En utgrävning gjordes nyligen i övergången mellan kambrium och ordovicium i alunskifferformationen utanför Södra Sandby i Skåne. Under sökandet efter konodonter i en kalkstensbädd från understa ordovicium upptäcktes mikroskopiska sfäruler 0,1-0,5 mm i diameter. Har dessa ett biologiskt ursprung eller har de bildats genom någon rent kemisk/geologisk process? Då det finns stora likheter med rapporteMicroscopic spherules, 0.1-0.5 mm in diameter, from the lowermost Ordovician Rhabdinopora flabelliforme parabola graptolite Zone of the Alum Shale Formation in Södra Sandby, Scania, southern Sweden, have been investigated. The specimens have been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy in order to assess their affin-ity, taphonomic history, and possible relation to metazoan embryos. Diff

Interimistiska säkerhetsåtgärder är en viktig komponent i internationella skiljeförfaranden. Emellertid är institutet förenat med en rad oklarheter. Ett sådant element är de regelverk som reglerar beviljandet av interimistiska säkerhetsåtgärder meddelade av skiljemän. Vilka förutsättningar som ska vara uppfyllda för att en skiljenämnd ska bevilja säkerhetsåtgärder är inte fastställt, och olika tilThe institute of interim measures is an integral component in international commercial arbitration. However, there are uncertainties in terms of the procedural aspects of these measures. One pertinent issue is the legal frameworks that govern the granting of arbitral interim measures. The matter of what substantive standards and requirements to apply on requests for interim measures is unresolved,

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturkatastrofer är något som Sverige är relativt förskonat från. Massrörelser, alltså markrörelser i jordtäcke eller berg såsom lerskred, slamströmmar och bergras, är däremot relativt vanligt förekommande runt om i landet. Det är dessutom så att frekvensen av den här typen av fenomen förväntas öka i Sverige till följd av framtida klimatförändringar. De områdenRecent studies indicate a widespread but largely overlooked hazard of contaminant mobilisation and transport in connection to mass movement activity into surface water systems in Sweden. Concerns are exacerbated by predicted effects of climate change, which suggest national increases in rates of precipitation, pore water pressures, run -off, erosion and mass movement occurrence. In this study, the

The mast cell mediator histamine is involve in T2D pathogenicity Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder which is characterized by high glucose levels in blood and urine. Diabetes is one of the most expanding diseases in the world today. There are 2 major types of diabetes; type 2 diabetes (T2D) contributes with up to 90% of all diabetes subtypes. Patients with T2D compose up to 150 mill

The aim of this thesis was by a comparative study investigate the small Roman bust found in Västra Vång to increase the understanding of the context is which it was created. The comparative study was leaning on two hypotheses; that the bust was depicted with a so-called melon coiffure and that the bust was a depiction of a barbarian. Two catalogues was created on the basis of these hypotheses to b

This paper investigates the feasibility of OCA for ASEAN after the implementation of ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint in 2008. Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model with and without a structural break are used to identify whether the policy implemented facilitates the region to move closer to a single currency area. Industrial production index growth rate and change in short-term interest

Title: Lessons from the financial crisis – the importance of communication in a world where business is king. Authors: Peter Houli and Robert Sarvik Mentor: Asta Cepaite Nilsson Problem statement: Currently, seemingly few studies have been conducted with focus on how organisations have used issues and crisis management during the financial crisis. Furthermore, issues and crisis management as field

The purpose of our paper is to examine the relationship and interactions between oil price movements and stock market indexes in main two oil exporting countries - Russia and Norway from January 1998 to March 2011, and test how and to what extent oil prices together with other variables influence stock markets. Apart from crude oil price, we also include to our model some macroeconomic explanatory

Contemporary business trends are more and more shifting focus to the requirements of the customers. One of the most important factors for the customer is quality, both in the interface with the selling company and in the products sold. Tetra Pak is a pioneer within the packaging of diaries and food. The company has been profitable in most situations which have created a state of mind where quality

Using qualitative interviews with twenty recent graduates, this study explores how participants understand and experience career in the aftermath of the crisis. Overall, this study suggests that several dominant theories and practical storylines surrounding notions of career and career development present a static view that fails to take important contexts into account. We aim to provide a deeper

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om hur EU:s konkurrensrätt förhåller sig till rättsprincipen ne bis in idem. I och med att Förordning 1/2003 trädde i kraft 2004 så ändrades reglerna om tillämpning av EU:s konkurrensregler i grunden. I det nya moderniserade tillämpningssystemet på konkurrensrättens område så delar Kommissionen behörigheten att tillämpa EU:s konkurrensregler med nationella konkurrensThis paper addresses how the principle of ne bis in idem relates to the enforcement of EU competition law. Regulation 1/2003 came into force in 2004 and with this the enforcement system of EU competition law that had been in place for over 40 years was fundamentally reformed. Under the new modernized enforcement system of the EU competition rules, national competition authorities (NCAs) and nation

A recurring theme in debates on European Union politics is the lack of enthusiasm and involvement of European citizens in the decision-making and legislative procedures, which may appear complex and impermeable. While some scholars deny the existence of a democratic deficit, others fear that continued failure to bridge the gap between the political elite and the constituents will lead to an ever-d

The promotion of renewable energy sources (RES) has become a key measure within the EU to improve energy security and to mitigate climate change while offering opportunities for industrial development, job creation and regional cohesion. Over time this has put pressure for EU-level coordination and harmonization of national RES policy measures in order to improve effectiveness and market efficienc

In this work I have examined how two violin students, who are used to the classical music tradition, think when they learn to play Swedish folk music, with focus on rhythm and beating the time with their feet. One of the students is studying on her first year to be a classical violin teacher and the other student is studying on her third year to be a classical musician, both are studying at Malmö

This is a poststructuralist study of strategies of representation in the work of American artist Donald Baechler. Tracing late-modern discourse on consumer society and cultural fragmentation - as well as art historical debates on the demise of painting - in a number of paintings by Baechler, I attempt to shed some light on key issues in contemporary figurative art. The three central themes I expl

PURPOSE: Nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) have been suggested to relax smooth muscle by activating soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), binding to the same site of the enzyme. 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole (YC-1) (Cayman Co., Malmö, Sweden) increases the catalytic rate of sGC by binding to an allosteric site. We investigated whether YC-1 can modulate the relaxant responses o

OBJECTIVE: to determine the impact of Factor V-Leiden on the patency of peripheral vascular reconstructions. DESIGN: prospective, open and consecutive study. METHODS: a total of 775 patients, who were electively admitted between 1995 and 1997 to the vascular ward unit, were prospectively analysed for frequency of Factor V-Leiden mutation and patency of reconstruction (one month and one year). The
