Zabrze is a medium size town of 200 000 inhabitants in the region of Upper Silesia, Poland. The development of the town was originally based on the exploitation of heavy industries. In the past few years Zabrze has, however, moved towards more service and tourism oriented industries. As part of this journey, the city of Zabrze sees the need to improve its existing waste management system. This rep
The task of this essay is to study paleopathology in unburned bones from the Bronze Age of Scania, Sweden. Questions about the meaning of age, sex and health is raised, due to this task. Further, this study also aims to construct a catalog over the material. The study is based upon 5771 bone fragments and 789 teeth from 18 different archaeological sites. All the material is situated in Lunds Unive
The iron production in northern Scania is well documented and research has been done during a long time. The primary focus in these researches was to study the production process, the starting and the ending time of the production and the area of production. The ending time of the production is usually said to be with the Swedish conquest of Scania. The other part of this paper is about “friskytta
Purpose: investigate in which ways sustainable development in Swedish schools is constructed as a wicked problem. Research Question: How is sustainable development constructed as a wicked problem in Swedish educational contexts? Methodology: A qualitative study approach was implemented where 20 semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. The data analysis followed the process of sort
Nepal ligger i ett av världens mest jordbävningsutsatta områden, och jordbävningen i Gorkha 2015 visade tydligt hur sårbara murverksbyggnader utan ingenjörsmässig dimensionering kan vara. I återuppbyggnadsarbetet har interlocking Compressed Sta- bilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) lyfts fram som ett möjligt alternativ till traditionellt murverk av bränt lertegel. Detta eftersom systemet både kan vara mer Nepal is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and the 2015 Gorkha earthquake clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of non-engineered masonry buildings. In the reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, interlocking Com- pressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) have been highlighted as a potentially more seismically robust and at the same time more sustainable al
This study focused on expression, purification and functional characterization of three key proteins (Urc1p, Urc2p and Urc8p) in the newly discovered uracil catabolism (URC) pathway. A novel expression system was established by using Saccharomyces kluyveri as a host organism for expression of 6-His tagged Urc1p and Urc2p. Moreover, URC8 gene was cloned in pET151/D-TOPO vector and expressed in Esch
When building new constructions under ground level in cities it is important that the foundations of neighboring buildings are undisturbed. The regulations regarding soil deformations are hence very strict and conventional methods of predicting soil behavior is often too crude. Finite element calculations are therefore becoming an increasingly important tool used to predict soil behavior in and ar
Preferred acoustic characteristics in a room can vary depending on the purpose of the room. A room adjusted to e.g. teaching may not be suitable for music practice and a room suitable for one type of instrument may not fit another. The judgement of what defines good and bad acoustics is subjective and differs among individuals. Practice rooms at music schools are good examples of rooms were the ac
Arbetet behandlar utdelningsbeskattningens omfattning, främst vid transaktioner som aktualiserar uttagsbeskattning, men även vid transaktioner där kostnadsavdrag inte medges. Bakgrunden är att HFD under 2004 lämnade två avgöranden där prövningen avsåg huruvida utdelnings-beskattning skulle ske vid två olika transaktioner som innebar uttags-beskattningssituationer. Det första avgörandet avsåg en unThis thesis explores the scope of the Swedish dividend taxation for transactions on the subject of withdrawal taxation, and also as regards transactions where a cost deduction is not allowed. The background study begins with two Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) decisions from 2004. These cases tried whether dividend taxation should occur at two different transactions regarding withdrawal
I dagens samhälle räcker det inte med en produkts relativa överlägsenhet för att garantera dess framgång på marknaden. Snabb ekonomisk utveckling och avancerad teknologi har lett till knivskarp konkurrens på den globala marknaden. Genom ökad marknadstransparens och avancerade kommunikationer underlättas tillgänglighet till information samt genomförande av gränöverskridande transaktioner. Det har bIn today’s society, the relative superiority of a product is not enough to guarantee its success on a marketplace. Rapid economic development rates and advancing technology has led to a more competitive global market. Increased accessibility to information and cross-border transactions is a result of market transparency and advanced communication techniques. Creating product imitations or very sim
Sustainable utilization of scarce water resources requires a conceptualization and understanding of both local and regional climate variability. This work deals with an analysis of climate variability and human impacts on the water balance of the Lake Chad drainage basin of northern Africa. Mean annual precipitation and discharge time series from 112 rain gauges and monthly mean SST anomalies were
This report is a result of a Master thesis that was carried out at Dresser Wayne AB and at the Division of Machine Design at the Department of Design Sciences LTH. The thesis was written as a product development report and essentially follows the method described by Ulrich and Eppinger found in the publication Product Design and Development. The objective of the Master Thesis was to design and bui

The starting point is Anna Christensen's Theory of Normative Patterns. The thesis deals with the legal development during the 20th century and both the Swedish law of succession and the marital legal framework are disc
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has become popular in many research fields for the past two decades. NIRS technology uses near infrared light for measuring changes in the concentration of deoxygenated hemoglobin and oxygenated hemoglobin. Noninvasive near-infrared absorption measurements in tissue have many invaluable applications in the medical field. Today NIRS is a very attractive technique w
”Den som sa det han var det”. Ett klassiskt svenskt ordspråk företrädelsevis populärt bland barn att dra till med när argumentationen tagit slut i en hetsig diskussion. Men också en ypperlig titel på denna uppsats då den ger uttryck för en mycket vanlig uppfattning; den som erkänner brott måste också vara skyldig till detsamma. I Rättegångsbalken stadgas det att ett erkännande i brottmål endast tj"Den som sa det han var det." A classic Swedish saying, especially popular amongst children when found themselves run out of arguments in a heated discussion. But also an excellent title for this paper as it reflects a very common belief; the one who confesses a crime must also be guilty of the same. The Swedish law states that a confession in criminal cases only serve as evidence, which
Human rights are paving its way on the international arena. The international recognition that certain rights needs to be protected has grown. One of the ways this can be seen is that today, gross violations of human rights are considered to be a threat to international peace and security in the meaning of Article 39 of the Charter of the United Nations. A threat to the peace in the meaning of the
The purpose of this graduate thesis is to examine how the best interests of the child principle has evolved in the history of the Swedish institution of adoption, how the best interests of the child shall be provided for with reference to international adoption that takes place today and finally if the best interests of the child principle requires to be clarified in the Swedish legislation.

White dwarf stars represent the last evolutionary stage of most stars in the Universe. As many of half of these stars are known to have metals in their atmospheres, that must have entered the atmosphere recently. Some also have observable debris discs, hinting that remnant exoplanets provide an important puzzle piece. However, we do not know the full extent of their role, as it is very hard to obs
