This is a thesis in Criminal Law, with the overall purpose to present an analysis of the legitimacy of the development in the criminal law area that has occurred within the framework of the European Union (EU). More specifically, the thesis will focus on the question of legitimacy of legislative power in criminal matters at the EU level – a question which ultimately is one concerned with the legit
When the metabolic activity of bacteria is exploited by the food and biotechnology industries, freeze-drying is commonly used to produce concentrated bacterial cultures with enhanced storage stability. The freeze-drying tolerance of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri and the biocontrol agent Pseudomonas chlororaphis has been characterized in this work. Lb. reuteri was found to have higher
This article investigates the stories told by Swedish men charged with bribery. The interviews are drawn from a study of court cases relating to bribery. White-collar criminals often justify their actions with reference to business culture: ‘‘Everyone’s doing it.’’ In this study, when refuting alle- gations, interviewees also invoke a ‘‘folk logic of bribery,’’ thus making use of mainstream cultur
Specimens of Caloplaca belonging to the group of C. citrina (Hoffm.) Th. Fr. were collected in different localities in the provinces of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and studied using morphology and nrITS data. They were identified as C. austrocitrina Vondrak, Riha, Arup & Sochting, a species newly described from the Black Sea area, but also found in other European countries. These findings are the
A spherical reference field is used to construct a digital holographic system with a demonstrated resolution up to 228 line pairs per mm. The reference field originates from a GRIN lens placed 1 mm from the illuminated object. This allows the use of a standard sensor to record the hologram with the required numerical aperture. The image is determined by evaluation of the Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffra
Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen presenteras ett matematiskt ramverk för analys av datagenomströmning i paket-baserade radionät som stör varandra. Tidigare forskning om prestanda i paketradionät täcker många olika system och aspekter. Tidigare publicerade arbeten har dock till stor del varit begränsade till fixa paketlängder. Ramverket som presenteras i avhandlingen tillåter detaljerad aIn this thesis, a probabilistic framework is presented and used for analysis of the throughput of interfering packet-based radio networks, referred to as packet radio networks (PRNs). Previous research on the performance of PRNs covers a wide variety of systems and aspects in varying levels of detail. However, the work presented in the literature has mostly been limited to fixed packet lengths. Th
Given images of a scene taken by a moving camera or recordings of a moving smart phone playing a song by a microphone array, how hard is it to reconstruct the scene structure or the moving trajectory of the phone? In this thesis, we study and solve several fundamental geometric problems in order to provide solutions to these problems. The key underlying technique for solving such geometric probl
The presence of various mechanisms of non-genetic inheritance is one of the main problems for current evolutionary theory according to several critics. Sufficient empirical and conceptual reasons exist to take this claim seriously, but there is little consensus on the implications of multiple inheritance systems for evolutionary processes. Here we use the Price Equation as a starting point for a d
Popular Abstract in Swedish Gående som mellanmänsklig handling Traska, spatsera, flanera, power-gå, ila, dra fötterna efter sig, ta en stärkande promenad eller bara vandra bort i tankarna för en kort stund. Att gå är en komplex handling som omfattar allt från upplevelsen av marken som vi går på till människorna vi möter. Både när vi är ute och går själva eller tillsammans med andra så förhåller vThere is a lack of attention toward the diversity in experiences of architecture that are expressed through walking. Through the application of autoethnography and critical perspectives of queer and feminist theory, this dissertation develops a method for investigating experiences of architecture in regard to the activity of walking. In addition, this thesis addresses the influence of form, materi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vattengråsuggan Asellus aquaticus är ett väldigt vanligt ryggradslöst djur i många typer av svenska vatten. Den kan bli över 10 mm stor och äter allt från dött organiskt material till levande alger och växter. Färgen hos gråsuggan kan variera mycket mellan olika miljöer. Den är oftast mörk men kan även vara nästan vit i underjordiska grottpopulationer. Jag har studerat Pigmentation in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus differed between two habitats. Asellus were lighter pigmented in stands of submerged stonewort vegetation, than in nearby reed stands. Moreover, Asellus pigmentation became lighter with time in recently established stonewort stands. Diet or pigment adjustment had minor influence on pigmentation and mating was random with respect to pigmentati
Heterogeneous parallel systems are becoming mainstream computing platforms nowadays. One of the main challenges the development community is currently facing is how to fully exploit the available computational power when porting existing programs or developing new ones with available techniques. In this direction, several design space exploration methods have been presented and extensively adopted
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en dokumentation av mina undersökningar av det rumänska ordet. Jag har som allmänlingvist undersökt några aspekter av det rumänska ordet fonologiskt, fonetiskt och semantiskt. Det finns också mycket skrivet om morfologin i rumänska. Man är väl medveten om att en del suffix tar betoning och andra inte. Men ingen har utnyttjat denna kunskap för att sys
This is the second annual report for the Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, a national monitoring programme coordinated by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency since 2010. The programme is a partnership between the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Swedi
This CREDIT Report 3 'CREDIT Performance Indicator Framework' presents a framework of building costs, performance and impact indicators. The framework is an endeavor to map and communicate many and differing approaches and perspectives on building and real estate in one model. The general and specific objectives of the research on the performance indicator framework were to: – Improve transparent
In a preliminary study aimed at outlining the organization of affective categories in Romanian, several cases were identified where Romanians made use of two or more competing linguistic terms applied to what appeared to be the same conceptual configuration . One such case is taken into consideration in this 5-study follow-up investigation, whose purpose was to obtain empirical data for establishi
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har morfologin och kristallstrukturen av epitaxiellt växta nanotrådstrukturer undersökts med hjälp av svepelektronmikroskopi (SEM), transmissionselektronmikroskopi (TEM) och multi-slice (MS) simuleringar. Bland annat har vi funnit att de lamellära tvillingar som ofta observeras i III-V nanotrådar växta i <111>B riktningarna tenderar att begränsas av eIn this work, the morphology and crystal structure of epitaxial semiconductor nanowire structures grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) are studied by electron microscopy methods. In particular, the three-dimensional structure of nanowires and nanotrees has been characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and multi-sli
This paper deals with the joint estimation of spatial mode shapes and temporal frequencies from transient vibrations measured by a uniform circular array of sensors encircling a cross-section of a cylinder. The geometry allows each 2D mode to be interpreted as two real planar waves impinging from mirrored directions with respect to the broadside of a uniform linear array. Algorithms for joint esti
