Popular Abstract in Swedish Kambrium är ett tidsavsnitt av jordens historia som spänner från ca 542 till 488 miljoner år sedan. Under denna tid utvecklades livet, främst djur, i en rasande takt genom något som brukar kallas den kambriska explosionen, en ekologisk förändring utan dess like. Bland de nya livsformer som fick de kambriska haven att koka av liv märks skalbärande djur som små armfotingaThis thesis is based on studies of Cambrian successions in Sweden, with particular focus on the middle Cambrian biostratigraphy and its correlative relationship to the proposed global agnostoid zonation. The investigated material, mainly trilobites, was collected from both outcrops and drill cores from five provinces in Sweden: Skåne (Scania), Öland, Västergötland, Jämtland and Lapland. The Almba

BACKGROUND: Factors such as age, sex, behaviour problems, fears, earlier traumatic hospital events and reactions to vaccination were assessed together with behaviour observed before premedication in order to evaluate their importance in predicting response to the anaesthetic process. The anaesthetic process was divided into four endpoints; compliance when given premedication, sedation, compliance

P>1. Environmental changes may not always result in rapid changes in species distributions, abundances or diversity. In order to estimate the effects of, for example, land-use changes caused by agri-environment schemes (AES) on biodiversity and ecosystem services, information on the time-lag between the application of the scheme and the responses of organisms is essential. 2. We examined the effec

Background and aim Pain is common and adds to the global burden of disease. However, individuals suffering from pain are a heterogeneous group in terms of pain spreading, intensity and duration. While pain influences overall health care consultation not everyone with pain consult health care. To be able to provide health care matching the patients’ needs increased knowledge about what factors dete

Background: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volu

In the 1980s, the earlier understanding that environmental problems are relatively simple was questioned. In order to handle the perceived complexity, several responses emerged. The Critical Load concept is a prominent example of such a response, which was introduced in thesecond-generation Protocols of the Convention of Long Range Transport of Air Pollutants (CLRTAP). The aim of this thesis is to

Avtalsbundenhet uppstår genom likalydande viljeförklaringar. När en part har givit ett anbud och en annan part en accept, har ett avtal kommit till stånd. Anbudet ska vara bindande och accepten ska vara ren och lämnas inom acceptfristen. Är så inte fallet kan det vara fråga om en sådan situation som genererar svarsplikt. Svarsplikt innebär att en part måste uppmärksamma sin motpart på att ett missBinding contracts arise from identical declarations of intent. When one party has made an offer and another party has made an acceptance, a contract has been formed. The offer must be binding and the acceptance must be qualified and submitted within the stipulated period for acceptance. If this is not the case, it may be a situation that generates a duty to reply. The duty to reply means that a pa

In 2017 Sweden's government changed the compensation levels for the municipalities' reception of unaccompanied refugees’ children to a level hoped to stimulate the municipalities to find cheaper solutions. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how social workers responded, managed and navigated under rapidly changing institutional conditions in order to analyze whether it was poss

Methodology – A questionnaire was developed based on previous research and the answers from a focus group. Data from 218 respondents were collected through convenient sampling by sharing the survey on

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how co-branding can be utilized by heritage brands to rejuvenate. The aim is to develop the current understanding of how heritage brands engage in co-branding and the motives for rejuvenating the brand. Design/Methodology/Approach: This conceptual paper adopts a theory about the five elements to identify heritage brands as first introduced by Ur

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) är en benämning på ett högkvalitativt kollektivtrafiksystem som utvecklades under mitten av 1900 – talet och blev känt efter att det framgångsrikt implementerades i staden Curitiba i Brasilien. I Sverige används BRT som ett komplement till övrig kollektivtrafik medan det i stora städer runt om i världen fungerar som stommen i kollektivtrafiksystemet. För BRT i Sverige finnsBus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a name for a high – quality public transport system that was developed in the middle of the 19th century and became known after it was successfully implemented in the city of Curitiba in Brazil. In Sweden, BRT is used as a complement to other public transport, while in large cities around the world it functions as the frame of the public transport system. For BRT in Swed

I have always been curious about the effects architecture and the built environment have on us. The special atmosphere and the ability to arouse a sense of safety and calmness, but also the negative feelings certain spaces can evoke. Which architectural elements contribute to the way we perceive a space and more importantly, does the built environment not only affect our emotions but also our ment

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a space borne gravitational wave detec- tor set to launch in 2034, with the objective of detecting and studying the Gravitational Waves (GWs) of our universe. So far, ground-based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have been successful in detecting GWs, but the limitations of ground based detectors is wh

The aim of this study was to examine attitudes surrounding the needle exchange program in Malmö and Lund in Sweden. More specifically the aim was to examine how the staff of the needle exchange program experience the attitudes surrounding the needle exchange program and if/how these attitudes affect them in their work. The analysis of nine interviews with staff members revealed similarities in how

What level of influence should market actors be allowed to exert over consumers’ transactional decisions? While persuasive marketing is inherent to free markets and therefore uncontroversial, relatively recent research in the field of behavioural economics about systemic errors in human decision-making has shown just how susceptible consumers are to the will of market actors. Within a rapidly evol

Organiserad brottslighet och kriminella nätverk är termer som har dominerat medier på sista tiden. Det är även något som regeringen har bestämt sig för att lägga fokus på. Regeringen släppte nyligen ett nytt direktiv där de avser att se över de osjälvständiga brotten i 23 kap. BrB för att bättre bekämpa organiserad brottslighet. Den här uppsatsen ämnar göra samma sak, med fokus på brottet underlåtOrganized crime and criminal networks are terms that have been dominating Swedish media in recent times. It is also something that the government have decided to pour their attention on. Recently the government released a new directive in which they intend to revise and possible overhaul the so called “dependent crimes” in the 23rd chap. BrB to better combat organized crime. This essay aims t

De senaste åren har den organiserade brottslighet i Sverige ökat markant. Landet pekas ut som skräckexempel i världen och antalet skjutningar och sprängningar ökar år för år. Samtidigt finns en utbredd tystnadskultur där allt färre svenskar vågar vittna mot den tilltalade vid ett misstänkt brott på grund av rädsla för hot och repressalier. Mot bakgrund av den otrygghet många känner i dagens samhälIn recent years, organized crime in Sweden has grown significantly. The country is pointed out as a warning example in the world, while the number of shootings and explosions increases year by year. At the same time, there is a widespread culture of silence due to which many witnesses do not dare to testify against the accused in the event of a suspected crime, partly out of a strong fear of threa

Malawi är ett land i södra Afrika och betraktas som ett av de fattigaste länderna i världen. Befolkningen lever framför allt på landsbygden och är helt beroende av jordbruk för att överleva. Det finns dock inga register och ingen säkerställd rättighet över marken de brukar. Användandet av geografiska informationssystem, GIS, ökar runt om i världen. Hos ett jordbrukskooperativ i Malawi, NASFAM, fiMalawi is a country in southern Africa and considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. The main part of the population lives in rural areas and is completely depending on farming for their livelihood. There are, however, no records of land registration or tenure for the smallholder farmer. The use of geographical information systems, GIS, is increasing around the world. At a small

Enligt tradition har sexualbrotten varit s.k. egenhändiga brott som förutsätter att gärningspersonen själv utfört den relevanta handlingen. För sexualbrotten är det den sexuella komponenten. Sexualbrottslagstiftningen syftar till att skydda den sexuella integriteten och självbestämmanderätten för att förhindra att människor utsätts för påtvingade sexuella handlingar. I juni 2015 avgjordes ett mål Due to tradition, sexual abuse has always been regarded as a crime that presupposes the perpetrator to perform the relevant act in person. For sexual offences, the relevant act is the sexual component. The legislation on sexual offences aims to protect sexual integrity and the right of self-determination in order to prevent coerced sexual acts on individuals. In June of 2015 The Supreme Court deci
