This thesis aims to examine gender norms in parental leave praxes and attitudes towards earmarked paternity leave. The starting point is a forthcoming EU directive on work-life balance for parents and carers that will implement earmarked paternity leave in Denmark by 2022. The empirical data consists of nine semi-structured interviews with six new, first-time parents (three couples). The study set
The main objective of this paper is to calculate the distribution of the tax burden across income levels in Spain between 1960 and 1990. The chosen period covers the final years of Franco’s dictatorship and the first ones of the present parliamentary regime, and is thus meant to explore how political change was reflected on taxation. Does transition entail a fiscal revolution? Here is one case stu
A defect in proprioception has been found in selected patient groups that have an anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee at different times after the original injury. The time of development and the extent of such defects were studied longitudinally on 16 consecutive patients. During the first year after a primary knee injury, which included a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament,
In an influential paper Pesaran (A Simple Panel Unit Root Test in Presence of Cross-Section Dependence, Journal of Applied Econometrics 22, 265–312, 2007) proposes two unit root tests for panels with a common factor structure. These are the CADF and CIPS test statistics, which are amongst the most popular test statistics in the literature. One feature of these statistics is that their limiting dis
Start with a graph with a subset of vertices called {\it the border}. A particle released from the origin performs a random walk on the graph until it comes to the immediate neighbourhood of the border, at which point it joins this subset thus increasing the border by one point. Then a new particle is released from the origin and the process repeats until the origin becomes a part of the border it
TV-on-Demand services have become one of the most popular Internet applications that continuously attracts high user interest. With rapidly increasing user demands, the existing network conditions may not be able to ensure a low start-up delay of video playback. Prefetching has been broadly investigated to cope with the start-up latency problem, which is also known as user perceived latency. In th
Computer simulation and modelling was used to simulate a real time environment in preparative chromatography to evaluate the performance of three different strategies for pooling control for different levels of robustness. The pooling problem was based around a separation case where three different insulin species were to be separated while disturbances to the modulators potassium chloride, ethano
En av behandlingsmetoderna mot tumörer i levern på Lunds Universitetssjukhus är SIRT som står för ”Selective Internal RadioTherapy” det vill säga en intern radioterapeutisk behandling, i detta fall specifikt för levern. Behandlingen är cirka tio år gammal och i Lund har den utförts sedan december 2010. Under våren 2012 behandlades tre patienter med SIRT då de inte kan få sina cancertumörer i leverIntroduction: Cancer treatment is a process with continuous development. The most common treatment, within the field of radiation physics, is external radiation therapy, whereas one of the least common methods is Selective Internal RadioTherapy (SIRT). SIRT is a rather novel method for treating liver carcinoma. Microspheres containing 90Y are infused directly into the liver, via the hepatic artery
Soil erosion vulnerability and extreme rainfall characteristics over the Mediterranean semi-arid region of Tunisia are crucial input for estimation of siltation rate in artificial reservoirs. A comprehensive high-resolution database on erosive rainfall, together with siltation records for 28 small reservoirs, were analysed for this region, the Tunisian Dorsal (the easternmost part of the Atlas Mou
The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is probed from statistical parameters, determined in an excitation function experiment on p + Xe-nat reactions at 200-1400 MeV. Total charge (Z) distributions follow a cascade-[multi]fragmentation-evaporation (CFEM) model well. The caloric curve in regions supposedly dominated by fast processes is compatible with a pure statistical multifragmentation (SMM) proce
This thesis was initiated with Toyota Material Handling Europe. The aim of the project was to find a business area in the world of material handling, and develop a conceptual design fulfilling the material handling need. Stepping outside of what is considered conventional material handling, I looked for a new context within consumer trends and future predictions. I found a correlation between th
Xenium enables high resolution through in situ sequencing with a predefined gene panel, offering cell segmentation. This cutting-edge approach allows for subcellular resolution, providing unparalleled insights into the spatial distribution of transcripts within specific cellular compartments. With Xenium, researchers can achieve precise cell segmentation and detailed analysis of gene expression pa

The terrestrial biota plays an important role in the regulation of atmospheric composition and climate. Surface albedo and energy partitioning are an established component of climate models. More recently, biogeochemical climate feedbacks through the terrestrial carbon cycle have become the focus of attention; a large proportion of the projected reduced global carbon sink at the end of the 21st ce

Popular Abstract in Swedish Undersökningarna som presenteras i avhandlingen behandlar mätning av produkter från och händelser i förbränningsprocessen genom att använda laserbaserade mätmetoder. Ett antal olika körfall, som HCCI och partially premixed combustion (PPC), har undersökts. I de första mätningarna som presenteras jämförs uppmätta flödesfält i cylindern med resultat från CFD och blåsriggThe work presented in this thesis deals with measuring in-cylinder combustion species and events using different laser-based diagnostic methods. A variety of engine operating modes, like HCCI and partially premixed diesel combustion, have been investigated. In the very first measurements, in-cylinder flow-fields were compared to CFD and steady-state blow rig results. After that, the ignition and
Popular Abstract in English Imagine you are sunbathing on a sandy beach, while reading the latest Dan Brown book. Once the book is finished, you look at the waves and notice that in one place, they decelerate and become large. Excited by your reading, you imagine that beneath those larger waves there is a ship containing a treasure in it (most likely sunk by the Illuminati during World War II). BuThis thesis describes how photoemission stimulated by an attosecond pulse train (APT) can be used to extract information on electron correlation in simple quantum systems such as atoms. The emission of the electron by an APT induces a reorganization of the electrons remaining in the ion core. This reorganization causes a change in the trajectory of the emitted electron. An infrared (IR) field is u
Background: Dosimetry in radionuclide therapy often requires the calculation of average absorbed doses within and between spatial regions, for example, for voxel-based dosimetry methods, for paired organs, or across multiple tumors. Formation of such averages can be made in different ways, starting from different definitions. Purpose: The aim of this study is to formally specify different averagin
