The recently discovered giant exoplanet HR5183b exists on a wide, highly eccentric orbit (a = 18 au, e = 0.84). Its host star possesses a common proper-motion companion which is likely on a bound orbit. In this paper, we explore scenarios for the excitation of the eccentricity of the planet in binary systems such as this, considering planet-planet scattering, Lidov-Kozai cycles from the binary act

Objective: Both auditory and visual hypersensitivity are clinical features of mental fatigue after acquired brain damage or in neurological disorders. Both types of hypersensitivity are also associated with attention deficits, especially in neurodevelopmental syndromes. The aim of this study was to examine auditory and visual hypersensitivity, and associations to attention, in a group of children

The dynamical evolution of globular clusters (GCs) is tied to their binary population, as binaries segregate to the cluster centre, leading to an increased binary fraction in the core. This central overabundance of mainly hard binaries can serve as a source of energy for the cluster and has a significant effect on the observed kinematics, such as artificially increasing the observed line-of-sight

We use direct N-body simulations to explore some possible scenarios for the future evolution of two massive clusters observed towards the centre of NGC 4654, a spiral galaxy with mass similar to that of the Milky Way. Using archival HST data, we obtain the photometric masses of the two clusters, M = 3 × 105 M= and M = 1.7 × 106 M=, their half-light radii, Reff ∼4 pc and Reff ∼6 pc, and their proje

Cities, and more importantly urban neighborhoods, are key sites of infrastructure provision with direct links to social and environmental concerns. They are increasingly seen as sites of strategic action in transitions toward sustainability and resilience, and offer big opportunities for fundamental societal change. The framing of neighborhood-level problems and their solutions, governance process

The analysis of surface wave dispersion curves is a way to infer the vertical distribution of shear wave velocity. The range of applicability is extremely wide: going, for example, from seismological studies to geotechnical characterizations and exploration geophysics. However, the inversion of the dispersion curves is severely ill-posed and only limited efforts have been put in the development of

Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2012/13/EU om rätten till information vid straffrättsliga förfaranden utgör en del i en färdplan inom EU att förstärka rättighetsskyddet för misstänkta personer i brottmålsförfaranden. Artikel 7.1 i direktivet införlivades med svensk rätt den 1 juni 2014 genom införandet av 24 kap. 9 a § rättegångsbalken. Enligt artikel 7.1 i direktivet ska den som frihetsberDirective 2012/13/EU on the right to information in criminal proceedings (the Directive) is part of a road map within EU to strengthen the protection of rights of suspects in criminal proceedings. Article 7.1 of the Directive was implemented in Swedish procedural legislation on June 1st 2014 through a new statutory provision in the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, 24 kap. 9 a §. According to Ar

Förorenar Arktiska samhällen sig själva och påverkas marina organismer i samband med detta? Ja, bara i Adventfjorden och Grønfjorden på Svalbard finns förorening från lokala källor för 14 av 57 analyserade flamskydds- och ytbehandlingsämnen i sediment. Inte så mycket tänker kanske du? Men den största anledningen till förekomsten av dessa ämnen är utsläpp av orenat avloppsvatten och läckage från sMost of the ecotoxicological research conducted in the Arctic until today has focused on long range transport of pollutants, while fewer studies on local pollution have been published. The aim of this study was hence to investigate if local pollution of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) occurs outside tw

Abstract During this study we interviewed five young women who have faced growing up in homes with problems such as substance abusing parents, parents with psychological illnesses and violence. The purpose of this paper is to study these five young women’s experiences of participating in a support group for children and teenagers. Due to our purpose we asked ourselves three questions 1. How did th

Nordatlantiska Oscillationen (NAO) är ett atmosfäriskt cirkulationsfenomen som kännetecknas av skillnader i havsnivåtryck mellan högtrycksområdet vid Azorerna och lågtrycksområdet över Island. NAO varierar mellan en positiv och negativ fas beroende på hur väl utvecklade dessa högtrycksområden är. NAO har visat sig ha stor påverkan på vinterklimatet på norra halvklotet eftersom den påverkar temperaThe North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is an atmospheric circulation phenomenon, characterized by differences in sea level pressure between the Azores high- and the Icelandic low pressure systems. The NAO fluc-tuates between a positive and a negative phase depending on how well developed these pressure systems are. The NAO has a great impact on northern hemisphere winter climate since it affects tem

I Östkinesiska havet finns en avlägset belägen ögrupp bestående av fem öar och tre karga klippor. Ögruppen utgörs av en nödtorftig vegetation och det förefaller inte finnas något sötvatten. På grund av ögruppens ogästvänliga egenskaper har öarna genom historien ansetts vara av mycket litet ekonomiskt värde och de har sedan urminnes tider, bortsett från en kortare period i början av 1900-talet, varSituated in the East China Sea lays a remotely located island group consisting of five small islands and three barren rocks. The islands sustain scarce vegetation and there’s most likely no fresh water on the islands. Due to their inhospitable character, the islands have historically been considered to be of little economic value and they have since ancient times, apart from a short period during

I den så kallade Snippadomen frikände Hovrätten för Västra Sverige den tilltalade från åtal om våldtäkt mot barn då målsägandens ordanvändning, bestående i ordet ”snippa”, inte ansågs ge stöd för att en penetration av målsägandens underliv ägt rum. Hovrätten hade inte diskuterat ordets betydelse med parterna under huvudförhandlingen, utan förlitade sig i slutändan på en ordboksdefinition för att uIn the so-called Snippa verdict, the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden acquitted the defendant of the charge of child rape, due to the judges’ uncertainty of the victim’s use of the word “snippa”. The Court of Appeal had not discussed the meaning of the word with the parties during the trial and ultimately relied on a dictionary definition to determine the meaning of the word, which did not suppo

This essay aims to analyze the depiction of an ideal soldier in order to research whether these depictions perpetuate values and ideals found in the theoretical framework of militarized masculinity and the logic of masculinist protection. The selected material consists of official documents from both the Swedish Armed Forces as well as the United States Armed Forces, which will be analyzed through

Denna uppsats undersöker när, och vilken typ av, statligt stöd, till icke-statliga aktörer, utgör ett brott mot våldsförbudet enligt artikel 2(4) i FN-stadgan, med Nicaragua-domen som utgångspunkt. Internationella domstolen fastställde att beväpnande och utbildning av icke-statliga väpnade grupper utgör ett brott mot våldsförbudet, medan finansiellt och, vissa typer av, logistiskt stöd i regel falThis thesis examines when, and what type of, state support to non-state actors constitutes a breach of the prohibition on the use of force under Article 2(4), using the Nicaragua judgement as a central reference point. The ICJ established that arming and training non-state armed groups amount to an unlawful use of force, while financial and some forms of logistical support generally fall under the

Contributing 3% of global annual carbon emissions, the shipping sector has to do its part to keep the global temperature under the maximum increase of 2°C. To fulfil this target, the Netherlands conceived the ‘Green Deal on Maritime and Inland Shipping and Ports’ in 2019. This thesis aims to make a preliminary assessment on the policy’s effectiveness by applying Weber et al.’s environmental pol
