Characterization of Higher Order Modes in the MAX IV Active 100 MHz Cavities

In circular accelerators, and in storage rings in particular, charged particles are kept in a closed orbit for a very long time by means of a magnet lattice. When the particle beam is bent by the magnetic field it emits light, which decreases the particle beam energy by an amount equal to the radiated energy. Over many bends in the magnets and many turns in the machine, these relatively small ener

Do Scandals Affect YOU as an Athletic Sportswear Consumer?

Athletic sportswear brands endorse celebrity-athletes to promote the brand’s image and gain credibility by having these ‘experts’ associated with their brand. This marketing technique is often advantageous for sportswear companies. However, there may be liabilities and complications for the brand if the endorsed athlete becomes involved in a scandal. The two main purposes of this thesis are to ass

Automatic creation of schematic maps : a case study of the railway network at the Swedish Transport Administration

Idag vill man effektivisera användningen av geografiska informationssystem (GIS), vilket uppmuntrar järnvägsförvaltningarna att centralisera sina data. Därför hämtar de både geografiska och schematiska framställningar från samma databas. Men, en svårighet som möter Trafikverket är att olika representationer (geografiska och schematiska) måste uppdateras separat, vilket innebär större kostnader ochToday, efficient use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) encourages the railways administrations to centralize their data. Therefore, they extract both geographical and schematic representations from the same database. But, one difficulty which is encountered by the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), is that different representations (geographical and schematic) have to be upda

Mellanskarven (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) i Krankesjön - Analys av långtidserier av skarvförekomster och fisksamhällets utveckling i kombination med bytesval

Mellanskarven - oskyldigt dömd? För att dömas skyldig i Sverige ska det vara bortom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalande gjort sig skyldig till brottet. Mellanskarven (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) har på många håll runt om i Europa påståtts ligga bakom förändringar i fisksamhällen och ett försämrat fiske. I Krankesjön förefaller det saknas brottsoffer. Mellanskarven är en fågel som har ökat i anThis study analyzed highly detailed long-term information about occurrence of cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and the fish community composition in lake Krankesjön, southern Sweden. Moreover, cormorant predation with regards to species and size preference were estimated using data from recovered PIT (Passive Integrated Transponders) tags. The results shows that the cormorant population h

Spatially varying parameters in observed new particle formation events

Det globala klimatet påverkas av strålningsbalansen i atmosfären. Strålningsbalansen påverkas av ett antal faktorer och bland annat aerosolpartiklar. Hur stor påverkan aerosolpartiklarna har är osäkert och det är något som det forskas mycket om i nuläget. Partiklarna som finns i atmosfären har många olika källor, de kommer från bland annat industriell verksamhet, trafiken, vulkanutbrott men också Aerosol particles affect the global climate due to its influence on the scattering and absorption of short-wave and long-wave radiation. The extent of the influence of aerosol particles on the climate varies a lot by time and space, and needs to be quantified. One of the most important natural sources of atmospheric particles is new particle formation (NPF). However, the contribution of NPF events

Områdesfaktorers inverkan på hyresutvecklingen för kommersiella lokaler

Hyran för kommersiella lokaler regleras utifrån principen om marknadshyra, vilken sätts av ingående kontrakt mellan hyresvärd och hyresgäst. Hyresavtalen beror vanligtvis på lokalens fastighetsanknutna attribut och medför givetvis att hyresnivåerna kommer att skilja sig åt mellan varje enskilt kontrakt. Förfarandet vid avtalsupprättande är välbeprövat och finns reglerat i Jordabalken (1979:994). SThe rents for commercial premises are regulated by the principle of market rent, which are set by contracts between landlords and tenants. The leases typically depends on the property related attributes and naturally means that rental levels will differ between each individual contract. However, according to the Swedish property indicator, the general rent levels of commercial stores and offices,

MicroRNAs targeting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1

Cancer, samlingsnamnet på ett antal sjukdomar med okontrollerad cellväxt, är idag väldigt vanligt förekommande i vårt samhälle. Det finns olika typer av cancer, som alla uppvisar olika symptom, men som ändå har gemensamma kännetecken. En av dessa är hur cancercellerna skapar sin energi vilket, precis som i friska celler, börjar med att sockermolekylen glukos genomgår ett antal reaktioner för att sCancer, a group of diseases with abnormal cell growth, is today very common in our society. There are different forms of cancer, which all display different symptoms, but still have mutual characteristics. One such is the way cancer cells create energy which, like healthy cells, starts with glycolysis of glucose to pyruvate. In healthy cells, with sufficient oxygen supply, the enzyme pyruvate dehy

Implementering av klimatanpassningsåtgärder med samverkan och deltagande

Effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen har visat sig på alla kontinenter och i Sverige har det blivit både varmare och blötare. Risker som kopplas till klimatförändringar i Sverige är torka, värmevågor och översvämningar och dessa risker måste hanteras på alla samhällsnivåer av flera olika aktörer.

Human identity: an analysis of human self-identification by observing the other in Doris Lessing's On Cats

The focus of this essay is the process of human self-identification in the human-cat relationship as narrated in On Cats by Doris Lessing. The concept of ‘narrative’, understood in the sense that it assigns meaning by connecting events and experiences, has allowed for an analysis of the meaningful connections in the interaction between the two species. By employing the philosophical term of ‘the O

Moving from vulnerability to capability : the role of social capital for disaster risk and resilience

Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p

Object Restrictions after Cartes Bancaires and Consequences for Agreements in Need to Benefit from the “Safe Harbour” of the De Minimis Notice

Some practices are seen as so serious and damaging to competition that they are presumed to have restrictive effects on competition. Having a category of restrictions that are forbidden benefits both companies, as it creates legal certainty, and the Commission which would not not have to go through a burdensome investigation. In recent decades, the interpretation of restriction by object has cause
