Popular Abstract in Swedish Stjärnors radialhastigheter har i mer än ett sekel haft betydelse för studiet av Vintergatans och stjärnhoparnas kinematik. Radialhastigheten är den hastighet en stjärna, eller ett annat objekt, har längs synlinjen från en given observatör. Hittills har radialhastigheter bestämts med hjälp av spektroskopi, genom att observera spektrallinjer vars vilovåglängder är kända.This work demonstrates the determination of absolute stellar radial velocities from geometrical principles, i.e. using astrometry. Such `astrometric radial velocities' are obtained independently of spectroscopic information. While spectroscopic radial velocities are affected by line shifts from astrophysical processes on the stellar surfaces, by gravitational redshift and various other effects, as

The development of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources is of importance in order to prevent the depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere caused by the commodity plastics of today. However, to be able to replace these non-environmentally friendly materials, production costs of biodegradable polymers have to be decreased and their physica

Filamentous fungi produce asexual dispersive spores (conidia), when conditions are not suitable for apical extension growth. Conidiation (the process by which conidia produced) in genus Penicillium has attracted considerable interest because of its wide usage in different areas. In addition, several Penicillium species are pathogenic toward humans and plants, causing crop spoilage as well as decay

This paper presents a preliminary model of the occupational history of the valley bottoms at the edges of the bed of the Quequén Grande River (Argentina) during the late Holocene. The ultimate goal of the research is to situate some aspects of technology, mobility, land-use patterns and settlement systems as a proximal consequence of a long-term process of 'lithification', that is, the positioning

The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of international commercial arbitration and its development as a legal and cultural entity. The recent changes within the field of arbitration are intimately related to the intensification of global exchanges and the growth of “world society”. It follows that any sociological study of arbitration must be conducted in light of the on-going glo

The four surprisingly complex visual sensory organs of cubomedusae, the rhopalia, contain each six eyes of four morphologically different types, two of which are camera-type eyes. This means that the evolutionary basal nervous system of cubomedusae must process the visual signals received from a total of 24 rhopalial eyes. Since the neuronal organization of the rhopalia is obscure, the role of the

Investigating the vadose zone, the physics behind the temporal and spatial instabilities of flow (in unsaturated media) is still of question. Although chaotic approaches have been widely employed for identifying different surface hydrology processes, such as rainfall, runoff, lake volume, etc., they were not applied for subsurface systems as much. On this ground, the present study attempts to inve

Introduction: Born globals are increasingly prevalent and very successful in doing business globally, which is quite remarkable when keeping in mind they operate with limited human and financial resources and international business experience. They have to utilise capabilities in a unique way in order to internationalise rapidly and successfully. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to gain insig

My PhD dissertation investigates relationships between contemporary art and spatial practices It emphasising the creation of platforms for public participation as interventions into urban regeneration processes. The project has two essential objectives: a. To identify the potential within contemporary art for a critical analysis of an urban de velopment process from the location, in dialogue with

AI-teknik används mer och mer i dagens samhälle och i och med det uppstår en del juridiska frågetecken. Ett av dessa frågetecken är vilken medverkan AI kan ha i avtalsprocessen. Syftet med denna uppsats är att besvara frågan om dagens tolkningsmetoder kan appliceras på avtal skrivna med hjälp av AI. Eftersom det finns väldigt många sorters avtal har arbetet avgränsats till hur en svensk domstoToday, AI technology is used more and more, and alongside that, some legal questions arise. One of these questions concerns what role AI can have in the contract process. The purpose of this essay is to answer the question of whether today’s interpretation methods can be applied to contracts written with the help of AI. Since there are numerous varieties of contracts, this essay has been delimited

Due to technological advances and innovations, the phenomenon of media multitasking and multiscreening, i.e. simultaneous or sequential use of multiple screens, has emerged and become a global trend affecting the consumer behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how different media and devices impact the Consumer Information Processing Model as the current research within t

This Master Thesis was performed for Sandvik SRP in collaboration with the Institution for Industrial Production Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Tool wear is one of the main cost drivers in the mining industry. By being able to characterize what kind of rock involved, you can choose a more beneficial tool material to minimize the wear and thereby reduce the maintenance costs. The purpos

In this thesis, I investigate the experience of physical pain. Through an analysis and assessment of the data in the form of qualitative interviews collected for this thesis, the aim has been to show that meaning-making is fundamental to our experience of (physical) pain. At its core, this thesis contends that physical pain can not be reduced to physiological stimuli and that an investigation must

People’s eating habits and how we use the kitchen today has changed extensively over the last few decades. New ways of living and cooking generates a need of rethinking the kitchen and the appliances to better fit the demands and desires of modern living. This concept helps the user include the dishes as an easier part of cooking, and an encouragement to rediscover the health and pleasure of provi

This thesis project was performed in collaboration with Scania CV AB’s cab factory in Oskarshamn, Sweden, and the objective was to accomplish a product development process regarding a new assembly skid from an ergonomic perspective. A great number of aspects had to be noticed and evaluated, both regarding the process the skid is aiming to support and the product it concerns. The focus was the func

Uppsatsen behandlar den rättsliga hanteringen av personlig och sexuell integritet i dagens samhälle. Den utreder även det särskilt skyddsvärda i den sexuella integriteten. Uppsatsen grundar sig i en teori om att sexualbrott är starkt förknippade med kön, makt och sexualitet där offret oftast är en kvinna och gärningsmannen en man. Därför anlägger uppsatsen ett feministiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen This essay focuses on personal and sexual integrity and how they, as two protective interests, are dealt with in the legislation process and in criminal law in general in today’s society. It especially focuses on the specific characteristics of sexual integrity and sexual crimes. The essay is based on a theory that sexual crimes are strongly connected to gender, power and sexuality where the victi

This paper reports the results of a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study that tested predictions on changes in visual word perception. The neural correlates of visual word perception were examined twice over the course of three months. During this interval a group of interpreter students engaged in intense language learning, while a control group completed regular university-level cl
