Linné glacier has retreated approximately 1.8 km since 1936 and 1 km between 1995 and 2019. Linné glacier is following the same trend as other glaciers around Svalbard. Linné glacier is a well-monitored glacier with a time series of air temperature, incoming solar radiation and snow height data since 2003. Annual recordings of the glacier margin from 2007, allows for an accurate reconstruction of

If there is suspicion of a crime in the event of a car fire, a legal assessment of the incident is made by an expert within the field. This assessment is a type of risk analysis where the assessment is based on the absence of any fire departments efforts. The assessment can be used as written evidence at a trial and thus form the basis for a decision in court. It is therefore important that these

I en enda droppe vatten från Öresund finns det ungefär 25 000 bakterier, vilket resulterar i att man kan få i sig en hel del bakterier när man badar i havet, speciellt barn och hundar som inte är så duktiga på att hålla munnen stängd vid bad. Lyckligtvis är de allra flesta av dessa bakterier goda som inte skadar dig men om du haft oturen att bada i vatten med dålig kvalitet kan du bli sjuk av exemThis master thesis has investigated if flow cytometry can be used to monitor bathing water quality on the beaches in Southern Sweden. The current method for monitoring the bathing water quality takes 3 days to get results about the concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria, E.coli and intestinal enterococci, and to get answers if the water is usable or unusable for swimming. These bacteria serve

Trots att barn under 15 år är inte straffmyndiga och därmed inte får dömas till någon påföljd kan brott de begår bli föremål för en polisutredning. När möjligheten för polisen att utreda brott begångna av icke straffmyndiga barn infördes på 80-talet var det främst för att resultatet av utredningen skulle ligga till grund för samhällets sociala insatser beträffande barnet, ett ändamål som ändrats m

The cost of developing and researching novel molecular compounds in the pharmaceutical industry is very high today. If an actor accidentally releases too much information about a novel molecule to the public the molecule becomes prior art, and as an effect, can not be patented. This has resulted in a fragmented space where collaboration across organizations is virtually non-existent. We propose a

Åt skogen med Sveriges sätt att bedriva skogsbruk? - Framtidens klimat kräver anpassning! Vem minns inte stormen Gudrun 2005 eller den extremt varma sommaren 2018?

Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett utbrett problem i samhället som innefattar systematiserat psykiskt och fysiskt våld. Våldets normaliseringsprocess leder till svårigheter att lämna relationen och kan i slutändan innebära att kvinnan ser dödande av mannen som den enda utvägen. Det råder en diskussion huruvida denna handling kan omfattas av nödvärn som ansvarsfrihetsgrund. Svårigheter råder i att avgöraMen's violence against women is a widespread problem in society that involves systematic psychological and physical violence. The normalization process of violence leads to difficulties in leaving the relationship and may ultimately entail that the woman perceives the killing of the man as the only way out. There is a discussion as to whether this act can be covered by self- defense as a basis

While the shadow

Det saknas, så vitt vi vet, information om hur barn upplever svåra situationer i vardagen, och framförallt hur de upplever känslor som skam och skuld när de har en förälder med långvarig smärta. Dessutom finns det i Sverige inte någon insats inriktad på barnen under dessa förhållanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva barnens upplevelse av skam och skuld av att leva med en långvarigt smärtThere is a lack, as far as we know, of information about how children experience difficult situations in everyday life and most importantly how they experience emotions such as shame and guilt when they have a parent with chronic pain. Moreover, in Sweden there is no effort focused on the children in these circumstances. The purpose of this study is to describe the children's experience of sha

The purpose of the study is to find out linkages between NGO’s accountability towards its bene-ficiaries and its financial independence. The paper is highly empirical and draws on the experi-ence gained from a case study of an NGO in Georgia.
