As some insect groups are declining at alarming rates, accurate and automated insect monitoring is needed to prioritize habitats for conservation. The dual-band entomological Scheimpflug lidar technique is a promising candidate method for real-time insect monitoring: it allows the detection of thousands of flying insects per day at high temporal and spatial resolutions. The signals contain a pleth
Light extinction is widely used to study particles in sprays, soot-forming combustion, and multiphase reactive flows. However, quantitative interpretation of extinction signals remains challenging when particles have a sufficiently large scattering albedo, meaning that incident photons are scattered much more than they are absorbed. This is especially true when experiments involve large apertures
In this thesis we consider different tests for unit roots in the presence of structural change. We present the theory that lies behind unit roots, what we mean by structural change and try to detect the instances that “breaks” occur in the data. When performing a unit root test, when there is a structural change the results are biased toward accepting a unit root. Therefore, special care must be t
The main sustainability goal of many small islands in the North Sea is to become self supplied in renewable energy in 20-30 years. The majority of the islands are trying to repeat Samsø‘s success – to make a transition towards energy sustainable system by new energy production from local renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass. However, for other islands like Spiekeroog island, a tourist
Information and communication technologies have acquired contemporary prominence and are being introduced as new and technologically innovative devices for rapid African development, becoming key cornerstones of the development assistance interventions of the European Union and the G8. But the Dot Force Initiative of the G8 and the various ICT for development programmes of the EU display a moderni
The paper analyzes the national judgment in the Laval case and argues that horizontal liability for damages is possible. Additionally, the paper shows that state liability is usually possible in the case of horizontal liability. It also touches upon the question of whether there are community rights to damages arising from the ECJ case law. At the same time, it argues that the state liability requ
Uppsatsen behandlar rättsfiguren culpa in contrahendo, vårdslöshet i samband med avtalsförhandlingar. Huvudregeln är att parterna förhandlar på egen risk vilket innebär att de inte kan räkna med att få sina förhandlingskostnader ersatta i det fall avtalsförhandlingarna strandar. Culpa in contrahendo utgör ett undantag till denna huvudregel. För att ersättning enligt culpa in contrahendo ska kunn
Due to various reasons like globalization and conflicts many countries are experiencing high levels of in-and outmigration. Strongly increased diversified migration has evoked a multiple reactions from the receiving societies. On the one hand, civil societies may respond positively and openly towards immigrants, but on the other hand, there have been significant changes in public and political att
Human Rights Accountability är en egenskap i relationen mellan styrande och medborgare. När egenskapen existerar förhindrar den människorättskränkningar genom att medborgarna får inflytande över beslutfattande. Begreppet behöver klargöras för att nå sitt fulla potential som verktyg för planering och analys eftersom missförståelse kan ha farliga konsekvenser i misslyckandet att förebygga politiskt Human Rights Accountability is a property of the relationship between rulers and citi-zens. When it exists, it prevents violations of Human Rights by enabling citizens to in-fluence decision-making. The concept needs clarification in order to reach its full poten-tial as a tool for planning and analysis. Misunderstanding can have dangerous conse-quences in the failure to prevent political violence
The Troubles in Northern Ireland have played a prominent part in modern European history. Despite the success of the Peace Process in the 1990s and subsequent stabilisation of the conflict through the introduction of power-sharing and paramilitary decommissioning of weapons, tensions still dominate the province. This thesis uses the Copenhagen School of Security Studies to investigate processes of
The building sector is one that can be accounted for numerous impacts on the environment, both by extremely high consumption of resources, and by emitting green house gases to the atmosphere on a large scale. Retrofitting existing buildings tackles energetic and emission related issues and one way to go about such projects is through the process of high-performance building certification, within w
In recent years, the Arctic has been one of the most dynamic environments on Earth. As a result, scientific inquiry into the region has produced a large amount of data, with future projections of the volume of data for the Arctic as well as the Antarctic expected to increase by an order of magnitude. On the receiving end of these data, a challenge remains as how to best manage, archive and distrib
Photoionisation dynamics occurring in Ar and N2O upon the absorption of soft X-ray radiation, have been studied through the extraction of the beta parameter from the angular distributions of Ar 2p 3/2 and N2O Nt 1s photoelectrons by a means of Velocity Map Imaging Spectroscopy. The results of beta determined in the dipole approximation for N2O at different photon energies, coincided with pre-docu
Abstract The current Standard Model cannot explain many properties of the neutrino, including its mass. Models exist where a postulated heavy Majorana neutrino will give rise to the observed small neutrino mass currently observed. This thesis presents a search for indications of Majorana neutrinos with focus on finding heavy neutrinos and W_R-bosons predicted by the Left-Right Symmetric Model. Pro
Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) infections are difficult to diagnose and treat, causing severe economic losses to farms with infected cows. Eurofins Milk Testing Sweden AB screens cow’s milk using qPCR (quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) to detect M. bovis infections. Five performance characteristics were chosen to evaluate if ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) could replace the current sc
Green bonds are facing prosperity in international and China’s bond market, and becoming increasingly important in the overarching aim of financing green projects to reduce environmental impacts. Therefore, the green degree is an important topic. Based on literature review and interviews, this study defined five key stakeholders in green bond market in China. The regulators are the primary drivin
Tetra Recart är en kartongbaserad förpackning som används för förvaring av olika livsmedel. Pappersförpackningen består av flera olika lager med olika funktioner för att skydda livsmedlet från den omgivande miljön och för att förlänga hållbarheten av produkten. Lagring av livsmedel med så kallade aggressiva egenskaper, så som höga saltkoncentrationer (>1%) och låga pH (< 4), har en påverkan på förTetra Recart is a paperboard-based package used for storing various kinds of food. The paperboard in Tetra Recart is covered with several layers having different functions to protect food from the environment as well as to extend the shelf life of a product. Storage of food with aggressive properties, such as high salt concentrations (> 1 %) in combination with low pH (< 4), has an impact on packa
The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann
Though the diffusion of electric vehicle (EV) is high on the global agenda, and there are efforts to speed up the shift: some countries intend to ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV), and some OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) have announced the goal of electrification, the diffusion of EV is slowly. Technological innovation theory explains that we need to harmonise tec
