In recent decades, the development of technology that aids in documenting, analysing and communicating information regarding archaeological sites has affected the way that historical information is transmitted and perceived by the community. Digital technologies have affected archaeology at all levels; for example, novel investigation methods have highlighted new and unknown aspects of archaeologi

Today document archives are geographically distributed but often not replicated. This can potentially result in a low quality of service in terms of reduced availability and long user-perceived access times. Instead of indiscriminate replication we study the effectiveness of caching techniques such as prefetching and selective preloading. Our technique analyzes whether user access behavior is pred

This thesis will investigate the possibility to have SU(2) gauge fields as the source to the Cosmic Inflation and/or to the Dark Energy. It will be explained that, under certain conditions, the Universe can be filled with vector fields without violating its isotropy. Those conditions are naturally fulfilled within the SU(2) gauge theory. Both Einstein's equations and the equations of motion

Sweden has no legislated regulation for lobbying, but there is a huge on going discussion about the benefits and disadvantages with lobbying related to democratic values. This essay is studying parliamentary bills from 2000-2015, which has been raised in the question and the essay is embracing a democratic view where Robert Dahl’s theory about democracy is used as a foundation to the ideal types o

Slavery - in popular imagination, the word usually conjures up images of the transatlantic slave trade and slavery in the United States. A common belief is that slavery has been abolished and in a legal sense this is correct. However, the practical reality is little changed, i.e. the practice of slavery continues. Much remains to be done in order to abolish slavery, but one problem that I see as a

The object of this study is the female user of amphetamines and the characteristica which she is often described by. Many of these descriptions regard the female amphetamine user's sexuality which also have come to form the assumption that these women make a living from having sexual relations with men in exchange of drugs. In order to be able to draw any kind of conclusions regarding this, w

The purpose of the study is to investigate how the legal parenthood is regulated in the law now in force. I focus on the establishing of paternity and motherhood as well as on how parenthood is regulated in the situation of an artificial insemination. The focus of my investigation is on the best interest of the child in question. I have also put the subject of parenthood in a historical context to

During the past two decades several studies pointed out the contradiction between abundance of natural resources and its negative impact on economic growth and development. This paradox has been widely observed and documented throughout the development literature. In this context, China’s increasing demand for natural resources and consequent growing trade and influence in developing countries has

Concrete has been frequently used as a buildning material in modern time and is today one of the most applied buildningmaterials. Since the demand of sustainability is getting bigger, more focus is put on the large carbon dioxide emissions that happens due to the cementmanufacturing. One way to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions is to replace a part of the Portlandcement with residues from other

During the last few years, the interest for electric vehicles has increased enormously, there are even talk of prohibiting fossil fuels in the coming years. There is a risk that the charging of these electric vehicles can strain the electric grid. The simulations of the grid with added power demand from the electric vehicles concludes that there will not be a problem on the low- and medium voltage

På senare tid har ett flertal Europeiska länder infört möjligheten för vittnen att vittna anonymt. Röster höjs för att även Sverige ska införa anonyma vittnen. Dock finns starka intressen som menar att anonyma vittnen är oförenligt med rätten till en rättvis rättegång. Den här uppsatsen utreder systemet kring anonyma vittnen, motiveringen bakom varför Sverige historiskt har varit emot anonyma vittIn later years, a number of European contries have introduced the possibility for witnesses to appear in court as anonymous witnesses. Voices are now being raised in favour of Sweden doing the same. However, strong interests argue that anonymous witnesses are incompatible with the right to a fair trail. This thesis will investigate the system around anonymous witnesses, the motivation behind Swede

The purpose of the study was to investigate how social workers in the substance abuse and addiction services perceive collaboration with the psychiatric unit, and if the size of the municipality has a role in the extent to which collaboration takes place. A quantitative survey has been conducted with 40 respondents operating in a larger city and 15 respondents operating in a smaller city. The stud

The EU has for a long time been a credible member in the WTO, wherein trade partners need to comply with the EU´s regulations in order to import goods to the Single market. However, trade issues may arise from technical regulations, which could constitute non-tariff trade barriers. In the WTOs Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade, members raise such issues, in order to facilitate trade. Since

I takt med att världens befolkning ökar och allt fler väljer att bosätta sig inne i staden ökar behovet av att hitta smarta och hållbara sätt att förtäta. En stad har sina begränsningar och därför har det genomgående i projektet varit viktigt att undersöka hur vi kan töja på stadens gränser och tillföra nya värden utan att tumma på befintliga kvaliteter. Att förtäta en stad är en möjlighet att höjAs the world population increases and more people choose to settle in the city the need to find smart and sustainable solutions to densify increases. A city has limitations and therefore it has been important to look at how we can stretch the city´s borders and adding new values without compromising the existing qualities. To densify a city is an opportunity to improve existing urban spaces and in
