The Europeans were confronted with something new and unknown to them when they 'discovered' the Americas. Humanity today is at the verge of establishing a settlement on Mars and being confronted with something new and unknown. This raises the question of what can be learned from history. The working hypothesis of this thesis is that humanity is justifying its right to space with arguments

The study was conducted by qualitative semistructured interviews with case-workers through a targeted selection process. The study showed that physical needs are easier to manage and carry out rather than
Mammals express thirteen different isoforms of the membrane-bound water channel aquaporin in a tissue-dependent manner. From a medical point of view, two of the most studied isoforms are aquaporin (AQP0), also known as major intrinsic protein and aquaporin 2 (AQP2). AQP0 is exclusively expressed in the mammalian eye lens and responsible for the transport of water across lens fiber cell membranes t
Denna uppsats behandlar tvångsinlösen av minoritetsaktier i onoterade bolag i syfte att klargöra rättsläget genom att analysera gällande rätt. Tvångsinlösen av minoritetsaktier möjliggörs när en majoritetsaktie-ägare äger nio tiondelar av aktierna i ett bolag. Majoritetsaktieägaren kan då lösa in en eller flera minoritetsaktieägares aktier i bolaget. Lösenbeloppet blir ofta föremål för tvist, särThis essay answers a series of questions regarding the process of valuation of shares in unlisted limited companies when subject to a squeeze-out. The purpose of the thesis is to clarify the legal position by analysing the law. A squeeze-out is enabled when a shareholder owns more than nine tenths of the shares in a company. The majority shareholder may then choose to force the minority sharehold

Iceland is known for its remote location and rough beauty. In their seclusion, the Icelanders have built an independent and peaceful country. They are undeniably a very unique nation, where police officers are not allowed to carry guns, except on special occasions. The society displays a relaxed attitude towards prisons, which are built without concrete walls around. However, faced with the immens
To reduce the risk of serious chemical accidents to occur there is a legislation called the Seveso-legislation. One part of this legislation demands that all business that handle certain amounts of chemical compounds to submit a safety report in order to get permission to run their business. The safety report should contain over-all plans of how to handle safety as well as detailed descriptions o
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda ifall föräldraskapsregleringen vid insemination utanför den svenska vården omfattas av diskrimineringsförbuden i regeringsformen (RF) respektive Europeiska Konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (EKMR). I dagsläget gäller olika föräldraskapsregleringar för hetero- och homosexuella par när en insemination skett utanförThe purpose of the essay is to examine whether the Swedish regulation of parenthood through insemination outside of Swedish care is subject to the prohibition against discrimination in the instrument of government or European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). As of now, regulations of parenthood differ based on the couple’s sexuality when an insemination has taken place outside of Swedish care. I
Människans fysiska behov av sömn är uppenbara, men vilken funktion fyller egentligen sömnen och drömmarna för psyket? Det är något av ett mysterium trots att både sömn och drömmar är föremål för mycket debatt, teorier och studier. I den här studien undersöks kopplingen mellan sömn, mardrömmar och försvarsstrukturer. Kan en kort sovstund dagtid påverka våra försvarsstrategier, gör den vårt psyke meThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether sleep leads to more flexible use of defense mechanisms, and linkages between defense structure, anxiety and nightmares, the two conditions, sleep and rest. 69 participants were recruited for the study and they were divided into a sleep group (n = 48) who received a period of sleep during the daytime while the other partcipants (n = 16) rested du
Rail transport across national borders is complicated today. European member states do not have the same regulations and structure of the network. The European market is divided into national networks based on different technologies and national regulations, which constitutes an obstacle to a common rail network. In order to improve accessibility in Europe, the European Union has, since the early
Abstract Responsive web design is the technique lot of companies apply to their website today. The reason is, that with this technique the website’s content adapts nicely on all devices from mobile phones to desktops. IKEA recently followed this trend on some of their platforms and among these is their internal communication platform called IKEA Inside Outside. IKEA is not entirely satisfied in
Likt andra komplexa, flercelliga organismer, består den mänskliga kroppen av en mängd olika organ ämnade för olika uppgifter. För att kunna utföra dessa uppgifter är organen uppbyggda av olika sorters celler, med speciell funktion och struktur. Trots de stora skillnaderna mellan dessa celltyper delar de samma genetiska ritning, organismens genom. Genomet är indelat i olika gener, vilka beskriverMaintenance of stem cell pluripotency and the differentiation of stem cells into specialised cells has been studied extensively. More recently, the possibility for a specialised cell to be transferred into a state of induced pluripotency has been demonstrated and investigated. Critical components of the gene regulatory networks governing these processes have been identified, but a complete model h
This narrative study aims to examine how social pedagogues perceive and relate to violence and threats of violence in a social educational context in Denmark. Furthermore, the study examines how these perceptions affect the relational aspect of the profession. My interest in the subject is sprung out of personal experiences in multiple socio-educational projects. As such, my material is composed b
This essay concerns ring brooches in Lund from late Viking age and the Middle ages, 10th to 16th century. The purpose is first and foremost to typologize the ring brooches and to investigate the similarities and differences between them. Moreover, this essay investigate why the brooches change in form and decoration over the period of time and what these changes can disclose about Lund and how it
This thesis investigates the effect of visible articulatory movements on speech comprehension in L1 and L2 listeners of Swedish. Previous research found faciliatory effects on speech perception when speech was presented audiovisually in various settings and under diverse listening conditions for both L1 and L2 listeners. However, it is still not investigated thoroughly, how L2 proficiency affects
Denna studie utgår från två miljökampanjer som skapats med grund i Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model”, som kortfattat menar på att vi kan processa ett meddelande på antingen ett s.k perifert- eller centralt plan. Utifrån detta har vi skapat två kampanjbilder med fokus på miljöproblem, där den ena innehåller perifera- och den andra centrala budskap. Dessa användes för att uThis study stems from two environmental campaigns which have been created with Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model” as a foundation, which in summary says that we can process a message through a peripheral- or central mindset. Using this as a starting point, we created two campaigns that focus on environmental issues, one contains peripheral- and the other central cues. In o
Vindkraftverk är ett av samhällets främsta verktyg för en miljövänlig energiproduktion. Den konventionella designen av bladen är emellertid i stort sett oförändrad. Triblade är ny typ av design som har potentialen att revolutionera marknaden. Genom att använda en fackverksstruktur öppnar man för möjligheten att utforska andra materialval än de konventionella kol- och glasfibermaterial som anväIn the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. Winfoor, a Swedish company based in Lund,aims to break that trend. With their new Triblade
The vehicle industry is making great strides in electric and hybrid technologies, representing a significant step towards reducing emissions from personal vehicles. In order to make the transition to new hybrid technologies as convincing as possible, well-functioning and smooth transitions between traditional combustion engines and electric motors are required. So-called mild hybrids enable a cos
Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa
Ökad noggrannhet vid ATLAS experimentet Var kommer vi ifrån? Vad hände i Big Bang? Detta är exempel på några av många obesvarade frågor inom fysik. ATLAS är ett experiment vid CERN (Europeiska organisationen för kärnforskning), där tusentals forskare samarbetar med att undersöka produkterna från högenergetiska protonkollisioner, för att få svar på dessa frågor. En vanligt förekommande produkt The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. To perform these searches, many ATLAS analyses look
