I en allt mer globaliserad värld och efter den digitala revolutionen, har skyddet för personuppgifter hamnat i rampljuset. Numera, utbyts data över nätet dagligen för olika syften, såsom privata, kommersiella och allmänna, vilket har skapat en oro för hur dessa överföringar av personuppgifter kan påverka rätten till dataskydd och rätten till privatliv. Inom EU har det funnits en tradition av att In an increasingly globalized world and after a decade of digital revolution, the protection of personal data has fallen in the limelight. Nowadays, data is exchanged over the internet daily for various purposes, including strictly private, commercial, as well as public, which has raised concerns on how these transfers of personal data may affect the right to data protection and the right to priva

Inom bygg- och anläggningsbranschen är det ett välkänt problem att entreprenadprojekt ofta drabbas av tvister. För att få bukt med problemet med tvister som hämmar projekten finns det i de allmänt använda standardavtalen tvistelösningsklausuler som föreskriver andra tvistelösningsmetoder än de två konventionella sätten skiljeförfarande och allmän domstol. Uppsatsen syftar till att jämföra två av dIn today’s construction industry, it is a well-known problem that construction projects are often troubled by disputes. In order to overcome the problem of disputes that hamper project, the regularly used standard form of contracts include dispute settlement clauses that provide alternative dispute settlement methods other than the two traditional one’s arbitration and court procedure. The focus o

Urban Sprawl is one of the challenges to urban development in many nations. Different aspects of the phenomenon have been researched with a view to providing solutions to myriad of ills attributed to it. For any meaningful intervention, however, assessment of development to ascertain sprawl is essential. Despite this, its quantification and monitoring in environment with paucity of data remains a

Denna studie fokuserar på en sedimentsekvens som hämtats från Odensjön, i Söderåsens nationalpark i Skåne, södra Sverige. Den undersökta sekvensen, som täcker de översta 86 cm av sedimenten, är unik på grund av dess väldigt tydliga årsvarv, som har möjliggjort en precis datering (Hertzman in prep.). Tilläggsvis, den stora mängden välbevarade Fagus sylvatica-blad synliga i sedimenten yngre än cirkaThis study focuses on a sediment sequence retrieved from Lake Odensjön, positioned within Söderåsen National Park in Scania, southern Sweden. The investigated sequence, covering the uppermost 86 cm of sediments, is unique due to its very distinct annual varves, which have allowed for precise dating (Hertzman in prep.). In addition, the large amount of well-preserved Fagus sylvatica leaves visible

Tjänarinna är en kvinnlig tjänare som anses haft slavsstatus och fick arbeta 16 timmar om dagen för att kunna överleva. Deras löner var låga och deras arbetstimmar var höga. Detta är en beskrivning av ett förflutet yrke som inte har lämnats mycket utrymme i dagens skildringar av 1900-talets historiska händelser. Tjänarinna var ett yrke som utgjordes enbart av kvinnor och innebar ett heltidsarbete

How are penicillin-binding proteins sorted in cells? A bacterial cell wall can be regarded as a brick building, in which the bricks and the cement hold the building together, provide structure for the building, protect its contents, and allow only certain substances to enter. Many antibiotics target proteins that function in cell wall morphogenesis (the process of building the brick wall in this

Vilket protein vaktar arvsmassan bäst? Osteosarkoma är den mest förekommande elakartade bentumören. Den drabbar unga under 25 år och framförallt när de når puberteten. Tekniska framsteg och aggressiv behandling inom tumörsjukdomar har gjort att vi idag har en förväntad överlevnad på ungefär 60-70 % , en siffra som kan och måste förbättras. Det är viktigt att forskningen trappas upp så att alla ba

Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka om och hur man skulle bygga en modell för att kunna beräkna utsläppen av växthusgaser vid förändringar av transmissionskapacitet. Arbetet avhandlar hur det nuvarande elsystemet är uppbyggt och påverkan på utsläppen av växthusgaser ifrån ökad produktion av förnyelsebar elproduktion och ökad transmission av elektricitet. Utifrån att studera vind- och lastdataIn the light of the importance of climate change and the emissions that have induced it, the ability to calculate the effect on emissions by changing transmission capacity is vital. A model to perform such indicative calculations is developed in this thesis. After researching how the current electricity system is organised, the effects on GHG emissions that are expected from increased renewable el

Stjärnor sägs vara astronomins tidskapsel, genom att studera stjärnor kan vi bättre förstå många fenomen. Stjärnor är en viktig del av vårt universum från det att de skapas till det att de dör. De berikar vårt universum med olika grundämnen som krävs för att planeter ska bildas och för att liv ska uppstå. Det verkar då självklart varför man vill undersöka och förstå alla aspekter kring stjärnbildnThis is a thesis project, analysing data from high-resolution imaging observations, specifically speckle imaging, as a follow up study of exoplanet host stars observed with K2, the second operational phase of the space telescope Kepler. The project was accomplished at NASA Ames research center under the guidance of Rachel A. Matson, during an internship in collaboration with the Swedish National S

Sustainability researchers are facing increasing pressure to improve their scientific communication and to achieve impacts in wider society with their research. Knowledge mobilisation (KMB) is a key component of both challenges, as it relates to efforts undertaken by researchers to achieve impacts with their research. This study seeks to identify some of the KMB practices being undertaken by exper

Outdoor climate has considerable impact on the indoor climate and it is therefore important to adapt the buildings to the climate. This thesis shows how to improve indoor climate in a climate which it is hot, dry in the summer and cold in the winter. My investigative unit is a middle class house in the town Baalbek in Lebanon and the purpose of the study is to come up with proposals on possible so

Syftet med studien var att analysera den kringliggande problematiken för energiproducenters beslutsfattningsprocess när de utvärderar investeringar i energieffektiviseringsåtgärder för uppvärmningssystem i vattenkraftsbaserade produktionsenheter i Sverige. Studien har utgått ifrån de dokumenterade barriärerna för investeringar i energieffektiviseringsåtgärder och applicerar konceptet om EnvironmenThe purpose of this study was to analyze the problems surrounding the decision making process for a energy producer when dealing with (potential) energy efficiency measures. This work creates the basis of a investment prioritizing structure directed at heating systems within Swedish hydro power based production facilities managed by Vattenfall. The research was called for by Vattenfall, as the org

Abstract Plasmodium relictum is a generalist avian malaria parasite found to infect approximately 400 species of bird on every continent except Antarctica. The two P. relictum isolates studied, SGS1 and GRW4, have been found in 55 species of passeriform bird. A parasite with a broad geographic range combined with lack of vector- and host-specificity is likely to contain multiple genetic variants.

Popular science Using remote sensing to assess drought in Somalia Somalia, the country in East Africa in a region referred to as Horn of Africa is in a civil war, conflict and unrest since 1991. The prolonged conflict increases the impact of droughts in the country which is already prone to drought continuously. The country is frequently exposed to drought, occurring moderately every 3-4 years a

I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion. Innan de nya reglerna hann träda i kraft den 1 januari 2023 ändrade sig riksdagen och röstade i stället igenom ett förstärkt reseavdrag med höjda schaIn June 2022, a bill was passed through Riksdagen which led to the cost-based write off for traveling to and from your employment (work commute) being changed to accommodate non-specific travel methods and distance based tax deduction. Before the new bills had gone into effect starting from the 1st of january 2023, the Riksdag changed their mind and opted to pass a new bill that allowed for higher

Autoantibodies in Type 1 Diabetes: A Case of Catch Me If You Can? Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body cannot use ingested energy due to the lack of the hormone insulin. There is no cure for T1D; the only available treatment is daily insulin injections. Worldwide T1D numbers are increasing, and Sweden has the second most T1D patients globally. In T1D, disease-s

The pulmonary route has emerged as a promising strategy for delivering protein therapeutics, particularly for patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary infections. This project investigated the effect of operating parameters of a laboratory spray dryer on the characteristics of powders composed of Bovine Serum Albumin

Sharks are an ecologically important group of fishes important to maintaining ecosystem structure and function, yet the additive effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten their survival. Northwestern Atlantic populations of shortfin mako sharks and white sharks are considered threatened species, with populations in decline since the 1950s. Previous conservation efforts have a

Objectives: Pregnancy can influence immune control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (MtbI). We recently reported an association between MtbI and pregnancy complications, particularly severe preeclampsia, in a registry-based cohort of women originating in tuberculosis-endemic countries screened for MtbI in Swedish antenatal care, implying a potential role of MtbI for the development of preec
