Under slutet av 1500-talet och början av 1600-talet utgjorde La Rochelle den viktigaste reformerta enklaven i Frankrike. I denna artikel studerar jag hur religionsstriderna, både de faktiska händelserna och de olika rykten som cirkulerade, framträdde i den reformerta prästen Jacques Merlins anteckningar från 1589 till 1620.

The magnetic ordering and bistability of one-dimensional chains of endofullerene Dy2ScN@C80 single-molecule magnets (SMMs) packed inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and ab initio calculations. X-ray absorption measurements reveal that the orientation of the encaps

I estimate a demand model for car inspection services to investigate car owners' choice of stations and its implications for competition, and to evaluate the impact on consumer welfae of removing the state monopoly on inspection services. Using detailed data on car owners' choices of station in the Swedish motor vehicle inspection market, I find that car owners are willing to pay SEK 41 or 9\% mor

Evidence for unbroken continuity of tree taxa over the last c. 13,500 years is presented from a biodiversity ‘hotspot’ nature reserve in south-west Sweden.Forest composition, continuity, fire and disturbance events are reconstructed using palaeoecological methods. A lake record reveals that Pinus sylvestris,Betula spp., Salix spp., Populus tremula and Hippophae rhamnoides were the initial trees sc

The work presented in this thesis has aimed to improve the knowledge about the groundwater occurrence in different geological conditions in Mozambique. The main focus in this study has been on the understanding of hydrogeological conditions in area with little background information by use of geophysical investigation. The lack of background information is a problem in many countries because the e

Öppenskär är en ö i Blekinges östra skärgård. Ön, som är belägen vid en av de farleder som leder in till Hallarumsviken, har fram till för några få år sedan inte rönt något större arkeologiskt intresse. Vid arkeologiska undersökningar åren 2014 och 2015 har det dock i ett klapperstensområde på ön påträffats mycket speciella arkeologiska fynd som förbryllar och förvånar. Föremålen som framkom bland

This article explains perceived loneliness among people in Europe by accounting for cultural factors as well as social isolation. Culturally, it measures the impact of both personal and societal individualism-collectivism on loneliness. It accounts for social isolation by looking at the separate effects of living alone, emotional isolation, and relational isolation. Using a 2014 European Social Su
