Dagens samhälle kräver mycket energi för att fungera. Solljus är en fantastisk förnyelsebar energikälla och med solceller går det att ta till vara på denna energin och använda den i form av elektricitet. När solljus träffar en solcell absorberas dess energi i materialet, detta genererar laddningsbärare som är positiva (hål) och negativa (elektroner) som kan driva en ström. Eftersom de olika laddniSolar cells are a potent and renewable alternative to generate electricity. Through absorption of energetic photons electrons are excited generating electron-hole pairs or charge carriers and through separation of these charge carriers a current can flow through the device. In this project Molybdenum oxide (MoOx) is tested as a hole selective contact in n-i-p Indium phosphide (InP) nanowire solar

In the hectic and stressful climate of our more or less urbanized lives, it can be easy to neglect our surroundings and forget about our origins. The experiences and knowledge that is obtained from nature is a thing of absence in more and more people’s lives. Främja is a project about helping children to reconnect with nature and be present outdoors, through their personal gear. For children espe

The aim of this thesis is to explore how the agency of women who take part in surrogacy arrangements is addressed in the political discourse on surrogacy in Sweden. Surrogacy is and remains a both controversial and ethically complex issue that is intensely discussed on the public agenda in Sweden. Surrogacy arrangements are not permitted within the Swedish health system but is otherwise unregulate

The present thesis suggests a new type of theory from which to analyse metaphorical language. This new theory is motivated by shortcomings from the available theories (most notably Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Embodied Metaphor Theory) in analysing metaphors in poetry. The thesis uses a sample of metaphorical poems to highlight three key issues that the available theories have in accounting for

The use of tools is closely connected to the development of the human species, in both cognitive abilities and physiology. Tilting the equation of energy and time favorably, by the use of tools, has shaped us to who we are. Cooking and its benefits have created an edge for humans to develop and thrive but it also poses challenges. We have evolved alongside fire to a point where we depend on an ex

Penningtvätt inom försäkringsbranschen sker genom att tillgångar, som härrör från brottslig verksamhet, investeras i en försäkring vilket gör det svårt att spåra tillgångarnas ursprung. När pengarna sedan betalas ut till försäkringstagaren, eller förmånstagaren, förvandlas de illegalt förvärvade tillgångarna till vita pengar med legitim status. Penningtvätt utgör ett stort problem för EU:s finanMoney laundering in the insurance industry takes place by investing in insurance with assets from criminal activities, which makes it difficult to trace the origin of the money. Once the money is paid to policyholders or beneficiaries, the illegally acquired assets are transformed into laundered money. Money laundering is a major problem for the EU’s financial system why the regulations against

A spoon full of insulin helps blood sugar go down Glucose is the primary source of fuel our bodies extract from carbohydrates to power our cells. Once glucose is released into the blood stream, pancreas reacts by releasing insulin into the blood stream. Insulin is a hormone which allows cells to uptake glucose after a meal. However, when insulin is not produced by the pancreas, or the cells don’

Like many other terns, European Sandwich Terns (Thalasseus sandvicensis) exhibit a period of post-breeding dispersal before migrating to their wintering grounds in Africa. In order to understand the significance of Danish waters for these movements, I analysed the post-breeding phenology of Sandwich Terns at nine roosting sites and determined their overall distribution throughout Denmark by using

Plastics pollution is increasing every year in aquatic ecosystems and with it, an ever-increasing number of micro- and nano-sized plastic particles. It has been shown that these particles find their way into the food-chain after being consumed by organisms at lower trophic levels, such as the zooplankter Daphnia magna. Previous studies have shown negative effects on the reproduction, development,

Förtal av avliden har varit kriminaliserat i svensk rätt sedan BrB:s ikraftträdande år 1962. Likväl har kriminaliseringen intagit en något undanskymd ställning i den svenska rättsordningen. Detta var åtminstone fallet innan den historiska presskonferensen den 10 juni 2020, där beslutet att lägga ned förundersökning om mordet på Olof Palme meddelades. I den efterföljande offentliga debatten har kriDefamation of a deceased individual has been criminalized in Sweden since the entry into force of the Swedish Criminal Code (SFS 1962:700). However, this crime has been given a somewhat suppressed position in the Swedish legal system. At least, until the historical press conference on the 10th of June 2020, where the decision to close the preliminary investigation about the assassination of Olof P

Denna uppsats kommer att behandla den internationella sjörättsprincipen gemensamt haveri samt ställa den mot den svenska lagstiftningen om ansvarsbegränsningar och friskrivningar. Syftet är att kolla på principen ur perspektivet vad den innebär för ansvarsbegränsningar för de inblandade parterna och för att sedan se vad den svenska rätten säger om ansvarsbegränsningar och ställa de två emot varandThis essay will cover the international maritime law principle of general average and put it against the Swedish legislation on limitations of liability and disclaimers.

AI och algoritmer förutspås revolutionera stora delar av samhället. Den snabba tekniska utvecklingen har redan idag nått arbetslivet och används i allt större utsträckning av arbetsgivare för att rekrytera personal, utöva arbetsledning och fatta viktiga arbetsrelaterade beslut. I gig-ekonomin och plattformsföretagen är användningen särskilt utbredd och algoritmer används för allt från att administAI and algorithms are predicted to revolutionize large sections of society. The rapid technical development has already reached working life and is increasingly used by employers to recruit staff, exercise management and make important work-related decisions. In the gig economy and platform companies the use is particularly widespread and algorithms are used for purposes ranging from managing the

Till följd av den tekniska utvecklingen som ger positiva effekter på den ekonomiska tillväxten finns det skäl att diskutera såväl upphovsrättsinnehavares som konkurrenters intressen på den digitala marknaden. I uppsatsen utreds skärningspunkten mellan konkurrens- och upphovsrätt på en digital marknad med fokus på interoperabilitet. I 2007 års dom mot Microsoft Corp. sker en avvägning mellan konkuConsidered the technical evolution positive effects on economic growth there is reason to discuss the interests of copyright owners as well as competitors on the digital market. This essay studies the intersection of competition and copyright law on a digital market with focus on interoperability. In the Microsoft Corp case of 2007 competition and copyright law are considered where the latter giv

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, multiple countries in central and eastern Europe have gone through a democratization process yet trust in institutions have remained low in these countries. Now Poland and Hungary are experiencing a democratic backsliding and autocratization and still trust in institutions remain low but stable. This paper examines whether these countries’ autocratic past are in

När åklagaren väcker åtal med stämningsansökan kräver 45:4 RB att han preciserar anklagelsen i vissa hänseenden som tid, plats, åberopat lagrum med mera. Detta sätter ramen för processen enligt 30:3 då åklagarens gärningsbeskrivning binder domstolen i deras prövning. Samtidigt får även EKMR betydelse för gärningsbeskrivningen då dessa bestämmelser ska läsas i ljuset av artikel 6 EKMR om rätten tilWhen the prosecutor presses charges according to 45:4 RB it requires that the prosecutor specify certain aspects of the charge such as time and place of the crime. It also requires him to specify what paragraph he thinks constitutes the crime. This binds the court trial and as such it provides the frame for the process. The ECHR is also of importance because of article 6 which states the right to

De senaste åren har diskussioner gällande straffreduktion i förhållande till flerfaldig brottslighet förts både av politiker och privatpersoner. Att systemet med mängdrabatter är alltför fördelaktigt är ett återkommande argument. Kritiken ledde till att en utredning tillsattes för att se över strafflagstiftningen. Det, tillsammans med den mediala uppmärksamhet som bland annat den så kallade NytorgBoth politicians and private individuals have, in recent years, discussed the Swedish criminal system regarding penalty reduction in relation to multiple crimes. The system being too generous by giving the perpetrator high discounts is a recurring argument. After being criticized for several years, the Swedish government has appointed an investigator to review the Swedish legislation. This, along

This is a qualitative content analysis of discussions that take place on what I call the backyard of democracy. I examine comment boxes on Facebook discussing the Swedish daily news paper Dagens Nyheters alleged obscuration of sexual harassments that took place during the festival We Are Sthlm in 2015. Using Wodaks categorization of the radical right populist discourse in Europe, I find that the c

Through quantitative surveys in the townships, and further interviewing the development manager of the Swedish election committee. The collected material on e-voting was tested on parts of the rational choice

Fördrag om Principer för Staternas Verksamhet vid Utforskning och Användning av Yttre Rymden, inklusive Månen och andra Himmelska Kroppar, infördes 1964. Sedan 1985 har inget nytt rymdtraktat introducerats. Rymden har sedan dess förändrats. På grund av detta, finns det många problem i rymden idag som inte förutsågs vid introduktionen av rymdtraktaten. Rymdskrot är ett av problemen som inte förutsåThe Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (Outer Space Treaty) was introduced in 1967. Although the area of space has widely changed since then, no new binding space treaties have been introduced since 1984. Consequently, the current legislation is not adapted to the many of the current space

En stor del av narkotikaförsäljningen sker idag via internet och distribueras genom det nationella postflödet där köpare inte sällan får hem försändelserna direkt i sin brevlåda. Mot bakgrund av detta föreslår 2021 års postlagsutredning (SOU 2021:29) ökade möjligheter för de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna att förhindra denna illegala handel. Utredningen föreslår bland annat att ge personal inom poA vast amount of drug sales take place daily via the internet and is distributed through the national postal system, where buyers often receive the items to their mailbox.
