How to make robots safe for humans is intensely debated, within academia as well as in industry, media and on the political arena. Hardly any discussion of the subject fails to mention Isaac Asimov’s three laws of Robotics. We find it curious that a set of fictional laws can have such a strong impact on discussions about a real-world problem and we think this needs to be looked into.The probably mHow to make robots safe for humans is intensely debated, within academia as well as in industry, media and on the political arena. Hardly any discussion of the subject fails to mention Isaac Asimov’s three laws of Robotics. Asimov’s laws and the Trolley Problem are usually discussed separately but there is a connection in that the Trolley Problem poses a seemingly unsolvable problem for Asimov’s F

Purpose: Systemic amyloidosis represents a yet poorly characterized complex and multifaceted rare multisystem disease with high mortality. Clinical presentation, clinical course, and treatment vary within and across subtypes. Established biomarkers are predominantly non-specific. Diagnosis and management of these patients require specifically tailored interdisciplinary structures. Well-characteriz

In a future fossil-free circular economy, the petroleum-based plastics industry must be converted to non-fossil feedstock. A known alternative is bio-based plastics, but a relatively unexplored option is deriving the key plastic building blocks, hydrogen and carbon, from electricity through electrolytic processes combined with carbon capture and utilization technology. In this paper the future dem

According to the Swedish environmental laws preschools must set- up preventive work to avoid environmental and health problems an

Artland är en reflektion kring relationen mellan människan och andra arter, samt en vision om hur stadslandskapet kan bli artrikare. Mängden vilda djur minskar drastiskt i världen, det är fler och fler arter som väljer staden som alternativt habitat och det finns ett behov av närnatur och sammanhängande gröna rum i den urbana kontexten. Detta ledde för mig fram till frågorna: Hur kan arkitekturArtland is a personal reflection on the relationship between the human being and other species, and a vision for how cities can be richer in species. The amount of wild animals decrease drastically all over the world, more and more species move into the city, there is a need for nature and green infrastructure in the urban setting for many species. This made me ask the questions: How can archite

Information om p-pillers påverkan på miljön under preventivmedelsrådgivning. Under senare år har det visat sig att de hormoner som finns i våra preventivmedel läcker ut i naturen via avloppsverken och påverkar livet i vattendragen. Det är många kvinnor som vill ha information om denna miljöpåverkan vid preventivmedelsrådgivning men det är väldigt sällan det tas upp under rådgivning visar den senSince findings of intersex roach in the 1990s it has been clear that hormonal contraceptives has an impact on the aquatic environment via leakage from the sewage treatment plants.

This ‘Automatic Test System (ATS) for Network Servers’ Master Thesis project was carried out from September 2000 till March 2001 at Axis Communication AB, Lund. The project was to build a common test system platform for all future tests of Axis network servers’ products. Thus, overcoming the current practice of costly dedicated test system development for individual products. The project is a gra

Den här uppsatsen är inspirerad av en omtalad dom från Svea Hovrätt som meddelades i februari 2019. Svea Hovrätt beslutade att tilldela en pappa ensam vårdnad om sina barn, trots att han ett par år tidigare dömdes till fängelse för att ha misshandlat dem. Anledningen till vårdnadsöverflyttningen var att mamman gjort sig skyldig till umgängessabotage. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda umgängessabotaThis paper is inspired by the well-known and disputed judgment from Svea Court of Appeal passed in February of 2019.

Fabriksrevision används som ett verktyg för att kontrollera att leverantörer och underleverantörer uppfyller kraven i kontraktsvillkor och det är ett steg i uppföljningsprocessen. I decennier har det rapporterats om arbetsrättsliga- och människorättsliga kränkningar i globala leveranskedjor där fabriksrevision används som en mekanism för att säkerställa goda arbetsvillkor. Dock kritiseras fabriksrSocial audits are used as a tool for performing reviews on suppliers’ and sub-suppliers’ compliance towards contractual obligations and is a step in the review process. There have been reports of violation of labor- and human rights laws in the global supply chains where social audits are put in place to secure good working conditions. Business segments have been criticized to have failed on their

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

Att man blir trött och hängig av värme känner nog de flesta till, men de flesta av oss klarar det tack vare skugga, solskydd och vätska. Men under en intensiv och långvarig värmebölja kan det bli riktigt allvarligt om du är äldre och samtidigt har en i övrigt vacklande hälsa. Under senare år och inte minst under den senaste värmeböljan sommaren 2018 insåg många verksamhetsutövare för vård-/äldreboIn recent years, heat waves have begun to be perceived as one of the biggest problems due to climate change. The Public Health Agency, which is the national supervisory guidance regarding health effects, has therefore updated its guidelines to ensure that regions and municipalities have sufficient information to carry out inspections in accordance with the Environmental Code. This study focuses
