Chaotic Properties of the Discretised Φ^4-potential

Partiklar i universum, också här på jorden, rör sig på grund av krafter som uppkommer ur egenskaper hos materien runt om oss. Föremål som fotbollar, löv och cyklister faller till marken på grund av gravitation, egenskapen att materia attraherar genom att ha en massa. Stålfjädrar kan dra ihop och trycka isär föremål på grund av krafter i materialet. Dessa krafter kommer ur potentialer som dikterar Research has been conducted on integrable, Newtonian systems by B. Söderberg amongst others. Scientists uses the Hamiltonian energy landscape to simulate such systems by discretising the continuum. Non-integrable systems, however, show chaotic properties, when the Hamiltonian is not conserved along phase space trajectories. Therefore, simulations may diverge over time. This thesis explores one par

Anonyma vittnen - Väger vinsten upp förlusten i rättssäkerhet?

På senare tid har ett flertal Europeiska länder infört möjligheten för vittnen att vittna anonymt. Röster höjs för att även Sverige ska införa anonyma vittnen. Dock finns starka intressen som menar att anonyma vittnen är oförenligt med rätten till en rättvis rättegång. Den här uppsatsen utreder systemet kring anonyma vittnen, motiveringen bakom varför Sverige historiskt har varit emot anonyma vittIn later years, a number of European contries have introduced the possibility for witnesses to appear in court as anonymous witnesses. Voices are now being raised in favour of Sweden doing the same. However, strong interests argue that anonymous witnesses are incompatible with the right to a fair trail. This thesis will investigate the system around anonymous witnesses, the motivation behind Swede

Incitament för investering i riskreduktion

Skydd av samhällsviktiga funktioner är en viktig del av riskhanteringsarbetet för samhället, och skyddet kan till exempel bestå av en god operativ förmåga, som minskar konsekvenserna av en kris. Men hur påverkas intresset hos en privat aktör att investera i operativ förmåga om någon annan ändå betalar notan? Och om aktören på förhand får information om hur stora konsekvenserna kommer bli, kommer bProtection of critical infrastructure is an important part of risk management for society. This protection could consist of investments in emergency management capability, which can act as a reduction of the consequences from an event. Estimations of the current emergency management capability level is called capability assessments. As for now, there is a skewed incentive structure for the respons
