The influence of aerosol long range transport in southern Sweden was investigated from a data base consisting of simultaneous cascade impactor measurements at three sampling stations, two coastal and one inland rural location. The study focused on S and heavy metals determined by particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis. The influence of local emissions was minimized by eliminating samples

I ett Europa där gränskontroller intensifieras och deportationer ökar ställer denna avhandling frågor om möjligheter till motstånd och aktivism genom teater. Den tar sin utgångspunkt i en deltagande etnografisk undersökning av No Border Musical. No Border Musical skapades och sattes upp i Malmö under 2011–2013. Initiativet togs av personer kopplade till den lokala flyktingrättsrörelsen. Ungefär häIn a context of deportability and bordering practices, this thesis asks questions regarding possibilities and limitations of resistance through community theatre. It sets out from a participatory ethnographic exploration of the working process and performance of the No Border Musical. The No Border Musical was created in 2011–2013 in the city of Malmö in southern Sweden. It was initiated by people

Minskade friktionsförluster har blivit föremål för omfattande forskning och utveckling inom bilindustrin. Som ett led i detta har förspänning av pinjonglager i relation till driftstempertur studerats i ett examensarbete på uppdrag av BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems. Resultatet är anmärkningsvärt och motiverar fortsatt konstruktionsarbete. Alla känner nog till att bilen är en riktig miljöbov men fThis report is the written result of a Master Thesis conducted at the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The project has been carried out in collaboration with BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems (TTS) AB in Landskrona. The car industry is growing vastly and thereby the associated levels of CO2 emissions. Extensive and sharpened regulations are continuously b

Patentet utgör en immateriell rättighet som innebär en ensamrätt för innehavaren att nyttja innovationen under en viss tidsperiod. Den som kränker denna ensamrätt gör sig skyldig till patentintrång. En stor del av patenträtten, och kanske det viktigaste ur patenthavarens perspektiv, är det skydd som patentet ställer upp för ensamrätten. Härtill hör patentlagens civil­ och straffrättsliga sanktionsA patent is an intellectual property conferring the owner a sole right to use the invention for a period of time, in which violation results in an infringement. A vital part of patent law, and perhaps the most important one from the perspective of the patentee, is the protection of the sole right. This includes the civil and penal infringement sanctions. In order for a protection to work efficient

Asylärendena kännetecknas av vissa unika särdrag. Till dessa kan räknas den enskildes ofta prekära situation, och att beslutsfattaren ska ta ställning till huruvida den sökande befinner sig i en situation i vilken denne är berättigad internationellt skydd undan förföljelser eller inte. Även maktförhållandet parterna emellan stärker behovet av försiktighet från beslutsfattarens sida. För att hanterThe asylum process is characterised by certain unique features. Amongst these are the precarious situation of the applicant, and the fact that the decision maker is to decide whether or not the applicant is in a situation that entitles him or her to international protection. The balance of power between the two parties is also a key feature that strengthens the need of caution by the decision make

So far, the Standard Model (SM) has been very successful in describing non-gravitational interactions of fundamental particles. However, many of its theoretical and experimental shortcomings remain unresolved. In collider searches, Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) signatures are expected to manifest themselves as localised excesses of events in the invariant mass lineshape of their decay products.

Problem – Despite supply chain flexibility is recognized as a competitive advantage in today’s business, and supply chain information system is one of the most critical tool to facilitate flexibility. There is no consensus or comprehensive description on how information system tailor with and work on supply chain flexibility to achieve better dynamic capability. Most of literatures mainly focus on

I takt med en utveckling mot en mer komplicerad brottslighet har fler brott blivit svårare att utreda och lagföra. Det föreligger därmed ett behov av att öka effektiviteten i brottmålsprocessen. I detta sammanhang har åtalsuppgörelser blivit ett alltmer omdiskuterat ämne. Uppsatsen utreder huruvida åtalsuppgörelser bör införas i svensk rätt i syfte att effektivisera brottmålsprocessen. Sverige harDue to a trend towards a more complicated criminality, several crimes have become more difficult to investigate and prosecute. There is therefore a need to increase the efficiency of the criminal proceedings. Plea bargaining has become an increasingly discussed subject in this context. The aim of the thesis is therefore to investigate whether plea bargaining should be introduced in Swedish law in

Since the rise of the tourism industry in Barbados in the 1960s a vast emphasis has been placed on expanding high dollar luxury tourism that is targeted towards specific social and economic classes in order to maintain foreign exchange. The majority of this high dollar tourism development has been predominately concentrated on the diminishing western coastlines of Barbados. Moreover, the focus on

The aim of this study was to determine in what manner a luxury fashion heritage brand can rebrand from the perspective of brand public members. In line with the relativist and social constructivist stance taken in this study, a netnography of posts and belonging comments on the Instagram accounts of this study’s two example companies, Burberry and Gucci, was conducted. A thematic analysis was appl

In August of 2017, Chile lifted its total ban on abortion that had been in effect since 1989. The new abortion laws allow women to access safe and legal abortion in cases of incest, fatal fetal impairment or if pregnancy is threatening the life of the mother. This research will put focus on the process that led to the amendment of the Chilean abortion laws and will primarily strive to enhance the

Access to financing for women entrepreneurs plays a fundamental role in the creation and development of their startups. Our study found that women founders, specifically within tech startups, face barriers and challenges when searching for and navigating different types of financing options. There is a gap in the literature regarding gender disparities in entrepreneurial finance and limitations of

The escalating concerns surrounding climate change have intensified the focus on the renewable energy market, with initiatives aimed at energy security, CO2 emissions reduction, and sustainability.

However, challenges persist, including the environmental impact of construction

Inom samhällsplanering har den tekniska utvecklingen medfört att digitala modeller kan användas inom planering av städer och samhällen. Mycket arbete och forskning har fokuserat på digitalisering av stadsmodeller, för att skapa så kallade digitala tvillingar. Digitala tvillingar är digitala kopior som kan användas för att planera och simulera åtgärder i till exempel en stad eller stadsdel. Något sThe digitalisation of processes in societal planning has increased the need for a more standardised approach to the visualisation of geographic information. In recent years a lot of progress has been made with regards to digital models of cities and societies. However, this does not apply to underground data and models to the same extent. The overall objective of this report is to identify areas o

In topology optimization, iterative, gradient-based methods are used to find the material distribution of structures which maximizes some objective function, typically the structures' stiffness, or in some cases the fundamental frequency. Finite element analysis is used to compute the structural response in each iteration, leading to large systems of equations. Several hundred iterations may b

Lojalitetsplikten i kommersiella avtalsförhållanden kan definieras som skyl-digheten för parterna i relationen att tillvarata motpartens intressen utöver sina egna. Lojalitetsplikten kan härledas långt tillbaka i historien men det är först under 1900-talets andra hälft som saker började hända och denna utveckling tog rejäl fart under de senaste ca 20 åren. Lojal samverkan mellan parterna står iblaThe principle of loyalty in commercial relations can be defined as an obliga-tion for the parties to safeguard the other party’s interests in addition to their own. The principle of loyalty can be derived far back in history, but it was only during the second half of the 20th century that things started to happen, and this progress took off in the last 20 or so years. Loyal collaboration be-tween

In the later Middle Ages there was a vivid activity of preaching at the Abbey of Vadstena. Apart from the ordinary Sunday preaching at High Mass, or in connection to it, there were a number of feasts due to the saints. At heart of the medieval pastoral theology was The Way of Salvation and the conundrum was how to make people understand how to correct their living in order to get into Heaven as qu
