The aim of this master’s thesis is to investigate the effect of copyright on the selection of pictorial material for digital access at cultural heritage institutions. We also look into the attitudes of cultural heritage workers towards copyright. We want to show what different attitudes exist among them and we hope to contribute to a changed view on copyright. What is made accessible on the intern
Remittances are getting wider attention in recent years because of the enormous increase in amounts. Remittances have already outshined the inflow of FDI, official development assistance, and portfolio flows for many developing countries. However there is no clear-cut understanding of its macro level importance to economic growth which arises because of shortage of study in the area. This study tr
The forms of water and their thermal stability in bedded salt are crucial in determining the material's suitability for heat-generating nuclear waste storage. Here we show first-of-its-kind incoherent inelastic neutron scattering (IINS) results of bedded salts to distinguish three water environments: intergranular water molecules confined to grain boundaries, water trapped as brine in fluid inclus
The dryer fabric influences the mass and heat transfer, separating the hot, moist paper from the ambient drying air. A dynamic model is presented describing this mass and heat transfer in a dryer fabric based on the fabric parameters: effective diffusivity, porosity, tortuosity, calliper, effective permeability, thermal conductivity and basis weight. The model predicts moisture, temperature and pr
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim was to explore any change in parents' time use together with their children, changes in their perceived occupational value, and its relationship to children's body mass index (BMI) over the course of a one-year occupation-focused family intervention. Method: The study sample consisted of participants in one arm of a randomized controlled trial, involving mothers and fat
This study quantified major fluxes of carbon (C), heat and water, including uncertainty estimates, in a boreal forest in northern Sweden, using a process-based model (Coup-Model) and Bayesian calibration methodology. Coupled C, water and heat fluxes were described together with estimated uncertainties for all major components of the simulated C budget. Simulated mean gross primary production was 6
Wireless relays extend coverage, improve spectral efficiency, and enhance reliability and rates of wireless cellular communication systems. In this work, we introduce the fundamental notion of asymmetric cooperation among cooperating relays in cellular downlinks - different relays are party to different but overlapping knowledge about the messages transmitted from the base station. We argue that a
Considering the urgency in uniformity and harmonization of existing law relating to carriage of goods by sea, the Comité Maritime International (CMI) initiated a joint project with UNCITRAL to achieve more uniformity and to replace the Hague, Hague-Visby and Hamburg Rules which are outdated by now and cannot fully satisfy the needs of modern multimodal transport. The result of this joint project b
The purpose of this study was to analyze two approaches to concepts of a just response to the atrocities of Democratic Kampuchea as they are presently operating in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia and in Khmer Buddhism. It assessed what Buddhism and the ECCC offer in answer to Cambodians’ justice needs and where both ways of conceiving justice overlap and diverge. The research
The aim of this thesis is to present issues related to cross-border taxation of employee stock options and critically inquiring whether the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court’s reasoning about comparable situations in the two rulings concerning taxation of stock options is supported by ECJ case law. On 4th of November 2015, the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden issued two rulings concerning
Inhaled pharmaceuticals are commonly used in the treatment of respiratory disease. This method of administration has many advantages but also poses a problem with particles being lost before reaching the target site. Particle deposition in airways is mainly an effect of inertial impaction, gravitational settling and diffusion. What mechanism influences a particle the most depends on the particle a
Colombia committed to reduce 20% of its emissions by 2030 in the framework of Paris Agreement. The study provides a systemic approach that considers the two main drivers of the emissions in the country to know how realistic is the mentioned intended National Determined Contribution (iNDC). It analyzes deforestation and road transport with a methodology that combines analyses of their current situa
