The Roan peninsula in western Norway, Vestranden, is known for exposing one of the deepest parts of the Scandinavian Caledonian orogen, similar to the Western Gneiss Region. Throughout the Roan area, eclogites and high-pressure granulite- and amphibolite-facies gneisses occur, associated with supracrustal rocks including marbles, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolites. Although extensive research ha

Maskininlärning har under senaste årtiondet sett stora framgångar inom en rad olika fält. Grundidén bakom maskininlärning är att istället för att komma på ett smart sätt att lösa något komplicerat problem, så kan man skapa ett datorprogram som lär sig lösa problemet åt en. Sådana metoder för att lösa problem har funnit applikationer inom en rad olika fält, och används inom allt från självkörande bMachine-learning methods have in recent years seen a great deal of use in condensed matter physics. In this thesis we apply such methods, specifically machine-learning with artificial neural networks, to the equilibrium and non-equilibrium description of the Hubbard and Hubbard-Holstein models. In the framework of ground-state density functional theory we reproduce results from the literature rega

Ladyfest Sweden is a cultural festival which aims to create a cultural space of expression for women, thus the artists and the organizers are women. It is organized by three different groups in three different cities: Malmö, Stockholm and Göteborg. This thesis is focused on Ladyfest Malmö, all the field work being realized with this group. We tried to include this phenomenon in a global and a part

As welfare states are increasingly challenged and replaced by welfare mix models, new ideas about the functions of non-profit and voluntary organisations NPVOs) provoke political conflicts that should be reflected in research. This paper explores the significance of political and ideological dimensions to present Changes in the Swedish welfare state regarding NPVOs as welfare services providers. I

The study will be focusing specifically on the impacts that these entrepreneurs have had on the UK (regional) economy. In the last 20 years we have seen a wealth of studies analyzing the determinants of entrepreneurship. Though some of these studies are theoretical (e.g. Holmes and Schmitz, 1990), others are empirical (e.g. Evans and Leighton, 1990). The impacts of entrepreneurship, in terms of ec

Problem statement: When a home does not naturally present itself to one as a given, what chance does one have of choosing a home for oneself? Aim: To investigate the possibility for a root-weak individual of finding a sense of belonging, sense of rootedness, a home. Brief description of points of departure and disposition: This thesis has materialized out of personally felt frustration with questi

En sedimentsekvens bestående av en ryssborrkärna och en överlappande frysborrkärna, omfattande den översta metern lagerföljden har provtagits från sjön Inre Abborrtjärn i Torneträskdalen, Lappland, norra Sverige. Kärnan provtogs för analys av organiskt material och karbonater samt sedimentens sammansättning med hjälp av strukturanalys. Detta resulterade i ett högupplöst dataset som spänner över deA composite sediment sequence, consisting of a Russian core and an overlapping freeze core, comprising the uppermost meter of the sediment record, was retrieved from Lake Inre Abborrtjärn in the Torneträsk valley in Lappland, northern Sweden. The core was subsampled for analysis of organic matter content, inorganic carbon content and analysis of the sediment composition using a technique known as

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: För 420 miljoner år sedan, under den tidsperiod som kallas för silurtiden, låg Sverige vid ekvatorn. Stora delar av landet var täckt av ett grunt och tropiskt hav där bland annat koraller, bläckfiskar, trilobiter och havsskorpioner trivdes. Även Gotland låg under havsytan och det var under denna tid som den kalksten som utgör öns berggrund byggdes upp. Förutom dThe Late Silurian Lau Event is one of the three major events identified in the Gotland strata. It is associated with one of the largest stable carbon isotope excursion recorded in the Phanerozoic, as well as rapid lithology changes, and extinctions and faunal turnovers among various fossil groups. In this study, early vertebrates (fishes) were investigated over the Lau Event interval. The study wa

The trace fossil assemblages exposed at the Armorano road section in the Monte Sporno unit, Northern Apennines, Italy, occur in a turbidite sequence composed of fine-grained limestones (mudstones) and argillaceous limestones (wackestones) together with coarser grained calcareous sandstones and claystones, both turbiditic and hemipelagic. Fodinichnial vertical burrows of post-depositional origin an

The Bajocian Fuglunda Member of Eriksdal consists mostly of sand, silt and coal arranged in cycles (2-4m). Each cycle generally starts with organic-rich heteroliths at the base and further up ripple-drift cross laminated and horizontally laminated fine sand follow. The coal seams at the top of the cycles are of minor thickness. Signs of soil formation occur as coalified rootlets reaching down from

Liksom en trädstam uppvisar årsringar som kan användas för att beräkna dess ålder, bildas också tillväxtringar i tänderna hos många djur, även hos dem som regelbundet byter tanduppsättning. Detta fenomen noterades av paleontologen Richard Owen redan i mitten av 1800-talet, men det är först de senaste decennierna som forskningen inom tandersättningscykler hos utdöda djur har tagit fart. Så kalladeThe dentine of teeth from five genera of mosasaurs [i.e., Clidastes, Halisaurus, Dollosaurus (Prognathodon),cf. Platecarpus, and Tylosaurus] and a Mesozoic crocodylian (Aigialosuchus) from the Campanian of the Kristianstad Basin, southernmost Sweden, displays two types of incremental growth lines; i.e., von Ebner’s and, for the first time in extinct animals, Andresen’s lines. These lines are homol

The study examines a supporting female film character in drama film since 2006 until today. She is characterized through their work as a prostitute, stripper or dominatrix, and the lack of dramatic development that is often replaced by a contributory to the main character’s development. Where earlier studies of this character type has confirmed their role as a bad example, this essay emphasizes th

How many times have you heard that if children are in church they should be quiet and still? It was common to hear when I was young that children should go out as soon as they started making any noise. It was and is always a pleasure for everyone to hear the cute children singing a pretty song in church but afterwards there should be silence again! What I want is for the congregation to accept the

I denna studie undersöks grundvattnet i en vattentäkt (Nam Du) i Hanoi, Vietnam. Grundvattnet innehåller höga halter av ammonium (NH₄⁺) och arsenik (As). Arsenik är mycket giftigt och kan ha allvarlig inverkan på människors hälsa och är därför inte önskvärt i dricksvatten. Höga halter av ammonium i dricksvatten är inte skadligt i sig, men är ofta ett tecken på antropogen påverkan av grundvattnet, In this study high concentrations of ammonium (NH₄⁺) and arsenic (As) in groundwater are investigated in the Nam Du well-field, Hanoi, Vietnam. Arsenic is unwanted in drinking water since it has severe consequences for human health. High concentrations of ammonium in groundwater, while not directly harmful to human health, is often a sign of the groundwater being affected by anthropogenic activiti

The growing demand for network cameras to support real-time image processing and machine-learning applications has created a need for low-power solutions. Although technology scaling makes complex computations feasible, voltage scaling is limited, leading to higher power density and dark silicon problems. One potential solution is the use of Approximate Arithmetic Circuits (AACs). This effectively

The field of phylogenomics has emerged during the last five years, as the number of fully or partially sequenced genomes has increased rapidly. Using whole genomes for phylogenetic studies greatly increases the accuracy of the trees determined, and can potentially resolve phylogenetic questions that could not be resolved bu studies using only a few gene sequences. In the current thesis selected p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att reducera energianvändningen för belysning i byggnader är viktigt för att uppnå målet att minska koldioxidutsläppen. Ett sätt att nå målet är om vi kan förändra människors beteende vilket kan ge en stor energibesparing. Feedback rörande energianvändning har ofta använts för att förändra beteende, men effektiviteten hos detta tillvägagångssätt är mer ifrågasatt för apThe lowering of energy use from artificial lighting in buildings is vital to reaching the goal of reducing CO2 emissions. Hence, changes in individuals’ behaviours regarding lighting use have received increased attention. Feedback on energy use has often been used to change individuals’ behaviour. However, it is not clear to what extent this approach can be applied for non-residential buildings, w

Objectives In an acute heart failure (AHF) setting, proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) has emerged as a promising prognostic marker for predicting worsening renal function (WRF), while bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) has been proposed as a potential marker for congestion. We examined the diagnostic value of bio-ADM in congestion and penKid in WRF and investigated the prognostic value of bio-ADM a
