The synthesis of metal-organic porous complexes within supramolecular chemistry is a topic of great interest due to their versatile use, e.g., molecular storage, sensors, drug delivery, molecular extractors, catalysis, and enzyme mimics, with applications in various fields such as bio-, agricultural-, and pharmaceutical chemistry. This is possible because smaller molecules enter the macromolecule
The course of this thesis takes its starting point from a question inspired by the work of architect and artist Allan Wexler; How can one create a building that emanates from one’s subconscious? Wexler states that he aims to create buildings in the same manner as a potter throws a pot on a wheel, without hesitation, in a kind of stream of consciousness fashion. The question about the subconscious
This work investigates single-sensor localization of acoustic emissions (AEs) along a wind turbine blade with supervised neural networks. We evaluate six architectures: a Dense MLP, a 1D CNN on time-domain inputs, two 2D CNNs on linear spectrograms (LinSpec) and mel-spectrograms (MelSpec), a CRNN (2D CNN + LSTM), and RepVGG (Mini RepVGG in simulation, RepVGG-A0 in experiments). Three experimental

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur artikel 12 barnkonventionen om barnets rätt att komma till tals kommer till uttryck i svensk och norsk lagstiftning gällande vårdnadstvister. En grundläggande princip i svensk och norsk rätt är att den som har ett legitimt intresse i en tvistefråga också ska ha talerätt i densamma. Då barnets framtid kommer påverkas av utgången i dessa tvister är det av intresThe aim of this thesis is to examine how Article 12 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), is reflected in Swedish and Norwegian legislation concerning custody, residence and contact disputes. A fundamental principle in both Swedish and Norwegian law is that a person with a legitimate interest in a legal dispute should also have a right to litigate in the matter. It is of particular inter
Situationen rörande undervattenskablar och ledningar är mer aktuella än någonsin. Med bakgrund i den allt snabbare digitaliseringen i världen, har denna typ av infrastruktur blivit allt viktigare givet dess användning för kommunikationstjänster och energitillgångar. Detta har gjort sådan infrastruktur en sårbar måltavla för hybridkrigföring. Under de senaste tre åren har sådana situationer utspelaThe situation regarding submarine cables and pipelines is more relevant than ever. As the world’s digitalisation keeps increasing, submarine infrastructure acquires more and more importance due to its vitality for communication services and energy reliability, thus becoming a vulnerable target for hybrid warfare. Such acts of deliberate sabotage have surged, with seven incidents being reported in
Den svenska upphandlingsrätten grundar sig på EU-rättens ändamål och prin-ciper vilket kommer till uttryck i upphandlingsdirektivet. Syftet är att främja unionens inre marknaden, säkerställa en effektiv konkurrens och kostnadsef-fektivt nyttjande av offentliga medel. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka i vil-ken utsträckning upphandlande myndigheter får styra prissättningen vid of-fentliga upphandliSwedish procurement law is based on the objectives and principles of EU law, which are expressed in the Procurement Directive. The aim is to promote the Union's internal market, ensure effective competition and cost-effective use of public funds. The aim of the thesis is to examine the extent to which contracting authorities may control pricing in public procurement. The thesis also examines h
Greywater, which comes from household sources such as showers, laundry, and dishwashing, is typically less polluted than toilet wastewater and can be treated and reused. In Helsingborg, Sweden, the RecoLab collects and treats greywater from Oceanhamnen separately as part of a source-separated wastewater system. However, the system has experienced is-sues with filamentous bacteria overgrowth, raisi
In recent decades, international human rights law has encountered growing challenges and opportunities at the same time, posed by regimes that, while maintaining democratic appearances such as free and fair elections, adopt authoritarian practices questionable with liberal rule-of-law stand-ards. This phenomenon, has being referred to as "illiberalism," reflecting a ris-ing tension betw
In the context of reducing aviation emissions, understanding flame dynamics and improving combustion efficiency are key factors in the development of low-emission engines. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and in particular Large Eddy Simulation (LES), are powerful tools to investigate unsteady phenomena such as blow-off of turbulent flames. Understanding flame stabilization and extinction pheno
Denna uppsats undersöker hotspot-modellen i Grekland och dess förenlighet med de grundläggande rättigheter som fastställs i Europeiska konventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna, närmare bestämt artiklarna 3 och 5. Hotspotsystemet infördes som en nödåtgärd som svar på det ökade antalet ankommande flyktingar vid EU:s yttre gränser under 2015-2016. I Grekland utvecklades det dock till en mer permaneThis thesis examines the hotspot approach in Greece and its compatibility with the fundamental rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, with a particular focus on Articles 3 and 5. The hotspot system was introduced as an emergency measure in response to the increased number of arrivals at the EU’s external borders in 2015-2016. In Greece, however, it evolved into a more permane
This thesis analyses the structural limitations of the prevailing entitlement-based framework of international human rights law (IHRL), particularly in pluralistic and multicultural societies, and evaluates whether integrating duties alongside existing rights, a duty-infused reconceptualization, can address those limitations or not? The study draws its primary motivation from a structural crisis i
This thesis consists of four self-contained papers in the economics of education and labor economics.In the first chapter, we study whether differences in teacher quality across countries are a contributor of international learning gaps. In particular, we study the effects of two dimensions of teacher quality, subject knowledge and didactic skills, on student learning in francophone Sub-Saharan Af
Introduction: Exposure to high acoustic noise levels generated during 7 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may affect auditory function. To better understand these effects, this study examines how such noise exposure influences outer hair cell function in healthy adults, with a focus on the efficiency of a dual hearing protection method. Methods: In this within-subjects longitudinal study,
