The global transition to renewable energies is increasingly driven by wind energy, which now experiences its biggest growth in the emerging and developing countries. The development of large-scale wind farms raises concerns over often neglected territorial and social dimensions of wind energy development – important issues in areas like the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, southern Mexico, where indigenous

In this master's thesis a fully automated method is presented for seg- menting bones and cartilage in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. The knee joint is the most complex joint in the human body and supports the weight of the whole body. This complexity and acute task of the knee joint leads to a disabling disease called Osteoarthritis among the adult population. The disease leads

Those familiar with the various comically inclined works of P.G. Wodehouse are, or should be, well aware of his idiosyncrasies, particularly in terms of his usage of specific expressions and his inventiveness in using imagery to bring across his point. Therefore, those aware of the existence of said inclined-to-make-you-smile works of fiction should be pleasantly surprised to find that many of his

Beslutsfattande genom förenklade förfaranden är mycket vanligt i svenska aktiebolag. Trots detta råder det en stor oenighet om hur förenklade förfaranden ska klassificeras. En klassificering är av betydelse vid avgörandet för om reglerna i ABL ska tillämpas direkt eller endast analogt där det lämpar sig. Utöver förenklade förfaranden finns det även en teoretisk möjlighet för aktieägare att åstad

In addition, a local tramway line in Helsingborg is regarded as a priority projec
