If radar surveillance systems are installed near a wall, their radiation is reflected not only from moving objects but also from the wall. In this way, nonexisting socalled ghost targets can lead to false detections. This thesis exploits such ghost detections to infer the position and extension of a wall next to a radar sensor. This is done by geometric equations only and proves especially succe
This study examines price elasticity of demand for train travel along the Southern Main Line in Sweden, focusing on four specific routes: Malmö-Stockholm, Lund-Stockholm, Malmö-Linköping, and Linköping-Stockholm. Using sales data provided by Snälltåget for a period of 28 days in 2024, the research analyzes how ticket prices influence passenger numbers, applying econometric models such as log-log r
This thesis investigates buyer preferences in the procurement of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, which facilitates international cooperation through carbon markets. As ITMO markets are still in the early stages of development, uncertainties regarding regulatory frameworks, environmental integrity, and procurement strategies have eme
Introduction: Swimming ability provides many known benefits while a lack of ability can result in dire consequences including death. Swimming and water safety are taught in the Swedish school system and increase the likelihood of being able to save oneself and other. Immigrants miss some or all these lessons – a safety concern in addition to a social and integration challenge. The Swedish Lifesavi
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur EU-rätten har påverkat svenska arbetstagarorganisationers möjligheter att använda sig utav stridsåtgärder och vilka effekter denna påverkan kan ha på den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen. För det första måste det sägas att EU-domstolens genom Laval och Viking har gjort det svårare för arbetstagarorganisationer att vidta stridsåtgärder då domstolen ansett aThis thesis has the aim of investigating how EU-law has affected the legal position regarding Swedish trade union’s possibilities of undertaking industrial actions. It also aims at determining whether the influence of EU-law on the right to undertake industrial actions has had any effects on the Swedish model. According to CJEU’s judgements in Laval and Viking it must be said that the possibilit
This study aims to analyze the effects of competition on quality, efficiency, produced volume and gaming the system of specialized health care in Sweden, after implementation of the Freedom of Choice Act (LOV, Lagen om Vårdval). This is done by using data for specialized ophthalmology, which is a patient-elective diagnostic category. The motive behind the law, which established free entry for priv
This thesis will treat the subject of constrained statistical inference and will have its focus on isotonic regression, which is the problem of estimating functions that are assumed to be monotone. A characterisation of isotonic regression and a solution to this problem will be given. The PAVA algorithm to compute the isotonic regres- sion estimator will be introduced along with asymptotic distrib
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual people continue to face discrimination and persecution in their daily lives, often from both the state and their communities. Where states do not provide for the basic human rights and physical security of their lesbian, gay, and bisexual citizens, many such citizens would flee their countries of origin in search of refuge in more hospitable countries. If other countries
This paper deals with the disputable issue of the existence of Malthus’ Preventive Check in Chinese population. With the help of a newly established historical database (Demographic Database of Colonial Taiwan, DDCT), which currently including the individual level data regarding to the socio-demographic backgrounds of the registered population in fifteen townships in North and Western Taiwan, we t
This thesis examines a potential EU digital services tax under two aspects. Those are first, whether a sufficient legal basis is given for it within EU law and second, whether it would violate the EU’s duty to respect international law. To make the analysis more tangible it is based on the directive proposal for such a tax from 2018. In the first content part the concept of a digital services tax
The spread of multiuse landscape worldwide has drastically increased humanwildlife interactions and especially negative impacts of wildlife on human assets. Human-wildlife interactions threaten both biodiversity conservation and farmers’ livelihood, especially in low-income areas where farming practices are their main source of income. In Zimbabwe, wildlife damage to crops and livestock creates te
The thesis sets out to investigate the research question “Does subject certification affect student achievement in mathematics?” By using data from an international large-scale assessment of student skills, Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), the thesis uses student achievement scores in mathematics as the dependent variable in a series of multiple linear regression mode
Introduction: Dried blood spot sampling is an alternative way to conventional blood sampling that could potentially be a large benefit for certain patient groups. A good example is the transplanted patient group treated with the immunosuppressants everolimus and sirolimus. Background: The challenge is to develop a reliable quantification method based on this relatively novel sampling technique.
Studies of virus capsids opens up new opportunities to develop different kind of cargo systems, but also the understanding of the transportation and the releasing of different kinds of cargo molecules. Virus capsids is a protein shell of a virus that encapsulates different types of infecting nucleic acid sequences in their native forms. One of these capsids is the Hepatitis B virus capsid that in
Examining the relation between Swedish households’ debt, property price and interest rates are important when forming monetary policy implications. Several studies have examined the driving factors of household debt and property price, however the results are inconclusive. This thesis differs from previous research as it includes the variable interest to income ratio, instead of debt ratio, as the
Nature-based solutions (NbS) have proven effective in addressing urban sustainability challenges. This thesis focuses on bridging the gap in NbS short-term interventions, scale, and financial barriers. It examines the instrumentalization and implementation of successful long-term interventions from a policy and urban governance perspective, aiming to inspire cities and identify commonalities. The
The present thesis explores the requirement of the waiting period to grant family reunification to Third Country Nationals from the perspective of human rights law. It examines how this requirement, which currently forms a significant part of immigration policies within European member states, may impact TCNs' Right to family life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and EU
