Warehouses are critical nodes in a supply chain, providing a valuable interface between supply and demand. One aspect that warehouse operations struggle with is errors which, if not addressed, will impact the customers downstream from the warehouse. One of the ways to address errors in warehouses is through technology, such as automation of processes, though these are not always effective. A new t
Surface soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that plays a key role in ecosystems and the energy, water, and carbon cycles. SM can be accurately measured using in situ measurements. However, these measurements are globally not densely located over large areas, which would be required for accurate large-scale SM estimation due to the high spatial variability of SM. Instead, global atm
To mitigate climate change and reach Sweden’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, or at an earlier stage of 2030 for 23 Swedish cities, urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the building sector’s significant contribution to carbon emissions, a crucial aspect in achieving these goals is improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as most of these will

Amyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases. Aggregation of amyloid proteins is caused
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i urinblåsan är ett stort hälsoproblem i Sverige och världen. Det är den femte vanligaste cancerformen i Sverige och är den som belastar sjukvården med högst kostnader per patient. Ungefär tre fjärdedelar av de drabbade är män och patienterna är oftast kring 60-80 år gamla. Den behandling vi idag kan erbjuda en person som drabbas av blåscancer har inte förändratsDecisions in the treatment of bladder cancer today are based on clinical and pathological risk variables such as tumor stage and tumor grade. The importance of these conventional risk variables is well documented since more than 10 years, and they are used routinely in the clinics. Over the last ten years, cancer research has seen a gradual transition towards personalized medicine, i.e. the exploi
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
Purpose/Background Proton beam scanning (PBS) for mediastinal Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) is limited when treating in free-breathing (FB) due to breathing motion in the thoracic region. Tumour motion and the time structure of the beam delivery will cause interplay and dose blurring effects, resulting in discrepancies of dose in the planned dose distribution both inside and at the edges of tumour v
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that degrades articular cartilage and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Overweight has been considered a major risk factor of knee OA, and it is known that weight loss may reduce the risk of knee OA. The biomechanical mechanisms of how weight loss affects knee cartilage are however unknown. Evaluating the biomechanics of cartilage
Inom modern investeringsrätt existerar sedan länge en konflikt mellan extensiva investeringsskyddsregler och värdländers allmänna intressen, och numera med exklusiv kompetens att sluta de internationella investeringsavtal som tangerar denna motsättning söker EU skydda de senare genom traktatens utformning. Som nödvändigt komplement till sådana konstruktioner menar dock förespråkare för allmänna inAt the heart of modern investment law it has since long resided a conflict between extensive investment protection norms and public policy interests of host states. After receiving exclusive competence to conclude international investment agreements governing this interrelation, the EU has tried to cater for those latter objectives through the design of these agreements. Yet in addition to treaty
Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera förutsättningarna för att förbjuda förflyttningar av asylsökande inom det gällande Dublinsystemet, samt hur kompatibelt den europeiska kommissionens förslag för en Dublin IV Förordning är med mänskliga rättigheter. Dublinsystemet har till syfte att fördela skyldigheten att hantera asylansökningar mellan medlemsstaterna inom EU till en ansvarig medlemsstat. This thesis aims to analyse the prohibitions of transfers of asylum seekers in the Dublin System, and how compatible the Commission’s Proposal for a Dublin IV Regulation is with human rights law. The Dublin System is meant to allocate responsibility between Member States regarding asylum applications. After the responsible Member State has been decided according to certain criteria, the asylum see
In Reinforcement learning the updating of the value functions determines the information spreading across the state/state-action space which condenses the valuebased control policy. It is important to have an information propagation across the value domain in a manner that is effective. Two common ways to update the value function is Monte-Carlo updating and temporal difference updating. They are
Innan ett aktiebolag går i konkurs är det inte ovanligt att en större överföring görs, exempelvis till aktieägare. Aktiebolagslagen innehåller regler som kan användas mot bolag som företar illojala transaktioner mot borgenärer. En återbäringstalan av olovlig värdeöverföring är ofta komplex och ekonomiskt tung då omfattande utredningar av bolaget krävs. Konkurslagens återvinningsregler, framföralltBefore a public company goes bankrupt, it is not uncommon that a large transfer is made, for example, to the shareholders. The Limited Company Act i.a. Company Act contains rules that can be used against companies who undertake unlawful transactions from their creditors. A repayment claim of an unlawful transfer is often complex and economically heavy, because major investigations of the company n

Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. This study intends to assess the using bio-based materials instead of fossil-based materials for the thermal insulation layer of the external walls and roofs. Another focus of this project is using green conc
Molnens roll i klimatsystemet har studerats och deras påverkan på solens inverkan på jordens energibalans. Jordens albedo påverkar energibalansen genom att den påverkar hur mycket av solens instrålning som reflekteras eller absorberas. Moln påverkar jordens albedo och spelar därför en viktig roll i denna balans. Molnbildning sker till nära 100% i troposfären och där finns allt det vi kallar väder.The role of clouds in the climate system has been studied and their impact on the Sun's impact on the Earth's energy balance. The Earth's albedo affects the energy balance by influencing how much of the Sun’s radiation is reflected or absorbed. Clouds affect the Earth's albedo and therefore play an important role in this balance. Cloud formation occurs almost 100% in the tropospher
