The elephant in the courtroom is a metaphor for the overt problem facing the human rights discourse concerning the reluctance to recognize rights beyond the human animal. The growing global development of animal rights law in both the legislature and the judiciary of many jurisdictions, exposes the ethical dilemma of human rights that has been the defining characteristic of codified rights since t

The main objective of this thesis is to present the article "An estimate of the condition number of a matrix", written by Cline et.al., which describes an algorithm for obtaining a reliable order of magnitude estimate of the condition number of a matrix in O(n^2) operations. In addition, the thesis introduces an iterative process for estimating the condition number in the 2-norm with arb

For the next 40 years, a rate of 3% of the European building stock per year needs to be renovated in order to meet the carbon and economic goals set out in the European Economic Recovery Plan. This puts high demands on the accuracy level of energy simulations software for predicting the energy need for retrofitted buildings. However, in most cases the simulated energy need does not correspond with

Organiska kemister ägnar sig åt kemin som rör kolatomer (d.v.s. atomerna som är grundbulten som bygger upp alla de otroligt komplicerade molekyler som gör att du, jag och allt annat levande på vår planet kan fungera som de gör!) och molekyler som får mycket av sin struktur av dessa. Mycket av den organiska kemistens arbete består idag av att få molekyler av kolatomer och några andra slags atomer A novel strategy for the synthesis of indolines, using a reaction between vinyl epoxide and 2-iodoaniline, followed by cyclisation by intramolecular Heck coupling, have been investigated. Synthesis of an indoline was not completed. Synthesis of an eight-membered, cyclical vinyl epoxide as substrate was unsuccessful. Reaction between 2-iodoaniline and terminal epoxide appear to lack region-specific

Flera dammkonstruktioner i Norden utsätts för stora temperaturvariationer mellan sommar och vinter. I norra Sverige kan dammar vara utsatta för temperaturvariationer på upp emot 60–70 °C. Detta resulterar ofta i sprickbildning i betongen vilket medför utmaningar vid både utformning av nya dammar och underhåll av befintliga. Säsongmässiga temperaturvariationer är den dominerande orsaken till spricDams located in the Nordic countries are subjected to large temperature variations between summer and winter. In the northern part of Sweden dams are subjected to temperature variations of up to 60-70 °C. This often results in cracking of the concrete and causes challenges in the design of new dams as well as maintenance of existing dams. Seasonal temperature variation has been found to be the do

This project started out with the brief to ”create something based on two opposites, working together”, and resulted in a three piece kitchen set, based on different opposite pairs. A ligh and heavy mortar and pestle, a smooth and rough cutting board/grater, and a round and square citrus press. The process consisted of exploring the form and function of these opposites, as well as a visual expres

This thesis addresses the lack of consideration of Instagram as an online brand community. The aim is to explore consumption activities and motives regarding the artisan food brand on Instagram. It also seeks to investigate the idea of craft products and its influence on consumers' consumption choices and activities, including the concept of craft consumption. A netnographic approach is the ma

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the underlying reasons that drive consumers, belonging to a particular consumption style, to engage in paradoxical consumption practices and attempt to explain these practices. For the purpose of this study, the non-static hipster youth style was used as the empirical example of a postmodern consumption style. Methodology This study is based on e
