Technical standards often implicate patented technologies. This poses a risk of patent hold-up, whereby a standard essential patent (“SEP”) holder opportunistically exploits its market power conferred by standardization and demands excessive and possibly differential royalties from implementers of the standard. Commitments to license on fair, reasonable, and non- discriminatory (“F/RAND”) terms im
Migration har ökat blivit en politisk fråga. I och med att EU och medlemsstaterna satsar mer pengar på gränskontroll så har en lukrativ marknad öppnats för privata företag. Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att undersöka privatiseringen av förvar i EU och dess konsekvenser. Uppsatsen ämnar undersöka de juridiska problem som kan uppstå när private aktörer blir ökat involverade i förvarsregimen. Vid
Hydraulic models can be used to predict the consequences of flooding events. In this project, three hydraulic models were constructed using the software HEC-RAS, and compared through a case study on Höje river catchment. The models include (i) a 1-dimensional (1D) model, where river and floodplain flow is modeled in 1D, (ii) a coupled 1D-2D model, where river flow is modeled in 1D and floodplain f
This paper examines firefighter exposure to emissions during actual firefighting in building scenarios. The focus is on actual exposure, not small-scale lab tests, to identify research gaps in light of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification of firefighting as an occupation with a heightened risk for certain types of cancer. The work is based on a systematic literatur
The human influence on Earth's ecosystems is omnipresent. Artificial light at night (ALAN), anthropogenic noise, and air pollution are inherent features of human activities and infrastructure and pose novel environmental challenges to urban-dwelling wildlife. So far, most of the studies investigating the impacts of exposure to urban pollutants on animals have either investigated the effects of urb
BACKGROUND: Several studies have examined the effect of community interventions on youth alcohol consumption, and the results have often been mixed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a community intervention known as the Öckerö Method on adolescent alcohol consumption and perceived parental attitudes towards adolescent drinking. METHOD: The study is based on a quasi-experim
In late October 2023, the storm Babet struck the southeast coast of Sweden, high waves and extreme water levels caused significant damage to infrastructure. Simrishamn’s central harbour was particularly affected, with waves smashing and destroying the as- phalt on the southern pier. The revetment covering the entire seaward edge of the pier is estimated to tolerate a significant wave height of up
In March 2018, the Turkish armed forces, together with the Syrian National Army, seized control of the Syrian district of Afrin bordering Turkey as a result of the military offensive called 'Operation Olive Branch'. This takeover marked the beginning of Turkish military rule of Afrin, which has now extended over six years. Afrin’s case is a significant example of Turkey's broader forei
The present study aimed at investigating the recent phenomenon termed Fear of missing out (FOMO), which builds on a feeling of constantly having to be connected to what other people are doing on social media in order to not miss out. The purpose of this study was to see if a link between FOMO and social media addiction is present and if Swedish university students’ well-being and academic performa
Forests are critical carbon sinks that mitigate anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, a primary driver of climate change. However, the impact that forest management methods have on the ecosystem carbon exchange is under debate and the potential carbon sink strength of forests is still uncertain. In this study, annual net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and forest age data from rotation forests (RFs
The crystal structures of Bi2.5Na0.5Ta2O9 and Bi2.5Nam-1.5NbmO3m+3 (m = 3,4) have been investigated.ysis of their neutron powder diffraction by the Rietveld anal patterns (lambda = 1.470 Angstrom). These compounds belong to the Aurivillius phase family and are built up by (Bi2O2)(2+) fluorite layers and (A(m-1)BnO(3m+1))(2-) (m = 2-4) pseudo-perovskite slabs. Bi2.5Na0.5Ta2O9 (m = 2) and Bi2.5Na2.5
Aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) as grid-scale energy storage devices hold great potential to accomodate the rising demand for intermittent renewable energy sources. A significant parameter that enhances the sustainability of RFBs is selecting the appropriate redox species. In this study, we investigated the application of lignosulfonate as a redox species for the negolyte of aqueous RFBs becau
Rapporten är en brandteknisk riskvärdering med avseende på personsäkerhet i C-huset på campus Valla vid Linköpings universitet, under cosplayfestivalen NärCon som anordnas varje sommar. Syftet med rapporten var att förse ansvariga vid universitetet med underlag för att kunna säkerställa tillfredsställande brandsäkerhet med avseende på personers liv och hälsa. Målen som ansattes för att uppfylla syThe report was authored primarily for educational aims as part of the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering (VBRN70) at Lund University. The scope of the report entails the C building at campus Valla of Linköping University, during the annually held cosplay festival NärCon. The festival presents conditions differing from the building’s intended use. The purpose of the report was to provide university
The thesis investigates the acoustic performance of light weight timber constructions known as timber volume elements and vibration insulation methods employed in these. Common materials used in light weight timber floor constructions and different floor configurations consisting of these materials were also studied. The study consists of impact sound and air-borne sound insulation measurements pe
The aim of this study was to investigate whether students in the field of social work assess symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation differently, depending on the age of the client. A case vignette method was used where social work students in Lund (N=102) and Helsingborg (N=71) responded to one of two online questionnaires each. The case vignette featured a 78 year old client for the student
Swedish primary care is under a lot of pressure and struggle to keep up with the big patient flow. An alternative to visiting a physical primary care centre is to visit Min Doktor which is a digital healthcare centre offering doctor visits online that help patients with diagnosis, prescriptions and referrals. Today, Min Doktor’s service is only treating people from the age of 18 but they are curre
Given the increase in electricity prices in recent years due to two reasons; the rebound effect after the initial corona outbreak and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the burden of paying the rising monthly expense for electricity has become an unwelcome reality for a significant part of society. The electricity trades on the open market called Nord Pool for the Nordic countries, among others, whe
Jihadism has become a major topic in Western as well as non-western public debate. Many military groups have sprung up in late 20th and early 21st century, claiming legitimacy using jihad for a wide variety of causes ranging from Kashmir, Somalia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Nigeria. This leads to the question whether Islamist fundamentalism has been successful in project
This study investigates the relationship between social investments and public transport. The purpose is to determine the state of knowledge with regards to social investments and public transport, and if possible determine the factors necessary for this to succeed. To outline the concept of social investments within the framework of transport economics, a thorough review of the relevant theory, a
