Uncertainties in determination of the Earth’s albedo currently limit our understanding of climate and climate change. A new telescope has been designed and built in collaboration between Danish Meteorological Institute and Lund Observatory to study the ratio between the intensities of earthshine to moonlight. This ratio is proportional to the terrestrial albedo. The aim of the Earthshine Telescope

The AKP ’s proactive foreign policy and the decline of EU-Turkey and US-Turkey relations, along with Turkey’s strengthening ties with its Eastern neighbors, has sparked a heated scholarly and media debate about the axis shift of Turkish foreign policy—from the West to the East. The purpose of the present thesis is to analyze if the arguments of the axis shift supporters are grounded enough to prov

I denna uppsats analyseras om, och i så fall hur, domaren kan minska risken för s.k. systematiska tankefel vid bevisvärderingen i brottmål. Ett systematiskt tankefel är ett tankefel som vi människor tenderar att göra gång på gång och som uppkommer som en konsekvens av hur det mänskliga tänkandet är konstruerat. Det finns anledning att anta att dessa typer av tankefel också förekommer inom ramen föThis paper is concerned with cognitive biases in legal decision making. A bias is a systematic error in thinking which can be explained by the way the human mind is designed. There are reasons to believe that judges fall prey to biases and errors when they are confronted with evidence in Court. The author discusses whether it is possible for judges to avoid biases when they evaluate legal evidenc

Unsustainability is persistent despite growing awareness that the industrial way of life, its modes of production and consumption need to be transformed. In academic sustainability contexts, however, attention is rarely paid to how industrial societies basically operate and how our everyday life is implicated beyond the usual suspect: consumerism.

Retailers now have to consider the integration of this technology in their omnichannel strategy. While some industries, such as customer electronics, have been highly affected by this trend, m-commerce has not received t

The formation of α-synuclein amyloid fibrils and accumulation in inclusion bodies termed Lewy bodies are considered the hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. It has been found that the formation of fibrils is highly pH dependent, which is thought to be linked to the highly negatively charged C-terminal tail of α-synuclein. The aim of this project was to study if the pKa values of the C-terminal tail in

FATTIGSVERIGE SKUGGA is a study of public discourse on class differences, poverty and social exclusion in Sweden during different time periods, in relation to the socio-economic context and its changes over time.

I syfte att bekämpa grov brottslighet vidtar svenska myndigheter olika provokativa åtgärder, däribland brottsprovokation. Otillbörlig brottsprovokation innebär att någon provoceras att begå ett brott som denne annars inte hade begått. Detta är idag otillåtet, både enligt svensk rätt och enligt Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande fri- och rättigheterIn order to combat serious crime, Swedish authorities implement provocative actions, including entrapment. Undue entrapment means that someone is provoked to commit a crime that he or she would not otherwise have committed. This is currently prohibited, both under Swedish law and under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The purpose of the prohibition of such entrapment is to protect t

En väl utförd bevisvärdering och ett högt ställt beviskrav är centralt för den enskildes rättssäkerhet. Examensuppsatsens främsta syfte är att utreda hur granskningen företas av indiciebevisning i förhållande till beviskravet och bevisvärderingen i brottmål. Syftet är uppbyggt kring tre grundpelare.

I inköpsfunktionen för indirekt material och tjänster finns, för fallstudieföretagen, en kategori som ofta benämns Professionella tjänster eller dylikt. I denna övergripande kategori är konsult- och bemanningstjänster ofta underkategorier. Gränsdragningen mellan konsulttjänsterna och bemanningstjänster har dock visat sig otydliga och problematiken verkar främst finnas för konsult- och bemanningstjIn the purchasing funktion of indirect materials and services there is, for the case study companies, a category often referred to as Professional Services. In this overall category consultancy and temporary labour services are subcategories. Drawing the line between consultancy and temporary labour services has been proved unclear and the problems seem to mainly concern IT services. A proposal on

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Jordens klimat står under ständiga variationer och förändringar, och det är inte alltid lätt att sära på orsak och verkan bland den mängd av faktorer som styr klimatet. För att kunna reda ut ursprunget till de förändringar som sker, måste de bakomliggande processerna vara väl kända. Sedan är det möjligt att genom matematiska modeller uppskatta de individuella prSeveral studies have analysed the relationship between Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and radiative surface temperature. A main goal for most studies have been to find the best method for carrying out land cover classifications and to study land cover changes, based on a combination between the two parameters. Since atmospheric components have a significant influence on both paramet

One of these measures is environmental classification systems, which is used in the construction- and property sector. Environmental classification systems are methods which evaluate a building's environmental performance in or

Since the adoption of the Charter of the United Nations the pattern of conflict in the international arena has drastically changed. From largely being a scene for inter-state conflicts, internal conflicts have predominated the post-war era. The few international conflicts that the post-war world has witnessed have originated in civil conflicts. The principle of non-intervention implies the duty fo
