In the face of contemporary challenges such as globalization, climate crisis and a shifting labour market, digital technology is often presented as a solution and enabler for innovation. This is the case also within the area of higher education (HE), as universities are expected to adjust to societal trends framed as the knowledge-intensive economy, increased individualization, life-long learning In the face of contemporary challenges such as globalization, climate crisis and a shifting labour market, digital technology is often presented as a solution and enabler for innovation.

We present multiple-epoch radial-velocity observations for 104 stars in a field of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 4651 to . Only 13 stars (13%) of the full sample are field stars. From the 44 single member stars we find a mean radial velocity of , and the 12 single red-giant members yield a true radial-velocity dispersion of . Of the 19 giant members, 7 (37%) are spectroscopic binaries with

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie handlar om mediereception som pedagogisk form och meningsskapande över tid. Jag är intresserad av att förstå komplexitet i meningsskapande processer som utgår från medieproduktioner. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka vad mötet mellan en grupp lärarstudenter och deras texter kan erbjuda för möjligheter och begränsningar för meningsskapande över tid i The present study is about media reception as an educational form, supporting meaning-making over time. The thesis stems from the desire to understand the complexity in a meaning-making process that takes its point of departure in media productions. The aim is to investigate the possibilities and limitations for meaning-making over time, afforded by the meeting of a group of student teachers and t

In Sweden, municipalities organize a large share of public services but the conditions for providing these services differ considerably due to differences in size and wealth. In the wake of financial stress and New Public Management reforms the Swedish local governments seeks new ways to make both ends meet and still manage the services to be in line with the present (not the past) demands of the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dykresponsen Andningsuppehåll (apné) eller fridykning ställer stora krav på att så effektivt som möjligt disponera de förråd med syrgas som finns i kroppen. Känsliga organ såsom hjärnan och hjärtat kan inte klara sig utan syrgas någon längre tid. Huden, musklerna och magtarm-kanalen har däremot en större tolerans mot syrgasbrist. Kroppens syrgasförråd finns framför allThis thesis deals with cardiovascular and respiratory effects of apneas in humans. During apnea (breath-holding), a number of interacting cardiovascular reflexes are initiated, and together these reflexes are called the “diving response”. The main cardiovascular characteristics of the human diving response are reduced heart rate, decreased cardiac output, peripheral vasoconstriction, and increased

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kursiverade ord förklaras i ordlistan Ateroskleros (åderförkalkning) är en mycket vanlig sjukdom som börjar i tidig ålder med inlagring av bland annat kolesterol i kärlväggarna (aterosklerotiska plack). Om dessa utvecklas vidare leder det till förträngningar av blodkärlen med hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar som konsekvens. Man pratar om två sorters kolesterol; det goda

Streptococcus pyogenes is a major human pathogen with more than 500 000 casualties annually of which at least 163 000 are due to invasive infections. The remainder is due to post-streptococcal complications with rheu¬matic heart disease constituting the majority. S. pyogenes also causes milder infections such as skin infections and pharyngitis with an estimation of more than 700 million cases each

Antimicrobial peptides are evolutionally ancient parts of the innate immune system and their primary role is to protect us from infections. The human cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide, LL-37, not only possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial activities but is also able to bind and neutralize bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an important trigger of the widespread inflammatory response con

This thesis is inspired by the recent development within the Community concerning the standing of private parties to claims damages for harm caused by a breach of the EC antitrust rules. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) declared, in the cases of Courage and Manfredi, that this is a right deriving from the Treaty. In the wake of this change, the Commission has issued a Green Paper followed by a

This report is the final result of a project in the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering VBR054 at Lunds University, Faculty of engineering, spring term of 2010. The aim has been to practise problem solving and to apply knowledge from previous courses with the purpose of evaluating the public safety in case of a fire, on an existing object. The object is a building on an area previously belonging to

Punktlighet och förseningar inom järnväg är något som står högt upp på agendan i dagens samhälle. Med en infrastruktur som är i ett stort behov av underhåll samtidigt som trycket på klimatsmarta transportlösningar bara ökar, blir punktligheten och framkomligheten inom järnvägen avgörande. Med en total punktlighet på ungefär 90% finns det mycket att göra. En av järnvägens infrastrukturproblem är spPunctuality and delays within the railway system are of utmost concern in today’s society. With an infrastructure in a dire need of maintenance and the increasing pressure for environmentally friendly transportation solutions, punctuality and accessibility within the railway system becomes crucial. With an overall punctuality rate of approximately 90%, there is much to be improved. One of the prob

Molnens roll i klimatsystemet har studerats och deras påverkan på solens inverkan på jordens energibalans. Jordens albedo påverkar energibalansen genom att den påverkar hur mycket av solens instrålning som reflekteras eller absorberas. Moln påverkar jordens albedo och spelar därför en viktig roll i denna balans. Molnbildning sker till nära 100% i troposfären och där finns allt det vi kallar väder.The role of clouds in the climate system has been studied and their impact on the Sun's impact on the Earth's energy balance. The Earth's albedo affects the energy balance by influencing how much of the Sun’s radiation is reflected or absorbed. Clouds affect the Earth's albedo and therefore play an important role in this balance. Cloud formation occurs almost 100% in the tropospher

I Sverige, liksom i många andra rättsstater, finns regler om rättskraft. Till följd av dessa regler får ett avgjort mål inte tas upp till förnyad prövning, sedan målet slutligt avgjorts genom en lagakraftvunnen dom. Domstolarnas avgöranden ska därmed vara orubbliga och oföränderliga; ett synsätt som har sin grund i orubblighetsprincipen. I kontrast till orubblighetsprincipen står emellertid sanninIn Sweden, as in many other states governed by law, principles on legal force exist. As a result of these principles, an adjudicated case cannot be tried anew once the matter has been decided by a legally binding judgment. The rulings of the courts shall thus be firm and adamant; a rationale based on the principle of firmness. However, this contrasts with the principle of truth, which is based on

Tidiga bevis-reformen genomfördes 1 januari 2022, vilket innebar en modernisering av processrätten. Bland annat infördes en ny lagregel, 35:15 RB. Bestämmelsen medförde nya möjligheter att tillåta uppspelning av videoförhör som bevis inför rätten, något som tidigare varit möjligt enbart under vissa förutsättningar. Således innebar lagändringen en uppluckring i bevisomedelbarhetsprincipen, vilket äA reform on Swedish procedural law was implemented on 1 January 2022. Among other things, a new legal on evidence rule was introduced in The Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, chapter 35, sector 15 (35:15 RB). The provision brought new opportunities to allow the playback of video interrogations as evidence before the court, something that had previously only been possible under certain conditions

Enligt den gällande lydelsen av våldtäktsbestämmelsen går gränsen för straffbarhet vid huruvida målsägandens deltagande är frivilligt eller inte. Att fokus i bestämmelsen ligger på bristande frivillighet medför att svåra bedömningar måste göras av den tilltalades uppsåt. Det ska inte enbart göras en bedömning av den tilltalades mentala tillstånd vid gärningstillfället, utan dennes insikt ska även According to the current wording of the rape provision in Swedish law, the dividing line for criminal liability lies in whether the injured party’s participation was voluntary or not. The fact that the provision focuses on lack of consent entails that difficult assessments must be made regarding the defendant’s intent. It is not only a matter of assessing the defendant's mental state at the ti

Den juridiska termen allvarlig psykisk störning förekommer på flera områden inom den svenska lagstiftningen, i synnerhet inom straffrätten. Bedömningen av sinnessjukdom och det som idag benämns som allvarlig psykisk störning kan därjämte spåras långt tillbaka i rättshistorien. Examensarbetet berör de internationella rättshistoriska influenserna från biblisk tid fram till mitten av 1900-talet. I The legal term severe mental disorder appears in several areas of Swedish legislation, particularly within criminal law. Moreover, the assessment of insanity and what is today referred to as severe mental disorder can be traced far back in legal history. The thesis examines the international legal-historical influences from biblical times until the middle of the 1900s. In the Swedish context, th

Specifikationsprincipen har under många år varit föremål för diskussion i doktrin och rättspraxis på upphovsrättens område. Principen, som gäller för tolkning av avtal om överlåtelse eller upplåtelse av upphovsrätt, kan definieras som att inget mer av upphovsrätten än vad som uttryckligen anges i avtalsvillkoren ska omfattas av avtalet och att oklara eller omfattande rättighetsöverlåtelser ska tolThe specification principle has for many years been a subject of discussion in legal doctrine and case law regarding copyright. The principle, which applies to the interpretation of contracts concerning the transfer or licensing of copyright, can be defined as meaning that no more of the copyright than what is expressly stated in the contract shall be covered by the agreement, and that unclear or

3D city models are valuable tools for visualization and analytical purposes in the urban environment. A popular format for city models is CityGML, an open data model that can be used for storage and exchange of 3D city models. However, using city models based on CityGML has appeared to be a challenge as there is a limited number of software applications that are able to read them. Complexity in Ci
