Scholars have increasingly emphasized the ineffectiveness of sanctions in changing the targeted state’s foreign political behavior after their will. The thesis intends to tackle this problem by examining how sanctions against Russia, in relation to Crimea, should be designed to incentivise Russia to change their behavior. The dissertation bases its research on the hypothesis that the design has to
Several studies have shown that time domain reflectometry (TDR) can be used to measure water content and solute concentration during steady-state experiments with constant soil water content. Few studies have been carried out to identify the relationship between bulk electrical conductivity (σa) and soil solution electrical conductivity (σw) to be used for transient conditions with varying water c
We obtained osmotic pressure data of lysozyme solutions, describing their physical states over a wide concentration range, using osmotic stress for pressures between 0.05 bar and about 40 bar and volume fractions between 0.01 and 0.61. The osmotic pressure vs. volume fraction data consist of a dilute, gas-phase regime, a transition regime with a high-compressibility plateau, and a concentrated reg
Bone tumors constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms of skeletal origin. Benign cartilage tumors include osteochondroma, subungual exostosis, bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), chondromas, synovial chondromatosis, chondroblastoma, and chondromyxoid fibroma. Ewing sarcomas, also known as primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET), are highly aggressive small cell round cel
One of the key implications of COVID-19 is the adoption of physical distancing provisions to minimise the risk of virus transmission. Physical distancing can have significant consequences on crowd movement both in normal conditions and during emergencies. The impact of physical distancing is discussed in this chapter by first presenting an overview of its implications on crowd dynamics and space u
Physical layer security has recently attracted considerable attention in the context of information-theoretic point of view. In this paper, we investigate relay selection schemes for security-constrained half-duplex cooperative wireless networks with multiple eavesdroppers, which have the ability to cooperate to overhear the source transmission. The proposed techniques select a trusted decode-and-

Due to electrification, new demands are imposed on gears regarding e.g., quality, noise, lubrication, and gear ratio.Therefore, a better understanding of gearset meshing and operation is needed. Experiments are valuable tools, butalso tend to be cumbersome and time consuming. Moreover, contact pressure cannot be measured satisfactorily.Thus, a simulation tool is needed. In this thesis, an LTCA sim
Efterfrågan på nyproducerade bostäder är stor i Sverige och bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande del av samhällets miljöpåverkan. För att minska sektorns miljöpåverkan läggs idag allt större fokus vid att välja byggnadsmaterial med omsorg. Företaget BoKlok bygger bostäder industriellt och vill utreda miljöpåverkan från material som används i stor utsträckning, för att kunna ta större There is a large need for housing in Sweden and the construction sector generates a significant part of society’s environmental impact. To reduce the environmental impact from the sector it is important to choose materials wisely. The company BoKlok builds housing industrially and wants to estimate the environmental impact caused by some of the major material groups. This could lead to more enviro
The authors are intending to investigate if theoretical arguments for misalignments from compensation structures go for Swedish firms. Attempting to bring research forward, the frameworks on M&A and compensation literature will be combined to investigate the interdependence between CEO compensation and M&A behaviour. An empirical research is made utilizing a multiple panel regression stud
A detailed physico-chemical characterisation of potential new cellulose sources (rice husk, hemp stalk, and coniferous needles), and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) manufactured from them, was made in this work. The length and the width of the cellulose crystallites were determined by wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), crystallinities were studied by means of WAXS and solid state cross polarisat

In women experiencing distressing climacteric symptoms during the peri- and postmenopause there is conclusive evidence from abundant randomised controlled trials that systemic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) of any type affords symptom relief, with no alternative treatment producing similar effect. Though this evidence is accumulating, the question of how to provide best clinical practice in an
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling behandlas modeller för simulering av läkemedelsfrisättning från enskilda filmdragerade pellets, samtidig frisättning från ett antal filmdragerade pellets, samt frisättning av läkemedel och/eller polymer från svällande polymertabletter. Modellerna är validerade mot experimentella data. Modellen för frisättning från filmdragerade pellets är validerad mIn this work, mathematical models have been developed describing drug release from film-coated reservoir systems as well as drug release and polymer dissolution from swelling and dissolving polymer tablets. The model derivation of both systems is based on a mechanistic approach. The model describing drug release from reservoir systems, i.e. from single, film-coated pellets, was validated against e
The emittances of the electron beams at the MAX-laboratory accelerator system have been studied. Apart from the build-up of the diagnostic tools for precise determination of the beam spatial profiles, the objectives have been: a) to verify the accelerator design emittances at low currents and to try to determine the emittances also at high currents; b) to investigate possibilities to manipulate th

This essay addresses the urgent need for transformative action in environmental governance by exploring the role and essential functionality of environmental auditing. While critical scholarship has questioned the overemphasis on reporting in both research and practice, this essay promotes the obligation on critical accountants and auditing researchers to actively debate and develop the concept of
This article analyzes the effects of self-balancing in multiactive bridge converters. Therefore, it proposes a time-domain approach to model the dynamics of multiwinding transformer-based multilevel dc/dc converter, including self-balancing. In previous research, multiwinding transformers have been modeled using average-based power transfer models. These models, while simple, have no direct intuit
Binaural hearing aids communicate with each other through a wireless link for synchronization. A propagation model is needed to estimate the ear-to-ear link loss for such binaural hearing aids. The link loss is a critical parameter in a link budget to decide the sensitivity of the transceiver. In this paper, we have presented a model for the deterministic component of the ear-to-ear link loss. The
A time-dependent mathematical model for the heat transfer in laser-induced hyperthermia has been developed. The model calculates the temperature distribution in surface-irradiated tissues. Good agreement was found between the predictions of the model and in vitro experimental results obtained for bovine liver irradiated with an expanded beam from a Nd:YAG laser. Surface evaporation of water was in
