We present recent results in the field of total binding energy calculations, Landщ factors, quantum electrodynamics corrections and lifetime that are of interest for ion traps and ion sources. We describe in detail MCDF and RMBPT calculation of ionic binding energies, which are needed for the determination of atomic masses from highly charged ion measurements. We also show new results concerning L

Diplomonads are anaerobic, flagellated protists, being part of the Metamonada group of Eukaryotes. Diplomonads either live as endobionts (parasites and commensals) of animals or free-living in low-oxygen environments. Genomic information is available for parasitic diplomonads like Giardia intestinalis and Spironucleus salmonicida, while little is known about the genomic arrangements of free-living

Climate change and the resulting warming caused by human activities, such as releasing greenhouse gases (GHG), notably carbon dioxide (CO2), are paramount concerns in the contemporary era. Therefore, it is essential to understand spatial and temporal variations of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (XCO2) on national and international scales and the role of controlling variables. This resear

The paper deals with the effects that robot adoption in a country may generate in other trade-related countries. We concentrate on the Top 5 European economies as robot adopters over the period from 1995 to 2018 (Italy, Germany, France, Spain, UK) by testing whether robot adoption affects employment dynamics also beyond borders. To reach this goal we develop a composite indicator that captures bot

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have significant potential for disease modeling and cell therapies. However, their wide-spread application has faced challenges, including batch-to-batch variabilities, and notable distinctions when compared to embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Some of these disparities can stem from using undefined culture conditions and the reprogramming procedure, however, the

The genetic contributions to early onset heart failure (HF) are incompletely understood. Genetic testing in advanced HF patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTx) may yield clinical benefits, but data is limited. We performed deep-coverage whole genome sequencing (WGS) in 102 Swedish HTx recipients. Gene lists were compiled through a systematic literature review. Variants were prioritized for

Ungdomsreduktionen i 29 kap. 7 § brottsbalken som innebär straffnedsättning för unga lagöverträdare vid straffmätning har under de senaste åren varit under omfattande förändring i straffskärpande riktning. Utvecklingen bryter mot en tradition av mildare straff för unga. Unga har länge särbehandlats straffrättsligt men detta har i större omfattning börjat ifrågasättas, då särbehandlingen kan anses The reduced sentence for juveniles in Chapter 29, Section 7 of the Swedish Penal Code, which entails a reduced sentence for young offenders at the meting out of punishment has in recent years undergone significant changes in a more severe direction. The development marks a departure with a tradition of more lenient punishment for young offenders. Juveniles have long been treated differently in cri

Att bära ett kristet kors runt halsen, en muslimsk huvudduk eller judisk kippa på huvudet är exempel på religiösa manifestationer som arbetsgivaren kan förbjuda genom att införa en neutralitetspolicy, och detta har varit återkommande anledning till debatt i Sverige under de senaste åren. Frågan om neutralitetspolicyer, och arbetsgivarpolicyer i stort, har satt svenska arbetsgivare i en svår situatTo wear a Christian cross around the neck, an Islamic headscarf or a Jewish kippah on the head are examples of religious manifestations which an employer may prohibit through a neutrality policy, and this has been a recurring cause for debate in Sweden in recent years. The question of neutrality policies, and employer policies in general, has put Swedish employers in a difficult situation due to t

Brottet hedersförtryck infördes i brottsbalken 2022. Enligt 4 kap. 4 e § BrB döms den som begår brottsliga gärningar enligt 3 eller 4 kap., 5 kap. 1 eller 2 §, 6 eller 12 kap. BrB eller enligt 24 § lagen (1988:688) om kontaktförbud mot en person med motiv att bevara eller återupprätta en persons eller familjs, släkts eller annan liknande grupps heder om var och en av gärningarna utgjort led i en uHonour oppression was introduced into the Swedish penal code in 2022. Anyone who commits criminal acts as defined in Chapters 3 or 4, Chapter 5, Sections 1 or 2, Chapters 6 or 12 of the Penal Code or under Section 24 of the Non-Contact Orders Act (1988:688), against another person with the motive of preserving or reestablishing the honour of a family, a larger group of relations or another similar

In response to the attacks carried out by the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea and the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the European Union has been using restrictive and coercive measures potentially violating international law. Since the Draft Articles on the Responsibility of International Organisations do not offer any provisions on the use of countermeasures by international organsiations ag

The newly adopted Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD) necessitates companies operating on the internal market of the Eu-ropean Union to incorporate a risk-management regime to account for their businesses’ effects on, inter alia, human rights. To the backdrop of an increasing fragmentation of laws on the internal market, CSDDD introduces obligations for companies to identif

Uppsatsen undersöker om brottmålsprocessens försonande funktion kan ges ett konkret uttryck inom ramen för gällande rätt, genom att beakta medling som ett billighetsskäl för vuxna lagöverträdare. Traditionellt lyfts sökandet efter den materiella sanningen, tillsammans med rättssäkerhet och brottsbekämpning, fram som kärnan i brottmålsprocessen. Enligt doktrin och SOU 2013:17 har brottmålsprocesseThis thesis examines whether the reconciliatory function of the criminal procedure can be given concrete expression within the framework of current Swedish law, by recognizing mediation as a sentence mitigating factor for adult offenders. Traditionally, the pursuit of material truth, legal certainty and crime prevention are regarded as the core purposes of the criminal procedure. According to leg

Brukaranalyser, eller analyser med syfte att identifiera och framlägga bevis för vem som använt viss enhet eller något som anses anslutet till viss enhet under viss tid, är numera vanligt förekommande i brottmålsprocessen. Alltjämt föreligger dock utrymme för diskussion kring användningen av bevismedlet. Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är därav att analysera och problematisera hur brukaranalUser analysis, an analysis carried out with the aim of identifying and providing evidence of who used a particular device, or something considered to be connected to a particular device over a certain period of time, is often presented as evidence in the Swedish criminal procedure. However, there is still room for discussion regarding the usage of such evidence. Therefore, general aim of this thes

Uppsatsen behandlar hur skadebegränsningsplikten ska tillämpas vid personskador. Skadebegränsningsplikten är en etablerad allmän rättsprincip som medför att en skadelidande ska vidta rimliga åtgärder för att begränsa sin skada. Principen åberopas ofta av skadevållare och försäkringsbolag, men dess tillämpning vid personskador är inte helt klarlagd. Det saknas relevanta domstolsavgöranden och rättsThis thesis examines how the duty to mitigate loss should be applied in personal injury cases. The duty is a well-established legal principle requiring the injured party to take reasonable steps to limit their damage. While often invoked by defendants and insurers, its application to personal injury remains underdeveloped, with limited case law and much of the legal development occurring through b

In Vietnam, household food waste is increasing due to changing consumption patterns and urbanization. While technological innovations in food packaging, such as intelligent packaging, have the potential to reduce food waste, their success depends on consumer acceptance. This study explores Vietnamese consumers' perceptions of intelligent packaging as a tool for food waste prevention and factor

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global economy, and I want to know whether China, as one of the world’s major economies, has chosen to sacrifice environmental resources for economic development during the post-pandemic era. By combining social factors and natural environmental factors, I established a model of the air quality changing trends among China’s major cities. According to comparis

This thesis investigates the emergence of mid-term rentals (MTRs) in Barcelona, situating them within broader political economy debates on housing financialization, assetization, and rent extraction. MTRs operate in a legal grey zone between long-term tenancy protections and short-term tourist rental laws, and have expanded rapidly in the context of digital nomadism and post-COVID mobility. While s

This research analyzes the climate adaptation strategy of Copenhagen, focusing on cloudburst (rain-based) flooding and the use of infrastructure to mitigate damage. This strategy is analyzed through document analysis and structured interviews, using a theoretical framework of political ecology and urban green assemblages. This framework focuses analysis on the role of actors (human and non-human)

De flesta betalar nog ränta på ett eller annat sätt, kanske genom ett bolån eller ett kreditkort. Många tror nog att det är banken sätter räntan, men i själva verket är den resultatet av ett komplext, dynamiskt och slumpmässigt system. Idag finns dessutom ränteprodukter som gör det möjligt att binda räntan flera gånger om året. Dessa produkter handlas så pass sällan, och till så stora belopp, att This Master’s Thesis showcases two new time dependent calibration methods for the mean reversion parameter in the one-factor Hull-White model and evaluates their performance by hedging of a Bermudan swaption. The model is calibrated to market-implied swaption volatilities using a time-varying volatility approach. Particular emphasis is placed on a rigorous mathematical derivation of the model and
