The reassignment method is a technique for improving the concentration of signals in spectrograms and other time-frequency representations (TFR). It achieves this by displacing the points in a TFR according to the reassignment vector for every point. By doing so, the reassignment method gives perfect concentration of infinite constant frequency sinusoids, impulses and linear chirps. A downside to
There has been little empirical study of the relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth, especially with a focus in Asia and the Pacific (APAC) region. In this paper, this relationship for 23 APAC economies is examined. A panel data set of remittances and financial development indices for the period 1990 – 2017 is set up to explore the impact of financial development on remittance
In this thesis, the GW approximation (GWA, Green's function G times screened interaction W) and the Hubbard I approximation (HIA) are combined in a non-self-consistent one-shot calculation to determine the electronic structure of a one-dimensional strongly-correlated model. The scheme was chosen to incorporate both screening effects through the GWA and strong on-site correlations through the a
The existence of doubly charged Higgs bosons (H±±) is predicted by several theories beyond the Standard Model that aim to explain the origin of neutrino masses. These particles are expected to decay into same-sign lepton pairs H±± → ℓ±ℓ±. At the LHC, they are produced predominantly via the Drell–Yan process, resulting in four-lepton final states. Due to the rarity of events involving doubly charge
The European Monetary Union was formed over a decade ago with a mission to create a single market with a single currency for the European Union members. Today only 19 out of the European Union members have adopted the official common currency, the Euro. The purpose for this thesis is to asses how the Euro has effected Finland’s exports during the time period 1995-2014. This has been estimated thro
In the last couple of years it has become more and more common to use control theory in computing systems, for instance operating systems, web servers and databases. The reason for this is to make these systems more robust and stable. This is of interest because we today are more dependent on computing systems in our everyday life, and therefore put higher demands on them. A lot of focus has been
The aim of this project was to determine the consequences of the large-scale introduction of wood-based biofuels in the road transport sector. Therefore a model has been developed to project the demand for wood in Sweden in the period from 2007 to 2050. The wood-using sectors that were taken into account are: the sawmill industry; the paper and pulp industry, which was split in three: integrated c
The development of the constitution of Zimbabwe reflects many aspects of the political turmoil currently troubling the country. The constitution as an institution can therefore be analyzed in a perspective of historical institutionalism where the theory of path dependency provides an understanding of the choices made by different political actors throughout Zimbabwe’s independent history. The adop
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur miljöförsvarare kan skyddas inom EUrätten i utövandet av civil olydnad. Syftet baseras till stor del på- och inspireras av Guidelines on Peaceful Environmental Protest and Civil Disobedience som Specialrapportören för miljöförsvarare under Århuskonventionens nyligen har publicerat. Vidare bygger uppsatsen på ett antal internationella konventioner för att undThis graduate thesis aims to examine possible avenues for protection for environmental defenders exercising civil disobedience within the EU legal framework. The aim is based on and inspired by the Guidelines on Peaceful Environmental Protest and Civil Disobedience published in 2025 by the Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders under the Aarhus Convention. Further, the graduate thesis buil
Sedan principen om ömsesidigt erkännande först formulerades i Cassis de Dijon-domen 1979 har den utgjort ett centralt inslag i den europeiska rättsordningen, och den fortsätter att spela en avgörande roll för att förverkliga den fria rörlig-heten inom EU:s inre marknad i dag. Även om principens kärna, att varor som lagligen saluförs i en medlemsstat i princip ska få cirkulera fritt i en annan, harEver since its emergence in 1979 in the Cassis de Dijon judgment, the principle of mutual recognition has constituted a central element of the European legal order, and it continues to play a crucial role in realising free movement within the EU’s Internal Market today. Although the core of the principle, that goods lawfully marketed in one Member State should be permitted to circulate freely in a
The expansion of the European Union's (EU) regulatory sphere creates conflicts of sovereignty between the EU and its member states, and third countries that lack a possibility to participate in the making of those laws and policies. The conflict is epitomised in the concept of the Union's decision-making autonomy. Albeit stringently applied, the concept is ambiguous and undefined. This article end
This paper is about the issue of responsibility for forcefully displaced in conflict. It highlights the issue of responsibility in regard to forcefully displaced persons as portrayed by the International Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The subject for analysis is IDMC’s report submitted year 2006, which is a summary of forced displacement’s causes and consequences in the Eritrea and Ethiopia conflict (1
This thesis aims to understand the state of the Green Revolution movement in Ghana, with a focus on environmental policy and its potential for future development. The main research question applied is “What is the potential for an environmentally sustainable Green Revolution-type advancement in agriculture in Ghana?”. A quantitative, comparative case study methodology is applied, in which three
This thesis examines in what way Brexit is constructed as a security threat with regards to the Irish border. If the UK were to leave the EU a border would have to be installed, but installing a border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland would violate the Good Friday Agreement. Brexit has resulted in a prolonged process because the politicians cannot agree on a withdrawal agreemen
This thesis focuses on how online activists react to online censorship imposed onto them by social media platforms and how the reactions shape the activists’ responses to the censorship. It does so by deploying a qualitative interview study design onto how Swedish individuals who advocate for Palestine online experience and respond to digital censorship on Meta’s social media platforms. In the st
The search for greener ways of producing plastic has been a very popular field for the last few years. One avenue of research focuses on separating plastic production from the fossil fuel industry by finding bio-based alternatives. This is the case of the research conducted by our collaborators at Biotechnology who are trying to use Escherichia coli to produce 1,4-butanediol, a precursor to many p
This thesis explores the experience of being young, Egyptian, supportive of the 2011 revolution, and active in civil society in the post-revolutionary period in Cairo and Alexandria. It draws from 5 in-depth interviews, and aims to understand the reasons behind youth’s engagement in the revolution beyond the framework of youth economic exclusion. It looks into their expectations from the revolutio
Background: Since the publication of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for the management of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) in 2009, several relevant randomised clinical trials and cohort analyses have been published, which have the potential to change clinical care and therefore supporting the need to update the original recommendations. Methods: Using EULAR standardis
