För nästan en miljard år sedan kolliderade den sydvästra delen av den skandinaviska kontinentalplattan (Baltica) med en annan kontinentalplatta. Detta skapade en gigantisk bergskedja liknande Himalaya. Med tiden eroderade Jordens naturliga processer ned vad som en gång var en hög bergskedja till dagens låglänta och småkulliga landskap . De unika bergartsassociationerna i sydvästra Sverige är de enEclogitized mafic bodies in the Ullared Deformation Zone (UDZ) of SW Sweden are evidence for high-pressure metamorphism and deformation related to continent collision during the Sceconorwegian orogeny. A petrographic study was performed on ten samples taken from a profile transecting the UDZ, with the aim of further characterizing the rocks within the eclogite bearing deformation zone. The UDZ is

When males and females have different fitness optima for the same trait but share loci, intralocus sexual conflict is likely to occur. Epigenetic mechanisms such as genomic imprinting (in which expression is altered according to parent-of-origin) and sex-specific maternal effects have been suggested as ways by which this conflict can be resolved. However these ideas have not yet been empirically t

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur de senaste årens effektivisering inom socialpolitiken förändrat socialtjänsten och dess arbete, med utgångspunkt i Försäkringskassans ändrade regler. Försäkringskassans nya regler som trädde i kraft i juli 2008, har inneburit att sjukpenningen är begränsad till ett år.

The stainless steel metal includes a large group of alloys and which one should choose for a process can be difficult to determine. Despite much research on corrosion, there is still disagreement on the impact of the corrosion resistance from passivation. This master thesis was assembled together with Tetra Pak to see the influence of passivation on stainless steels used in their processes. The g

Det komplexa regelverk som omgärdar fåmansföretagen har varit omdebatterat sedan dess införande på 1970-talet, och inte heller det kapitalandelskrav som infördes år 2014 har undgått kritik. Syftet med kapitalandelskravet är att endast de delägare som äger mer än fyra procent av kapitalet i ett fåmansföretag ska kunna utnyttja den förmånliga löneunderlagsregeln. Denna regel kan ge upphov till storaThe complex regulatory system for close companies has been debated since its introduction in the 1970s, and the capital share requirement introduced in 2014 did not escape criticism. The purpose of the capital share requirement is to limit the usage of the favourable, salary- based rule to those holding more than four percent of the company’s total capital. Using the salary-based rule can lead to

In recent years, many scholars have observed increasing polarization in the distribution of labor market risk, as well as social and employment rights. This phenomenon is often referred to as labor market dualization, a process deepening the divide between privileged insiders and less fortunate outsiders. Some authors have begun to search for a possible insider-outsider divide in policy preference

This paper is a cross-country study on how national culture affects institutional private equity and venture capital investments in Europe and is based on the previous works of Groh, Liechtenstein and Lieser (2010) and Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2011). We argue that national culture affects capital allocation and that this parameter is often missing in the contemporary discourse on the drivers

The purpose of this report is to implement and compare the two Basel III standard methods on how to calculate the capital requirement for finan- cial institutions, related to counterparty credit risk. The models being the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) and the Internal Model Method (IMM). The SA-CCR model is a simpler and more standardized model with prescribed methods

Inom EU:s konkurrensrätt kan man se utvecklingen av en mer begränsad domstolsprövning, samt ett mer ekonomiskt syn- och tillvägagångssätt. Vid studie av artikel 102 EUF-fördraget, är det vidare uppenbart att dominanta företag måste förlita sig på analys och bevis av ekonomisk art för att påvisa att missbruk av dominerande ställning inte är för handen. Något som emellertid rimmar dåligt med en situWithin the field of competition law one can outline two developments, namely that of a limited judicial review and secondly that of a ‘more economics-based’ approach. In studying Article 102 TFEU, it is evident that dominant companies must rely upon economic evidence and reasoning in order to show that an abuse of dominance has not taken place. This application of the article, however, works poorl

This essay aims to analyze Richard Swinburne's theistic description of God and investigate whether it is excluding from a feministic perspective. The foundation of this work is built upon the contemporary religio-philosophical debate that criticizes the philosophical work that has transpired since the enlightenment for its unilateral approach and it’s excluding nature. According to current phi

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine consumers’ perceived symbolic value of H&M’s designer collaborations and if they consider the concept as a democratization of fashion. These collaborations are a part of a bigger and more complex development of the fashion industry. Therefore, the analysis begins with a literature study which discusses the alleged democratization of fashion. Therea

Kombucha contains a plethora of compounds that contribute to its health benefits apart from its probiotic effects. This project was conducted to determine the total polyphenolic content (TPC) and total antioxidant content (TAC) of kombucha prepared with black tea, oolong tea, and green tea as a function of fermentation time (day 0 to day 18). Amongst all the kombucha samples, green tea kombucha on

In this master’s thesis, different options to update the variant rank model used at the University hospital in Lund are presented. The variant rank model filters genetic variants from whole genome sequencing. This is done to identify potential causative variants in patients. Since the knowledge concerning these variants and rare genetic diseases grows rapidly, the model which filters said variants

Liquefied Natural Gas is a clean and lower carbon alternative to diesel in the heavy road transport sector. It is established as a system in Netherlands and is in the preliminary phase in Belgium with three existing LNG filling stations. Belgium is one of the most heavily trafficked countries in Europe with poor air quality, making it an interesting market for establishing a LNG system. Truck manu
