War has for a long time been fought at the expense of civilians. Depleted uranium has been one such object used in war that in the end would leave its mark on the civilian population and still today is the subject of discussions regarding its use. By using just war theory I will evaluate the American and British use of depleted uranium against the civilian populations of Iraq and former Yugoslavia

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the illegal Israeli settlements and extraordinary security measures in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Specifically, this study aims to answer the following questions: How do the illegal settlements relate to the extensive security measures employed by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory? What are the effects on the Pa

The development in Africa has for a long time been harmed because of its high corruption levels. During the last decades, Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) have increasingly flown into African states as an attempt to strengthen the societies. Therefore, this thesis has investigated what kind of impact FDI between 1975 and 2000 has had on corruption levels in Africa. Through a hypothesis testing

February 2011 began with demonstrations against Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya. It quickly escalated into a violent civil war. The actions of the UN and NATO have been widely discussed. The purpose of this essay is to examine the objectives behind the UN’s and NATO’s intervention in Libya. This will be done by applying Graham Allison’s organizational model to the case to test its explanatory power. T

This study aims to examine the liberal conservative ideology of the Swedish party Moderaterna and the disagreements within the party regarding profit driven free schools. Robert Wenglén is a local politician for Moderaterna who has got attention for his deviant opinion in relation to the party line. Wenglén argues that the current Swedish free school system is not in line with the school policy th

The rise of TikTok as one of the most popular social media platforms has created a new space for political debates, such as the debate surrounding abortion, to grow and evolve. In a politically polarized and divided society such as the United States, the impacts of new social media platforms are relatively unknown. Through an analysis of 40 videos posted to TikTok, this research paper has tracked

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most prevalent type of early-onset dementia and up to 40% of cases are familial forms. One of the genes mutated in patients is CHMP2B, which encodes a protein found in a complex important for maturation of late endosomes, an essential process for recycling membrane proteins through the endolysosomal system. Here, we have generated a CHMP2B-mutated human

Abstract Sweden has during a period of time undergone a transformation from a homogeneous society to a society with diversity and is today part of the world in a different way than before. In 2019, almost 20 percent of the population had their origins in another country and in another culture. In a welfare society like Sweden, which is based on the equal rights of all people, it is important t

In developing countries, the use of mathematical models in hydrological forecasting is increasing, making for optimal planning and management of water resources systems. Such application, however, faces different problems. One of these problems is that computers may not be available. Even if they are available, computer time is expensive. Hence, there is a need for simple models which can be run o

Understanding of electromagnetic propagation properties in real environments is necessary for efficient design and deployment of cellular systems. In this paper, we show a method to estimate high-resolution channel parameters with a massive antenna array in real network deployments. An antenna array mounted on a vehicle is used to receive downlink long-term evolution (LTE) reference signals from n

Opportunistic navigation using cellular signals is appealing for scenarios where other navigation technologies face challenges. In this paper, long-term evolution (LTE) downlink signals from two neighboring commercial base stations (BS) are received by a massive antenna array mounted on a passenger vehicle. Multipath component (MPC) delays and angle-of-arrival (AOA) extracted from the received sig

This paper presents a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) comprised of a cascode low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a reconfigurable Q-enhanced filter. Employing a dual-resonant input matching network, the LNA attains a significantly wide bandwidth. The filter consists of four Q-enhanced resonators enabling three modes of operation: 1) dual-band filter, 2) single band-pass filter (BPF) along with a tunabl

Syftet med denna uppsats är att få mer kunskap om violinkonserter genom att analysera Bachs violinkonsert i a-moll och Sjostakovitj första violinkonsert. Efter att ha studerat orkesterpartituren har jag kunnat få en djupare förståelse för strukturen och metoderna som används av dessa tonsättare.The aim of this project is to attain more knowledge about violin concertos, by analysing Bach’s violin concerto in A minor and Shostakovich’s first violin concerto. Through studying the orchestral scores of each piece I have been able to get a deeper understanding of the structure and methods being used by these composers.
