Varje år dör omkring tretton kvinnor i Sverige till följd av våld av en man som de har eller har haft en nära relation med. Ofta kulminerar våldet vid en separation eller skilsmässa. Det kan därför innebära en högre risk för dödligt våld under separationsfasen. Den drivande kraften bakom våldet är vanligtvis svartsjuka och kontroll från mannen, vilket han känner en förlust av vid tillfället då kviEvery year about thirteen women die in Sweden because of the violence of a man they have or have had a close relationship with. Often the violence culminates in a separation or divorce. Therefore, it may involve a higher risk of fatal violence during the separation phase. The driving force behind the violence is usually jealous and control from the man, which he knows a loss at the moment when the

Evolution of the aerobic iron oxidation metabolism Every living organism needs energy to survive and reproduce. We humans get our energy from food, mainly in the form of fats, sugars, protein, and perhaps some alcohol. Bacteria and other microorganisms are able to use other sources such as light and metals. In this master thesis I aim to find out how the cellular machinery needed for the aerobic

A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou

New product development is a complex process for bringing new products to the market. While manufacturing is a very repetitive process, the new product development has to be more flexible as the same product is never developed again. Therefore the theory behind lean manufacturing is not applicable in new product development. The purpose of this study is to propose improvements to Oriflame’s new pr

I Sverige, liksom i många andra delar av Europa, finns en romantiserande bild av ungdomsgäng. Genom medias rapporteringar får vi ibland ta del av olika berättelser om ungdomar som sysslar med brott och ställer till med trubbel ute i förorterna. Dessutom har vi alla någon gång sett amerikanska filmer som både glamouriserar gänglivet och framställer det ur ett mycket dystert ljus. Ungdomar i gäng In Sweden, as in many other parts of Europe, we have a romanticized notion of youth gangs. Through media reports, we sometimes come to hear different stories of youths who engage in criminal activity and cause trouble out in the suburbs. Moreover, we have all seen American movies that glamourize gang life as well as present it from a very gloomy light. Youths who are involved in gangs evoke a ce

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th

Aktiebolaget som associationsform är en av det svenska affärslivets grundkomponenter och har kontinuerligt utvecklats i takt med samhället i stort. Idag tycks vi stå inför en ny syn på aktiebolaget som samhällsaktör, där uppmärksamheten riktas mot dess förhållande till sin omvärld, istället för på interna bolagsstyrningsaspekter där fokus legat under en längre tid. Denna uppsats granskar förhållanThe limited liability company (Sw. “aktiebolag”) as a legal figure constitutes one of the basic components in Swedish business life and has continuously evolved with society at large. Today we seem to be facing a new notion regarding the limited company’s role in society, where attention is drawn to its relation to the surrounding world, instead of focusing on internal corporate governance aspects

Den ökande internetanvändningen och teknikutvecklingen har lett till en förflyttning av traditionella brott till den digitala miljön. Internet möjliggör kommunikation i en annan utsträckning än tidigare och större möjligheter för sexualförbrytare att kontakta barn i syfte att utsätta dessa för sexuella övergrepp. Digital bevisning avseende elektronisk kommunikation blir ett avgörande inslag i samtThe increasing use of internet and the development of technology has led to the transfer of traditional crimes into the digital environment. The internet enables communication to a different extent than before and greater opportunities for sexual offenders to contact children with the aim of exposing them to sexual abuse. Digital evidence is a crucial element in all investigations of such crimes.

Den europeiska gemenskapen inom försvars-och säkerhetsfrågor rör sig allt mer ifrån transnationellt samarbete mot federal integration. Parallellt med denna utveckling identifieras på EU-nivå i dagsläget dessutom en rad nya säkerhetspolitiska utmaningar som både unionen och medlemsstaterna till stor del är överens om att hantera gemensamt. Likväl förekommer också att krav ställs på mer nationellt sThe European Community in the fields of defence and security is at large moving further and further from transnational cooperation towards federal integration. In line with this development, a number of new security policy challenges have today been identified at EU level and both the EU and a majority of its member states agree that they need to be addressed jointly. Nevertheless, demands from me

To reduce the costs and survive the challenges of migration, animals should flexibly respond to changing environmental conditions along the route. In long-distance migratory birds, available habitat can vary substantially and so individual flexibility is needed to optimally exploit foraging opportunities, particularly for species that have specialized diets. However, flexible behavioral responses Seabirds adjust their behavior to migrate over changing landscapes Tracking birds with GPS technology, like the one that lets us consult Google Maps in our phones, has given exciting insight into how they are able to fly thousands of kilometers in challenging conditions over oceans and deserts during migration. Yet there are many species with fascinating migratory strategies that have not been tr

This work reports the research and findings concerning the processes of groundwater flow and distribution to lake Bolmen in the Småland region, Sweden. The watershed of Bolmen is of high interest since it provides water for drinking and energy purposes, representing a resource of notable importance for the society of southern Sweden. Among the main objectives there is the estimation of the water b

In many process industries samples are taken and analyzed in laboratories to monitor and ensure proper production conditions. If the analysis result is not within specification limits measures are taken to correct errors. It has proved to be hard to take the appropriate measures. The problem description fits into the confines of control theory and the aim is to make a fairly simple solution to a v

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.

The thesis covers different topics related to model predictive control (MPC) and particularly distributed model predictive control (DMPC). One topic of the thesis is gradient-based optimization algorithms for solving the optimization problem arising in DMPC in a distributed manner. The underlying idea is to solve the optimization problem in distributed fashion using dual decomposition, which is a

Sverige och Danmark anses i komparativa sammanhang tillhöra samma rättsfamilj. I arbetsrättsligt avseende skiljer sig Danmark från övriga nordiska länder på så sätt att man undvikit lagstiftning i mesta möjliga mån och t.o.m. överlåtit implementering av vissa EU-direktiv åt arbetsmarknadens parter genom kollektivavtal. Den lagstiftning som finns är spretig och i stor utsträckning införd p.g.a. EU-In a comparative context Sweden and Denmark are often considered part of the same families of law. In respect of labour law, Denmark differs from the other Nordic countries by avoiding legislation as much as possible and have even left implementation of some EU directives to be performed through collective agreements. The legislation is uneven and to a great extent introduced after demands from th

Barnpornografibrott regleras i 16 kap. 10a§ BrB. Bestämmelsen omfattar nästintill all tänkbar befattning med barnpornografi. De huvudsakliga skälen för kriminalisering är att skydda det enskilda barnet och barn i allmänhet, varav det sist angivna skälet inte preciseras något ytterligare. Alla slags bilder betraktas som straffbara, även tecknade och animerade bilder som inte har någon koppling tillChild pornography is criminalized in chapter 16 10a§ BrB. It regulates almost every aspect of child pornography. The main reasons for criminalization is to protect the individual child and “children in general” (this concept is not further specified) All forms of illustrations are seen as criminal, even drawn or animated ones which do not necessarily depict an actual sexual assault or a real victi

Macaque politics and influential infants How infants influence social behaviour in adult Barbary macaques To befriend or not to befriend? Under what circumstances do animals act friendly to each other, and when do they act aggressively? Amid the dynamic and turbulent social landscape of macaque societies, individuals need to constantly evaluate their ever-changing social landscape. Family ties, f

Efter att den svenska riksdagen beslutade att återuppta totalförsvarsplaneringen år 2015 har vi erfarit en världsomspännande pandemi, krig i Sveriges närområde samtidigt som en stundande klimatkris blir alltmer akut. Dessa faktorer har gjort civilförsvarsförmågan och den svenska befolkningens hemberedskap till en aktuell fråga. Hur väl förberedda är vi egentligen ifall samhällets service slutaSince the Swedish parliament decided to resume the total defense planning in 2015, we have experienced a worldwide pandemic, war in the vicinity of Sweden, and an impending climate crisis becoming increasingly urgent. These factors have put civil defense capabilities and the Swedish population´s home preparedness high on the political agenda. How well-prepared are we really if societal service

Magnetresonanstomografi (MRI från engelskans, magnetic resonance imaging) är en bildtagningsteknik som låter oss avbilda kroppens morfologi och funktion, helt utan invasiva eller smärtsamma ingrepp. En av de funktionella metoderna är så kallat diffusionsviktad MRI (dMRI). Denna metod är känslig för slumpmässiga rörelsen hos de vattenmolekyler som finns i vävnaden. Eftersom rörelserna påverkas av sDiffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that utilizes the random thermal motion of water molecules to probe the microstructure of the tissue. Because it has excellent soft tissue contrast and high sensitivity to changes in the microstructure, it has established itself as a powerful tool to detect and quantify both normal development and pathological processes. Diffusion encoding

The race towards sustainability In a rapidly advancing society, energy consumption has increased in tandem with the rise of digitalisation and modern lifestyles. However, the recent situation of producing energy is to use finite resources such as fossil fuels. Furthermore, the use of said resource has side effects that are highly undesirable, as it is a huge contributor towards global warming. Alt
