With biobased buildings making the transition into mainstream construction, the safety of their occupants needs to be adequately ensured, since the introduction of combustible building materials is bearing fundamental ramifications for fire safety strategies of such buildings. The present work introduces a research project on safe evacuation of timber buildings. More specifically, it targets to in
A distinctive representation of image patches in form of features is a key component of many computer vision and robotics tasks, such as image matching, image retrieval, and visual localization. State-of-the-art descriptors, from hand-crafted descriptors such as SIFT to learned ones such as HardNet, are usually high-dimensional; 128 dimensions or even more. The higher the dimensionality, the large
Laboratory mice are typically housed under extremely clean laboratory conditions, far removed from the natural lifestyle of a free-living mouse. There is a risk that this isolation from real-life conditions may lead to poor translatability and misinterpretation of results. We and others have shown that feral mice as well as laboratory mice exposed to naturalistic environments harbor a more diverse
I dagens informationssamhälle står den offentliga sektorn för några av de mest åtråvärda informationsmängderna. Denna offentliga information har ett uppskattat ekonomiskt värde inom EU på 140 miljarder euro per år, om den tillgängliggörs för vidareutnyttjande på internet. Samtidigt vidareutvecklas webbteknologier ständigt och nya möjligheter har skapats för att vidareutnyttja information som tros
The thesis is an attempt to analyse the concept of limitation of liability for maritime claims with multiple legal and policy perspectives. In trying to analyse the issues related to limitation of liability, the thesis explores the historical background to the development of the concept of limitation of liability within both civil and common law. A synoptic overview on the development of intern
This thesis work is a study and parameter optimization of a Raman system designed for explosives detection. The system, HLIN1, is a state-of-the-art prototype developed at the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). To achieve the highest possible detection efficiency of different amounts of explosives placed upon different background materials, it is investigated how various system parameters affe
Syftet med denna uppsats är att, med en rättsdogmatisk metod, utreda huruvida en styvförälder kan inta ställning som skyddsgarant för sina styvbarn och därigenom hållas ansvarig för ett oäkta underlåtenhetsbrott. En förutsättning för att en person ska kunna hållas straffrättsligt ansvarig för att genom underlåtenhet orsaka en viss effekt är att hen befinner sig i garantställning. Att en sådan stäl
Responsibility to protect, eller R2P, är en norm inom FN som uppstod som en reaktion på många av de inomstatliga konflikter som pågick världen över under 90-talet. FN:s misslyckande med att skydda de civila som drabbades av humanitära katastrofer visade på ett behov av förändring gällande möjligheten att ingripa i inomstatliga konflikter. 2001 utkom en rapport från den kommission, ICISS, som tilResponsibility to protect, or R2P, is a norm within the UN that emerged as a reaction towards the many intrastate conflicts that occurred around the world during the 90’s. The UN’s failure to protect civilians from humanitarian disasters displayed a need for change regarding the opportunity to intervene during these types of conflicts. In 2001 the commission, ICISS, founded under the authority of
In this study the concept of transboundary protected areas formally called peace parks have been analysed. Peace parks are created for the purpose to foster peace and cooperation between contesting states through conservation efforts in the form of international natural protection areas. The aim of the study is to find factors that can help explain why and how peace parks can be created. The peace
Results from the application of a new seismic technique for non-destructive testing of pavement layer moduli are presented. The method is based on the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) method and multichannel simulation with one receiver (MSOR). The MSOR method uses one accelerometer (receiver), a light hammer (source), and a single-channel recording device to generate a simulated mult
The honeybee gut microbiome is thought to be important for bee health, but the role of the individual members is poorly understood. Here, we present closed genomes and associated mobilomes of 102 Apilactobacillus kunkeei isolates obtained from the honey crop (foregut) of honeybees sampled from beehives in Helsingborg in the south of Sweden and from the islands Gotland and Åland in the Baltic Sea.
The article presents a semantic theory suggesting that equivalence and polyvalence are closely connected phenomena. The connection between them is utilised by making equivalence the basis of an argument for polyvalence within semantics, or in other terms, for a stratified semantics encompassing two levels of description. This argument from equivalence lends new support to frameworks assuming a str
Denna uppsats kommer att behandla den eventuellt slopade revisionsplikten för små aktiebolag. Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i svensk aktiebolagsrätt men ska även aktualisera revisionsfrågan ur ett europeiskt, danskt och engelskt perspektiv. Huvudfrågan i uppsatsen är varför vi i Sverige har valt att ha kvar revisionsplikten för små aktiebolag, då vi utgör en minoritet inom EU på just revisionspli
EU:s vattendirektiv har generellt medfört förändringar på hur EU:s medlemsländer bedriver miljökontroll. Direktivet ställer bland annat krav på upprättandet av miljökvalitetsnormer för ländernas vattenförekomster och krav på uppnående av olika miljöstatus. Direktivet presenterar listor med uppräknade ämnen som anses så miljöstörande att de riskerar att hindra uppnåendet av dessa statusnivåer. Dire
The fragmentation rate function connects the fundamental drop breakup process with the resulting drop size distribution and is central to understanding or modeling emulsification processes. There is a large interest in being able to reliably measure it from an emulsification experiment, both for generating data for validating theoretical fragmentation rate function suggestions and as a tool for st
