OSL dating of the Mesolithic site Nilsvikdalen 7, Bjorøy, Norway.

Luminiscensdatering är en väletablerad dateringsmetod inom geologisk och arkeologisk forskning. Dock är användandet av luminiscensdatering, mer specifikt optiskt stimulerad luminiscens (OSL), fortfarande underrepresenterat inom norsk arkeologi. Denna studie ämnar utreda lämpligheten av denna dateringsmetod som ett användbart alternativ för utgrävningar av Stenålderslokaler på den norska kusten. DeLuminescence dating is a well-established dating method within geological and archaeological research. However, the use of luminescence dating, and more specifically optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), is currently underutilised in Norwegian archaeology. This study set about determining the suitability of this dating method as a viable option for excavations of Norwegian coastal Stone Age sit

How is Polly? Revisiting the Differential Attack on Polly Cracker after 20 years

För att skapa nya krypteringsalgoritmer är man alltid på jakt efter svårlösta matematiska problem. Men är alla problem lämpliga? Uppsatsen behandlar Gröbnerbaser över ändliga kroppar och visar att de är inte lämpliga för att bygga säkra krypteringsalgoritmer. Vi undersöker flera möjligheter att knäcka den på Gröbnerbaser baserade krypteringsalgoritmen Polly Cracker, analyserar Differential AttackWhen building cryptographic systems, one is constantly on the hunt for hard to solve problems, but are all problems suitable? In this thesis we will take a look at Gröbner bases over finite fields and how they fail to provide a secure cryptosystem. We discuss several ways of attacking a Gröbner basis based cryptosystem named Polly Cracker, analyse the Differential Attack by Hofheinz and Steinwand

Spectroscopic model characterisation of hot exoplanet atmospheres

Hot Jupiters are gas giants under intense stellar radiation with short orbital periods of only a few days. Due to their large radii, hot temperatures, and large scale heights, hot Jupiters can be observationally characterised in detail through spectroscopy over an entire orbital phase. Transmission spectroscopy is one of the tools that aid us in understanding the complex chemistry of exoplanet atm

On the Energy Dependence of Parameters in PYTHIA8 Heavy-ion Collision Simulations

Particle collisions are an essential component to the research methodology of particle physics. These investigations are not only conducted in experimental laboratories but also through programs such as PYTHIA that simulate a collision or ``event" and then compare its results to known experimental data. This thesis aims to investigate the energy dependence of parameters used in PYTHIA's A

Rethinking organic municipal solid waste management in Kenyan urban areas

Organic waste forms a big share of municipal solid waste, especially in developing countries. Its management is however faced with many challenges ranging from limited financial and technical capacity to lack of, or weak policy enforcement. This causes poor management of the waste leading to open dumping and disposal in un-engineered landfills. Such practices have adverse effects on both the envir

Understanding China’s New Fertility Policy System through ‘Incrementalism’: Inferences from Online Articles Published by China Population and Development Research Center

In the ongoing transformation from previous “one-child policy” to current “two-/three-child policy” in China, the newly issued “supporting measures” system is highlighted to be crucial to boosting fertility. Extant studies on the issue are mostly limited to idealized discussions, while lacking a Public Administration perspective to comprehensively understand the real policy process. To compensate

Trade-offs between land conservation and agricultural production: Case study of the Spanish Lookout area and the Belize Maya Forest Reserve

Habitat destruction (evidenced in land use change) represents one of the biggest threats to environmental resources and biodiversity. In the tropics, this threat is maximized as deforestation frontiers have expanded into natural ecosystems at increasing rates over the last decades for agricultural cropping and livestock husbandry. Protected areas have been conventionally established against this g

Personlig integritet – ett minne blott? - En redogörelse för den svenska regleringen om hemliga tvångsmedel och användandet av bevismaterial från vissa krypterade kommunikationstjänster

Hemliga tvångsmedel är ett fragmenterat och komplext område inom svensk rätt. Lagstiftningen är utspridd i flera olika lagar med en stor mängd korshänvisningar. Dessutom görs en åtskillnad om hemliga tvångsmedel företas inom ramen för en förundersökning eller i preventivt syfte. Anledningen till att lagstiftningen ser ut som den gör torde vara på grund av den fortgående teknik- och samhällsutvecklSecret coercive measures are a fragmented and complex area within Swedish law. The legislation is spread across several different laws with a large amount of cross-references. In addition, a distinction is made if secret coercive measures are carried out during a preliminary investigation or for preventive purposes. The reason why the legislation looks this way is most probably because the ongoing

Skiljeavtal i Arbetsrätten

Tvister i dispositiva tvistemål kan genom avtal mellan parterna avgöras i ett skiljeförfarande. På arbetsrättens område råder frihet för parterna att avtala om ett sådant men det kan anses oskäligt i vissa fall. Det uppställs krav på synlighet när det kommer till klausulens placering i det aktuella avtalet. Detta krav uppställs i EU-direktivet 91/533/EEG, 1991. Detta innefattar även så kallad traDisputes in dispositive litigation can be settled by parties in an arbitration procedure regulated by the parties' agreement. Within labour law, the parties are free to agree on such a matter, but it can be considered unreasonable in some cases. There is also an obligation for the employer to inform the employee of the presence of an arbitration clause or a reference to such a clause in a col

An examination of the criteria for valid consent under the GDPR in the light of the rationale and technological neutrality

I syfte att säkerställa den grundläggande rätten till skydd av data samt att motverka fragmenteringen av dataskyddsrätten inom EU infördes den allmänna dataskyddsförordningen, ’GDPR’. För att personuppgiftsbehandling ska vara tillåtet under GDPR, krävs det rättslig grund, exempelvis samtycke. För särskilda behandlingsändamål inom elektronisk kommunikation fastställer ePrivacy-direktivet att enbartAs a means to safeguard the fundamental right to data protection in light of the rapid advancement of use of technology and to address the fragmented implementation of data protection, the GDPR was introduced. For processing of personal data to be lawful under the GDPR, processing must have a legal basis, such as consent. The ePrivacy Directive establishes that consent is the only valid legal basi
