This chapter aims to offer insights into the wider implications for the rule of law, including for the EU constitutional order, of the restrictions of migrants’ and asylum-seeker’ rights that follow from systematic noncompliance with the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) by certain Member States. In other words, has the migration and asylum crisis developed into an EU constitutional crisis? Th

Randomised controlled trials are increasingly conducted as embedded, nested, or using cohorts or routinely collected data, including registries, electronic health records, and administrative databases, to assess if participants are eligible for the trial and to facilitate recruitment, to deliver an embedded intervention, to collect trial outcome data, or a combination of these purposes. This repor

We present a compilation and analysis of 1099 Holocene relative shore-level (RSL) indicators located around the Baltic Sea including 867 relative sea-level data points and 232 data points from the Ancylus Lake and the following transitional phase. The spatial distribution covers the Baltic Sea and near-coastalareas fairly well, but some gaps remain mainly in Sweden. RSL data follow the standardize

The nexus between the environment, natural resources and (armed) violence has been researched since the end of the nineties, however major theoretical and empirical gaps still exists in research on the precise role of nature or the natural environment during post-conflict and/or peacebuilding, particularly in relation to those countries that have undergone internal armed conflict.This paper presen

The Whitham equation is a nonlocal shallow water-wave model which combines the quadratic nonlinearity of the KdV equation with the linear dispersion of the full water wave problem. Whitham conjectured the existence of a highest, cusped, traveling-wave solution, and his conjecture was recently verified in the periodic case by Ehrnström and Wahlén. In the present paper we prove it for solitary waves

This thesis focuses on the techniques involved in analysing the substructure of products resulting from the decay of new particles. These particles are postulated to exist in models used to describe undetectable matter whose influence can be observed within the cosmos. The models are termed 'Dark Sector models' and they attempt to describe Dark Matter; theorised to exist and account for ab

The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of the potential relationship between populism and a population’s search for security and belonging. Furthermore, how this is expressed through the rhetoric and policies of a country’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary, this is examined through conducting a qualitative content analysis. Here I use newspaper article

In this master thesis we consider some phenomenological aspects of two-Higgs-doublet models, both elementary and composite ones. The emphasis is on calculating and understanding first order phase transitions in such models, constrained to be in agreement with existing collider data on the Higgs sector. We also consider the contribution to the gravitational wave background of the universe that woul

Open data is broadly expected to generate innovation and economic value for both the public and private sector. Though the diffusion of open data has kept a fast pace, knowledge of visualisation and points of access of open data remains low. Moreover, literature of the private-sector application of open data is still scarce. The first objective of this thesis is to increase the knowledge about the

LDMX is a fixed target experiment designed to search for light dark matter. The experiment will search for dark matter signatures using missing momentum and energy in events with electrons scattering in the target. Part of the experimental setup in this search is a high granularity electromagnetic calorimeter to accurately measure the energies of recoil electrons. In this thesis artificial neura

A thermochromic ink is defined as an ink that exhibits colour changes depending on temperature. Thermochromic inks used in printing generally consist of an encapsulated three part system which includes a dye that changes colour, a compound that acts as a colour developer and a solvent. Due to the properties of the dye, the inks are always colourless above a certain temperature and coloured below a

Wildfires pose a serious threat to communities in different parts of the world, mostly in regions with a warmer climate. Due to the increased urbanization next to the forest and climate change, they are currently an issue to be addressed also in other parts of the world. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first step in the direction of creating a holistic Vulnerability Assessment Method (V

BvHb1.2 is a sugar beet haemoglobin (Hb) and a good candidate to be used as an artificial oxygen carrier (AOC). 19 mutants of BvHb1.2 were produced with random mutagenesis and expressed in BL-21 E. coli. The Hb content in whole cells was determined by using a refraction index modifier by mixing cell suspensions with 35% BSA. The two mutants (4 and 15) with the highest Hb production were purified u

There are high hopes in Greenland that the country will go from being a nation of fishermen to a nation of oil producers. But what do we really know about the prospects? Our thesis investigates how favourable the geological, economic and institutional conditions are for building a self-­sustaining economy in Greenland based on its hydrocarbon resources. The geological conclusions are encouraging.

Datering med accelerator? Måhända låter det otympligt, men när det handlar om att datera med hjälp av sällsynta slag av grundämnen kan varje atom räknas. Då handlar det om att kunna räkna enskilda atomer, vilket är möjligt med acceleratorbaserad masspektrometri, AMS. Lunds Universitet har en accelerator anpassad just för den här sortens mätningar, vilken främst nyttjas av institutionerna för fysiFor decades, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) has been used for radiocarbon dating. The background of this technique is outlined along with an in-depth look at the graphitization process used to prepare samples for AMS analysis. The technology necessary to achieve the vacuum quality needed in graphitization and accelerator mass spectrometry is discussed as well. The graphitization system belong

Reklam kan inte ses som en isolerad kommunikation mellan företag och konsumenter, den existerar i samtiden, i en kontext och i ett samhälle som låter sig påverkas av den. Vad som exponeras i det offentliga påverkar de uppfattningar och föreställning människor har om omvärlden i ett långsiktigt perspektiv. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och skapa förståelse för hur reklambyråer hanterar balans

The Euler equations consist of conservation laws and describe a fluid in motion without viscous forces and heat conduction. They are non-linear and the solutions are often discontinuous. Therefore proofs of convergence are hard to give and the existing results are lacking. A new concept are weakly imposed characteristic boundary conditions, where a priori given boundary data only enter the scheme
