Ensuring functional safety is crucial for the deployment of autonomous systems in real-life dynamic environments, as they must operate reliably and safely among humans. However, existing safety systems are designed with a closed-world assumption and can over-constrain the system by shutting down the robot at every safety violation, limiting the robot’s ability to complete its tasks. To address thi
Småvatten är trots sin ringa storlek ekologiskt betydelsefulla och fungerar som habitat för många arter. För groddjur spelar de en avgörande roll för fortplantningen eftersom småvatten används som lekmiljö. Populationer av groddjur minskar idag över hela världen och två av de största hoten mot groddjur är habitatförlust och habitatfragmentering. I Sverige har många småvatten försvunnit som en effeDespite their size, small ponds are ecologically important and act as a habitat for many species. For amphibians they play a significant role for reproduction given that ponds are used as breeding sites. At present amphibian populations are decreasing worldwide and two of the biggest threats they face are habitat destruction and habitat fragmentation. In Sweden many small ponds have disappeared ov
Medical care in Nepal is largely financed by the individual, and although insurance programs and subsidies exist, they are limited in coverage, amount of assistance provided, and level of enrollment. Medical needs that extend beyond basic health services, specifically following acute injury can lead to financial difficulties that may jeopardize the ability to maintain basic needs and can push peop
This thesis focuses on developing and characterizing novel models for studying osteoclasts with an emphasis on how mutations abolishing osteoclastic acidification affect osteoclast signaling and bone remodeling, as well as how to treat patients bearing these rare mutations. Bone remodeling is under normal circumstances a tightly balanced process where resorption of bone by osteoclasts is followed
Popular Abstract in Swedish Anpassningen av geofysiska metoder till infrastrukturtillämpningar är en viktig del i utvecklingen av geoteknisk förundersökningsmetodik. Det som här benämns geotekniska förundersökningar hänvisar till alla undersökningar som görs före eller under konstruktion, alltså sådana som syftar till att stödja och förbättra en konceptuell geologisk modell så väl som sådana som sThe adaptation of geophysical methods for civil engineering purposes represents an important contribution to the development of geotechnical site investigation methodology. The term geotechnical site investigation here refers to all investigations performed prior to or during construction; i.e. investigations to support and refine a conceptual geological model as well as to provide a model of geot
The Montreal Protocol is working. Concentrations of major ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere are now decreasing, and the decline in total column amounts seen in the 1980s and 1990s at mid-latitudes has not continued. In polar regions, there is much greater natural variability. Each spring, large ozone holes continue to occur in Antarctica and less severe regions of depleted ozone continu
Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles are cross-linked polymer colloids containing tailor-made molecular recognition sites. In this study, molecularly imprinted nanoparticles were easily encapsulated within polymer nanofibers using an electrospinning technique to produce a new type of molecular recognition material. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was used as the supporting nanofibers matrix to e
Southernmost Patagonia, located at the relatively narrow passage between Antarctica and South America, is a highly sensitive region for recording meridional and zonal changes in the pattern of oceanic and atmospheric circulation. The island of Isla de los Estados, situated at 54.5 degrees S, 64 degrees W, east of Argentinean Tierra del Fuego, provides an exceptional possibility, to investigate ter
Näthat är ett fenomen som uppstått efter internets utbredning i samhället. I Sverige har det dock inte upprättats en speciallagstiftning utan den äldre lagstiftningen i brottsbalken är den som appliceras på näthatsbrotten. Ärekränkningsbrotten förtal och förolämpning, vilka regleras i brottsbalken, har inom ramen för näthat kanske blivit mera aktuella än någonsin. I den här uppsatsen utreds den Cyber hatred is a phenomenon that has occurred after the expansion of the internet in modern society. In Sweden there is not a special law regarding cyber hatred. You must rely on the old legislation in the Swedish penal code. Defaming crimes, such as slander and insults, which are regulated in the Swedish penal code have been more common these days. The essay aims to find out the regarding law o
Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en rättsdogmatisk metod och ett kritiskt perspektiv granska huruvida innehållet i termen barnets bästa förhåller sig till brottsofferbegreppet i svensk rätt. Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om en inkorporering av barnkonventionen är motiverad med hänsyn till barnets rätt att komma till tals i situationer där barn bevittnar våld mot närstående. Frågan om barn som bevittThe purpose of the essay is through a legal dogmatic method and a critically perspective examine whether the content of the term child’s best interests relate to the victim of crime concept in Swedish applicable law. The essay handle the question whether an incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is motivated given the child’s right to be heard in situations when the child wi
In recent decades, working with computers has evolved from a specialized area to a requirement at most workplaces. Information systems also change regularly and employees have to adapt to new computer systems. However all individuals do not like computer work and the concept of computer anxiety describes human attitudes to computers. This study examined how computer anxiety is influenced by an inf
This thesis explores the relationship between news media and trust from the perspective of the individual audience member using the term “fake news” to do so. This thesis set out to understand how audiences were engaging with and defining the term “fake news” in our contemporary media environment and if and how this was affecting their overall engagement with news media. To do so, the study used a
This paper studies volatility prediction on OMX Stockholm 30, OMX Helsinki 25 and OMX Nordic 40. The models used are a historical variance model, an exponentially weighted moving average model and three models from the GARCH family. These are GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR(1,1), with normal and t-distribution respectively. The volatility for 2008-2013 is forecasted with a rolling window technique
The government of Finland has the ambition of making Finland the first fossil-free welfare state in the world and reaching carbon neutrality in 2035. Simultaneously, worktime reduction and basic income have been matters of vivid political debate. Both worktime reduction and basic income are go-to solutions for post-growth scholars as ways to arrange welfare in a non-growing economy. These initiati
På nittiotalet såg lagstiftaren att en ökad arbetstakt ledde till mer riskfyllda arbetsplatser. Lagstiftaren ansåg att den ökade specialiseringen innebar att det inte fanns fullständiga kunskaper om vilka risker arbetarna utsattes för. För att öka tryggheten för arbetarna infördes arbetsmiljöbrotten i brottsbalken. Detta skulle leda till en ökad kunskap inom rättsväsendet. Lagstiftaren ville öka rIn the 1990’s, the legislative power witnessed an increased pace in the work environment, and consequently also an enhanced risk for occupational injuries. Moreover, further specialization had resulted in a lack of knowledge concerning the risks that the workers were exposed to in the workplace. With the intent of increasing the safety for workers in their occupations, violations of the Work Envir
Genom bestämmelser i rättegångsbalken har domaren vid en svensk domstol ålagts en skyldighet att i dispositiva tvistemål bedriva materiell processledning i syfte att skapa så goda förutsättningar som möjligt för en effektiv, materiellt korrekt och billig rättegång. Hur långt denna skyldighet sträcker sig och hur den ska utövas tillhör ett av de mest debatterade områdena inom svensk processrätt. PrThrough provisions in the Swedish code of judicial procedure, a judge in a Swedish court has been imposed an obligation to conduct substantive direction of proceedings in cases amendable to out-of-court settlement in order to create as good conditions as possible for an efficient, materially correct and inexpensive judicial process. How far this obligation extends and how it is to be conducted is
