In my paper I have compared popular science and neutral science regarding language and construction. My task was to find out if there are differences between the language of popular science and that of scientific science. The purpose of my paper is to answer four questions 1.How do the authors present the bogbodies and the mummies in the two categories? 2.What does the popular science imagine th
The purpose of this report is to compare different heating devices for future apartment blocks. The compared heating devices were district heating, geothermal heating, pellets heating and pellets heating combined with solar heating. The two main elements in the report compare the different alternatives with regards to their environmental impact and their lifecycle cost. The heating devices are als
Fildelning är ett vardagsbrott för en stor andel svenskar, trots lagstiftningen på området. Rättighetshavare har inte alltid själva möjligheterna att beivra brotten, av anledningar som främst handlar om polisväsendets bristande resurser och reglerna mot brottsprovokation. En ökad tendens att för rättighetshavarna att vända sig till privata företag som utreder fildelningsbrott märks tydligt. De priFile sharing is an everyday crime for a large number of Swedes, despite prohibiting legislation in the field. Copyright holders do not always have the possibility to prosecute the crimes for reasons primarily connected with the police’s lack of resources and the rules prohibiting entrapment. An increased tendency for right holders to turn to private companies in order to investigate file sharing c
Production companies are often exposed to rapid change and turbulent business environments, whilst the facilities and premises they conduct their business from are long term commitments with a lower turnover rate than most other assets. Decisions regarding real estate are complicated by nature and often yield long term consequences which could be hard to forecast. This dilemma between short- and l
The aim of this master’s thesis, as suggested by the title, is to study the usage of film in cultural history exhibitions. The subject arouse from queries such as: why are films so often included in cultural history exhibitions? And what do the films provide the visitors with? The thesis sees a distinct difference between the use of film in cultural history museums and the use of film in art museu
Issue of study: Knowledge management is recognised as an essential part of company strategy, with the potential to generate significant competitive advantage. The theoretical basis of knowledge management is well developed, however the practical implementation is not well adapted with regards to construction organisations. More research with a practical perspective regarding knowledge management
Within Scania there is a need to classify vehicles depending on the prevailing operation conditions. Different vehicles are exposed to various loads and this will influence the need for R&M greatly. The systems that are presently used for classification purposes are subjective and the owner’s negotiation skills can affect the outcome. Simultaneously there is a lack of knowledge concerning the
Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck blev känt i Sverige under 1990-talet, då de första uppmärksammade hedersmorden begicks i landet. Morden på Sara, Pela och Fadime väckte stor debatt i Sverige och man försökte hitta förklaringar till hur detta kunde inträffa och framförallt varför. Hedersrelaterat våld skiljer sig från andra våldsformer mot kvinnor på ett flertal sätt. Det som är viktigt att fram
Lake restoration practices based on reducing fish predation and promoting the dominance of large-bodied Daphnia grazers (i.e., biomanipulation) have been the focus of much debate due to inconsistent success in suppressing harmful cyanobacterial blooms. While most studies have explored effects of large-bodied Daphnia on cyanobacterial growth at the community level and/or on few dominant species, pr
Background Genome-wide association studies have so far identified 56 loci associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Many CAD loci show pleiotropy; that is, they are also associated with other diseases or traits. Objectives This study sought to systematically test if genetic variants identified for non-CAD diseases/traits also associate with CAD and to undertake a comprehensive analysi
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Chinese translation of the English version of the Person-centred Climate Questionnaire - Staff version (PCQ-S) for Chinese palliative care staff in a hospital context.DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional design. The 14-item English PCQ-S was translated and backtranslated using established procedures. Construct validity
The end-Ordovician extinction consisted of two discrete pulses, both linked, in various ways, to glaciation at the South Pole. The first phase, starting just below the Normalograptus extraordinarius Zone, particularly affected nektonic and planktonic species, while the second pulse, associated with the Normalograptus persculptus Zone, was less selective. Glacially induced cooling and oxygenation a
In this paper, I explore the practice of environmental management by international actors in institutionally weak states transitioning from peace to conflict (post-conflict) to analyse how these actors may fill an institutional and legal gap. This is of interest as it moves the governance of the environment in the post-conflict states from a domestic to an international level. In post-conflict sta
Patterns of future climate and expected extreme conditions are pushing design limits as recognition of climate change and its implication for the built environment increases. There are a number of ways of estimating future climate projections and creating weather files. Obtaining adequate representation of long-term patterns of climate change and extreme conditions is, however, challenging. This w
Purpose: [18F]flortaucipir binds to paired helical filament tau and accurately identifies tau in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, “off-target” binding interferes with the quantification of [18F]flortaucipir in several brain regions. Recently, other tau PET tracers have been developed. Here, we compare [18F]flortaucipir with the novel tau tracer [18F]RO948 head-to-head in vivo. Methods: We includ
Relative free energies for the binding of nine cyclic carboxylate ligands to the octa-acid deep-cavity host were calculated at the combined density-functional theory and molecular mechanics (DFT/MM) level of theory. The DFT calculations employed the BLYP functional and the 6-31G∗ basis set for the ligand. We employed free-energy perturbations (FEP) with the reference-potential approach and used m
Urbanisation is regarded as one of the most threatening global issues for wildlife, however, measuring its impact is not always straight forward. Oxidative stress physiology has been suggested to be a useful biomarker of health and therefore, a potentially important indicator of the impact that urban environmental stressors, especially air pollution, can have on wildlife. For example, nitrogen oxi
Tundra soils account for 50% of global stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC), and it is expected that the amplified climate warming in high latitude could cause loss of this SOC through decomposition. Decomposed SOC could become hydrologically accessible, which increase downstream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export and subsequent carbon release to the atmosphere, constituting a positive feedback
Can law still play a central role in governing human behavior even if the state law may have become less important? Whether law without the state is possible depends, of course, on how we define “law” and “state”. But it also depends on the perspective from which one approaches the legal material. From a sociology of law perspective, as will be presented in this chapter, the topic has a slightly d
In diffusion MRI (dMRI), microscopic diffusion anisotropy can be obscured by orientation dispersion. Separation of these properties is of high importance, since it could allow dMRI to non-invasively probe elongated structures such as neurites (axons and dendrites). However, conventional dMRI, based on single diffusion encoding (SDE), entangles microscopic anisotropy and orientation dispersion with
