INTERNATIONAL trade has become one of the pillars of the global economic system; an overlap between climate change policies and the multi-lateral trading system administered by the World Trade Organization (WTO) therefore seems inevitable. International trade affects climate change as it potentially increases economic activity that may in turn lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Conversely
In this paper I take my point of departure in a discussion around the research method of doing so called go-alongs, its possibilities and limits when trying to capture every day family practices and social differentiation. Here I am mostly interested in different aspects of work and care in relation to the practice of feeding in families with young children, a routine practice in every day family
This paper presents a mutual coupling based calibration method for time-division-duplex massive MIMO systems, which enables downlink precoding based on uplink channel estimates. The entire calibration procedure is carried out solely at the base station (BS) side by sounding all BS antenna pairs. An Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is derived, which processes the measured channels in order t
This paper provides a general framework for electromagnetic modeling, computation and measurements regarding the wave propagation characteristics of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power cables. The modeling is focused on very long (10 km or more) HVDC power cables and the relevant frequency range is therefore in the low-frequency regime of about 0-100 kHz. An exact dispersion relation is form
Heat release in the end-gas prior to autoignition was investigated using different experimental methods including transducers for heat flux and pressure as well as rotational coherent anti-Stokes-Raman spectroscopy, which is a laser-based method for non-intrusive instantaneous thermometry of the gas. The time history was examined in the cases of mixtures of various stoichio-metries, where some wer
Parents often have a busy time sorting out their life puzzles, including getting information about their children's activities in school. More and more communication between teachers and parents take place via digital school systems. It can be hard for parents to find the information they are looking for and the teacher decides when information is sent and what communication method to use. All par
The influence of temperature on cost and energy consumption during nanofiltration has been evaluated. The effect of temperature on pressure drop, fouling, concentration polarisation and changes in the membrane performance were evaluated experimentally and theoretically. Nanofiltration experiments using pure solutions and wastewater from the meat industry were performed at 25 and 55 °C with an Alfa
I maj 2019 antog regeringen EU:s direktiv om skydd för personer som rapporterar om överträdelser av unionsrätten, även kallat visselblåsardirektivet. Det konstaterades att den befintliga lagstiftningen, lag (2016:749) om särskilt skydd mot repressalier för arbetstagare som slår larm om allvarliga missförhållanden, inte levde upp till de minimikrav som fanns i direktivet. Därav fattade regeringen bIn May 2019 the government adopted the EU-directive on protection of persons who report breaches of Union law, also known as the whistleblowing directive. It was stated that current legislation, The act on special protection for employees who report on serious misconduct from 2016, did not fulfill the minimum requirements stated in the directive. Hence, the government made the decision to implemen
Amelogenin is a major constituent of enamel matrix protein that is responsible for the development of tooth enamel. Due to its self-assembly and physicochemical properties, amelogenin has been widely used as one of the natural biomaterials. Amelogenin, along with the other enamel matrix proteins have been known for its regenerative properties. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the enginee
We live in a time that some choose to call the psychedelic renaissance. Once again, after a period of silence in the scientific world, studies about psychedelics and their effects continues to bring knowledge to the subject. In this renaissance of psychedelics there’s still somewhat a gap in research regarding the recreational use of the substances. The aim of this study has been to seek a better
The EU is as a supranational organization based on the thought of the formation of an emerging common European economy. European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/38/EC was put into force in 2004 and is the latest involving the EU rules on free movement within the EU territory. The directive, called the directive on free movement, can also be seen as a part of the plan of a strong Europe given
This paper addresses how oil price changes affect the Oslo Stock Exchange. Multiple linear regressions with eight explanatory variables have been used to investigate the relationship between oil and the Oslo Stock Exchange between 1990-2009. The time period has also been divided into two sub periods to investigate if the effects of oil price changes have become more prominent over the years. After
Cloud is used more than ever before, and the trend seems to continue as more and more organizations choose to use cloud services such as database, storage, computing, or web servers. As more organizations choose cloud, the question of which cloud platform that best suits their needs is more relevant than ever. Within this thesis, the four largest cloud platforms have been evaluated to give future
This thesis was an investigation to survey how the new automated testing tool LeanFT compared to the older tool UFT. The thesis was an exploration into the tool LeanFT, examining how well LeanFT performed with GUI testing, what features the tool offered and how usable it was for a tester of software. The purpose of this thesis work was to come to a resolution on whether the LeanFT tool was a more
The economic potential of East Germany still severely lags behind that of the West. A scarcity of urban agglomerations is associated with this disparity. The origins of this disparity are insufficiently explored with regards to the spatial inequalities of urban growth induced by the two major shocks of central planning and reunification. By creating long-term time series for city growth and popula
This Master Thesis proposes to use a Spatial Hawkes Process to model the news flow in the world. The spatial part is divided in both geographical areas as well as different topics. Therefore, in the Hawkes model every news article corresponds to a point in space and time. In a certain region and topic the intensity of the released articles will be modelled with the Hawkes Process. This can be of i
