Cloud microphysics is substantially affected by aerosol loading and the resulting changes in the reflective properties of the clouds can significantly affect the global radiation budget. A study of how marine low-level clouds over Barents Sea and the northern parts of the Norwegian Sea are affected by air mass origin has been performed by combining ground-based aerosol measurements with satellite
In initiating the development of a large-scale golf resort in Aberdeenshire, Trump International Golf Links Scotland made a relatively unknown site central to Scottish planning debates. A stretch of land along the North Sea coast north of Aberdeen became linked to new possible futures. Part of the site developed consisted of moving sand dunes given environmental protection as a Site of Special Sci
This article explores the core propositions articulated by several public actors in the so-called Bandera debate, i.e., discussions about the usable past and legacy of the wartime Ukrainian nationalist insurgency and its central symbolic figure, Stepan Bandera. In Western Ukraine, popular historical imagery as well as intellectual polemics about “Ukrainization” of World War II challenged both the
To evaluate vibrotactile perception at different frequencies in fingers and in foot in healthy girls and boys.
In order to compare the two species’ flight performance over the exposed and windy Falsterbo Peninsula, where thermal conditions seldomly are very favorable, we used tracking radar to study flight parameters of sparrowhawks Accipiter nisus and common buzzards Buteo buteo during autumn migration. The results showed a clear difference between sparrowhawks and common buzzards in their flight altitude
Resonant optical pumping across the band gap was used as artificial doping in InAs/In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs quantum dots-in-a-well infrared photodetectors. Through efficient filling of the quantum dot energy levels by simultaneous optical pumping into the ground states and the excited states of the quantum dots, the response was increased by a factor of 10. Low temperature photocurrent peaks observed a
A primary functionality of context aware applications is the retrieval of different types of context data from various context sources and adapting their behavior accordingly. In order to facilitate context aware application development, a context aware middleware must provide an effective context data management and lookup strategy. The use of a traditional index for indexing dynamic context data
The feasibility of measuring g-factors using the TDPAD method applied to high-energy, heavy fragmentation products is explored. The 2623 keV I-pi = 12(+) isomer in Pb-192 with tau = 1.57 mu s has been produced using the fragmentation of a 1 A GeV U-238 beam. The results presented demonstrate for the first time that such heavy nuclei produced in a fragmentation reaction with a relativistic beam are
Holma and Kroksbäck are two socially vulnerable, enclosed neighbourhoods in Malmö, a city in the south of Sweden. There is a development plan to integrate and strengthen these areas. The aim of this thesis was to analyse matters of spatial segregation in an urban development project. How these matters were addressed and what factors might have an impact on them are questions this paper try to answ
Art. 36 TFEU is an exception clause which provides that quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions falling under Art. 34 and 35 TFEU may be justified under certain circumstances. If a national measure can be considered liable to hindering the trade between Member States, the national measure can be justified by one of the derogations listed in Art.
Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within
Thessaloniki is a city with a very rich and multicultural history. Among the different groups of people living in the city for centuries, the largest one was the group of the Sephardi Jews. Unfortunately, in modern Thessaloniki the rich Jewish past is not that evident. Aim of this thesis is to search for imprints and memories of the Jewish past in today's city and tries to unfold the reasons w
Bolivia has experienced a drastic decline in inequality and poverty since 2000. It coincided with the administrative period of Evo Morales between 2006 and 2019. Hence, it is debated whether poverty reduction was mainly driven by economic growth alongside the commodity boom in the 2000s or by policy implementations during Morales’s presidency. This study addresses the research question: “How and w
Fientliga cyberoperationer ökar och staters kritiska nationella infrastrukturer står inför hotet att bli måltavlor eftersom de i större utsträckning är beroende av datanätverk. Cybersfären benämns ständigt som den ’vilda västern’ vilket antyder att det tillämpade internationella rättsliga ramverket är otillräckligt. Den internationella rätten som föreskriver jus ad bellum och dess tillämplighet påHostile cyber operations are on the rise and states’ critical national infrastructures are facing the threat of being targeted as they become more dependent on computer networks. Cyberspace is persistently referred to as the ‘wild West’ implicating that the applied international legal framework is insufficient. The international law stipulating jus ad bellum and its applicability to cyber operatio
In recent years, cross-border regions have been challenged by multiple levels governance creating barriers rather than solutions to support cross-border spaces. This study aims at inquiring how the role of cross-border regions is changing in relation to their governance capacity. Governance capacity relates to actions, practices and visions of such regions. Through investigating a case study in th
Denna reflekterande del av min konstnärliga kandidatexamen började med en nyfikenhet av mina rörelser vid pianot. Jag ville reflektera över hur jag själv uppfattar mina egna rörelser, och varför jag rör mig hur jag gör, och även vilket syfte dessa rörelser har utöver de tekniska krav som musiken ställer på min kropp. Jag valde tre olika videos av framträdande, en live-konsert, en live-streamad konThis reflective part of my Bachelor’s degree started with an increased curiosity into how I move my body whilst at the piano. I wanted to reflect on how I perceive my own movements, on why I move like I do, and what purpose these movements may have beyond the way I need to move to handle any technical difficulties. I chose three different videos of performances, one live concert, one live streamed
Strict deportation policies have emerged as an increasingly popular way for more developed countries to tackle the issue of irregular migration. Estimations tell us that more that 3 million Afghan refugees will be deported in 2017 and it is argued that such massive returns to Afghanistan, despite the ongoing and escalated conflict, will risk contributing to severe human right violations as well as
