The Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the Atmosphere Based on an Instrument Container (CARIBIC) project investigates physical and chemical processes in the Earth's atmosphere using a Lufthansa Airbus long-distance passenger aircraft. After the beginning of the explosive eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano on Iceland on 14 April 2010, the first CARIBIC volcano-specific measuremen
We have studied the transferability of atomic charges for proteins, fitted to the quantum mechanical electrostatic potential and extensively averaged over a set of structures sampled by molecular dynamics (MD) and over all residues of the same kind in the protein sequence (xAvESP). Previously, such charges were obtained for one single protein (avidin). In this study, we use five additional protein
Aim To understand the role and significance of the reindeer, Rangifer tarandus (Linnaeus, 1758), as a specific indicator in terms of late Quaternary biogeography and to determine the effects of global climate change on its range and local extinction dynamics at the end of the Ice Age. Location Late Pleistocene/early Holocene range of reindeer over all of central and western Europe, including south
This thesis studies a period of intense crisis and creativity in British media, society, and culture, when the settled outcome of the Second World War (WW2) was perceived to be disintegrating. The post-world-war order was becoming an ‘order in ruins’. The thesis centres on a far-reaching analysis of the making of The World at War (WAW) in the early 1970s. A hugely popular televised documentary ser
När forskare blickar ut i universum ser de överallt spåren av en stor mängd osynlig massa. Massan finns där men det går inte att se den. Ungefär 80% av all massa i universum beräknas bestå av denna "mörka materia". Det är som att mänskligheten står på stranden och blickar ut över havet utan att veta vad vatten är. I partikelfysik studeras universums minsta beståndsdelar, elementarpartiklarna, för The high event rate delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provides experiments with opportunities for new discoveries as well as challenges related to the large amounts of data recorded. Overcoming this requires innovative techniques in the three topics of this thesis: Data acquisition, data analysis, and data compression.In the data taking period of 2015-2018, the ATLAS experiment received
Background: Well-developed vocabulary skills are crucial for academic success. Students having the language of instruction as a second language and students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds often have lower performance on vocabulary assessments. Teachers play an important role in supporting the vocabulary development of all students, regardless of background and educational needs.Aims: To inve
Renewable methanol is one of the most promising alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. However, its much higher latent heat of vaporization compared to traditional fossil-based hydrocarbon fuels poses new challenges. On both spark-ignition (SI) engines and dual-fuel (DF) engines, methanol can be introduced through injectors installed in the intake path, with its evaporation then causin

Uppsatsen har sin utgångspunkt i det slutbetänkande 2014 års sexualbrottskommitté presenterade i oktober 2016. Fokus blir på de direktiv sexualbrottskommittén fick för att undersöka och ta fram ett förslag till en sexualbrottslagstiftning, som bygger på samtycke samt om och hur en oaktsamhetsbestämmelse skulle kunna utformas. Första delen av uppsatsen belyser lagstiftningsreformen från 2005, vilThe essay is based on the final report the 2014 Sexual Offences Committee presented in October 2016. Focus will be on those directives the 2014 Sexual Offences Committee was given in order to examine and develop a proposal to a sexual offence legislation built on consent and if and how a negligent regulation could be formed. The first part of the essay illustrates the legislative reform from the
From the moment a government entity makes the decision to initiate a procurement procedure until that procedure is finalized through the award of a contract to a winning supplier, the procuring entity’s course of action is regulated in great detail by relevant public procurement legislation which for Swedish contracting authorities primarily consists of primarily law (2016:1145) on public procurem
Termen konkurrens uppfattas ofta som mångtydig. Trots dess ansedda mångtydighet företar konkurrensrätten som rättsområde att skydda konkurrensen. Sällan förekommer diskussioner i den juridiska litteraturen gällande betydelsen av konkurrens. De definitioner som har angetts förefaller undermåliga i relation to ordets allmänna innebörd. Hur kan vi då ha sammanhållet rättsområde samt skydda konkurrensThe word competition is often regarded as being ambiguous. Despite the word’s ambiguity the field of competition law undertakes to protect competition. In the legal literature the definition of the meaning of the word is seldom discussed. When it is being defined, the definitions appear to be inadequate regarding the words meaning in everyday speech. How it is then possible to have a coherent area
DNA profiling is evolving in the forensics community towards introducing massively parallel sequencing (MPS) as a complement to capillary electrophoresis (CE). Obstacles remain however before this technology can become routine in forensic casework, such as the development of more efficient bioinformatics solutions and recommendations concerning data analyses. Additionally, there is a need to devel
Advokater har länge letat efter sätt att effektivisera sitt arbete och på bästa sätt tillvarata klientens intresse. Artificiell intelligens har vuxit fram som den allra mest lovordade tekniken för att åstadkomma stora effektiviseringar av advokatens arbetsuppgifter.

Background The Company produces and sells specialised products and technical solutions worldwide through more than ten different technology-based and decentralised Business Units. While the "Business continuity management"-programme has been implemented throughout the Company for many years, many of the Business Units' "disaster recovery"-capabilities had not been tested un
Although primarily targeting the respiratory system, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) also manifests with central nervous system (CNS)-related symptoms in up to 80% of the patients. Little is known not only about SARS-CoV-2 neuropathology, but also about the clinical course of pre-existing CNS autoimmune disease and concurrent SARS-CoV-2-infection. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent
Moral distress in nursing is a widely-acknowledged phenomenon that has been linked to decreased patient care, burnouts and job turnover. Thereby, it is often described by quantitative studies which lack insights in feelings and perceptions of affected nurses. Our thesis approached the phenomenon differently by interpreting narratives. These were identified through a qualitative study in cooperatio
The Chinese stock market has been established for more than 20 years. Although it is not as mature as the highly developed western securities markets, it has a huge influence on the global economy. It is significant to study the risks of the Chinese stock market, especially the risk of stock indexes. Affected by the economic globalization today, more and more financial derivatives and financial i
With a mission to reduce the dependency of fossil-based plastics, the collaboration company to this master thesis project has developed and patented a technology that enables plastic production from wood fibers. The fibers of the company have been chemically treated in order to be more “plastic like” and thereby easier to mix and disperse with conventional or biobased plastics, to create a granula
