The use of (U-Th)/He thermochronometry in old slowly cooled terranes has long been debated. Hence, studies of natural setting are needed to verify the expected diffusivity behaviour of helium. Our results demonstrate that the (U-Th)/He method can be applicable to samples older than 200 Ma, and that available helium diffusion models can reproduce the results obtained from the age-vs.-depth trends.
How do donors reason and justify their choices when faced with dilemmas in a charitable context? In two studies, Swedish students were confronted with helping dilemmas based on the identifiable victim effect, the proportion dominance effect and the ingroup effect. Each dilemma consisted of two comparable charity projects and participants were asked to choose one project over the other. They were t
Mycket har skett i jordbruket det senaste århundradet. Vi har rört oss från ett småbondesamhälle till ett mekaniserat, industrialiserat och kapitaliserat jordbrukssamhälle med en global marknad. Denna intensifiering av jordbruket har lett till förlust och fragmentering av biotoper vilket givetvis har påverkat den biologiska mångfalden negativt. När arter minskar eller försvinner riskerar vi även a
Syftet med den här avhandlingen var att undersöka om användningen avpersonlighet i teamforskning kan göras på ett sådant sätt att individuella skillnader,som är det som typiskt studeras i personlighetsforskning, bibehålls. Två olika sättatt applicera personlighet i teamforskning, utan att ändra analysenheten frånindivider till team, föreslogs och demonstrerades med exempeldata.

The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh (the Accord) is generally seen as a positive development in ensuring that Bangladeshi garment industry workers have access to safe working conditions.

During the #metoo movement in the autumn of 2017, stories about sexual assault, including rape, garnered much attention worldwide. It might seem as if all of these stories came from nowhere. In fact, during the last decades several rape cases have been highlighted and debated in media all over the world. These discussions in the media and among the general public have led to scrutiny and a critica
The canon has been remolded under the influence of later developments in technology and media. Posthumanism and Communication and Performance Studies push forward the demythization – initiated by the Cultural Studies – of the aesthetic isolationism of the New Criticism. The new developments do not dispute the primacy of the aesthetic/truthful criteria used for informing the canon, but they disclos
Within cognitive science, narratives are regarded as crucial and fundamental cognitive instruments or tools. As Roger Schank suggests, the identity of (sub-)cultures is to a considerable extent based upon the sharing of narrative structures (Schank. 1995. Tell me a story: Narrative and intelligence. Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press.). According to Schank, culturally shared stories, as d

In Swedish, as in other North Germanic languages, compounds are very common and a majority of the novel words in Swedish are compounds. This thesis aims at a presentation of compounding in Swedish and the problems involved in describing compounding, but mainly at an empirically founded description of children's creation and use of novel compounds and developing comprehension of compounds, especial
Dödsstraffet är ett straff som har diskuterats i hundratals år. Jag är själv fascinerad av de argument som har använts, och fortfarande används, för och emot bibehållandet av strafftypen. Genom att studera förarbeten och doktrin har jag försökt utreda hur och varför Sverige avskaffade dödsstraffet. Jag har också jämfört den svenska processen med den som pågick vid ungefär samma tid i Danmark. BådaThe death penalty has been debated for hundreds of years. I am personally fascinated by the arguments used for keeping and removing the penalty from the legislation. I have by studying the legislative history and doctrine tried to research how and why Sweden abolished the death penalty. I also compared the results with the same process in Denmark. Both countries chose to abolish the death penalty
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om domstolarna tolkar lagen i enlighet med det intention som lagstiftaren haft vid dess skapande. Jag har valt att behandla ändringen av våldtäktsparagrafens begrepp ”hjälplöst tillstånd” till ”särskilt utsatt situation”.

The paper focus on legislative development
Ingen rättsordning tillskriver alla sorters löften bindande verkan. Det här arbetet syftar till att kritiskt granska och jämföra hur man har valt att avgränsa bindande löften från oförbindande löften i svensk respektive amerikansk avtalsrätt. Ett anbud är enligt svensk rätt en bindande viljeförklaring. Utgångspunkten är att en viljeförklaring är bindande om avsändaren hade för avsikt att juridiskNo legal system enforces all sorts of promises. The objective of his essay is to analyse and compare the general basis for enforcing promises in Swedish and American contract law. In Swedish contract law, an offer is a manifestation of intent to be legally bound by the offer. However, contract law is concerned only with what intent was objectively manifested, which may not necessarily correspond w

PEJL PÅ RASTANDE FLYTTFÅGLAR Varje vår och höst passeras Falsterbo av miljontals flyttfåglar. Många mellanlandar här för att fylla på sina bränsledepåer och vila upp sig inför nästa etapp på resan. Frågor som är intressanta inom flyttfågelforskningen är bland annat hur länge fåglarna rastar och om längden på vistelsen är kopplad till art, ålder, kön, fettreserver eller flyttningsstrategi (i det hABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine autumnal stopover strategies of migratory passerines, with the main focus on stopover duration, departure time and departure direction in relation to biometrics (age, sex and fat reserves), different migratory strategies (long, short-to-medium and partial migration) and weather conditions. During the autumn migration season of 2010, in conjunction wi
