In the Solar System, asteroids and Kuiper belt objects as well as comets are remnant planetesimals from the time of planet formation. Interactions between solids and gas inside a protoplanetary disc can, e.g. through the streaming instability, form gravitationally bound planetesimal-mass clouds of pebbles. Such clouds will inevitably have inelastic collisions between pebbles, lose energy and exper
The contribution of Rafael Capurro to the clarification of the uses of the concept of information has a conceptual as well a historical dimension; in this last sense, there are few philosophers of information that can follow the history of the concept of information in the works of the Classics with the accuracy and erudition of Capurro We find that his contribution embraces the following fields:
Denna kandidatuppsats behandlar möjligheten Katalonien har att bli självständigt. Självständighetsförklaring strax efter valet den första oktober 2017 fick många människor att höja på ögonbrynen. Den Spanska staten förklarade valet olagligt. Spansk polisen blev ditskickade och försökte bryta upp valet. Agerandet var klandervärt, men inte oväntat.

This thesis’ focus is upon accountability in a compacting governance context – the VSOPP-collaboration between the nonprofit organization Stadsmissionen and the public authority Region Skåne. Previous research has indicated that a collaborating governance context might either challenge traditional aspects of accountability or bring about non-traditional and horizontal aspects of accountability. Th
Around the world there is an increasing number of urban freight transports. A society is dependent on these transports to be able to fulfill the need of its citizens. However, a lot of these transportations emit pollutants and contribute to congestion, noise and traffic safety problems. Although there are many stakeholders and actors involved in these processes, this thesis will look at this probl
Narratives focusing on People of Color often suffer from neocolonial treatment with narrow focus on race at the expense of character development, working with stereotypical monoliths rather than complex individuals. These types of narratives tend to use Whiteness as a “neutral” reference point. In this thesis, I demonstrate how novelist Junot Díaz crafts The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao around
This study has aimed to understand the experiences of the Turkish women who share their knitting videos on YouTube through using the virtual ethnography conducted. The participant women mostly describe themselves as a “housewife” and/or specify their roles through association with domestic tasks, which is related to the position of assigned to many women by Turkish society. Most of them were born
Idag bor cirka en miljard människor i världen i informella bosättningar och saknar tillgång till avfalls- och sanitetstjänster samt stadsinfrastruktur. I Rio de Janeiro bor cirka 1,4 miljoner människor, en fjärdedel av stadsbefolkningen, i informella bosättningar, eller favelor som det heter i Brasilien. Bristerna i stadens avfallshanteringssystem manifesterar sig huvudsakligen genom ansamling av Today, about one billion people in the world live in informal settlements and lack access to basic services and city infrastructure. In Rio de Janeiro, approximately 1,4 million people, one fourth of the city population, live in informal settlements, in Brazil called favelas. The insufficiency of the city’s waste services mainly manifests itself through accumulation of waste in public spaces in th
In the global north, we seem well informed of the pending climate crisis, but despite criticism of un-sustainability, it seems as if we lack alternatives to eco-modernist solutions. Although not unproblematic, degrowth and other alternatives do exist, but are somehow non-existing in the public debate. Within political ecology and ecological economics this can be explained in terms of “capitalistic
How is the police violence described and is it of any importance? The Parliamentary Ombudsman (JO) has to in the public interest watch over the constitutional protection, which each citizen in Sweden receives, by directing the attention at the authorities’ shortcomings in judicial practice. When complaint against Police authority with the claim that violence has been exercised by police comes to J

The vagueness of laws concerning social workers labor calls into question legal certainty; we therefore decided to study this matter. The aim of this study was to examine social workers assessments of a vulnerable child`s situation. The main questions to be answered were: What similarities and differences can be discerned in the social workers actions and reasoning? How is the child's perspect
This article is a critical reappraisal of the understandings of gender and the location of women within theories of late modernity. These theories, as articulated by Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck, have gained a wide use, not the least since they claim to account for changes in intimate relations. We will use four major feminist interventions for our argument – the problematization of the public-
Den särskilda utskrivningsprövningen inom den rättspsykiatriska vården har varit omdiskuterad under en längre tid. Flera statliga utredningar har gjorts och en del uppmärksammade fall med lagöverträdare som suttit inom vården uppemot 20 år har skapat en het debatt. Denna uppsats ger en närmare inblick i systemet kring särskild utskrivningsprövning och vilka intressen som är centrala när bedömningaThe special discharge review within forensic pshyciatry has been a controversial subject during a longer period of time.

Abstract Brazil was military dictatorship for decades, but turned democracy in 1985, and was an improving democracy for many years, while several other Latin American countries fell back into authoritarianism. However, since 2009 the democratic outlook has looked bleaker, and Brazil is steadily sliding back into autocracy. This study seeks to explain why Brazil suddenly started autocratization. Th
I Skelleftefältet finns idag runt 85 kända VHMS-fyndigheter, i Kristinebergsområdet finns fem av dessa fyndigheter, en av dem är Rävliden. Berggrunden består mestadels av meta-vulkaniter med ryolitisk komposition samt en meta-sedimentär vulkanisk bergart. Skelleftefältet har genomgått åtminstone två metamorfa event. Detta har resulterat i storskalig veckning av området. Fyndigheten i Rävliden liggIn the Skellefte district today there are about 85 known VHMS-deposits, in the Kristinebergs area there are five known deposits, one of them being Rävliden. The supracrustal rock primarily consists of metavolcanic rock of rhyolitic composition and also metasedimentary volcanic rock. The district has gone through at least two metamorphic events. This resulted in the presence of large scale folding.
Research indicates that sexuality education may lower the rate of STIs and unplanned pregnancies among youth. Experts also agree that schools are the ideal place to implement sexuality education and that teachers should play a central role in school-based sexuality education. The purpose of this study is therefore to generate new perspectives on teachers’ implementation of sexuality education by e
