Time synchronisation is crucial for distributed systems, and particularly for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), where each node is executing concurrent operations to achieve a real-time objective. However, synchronisation is quite difficult to achieve in WSNs, due to the unpredictable deployment conditions and to physical effects like thermal stress, that cause drifts in the local node clocks. As a
In this paper, we consider robust stability analysis of large-scale sparsely interconnected uncertain systems. By modeling the interconnections among the subsystems with integral quadratic constraints, we show that robust stability analysis of such systems can be performed by solving a set of sparse linear matrix inequalities. We also show that a sparse formulation of the analysis problem is equiv
This Master‘s thesis is not about ocean acidification or the sixth species extinction. I want to address the loss of soils, extensive agriculture and inequalities in society. My thesis is not just about listing and analyzing problems; it is about finding a solution through a concrete project. In a time of increasing urbanization and suburbanization, it is important to find alternatives in small vi
Studies of virus capsids opens up new opportunities to develop different kind of cargo systems, but also the understanding of the transportation and the releasing of different kinds of cargo molecules. Virus capsids is a protein shell of a virus that encapsulates different types of infecting nucleic acid sequences in their native forms. One of these capsids is the Hepatitis B virus capsid that in
Abstract: China’s development today no doubt has had the country placed in the centre of the stage. However, the past turns out to be the opposite if we look back. While the other major countries stepped into the industrial era it seems like China was still napping with its daydreams. In this paper we dig deeply into the political, economic and social aspects of the country at the time and we thin
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om förvaltningsdomstolars åsidosättande av överklagandeförbud utgör en del av judikaliseringen av den förvaltningsrättsliga kulturen. För att uppnå detta syfte har jag formulerat tre frågor som undersöks i uppsatsen. Den första frågan belyser den svenska ordningen för överklagande och överklagandeförbud inom förvaltningsrätten samt dess bakgrund. Den andra fråThe purpose of this thesis is to examine whether administrative courts’ disregard of appeal prohibitions constitutes a part of the judicialization of the Swedish administrative legal culture. To achieve this aim, I have formulated three questions that are explored in the thesis. The first question highlights the Swedish system for appeals and appeal prohibitions within administrative law and its b
Margin of appreciation och proportionalitetsprincipen är två centrala koncept vid begränsningar av fri- och rättigheter enligt EKMR, med avgörande betydelse för bedömningen om en rättighet har kränkts eller inte. Koncepten kan sägas öppna upp för en viss vingelmån vid tolkningen av EKMR. Margin of appreciation ger konventionsstaterna ett visst utrymme att bedöma nödvändigheten av en rättighetsbegrMargin of appreciation and the principle of proportionality are two central concepts concerning limitations on rights and freedoms under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which plays decisive roles in assessing whether a right has been violated or not. These concepts can be said to allow for a certain leeway when interpreting the ECHR. The margin of appreciation grants the contractin
The purpose of this thesis is to provide an in-depth analysis of the concept of protection-worthy activities under the FDI Act. The main research question is, consequently, what constitutes protection-worthy activities under the FDI Act. This question is addressed by examining the areas covered by the term and by comparing it to similar concepts in the EU framework and the FDI screening regimes of
Avtal kan sorteras genom att delas in i avtalstyper. Frågan om ett specifikt avtal hör till en viss avtalstyp beror på om avtalets egenskaper stämmer överens med de medlemskapskriterier som ställs upp för avtalstypen. Två avtalstyper som åtminstone i vissa delar är svåra att avgränsa från varandra är borgensavtal och försäkringsavtal. I allt högre grad ställer försäkringsbolag ut säkerhetsrätter, Contracts can be sorted into different contract types. The question whether a specific contract belongs to a certain contract type depends on if the contract matches the essential characteristics of the contract type. Two contract types that, at least in some parts, are difficult to distinguish from one another are insurance and guarantees. Insurance companies has increasingly issued different typ
In this project epitaxially grown InAs-GaSb complex heterostructured nanowires have been characterized by means of aberration corrected TEM techniques and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The InAs-GaSb material is of interest due to its high charge carrier mobility, which has possible applications in electronic devices such as FETs. InAs-GaSb heterostructured nanowires in zincblende str
The Caroline Case with its principles of necessity, proportionality and immediacy is alleged to be part of customary international law consider anticipatory self-defence, but a closer examination views that it can not be, mostly because of States are not convinced that it is the correct behaviour. Even if Article 51 of the UN Charter has been expanded to include acts of terrorism as armed attacks,
In this study we investigated if stereotype conceptions against groups of people can be suppressed by retrieval practice and thereby affect implicit associations. Previous research of retrieval-induced forgetting has shown that interfering memories are inhibited and weakened by retrieval practice. Our hypothesis was that retrieval practice of features incongruent to a stereotype would cause memory
Building in a manner that minimizes environmental impact has become a major part of the construction industry. Despite increased knowledge in this area the development is moving slowly. The purpose of this thesis is to give the reader an idea of the approach to green construction of civil engineering. The definition of a green tender is defined by the people who have been interviewed. The question
Den ökande internetanvändningen och teknikutvecklingen har lett till en förflyttning av traditionella brott till den digitala miljön. Internet möjliggör kommunikation i en annan utsträckning än tidigare och större möjligheter för sexualförbrytare att kontakta barn i syfte att utsätta dessa för sexuella övergrepp. Digital bevisning avseende elektronisk kommunikation blir ett avgörande inslag i samtThe increasing use of internet and the development of technology has led to the transfer of traditional crimes into the digital environment. The internet enables communication to a different extent than before and greater opportunities for sexual offenders to contact children with the aim of exposing them to sexual abuse. Digital evidence is a crucial element in all investigations of such crimes.
I en rättsprocess har den tilltalade möjlighet att ange invändningar om alternativa förklaringar till det händelseförlopp som åklagaren gjort gällande. Åklagaren ska frambringa så mycket bevisning att det är ställt utom rimligt tvivel att det gick till på det vis som denna påstår. Invändningarna som den tilltalade gör kan påverka domslutet på varierande sätt. En del, till exempel allvarlig psykiskIn criminal trial procedures, the defendant has the opportunity to make a defence concerning the course of events adduced by the prosecutor. The prosecutor shall present as much evidence as necessary to reach the evidentiary requirement beyond reasonable doubt. The defence can affect the judicial decision in different ways. For example, a severe mental disorder and self-defence might result in a v
Mål om krigsförbrytelser är en relativt ny företeelse i svenska domstolar och utgör ofta typexempel på vad som kan betraktas som stora brottmål. Inte sällan föregås handläggningen av långa förundersökningar, till följd av komplex och svårutredd brottslighet, vilket leder till att processmaterialet blir mycket omfattande. Detta får till följd att dessa mål binder upp rättsväsendets och parternas reWar crime cases are a relatively new phenomenon in Swedish courts and often serve as a typical example of what can be considered major criminal cases. Often the proceedings are preceded by lengthy preliminary investigations due to crimes being complicated and hard to investigate, resulting in significant amounts of trial material. Consequently, these cases tie up the resources of the judiciary and
I november 2022 inleddes herrarnas fotbolls-VM i Qatar, en turnering som arrangeras av FIFA. Under förberedelserna inför fotbolls-VM rapporterades det från flera håll om kränkningar av framför allt migrantarbetares mänskliga rättigheter, bland annat i form av långa och varma arbetsdagar, låga och obetalda löner och i värsta fall dödsfall på arbetsplatserna. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att unIn November 2022, the men’s soccer World Cup in Qatar, a tournament organized by FIFA, commenced. During the preparations for the World Cup, there were numerous reports of violations of human rights, in particular regarding the rights of migrant workers. These violations have included reports of long and hot working days, low and unpaid wages and, in worst cases, deaths at the workplace. The aim o
Den tekniska utvecklingen innebär att det finns nya sätt att kränka en annan person som inte överensstämmer med de tillvägagångssätt som tidigare avsetts i svensk straffrätt. Förevarande uppsats är en undersökning av straffbara ofredanden på sociala medier. Utredningen görs med utgångspunkt i den kritik som riktats mot svensk lagstiftning. Två bestämmelser som kan aktualiseras när brott begås via
This thesis seeks to determine whether it is possible to strike a regulatory balance between satisfying the interests derived from individuals' right to privacy and states' defence of national security. However, the goal of this work is not to conduct an abstract analysis of the interrelations of these, sometimes conflicting, interests but to find practical solutions to a present issue, th
