This thesis concerns the patterns of organization visible within the context that is the Scanian runestones in relation to roads, organized clustering and energy-conservativity. As well as the digital methods increasingly used to analyze such patterns. Using FMIS databases and LIDAR-elevation data it analyses the long, spread out lines of runestones visible in the landscape through GIS spatial-sta

Merparten studier som har undersökt hur nattjour påverkar prestation, hälsa och säkerhet, har genomförts i USA där det är vanligt med mycket långa arbetsveckor och arbetspass. Aktuell studie avsåg undersöka effekter av nattjour beträffande kognitiv funktion, riskutsatthet och belastning, under förhållanden representativa för svensk sjukvårdsorganisation. I studien deltog 30 läkare i södra Sverige,Most studies examining how on call duty nighttime affects performance, health and safety, were conducted in the United States where long working weeks and shifts are common. The current study examined the effects of on call duty nighttime on physician´s performance and strain under conditions representative for Swedish healthcare organization. The study enrolled 30 physicians from southern Sweden,

Förvaltningsbeslut som gått den enskilde emot kan överklagas i enlighet med bestämmelserna i förvaltningslagen (1986:223). Denna ordning gäller för samtliga som befinner sig under svensk jurisdiktion oberoende av medborgarskap och oaktat huruvida personen i fråga har tillstånd att vistas i landet eller inte. Dock tillåts inte alla beslut fattade av svenska förvaltningsmyndigheter överklagas enligtDecisions made by the public administration of the Swedish state can be appealed in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (förvaltningslagen, 1986:223). The Administrative Procedure Act is applicable to anyone who is under Swedish jurisdiction regardless if the person has a permit to reside in Sweden or not. However, all decisions by public administration cannot be appealed in accordanc

Lagstiftningen på diskrimineringsområdet har utvecklats mycket sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Idag finns såväl internationella konventioner som regionala och nationella bestämmelser vars syfte är att motverka diskriminering inom olika samhällsområden. Den svenska nationella rätten har i stor utsträckning påverkats av EU-rätten och dess utformning. I Sverige finns idag ett skydd mot diskriminering på Legislation in the field of discrimination has developed a lot over the past decades. Today, there are international and regional conventions as well as national legislation aimed at combating discrimination in various fields of the society. EU law and its design have largely influenced Swedish law. In Sweden today, the grounds on which discrimination is forbidden are sex, gender identity or expre

Att företag köper upp andra företag är en viktig del av näringslivet. Det är ett sätt för företag att snabbt växa och tillskansa sig värden som gör företaget starkare. En företagsöverlåtelse är dock inte riskfri. Den är ofta kostsam och det finns inga garantier för att köpet lönar sig. Det köpande företaget kan dock till viss del skydda sin investering genom att i överlåtelseavtalet föra in en konCorporate acquisitions are a vital part of the business world. They are a way to ensure growth. They are also a good way of adding values to the company, which in turn makes the company stronger. However, an acquisition is not risk free. It is often expensive and there are no guarantees that the acquisition will be profitable in the end. The buyer can to some extent protect its investment with a n

This study advances a broad analytical perspective intended to critically evaluate the predominant definitions of information operations (IO). The prevalent concepts of IO are challenged due to their reliance on unidirectional communication flow models that cannot account for the characteristics of produsage media, nor the culturally specific, interpersonally contextualized sense making processes

The rapid growth in hedge funds has triggered an international debate on the risks involved with their operations and potential negative effects on the financial system. The rise and fall of Long Term Capital Management - which prompted the US Federal Reserve to engineer a bail-out - still haunts the sector 10 years on. Simultaneously we have to admit that markets and investors benefit from a wide

This thesis is a comparative analysis of five cases, in which criminal responsibility and mental disorder were in issue. Andrea Yates drowned her five children. John W. Hinckley Jr shot and injured President Ronald Reagan. Kjeldsen raped and assassinated a taxi driver on his way from Calgary to Banff. Mijailo Mijailovic attacked and killed the Swedish minister of foreign affairs Anna Lindh. Sara S

Due diligence is a quite old concept. Already in the end of the 19th century, it was discussed in matters concerning neutrality. Since then, the concept of due diligence has extended to other areas of law. The fields of international law under examination in this thesis are international environmental law, the protection of the marine environment, diplomatic law, the treatment of aliens and the se

Combining multiple III-V materials into axial nanowire heterostructures has enabled the fabrication of custom nanowire-based devices useful for a wide range of applications. However, our ability to form axial heterostructures between arbitrary combinations of III-V compounds is impeded by a lack of information on the dynamics of the heterojunction formation process, often resulting in suboptimal h

The recent decades have been characterised by a trend where the public sector's been inspired by several methods and strategies from the private sector. The public library is in this case no exception. In this context there are different perspectives on whether or not this will lead to a dramatic change of the role and values of the traditional public library. The aim of this master's thes

Skådespelaryrket kräver mycket av en människa både intellektuellt, färdighetsmässigt och fysiskt. Det förväntas också ofta av en skådespelare att vara musikalisk. Musikalitet kan yttra sig på olika sätt. I skådespelarsammanhang vill jag påstå att musikalitet kan finnas i allt från texthantering till hur man rör sin kropp. Jag är rytmikpedagog, men har också arbetat som skådespelare. Syftet med det

Many economic models contain the single variable 'money'. Money does not exist in the form of a single physical unit and it is common to construct monetary aggregates using the method of simple summations. Monetary aggregation theory lends little or no support to the method of simply summing various monetary asset components up to arbitrary levels of aggregation. In monetary aggregation theory, mo

In a 5-year study involving 119 postmenopausal women, zoledronic acid 4 mg given once-yearly for 2, 3 or 5 years was well tolerated with no evidence of excessive bone turnover reduction or any safety signals. BMD increased significantly. Bone turnover markers decreased from baseline and were maintained within premenopausal reference ranges. Introduction After completion of the core study, two cons

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of low dose dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in glucocorticoid treated female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Forty one women (>= 5 mg prednisolone/day) were included in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study for 6 months where DHEA was given at 30 mg/20 mg (<= 45/>= 46 y

The etiology of exercise-induced rib stress fractures (RSFs) in elite rowers is unclear. The purpose of the study was to investigate thoracic muscle activity, movement patterns and muscle strength in elite rowers. Electromyographic (EMG) and 2-D video analysis were performed during ergometer rowing, and isokinetic muscle strength was measured in seven national team rowers with a history of RSF and

Background Open abdomen (OA) treatment often results in difficulties in closing the abdomen. Highest closure rates are seen with the vacuum-assisted wound closure (VAWC) technique. However, we have experienced occasional failures with this technique in cases with severe visceral swelling needing longer treatment periods with open abdomen. Feasibility and short-term outcome of a novel combination o

During the last decades a striking decline has been observed for wild bees throughout central and north-western Europe, including Sweden. in an area of 64 km' in the parish of Stenbrohult, southern Smaland Andrena hattorfiana, Andrena humilis, Nomada armata and Panurgus hanksianus were studied (in Sweden red-listed as VU, EN, EN and VU). We present occurrence patterns in relation to habitat types
