This report summarizes a survey performed in eight countries on the status quo of daylight and electric lighting control systems. Feedback from more than 100 international experts (building / facility managers and planers) was evaluated. The aim of the survey was to identify the perception of the different possibilities of the current lighting control solutions and the expectations about the contr
During the 20th century, international law has developed towards individualization. Global human rights norms are paired with increased consideration for victims of violations. Simultaneously, trafficking in humans has become a major activity of organized crime, currently one of the most serious human rights issues in Europe. In the light of this, this thesis will examine how the right to be free

Popular Abstract in Swedish Omgivningens temperatur är kanske en av de faktorer som i allra störst utsträckning påverkar djur och deras livsmiljö. Detta bottnar givetvis till stor del i temperaturens effekt på naturen. Betänk till exempel årstidsväxlingarna; att vintern blir till vår, och att hösten (i samband med de första snöfallen) allt mer skrider mot ännu en kall och vit vinter bestäms och reTemperature is a property of profound matter in all aspects of animal life, affecting both individual energy budgets and the environments in which animals reside. Thus, a proper understanding of the effects of temperature variation is instrumental in understanding not only animal form and function, but also the structure and dynamics of wild populations. Accordingly, the aims of this thesis were t
Pheromone communication systems have a reliable signal with a restricted window of amounts and ratios released and perceived. We propose a model based on a Gaussian response profile that allows a quantification of the response peak (location of optimum) and a measure of the peak width (response window). Interpreting the Gaussian curve, fitted by nonlinear regression (NLR), as a standard normal dis
The main focus of this thesis is the analysis of the interactions between antennas and channels where electromagnetic fields play a central role. Our goal has been to devise a general framework to enable a clear separation of the properties of the propagation channel from the influence of the antennas at the same time as it provides a common ground for a joint characterization of their properties.
Current market trends for industrial automation are the need for customizable production, shorter time to market, and powerful global competitive pressure. Based on these trends two challenges have been identified: 1) flexible production systems and 2) integration and utilization of devices and software. Applications from both process automation, manufacturing, and robotics have been considered.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) är ett tillstånd som definieras av låg benmassa och ett tillstånd som ökar med stigande ålder. Sjukdomen i sig är symptomfri men ökar risken för frakturer. Frakturer i kota, axel, handled, bäcken, och höft efter 50 års ålder är ofta förknippade med osteoporos och ca 70 000 sådana frakturer inträffar årligen i Sverige. Även artros (ledsvikt) i höfPartly due to an ageing population, the number of osteoporosis-related fractures and osteoarthritis (OA)-related hip and knee arthroplasty procedures is increasing. The individual suffering and the burden on society for these conditions is immense. Genetic contribution for the variance in bone mineral density (BMD) is estimated at around 60–80%, and for OA 50%, leaving a considerable proportion to
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
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad är analytisk kemi? Den grundläggande frågeställningen för en analytisk kemist är att finna vad för slags ämnen det finns i ett prov och hur mycket det finns av varje ämne. Detta är inte på långa vägar någon lätt uppgift. Det innebär i många fall att alla ämnen måste separeras från varandra för att sedan kunna identifieras. Som tur är så är de flesta ämnen olika varaThis thesis deals with the combination of electrochromatography and molecular imprinting technology. Electrochromatography is characterised by high separation efficiency, simple instrumentation, and minute consumption of sample. As a novel approach to obtain unique selectivity in capillary electrochromatographic systems molecularly imprinted matrices were used. Molecular imprinting technology repr
The thesis concerns experimental studies of bubble motion and the transport of large particles and bubbles. Bubbly flows are encountered in many engineering applications where the bubbles play an important role for the mass transfer between the phases, e.g. in stirred reactors. A special case of bubble transport is the cavitation phenomenon, which mainly has a negative effect on the performance of
We present multiple-epoch radial-velocity observations for 104 stars in a field of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 4651 to . Only 13 stars (13%) of the full sample are field stars. From the 44 single member stars we find a mean radial velocity of , and the 12 single red-giant members yield a true radial-velocity dispersion of . Of the 19 giant members, 7 (37%) are spectroscopic binaries with
Carbon Black (CB), graphene, and nanodiamonds represent three classes of manufactured carbonaceous nanoparticles consisting almost exclusively of insoluble material. Particle-related Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) have been linked to in vivo and in vitro toxicity and determining particle ROS activity is an efficient way of estimating nanomaterial toxicity and assist in the safe-by-design developmen
CONTEXT: Uptake of organic farming falls short of stated sustainability targets, particularly in highly productive regions where adoption could mitigate environmental impacts of intensive farming. Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the constraints on adoption, but these have not been assessed within an integrative, interdisciplinary framework.OBJECTIVE: The objective was to develop a

The 15 countries that participated were: Austria, Belgium - Brussels Region, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden an
This thesis emanates from the discursive gap between a medical discourse andexperience-driven knowledges in mental health aspects of hormonal contraceptives.The tensions and fractures between a medical discourse focusing on contraceptiveeffectiveness and largely refuting any significant adverse outcomes, and experiencebasednarratives of commonplace detrimental, or at least unwelcome and unpleasant
East Prussia was a region populated by people of many different ethnoses, confessions and languages. Initially settled by Germans after the Teutonic Knights had conquered native Pruthenians, it quickly became a melting pot of newcomers from different regions of Europe.East Prussian diversity took a serious hit after the unification of Germany in 1871. The homogenisation policies adopted by the aut
Sweden is a country that traditionally respects the freedom of association and the large number of existing trade unions confirms this statement.On the other hand, however, the Swedish trade union system is structured in a way that eliminates almost every sort of competition between different organizations. In fact, for every sector of the economy there is approximately one union for blue collars
