This thesis investigates accessible information to the “interested citizen” about EU-related matters in his/her city, with a theoretical method that departs from Dahl’s (1998) definition of democracy, and focuses especially on the criteria of enlightened understanding. The study consists of analyses of online information and city council debates as well as interviews and mail correspondence with l

Abstract This was a qualitative study about former criminals’ path to criminality and the study consisted of semi structured interviews with six former criminals. The aim of the study was to gain knowledge on why people turn to criminality. We asked our interviewees about what they thought were important factors in their path to criminality, as well as which factors they thought lacked during thei

Intellectual Property Rights’ systems have not yet been admitted as policy instruments favouring economic performance of developing countries, and Intellectual Property itself has not been recognised as an economic asset as yet. While there is strong argument that robust IPR system fosters economic growth and development, suspicions of this argument still hold up in the national and international

The construction sector is a large contributor to carbon dioxide emissions each year, and if the Swedish target for carbon dioxide emissions is to be reached by 2045, something must be done. This case study investigates if there are any sustainable building materials on the market which is made from recycled materials. If that is the case, do these materials reach a satisfactory level of fire safe

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. En rättsdogmatisk metod tillämpas. Utredningen kommer fram tillThe thesis seeks to investigate whether there is a general duty to give notice in the event of a breach of contract in situations not covered by a statutory regulation. A particular purpose is to clarify the inner nature of the legal institute of notification when it comes to contracts on complex intangible services, such as legal advice and investigation services. A legal dogmatic method is appli

This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of

This study aims to evaluate if children's affective experience of every-day travel varies depending on travel mode and destination of travel. More specifically, what are children's reported valence (unpleasantness-pleasantness) and activation (deactivation-activation) while travelling to different destinations and does this experience have spill-over effects on how they perceive activities at the

We analyze the frequency and nature by which new firms are acquired by established businesses. Acquisitions are often considered to reflect a technology transfer process and to also constitute one way in which a "symbiosis" between new technology-based firms (NTBFs) and established businesses is realized. Using a micro-level dataset for Sweden in which we follow new entrants up to 18 years after e

The possibility of using the channel reciprocity between the uplink and downlink channels in Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems to improve the efficiency has been deeply investigated. Previous studies have come to different conclusions for the characterization of the dissimilarity in uplink and downlink channel properties. This paper analyzes the mismatch in directional properties of the upli

We consider the effect of signaling rate (baud rate) on the information rate of single carrier linear transmission systems with Gaussian inputs. Several different communication scenarios are investigated: correlated or uncorrelated symbols, a fixed modulation pulse or a modulation pulse varying with the signaling rate and frequency selective or flat channels. For uncorrelated symbols, we show that

Popular Abstract in Swedish Efter den senaste istiden har klimatet varit dynamiskt med både stora och snabba klimatförändringar, om än inte av samma storlek som under istiden. Hur utbredda och vilka effekter dessa klimatförändringar har haft är dock inte helt kartlagt. Målet med denna avhandling är att i detalj rekonstruera de klimat- och miljöförändringar som har påverkat ögruppen Tristan da CunhIt has been shown that the present interglacial has been climatically dynamic with both rapid and severe climatic fluctuations. The spatial and temporal differences of these changes are however not fully resolved. The aim of this thesis is to present a detail high resolution record of past climate changes from the central South Atlantic. Peat and lacustrine sediment sequences were retrieved from

NGC 595 is, after NGC 604, the second most luminous HII region in theMilky Ways neighbouring spiral galaxy M 33. Its Wolf-Rayet starcontent has mainly been unveiled by two different channels. On the onehand, the stellar population of NGC 595 has been resolved and its WRstars identified through on-line/off-line HeIIlambda4686 observationsrealised with the HST. Nevertheless, due to the limited numbe

We consider designing demodulators for linear vector channels that use reduced-size trellis descriptions for the received signal. We assume an iterative receiver and use interference cancellation (IC) with soft-information provided by an outer decoder to mitigate the signal part that is not covered by a reduced-size trellis description. In order to reach a trellis description, a linear filter is a

The distribution of Parmelia ernstiae in Denmark and neighbouring areas has been determined from herbarium studies and DNA analyses of fresh material. It occurs on bark, mainly deciduous, and wood, in all parts of the country except for western Jutland.
