Den senaste tidens genetiska utveckling har medfört stora möjligheter att genom assisterad befruktning hjälpa naturen på traven för par som av olika anledningar inte kan få barn på naturlig väg. Man kan insemineras, ägg kan befruktas utanför kroppen och man kan använda sig av donerade ägg eller spermier. Man kan till och med hyra en livmoder. Möjligheterna ökar och fler och fler kan bli föräldrar The recent development in the area of assisted reproductive technology has entailed large opportunities to help childless couples to get pregnant. Today, women can get inseminated and their eggs can be fertilized outside their bodies. Donated gametes can be used and you can even rent a uterus. The possibilities are growing – but to what cost? Assisted reproduction means a deviation from the natur

The purpose of this Master's thesis is to make suggestions as to how librarians can promote young reluctant readers to help them find the joy of reading. We want to show how the comprehension of these children and adolescents can be translated into action in the librarians work with reading promotion. Our main questions are: ? What attitudes do the librarians find that children and adolescen

Title: Proletarian polyphony - Western harmony in Chinese music from the first half of the 20th century The aim of this essay is to examine the use of harmony and polyphony in Chinese music from the first half of the 20th century. Traditional Chinese music contains no chords and no polyphony. At the turn of the 20th century China showed an increasing interest in European culture and music. Many C

I städer finns det, något förenklat, bilgator och gågator. En sommargågata, däremot, är både ock. Den skapas genom att biltrafiken tillfälligt stängs av på en gata under sommarmånaderna vilket ger fotgängare tillgång till hela gaturummet. Den frigjorda ytan kan användas till verksamheter och restauranger som vill flytta ut i gatan, växter, bänkar, spel och lek, cykelställ och konstinstallationer. A summer street is created by temporarily closing the car traffic on a street during the summer months. The pedestrians get access to the entire street and the liberated space can be used for activities, greenery, benches, bike parking, art and by restaurants. During recent years major cities have made the concept known to the general public. My study shows that summer streets have a much longer

När läkemedel produceras bildas även en massa biprodukter. Dessa biprodukterna kan många gånger vara mycket skadligare än vad själva läkemedlet gör nytta. Därför renar man upp läkemedel med en process som heter kromatografi. Kromatografi är som ett rör som är fyllt med något typ av sand eller sten. För att sedan rena upp sitt läkemedel låter man sin blandning med produkt och biprodukt åka genom koChromatography was first described in the 1903 by a Russian scientist. Later on chromatography was almost forgotten until the 1940s when two British scientist published a study about liquid chromatography. They were later awarded with the Nobel prize in chemistry for their work in chromatography. Chromatography has since then developed a lot and nowadays several different kinds of liquid chromatog

In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. A larger hull surface area could be illuminated by a single LED if the LED light is used efficiently. Exactly how the light exits the wallpaper materia

Möjligheten att rikta nyemissioner infördes år 1973 i svensk rätt. Numera utgör riktade nyemissioner ett etablerat alternativ vid kapitalanskaffning i bolag. Aktiemarknadsbolagens möjligheter att genomföra riktade emissioner begränsas av aktieägarskyddsreglerna i aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL) och god sed på aktiemarknaden.

Today it is an established alternative for the companies’ to raise capital. The possibility for listed companies to conduct directed new share issues is limited by the shareholder protection rules in the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) and good practice in the Swedish stock market. This study shows that the general perc

H.G. Wells’ novella The Time Machine (1895) tells the story of The Time Traveller who travels to the year 802,701. There, he encounters two evolutionary progressions of humanity. One, Morlocks, have been read as representations of Victorian workers and poor, and the other, the Elois, as representations of the aristocracy. The Time Traveller represents the middle class. The novella is often seen as

Fire and grazing, a disaster or opportunity? Due to climate change, disturbances such as forest fires are expected to see an increase in frequency in the 21st century. Fires can increase species diversity since it can create habitats for early successional species. At least if it does not happen too often. Imagine living in a house that burns down every year, it would not be a very nice place to

År 2020 anger 212 av 286 kommuner i Sverige att de har ett underskott på bostäder i kommunen som helhet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och bostadsbeståndet hänger inte med. I studien syftar bostadsbristen till definitionen som är skillnaden mellan vad som kollektivt uppfattas som en godtagbar bostadssituation och det faktiska läget på marknaden. Situationer som inte kollektivt anses vara godtagbara bosThe housing responsibility in Sweden is primarily controlled by the municipalities. The municipalities in Sweden have a monopoly on controlling land use with detailed development plans. The population rises every day and the majority of the Swedish municipalities confirms having lack of housing. This study has been made in order to investigate how five municipalities work with their housing respon

In November 2001, Malta experienced the first larger arrival of irregular immigrants when a boat carrying 57 people landed on its shores. Since then, the influx of immigrants has continued which constitutes a new phenomenon for this small country situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea - it has become the destination for immigrants seeking a better life in Europe. These so-called ?boat peo

Upplevelsen av Malmö är för mig, och för många andra som inte vuxit upp i staden, en ganska grå stad. Kvarter efter kvarter med tegelhus som före detta arbetarbostäder för de stora industrierna.

Blocks after blocks of brick buildings housing the former workers of the great industries that once were the pillars of the city. The face of the city has changed quite radically in recent years and my personal image of the city has been diversified with new places, buildings and environments, which cons
