This thesis provides a study of the coastal state jurisdiction over the continental shelf. The study is limited to exploration and exploitation of subsoil petroleum deposits as well as the activities affiliated with this. There is a problem of overlapping, or conflicting jurisdictional competence, in situations where the law of the flag state applies in regard to the vessels involved in the petrol
The very recent catastrophe in Fukushima Japan has led to new incentives for promoting electricity generation through renewable energies in Germany. In this article the economic implications of those incentives for one German federal state, namely Mecklenburg – Western Pomerania, are highlighted. By `diving´ into this region and by applying several different forecasting methods as well as question
Idag finns det många olika sätt att avbilda människokroppens inre. Två av de vanligaste metoderna som används idag är magnetresonans (MR) och datortomografi (CT). MR använder sig av starka magnetfält och radiovågor för att skapa snittbilder av kroppen, medan CT använder sig av röntgenstrålar. Båda kamerorna har sina fördelar och nackdelar. MR ger bättre vävnadskontrast, det vill säga det är lättarIntroduction MRI provides better soft tissue contrast than CT and is an invaluable tool in the radiotherapy treatment process. The gold standard today is image fusion of MRI and CT data where targets and organs-at-risk are delineated on the MRI data and the dose calculation is performed on the CT data. It is appealing to exclude CT from the process in order to reduce cost and time and to eliminate
This paper is concerned with the changing role of regional innovation systems and regional policies in supporting the transition of indigenous firms in developing countries from competing on low costs towards becoming knowledge providers in global value chains. Special attention is paid to policies supporting the emergence and development of the regional innovation system in this transition proces
The majority of motorcycle accident fatalities in Malaysia occur on primary roads, especially at access points situated along straight road sections. To explore the behavioral factors that may contribute to motorcyclists being involved in hazardous situations at these locations and to develop working hypotheses for a consecutive quantitative study, a qualitative observational study was carried out
Partial migration is a common phenomenon among many animals and occurs in many types of ecosystems. Understanding the mechanisms behind partial migration is of major importance for the understanding of population dynamics and, eventually, ecosystem processes. We studied the effects of food availability on the seasonal partial migration of cyprinid fish from a lake to connected streams during winte
Uncommon categorization, i.e. disparities in how similar terms and information is interpreted, coded and categorized, has been shown to impede inter-agency communication and collective sense-making. This study focuses on the presence and effects of uncommon categorizations in disaster risk management systems. We use the Swedish disaster risk management system as our case, and our empirical data co
Popular Abstract in Swedish Magnetisk resonanstomografi: Patienters upplevelser och betydelsen av anpassad information och förberedelse för vuxna och barn. Magnetisk resonanstomografi (MRT) har sedan tidigt 1980-tal ökat i betydelse och är idag en vanlig undersökning för både vuxna och barn. Undersökningen innebär att patienten ligger i en smal tunnel i magnetkameran och när bilderna tas hörs kraMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming an increasingly common form of exami¬nation for both adults and children. Although it is non-invasive and considered painless, both adults and children experience anxiety during the examination. The technique is sensitive to motion and for that reason many children are anaesthetised. The aim of this thesis was to improve patient care through exploring a
The dense arrangement of memory cells in modern computing systems introduces a significant concern known as read disturbance errors, stemming from the electrical properties of the capacitors within memory cells. When a memory cell is read, there exists a probability that it may inadvertently discharge its stored electrical charge to neighbouring cells, potentially altering their state from uncharg
ISIS committed mass atrocities against the Yazidis (Kurdish: Êzîdîs) in Sinjar (Kurdish: Şingal), Iraq, in 2014-2017. Several international and regional observers have qualified the acts as genocide under international law. Yet the numerous social, cultural, and political preconditions of the genocide are not recognized in the 1948 Genocide Convention. To answer the line of question, Susan Opotow’
Myndigheternas utkontraktering av sin it-drift till privata aktörer är viktigt utifrån såväl ett effektivitetsperspektiv som ett kostnadsperspektiv. Samtidigt kan utkontraktering vara problematiskt utifrån ett sekretessperspektiv. Myndigheter hanterar många sekretessreglerade uppgifter och sekretessen skyddar viktiga intressen. De senaste åren har det tillkommit nya lagar på området. Dels har en n
The aim of this study has been to explore the perceptions of evidence-based practice among social workers along with how they perceive their prerequisites for working according to the evidence-based model. The social workers have been found within the children and family unit of the Swedish social services, and the evidence-based model was compared to that of the Swedish National Board of Health a
Inverse problems are important in quantum physics as their solutions are essential in order to describe a number of systems using measurable information, e.g. excitation energies or material properties. The problem with inverse problems is that they are usually very hard to solve. One method that could be useful in solving these problems is artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks ha
Detta examensarbete har utforskat relationen mellan arkitektur och dokumentation. Syftet har varit att undersöka vilka normer som finns i arkitekturens och stadsplaneringens tillvägagångssätt för att dokumentera platser och vilka sanningar dessa ger upphov till. Ambitionen har varit att se dokumentation i relation till plats och makt för att bättre förstå arkitektens roll som någon i position av aThis thesis have investigated the relationship between architecture and documentation. The aim have been to study what norms that exist in architecture’s and city planning’s approaches for documenting sites and what types of truths they help create. The ambition have been to see documentation in relation to site and power to better understand the architect’s role as someone in a position to interp
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur transformativa verk behandlas inom den svenska upphovsrätten. I centrum för informationssamhället uppenbarar sig en grundläggande motsättning mellan å ena sidan internetkulturens kultur av fri tillgång, spridning och användning, å andra sidan upphovsrättens över- gripande mål att skydda och kontrollera spridningen och användningen av upphovsrättsskyddade verk.The purpose of the essay is to examine how transformative works are treated within Swedish copyright law. At the center of the information society, a fun- damental contradiction emerges between, on the one hand, the Internet cul- ture's stamp of free access, dissemination and use, and on the other hand, cop- yright's overarching goal of protecting and controlling the dissemination and use
An important function for the human body is the ability to maintain balance. This has been compared to a sixth sense whose function we would have difficulties to be without. The system of balance is a complex system which uses several different sensors to get a satisfactory image of the position and motion of the body. One of the sensors is vision. Our assignment has been to make an equipment for
With the gain of productivity in farming the last decades, there has been great loss in species richness. Many plant species that have evolved and adapted alongside to traditional farming and benefiting to the managed land use, are now disappearing in great numbers. Three thirds of Sweden’s endangered plant species are those who thrive in managed grasslands like meadows and grazing areas. The trad
