Imagine your daily surroundings. Imagine your route to work, the busride, the sidewalk, the buildings, the parks, the beaches, the countryside with the agricultural fields. Now take a minute to think about how much of what you see would exist without human intervention? How much of the landscape is modified in some way to suit the needs of the humans? In this mindset we started to investigate the
Popular summary Deforestation has been recognized globally as the second largest source of Human-induced release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon stored in trees is important in the global carbon cycle and affects the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The process of deforestation takes place when man clears forested land. The amount of carbon stored in forested areas is larg
Due to the Basel III regulations, Value-at-Risk (VaR) as a risk measure has become increasingly important in Europe for financial institutions. But even though it has become an important risk measure, both internally within company reporting and externally due to legislation, there is no one single way to forecast VaR that has yet proven to be superior. The aim of this paper is to examine differen

In this study, the results from simulations of two sets of a 1/2 scale ISO room (ISO 9705) experiments are presented. In the experiments, heptane in a tray was burned in the middle of the room. Five models with various levels of complexity and geometric detail are used. The comparisons between simulations and experiments show that the fourth model provides the most accurate results with deviation
We've long focused on the green transition, discussing various systems emphasizing the technical aspects of transitioning our lives. Yet, as many people experience anxiety about climate change, other, more existential perspectives are rising to the surface. Questions such as What is a good life? becomes more pressing as we begin to feel the effects of climate change also in our part of the world.
Popular Abstract in English In the modern world of today, we are surrounded with many electronic devices which offer previously unseen performance. These devices constitute a large part of the everyday consumer electronics such as laptops, tablets, smart phones, etc., but are also used in wide variety of domains such as automotive industry, avionics, medicine, etc. The constant demand for high perIncreasing soft error rates in recent semiconductor technologies enforce the usage of fault tolerance. While fault tolerance enables correct operation in the presence of soft errors, it usually introduces a time overhead. The time overhead is particularly important for a group of computer systems referred to as real-time systems (RTSs) where correct operation is defined as producing the correct re
Under chapter 6 of the Parental Code (FB), custodians have a far-reaching responsibility for their children. This includes, for example, meeting the child's needs, a duty to exercise needed supervision, and taking appropriate measures to prevent the child from causing harm. Furthermore, custodians have both a right and duty to decide in questions concerning the child's personal matters. A
The use of participatory action research in media studies is under development and has the last years become notable as a new way of exploring changes that has taken place on the media market the last decades. Media corporations in Sweden continue shutting down local editorial offices and centralize local news reporting to the head editorials. An absence of local reporting in several rural areas i
During the past century China has increased its economic engagement in Zambia which has captured the attention of International Relations studies. The magnitude of Chinese economic linkages to Africa in terms of investment, trade and aid is nothing but of great importance at many levels in relation to its implication for the Zambian people (Morgan 2018). Soft power is often explained by the resear
Researchers have emphasized the child’s perspective within social science since the 1990’s which has resulted in a shift in the view of children within research towards the recognition that children are active, creative social agents in their own right. The main aim of this paper was to present methodological and ethical aspects regarding research with children on the basis of two propositions, th
Due to the recent financial turmoil we have noticed how exposed our financial situations are. Not only the financial market has been affected but also major socio-economic crises have risen as a result of the recession. Despite this, there is a willingness to take part in trading on the financial market. Considerable amount of money is involved in the securities market which makes it obvious that
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has during the recent years become a frequently used technique in radiotherapy. Lately IMRT has also been combined with rotational beam delivery, with a simultaneously moving couch, a technique called tomotherapy. The great benefit with this treatment method is the ability to give highly conformal treatments, with high dose to the tumour, while sparing
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea places states and the European Union under a legal duty to protect and preserve the marine environment set out in Part XII. When the European Union and its Member States implement international obligations, they are also under a duty to do that in accordance with the objectives, principles and approaches under Chapter 17 of Agenda 21. Furthermore
This thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories. These theories often presume what stage acting is about in order to use it as a simile for every day acting. My intention is to investigate how stage actors actually work with their roles, in particular how they work with emotions, and how it affects their privatThis thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories.

Postgraduate course IntroductionThe aim of the course is to introduce the PhD students to the Monte Carlo-methods for simulation of the interaction of photons and charged particles, which mainly apply to applications in image generation and dosimetry. The theory behind interactions of photon and charged particles (electrons and protons) will be examined in detail and with this, different type of m
