Context. The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey that has collected, over a period of six years, spectra of ~105 stars. This survey provides not only the reduced spectra, but also the stellar parameters and abundances resulting from the analysis of the spectra. Aims. The GES dataflow is organised in 19 working groups. Working group 13 (WG13) is responsible for the spectral
The Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) has a significant impact on the efficiency of warehouse operations. We propose a multi-phase optimizer for the SLAP, where the quality of an assignment is based on distance estimates of future-forecasted order-picking. Candidate assignments are first sampled using a Markov Chain accept/reject method. Order-picking Traveling Salesman Problems (TSPs) ar
Next generation wireless systems have to be able to efficiently deal with fast fading environments in order to achieve high spectral efficiency. Using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems and exploiting receive diversity, their spectral efficiency can be greatly increased. Commonly, the channel is estimated via training symbols, before the data detection is carried out based on the previo
This contribution outlines an XML format for representation of differential-algebraic equations (DAE) models obtained from continuous time Modelica models and possibly also from other equation-based modeling languages. The purpose is to offer a standardized model exchange format which is based on the DAE formalism and which is neutral with respect to model usage. Many usages of models go beyond wh
We discuss four interconnected issues that we believe have hindered investigations into how language may affect thinking. These have had a tendency to reappear in the debate concerning linguistic relativity over the past decades, despite numerous empirical findings. The first is the claim that it is impossible to disentangle language from thought, making the question concerning "influence" pointle
The primary focus of this Master thesis is to study how industrial house building can be implemented during production of rental flats under the terms of public procurement. In order to determine a suitable working process as well as presenting a possible architectonic result of the process, a case study is carried through. A housing projekt is designed on a site i Malmö, where the commisioner is
Osteoporosis and low bone strength in older people may be due to low bone mass accrual or elevated age-related loss of bone mass. The mechanisms underlying loss of bone mass have long been subjected to research. However, research has only started in the last decade to focus on strategies to increase bone mass:the current opinion is that childhood and adolescence are critical periods for building u
Leadership can be expressed within the school system, managing the business and at home. Something that is essential and important in leadership research is the perception of male and female leaders/ managers. This essay addresses the question whether there are distinct differences between male and female leaders/ managers. This study is based on theories of leadership properties and leader styles
Uppsatsen behandlar barns rättsliga ställning i familjerättsliga mål, LVU-mål och asylmål. Arbetet syftar till att undersöka de likheter och skillnader som föreligger mellan dessa typer av processer. Det förekommer att barn kan vara inblandade hos flera myndigheter och domstolar samtidigt. Det kan handla om en vårdnadstvist mellan vårdnadshavarna i tingsrätten, samtidigt som det finns en begäran oThe essay deals with legal status of children in family law cases, LVU cases, and asylum cases. This work aims to investigate the similarities and differences that exist between these types of processes. It happens that a child may be involved with several governments and courts at the same time. This may involve a custody dispute between the legal guardians, in the district court, while there is
Vid revideringen av brottsbalken 1989 infördes det billighetsskäl i 29 kap. 5 § BrB som rätten utöver brottets straffvärde ska beakta vid straffmätningen. Omständigheterna som räknas upp i paragrafen är sådana som inträffat efter brottets genomförande eller som har med den tilltalades personliga omständigheter att göra. Rätten får, med stöd av billighetsskälen, döma till lindrigare straff än vad s
This thesis assesses two relatively new rule of law tools of two regional organisations in Europe – the European Union with the new EU Framework for strengthening the rule of law, and the Venice Commission with a new rule of law checklist, and puts them in relation with a concrete case. The rule of law is a principle worth safeguarding at any time, but its relevance increases as it is being questi
I denna uppsats bearbetas förhållandet kring regleringen i 22 kapitlet 2 § 3 stycket 2 meningen jordabalken, innefattande det för svenska fastigheter så kallade förbudet mot interregionala inteckningar. På grund av den stämpelskatt som enligt 24 § lagen (1984:404) om stämpelskatt vid inskrivningsmyndigheten påförs inteckningsinnehavaren vid nyregistrering av inteckning, utgör befintliga inteckningThe thesis deals with the conditions surrounding the regulation in chapter 22, section 2, paragraph 3, paragraph 2, land Code (Swe: jordabalken), including the prohibition on interregional mortgages for Swedish properties. Due to the stamp duty, that is charged to an additional mortgage holder pursuant to section 24 of the Stamp Tax Act (1984: 404; Swe: Lagen om stämpelskatt vid inskrivningsmyndig
The pressure on businesses to “give something back to society” has increased considerably in the last decades and concepts like Corporate Social Responsibility gained enormous populari-ty. While for many years companies have been distributing cash and goods to charity, attach-ing to the CSR agenda a philanthropic nuance, many companies have recently started to shift away from philanthropic giving
As engineering systems become more and more advanced, the need for collaboration and communication between dierent system areas increases. Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is a graphical modeling language developed to provide a modeling capability independent of the system area. In this thesis, a SysML model will be developed for a reverse osmosis water purication plant. The purpose of the model
Trafficking in human beings is a topic that has received a lot of attention the last ten years. It has been referred to as a modern form of slavery and a crime against humanity. There is a flood of actors working to fight trafficking and save its victims, occupied with different forms of victim assistance. At the same time the EU is augmenting restrictions on visas and asylum legislation, border c
When capturing digital video there is always some amount of noise in the resulting signal. This is more pronounced in low-light conditions. In this thesis we have evaluated five algorithms for motion detection and noise reduction. All algorithms produce a filtered image and a motion mask. One of the algorithms is based on block-matching, one on fuzzy logic and one on low-rank matrix completion. Th
Korruption är ett begrepp som inte har någon klar definition. Det är många vetenskaper som diskuterar korruption, dock görs detta med delvis olika synvinklar. Denna framställning visar att det finns många olika perspektiv att anlägga på korruptionsproblematiken, perspektiv som dessutom leder till olika slutsatser om problematikens orsaker och verkan. Fler tvärvetenskapliga perspektiv behövs, för aCorruption is a term that has no clear definition. There are many disciplines that discuss corruption, however, this is done with somewhat different perspectives. This essay shows multiple perspectives on corruption issues, perspectives which also lead to different conclusions about the causes and effects of corruption. More interdisciplinary perspectives are needed to be able to work against corr
For the last decades, molecular imprinting is developing intensively, especially in the case of the application of new imprinting techniques. In this work, for the first time, a Pickering emulsion polymerization was used to synthesize the S-naproxen-imprinted polymer spheres following a noncovalent protocol. To enhance the knowledge about imprinting process using mentioned technique, thorough anal
Measurements of the production cross section of a Z boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.16 fb- 1 collected by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2015. Inclusive and differential cross sections are measured for events containing a Z boson decaying to electrons or muons
Introduction: The interaction between different product policies will be crucial for the further advancement of a coherent product policy framework. The Commission has stated that ‘the complex and interlocking approach needed to build a resource-efficient Europe can only be achieved with a policy mix that optimizes synergies and addresses trade-offs between different areas and policies’. In the co
