Wavelet theory, which shares fundamental concepts with windowed Fourier analysis, introduces the notion of scale in an effort to aid in joint time-frequency analysis. Having century-old roots, much of the essential research on the subject of wavelets was conducted during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite being a rather young toolset, wavelets have shown to be very useful when studying signals with tran
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to provide a contribution to the research body regarding consumer returns, particularly within the online fashion retail industry. A quantitative data analysis approach is chosen and two main methods are used: data study that aims to identify patterns and interesting relationships in the data, and a simulation study that uses real input data to attempt to ide
Den 1 januari 2019 skedde en lagändring av föräldrabalken med syftet att fastställa föräldraskap för transpersoner. Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för den nuvarande rättsliga regleringen av föräldraskap för personer som ändrat könstillhörighet. Istället för att införa könsneutrala regler för föräldraskap så lägger man till nya regler när samhället förändras. Den komplicerade utformningenOn 1st January 2019 an amendment was made to the Children and Parents Code, which aims to determine legal parenthood for transgender people. The purpose of this essay is to describe the current regulations of parenthood for people who have changed their gender. Instead of setting up gender neutral regulations of parenthood, new rules are added with the changing of society. The complicated design o
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to find out how the PMM system can be used to remain resilient to a change in the environment and so continue to provide appropriate guidance to managers in real time. Methodology: The paper is based on a qualitative research method with primarily an abductive approach to derive insight about a PMM system’s use to remain resilient to a change in the environment.
Recently, several regions in southern Sweden suffered extremely low groundwater levels following a long-term infrequency in rainfall. In response, irrigation was banned in many of the affected municipalities during 2016–2017, amongst which Mörbylånga municipality was one. Because nearly half of the nation’s drinking water is extracted from groundwater, protecting and managing this vital resource i
The European Union has proved to be unable to efficiently deal with the refugee crisis that is devastating Middle East since 2011. The problem grew bigger in 2014 and 2015, when Syrian migrants illegally entered some frontier Member States, forcing the European Union to introduce a new relocation mechanism that is far from being more effective than previous solutions. To address this distributiona
Som ett första steg i uppsåtsbedömningen har domstolar att avgöra om den tilltalade varit i tillräcklig grad medveten om sitt handlande. Det så kallade medvetenhetskravet är omdiskuterat i både rättspraxis och doktrin, men handlar i grunden om att söka avgöra om gärningspersonen varit i ett sådant tillstånd att hen haft en basal grundförståelse för sammanhanget och omgivningen vari gärningen To be able to examine the defendant’s intent the court initially must determine if the defendant has been conscious to the degree where they were aware of their actions. This first step, known as the consciousness requirement (medvetenhetskravet), has been heavily discussed in both court practice and doctrine for many years. Essentially the court must decide whether the defendant was in a state of
The aim of this study is to investigate the results of the projects funded by the European Social Fund (ESF). The European Union is comitted to creating more and better jobs and a social inclusive society. The ESF is the main instrument to fulfil this. Every year the ESF is funding thousands of projects across the European Union on local, regional and national level and in this thesis, I am going
Ett kopplingsförbehåll är en typ av missbruk av dominerande ställning som ett dominant företag kan använda sig av för att förvränga konkurrensen och för-svåra etableringen av konkurrerande företag på en marknad. Förfarandet be-står i att man tvingar en kund som vill köpa en produkt att också köpa en an-nan produkt eller tjänst. Det finns andra fördelar än strikt konkurrensmässiga att använda ett sTying is a type of abuse of a dominant position that a dominant company can use to distort competition and obstruct the creation of competing companies in a market. The procedure consists of forcing a customer who wants to buy a product to also buy another product or service. There are other advantages than strictly competitive to use such a procedure. When the assessment is to be made if an act i
Climate change, the energy crisis of 2022-2023, and estimations of future electricity demands have stressed the necessity for a rapid transition of the energy system. Offshore wind energy plays an important role in this transition, and is expected to expand considerably on a global level, in the EU and in Sweden. While Swedes show high support of wind energy, a majority of recent projects have bee
Biomanipulation, i.e. to reduced planktivorous- and benthivorous fish in order to receive changes in the trophic structure has been a successful method to improve water quality and the ecological status in eutrophic lakes. The initial idea was to increase the abundance of large zooplankton and thus to cause a trophic cascade with reduced algal biomass. Many studies failed to observe an increase of
Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka skadeståndsansvaret för sakskada på lös egendom som glömts kvar eller tappats i en näringsidkares affärslokaler av en person som har eller har haft ett avtal med näringsidkaren för att utnyttja hans tjänster. För att kunna uppfylla det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen utgick jag från följande frågeställningar: - Under vilka förutsättningar kan en näringsidkThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the liability for property damage which has been inflicted on personal property belonging to a private person which is left behind or has gotten lost in premises belonging to a businessman, when the owner has or has had a contract with the businessman concerning his services. In order to meet the overall objective of this paper, I formulated the following q
BACKGROUND: The long-term course of coronary atherosclerosis has not been studied in large nationwide cohorts. Understanding the natural history of coronary atherosclerosis could help identify patients at risk for future coronary events. METHODS AND RESULTS: All coronary artery segments with <50% luminal stenosis in patients with a first-time coronary angio-gram between 1989 and 2017 were identifi
Background: Two risk factors for severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely preterm infants are thrombocytopenia and low levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). To date, these risk factors have not been linked. Method: Infants born < 28 weeks gestational age (GA) from 2016 to 2019 were randomized to postnatal enteral AA/DHA supplementation or standard care (contro
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) involves treatment re-planning based on anatomical changes, which may improve target coverage and sparing of organs-at-risk (OARs). This study retrospectively assessed the technical feasibility and potential benefits of daily ART in combination with reduced planning target volume (PTV) margins for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).MAT
The EU Biodiversity strategy aims to plant 3 billion trees by 2030, in order to improve ecosystem restoration and biodiversity. Here, we compute the land area that would be required to support this number of newly planted trees by taking account of different tree species and planting regimes across the EU member states. We find that 3 billion trees would require a total land area of between 0.81 a
Öresund is a very dynamic economic area with numerous projects, there is a great need of a deeper understanding of the wave climate. The wave measurements currently available are scarce and they do not cover the whole area. For this reason, a modeled wave climate would be of interest and the results could be a starting point for different in depth analysis. The objective of this study was to prod
