Begreppet adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change är relativt nytt in internationell miljörätt. Begreppet adaptation är inte definierat i UNFCCC. Den här uppsatsen analyserar adaptation i ljuset av begreppet reparation i internationell sedvanerätt. Uppsatsen undersöker vad begreppen adaptation och reparation har gemensamt. Kan adaptation i UNFCCC ses som en möjlig utveckling eller förlThe concept of adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change is relatively recent in international environmental law. Adaptation is not defined in the UNFCCC. This paper attempts to address adaptation in the UNFCCC from the perspective of reparation under customary international law. It investigates what the concepts of adaptation and reparation have in common. Could adaptation in the UNFCCC

Scientific summary: Ground settlement due to groundwater drainage during construction is important to be considered since ground settlement may cause severe building damages. The calculation of ground settlement contained several parameters with different magnitude of uncertainties. Thus a risk evaluation of ground settlement is necessary. The aim of this thesis was first to build a soil strata mo

In 2006 a new law in Peru was proposed by the government, compelling civil society organizations to work for the same development goals as the government, which basically meant to account for their funding, and if it was not in line with the goals of the government, organizations would be fined or suspended. I have conducted a minor field study in Peru and investigated the relationship between the

Tanzania is an illustrating case of how gender inequalities hinder the social, economic and political development of the country. Women’s subordinated position is an alarming factor which takes intricate forms grounded in traditional African culture and patriarchy. The struggle of existing laws does hence not reach out to the majority of women, leaving them unaware of their rights. Further, a numb

As authorities, the universities are subject to the principle of access to official documents. Records generated during the research process are thus to be regarded as official documents, even though there are disputes over exactly when they are to be considered as such. Scientists are, to various degrees, dependent of access to earlier research data, which may have been collected during research

Aims To study the prevalence of masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) in patients recently hospitalized for myocardial infarction, and to develop machine learning-based prediction models identifying MUCH. Methods and results Ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) was performed in 99 patients following hospitalization for a myocardial infarction. Sixty-two clinical variables were eligible f

Memory decline is a central cognitive symptom in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). While task-fMRI studies link hippocampal activity (AHA) to poorer memory and olfactory performance, this relationship during rest remains understudied. The objectives of this study are to examine differences in resting-state hippocampal networks, explore the occurrence of reduced AHA within these networks, and investigate i

High-precision lifetime measurements have been performed in superdeformed (SD) bands of 151,152Dy and 151Tb with the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Differences found in the quadrupole moments Q0 of the yrast SD bands are understood in terms of shape polarization effects by the high-N intruder orbitals. Q0 moments are also presented for three excited SD bands in 151Dy. Recent calculations can ac

The emerging concept of sustainable welfare attempts to integrate environmental sustainability and social welfare research. Oriented at a mid-term re-embedding of Western production and consumption norms into planetary limits, it suggests the development of “eco-social” policies in the rich countries. In this theoretical context, this article empirically investigates the relationships between atti

The emergence of antibiotic resistance necessitates effective strategies for evaluating antimicrobial agents. Bioluminescent bacteria, either naturally occurring or engineered with modified reporter genes like bacterial luciferase, provide real-time assessment of bacterial viability through light emission. We investigated the antibacterial effects of cefotaxime and doxycycline using bioluminescent

Coherent Diffraction Imaging (CDI) is an experimental technique to image isolated structures by recording the scattered light. The sample density can be recovered from the scattered field through a Fourier Transform operation. However, the phase of the field is lost during the measurement and has to be algorithmically retrieved. Here we present SPRING, an analysis framework tailored to X-ray Free

The advent and popularity of shared electric scooters in many urban areas worldwide offer new opportunities and challenges to be addressed by the research community, especially as far as safety and accessibility issues are concerned. This paper proposes a methodology, based on geofencing technology (i.e., virtual geographic boundaries) to define in which urban areas the speed of shared electric sc

Background and purpose: Hippocampus is a central component for neurocognitive function and memory. We investigated the predicted risk of neurocognitive impairment of craniospinal irradiation (CSI) and the deliverability and effects of hippocampal sparing. The risk estimates were derived from published NTCP models. Specifically, we leveraged the estimated benefit of reduced neurocognitive impairmen

Background. We investigated how varying the treatment margin and applying hippocampal sparing and proton therapy impact the risk of neurocognitive impairment in pediatric medulloblastoma patients compared with current standard 3D conformal radiotherapy. Methods. We included 17 pediatric medulloblastoma patients to represent the variability in tumor location relative to the hippocampal region. Trea

This study investigated the dosimetric impact of uncompensated motion and motion compensation with dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) tracking for prostate intensity modulated arc therapy. Two treatment approaches were investigated; a conventional approach with a uniform radiation dose to the target volume and an intraprostatic lesion (IPL) boosted approach with an increased dose to a subvolume o

Responsible internationalization has become an increasingly used term to promote relationship building in a world which is increasingly shaped by the growing impact of global challenges and geopolitical competition. Amidst these changing global conditions researchers and universities have started to learn that they need to adhere to an expanded set of norms related to the research endeavor. Today
