With the climate change and urbanization process, the frequency of the urban flooding’s occurrence has increased in the recent years. It brings great economic losses to the cities, especially to the basements of individual properties. Low Impact Development (LID), which currently advocated by more city planners for managing stormwater, is considered as a more sustainable way to mitigate urban floo
The focus of this work has been to implement a generic netlist reduction engine to speed up circuit simulations. The netlist reduction techniques are further optimized for Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM), wherein we exploit the repetitive pattern of the circuit. There are many driving factors for developing a netlist reduction engine for SRAM simulations. In today's System on Chip (SoC), S
In the midst of a global shift in world politics induced by the rise of emerging powers, the outdated and unequal international financial institutions (IFIs) that were set up after World War II are increasingly being challenged and scrutinized. International actors can use IFIs in numerous ways to enhance their position in the world system. For instance, they can be used as a vehicle to launder st
There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search
Allting är uppbyggt av atomer, inte bara träd, djur eller bläcket i dessa bokstäver, utan även astronomiska objekt så som stjärnor och planeter. Stjärnor är i princip extremt varma och kompakta moln av atomer, som skickar ut ljus i alla riktningar. Astronomer är intresserade av vilken sammansättning av atomer som bygger upp stjärnor eftersom detta hjälper dem att förstå hur stjärnor och galaxer biStellar abundances are important for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies and provide us with constraints on stellar evolution and supernova nucleosynthesis. To determine stellar abundances accurately, atomic data is crucial. This data is incomplete for many elements, especially in the infrared region. In particular, hyperfine structure (hfs) data in the near-infrared region is lacking
Highly glazed spaces are continuously increasing in popularity due to architectural attractiveness. However, increased use of glass often jeopardizes thermal comfort in several ways and problem of overheating is one of them. A way to face this problem is to appropriately use solar control mechanisms. However, a proper selection of solar control mechanisms from an early design stage is a complex ta
Vid marktekniska undersökningar i finkorniga jordar är det av stor vikt att korrekt kunna bestämma den odränerade skjuvhållfastheten. Detta görs idag vanligtvis ute i fält med en uppsjö av sonderingsmetoder som ger olika mått på hur fast jorden är. För homogena leror och sand finns det en stadig empirisk grund för hur dessa sonderingsparametrar räknas om till odränerad skjuvhållfasthet, men hur seThe undrained shear strength is a key parameter in the design process of geotechnical structures. One of the most frequently used methods to investigate this parameter is the cone penetration test (CPT). The CPT does not measure the undrained shear strength directly, but instead the resistance that a conic probe encounters as it is pushed into the ground. A calibration factor, the cone factor (Nkt
Ever since the dawn of internet, a new wave of fast-growing software companies has emerged. The M&A scholars have struggled to find appropriate valuation mechanisms for unprofitable companies with ultra-high revenue growth. To overcome the uncertain future, a contractual provision called earnout is often used. An earnout is a contractual provision in a M&A-deal that states the seller of th
Skogsbränder - en biologisk gåva eller ett ekonomiskt nederlag? I samband med ett allt varmare klimat, inte minst på de nordliga delarna av jordklotet, ökar även antalet stora skogsbränder i våra svenska skogar. Detta är förödande, inte minst för de skogstokiga svenska folket, utan också för de många skogsägarna och den svenska ekonomin i helhet. På många sätt kan däremot skogsbränderna också sesWith an increasing global temperature, at rates twice as fast as the global average in the northern boreal forests, an increasing wildfire frequency is to be expected. Previous studies have shown that forest areas in Eurasia with high risk of wildfires today are expected to more than double in size in the following 30 years. This will have a great impact on the fire regime, biodiversity, economic
I samband med framarbetandet av 36 § avtalslagen uttrycktes olika uppfattningar vad beträffar hur domstolarnas avgöranden bäst bör utformas för att främja vägledning och förutsägbarhet i en annars obestämd generalklausul. Principiellt med möjlighet att stämpla villkor som oskäliga i sig framfördes i lagmotiven. Kausistiskt, baserat på omständigheterna i det enskilda fallet, menade flertalet remissIn connection with the preparation of section 36 of the Swedish Contracts Act, different views were expressed as to how the courts' decisions should best be formulated in order to promote guidance and hence predictability in an otherwise indefinite general clause. Principally designed with the possibility of stamping contract terms as unreasonable in itself, it was argued in the law motives. B
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. This lack of integration increases the efforts needed to evaluate the desig
Under det senaste decenniet har rättsstatens ställning som ett värde av grundläggande vikt för EU-rätten ifrågasatts genom den politiska utvecklingen i vissa medlemsstater. Särskilt i Polen och Ungern går det att se hur centraladelar av statsmakten har nedmonterats. År 2021 införde EU en villkorlighetsmekanism, som ger EU:s institutioner befogenhet att hålla inne budgetåtaganden till medlemsländer
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide an overview and understanding of what innovation strategies to thrive in a VUCA world are presented by research published from 2015-2024. As the characteristics and consequences of the VUCA world become increasingly evident and in today’s corporate environment, utilizing innovation strategies are one forwarded way in order for corporations to mainta
The aim of this research is to study three particle correlations in pseudo-rapidity for the $\Lambda^0$,$\Xi^0$, and $\Omega^-$ hyperons with a focus on their baryon and strangeness quantum numbers. The two primary questions asked are, into which particles are these quantum numbers typically conserved, and what are their correlations in momentum space. The research investigates these problems by e
Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) communicate with one another using an intricate language made up of sequences of clicks. Recent studies have begun to dig deeper into the structure and content of these vocalisations in an effort to detect and extract significant patterns and features. Whether or not the results of such research will eventually allow us to translate sperm whale speech into som
Barn har ett särskilt skyddsvärde och när de utsätts för brottsliga gärningar har de, precis som vuxna, ett behov av upprättelse men också en rätt att få uppleva att rättvisa skipas för att få ett avslut på brottsupplevelsen. I Sverige tillmäts den rättsliga hanteringen av unga brottsoffer stor betydelse för utgången i målet och det ställs således höga krav på att barnets särskilda behov tas i bea
24 kap. 4 § brottsbalken stadgar att handlingar eller underlåtenheter som normalt utgör brott är tillåtna om de begåtts i nöd och inte är oförsvarliga. Nöd är en objektiv ansvarsfrihetsgrund som är tillämplig när fara hotar liv, hälsa, egendom eller allmänna intressen. I uppsatsen utreds denna s.k. nödrätt ur ett rättsdogmatiskt och rättsutvecklande perspektiv. Syftena är att belysa nödrätten, somChapter 24 section 4 of the Swedish Penalty Code (brottsbalken) states that criminal actions or omissions which are committed out of necessity, do not constitute a crime as long as they are not indefensible. Necessity is an objective general ground for exemption from criminal responsibility, and is applicable when a danger threatens life, health, property or public legal interests. This paper look
Sustainability reporting is the primary way corporate sustainability data is disseminated to stakeholders and the wider public. While sustainability reporting is growing, certain industries still lag, such as shipping. Given the crucial role sustainability reporting can play in driving sustainable business practices, promoting improved reporting in the shipping industry is a valuable goal. This t
BIM, byggnadsinformationsmodellering, är ett arbetssätt som blir allt vanligare. Det innebär att olika objekt bygger upp en övergripande 3D-modell där man kan finna mängder av information om dessa objekt. Ett objekt kan vara allt ifrån en bropelare till en elstolpe. Syftet med denna rapport är att utifrån Trafikverkets roll som beställare undersöka vilka för- och nackdelar det skulle innebära med BIM, Building Information Modeling, is an increasingly common way of working. This means that different objects build up an overall 3D-model where you can find lots of information about these objects. An object can be anything from a bridge pillar to an electric pole. The purpose of this report is to, based on the Swedish Transport Administrations’ as a client, investigate the advantages and disad
Den 1 juli 2022 trädde en ändring av lagen (1988:254) om förbud beträffande knivar och andra farliga föremål, även kallad knivlagen, i kraft. Denna innebar bl.a. att kvalifikationsgrunder infördes för bedömningen av om ett brott ska rubriceras som grovt, och att straffskalan för grovt brott skärptes till fängelse i lägst sex månader och högst två år. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analyseraOn 1 July 2022, the Swedish Act (1988:254) on the Prohibition of Knives and Other Dangerous Objects (the Swedish Knife Act), which criminalizes possession of knives and other dangerous objects in public places, was amended. Through the amendment, four criteria were introduced to the statutory text, which are to be given particular consideration when assessing whether a violation of the law is to b
