We present the results of palaeomagnetic and Ar-40/Ar-39 studies of the Proterozoic mafic dykes in the Norrkoping and Falun areas of the southern Sweden. The primary remanence of two 939 +/- 3 Ma dykes is supported by the rigorous baked contact test. The remanence direction of two other dykes, one of which was previously U-Pb dated at 946 +/- 1 Ma is close to the reverse direction of 939 Ma dykes.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hormonerna vasopressin och oxytocin frisätts från hypofysens baklob. Hypofysen är en körtel, som är belägen på undersidan av hjärnan och utsöndrar en rad olika hormoner vilka i sin tur påverkar och reglerar aktiviteten i en mängd andra organ. Vasopressin medverkar till regleringen av vatten- och saltbalansen i kroppen, men verkar också sammandragande på icke-viljestyrdVasopressin and oxytocin seem to have pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhoea and preterm labour. Prostaglandins are also involved in the regulation of uterine activity with different receptors mediating both stimulation and relaxation. We explored different aspects of synthesis, release and receptor pharmacology of vasopressin and oxytocin. We also tested a vasopressin and o

Background: Moderately displaced two-fragment fractures of the radial head have been treated predominantly nonoperatively. Recently, however, open reduction and internal fixation has gradually gained interest, without clear evidence that initial nonoperative treatment leads to an unfavorable outcome. As a consequence, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the long-term outcome after the

We study here deterministic broadcasting in geometric radio networks (GRN) whose nodes have complete knowledge of the network. Nodes of a GRN are deployed in the Euclidean plane (R 2) and each of them can transmit within some range r assigned to it. We adopt model in which ranges of nodes are non-uniform and they are drawn from the predefined interval 0 ≤ r min ≤ r max . All our results are in the

Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignancy of bone. Cytogenetic data are available from close to 100 cases, including all subtypes of chondrosarcoma. Specific chromosomal rearrangements have been identified only in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC). Strong prognostic factors are largely missing, although size and, in particular, histologic tumor grade have been implicated.

Objectives: To compare in an in vitro kinetic model the pharmacodynamics of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin with a concentration-time profile simulating the human free non-protein bound concentrations of 400 mg moxifloxacin intravenous (iv) once daily, 500 mg levofloxacin iv once daily and 750 mg levofloxacin iv once daily against strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiell

Danmark och Sverige tillträdde den Internationella konventionen om avskaffande av alla former av rasdiskriminering (ICERD) 1971, i båda fallen utan reservationer i förhållande till artikel 4. Innebörden av detta är att staterna är bundna av de skyldigheter som ICERD artikel 4 stadgar, vilket innefattar att förbjuda all spridning av idéer som grundar sig på rasöverlägsenhet eller rashat, uppmaning Denmark and Sweden joined the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) in 1971, in both cases without any reservations in relation to Article 4. The implication of this is that both states are bound by the obligations of ICERD Article 4, which comprises the prohibition of dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority or hatred, incitement to ra

Purpose: To investigate if it is possible to earn abnormal returns from the accruals based trading strategy in Sweden. The aim is also to examine if the benchmark used when classifying firms into accruals portfolios has an impact on the abnormal returns from the trading strategy. Methodology: The study investigates the abnormal returns from the trading strategy that aims to exploit the accruals a

Bananpiren means the Banana pier and the name is a remnant from when ships full of bananas unloaded by the docks. The last banana ship left the wharf in the year of 2000 and since then the pier has mainly been used for different types of temporary events. Apart from when those are held, the pier is abandon with only one sheet shed still standing, as a glimpse of the piers former past as a freeport

This thesis treats the problem of positioning in WiFi networks and proposes a solution using hidden Markov models and particle lters based on sequential importance sampling with resampling. Hidden Markov models prove to be a powerful framework for this type of problem exhibiting both an intuitive and adaptive model structure. One of the diculties encountered when ltering this model is that it is i

Wind energy production is a section that became bigger and bigger thanks to the interests in finding new ways to produce energy that do not involve fossil fuels because of environment concerns, because of their costs and because of their limited amount. Even though wind energy was exploited also in the past, for example in wind mills, it is with wind turbines that all the problems affecting these

Jihadism has become a major topic in Western as well as non-western public debate. Many military groups have sprung up in late 20th and early 21st century, claiming legitimacy using jihad for a wide variety of causes ranging from Kashmir, Somalia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Nigeria. This leads to the question whether Islamist fundamentalism has been successful in project

The six participants, two in Sweden and four in Denmark, interviewed for this thesis are all organizational outsiders: they consult organizations on how to create diverse workplaces. The empirical, qualitative material is analyzed within an interdisciplinary framework consisting of feminist, queer, anti-racist, affect and critical diversity theories. The focus of the thesis concerns resistance fro

Innovation is gospel today. This also means a surge in popularity for the agents behind innovation; innovators. But who are they, exactly? Anecdotal evidence from both recent times and historical settings tend to emphasize remarkable individuals, who more or less alone created amazing things. By utilizing the SWINNO-database of innovations, this thesis examines how empirically prevalent the narrat

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur lärare ser på sin roll som förmedlare a

Artland är en reflektion kring relationen mellan människan och andra arter, samt en vision om hur stadslandskapet kan bli artrikare. Mängden vilda djur minskar drastiskt i världen, det är fler och fler arter som väljer staden som alternativt habitat och det finns ett behov av närnatur och sammanhängande gröna rum i den urbana kontexten. Detta ledde för mig fram till frågorna: Hur kan arkitekturArtland is a personal reflection on the relationship between the human being and other species, and a vision for how cities can be richer in species. The amount of wild animals decrease drastically all over the world, more and more species move into the city, there is a need for nature and green infrastructure in the urban setting for many species. This made me ask the questions: How can archite

Utbrottet av den globala pandemin våren 2020, inneburit omvälvande förändringar för i stort sett alla människor och verksamheter. Privilegier som fri rörlighet och mötesfrihet har sedan utbrottet bytts ut mot strikta restriktioner i de flesta länder vilket drivit många branscher in i krisläge och därmed förändringsarbete. Fastighetsbranschen är inget undantag. Sedan folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenSince the outbreak of the pandemic early 2020, the world has experienced disruptive change in many of its foundations. Privileges as free movement, the freedom of assembly and simply being able to go to the movies have been replaced by strict local and national policies, limiting humans and companies. The Covid-19 agenda has forced a lot of businesses into crisis mode with transformation as a cons

The usage of open source software is growing and with it, the number of vulnerabilities that attackers can utilize in order to perform malicious activities. In order to mitigate them, it is therefore important to develop effective means of remediating said vulnerabilities. This thesis compares two different solutions for automating vulnerability remediation in regards to time efficiency. Both shar

This paper empirically explores 10 years of play-by-play data from the seasons 2011-2021 from National Basketball Association with a comprehensive dataset with 2.7 million shots to test for a hot hand, (i.e., predictability in future outcomes) using three separate models. I find proof for its existence in all short-term categories using panel data as well as when adjusting for shot difficulty usin
