It is frequently found in open grassland, woodland and rich fen habitats, particularly in calcareous regions. The species is characterized by a high variation in morphological and genetic characters including plant height, floral characters, flowering time, habitat preferences, allozymes and
Uppsatsen handlar om hur den svenska lagstiftningen påverkades av den nationalsocialistiska utvecklingen som skedde i Tyskland under åren 1920 – 1945. Den antar ett historiskt utvecklingsperspektiv och är uppdelad i två delar. Den första delen ger en allmän bakgrund samt pekar på de nazistiska rösterna i den svenska politiken vid den aktuella perioden och definierar begreppet nazism. Den andra delThis essay is about how the Swedish legislation was influenced by the development of the National Socialism in Germany during the years 1920 – 1945. The essay will take on a historical development perspective and is divided into two parts. The first part gives a general background and highlights the Nazi voices in the Swedish politics at this current period and defines the concept of Nazism. The s
The thesis deals with consumers behaviour in the use of online services and the cultures effect on it. It is a study of Swedes and Danes use of online job data bases. The thesis is based on a quantitative study. A questionnaire were used sent out to 80 Swedes and 80 Danes. The theory concerns areas of online consumer behaviour, decision making and services theory as well as theories within culture
It can no longer be refuted that greywater reuse is paramount to curbing the persistent global water crisis. Of the domestic wastewaters, greywater is less polluted than blackwater, but treatment is still necessary to make it safe for reuse. The most common greywater reuse application is toilet flushing. However, the use of vacuum toilets in the Oceanhamnen project, covered in this thesis, means t
The thesis uses hermeneutical analysis as well as reception and content analysis to interpret a current architectural debate. Within the architectural profession, there is a dogmatic style standard. Since the 1930s, modernism (also known as functionalism) has been the predominating style in architecture. This has led to an open resistance to architectural modernism brought before the public and to
Endowed with diverse vegetation covers, the Middle Atlas Mountains receive substantial snowfall in winter, which contributes to plant hydration during the growing season. Using remotely-sensed imagery, this study aims to assess the trends in snow cover variations between 2000 and 2015, analyse the local influence of snowpack persistence on vegetation growth and evaluate the significance of this ef
År 2006 var året då fler människor bodde i städer än på landsbygden och år 2030 uppskattas 5 miljarder människor bo i en urban miljö. Att lösa boendesituationen för de som flyttar till städer är ett globalt problem som kommer bli viktigare än någonsin tidigare att lösa. (Montgomery, 2014) Bostadsbyggandet i Sverige har de senaste åren ökat, men befolkningen ökar i ännu högre takt vilket gör att bo2006 was the year when more people lived in cities than in rural areas and by 2030 approximately 5 billion people will be living in an urban environment. Solving the housing situation of those who move to cities is a global problem that will become more important than ever to solve. (Montgomery, 2014) Housing construction in Sweden has increased in recent years, but the population is increasing at
Staters rätt till självförsvar är ett undantag till det generella våldsförbudet och utgör ett såväl centralt som flitigt omskrivet område inom folkrätten. Regleringen för rätten kan påstås vara relativt enkel att återge så som den uttrycks i art. 51 av FN-stadgan och i ljuset av den internationella sedvanerätten. Rätten till självförsvar är däremot desto svårare att tillämpa i praktiken och en staThe right of states to self-defense is an exception to the general prohibition of the use of force and constitutes a central as well as a frequently debated subject in international law. The regulation of the right can be said to be relatively simple to pronounce as expressed in Art. 51 of the UN Charter and in the light of international customary law. The right of states to self-defense is howeve
Due to climate change more frequent and vigorous weather events are expected. This can be extreme precipitation that can lead to flooding, heat waves and drought. When urban areas are densified the imperviousness of the land surface will grow due to the increase of hard surfaces. This makes the areas more vulnerable to flooding and the hard surface will trap heat in the city which can result in hi
Av artikel 8 i Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (nedan Europakonventionen) följer att alla och envar som befinner sig inom en konventionsstats jurisdiktion ska tillförsäkras en rätt till familjeliv. Innebörden av rättigheten är framför allt att den enskilde åtnjuter ett skydd mot ingripanden från det offentliga som kan utgöra en kränknArticle 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as the European Con-vention) states that everyone within the jurisdiction of a Contracting State shall be guaranteed a right to family life. The meaning of the right is above all that the individual enjoys protection against interference from the public sector which may constit
Antibodies have for long time dominated the field of affinity proteins in example imaging and therapeutics, due to their high specificity and affinity. However, they have some major drawbacks such as high molecular weight, complex structure leading to instability and high production cost. Therefore, other types of affinity proteins have been engineered, for example the Affibody molecule which is a
In this report the preparation of colloidal molecules through electrostatically driven self-assembly of spherical, thermoresponsive microgel building blocks is investigated. Colloidal molecules are of interest to the scientific community because, unlike spherical colloids, they account for anisotropic interactions that can also be found in atomic molecules. The added benet of using thermoresponsiv
Byggbranschen är en av de farligaste branscherna i Sverige idag och genererar i snitt fler arbetsrelaterade dödsfall än någon annan bransch. Stora satsningar har gjorts i Sverige och övriga Europa för att öka säkerheten och minska dödsolyckorna i branschen. Svensk lagstiftning har fått anpassa sig efter europeiska direktiv och manar numera företag av alla storlekar att driva ett systematiskt arbet
An energy transition from centralised and fossil-fuelled installations towards decentralised and renewable energy has been advocated by governments, businesses and academia. In the EU it has become a regional strategy, and a desire of citizens, to enable communities to take an active role in the energy market in the hopes of transitioning to an increasingly local, renewable and participatory futur
The term Middle-income Trap (MIT) is relatively new, originating thirteen years ago, but has since generated significant debate. It is used by politicians to channel national reforms and has given rise to a vast amount of research about growth slowdowns in middle-income countries (MICs). The term describes the higher prevalence of economic growth slowdowns in MICs, which impedes their transition i
The remodeling phase of tissue repair in lung disorders such as idiopathic pulmonary disease, asthma, obliterative bronchiolitis, and after lung transplantation is not well understood. One of the key players in fibrosis is the fibroblast and its progenitor, the fibrocyte. The fibroblast is the main producer of extracellular matrix molecules such as collagen, versican, perlecan, biglycan, and decor
The natural reservoir of influenza A virus is waterfowl, particularly dabbling ducks (genus Anas). Although it has long been assumed that waterfowl are asymptomatic carriers of the virus, a recent study found that low-pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) infection in Bewick's swans (Cygnus columbianus bewickii) negatively affected stopover time, body mass and feeding behaviour. In the present study,
Introduction: In contact zones, genetic mixing of two taxa can be restricted by prezygotic (e.g. assortative mating) or postzygotic (lower fitness of hybrid offspring) barriers, or a combination of the two. A hybrid zone between two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus, P. t. acredula) with distinctive migratory strategies occurs in central Sweden. These subspecies exhibit d
This dissertation discusses aspects of the syntax of Övdalian, a variety spoken by ca. 2,500 people in the province of Dalecarlia in Sweden. Initially, an overview of the history and current status of the language of Älvdalen is given, and the focus of the dissertation is on certain syntactic phenomena that have been well studied from a comparative and diachronic perspective in other Scandinavian
