Genom digitaliseringen har nya skapandeformer introducerats. Sampling är en teknik som innebär att på musikområdet använda, spela in eller kopiera delar av verk för att använda dessa inslag i nya sammanhang. Denna skapandeform väcker intressanta frågeställningar om under vilka omständigheter ett sådant vidareutnyttjande kräver tillstånd från rättighetsägaren. Frågan är mer komplex än vad som kan uThrough the digitalization, new ways of creating music have been introduced. Sampling is one technique where parts of a musical work is used, taped or copied in order to be applied into new contexts. This method give rise to several interesting questions concerning under what circumstances such use demands a permission from the copyright owner. This specific issue is far more complex than one coul

As passive investing has grown in popularity, the number of available passive investment strategies have risen as well. This paper strives to investigate one of these investment strategies, namely fundamental indexation. More specifically, the aim of this study is to investigate if fundamental indices are more mean-variance efficient compared to capitalization-weighted indices. Given that the supe

The findings benefit stakeholders including businesses, policymakers, professionals, investors, and consumers. Theoretical Perspective: This study’s theoretical framework was developed through an exploration of eco-in

På Siciliens östkust strax söder om Syrakusa, ligger ett långsmalt naturområde som följer kusten längs halvön Maddalenas sydspets ut till udden Capo Murro di Porco. Det är en obebyggd kustremsa sånär som på en fyrbyggnad med två angränsande stenhus. Naturen domineras av det klippiga landskapet och de tre byggnaderna som kommit att smälta in i omgivningen. I detta arbete, som är en fallstudie som Capo Murro di Porco is situated in a narrow natural area that runs along the coast of the peninsula of Maddalena, just south of Syracuse on the east coast of Sicily. It is an area of stunning nature with dramatic topography, steep cliff sides and sparse vegetation. On the very line marking the transition from low vegetation to bare rock on the horn of the peninsula, a lighthouse and two rugged low

En följd av den nya lagen (2014:307) om straff för penningtvättsbrott har varit att ett flertal myndigheter, i diverse rapporter, riktat kritik mot att det råder brist på rättspraxis avseende straffvärdebedömningar i mål om penningtvättsbrott. Utöver dessa myndighetspublikationer är litteraturen om den straffrättsliga regleringen av penningtvättsbrott knapphändig. Det har därför varit av intresse The novel Act regarding penalties for money laundering offences (2014:307) has been criticized by a number of authorities. This, due to the fact that judicial precedent about penal assessment in cases of money laundering offence is scarce. Furthermore, there is a lack of evidence in the literature concerning the new legislation. Therefore, it has been interesting as a part of my essay to study how

På Lunds Tekniska Högskola studenter som studerar på programmet Civilingenjör inom Kemiteknik en obligatorisk kurs Energiteknik KETF30. Kursen har ett laborationsmoment om värmeväxling som behöver förnyas. Målet med kandidatarbetet är att få fram en laborationsbeskrivning med fokus på värmeväxlarens beteende beroende på olika parametrar och jämföra de två metoder som kan användas för att beskriva At Lund University, students in the program Chemical engineering have a compulsory course Heat Engineering (Energiteknik KETF30). The course has a laboratory practical concerning heat exchanger that needs to be renewed. The goal of this bachelor thesis was to write a description for the practical, focusing on the heat exchanger’s behavior considering different parameters and comparing the who comm

Problem Statement: The project started with a request from IKEA to contribute more to the environment. The task for this project, issued by IKEA, was to create a concept for a free-standing indoor storage unit for recyclable waste. The unit should hold at least seven different types of waste: cardboard, plastic, paper, metal, glass, deposit waste and some smaller hazardous waste, such as batteries

Alla naturligt förekommande grundämnen, med få undantag, har skapats i stjärnors inre. Några av dem har skapats långsamt och kontinuerligt och stora mängder har ansamlats under årmiljonerna. Andra har skapats under några få sekunder i några av de mest våldsamma explosionerna i universum, nämligen de s.k. supernovorna. Genom att studera dessa processers avtryck, kan vi fördjupa vår kunskap om, t.exSulphur is one of the more interesting chemical elements from a scientific perspective. As a volatile element, sulphur could potentially be used as a tracer of galactic properties, such as star-formation rate and initial mass function, in both the Milky Way and beyond. But first its origin and production has to be understood. Knowledge of Galactic chemical evolution of sulphur is therefore vital.

While many studies have examined carbon dynamics of boreal ecosystems following wildfire, research on forest-atmosphere carbon fluxes during widespread smoke events from adjacent active wildfires is limited. We examined eddy covariance carbon exchange adjacent to the May 2011 Utikuma Complex wildfire in central Alberta, Canada. Over a one-week period while the wildfire was burning <10 km from the

Birds migrate across the globe on their wings, a behavioural adaptation that allows birds to exploit seasonal environments. Their migrations are ultimately influenced by their ability to fly, a costly but high energy-efficient mode of locomotion that enables birds to travel far distances in a short amount of time. This thesis investigates bird migration from a flight energetic perspective, focusin

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 224 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder, samt korttidstrender för 13 arter av större däggdjur. Fåglarna har räknats höst, vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan 1996) men täcker We present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, a project run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2023 include data from: 517 winter point counts in 2022/2023 (48th winter), of which 243 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 181 summer point count routes (49t

The commercial availability of low-cost millimeterwave (mmWave) communication and radar devices is starting to improve the adoption of such technologies in consumer markets, paving the way for large-scale and dense deployments in fifthgeneration (5G)-and-beyond as well as 6G networks. At the same time, pervasive mmWave access will enable device localization and device-free sensing with unprecedent

Background and Aims: Substance use disorder (SUD) is related to widespread adverse consequences, including higher suicidality. Shared genetic liability has been demonstrated between SUD and suicidality. Here, we measured the factors that contribute to increased risk of non-fatal suicide attempt among individuals with SUD by focusing upon aggregate genetic risks and both childhood and past-year env

Tumor growth rate estimations can provide useful information about tumor progression and aggressiveness. Understanding the breast cancer progression and aggressiveness could aid with personalized screening/follow-up, treatment options, and prognosis. This paper reports a preliminary estimation of the tumor volume doubling time (TVDT) for cancers detected during the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Scree

Advances in understanding how cancer cells interact with the immune system allowed the development of immunotherapeutic strategies, harnessing patients’ immune system to fight cancer. Dendritic cell-based vaccines are being explored to reactivate anti-tumor adaptive immunity. Immune checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR T) were however the main approaches that catapulted

Anthropogenic changes to the environment expose wildlife to many pollutants. Among these, tropospheric ozone is of global concern and a highly potent pro-oxidant. In addition, human activities include several other implications for wildlife, e.g., changed food availability and changed distribution of pathogens in cities. These co-occurring habitat changes may interact, thereby modulating the physi

Background: Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a life-threatening disease where early diagnosis is critical to avoid morbidity and mortality from extensive irreversible bowel necrosis. Appropriate prediction of presence of bowel necrosis is currently not available but would help to choose the optimal method of treatment. The study aims to identify combinations of biomarkers that can reliably iden

With the increased occurrence of climate extremes, there is an urgent need to better understand how management strategies affect the capacity of the soil microbial community to maintain its ecosystem functions (e.g. nutrient cycling). To address this issue, intact monoliths were extracted from conventional and ecological managed grasslands in three countries across Europe and exposed under common

This thesis focuses on the validation and description of the Gumbel distribution. Since this is a scale and location parameter distribution, the generalized least squares regression of the order statistics on the expected values can be used, without the necessity of iteration, to obtain the best linear unbiased estimates of the parameters. In order to implement this procedure, we need informatio
