Methods for monitoring seepage are important for the safety of embankment dams. Increased seepage may be associated with internal erosion in the dam and internal erosion is one of the main reasons for dam failures. Internal erosion progresses inside the dam and is difficult to detect by conventional methods. Therefore there is a need for new or improved methods. The resistivity method is a non-des

We analysed five data sets of night directions of migrating arctic waders ill relation to,winds, recorded by tracking radar and optical range finder, in order to find out if these birds compensate for wind drift, or allow themselves to be drifted by winds. Our purpose was to investigate whether arctic waders use adaptive wind drift strategies or not. The data sets were collected in Siberia (two se

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to define the scales and test the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ)-H&N35, a questionnaire designed to assess the quality of life of head and neck (H&N) cancer patients in conjunction with the general cancer-specific EORTC QLQ-C30.

Background: Few studies have compared the validity of objective measures of physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) in pregnant and non-pregnant women. PAEE is commonly estimated with accelerometers attached to the hip or waist, but little is known about the validity and participant acceptability of wrist attachment. The objectives of the current study were to assess the validity of a simple s

This brief article investigates the restrictions on Mainland Scandinavian relative clause extraction that have figured in the literature on island constraints. The conclusion is that none of these restrictions can be regarded as constraints on relative clause extraction per se and therefore that the peripheral status standardly assigned to Mainland Scandinavian relative clause extraction cannot be

The focus of this thesis is the issues regarding the administration of licensed academic resources in resarch libraries and the role of the research library when trading with these resources. It is explored what possibilities and dangers that comes with the ways that libraries handle academic resources, ways that are closely linked to the market criteria in which external commercial actors in diff

Historiskt sett har människor byggt sina hus med de material som den omgivande naturen gav. Både vass och lera är två sådana material som förekommer naturligt. Det som bl.a. skiljer dessa material åt är de processer som krävs för att de ska kunna användas som taktäckningsmaterial. Vassen skördas och torkas medan leran bearbetas och bränns för att slutligen bli en användbar produkt. I tidigare sven

Finansiella tjänster och transaktioner har länge varit undantagna indirekt beskattning. I följd av gångna kriser, både finanskrisen och eurokrisen, har debatten blossat upp angående beskattning av den finansiella sektorn. Efter G-20 mötet i Toronto 2010 startade arbetet på europeisk nivå, vilket 2011 resulterade i ett förslag till FTT-direktivet. I dagsläget är det endast 11 länder som godtagit diFinancial services and transactions have since long been excluded from taxes, when it comes to indirect taxes. After the past period of crisis, both the financial and the Eurozone crisis, the debate concerning taxation of the financial sector has enflamed. The work began on a European level after the G-20 meeting in Toronto 2010, which resulted in a proposal for the FTT-directive. There have so fa

På senare tid har den traditionella uppfattningen om jura novit curias tillämpning och existens i svensk rätt ifrågasatts med anledning av dess förenlighet med EKMR och praxis från Europadomstolen. Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är för det första att undersöka om jura novit curia är förenlig med art 6.3 (a) EKMR och dess krav på underrättelse av anklagelsen till den tilltalade. Är jura novit curiThe purpose of this essay is firstly to examine if the principle of jura novit curia is consistent to section 6.3 (a) of the ECHR which provides for a right for the defendant to be informed of the accusation against him. Is jura novit curia consistent to the ECHR in regard of this aspect? According to the text of chapter 30 and section 3 of the Code of Judicial Procedure, the court is not bound by

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om när det är berättigat att kriminalisera. Utgångspunkten har varit liberal straffrättsteori och studieobjektet har varit kriminaliseringen av narkotikabruk i Sverige. I uppsatsen undersöker jag huruvida de skäl som anfördes vid kriminaliseringen av narkotikabruk kan berättiga densamma utifrån relevanta principer från den liberala straffrättsteorin. Den liberala st
