Intensive surveys of staging and wintering diving ducks in the Öresund area,southern Sweden, were undertaken during the winters 1995/96, 1996/97 and1997/98 as a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) related to theestablishment of a Fixed Link (bridge–tunnel–artificial island) between Swedenand Denmark. Monitoring of the benthic fauna made it possible to compare thecalculated food requi
The study analyzed the situational characteristics of 112 incidents where police used firearms to handle high threat situations. Most shooting incidents emanated from usually uneventful tasks, e.g., handling burglaries or disturbances. The assailants were commonly armed with firearms (26%), sharp (27%) or blunt objects (10%). The incidents were regularly short-lasting (in 39% were shots fired ≤3 s
Departing from two recently dated finds of human bones in wetlands from the area of Falbygden in western Sweden, this paper describes the finds in detail and sets them in a wider context of depositional practices in the south Scandinavian Early Neolithic. The two finds are both of girls in the age of 15-20 years, and in one of the cases it is probable that she was bound and possibly intentionally
We present new Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) 850 μm continuum observations of the original Lyα Blob (LAB) in the SSA22 field at z = 3.1 (SSA22-LAB01). The ALMA map resolves the previously identified submillimeter source into three components with a total flux density of S 850 = 1.68 ± 0.06 mJy, corresponding to a star-formation rate of ∼150 M o yr-1. The submillimeter sources
A superdeformed rotational structure is reported in the stable nucleus Zn-68. It has a transition quadrupole moment (Q(t)) of 2.5(-0.4)(+0.7) e b (beta(2) approximate to 0.4), as measured by the residual Doppler shift method. Theoretical calculations suggest that two different configurations are possible candidates for this band. One is built without h(11/2) neutrons, as seen in superdeformed band
Abstract Knowledge of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is required to detect and follow impairment of renal function, to allow correct dosage of drugs cleared by the kidneys, and for the use of nephrotoxic contrast media. Correct determination of GFR requires invasive techniques, which are expensive, slow and not risk-free. Therefore, GFR-prediction equations based solely upon cystatin C or creati
It is shown that the ternary system heavy water-heptane-hexadecyl hexaethylene oxide (C16E6) has a stable bicontinuous microemulsion phase down to an exceptionally low concentration at the balanced temperature of 26.8 °C. It is further demonstrated that the ambient gravitational field has an influence on the observed phase equilibria for typical sample sizes (∼1 cm). Direct measurements using a nu
The purpose of the present study is to try an alternative way of analyzing the ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response). The stimuli were complex sounds (c-ABR) as used in earlier studies. It was further aimed at corroborating earlier findings that this method can discriminate several neuropsychiatric states. Forty healthy control subjects, 26 subjects with the diagnosis schizophrenia (Sz) and 33 with AD
Mathias Strandberg’s doctoral thesis De sammansatta ordens accentuering i Skåne- målen (‘Tonal Word Accent and Stress in Compound Words in Traditional Scanian Dialects’) deals with the prosodic system of the dialects of Skåne in southern Swe- den. These dialects have two prosodic features that diverge from the situation in Standard Swedish. Both the dialects and the standard language have two tona
Bombus terrestris is one of the most commonly used insect models to investigate visually guided behavior and spatial vision in particular. Two fundamental measures of spatial vision are spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity. In this study, we report the threshold of spatial resolution in B. terrestris and characterize the contrast sensitivity function of the bumblebee visual system for a dua
A central point of departure for this socio-legal study about online hate crimes concerns the significance of analysing and understanding social norms in relation to these crimes on the Internet. This is of importance not least when one approaches the issue of how law and the legal system may contribute towards positive developments in this field and prevent hate crimes. It is apparent that law an
The purpose of this study was to develop techniques to quantify the propagation pattern of the electrical activation during atrial fibrillation (AF) along a one-dimensional catheter. Taking intra-atrial signal organization aspects into account, the atrial activations are detected and combined into wavefronts. Parameters describing wavefront consistency and activation order along the catheter are d
The overall aim of this thesis was to describe parent’s experiences, reactions and needs in connection with a routine ultrasound examination during pregnancy when the foetus was found to have an abnormal ultrasound finding. The data collection began in February 2005 and the one year cohort study was completed by March 2006. The participants in this study were each asked if they would also consid
The crystal structures of the binary cadmium-rich complex metal alloys NiCd6+delta (-0.32 <= delta <= 0.35) and NiCd1+delta (0 <= d <= 0.05) were studied by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The partitioning of the NiCd6+delta structure into clusters grouped around all 16 high symmetry points of the face centered cubic cell leads to the identification of two partial structures forming rep
Diskussionen om allmän kameraövervakning i förhållande till personlig integritet når ett djupare plan än de rent faktiska omständigheterna. Att en kamera sitter på husväggen kanske inte stör den förbipasserande just i det ögonblicket. Inte heller stör det kanske att de lokala livsmedelsaffärerna övervakar butikerna med kameror och bevarar materialet en tid. Den som inte har något att dölja behöverThe discussion about video surveillance in relation to privacy does not simply concern the outwardly apparent circumstances. A camera on the wall may not bother the passer by at that very moment, nor surveillance in the local supermarket or the fact that the pictures are saved for a period of time. It may be claimed that those individuals who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear. However, it
Solidariskt ansvar är huvudregeln när flera skadevållare gör sig skyldiga till en och samma skada. Solidariskt skadeståndsansvar innebär att skadelidande kan kräva en av skadevållarna på hela skadeståndsbeloppet som om skadevållaren skulle varit ensam ansvarig. Det krävs att de allmänna förutsättningarna för skadeståndsskyldighet är uppfyllda för var och en av skadevållarna. Den som har blivit krä
I slutet av 2010 upplopp i Tunisien ledde till att den Ben Ali regimen som hade styrt Tunisien sedan 1987 föll. Efter regimens fall gjordes efterfrågningar, till stor del från civilsamhället, angående hur man skulle hantera det förflutna i form av en process av övergångsrättvisa (transitional justice). I december 2013 antogs en lag om övergångsrättvisa. Lagen definierade perioden som skulle ingå iIn the end 2010 uprisings in Tunisia led to the fall of the regime of Ben Ali who had governed Tunisia since 1987. After the fall of the government request regarding how to handle the past in form of a transitional justice process was made, mainly from civil society. In December 2013 a law on transitional justice was adopted that defines the period that the transitional justice process is aiming o
Rehabiliteringsgarantin infördes 2009 som en åtgärd för att förebygga skadliga sjukskrivningar för personer med lätt till medelsvår ångest, depression, stressrelaterade besvär samt en del benigna smärttillstånd. Den som sökte hjälp skulle få rehabilitering och ett av rehabiliteringsalternativen var kognitiv beteendeterapi, KBT. Deltagarna i denna pilotstudie fick KBT-behandling inom ramen för rehaRehabilitation guarantee was instated in 2009 as a step to prevent harmful sick leave for people with moderate anxiety, depression, distress conditions, and partial benign pain-related disabilites. Patients who are in need of help would get rahabilitation. One alternative in rehabilitation is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Participants in this study got CBT-treatment as a part of rehabilitati
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if it exists a relationship between gender diversity on the board of directors and firm performance and to answer if a legislated gender quota for corporate boards would affect the performance of Swedish public firms. The approach in this study is quantitative and conducted on 48 large cap companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, during the time period 20
The Swedish government has a national goal that states all violence against women will cease to exist. This goal is a part of a national strategy that will take place between the years 2017-2026. One of the main focuses of the strategy is to work with the perpetrator to make sure the acts of violence are not repeated. Another main focus is to shed light on societal norms regarding masculinity and
