Recent years have proven the benefits of electrifying the road bound vehicle fleet. With new components entering, the general understanding as well as the components as such needs to be improved. Focus in the thesis is on the design of an electric machine based on specifications of requirements for a commercial heavy vehicle such as a truck or a bus. One strict requirement is that the machine has

We propose a conceptual model to explain the variation in species richness in local communities and in build-up of regional species pools over time. The idea is that the opportunity for new species to enter a community (its invasibility) determines the present richness of that community as well as the long-term build-up of a species pool by speciation and migration. We propose that a community's i

The free energy of interaction between two nanometric clay platelets immersed in an electrolyte solution has been calculated using Monte Carlo simulations as well as direct integration of the configurational integral. Each platelet has been modeled as a collection of charged spheres carrying a unit charge-the face of a platelet contains negative charges, and the edge, positive charges. The calcula

In March 2020, the higher education sector was massively disrupted by [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19. While most universities run online programmes successfully informed by a wealth of research into online learning and teaching, many universities focus their energy and resources on educating and interacting with students on-campus. The technological changes of the past two decades have enable

Lead-free layered double perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), i.e., Cs4M(II)M(III)2Cl12, have recently attracted increasing attention for potential optoelectronic applications due to their low toxicity, direct bandgap nature, and high structural stability. However, the low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, <1%) or even no observed emissions at room temperature have severely blocked the further deve

The Membership of the European Union, brings along guidelines for national tax provisions, securing the freedoms of movement which exists within the European Community. It is above all the four fundamental freedoms of the EC Treaty, the freedom of movement of goods, service, capital and labour which aim to secure removal of obstacles and safeguard the free movement within the inner market of the C

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ur ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv redogöra för och diskutera framväxten av det internationella brottet folkmord (genocide). Raphael Lemkin myntade 1944 begreppet genocide. Han hade då också en genomtänkt definition av vad begreppet behövde innebära för att omfatta de illdåd som utförs i världen. Bakgrunden till hans engagemang grundade sig i det turkiskottomanska

The implementation of iris scan technology in the context of humanitarian financial assistance in UNHCR-run refugee camps raises an array of legal questions. While the collection and storage of biometrical data in other contexts is often accompanied by a critical discussion about data protection and privacy concerns, the use of such data in humanitarian settings is often left uncontested. The in-d

Kärnvapen är i allra högsta grad kraftfulla militära och politiska vapen. På grund av detta är frågan om dess legalitet i internationell rätt sedan länge omdebatterad. När frågan ställdes inför den internationella domstolen myntades ett nytt begrepp; ”statlig överlevnad”. Domstolens användning av begreppet väckte frågan om statlig överlevnad utgör ett exceptionellt undantag som kan rättfärdiga vå

Decision trees constructed by ID3-like algorithms suffer from an inability of detecting instances of categories not present in the set of training examples, i.e., they are discriminative representations. Instead, such instances are assigned to one of the classes actually present in the training set, resulting in undesired misclassifications. In this report, twomethods of reducing this problemby le

Scania, the dangerous peninsula. History, identity and ideology 1865 to 2000 This dissertation deals with the organized written history of Scania 1865 to 2000 and the intersection of history, identity and ideology. Under what circumstances were the history produced and circulated? What was its significance for identity and ideology alike? The theoretical and analytical inspiration is drawn from P

The Yiddish language is over 1,000 years old and incorporates German, Slavic, and Hebrew elements. The prevalent view claims Yiddish has a German origin, whereas the opposing view posits a Slavic origin with strong Iranian and weak Turkic substrata. One of the major difficulties in deciding between these hypotheses is the unknown geographical origin of Yiddish speaking Ashkenazic Jews (AJs). An an
