An increasing demand of higher data rates in wireless communication forces the industry to look to higher frequencies to find the required bandwidths. This thesis is about analog transmitters in CMOS for millimeter-wave communication, and it focuses on improving power amplifiers and frequency generation circuits, and increase their efficiency. This thesis starts with an introduction to millimeter-

AIMS : Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of unknown aetiology characterized by orthostatic intolerance and tachycardia with diverse other symptoms, including neurocognitive deficits. Cerebral oximetry non-invasively measures cerebral tissue saturation (SctO2) and has been shown to be informative in syncope evaluation. We aimed to assess SctO2 in POTS patients and those

In this contribution we present some preliminary results on the dynamical evolution of two planet systems around stellar hosts evolving from the main sequence to the white dwarf phase. The aim is to study the instabilities triggered by stellar evolution that may bring planets onto the stellar surface or produce planetary scale collisions (hence debris) that could explain the metallic atmospheric p

The rule of law in the EU is not only substantive and formal, it is also procedural. From the early years of European integration until now – and this through the interpretative lens of either the terse Article 31 ECSC or the robust Article 19 TEU - the procedural rule of law has always been thriving and jolting in the case law of both the European Coal and Steal Community (ECSC) Court and the Cou

Sound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal. Alternatively by correlating two received signals it is possible to estimate distance difference. Such methods can be divided into methods that are robust to noise and reverberation, but give limited precision and sub-sample refinements that are sensitive to noiseSound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal.

This paper proposes a first-principle model of GPS receivers, that allows us to exploit the trade-off between battery consumption and positioning accuracy. We present the model and propose a GPS sampling strategy that uses both the current positioning confidence, and information about the GPS status. We complement the GPS sensor with internal measurement units and show how the given model exposes

Desalination is an important method and cost effective for producing potable water and is a rapidly growing technology worldwide. According to the International Desalination Association, IDA data base the amount of desalinated water soon will reach the 100 MCM per day, which means double of this amount (200 MCM/day) is called brine discharge or rejected amount. In this study, we planned to follow

The present report presents a conceptual assessment model or framework for policy relevant analysis of low carbon transitions. The aim of the study is not to present specific guidelines for how to design assessments of low carbon transitions, but rather to give food for thought on aspects that should be regarded in the design process. The exact design would then depend on the purpose of the assess

This chapter aims to discuss the phenomenon of altering the telos of a treaty by changing the focus of its object and purpose through treaty implementation. To examine the consequences in international law of altering the telos of a treaty, this contribution uses the example of the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) against the backdrop of the considerations regarding a possi

Since the beginning of African decolonisation in the mid-twentieth century, many newly independent countries struggled to embark upon a path of sustained economic growth to raise their populations out of poverty. One of these countries is Tanzania. Surrounded by the Great Lakes on the west and bordering the Indian Ocean to the east, Tanzania is the fifth-most populous country in Africa. It is also

Skadestånd vid offentlig upphandling är ett relativt outforskat område i svensk rätt och upphandlingens unika karaktär gör att det inte är möjligt att rakt av plocka lösningar från den övriga skadeståndsrätten. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda upphandlingsskadeståndets karaktär i förhållande till den övriga skadeståndsrätten, dock begränsat till ansvaret för ren förmögenhetsskada i utomoblDamages in public procurement is a relatively unexplored area in Swedish law and the special nature of the procurement procedure means that it is not possible to solve certain issues by looking solely at the established tort law. This paper aims to investigate the character of the liability to pay damages in relation to the rest of the tort law; however, it is limited to the liability for damages

Frågan om samvetsfrihet inom abortvården är ett mycket aktuellt diskussions-ämne i Sverige. Vi saknar lagregleringar på området och det är osäkert huruvida man som anställd barnmorska har rätt till samvetsfrihet. Uppsatsen tar sikte på att utreda vad gällande rätt i Sverige är när det kommer till om en barnmorskas rätt till samvetsfrihet går före en kvinnas rätt till abort samt patientsäkerhet. FöIn Sweden there’s an ongoing discussion whether or not a person within the health profession should have a right to conscience when it comes to performing abortions. There are no regulations on the subject and therefore no clear guide-lines on what is right and what is not. The question is what kind of demands an employer can make towards her employees when it comes to performing abor-tions and wh

IT ses ofta som en del av lösningen för att uppnå ett hållbart samhälle genom till exempel minskat resande, optimering av industri- och jordbruksprocesser, intelligenta elmätare och smarta hem. Något man sällan reflekterar över är att ITbranschen själv också bidrar till elanvändningen. Ett nytt fenomen inom IT-världen är molnet som ger möjlighet till som det verkar outtömliga resurser i form av laInformation and communication technology (ICT) is often seen as part of the solution for a sustainable society, for example through reduced travel, optimization of industrial and agricultural processes, smart meters and smart homes. However, something usually left unconsidered is the electricity consumption of ICT itself. A new phenomenon of the ICT industry is the Cloud that enables seemingly ine

Detta arbete behandlar och utreder begreppet provocerad uppsägning och dess användning i svensk rätt. Arbetet har begränsats till att endast avhandla den svenska rätten eftersom det inte finns EU-rättsliga bestämmelser som motsvarar det som finns i den svenska anställningsskyddslagen. Eftersom det endast finns mycket begränsad doktrin på området så har begreppet utretts med hjälp av rättsfallstudiThis work discusses and investigates the concept provoked dismissal and its use in Swedish law. The essay has been limited to only discuss the Swedish law since there are no EU rules corresponding to those found in the Swedish Employment Protection Act. Since there is only very limited doctrine on the subject, the concept has been investigated using case studies. The legal cases are taken from the

Kollektivavtalet intar en unik position i svensk arbetsrätt. Den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen präglas av att lagstiftaren har låtit många frågor vara oreglerade till förmån för parternas autonomi och självreglering genom kollektivavtal. När parterna är oense om innebörden av en bestämmelse i ett kollektivavtal kan de ta tvisten till Arbetsdomstolen. Det finns inga lagstiftade riktlinjer för hur Collective agreements hold an unique position in Swedish labour law. The Swedish legislator has allowed many issues to be unsettled for the benefit of the parties' autonomy and self-regulation through collective bargaining. When the parties disagree on the meaning of a collective agreement they may take the dispute to the Swedish Labour Court. There are no legislated guidelines on how the inte

For a modern company to stay competitive on the market, efficient solutions and production systems are often needed. The customer also request more variants while still paying the same low price as before. To keep cost as low as possible several strategies and aspects can be analysed and implemented. In order for IKEA to meet their goals and to be able to deliver according to their plans for the I

Under mina sista år som student på arkitektskolan i Lund har jag flera gånger stött på något som jag uppfattar som en diskrepans mellan människors upplevda trygghet av och den statistiskt kartlagda säkerheten för ett givet rum eller plats. Det är för mig intressant hur ett ställe som Stureplan i Stockholm, berömt för dess nattliv men också ökänt för dess höga nivåer av kriminalitet, kan uppfattas Several times over the last few years, I have come across what I identify as a considerable discrepancy between a person’s perceived sense of security and the statistically based safety of a given space or place. It is interesting that a place, like Stureplan in Stockholm, famous for its nightlife yet statistically proven to be “dangerous”, could be perceived as far more pleasant than the dark, bu

Lagrådet har en central roll i lagstiftningsprocessen. Granskningsinstansen utgör en viktig funktion i att bistå regering och riksdag med värdefulla juridisk tekniska kunskaper, så att god lagstiftning av hög kvalitet kan skapas. För att lagstiftningen ska anses som god bör den fullgöra sina övergripande funktioner, vilka kan sammanfattas som tillförsäkrande av en grundläggande trygghet i samhälleThe Legal council is a central part of the legislation process. It constitutes an important function in aiding the government with valuable legal technical knowledge, for good legislation to be created. In order for the legislation to be considered as good, it needs to fulfil its overall functions, which can be summarized as insuring of a basic security in the society through multiple aspects. Cit

With the adoption of MiFID II, a new, less regulated ‘level’ of capital mar-ket, the SME Growth market, is now available for the member states of the European Union. Available for SME Growth markets, there are several regu-latory alleviations for issuers of shares regarding e.g. the supply of infor-mation to the market, compared to issuers on regulated and MTF markets. With this in mind, this thes

Life at a music festival can be both a blessing and a curse. It creates a feeling of escaping reality into euphoric happiness and freedom that only music festivals can bring. But one thing can drastically change this mood and make the living at the festival quite miserable – the weather. Rain as well as too high or low temperatures contribute to this negative change of mood. The festival chosen fo
