The risk of pluvial flooding is going to increase as climate change causes an increase in intense precipitation along with urbanisation leading to an increase in impermeable surfaces. In the last decade, cities such as Malmö and Copenhagen have already experienced severe pluvial flooding that has caused extensive damage. Adapting to climate change by creating flood resilient urban areas is therefo

Contract law has traditionally been regulated by national law which has raised certain problems in cross-border transactions caused by the divergences in domestic contract law among the Member States. Therefore, the diversity of national law has been increasing the challenges in practice for entrepreneurs which is causing a lack of legal certainty, uniformity and creates serious obstacles that hin

Surrogatskap är en aktuell och omdebatterad fråga. Varken altruistiska eller kommersiella surrogatskap är tillåtna i Sverige. Surrogatskap är en relativt ny företeelse och diskuterades för första gången på 1980-talet i riksdagen. Till en början var de flesta partier restriktivt inställda och talade om surrogatskap som en främmande och osedlig företeelse. Med åren öppnades det dock upp för en diskuSurrogacy is a current and often debated issue. Neither altruistic nor commercial surrogacy is allowed in Sweden. When surrogacy was first discussed in the 1980s most parties were restrictive and spoke of surrogacy as a foreign and immoral phenomenon. Over the years, however, more parties have opened up for discussing the matter. In SOU 2016: 11, the possibility of surrogacy in Sweden was investi

Digitaliseringen har revolutionerat våra samhällen. Hur vi kommunicerar och interagerar med varandra och hur vi handlar produkter och tjänster har över de senaste åren varit föremål för drastiska förändringar. Bakom dessa förändringar står ett fåtal digitala jättar. Trots att förändringarna har ökat konsumentvälfärden och i regel varit positiva, har farhågor lyfts. Detta har inte minst uppmärksammDigitalization has revolutionized our societies. How we communicate and interact with one another and how we purchase goods and services has changed drastically. A select few technological giants are the driving force behind these changes. Despite the increase in consumer welfare and the overall heightened standard of living, concerns have been raised, especially within the discourse of competitio

Uppsatsen behandlar det adopterade barnets ställning inom adoptionsinstitutet genom dess förändring över tid. Adoptionsinstitutet har förändrats i takt med samhällsutvecklingen och lagstiftaren har tidvis försökt lösa samhällsproblem med hjälp av lagstiftningen. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur barnets ställning har förändrats tillsammans med adoptionslagstiftningen. Adoption som ett institThis thesis examines an adopted child’s status within the adoption institute through time. The adoption institute has changed in line with the development of society and the legislator have occasionally tried to solve problems occurring in the society with the help of legislation. The child’s status is dependent on society’s perception of children and the reign values in the general public. The

During the 17th and early 18th century Antonio Stradivari built around 900 violins, that still today are considered some of the best instruments ever created. The theories of how it was possible for a luthier active 300 years ago to create instruments of this quality are many, including unique wood properties and secret building techniques. The sound of a violin is produced by vibrations from the

Denna uppsats syftar till att jämföra och analysera äktenskaps- och sambolagstiftningen i svensk och dansk rätt. Uppsatsen främsta fokus är att undersöka om och i så fall hur de arvsrättsliga bestämmelserna för sambor i svensk rätt bör utvecklas för att vara i takt med sin tid, samt om detta kan göras i ljuset av den danska rätten. Materialet består huvudsakligen av lagar och förarbeten, samt sekuThis thesis aims to compare and analyse the legal systems regarding marriage and cohabitation in Swedish and Danish law. The primary focus of the thesis is to examine whether, and if so how, the inheritance provisions for cohabitants in Swedish law should be developed to keep pace with modern times, and whether this can be achieved in view of Danish law. The material primarily consists of statutes

Uppsatsen syftar till att förtydliga det ansvar som åligger stater till följd av en enskild stats allvarliga brott mot en folkrättsligt tvingande norm. Genom att använda ett rådgivande yttrande från juli 2024, i vilket Internationella domsto-len konstaterade Israels ockupation av de palestinska territorierna som olaglig, undersöks statsansvaret. Avgörandet aktualiserar tre skyldigheter för tredje The essay aims to clarify the responsibility of States arising from a serious breach of a peremptory norm by another State. It does so by using the adviso-ry opinion of July 2024, in which the International Court of Justice found Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories unlawful. The Courts ruling raised three obligations for third States: the obligation not to recognize the situation as

Metalliciteten hos en stjärna är den del av materien som inte består av helium eller väte. Detta innebär att när en astronom talar om metallicitet, inkluderar hon även icke-metalliska grundämne, såsom kol, syre eller något av de tyngre grundämnena. Genom att studera metalliciteten hos en stjärna kan vi lära oss en del om dem, till exempel dess ålder och ursprunget för var våra grundämnen kommer ifAn investigation has been done in order increase the understanding of the origin and chemical evolution of copper in the Milky Way stellar disks. This is interesting to know as it plays a part of the Galaxy puzzle, so we become more able to map how and why galaxies look like they do. The atmosphere of a star keeps information about how elemental abundant the Universe was at the time and place of

Throughout the years, Mérida has been subject of an outstanding growth, economically, socially and spatially. Starting from being a major Mayan civilization city, to a colonial Spanish settlement that grew into being the capital of the peninsula, it has always gone through changes and innovations according to the necessities of its inhabitants. By being the most secure and safe city in Mexico to

Forecasting wind has always been an interesting subject, and as large parts of the world are relying more on wind for power production it is becoming even more important to have reliable forecasts. Probabilistic forecasts, where distributions are predicted in contrast to deterministic forecasts, are impor- tant for informed decision making. We apply two methods based on conformal prediction for pr

Host societies’ attitudes towards immigrants in Europe has continuously been getting attention in recent decades of increased levels of globalization, as attitudes determine the levels of immigrants’ integration. This, in turn, has huge influence on social cohesion so important for the functioning of peaceful and just societies. While Sweden has proved itself as an exception both in terms of open

DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is

This thesis presents the work I did for the inclusive search for anomalous production of same charge lepton-pairs, originating from the collision point, at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the 2012 data. I optimized the selection criteria for isolated electrons and muons, calculated the so-called "fake factors" and "fake factor" systematic uncertainties

Objective Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare disease that can result in severe bleeding in a fetus or newborn, including intracranial hemorrhage. Maternal-fetal human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a incompatibility is a prerequisite to maternal HPA-1a alloimmunization, which may result in FNAIT. The risk of HPA-1a alloimmunization is approximately 25-times higher in HPA-1

Purpose: Today’s chemical society use and emit an enormous number of different, potentially ecotoxic, chemicals to the environment. The vast majority of substances do not have characterisation factors describing their ecotoxicity potential. A first stage, high throughput, screening tool is needed for prioritisation of which substances need further measures. Methods: USEtox characterisation factors

One way of reducing environmental pollution is to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels by replacing them with solar radiation (Rs), which is one of the main sources of clean and renewable energy. In this study, daily Rs values at seven meteorological stations in Iran (Ahvaz, Isfahan, Kermanshah, Mashhad, Bandar Abbas, Kerman and Tabriz) over 2010-2019 were estimated using empirical models, suppor

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage causes significant lifelong mortality and morbidity, especially in preterm born infants. Progress in finding an effective therapy is stymied by a lack of preterm animal models with long-term follow-up. This study addresses this unmet need, using an established model of preterm rabbit IVH and analyzing outcomes out to 1 month of age. Methods: Rabbit pups were
