Cities around the world are facing a multitude of urban challenges that demand that they change the way they plan and think about their city, with one of the ways of approaching sustainability being the Smart city. A core feature of the Smart city is the idea of collecting large quantities of data on the city, big data, which is then used in various city solutions. In the wake of this, several que
This study estimates the responsiveness of Official development assistance (ODA) to aid recipient countries’ needs, human rights, and governance. To attain the objective the author forms a multiple linear regression model where net ODA per capita is the dependent variable and GDP per capita, infant mortality rate, adult literacy rate, civil liberties and government effectiveness are the explanator
The thesis undertakes an analysis of the current tension between patents law obligations under TRIPS Agreement and human rights, specifically in the context of how the TRIPS Agreement influences health innovation and access to medicines in Brazil. Following a general overview of the interaction between human rights and patent law within the WTO, the central aim is based on the empirical analysis o
Med ofta stora summor involverade i ärenden relaterade till osäkra hamnar är det av stort intresse för både redaren och befraktaren att etablera deras respektive risk de har under en resa. Den här uppsatsen behandlar relationen mellan redaren och befraktaren då redaren har åsamkats skada på grund av en osäker hamn. Frågan är till vilken grad det är möjligt att hålla befraktaren ansvarig för en såWith often large amounts involved, the issue of unsafe ports is of great interest for both the shipowner and the charterer in order to establish what kind of risk they would bear under a voyage. This thesis deals with the relationship between the shipowner and the charterer when the shipowner has suffered a loss due to an unsafe port. The question is to what extent it is possible to hold the char
Uppsatsen syftar till att jämföra hur tolkningen av targeting-reglerna inom den humanitära rätten skiljer sig åt mellan Sverige och USA. Uppsatsen fokuserar på grunderna inom targeting, dvs. distinktions- och proportionalitetsprincipen, och avser att åskådliggöra den amerikanska och svenska synen på vad som utgör ett lagligt mål och hur ett sådant mål attackeras på ett lagligt vis. En komparativThe purpose of the thesis is to compare how the interpretation of the law of targeting differs between the United States and Sweden. The thesis is focused on the basis of the law of targeting, i.e. the principles of distinction and proportionality, and answers the questions of what the view of the United States and Sweden is regarding what constitutes a lawful target and how to lawfully attack suc
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been used by organizations and companies the world throughout since 1990. Many universities have recently replaced their legacy systems with ERP systems to improve work efficiency. One solution available for universities by way of management information system is the Campus ERP system. The Campus ERP system helps universities incorporate all departme

Two novel tetradentate ligands N, N’-Dimethyl-N, N’-bis(2-(chloromethyl)-1-methylbenzimidazole)- ethane-1,2-diamine (mepL), (-)-2-(((S)-2-((S)-1-(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl) pyrrolidin-2-yl) pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)benzimidazole (PDPL) and their iron complexes [Fe(mepL)(CH3CN)2](SbF6)2 (SbF62), [Fe(CF3SO3)2(PDPL)] (OTf1) and [Fe(PDPL) (CH3CN)2](SbF6)2 (SbF61) were synthesized and characterized with IR
The design of a policy based on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle can involve one or several Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) as well as various degree of involvement on the part of municipalities. The thesis is analysing the implications of different choices regarding these two aspects in light of the experiences with EPR systems for household packaging in three Eur
Living in a world, where constantly growing energy consumption and climate change are issues of increasing concern, it is necessary to decrease fossil fuel consumption and promote more sustainable ways of gaining energy, such as renewables (IPCC, 2007). Poland as a member of the European Union was obliged to comply with European policies and increase its share of renewable energy by 2020. However,
The aim of this master thesis has been to develop a Blocking device that makes sure that a Spring parking brake is not unintentionally activated after a manual release. There is also a need for developing a new Piston indicator that should give two signals depending on if the Spring parking brake is active or inactive. Both are supposed to fit with a completely new generation of Spring parking bra
Phylogenetic relationships of the family Lobariaceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota) were reconstructed using direct optimization of nuclear ITS and LSU, and mitochondrial SSU rDNA sequences. Delimitations of the genera currently included in the family were investigated. Relationships of austral temperate taxa occurring in New Zealand, Australia and southern South America were studied in detail. Fin
The use of duty-cycled ultralow-power wake-up receivers (WRxs) can significantly extend a node lifetime in low-power sensor network applications. In the WRx design, both the low-power operation of the WRx and the wake-up beacon (WB) detection performance are of importance. We present a system-level analysis of a duty-cycled WRx design, including an analog front end, a digital baseband, the WB stru
Thomas Mathiesen’s theories, his activism and his scholarship are needed, important and useful for contemporary researchers concerned with social change and social justice. At this moment in time, when strong social movements and abolitionism are back on the agenda, Mathiesen’s theories can not only be revitalised, but moved forward in the everlasting unfinished fashion. Mathiesen’s work might be
Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) have emerged as one of the key players in the field of heavy metal-contaminated environmental bioremediation. This study aimed to characterize and evaluate the metal biosorption potential of EPS produced by a novel Psychrobacillus strain, NEAU-3TGS, isolated from an iron ore deposit at Tamra iron mine, northern Tunisia. Genomic and pan-genomic analysis of NE
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for the development of ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE). Differences in surgical outcomes for UNE between patients with and without DM have been reported, but studies on presurgical management are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the presurgical management of UNE in patients with (DM diagnosis < 2 years of UNE diagnosis) and without DM regarding the level of
Background: The absence of Epithelial Membrane Protein 3 (EMP3) on red blood cells (RBCs) underlies the MAM-negative (MAM−) phenotype. EMP3 is a ubiquitous protein found at low levels in most tissues but with higher expression in hematopoietic cells. Low levels of CD44 are a signature of MAM− RBCs due its proposed physical interaction with EMP3, indicating that EMP3 stabilises CD44 in the membrane
Purpose: To explore whether previous participation in clinical studies increases adherence to management guidelines in acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD). Methods: This retrospective cohort study was designed to give a SNAPSHOT of the management of AUD at six hospitals, three of which had participated in the AVOD trial comparing antibiotic versus non-antibiotic treatment of AUD. Patients wit
In this study, we contribute to research on the history of entrepreneurshipeducation scholarship in the 1990s and early 2000s byfocusing on the Internationalizing Entrepreneurship Education andTraining Conference (IntEnt conference). Acknowledging the pioneeringinitiative of the IntEnt conference in a formative phase ofthe development of entrepreneurship as a teaching subject, ourstudy delves into
