En vegetationskarta och en digital höjdmodell har gjorts över ett 54 km2 stort område beläget på Svalbards västkust, vid Isfjorden. Vegetationskartan är baserad på flygbilder och en undersökning gjord i fält under juli månad 1994. Systemet som användes vid klassificeringen av de olika vegetationstyperna är utarbetad av Elven et al. (1990) för en liknande studie i Gipsdalen på Svalbard. Vår vegetatA vegetation map and a Digital Elevation Model has been generated over a 54 km2 area situated at the western coast of Svalbard, at the Isfjorden fiord. The map is based on aerial photographs and a field survey made during the summer of 1994. The classification system used is described by Elven et alia (1990), for a similar study in Gipsdalen in the inner part of Isfjorden. The classification of th

The 17th September 2001 the distributor Schenker started to cooperate with the computer systems manufacturer Dell to deliver Dell's products to the Nordic market. In the beginning of a new cooperation new processes are formed and they are often developed to solve the local, immediate problems without considering the overall picture. In the distribution network from Dell's plants in Ire

Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a major global healthcare challenge. This is, in part, due to the lack of treatment response and chronic course of MDD. Such a course of illness is often termed treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and is seen in over one-Third of people with MDD. Reasons for treatment resistance are not well established, nor is the definition of TRD. Duration and se

Ensuring high vaccination coverage is vital, particularly during a pandemic. While pre-booked appointment letters have shown promise in vaccination campaigns, their effectiveness in specific sociodemographic groups remains to be explored. Our study evaluated the effect of pre-booked appointment letters on COVID-19 vaccine uptake within different sociodemographic groups using a quasi-experimental m

Abstract Modal behavior of a GoughâStewart Platform (GSP) is sensitive to several variables related to its inertia, damping and stiffness as well as its complex 3-D geometry. To optimize its dynamical performance, due to the complications of this system, it is crucial to have the equations parametrically at the neutral configuration. However, in the literature, no complete parametric solution to t

Most aerobic organisms contain catalase which functions to decompose hydrogen peroxide. Typical catalases are structurally complex homo-tetrameric enzymes with one heme prosthetic group buried in each subunit. It is not known how catalase in the cell is assembled from its constituents. The bacterium Enterococcus faecalis cannot synthesize heme but can acquire it from the environment to form a cyto

TOI-2015 is a known exoplanetary system around an M4 dwarf star, consisting of a transiting sub-Neptune planet in a 3.35-day orbital period, TOI-2015 b, accompanied by a non-transiting companion, TOI-2015 c. High-precision radial-velocity measurements were taken with the MAROON-X spectrograph, and high-precision photometric data were collected, primarily using the SPECULOOS, MUSCAT, TRAPPIST and L

Human activities in deciduous forests over the past centuries have influenced associated species. To reduce extinction risks and mitigate population declines, there is growing interest in forest conservation and restoration, including initiatives by the European Union (EU). For resulting restoration and conservation practices to succeed, it is essential to know which forest characteristics promote

Background - The company is a Swedish manufacturer, developer and contract manufacturer of pharmaceuticals. In the last couple of years, the company has entered a growth phase which has led to issues with the internal processes such as material flow, warehouse operations and processes related to the production. The consequence has been occasional issues with delivering the products on time. As a r

The research work that is presented in this thesis aims at mapping out the various mechanisms which control the process of steel corrosion in concrete. The process of corrosion is illustrated with a schematic model where the service life is divided into a period of initiation and a period of propagation. The time up to the initiation of the corrosion process is determined by the flow of penetratin

The photodissociation of bromobenzene in solution was investigated with ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy following excitation at 266 nm. Ab initio calculations of lower singlet and triplet states were performed in order to guide the interpretations. The main feature of the kinetics measured between 300 and 930 nm in acetonitrile is a 9±1 ps decay, which we mainly assign to predissociati

Sediment successions in coastal cliffs around Mezen Bay, southeastern White Sea, record an unusually detailed history of former glaciations, interstadial marine and fluvial events from the Weichselian. A regional glaciation model for the Weichselian is based on new data from the Mezen Bay area and previously published data from adjacent areas. Following the Mikulinian (Eemian) interglacial a shelf

The notion of 'fluency' is most often associated with spoken-language phenomena such as stuttering. The present article investigates the relevance of considering fluency in writing. The basic argument for raising this question is empirical - it follows from a focus on difficulties in written and spoken language as manifestations of different problems which should be investigated separately on the

The degenerative process in Alzheimer´s disease (AD) follows a temporal and topographic pattern of early and accentuated involvement of temporal limbic, parietal and posterior cingulate cortices. We have studied a pedigree with four generations suffering from early onset AD linked to a presenilin-1 gene mutation. This family now contains 7 AD cases, neuropathologically confirmed in four cases of t

The aim of this research project is to study the role played by communication strategies on organisational reputation among the different stakeholders involved during the current COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. In doing so, this master thesis aims to understand how crisis communication aids the management of service processes and the construction of organisational image during crises. This study has

En studie testade den registrerades rätt till information enligt artikel 15 i dataskyddsförordningen. Resultatet av studien visade att många företag som testades i studien hade otillräckliga säkerhetsåtgärder för att verifiera den registrerades identitet. Genom att endast använda sig av publik data lyckades forskarna erhålla känslig information såsom personnummer och lösenord. I denna uppsats kommA study conducted showed that the many companies subject to the study had insufficient safeguards for verifying subject access requests under article 15. The researchers were able to obtain copies of the research subjects’ personal data. The personal information obtained varied in sensitivity from public records to Social Security numbers and account passwords. In this thesis I will examine differ

This thesis tries to answer how acts of homemaking can manifest with regard to four young adults in an urban environment. The paper takes a closer look at how the material takes form to create meaningful and concrete ways of navigating an uncertain landscape of adulthood in Stockholm, Sweden. Through the understandings of material culture made possible by Daniel Miller, Anat Hecht, Bodil Birkebæk

Housing affordability is an increasingly discussed political and economic issue. Recent research finds a negative relationship between housing affordability and mental health. Much of the prior research uses a ratio measurement for housing affordability. Using alternative measures of housing affordability, I re-examine the relationship between housing affordability and mental health. A fixed effec

In the face of global challenges such as regional conflicts, climate change and economic recession, the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic added a unique dimension to the complex landscape that governments had to navigate. Unlike other challenges, the pandemic's solution was theoretically straightforward – the only way to stop it was mass vaccination. However, the issue of vaccine hesitancy by
