Significant groundwater (GW) head decline due to excessive withdrawal is an essential hydrological concern in several major plains of Iran. The capacity of an aquifer to retain GW can be described through the storativity parameters. Traditional methods to define these parameters are costly, time-consuming, and sometimes ineffective. The storativity of an aquifer, irrespective of its confinement ty

Environmental loads, such as wind and river flow, play an essential role in the structural design and structural assessment of long-span bridges. Climate change and extreme climatic events are threats to the reliability and safety of the transport network. This has led to a growing demand for digital twin models to investigate the resilience of bridges under extreme climate conditions. Kalix bridg

The Gaia-ESO Survey is an European Southern Observatory (ESO) public spectroscopic survey that targeted 105 stars in the Milky Way covering the major populations of the disk, bulge and halo. The observations were made using FLAMES on the VLT obtaining both UVES high (R ~ 47 000) and GIRAFFE medium (R ~ 20 000) resolution spectra. The analysis of the Gaia-ESO spectra was the work of multiple analys

Background: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a lung cancer carcinogen. However, the genotoxic and mutagenic effects of Cr(VI) in humans at low-to-moderate occupational exposure levels are unknown. This study aims to investigate the relationship between occupational exposure to Cr(VI) and the presence of oxidative damage, genetic and epigenetic alterations. Methods: We included 113 Cr(VI) exposed wo

The radionuclide 14C is produced in all types of nuclear reactors mainly by neutron-induced reactions in oxygen (17O), nitrogen (14N) and carbon (13C). Part of the 14C created is continuously released during normal operation as airborne effluents in various chemical forms (such as CO2, CO and hydrocarbons) to the surroundings. Because of the biological importance of carbon and the long physical ha

När Europakonventionen inkorporerades som svensk lag betonades starkt att det var lagstiftarens ansvar att se till att kraven enligt konventionen, såsom de uttolkas enligt Europadomstolen, skulle upprätthållas. Ansvaret att upprätthålla konventionens krav låg inte på svenska domstolar. Europakonventionen ska enligt Europadomstolen tolkas dynamiskt och rättigheternas innehåll och omfång kan förändrAt the time when the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) was incorporated in Swedish law much emphasis was made by the legislator on the need to fulfil the requirements in the Convention as the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg interpreted them. The responsibility to fulfil the requirements was first and foremost laid upon the l

Uppsatsen redogör för rättsläget kring olovligt spridande av privata bilder på internet. I dagsläget bedöms sådant spridande vanligtvis som förtal i Sverige. För att något ska utgöra förtal ska en uppgift ha spridits som varit ägnad att utsätta personen för andras missaktning. Bedömningen av huruvida en uppgift varit ägnad att utsätta en person för andras missaktning och huruvida personens ära bli

När lagstiftarna kriminaliserar en viss gärning innebär detta att ett brott har skapats. Detta sker främst i syfte att avhålla människor från att begå handlingen i fråga. Men då en kriminalisering i förlängningen kan innebära ett straff, vilket är en mycket långtgående och repressiv form av myndighetsutövning, krävs att det finns vissa begränsningar för när en kriminalisering får ske för att dettaWhen legislators criminalise a certain act, a crime has been created. The main purpose of this is to deter people from committing the act in question. But as a criminalisation can result in punishment, which is a very severe and suppressive form of administrative supervision, it requires certain restrictions being made as to when such a criminalisation can be considered legitimate. A very basic pr

FN-stadgans våldsförbud sätter upp ett absolut förbud mot våldsanvändning stater emellan, och endast en situation av självförsvar eller med mandat från säkerhetsrådet kan en stat få rätt att göra undantag från förbudet. Detta till trots finns det många exempel på fall av våldshandlingar som går utanför förbudets ramar, så kallade humanitära interventioner, och man har i dessa situationer hänvisat The UN Charter sets up an absolute prohibition on the use of force between states, and only a situation of self-defense or a mandate from the Security Council can give the right to make exceptions to the ban. Despite this, there are many examples of cases of violence that goes beyond the prohibition framework, so-called humanitarian interventions, and to justify those operations references to inte

Several texts in the Old Testament discuss the Sinaitic covenant but not all of them present an established covenant form and concept. It is the elaborate and conscious covenant form that will be the focus of this thesis and we can see such an established covenant form e.g. in Deuteronomy. The thesis will critically evaluate and synthesize the major research positions regarding the origins of the

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skåne skiljer sig i många avseenden från övriga landet och variationerna i landskapets topografi och geologi är stora. Skåne rymmer därför många olika naturtyper. Tryck- och tänjningsrörelser i berggrunden har resulterat i de stora horstarna (”åsarna”), som genom förkastningsrörelser höjts över omgivande berggrund och bildar stora, långsträckta ryggar i landskapeThe Colonus Shale Trough (CST) is an important tectonic entity in the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ) in Skåne, southernmost Sweden. The fill comprises a Cambrian through Silurian succession dominated by fine-grained clastic sediments and subordinate limestone. Three deep wells were drilled in 2009–2010 by Shell in order to investigate the possibilities of extracting shale gas from the Cambrian-Or

The purpose of this essay is to establish the screenplay as a valid, and relevant, object for study in the field of film studies in order to stimulate further research within the field and for a more prevalent inclusion of screenplays in the general discourse of film studies. I argue that accounts of the screenplay as either literature or blueprints, which stand in ideological opposition to each o

In this exam paper the question of the meaning of 1 Cor 7:36-38 is addressed, a passage containing one case in which marriage is recommended and one in which it is not. To answer the question linguistic, literary and historical analyses are performed within the framework of an evaluation of eight proposed interpretations of the passage. In the first interpretation, labeled (A), the unspecified mal
