In the quest to find a ‘least cost solution’ for climate change mitigation that do not interfere with business-as-usual, carbon trading and PES schemes were introduced. PES schemes with carbon forestry projects are implemented in the Global South as a win-win-win tool for climate change mitigation and sustainable development. In this thesis, the Ugandan carbon forestry project Trees for Global Ben

At the IT department of IKEA, test specialists who are responsible for software testing are currently using a suite from Hewlett Packard called HP Application Lifecycle Management that includes an analysis tool for test result evaluation. During the implementation of this thesis work, the real world demand for a replacement of the analysis tool became apparent, as the interface of the analysis too

The Yellow River Basin Commission (YRCC) is struggling with demand and supply water imbalances due to inter-jurisdictional rivalries, and has consequently promoted the development of water rights trading to incentivize provinces from not exceeding their allocated withdrawals in the Yellow River Basin (YRB). This thesis employs the case of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to examine factors that facil

Numerical methods are the norm in modern structural engineering practice Models based on elasticity theory offer powerful methods to analyse complex structural behaviours and accurately predict probable deformation behaviour. Numerical methods in general and particularly finite element methods offer great numerical accuracy. Yet the tendency is that with increased accuracy come the downside of dec

Islamiska Staten har de senaste fem åren orsakat oerhört mycket smärta och sorg. Krigsförbrytelser, brott mot mänskligheten och folkmord ska ha begåtts i de områden rörelsen kontrollerat i Irak och Syrien. Nu när kalifatets sista fästen besegrats står det internationella samfundet inför en ny utmaning; hur och var ska de ansvariga individerna straffas? Vissa politiker har numera hävdat att en IS-tDuring the past five years, the Islamic State has been responsible for a large amount of pain and suffering. War crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide have been committed in the areas the group controlled in Iraq and Syria. Now as the Kalifate’s last strongholds have been defeated, the international community stands before a new task; how and where shall the individuals responsible be punis

Upprustning av vattenbottnar kan rädda ålen Många frågor står obesvarade när man pratar om ålen och dess komplexa livscykel, där ålen föds och leker i havet men växer upp i sötvatten runtom i Europa ända ner till Nordafrika. Dock vet vi svaret på frågan om huruvida dess bevarandestatus ser ut idag: ålen är akut utrotningshotad och är på väg att dö ut, och den behöver hjälp för att överleva. ÅlbeAnthropogenic activities have caused aquatic habitats both indirect and direct damage, where loss of benthic substrates may consequently decrease the possibility of aquatic organisms surviving within affected areas. Restoration measures with introduction of suitable bottom substrates might thus create better opportunities for aquatic species to thrive within targeted locations, including endangere

Problemformulering: Hur ser informationsflödet mellan leverantör och entreprenör ut och vilka icke värdeskapande aktiviteter finns idag kopplade till en bristfällig leveransplanering? Kan dessa aktiviteter reduceras med befintligt systemet eller finns önskemål att ändra eller ta fram en helt annan typ av system? Syfte: Att ge läsaren en god inblick i hur det arbetars med materialförsörjning på enProblem: This study examines problems in the Construction supply chain. Most industries have already included use of assistive technology in their daily work and I will research if it is possible to implement a system for delivery planning in the construction industry to reduce non-value adding activities. A system designed for construction delivery planning has been developed. In order to grow an

In a society where information is increasingly available through digital means, the performance of Swedish students is at a decline. The amount of students with access to their own computer and the internet is higher than any generation before them. Even though the amount of digital teaching tools increase rapidly many still lack the necessary quality to replace traditional teaching tools. An atte

Nowadays, multiple antennas are becoming widely used in small mobile terminals as they can significantly improve wireless communication performance in terms of link reliability and spectral efficiency. Also, pattern reconfiguration is another new trend for antenna design as it enables the antennas to adapt to different propagation and user scenarios. However, due to the limited space in the termin

Människan har sedan urminnes tider tittat upp mot himlen och försökt lista ut vår plats i Universum. Vi har kommit långt fram sedan tiderna man kartlade stjärnors positioner för hand, till att använda superdatorer till att simulera kosmisk historia. Just nu befinner vi oss i en era där stora resurser läggs ner på att studera vårt hem, vår galax, Vintergatan, i mycket större detalj än förr. En av dI investigate to what extent spiral arms might affect axisymmetric Galactic models. As we need fully dynamical and high resolution Galactic evolutionary models to probe the structure of the dark matter halo, it is important that we use accurate mass models describing the MW structure. Before reaching to that level of effort, a great deal can be learned from fitting mass and kinematic models to dat

Clarifying the mechanisms maintaining atrial activity during atrial fibrillation (AF), still remains as a relevant topic. The purpose of this master thesis is to apply correlation analysis and system identification methods to study spatial and temporal propagation of atrial activation along coronary sinus (situated in the posterior left part of the heart, in the groove between left atrium and left

In the European Union’s (EU) Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), free allocation of emissions allowances to avoid carbon leakage has resulted in a distorted pricing signal and a failure to reduce emissions in the most polluting industries. A Border Carbon Adjustment (BCA), a mechanism which would apply a tariff to imported goods based on their embedded carbon content, has been suggested as a solution.

Kryoelektronik är av allt större intresse inom många tillämpningar, exempelvis för utveckling av kvantdatorer. Detta arbete vill därför undersöka de effekter kryogeniska temperaturer (under 10 K) har på halvledarkomponenter och deras elektriska egenskaper. Särskilt intressant är effekten på subthreshold swing (SS). Normalt sätts SS teoretiska minimum av Boltzmanngränsen, som är linjär i temperaturCryoelectronics are of increasing interest to many applications, including the emerging field of quantum computing. Therefore, this thesis seeks to examine the effects of cryogenic temperatures (below 10 K) on semiconductor devices and their electrical properties. Especially of interest is the effect on subthreshold swing SS. Normally, the theoretical minimum of SS is set by the Boltzmann limit, w

Because of climate change, rising sea levels in Kristianstad Municipality is more urgent than ever. Sea levels around Scania are estimated to rise more than 2,5 meters in 80 years considering that they are currently rising with 3,2 mm per year. This can lead to erosion and more frequent floods, which in turn can alter beach areas and nearby housing. Kristianstad has an excessive risk of being affe

Denna uppsats undersöker blockkedjeteknologin utifrån dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR). Fokusområdet är skydd av personuppgifter på blockkedjor. Blockkedjeteknologin kan sammanfattas som en delad, distribuerad liggare där information endast kan läggas till, inte tas bort. Tekniken är ett sätt att skapa tillit, och har i förlängningen potentialen att ta bort behovet av mellanhänder. Från ett juridiskThis thesis examines the blockchain technology from a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) point of view. The focus area is the protection of personal data in blockchains. Blockchain can be summarized as a shared, decentralized ledger where data can only be added, not removed. In essence, it works like a trust-creator that has the potential to remove the need for middlemen. From a legal pers
