Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) is commonly used to measure the lifetime of fluorescence from dye molecules. In TCSPC, the sample is excited by a pulsed laser and the arrival time of each of the emitted photons at the detector relative to a trigger is recorded. An important criterion of the technique is that the excitation intensity of the laser has to be low enough such that the de
Swedish law only permits termination due to breach of contract when the committed breach is fundamental. To assess the fundamentality of a breach of contract is no easy mission. The main purpose of this study is to clarify the legal meaning of the concept of fundamental breach as a prerequisite in Swedish law for terminating a commercial contract. This study thoroughly focuses on the assessments o
Vi har studerat en matematisk modell för ett Bose-Einstein kondensat bestående av två komponenter. Gasen är uppbyggd av bosoner, t.ex. fotoner eller atomer som har en jämn summa av protoner, neutroner och elektroner. Denna typ av gas uppvisar en del intressanta egenskaper vid väldigt låga temperaturer nära den absoluta nollpunkten, främst att den är superflytande, vilket upptäcktes redan 1938 i flA Bose-Einstein condensate is a type of gas consisting of one or more types of particles called bosons which are cooled to a temperature very close the absolute zero. Under these conditions the particles all start to occupy their lowest quantum state. Once in these states it is necessary to use quantum physics to describe the behaviour of the particles by the means of a wave function which describ
Vet du hur planeterna i vårt solsystem kom att kretsa p\å sina nuvarande avstånd från solen? Inte? Var inte orolig, det vet inte jag heller och inte ens astronomer som studerar planetformation vet riktigt säkert. Det finns dock astronomer som lever än i dag som kanske inte alltid hade svarat nej på den frågan, då man för bara ett par årtionden sedan trodde att planeterna formades och utvecklades iTwo relatively new concepts in planetary science are planetary migration; wherein the planets migrate through the protoplanetary disk as they form, and pebble accretion; wherein the planetesimals which become terrestrial planets and giant planet cores grow through the accretion of small pebbles. Planetary migration has become a generally accepted concept but there is still much to be learned even
Natural events that happen more rarely have historically been more difficult to study and continue to require different methods. For example, rare occurrences of natural disasters and weather events can have return periods of thousands of years but because of their large impact are very important to study. In addition to being used to study the changing climate, climate models have the advantage o
Sverige införde år 2009 bestämmelsen kontakt med barn i sexuella syften i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel paragraf 10 a som kriminaliserar möte med barn i sexuellt syfte, s.k. grooming. Bestämmelsen tillkom två år efter att Sveriges dittills största nätsexhärva, målet mot ”Alexandramannen”, hade avgjorts i Hovrätten över Skåne och Blekinge. Under de åtta år som bestämmelsen har funnits har antalet laIn 2009 Sweden introduced a legislation named contact with children for sexual purposes in the sixth chapter, section 10 a in the Swedish Penal Code, criminalizing grooming. The provision followed two years after the judgement from the Court of Appeal of Skåne and Blekinge over the “Alexandra man” case, the then biggest child sex exploitation case in Sweden. During the eight years of existence of
The harvest mouse Micromys minutus has, through nest findings, been documented to live in wetlands in tall sedges and grasses in Central Europe. However, there is very little information on the type of habitat this species uses outside of nesting, because this rodent is difficult to capture in ordinary trapping set-ups. In France and Switzerland, the harvest mouse populations have decreased strong
The long coherence times of the 4f hyperfine levels of rare-earth-ions gives the possibility to use these as quantum computation devices. Moreover after being doped into a crystal the strong dipole-dipole interaction can be utilized to entangle them. Much work has been done here in Lund to attain as many of the DiVincenzo criteria as possible. At the moment work is being done in the creation of a
This thesis looks into the political discourse surrounding the doping scandal that has developed in Russian sport over the last two years. The paper hypothesizes that because of the importance of nationalism and Russia’s great power status, the Putin regime has, despite publicly stating the opposite, actively contributed to the further politicization of sport by returning to a sport discourse clos
This thesis investigates the under-researched relationship between open innovation (OI) and organisational learning (OL). It addresses questions on how design agencies (DAs) (as a form of inbound OI) influence their client company’s OL process. It also considers the main barriers companies face at each stage of the OL process and how these barriers impact OL. To start, the literature on OI, DAs
During the Secret War in Laos, 1964-1973, the United States dropped approximately 2 million tons of bombs in Laos. However, 30% of the employed bombs failed to detonate. It is estimated that 78 million unexploded ordance (UXO) still contaminate the land of Laos. This paper therefore aims to explore how UXO affect the possibilities for the rural population in Houamoung district to attain a sustaina
Digitalisation has had a profound effect on our society. Much of our daily lives revolve around digital errands that, providing we have the appropriate skills, provide us with innumerous conveniences. Unfortunately for those who do not have such competencies, these normal everyday tasks have become unmanageable and as a result of the McDonaldization of society there are very few places to which th
Avancerad bildanalys ger förståelse för skadade meniskers beteende under belastning En uppfriskande joggingtur i skogen kan lätt förvandlas till något annat om man inte har styr på benen. Den stötdämpande menisken är en liten men ack så viktig struktur i knät som tyvärr också är känslig för skador och sjukdom. Ett nyligen utfört projekt har med hjälp av 3D-bilder tagna under belastning av meniskpThe knee menisci distribute and dampen mechanical loads. Vulnerability to injury and disease of the meniscus is a global issue, particularly concerning osteoarthritis. The connection between the breakdown of meniscal tissue and its mechanical response is not entirely understood. This thesis seeks to contribute to filling this knowledge gap by developing and implementing a digital volume correlatio
Av allt att döma kommer klimatet i världen och Sverige att bli varmare under överskådlig framtid, med konsekvenser som till stor del inte upplevts tidigare i nordliga länder. Mer intensiva och längre värmeböljor kommer att bli ett vanligare fenomen, och med det behöver svenska kommuner vara förberedda för effekterna. I och med att kommunerna ansvarar för mycket av den byggda miljön och informationBy all accounts, the global climate as well as the Swedish climate will become warmer for the foreseeable future, with consequences that have largely not been experienced before in northern countries. More intense and longer heat waves will become a more common phenomenon, and with that, Swedish municipalities need to be prepared for the effects. As municipalities are responsible for much of the b
Tidiga bevis-reformen genomfördes 1 januari 2022, vilket innebar en modernisering av processrätten. Bland annat infördes en ny lagregel, 35:15 RB. Bestämmelsen medförde nya möjligheter att tillåta uppspelning av videoförhör som bevis inför rätten, något som tidigare varit möjligt enbart under vissa förutsättningar. Således innebar lagändringen en uppluckring i bevisomedelbarhetsprincipen, vilket äA reform on Swedish procedural law was implemented on 1 January 2022. Among other things, a new legal on evidence rule was introduced in The Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, chapter 35, sector 15 (35:15 RB). The provision brought new opportunities to allow the playback of video interrogations as evidence before the court, something that had previously only been possible under certain conditions
Grön vätgas har lagts fram som en lösning på en av vår tids största utmaningar: Att klara av världens energiförsörjning samtidigt som de fossila bränslena avvecklas. Framför allt i sektorer som industriell kemikalieproduktion och långdistans-transport, där övergången till förnybar elektricitet är svårare. Grön vätgas produceras genom elektrolys, där en elektrisk ström driver den annars icke-spontaDue to increasing global energy demands and a need to move away from non-renewable energy sources, green hydrogen is now being considered as a possible replacement for fossil-based energy sources. Especially in “hard-to-abate” sectors, such as steel and petrochemical production, and long-distance transport, where the change to renewable electricity is more difficult. Green hydrogen is produced thr
Female entrepreneurs have been reported to choose self-employment for a variety of reasons, such as the flexibility of combining work and childcare. However, paradoxically female entrepreneurs may face double-bind situation where they are responsible for their business and are primary care givers of the family. Family farming is considered to be a very masculine occupation and the rural agricultur
It is important to the recruitment company that only quality candidates, and the candidates most likely to receive an offer of employment get short-listed to go through the carriers selection process. It is this second phase of the recruitment process, the short-listing of potential candidates, that will be the focus of this thesis. Data has being gathered by the recruitment company through an i
The 4th Industrial Revolution provides a window of opportunity for the developing world and in particular, Sub-Saharan Africa to catch-up in terms of social and economic development by enhancing growth through technological advances. At the same time, it bears the risk for Sub-Saharan Africa to fall even further behind if technological advances cannot be absorbed into the region’s economies. Altho
