The Milky Way harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its dynamical center. Surrounding the SMBH is a dense nuclear star cluster (NSC) which is believed to include a binary population. Beyond $0.1\mathrm{pc}$ from the SMBH, Eccentric-Kozoai Lidov oscillations are suppressed by general relativity precession, and the dynamical evolution of binaries are completely dominated by encounters with oth

Innovationshöjden för automatiska skjutdörrssystem under de senaste årtionden har resulterat i högteknologiska automatiska skjutdörrar, där tillbehören och användargränssnitten inte har utvecklats i samma utsträckning. Det har lett till att programväljare för skjutdörrar blivit omoderna och svåranvända för användarna. Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att tillsammans med ASSA ABLOY Entrance SysteThe innovation of automatic sliding door systems over the past decades has resulted in high-tech automatic sliding doors, where accessories and user interfaces have not been developed to the same extent. As a result, operating mode selectors for sliding doors has become outdated and difficult for users to operate. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to propose a new design for operating mode s

Recently a new field of microscopy has emerged, known as selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM). Using a SPIM setup the sample is illuminated with a thin light sheet from the side. The selective plane illumination overcomes many problems that conventional microscopes have. Conventional microscopes illuminate the sample axially and collects the light only from the focal plane of the microsc

This study aimed to investigate how healthcare counsellors experience the on-call assignment. This was done by examining how the healthcare counsellors described their assignment, how they managed it, and what knowledge they used in the assignment. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with seven healthcare counsellors employed at two hospitals in southern Sweden. The analysis

Fram till 2009 kunde domstolen vid brottet mord döma till tio års fängelse eller till livstids fängelse. 2009 ändrades straffskalan och möjliggjorde att domstolen kunde döma ut ett tidsbegränsat straff på lägst tio år och högst arton år. I NJA 2013 s. 376 uttalade HD att utgångspunkten för ett mord utan förmildrande eller försvårande omständigheter skulle vara fängelse i fjorton år. Redan året eftUntil 2009 the punishment for murder was ten years or life imprisonment. In 2009 there was an amendment of the law, which expanded the area where the court could convict someone to a fixed sentence; ten years as the lowest and eighteen years a maximum. In NJA 2013 p. 376 the Supreme Court ruled that the basic assumption for a murder without aggravating- or extenuating circumstances was a fourteen

Systemic risk can be defined as the risk to the whole financial system. Financial institutions may contribute more or less to this risk, and measuring the systemic risk contributions of institutions is of central importance for regulators. This is important since it makes it possible to determine to what extent different institutions contribute to the overall systemic risk of the financial system

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a vital part of aerospace manufacturing due to high demands for quality and safety. Advances in materials science have given rise to aerospace composites with highly improved properties compared to traditional materials. To ensure that materials can be used safely, NDT techniques are continuously improved to follow advances in materials. This has also spurred devel

The aim of this study was to examine what people working closely with clients for non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Skåne and Cape Town think about conditions and challenges in regard to the organizations’ operation. The focus is on organizations working with substance abuse. We have had seven semi-structured interviews with people who work closely with clients in the organization. Three of them

In order to measure the stiffness properties of a soil, a method called the plate loading test is used. Based on this test a modulus called Ev2 [Pa] is obtained among others. When building a road construction there are different requirements for this Ev2-modulus for different layers in the road. According to the Swedish Transport Administration regulatory document TRVK Väg and the dimensioning ca

The reality in terms of operational competence has changed. The past tradition of assessing procedural compliance of the individual Air Traffic Controller is today challenged in a dynamic and intractable socio-technical system like Air Traffic Management. Changes in technology and complex system interdependencies, call for an enhanced understanding of the interaction and coupling between the human

Unlimited vacation policies are a rising trend, particularly among startup and tech companies. Giving employees total freedom to choose their vacation days may prove to be beneficial for both company and employees. Within this paper, a qualitative research is presented, with the objective of finding out how unlimited vacation policies (UVPs) influence job satisfaction among employees, and what imp

Emissions of air pollutants from shipping in Europe result in about 50 000 premature deaths every year. Soot particles, also called black carbon, are particularly hazardous to human health when inhaled. The adverse health effects are especially a danger in coastal areas, but the particles can travel further away with the wind. These soot particles also have an effect on the climate. Fresh soot par

While there is little overlap in its use and meanings, the concept “value” is often central within the texts of human ecology. But it is seldom clear what the word really means even at a particular instantiation of it, neither what ontological commitments would let that which the meaning refers to exist in the world. This thesis takes one use, found in Alf Hornborg’s discussion of unequal exchange

This dissertation investigates the function of the sea in contemporary British and Irish literature, focusing on the following three novels: Dermot Bolger’s Temptation (2000), John Banville’s The Sea (2005), and Ian McEwan’s On Chesil Beach (2007). The analysis is divided into two main parts, where the sea is considered in its roles as a setting and as a symbol. The former section starts with a su

This thesis is about ”BIM " , it addresses the problems and risks associated with the introduction in Sweden and how the expression is misinterpreted. The work also includes how BIM should be used to achieve profitability and how the different operators relate to it. The Swedish construction industry is today exposed with big problems when it comes to productivity, efficiency, material waste

This Master’s thesis aims to identify aspects of the school librarians’ accessibility in the school library, which is the integral part of the local public library and where integration bears the meaning of two spheres of activities sharing both space and recourses. One of the aspects concerns the design of the library organization and its impact on the school librarians’ accessibility. Another as

The purpose of this study was to analyse the concept of empowerment and its meaning in the political document "En Förnyad Folkhälsopolitik" from the present Swedish government, containing guidelines and politics in the area of public health. The underlying question was if it could be considered as representative for some kind of general "empowerment approach" since the concept

Den 1 juli 2020 infördes hedersmotiv som försvårande omständighet i 29 kap. 2 § 10 p. BrB. Lagändringen syftade till att tydligare markera brottslighetens särskilda klandervärdhet när gärningen begåtts med hedersmotiv och att möjliggöra ett strängare straff för sådan brottslighet. Mot denna bakgrund undersöker uppsatsen om bestämmelsen har fått det genomslag i rättstillämpningen som lagstiftaren aOn 1 July 2020, honour motives were introduced as an aggravating circumstance in Chapter 29, Section 2, point 10 of the Swedish Criminal Code. The amendment aimed to more clearly emphasise the particular blameworthiness of criminal conduct when an offence is committed with an honour motive and to enable harsher punishment for such crimes. Against this background, this essay examines whether the pr

Background and purpose: Real-world data on management and outcomes of patients with simultaneously diagnosed synchronous colorectal liver and lung metastases are limited. This national study evaluated referral patterns, treatment strategies, and survival in a population-based cohort. Patient/material and methods: This retrospective cohort study used Swedish national registries to identify patients
