Finite resources and increasing rate of consumption have made efficiency a key component in every energy consuming sector. The building industry, as a major contributor, has been the target of various initiatives and regulations aiming to lower its impact with varying degrees of success. Measurement of this impact has not always been easy, especially for buildings not yet built. Therefore, simulat
I vår tids globaliserade värld med tilltagande turism, utlandsarbete och studier på utländska lärosäten ökar även förekomsten av transnationella kärleksrelationer. Människor träffas, blir förälskade och vill leva tillsammans. Denna kvalitativa studie handlar om kvinnor och män som har migrerat till Sverige på grund av nyetablerad kärleksrelation med en person från Sverige eller annat nordiskt land
I denna uppsats har jag utrett vilka kriterier som uppställs för att fastställa inre väpnad konflikt i svensk rätt. Jag undersöker också hur kriterierna fastställs även i EU-rätten och i den internationella humanitära folkrätten gällande inre väpnad konflikt då båda dessa områden starkt påverkar den inhemska tillämpningen av begreppet. Genom att undersöka framförallt Diakité-domen har jag konstate
Benzene-fluorobenzene complexes are used as model systems to simulate the interactions of the SBB-HCAII protein-ligand complex. Using the second-order Moller-Plesset [MP2] and the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triple excitations models recently implemented with Cholesky decompositions we evaluate accurate interaction energies for several benzene-fluorobenzene van der Waal
We report on the second case of a reed warbler x great reed warbler hybrid (Acrocephalus scirpaceus and A. arundinaceus). The bird was captured during a standardised ringing session in Belgium in autumn 1999, and fell between the parental species in all measurements. Molecular analyses of two microsatellite loci verified that the bird was a female that had a reed warbler father and a great reed wa
I fokus för denna undersökning står Bushadministrationens argumentation och retorik kring invasionen av Irak då den inleddes våren 2003. Utgångspunkten är teorier om, och en hypotes kring att det råder en kristen diskurs i den amerikanska politiken, som formar politikens uttryckssätt och framställning, bl.a. genom en tendens att dela upp världen i goda och onda, och att koppla respektive läger til
This article examines the role of welfare and social policies within broader eco-social transformations in a post-growth context by applyingthe concepts of sustainable welfare and ‘safe and just operating space’. It also provides an empirical analysis of the popularity of ecosocial policies designed to steer the economy and society towards this space: maximum and basic incomes, taxes on wealth and
Abnormally phosphorylated tau proteins are known to be a major indicator of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) with strong association with memory loss and cognitive decline. Automated generation of pixel-wise accurate neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and neuropil threads (NTs) segmentation is a challenging task, due to lack of ground truth segmentation data of these abnormal tau pathology. This problem is mo
This report looks at the involvement of two of ABN AMRO's predecessors - Hope & Co. and R. Mees & Zoonen - in slavery and the slave trade during the eighteenth and nineteenth century, both in the Atlantic world and in Asia. It finds that Hope & Co. played a pivotal role in the international slave economy of the 18th century. Not only were slavery-related operations a source of much of
The main objective of Work Package 4 was to provide quantifiable evidences of the potential role of CNH as a driver for sustainable growth. To do this, WP4 has been monitoring over the last 2.5 years the performance of the deployed Action Plans (or regeneration schemes) in the 6 initial Replicators (Rs), and the 9 Additional Replicators (ARs) included in the last phase of the project. Performance’
Legitimacy is a relational concept that refers to the perception that the actions undertaken by an actor or an institution are rightful and acceptable. In political terms, an actor enjoys legitimacy if the way it exercises its power is widely considered warranted. In the framework of a major global political process such as the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, legitim
