The Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) provides an alternative means of antenna synthesis in compact mobile handsets by taking into account the chassis. This makes it possible to create dual-element Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas in mobile handsets with very little coupling and correlation between the two antennas. But apart from the antennas, modern mobile phones are each equipp

Den första delen av arbetet gick ut på att ta fram och utvärdera en behandlingsmetod som kan användas för att på ett kontrollerbart sätt minska den specifika ytan på amorf silika med hög porositet. Den specifika ytan är en viktig egenskap för amorf silika när det kommer till dess applikationer som absorptions- och adsorptionsmaterial. Parametrarna som studerades var pordiameter, partikelstorlek, t

Det finns ingen rätt till asyl, men det finns en rätt att inte återsändas till förföljelse. Denna rätt omfattas av principen om non-refoulement, som uttrycks i artikel 3 EKMR, och är en grundläggande del i skyddet för individuella rättigheter. Dublinförordningen presumerar att EU länder är säkra och utpekar vilket land som ansvarar för att pröva en asylansökan. Förordningen tillåter att den sökandThere is no right to asylum, but there is a right not to be returned to persecution. The principle of non-refoulement, which is expressed in article 3 ECHR, encompasses this right and it is an essential part of individual rights protection. The Dublin Regulation presumes that EU member state are safe and it designates which member state is responsible to try an application for asylum. The regulati

An engineering approach to the evaluation of the TCP as a narrowband bearer for short messages in the low latency train-trackside communication scenario is described in this report. The project was developed in cooperation with Bombardier Transportation Sweden AB as a part of the “ETCS over GPRS” venture. With the increase of the demands from the railway industry, the currently used circuit-switc

1. Migratory birds show predictable annual routines, divided in breeding and wintering in separate areas and migration in-between. For obligate insectivorous birds this includes continental-wide journeys. How birds perform these schedules and how they time their use of space is not well understood. 2. I have used geolocator-derived data to describe the non-breeding movement of 14 individually tra

Validation of gene × environment interaction results from epidemiological studies in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is usually hampered by insufficient statistical power. Genotype-based recall (GBR) refers to the design of studies in which subgroups of the population are selected based on their genotypes. In this thesis we test if a GBR approach of recruiting two groups of participants with dis

Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a growing and serious health problem worldwide with highest incidence in developed countries and among children. It is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, characterized by destruction of β-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, resulting in deficient insulin secretion and hyperglycemia. The cause of the dis

Thesis Purpose: The objective of this study is to research how vocal green companies can use green claims in online marketing advertisement text with the aim to recommend ways in which they can positively impact the purchase intention of environmentally friendly fashion products. Methodology: In this quantitative study, the data is analysed through correlations, after which significant difference

A growing research field shows that climate mitigation measures can entail numerous co-benefits for other policy areas, including improved air quality, enhanced energy security and reduced maintenance costs. One possible strategy for enhancing climate action can be to emphasize these co-benefits. However, research has shown that co-benefits are seldom included when climate mitigation measures are

The common carotid artery (CCA), the artery that supplies our brains with oxygen, is of great importance in stroke research. The usual way to monitor the artery is by using ultrasound (US) imaging. An automated way of segmenting out the arteries from the US images is desired to optimize research. With an upswing in development of convolutional neural networks (CNN), this is now possible. CNN uses

After the financial crisis in 2008, governments became more aware about how multinational enterprises exploited gaps in the architecture of the international tax system in the globalized world to artificially shift profits to places where there was little or no taxation. It is estimated that base erosion and profit shifting cost countries 100-240 billion USD in lost revenue annually which is equal

In digital integrated circuits, memories are often a limiter for main performance, power and area. Over the past decade, integrated memories have gained dominance in terms of area and power cost. In applications like machine learning or image processing the area share can be above 80% consuming more than 50% of the total power budget. On-chip memories in CMOS technologies can be categorized as sta

Under de senaste åren har en ny grupp av unionsmedborgare, de som i uppsatsen definieras som ekonomiskt utsatta, utnyttjat sin fria rörlighet för att resa till och uppehålla sig i Sverige. I och med detta uppkommer nya rättsliga frågor och problem, bland annat vilken rätt till vård som barnen till dessa ekonomiskt utsatta unionsmedborgare har. Barnkonventionen, som blir svensk lag i januari 2020, In recent years a new group of EU citizens, those defined in this essay as economically vulnerable, have used their right to free movement to travel to and reside in Sweden. With this, new legal problems and issues arise, including what right to healthcare the children of these economically vulnerable EU citizens have. The Untied Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child(CRC), which becomes Sw

2018 infördes det andra betaltjänstdirektivet, PSD2. Direktivet har till syfte att skapa en harmoniserad och öppen betaltjänstmarknad, samt att stärka konsumentens roll på marknaden. I och med PSD2 utvidgades begreppet betaltjänst och omfattar nu betalningsinitieringstjänster och kontoinformationstjänster, samt leverantörer av dessa betaltjänster, så kallade tredjepartsleverantörer. Med PSD2 kom oIn 2018 the new payment service directive, PSD2, was implemented within the EU. The goals of the directive is to harmonize the payment service market and to strengthen the consumers role on the market. In the directive the definition of a payment service is extended to include two new types of services; Account Information Services and Payment Initiation Services, as well as the providers of these

Ekonomisk ersättning till brottsoffer kan ta olika former och betalas av olika aktörer. De regler som avgör ersättningens storlek föreskriver ibland jämkning eller sänkning av beloppet på diverse grunder. Denna jämkning kan av brottsoffer potentiellt upplevas som en “sekundär viktimisering”. I detta arbete kartläggs grunderna för jämkning av ersättning till brottsoffer i svensk rätt och analyserasMonetary compensation to victims of crime can take different forms and be paid by different actors. The rules for calculating the compensation sometimes mandate reduction of the amount awarded for various reasons. This reduction can potentially be experienced by victims as a “secondary victimisation”. In the present work, the factors behind reduction of victim compensation in Swedish law and what
