Spectroscopic model characterisation of hot exoplanet atmospheres

Hot Jupiters are gas giants under intense stellar radiation with short orbital periods of only a few days. Due to their large radii, hot temperatures, and large scale heights, hot Jupiters can be observationally characterised in detail through spectroscopy over an entire orbital phase. Transmission spectroscopy is one of the tools that aid us in understanding the complex chemistry of exoplanet atm

On the Energy Dependence of Parameters in PYTHIA8 Heavy-ion Collision Simulations

Particle collisions are an essential component to the research methodology of particle physics. These investigations are not only conducted in experimental laboratories but also through programs such as PYTHIA that simulate a collision or ``event" and then compare its results to known experimental data. This thesis aims to investigate the energy dependence of parameters used in PYTHIA's A

Rethinking organic municipal solid waste management in Kenyan urban areas

Organic waste forms a big share of municipal solid waste, especially in developing countries. Its management is however faced with many challenges ranging from limited financial and technical capacity to lack of, or weak policy enforcement. This causes poor management of the waste leading to open dumping and disposal in un-engineered landfills. Such practices have adverse effects on both the envir

Understanding China’s New Fertility Policy System through ‘Incrementalism’: Inferences from Online Articles Published by China Population and Development Research Center

In the ongoing transformation from previous “one-child policy” to current “two-/three-child policy” in China, the newly issued “supporting measures” system is highlighted to be crucial to boosting fertility. Extant studies on the issue are mostly limited to idealized discussions, while lacking a Public Administration perspective to comprehensively understand the real policy process. To compensate

Trade-offs between land conservation and agricultural production: Case study of the Spanish Lookout area and the Belize Maya Forest Reserve

Habitat destruction (evidenced in land use change) represents one of the biggest threats to environmental resources and biodiversity. In the tropics, this threat is maximized as deforestation frontiers have expanded into natural ecosystems at increasing rates over the last decades for agricultural cropping and livestock husbandry. Protected areas have been conventionally established against this g

Personlig integritet – ett minne blott? - En redogörelse för den svenska regleringen om hemliga tvångsmedel och användandet av bevismaterial från vissa krypterade kommunikationstjänster

Hemliga tvångsmedel är ett fragmenterat och komplext område inom svensk rätt. Lagstiftningen är utspridd i flera olika lagar med en stor mängd korshänvisningar. Dessutom görs en åtskillnad om hemliga tvångsmedel företas inom ramen för en förundersökning eller i preventivt syfte. Anledningen till att lagstiftningen ser ut som den gör torde vara på grund av den fortgående teknik- och samhällsutvecklSecret coercive measures are a fragmented and complex area within Swedish law. The legislation is spread across several different laws with a large amount of cross-references. In addition, a distinction is made if secret coercive measures are carried out during a preliminary investigation or for preventive purposes. The reason why the legislation looks this way is most probably because the ongoing

Uppsatsens syfte är att med hjälp av multimodal analys av omtal och tilltal samt kommunikativa handlingar undersöka vilka möjligheter till identifikation och interaktion som erbjuds böckernas läsare. Analysen undersöker huruvida böckernas framställning av sitt innehåll präglas av n

Skiljeavtal i Arbetsrätten

Tvister i dispositiva tvistemål kan genom avtal mellan parterna avgöras i ett skiljeförfarande. På arbetsrättens område råder frihet för parterna att avtala om ett sådant men det kan anses oskäligt i vissa fall. Det uppställs krav på synlighet när det kommer till klausulens placering i det aktuella avtalet. Detta krav uppställs i EU-direktivet 91/533/EEG, 1991. Detta innefattar även så kallad traDisputes in dispositive litigation can be settled by parties in an arbitration procedure regulated by the parties' agreement. Within labour law, the parties are free to agree on such a matter, but it can be considered unreasonable in some cases. There is also an obligation for the employer to inform the employee of the presence of an arbitration clause or a reference to such a clause in a col

An examination of the criteria for valid consent under the GDPR in the light of the rationale and technological neutrality

I syfte att säkerställa den grundläggande rätten till skydd av data samt att motverka fragmenteringen av dataskyddsrätten inom EU infördes den allmänna dataskyddsförordningen, ’GDPR’. För att personuppgiftsbehandling ska vara tillåtet under GDPR, krävs det rättslig grund, exempelvis samtycke. För särskilda behandlingsändamål inom elektronisk kommunikation fastställer ePrivacy-direktivet att enbartAs a means to safeguard the fundamental right to data protection in light of the rapid advancement of use of technology and to address the fragmented implementation of data protection, the GDPR was introduced. For processing of personal data to be lawful under the GDPR, processing must have a legal basis, such as consent. The ePrivacy Directive establishes that consent is the only valid legal basi

Övervakning och integritet i arbetslivet – Om arbetsgivares övervakning av arbetstagares elektroniska kommunikation

Den tekniska utvecklingen och förändrade arbetsformer gör att det i dag är enklare än någonsin för arbetsgivare att kontrollera och övervaka arbetstagare. Under senare år har det blivit allt vanligare att arbetsgivare övervakar arbetstagares elektroniska kommunikation. Med elektronisk kommunikation avses arbetstagares kommunikation via användningen av arbetsgivares IT-utrustning och internetanslutDue to technical developments and changed forms of working, it is now easier than ever for employers to control and monitor employees. In recent years, it has become increasingly common for employers to monitor employees’ electronic communications. Electronic communication refers to employee communication via the use of the employer’s IT equipment and internet connection. The most prevalent form o

När statskassan väger tyngre än människovärdet – Det svenska deltagandet i den transatlantiska slavhandeln från slutet på 1700-talet till mitten på 1800-talet

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och analysera diskussionerna kring det svenska deltagandet i den transatlantiska slavhandeln i slutet på 1700-talet och debatten om avskaffandet av den svenska slavhandeln och slaveriet i mitten på 1800-talet. Detta görs med hjälp av en rättshistorisk metod med analytiskt inslag. När den svenske löjtnanten Ulrik Nordenskiöld lämnade in sin skrift rörande eThis essay aims to examine and analyze the discussions of the Swedish participation in the transatlantic slave trade at the end of the 18th century and the debate concerning the abolishment of the Swedish slave trade and slavery in the middle of the 19th century. To examine this topic, a legal historical method with an analytical element will be used. When the Swedish lieutenant Ulrik Nordenskiöl

Act as if our house is on fire - A study on rights-based climate litigation and its prospects for intergenerational climate justice

Enligt nyligen publicerade vetenskapliga rapporter blir planeten varmare i en takt aldrig tidigare skådad. Om inte utsläppen av växthusgaser minskas kraftigt så kommer temperaturmålet på 1,5 °C som fastställdes i Parisavtalet att överskridas. Även om alla påverkas av klimatförändringar på ett eller annat sätt så är barn särskilt sårbara för effekterna. Unga generationer idag kommer också att få taAccording to recently published scientific reports, the planet is getting warmer at an unprecedented rate. The temperature goal of 1,5°C set in the Paris Agreement will be exceeded unless deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are made. While everyone feels the effects of climate change, children are particularly vulnerable to them and will also be left with the impacts for a longer time. Con

Att hålla en utlänning som är tagen i förvar avskild - tvångsmedel inom Migrationsverkets förvarsverksamhet

Trots att lagstiftningen kring att avskilja en utlänning från andra som hålls i förvar har funnits en längre tid har detta varit ett område som är föga behandlat inom olika rättskällor. Detta framstod för mig som något konfunderande och syftet med denna uppsats var därför att undersöka hur rättsläget kring beslut enligt 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen ser ut. Uppsatsen hade även som syfte att undersökaEven though the legislation around separating a foreigner from others who are held in custody has existed for a long time, this has been an area that is little treated in various legal sources. This appeared to me to be somewhat confusing, and the purpose of this essay was therefore to examine how the legal situation regarding decisions according to 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen. looks like. The essa

Rättsteoretiska studier i anledning av skuldprincipens frånvaro i svensk skadeståndsrätt

Den här uppsatsen är ägnad en studie i rättsligt ansvar på grund av skuld. De två subdisciplinerna skadeståndsrätt respektive straffrätt möts i fråga om ett rättsligt ansvar – en rättslig skyldighet – att ofrivilligt prestera någonting på grund av rättsordningens underkännande av ett visst tillvägagångssätt. Men på vilken grund vilar denna skyldighet? Inom civilrätten talas allt som oftast om skulThis is a study regarding legal liability due to guilt. The two sub-disciplines of tort law and criminal law meet in terms of a legal responsibility – a legal obligation – to involuntarily perform something due to the legal system's disapproval of a certain course of action. But on what basis does this obligation rest? In civil law, the debt is most often spoken of as the obligation that follo

Adaptive Server Control for Low-Latency Applications over the Cellular Network

Queue latency is a fundamental part of end-to-end latency and ensuring low end-to-end latency is crucial for a good quality of service in the upcoming 5G and 6G applications. In this work we present a model capturing the essential dynamics of an end-to-end cellular system upon which we derive a control structure that is suitable for tractable analysis, seeking to mitigate queue latency and provide
