Athletes constantly report experiences of momentum during athletic contests, and they consider momentum as being an important factor for the outcome of a competition. However, researchers trying to capture momentum with quantitative methods see themselves confronted with inconclusive results. To explain this gap between athletes’ belief and results from quantitative data, it is hypothesised that m

The aim of the present Study was to make a 16-year follow-up of children of psychosocial risk mothers as concerns emotional/behavioural problems, self-esteem, life events, and academic grades. Forty-three teenagers (index group) and 61 reference teenagers were personally interviewed and asked to answer the Youth Self-report (YSR), the Self-image questionnaire I Think I Am, and a Life Event questio

Understanding farmer behaviour is needed for local agricultural systems to produce food sustainably while facing multiple pressures. We synthesize existing literature to identify three fundamental questions that correspond to three distinct areas of knowledge necessary to understand farmer behaviour: 1) decision-making model; 2) cross-scale and cross-level pressures; and 3) temporal dynamics. We u

The hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of the membrane material have an important influence on the membrane flux reduction when treating solutions containing hydrophobic solutes. Different methods of measuring the hydrophobic properties of membranes have been evaluated; measurement of the contact angle being the most commonly used method. In this investigation the flux reduction of eight membranes

There is compelling evidence to suggest that estrogen administration to women of climacteric age reduces subsequent myocardial infarction by some 50%. Accumulating data also suggests estrogens confer substantial protection from stroke. Given this rationale, it is prudent to suggest to regulatory bodies that estrogen treatment would have this indication. Estrogens have other well-defined, and less

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inflammation is a protective response against injury or infection (the invading microbes or their toxins) with the aim being the removal of causal agent followed by the repair process. Without inflammation, infections would go unchecked and wounds would not heal. However, inflammation is like a double-edged sword. Though it is mainly a protective response, some times, iThe pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. In this context, in the present study, we examined if expo

In the framework of the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method, we investigate the transition properties of four excited states in the 2p(5)3s configuration of neutral neon. The electron correlation effects are taken into account systematically by using the active space approach. The effect of higher-order correlation on fine structures is shown. We also study the influence of the Breit inte

The inherent limitations of a specific pencil beam model have been studied when applied to a cylindrical geometry simulating the neck region. A comparison is made between measured and calculated absorbed dose in a cylindrical phantom. The goal is to quantify the deviations in the absorbed dose level, i.e., the dose per monitor unit, when photons are used for the treatment of head and neck tumours.

Dumping is generally considered an unfair practice and through the Antidumping Agreement of the GATT many governments offer protection to domestic producers against dumped goods. In 1992 and 1998 large amounts of steel entered the U.S. at low prices, and large amounts of antidumping investigations were initiated in order to curb the surge of imports flooding the country. The increase in steel imp

Introduction: In Italy the course to become a general practitioner (GP) lasts 3 years and includes both theoretical and practical study. Different from the theoretical part, until recently the practical activity has not been assessed at all. The Emilia Romagna Regional Health Authority has developed a special program called INFORMEG (Management of Tutoring during the Triennial Specific Training in

Denna uppsats behandlar framtida utfästelser att överlåta fast egendom och i synnerhet ersättningsklausuler som kopplats till utfästelsen. Framtida utfästelser att överlåta fast egendom har ingen rättsverkan på så sätt att en överlåtelse inte kan framtvingas. Som huvudregel kan heller inte en part som drar sig ur åläggas att betala skadestånd. Den part som ändå vill sätta press på sin motpart kan This paper deals with future commitments to transfer immovable property and especially compensation clauses connected to the commitment. Future commitments to transfer immovable property has no legal effect, a party can not enforce transfer. Nor can a party be required to pay damages. A party that wants to put pressure on its counterpart can induce a special commitment to replace possible damages.

I Sverige förekommer fortfarande problem med hedersrelaterade våldsbrott. År 2016 var en tredjedel av alla mord som begicks mot kvinnor hedersrelaterade. Många röster har höjts för att en straffskärpning bör ske på området. Mitt syfte med uppsatsen har varit att utreda om det finns ett behov att införa en särreglering vad gäller våldsbrott med heder som motiv i straffskärpande syfte. Följande frågIn Sweden there are still problems with honor-related violent crime. In 2016, one third of all murders committed against women were honor-related murders. Many voices have been raised in order for a punishment to take place in the area. The purpose of the present paper has been to investigate whether there is a need to introduce a special regime for violent crime with honor as a motive for puniti

Denna uppsats tar avstamp i det mediala tumultet som briserade under sommaren 2018 med anledning av låten "Knulla Barn", skriven och framförd av komikern Anton Magnussons fiktiva, satiriska humorkaraktär "Mr Cool". Denna låt föranledde en debatt om huruvida existensen av låtar om att våldta barn ska få existera eller inte. Det är mot bakgrund av denna debatt som jag bestämde miThis essay starts off with a report the medial commotion that burst during the summer of 2018. The commotion happened as a consequence of the song "Knulla Barn" , written and performed by the comedian Anton Magnusson's fictive, satirical comedy character "Mr Cool". This song caused a debate about whether songs about raping children should exist or not. It is because of this

Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern

Igenkänning och signalering av växthormonet brassinosteroid i korn Under svåra väderförhållanden som starka vindar, hagel eller hårt regn kan grödor som korn pressas mot marken – man får liggsäd. Dessa löper större risk att drabbas av svampinfektioner, de börjar gro och de blir svårare att tröska vilket minskar skörden. Sädesslag som korn, vete och råg är extra utsatta, vilket skapar ett behov av

Ett porträtt av proteomet Bioinformatiken är unik i sin position inom livsvetenskapen tack vare den frihet och de verktyg som finns för att förenklat kunna skildra en komplex biologisk verklighet. Bioinformatiken står mellerst i processen att analysera ett biologiskt prov. Först i ledet av biologiska analyser finns vävnadsprovet som förbereds på ett laboratorium, så att dess molekylära beståndsdDespite the abundance of available tools for describing and analyzing gene expression data, few are properly suited for downstream analysis of quantitative proteomics data. An accurate depiction of the proteome requires us to move from a gene-centric analysis, towards one that accounts for the diversity of the proteome and respects its complexity. Here, an improved approach for first generation fu

As more functionality and complex systems are combined in limited settings the need for resource management is becoming increasingly important. Resources such as computing capacity, battery power and communication channels need to be divided between different applications and hardware to achieve the highest global performance. Traditionally the computing capacity has been handled by the system sch

Gromning är brottet där en vuxen tar kontakt med ett barn under 15 år för att träffas i sexuellt syfte, och återfinns i Brottsbalken 6 kap. 10 a §. Idag är internet den vanligast brottsplatsen för gromningförövare. Framställningen granskar de metoder det svenska rättsväsendet använder idag vid identifikation, bevisföring och lagföring av en gromningförövare. De mest använda metoderna är polisens sGrooming is the designation of a crime where an adult initiates contact with a child under 15 years with the intention of committing a sexual offence, and the Swedish regulation of grooming is found in the Swedish Criminal Code (Brottsbalken, SFS 1962:700) chapter 6 section 10 a. Today, the most common crime scene for grooming is the internet. This petition reviews methods that the Swedish judicia
