how CEO ownership affects firm performance on Swedish companies depending on the market conditions. We would also like to examine the question if this relationship still holds when taking the possibility of an endogeneity determined relationship into account. A quantitative approach using regression analysis and descriptive statistics have been used.

The removal of snow and ice from aircraft prior to take-off is a major task at all airports located in cold climates. Currently the removal of ice and snow is carried out using large amounts of costly and environmentally harmful glycol that is sprayed onto the outer surface of the aircraft. Tougher environmental regulations and a cost conscious market have created a growing need for alternative me

Access to electricity is important to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The centralized model of large thermal power stations and a central grid is a conventional system to supply electricity to consumers. This centralized model has failed to provide electricity and to achieve the rural electrification objective in developing countries. Un-electrified areas of the developing world are

Due to the current return of federal aspirations among European politicians in relation to the current economic crisis and integration dead end, this thesis is interested in examining if the United States of Europe, meaning a federal union of the Member States of the European Union (EU), would be a desired state of integration or if it is still a federalistic utopia. Using the theoretical approach

Public procurement has the potential to serve as a strategic driver for circular economy implementation and urban sustainability transitions. Purpose: This study explores how municipalities incorporate circular requirements into construction project procurement processes. The aim is to identify practical strategies that support circular implementation in construction projects. Methodology: U

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kvävekoncentrationen i den gröna biomassan hos vegetation är involverad i många olika biokemiska processer i det terrestra ekosystemet. Till exempel så påverkar den fotosyntesen, förmultning och evaportanspirationen, för att nämna några. Därför är den också ofta en av grundparametrarna och drivkraften i olika ekosystem-modeller. Att mäta kvävehalten hos blad/barNitrogen in the green biomass of vegetation plays an important role in many biochemical processes in the terrestrial ecosystems, and often used as an input parameter to ecosystem models. It strongly influences photosynthetic rate, decomposition, and evaportanspiration, to name a few. Measuring nitrogen in field involves a lot of time and money, and it would be valuable if this part of the data col

The end of the Multi-Fiber Agreement in January 2005 meant that quantitative restrictions within the textile and clothing industry were to be abolished. Quantitative restrictions had been used on the export of goods from low-wage countries which threatened producers in developed countries. With the end of the MFA the world market is significantly more accessible for textile and clothing producers

The topic of this thesis is the preliminary ruling institution found in article 234 EC and especially the obligation of national courts of last instance to refer questions to the Court of Justice in paragraph three of this article. This institution is based on a co-operation between the ECJ and national courts giving each of the two types of courts their own tasks and responsibilities. More specif

Despite the worldwide importance of entrepreneurship, economic research on this topic has been only fragmented so far. Therefore, the goal of this study was firstly to find a common ground between the established neoclassical, endogenous and institutional growth frameworks on the one hand and the entrepreneurial school on the other hand. For this purpose the distinctive models developed by Solow,

Cell type deconvolution - the computational estimation of cellular composition in bulk tissue samples - is a valuable tool in cancer research for understanding immune infiltration and tissue heterogeneity. Most deconvolution algorithms infer the composition of cell types in bulk samples by modeling the observed expression data as a linear combination of reference expression profiles from each cell
