Information was gathered from literature and interviews with industry players. The results from the different sources were initially presented separately and later compiled to demonstrate what they in
Den europeiska gemenskapen inom försvars-och säkerhetsfrågor rör sig allt mer ifrån transnationellt samarbete mot federal integration. Parallellt med denna utveckling identifieras på EU-nivå i dagsläget dessutom en rad nya säkerhetspolitiska utmaningar som både unionen och medlemsstaterna till stor del är överens om att hantera gemensamt. Likväl förekommer också att krav ställs på mer nationellt sThe European Community in the fields of defence and security is at large moving further and further from transnational cooperation towards federal integration. In line with this development, a number of new security policy challenges have today been identified at EU level and both the EU and a majority of its member states agree that they need to be addressed jointly. Nevertheless, demands from me

De Jure Belli ac Pacis Libris Tres, av Hugo Grotius, och den westfaliska freden, i 1600-talets Europa, har ofta betonats av forskare som födelseplatsen för den moderna folkrätten. Denna studie har ämnat granska validiteten i dessa påståenden genom en rättshistorisk undersökning av omständigheterna kring texterna och en komparativ utredning dem emellan. Arbetets huvudsakliga syfte har varit att utfDe Jure Belli ac Pacis Libris Tres, by Hugo Grotius, and the Peace of Westphalia, in 17th century Europe, has often been highlighted as the birthplace of modern public international law. This study aims to review the validity of such statements through research of the legal history concerning the topic and through a comparative examination of the two works. The main purpose of the study have been
The cell phone industry is one of the most linear sectors, which means high resource consumption in the production of telephones and difficulties in repair. In addition, only 10-12% take-back of used units takes place, the rest are often forgotten in drawers or handled incorrectly. An interesting area of research is how companies can make their choices to reduce the life cycle environmental impact

There is always a need to improve and develop new ways of estimating effective doses to people and environments that have been exposed to ionizing radiation. Dose monitoring is also important in hospitals and the nuclear industry. Today there are several commercially available dosimeters, the most common being thermoluminescent dosimeters, TLDs, made from LiF. These are widely used for personal do
Den föreliggande studien grundades på tidigare forskning som funnit samband mellan email-användande och stressrelaterade sjukdomar, såsom utbrändhet och emotionell utmattning, samt en ökad daglig stress. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan email overload, copingstrategier och upplevd stress. Vidare frågeställningar som studien baserades på var ifall det finns ett sThe present study was based on previous research that has found connections between email usage and stress-related diseases, such as burnout and emotional exhaustion, as well as an increased daily stress. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there is a connection between email overload, coping strategies and percieved stress. Further issues on which the study was based was if there
Byggsektorn står idag för 40 % av energianvändningen i EU samtidigt som 36 % av växthusgasutsläppen i EU kommer från byggnader. Att förbättra byggnaders energiprestanda är av stor vikt för att uppnå nationella och internationella klimatmål. Ett viktigt redskap för att förutspå en byggnads energiprestanda är energimodellering. Att kunna göra energiberäkningar med hög noggrannhet i tidigt skede ger The building sector is responsible for 40 % of the energy use in the EU today and improving the energy performance of buildings is essential to fulfill the national and international climate agreements. One important tool used in energy performance predictions is modeling. The aim of this study is to evaluate how precise an energy calculation can be and what factors influence the performance gap b
Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes
Att beröva en annan människa livet är ett av de grymmaste och mest förödande brotten som en människa kan begå. Det berövar en människa den mest grundläggande mänskliga rättigheten – rätten till liv. Ett sådant brott ska bemötas med ett hårt straff. Denna uppsats syftar till att redogöra för hur livstidsstraffets tillämpning i Sverige har förändrats under de senaste åren pga. flera betydande ändrinDepriving another human life is one of the cruelest and most devastating crimes that a human being can commit. It denies a human being the most fundamental human right – the right to life. Such a crime must be dealt with a severe penalty. The purpose of this thesis is to describe how the application of the life sentence in Sweden has changed over the past years because of several significant amend
Inspirationen till förevarande arbete kommer från de EU-rättsliga organens ambivalens kring det förestående direktivförslaget, ”Förslag till Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv om upphovsrätt på den digitala inre marknaden” som röstades igenom i EU-parlamentet i september 2018. Direktivförslaget innehåller en artikel som reglerar ansvaret för stora plattformsleverantörer som lagrar och tillgängThe inspiration to this study was brought on by the indecisiveness in EU agencies in regards of the legal proposal, “Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on copyright in the Digital Single Market” that was voted through in the EU-parliament in September 2018. The proposal includes an article, article 13, that aims to regulate the responsibility of the providers of
The RF power amplifier is one of the most critical blocks of transceivers, as it is expected to provide a suitable output power with high gain, efficiency and linearity. In this paper, a 60-GHz power amplifier based on an injection locked structure is demonstrated in a standard 65 CMOS technology. The PA core consists of a cross-coupled pair of NMOS transistors with an NMOS current source. This st
With the increase of devices connected to 5G services, the importance of tuning User Equipment (UE) to their assigned frequency slot becomes increasingly vital. This paper approached this issue by securing the control signals sent through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) in digital beamforming radios. This was done by securing three distinct components: the transmitting end of the channel, the
Water markets in China have received ample scholarly attention, but less is known about the political, ideological, and international influences that shaped their evolution. Using institutional analysis and a power-centered approach, we trace three Australian-funded projects (2005–2019) alongside domestic policy shifts to analyze how market ideas were institutionalized. We show how policy entrepre
We report on the commissioning of an ultrafast timing diagnostic for measuring a time-offset signal between two different synchronized ultrashort light pulses. The method is based on sum-frequency generation in a nonlinear crystal. The setup is similar to an auto/cross-correlator setup. In this case, one of the beams is a relatively weak diagnostic beam of visible light from a bending magnet at Fe
