Soil and water acidification was internationally recognised as a severe environmental problem in the late 1960s. The interest in establishing “critical loads” led to a peak in weathering research in the 1980s and 1990s, since base cation weathering is the long-term counterbalance to acidification pressure. Assessments of weathering rates and associated uncertainties have recently become an area of

Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center ten- ants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to provide timing sensitive services. One such is virtual net- working services, so called services chains, which consist of several interconnected virtual network fu

Until recently fish welfare attracted little attention, but international and national legislation and standards of fish welfare are now emerging and an overview of these developments is presented in this study. Whereas animal welfare legislation is based on public morality, animal ethics does not automatically accept public morality as normative and elaborates arguments regarding the way humans s

We have carried out a prospective, longitudinal 30-year review of 95 adolescents who underwent total meniscectomy in one knee, and have compared the results with those observed 13 years earlier. All the medical records were scrutinized. Of the 63 patients reviewed clinically, 47 reported decreased sporting activity, although subjective satisfaction rose by 3% to 71%. The scores on the WOMAC ostcoa

Problemformulering: Hur ser informationsflödet mellan leverantör och entreprenör ut och vilka icke värdeskapande aktiviteter finns idag kopplade till en bristfällig leveransplanering? Kan dessa aktiviteter reduceras med befintligt systemet eller finns önskemål att ändra eller ta fram en helt annan typ av system? Syfte: Att ge läsaren en god inblick i hur det arbetars med materialförsörjning på enProblem: This study examines problems in the Construction supply chain. Most industries have already included use of assistive technology in their daily work and I will research if it is possible to implement a system for delivery planning in the construction industry to reduce non-value adding activities. A system designed for construction delivery planning has been developed. In order to grow an

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att kritiskt analysera Lag (1970:943) om arbetstid m.m. för husligt anställda – även kallad hushållslagen - ur två perspektiv; dels ett rättshistorisk, dels ett genusrättsligt. Den senaste legostadgan från 1833 var snarare en befolkningspolitisk lagstiftning än en arbetsrättslig sådan. För att undvika belastning på samhället föreskrev den tjänstetvång för alla myndigaThe purpose of this essay is to analyse the Swedish Domestic Work Act (1970:943) from two perspectives; one legal historical and one gender perspective. The latest so-called legostadga from 1833 worked more as legislation for population policy than for labour regulations. In order to avoid putting pressure on society, it forced all citizens who were of age and unable to support themselves to work

Föreliggande studie har undersökt implementering av terapeuters erhållna kunskaper efter att ha genomgått vidareutbildning i biologisk traumabehandling, som är en utbildning för behandling av trauma med utgångspunkt i kroppen. Två frågeställningar har studerats: 1) Vilket kunskapsinnehåll och vilka kunskapsformer står i fokus när terapeuterna reflekterar över sin praktik i biologisk traumabehandliThe purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of knowledge acquired by therapists after having taking part in a further education course of biological trauma treatment, which aimed at using the body as a starting point for trauma treatment. Two issues have been studied: 1)What content of knowledge and what forms of knowledge have the therapists reflected about in their practice of bio

Uppsatsen behandlar den rättsliga hanteringen av personlig och sexuell integritet i dagens samhälle. Den utreder även det särskilt skyddsvärda i den sexuella integriteten. Uppsatsen grundar sig i en teori om att sexualbrott är starkt förknippade med kön, makt och sexualitet där offret oftast är en kvinna och gärningsmannen en man. Därför anlägger uppsatsen ett feministiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen This essay focuses on personal and sexual integrity and how they, as two protective interests, are dealt with in the legislation process and in criminal law in general in today’s society. It especially focuses on the specific characteristics of sexual integrity and sexual crimes. The essay is based on a theory that sexual crimes are strongly connected to gender, power and sexuality where the victi

This essay examines how the FBI describes disinformation that constitutes a threat to American democracy while also originating within the domestic political system. A starting point is that such depictions reveal how security organizations construct threat assessments in a politically sensitive environment. By comparing depictions of disinformation after the elections of 2016 and 2020, this essay

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka begreppet "brottslighetens art" i 30 kap. 4 § BrB. Brottslighetens art utgör ett skäl för att välja fängelse vid påföljdsvalet och är främst av vikt för att avgöra om fängelse ska väljas vid lägre straffvärden. Uppsatsen tillämpar en rättsdogmatisk metod för att undersöka den rättsliga innebörden av brottslighetens art och varför brottslighetens art inf

The Lunar Light House project was developed to provide a novel system of protection against cosmic radiation specifically for a surface Lunar base. It’s main target was to find a technical solution which would allow for more freedom in shaping the base structure and also potentially for introducing natural sun light. At the time of developing this project, there seldom were any ideas as to how t

An internal tandem duplication of FLT3 (FLT3/ITD) occurs in approximately 25% of newly diagnosed AML. PKC412 inhibits the growth of leukemic cell lines with FLT3 mutations such as the MV4-11. This study evaluated the in vitro effects of the combination of PKC412 and ara-C or daunorubicin, studying the effect of co-incubation, pre-incubation and sequential incubation of the drugs in patient samples

Genom rättens historiska utveckling har åsikterna om hur de psykiskt störda lagöverträdarna ska behandlas gått isär, men särbehandlingstanken har hela tiden funnits med. Utgångspunkten i den svenska rättsordningen är att psykiskt störda lagöverträdare som begår brott ska dömas till ansvar för det. För de som räknas som allvarligt psykiskt störda ges viss särbehandling vid påföljdsvalet. En allvarlThroughout the development of Law, opinions regarding the treatment of mentally disturbed offenders have varied. The idea that they should be treated differently has however always existed. The starting point of the Swedish legal system is that mentally disturbed offenders should be sentenced. Those who are seriously mentally disturbed can however be treated differently in sentencing. A serious me

Finally a description of a method to transfer data from the current database to the new is given, together with a smaller implementation. CIDS – Center of Investigation of Demography and Health is located in Nicaragua, Le

En fri rörlighet för tjänster inom EU innebär en fri rätt för arbetsgivare att tillhandahålla tjänster på lika villkor i alla medlemsstater. Rätten till tjänsters fria rörlighet har dock gett upphov till en rad olika problem när det kommer till området för utstationering av arbetstagare. För att förhindra arbetsgivare från att exploatera sin arbetskraft genom social dumpning vid utstationering harA free movement of services within the EU amount to a free right for employers to provide services on equal terms in all member states. The right to free movement of services has however given rise to a number of problems when posting workers. In order to prevent employers from exploiting its workforce through social dumping when posting workers, the EU has established a minimum protection for the

This paper examines how the concept ‘nature-positive’ as a means to enhance biodiversity is defined and used, viewed through the lens of power. Building on a three-dimensional conceptualization of power, we elaborate on i) how ‘nature-positive’ enters and remains on business and policy agendas, ii) different interpretations from both ecological and business perspectives, and iii) the governance of

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of the review is to show the similarities between haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN) and foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) and to describe the background and challenges related to the current endeavours of developing a prophylaxis against FNAIT. The rationale for this prophylaxis is similar to the prophylaxis which has been used

Road verges can harbour a diversity of flowering plants and may be useful foraging habitats for pollinating insects in landscapes where flower-rich habitats are scarce. Targeted management of road verges can further enhance flower abundance, thereby potentially benefitting flower-visiting insects. However, traffic on the adjacent road could pose a risk, such that flower-rich road verges instead ac
