The sociology of urban space is a field lacking in research and debate. Acknowledging that this is a matter with which all individuals interact, it is therefore curious as to why. This thesis argues that urban space in Malmö is not being utilised to its fullest potential and through simple attention to the social reality of humans, this could be achieved. In a thorough study of eight different soc

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Conodonter är stratigrafiskt användbara, fosfatiska mikrofossil, som påträffas i marina sediment mellan senkambrium till slutet av trias (520-210 Ma). Olika formtyper av conodonter, eller conodontelement, byggde tillsammans upp käkapparaten hos det lilla ål-liknande conodontdjuret, som numera räknas till chordaterna. Jag har undersökt förekomsten av conodontsläkSeven taxa of the conodont genus Ctenognathodus (Fay, 1959) sensu Viira, 1982b in the Silurian of Gotland have been described and their occurrence mapped geographically, stratigraphically and related to facies. In addition to C. murchisoni (Pander, 1856) three new species were found; C. n. sp. D, C n. sp. E and C n. sp. I with two subspecies, I and G. Two taxa formerly known as subspecies of Ligon

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: År 1949 upptogs en borrkärna vid Almbackens gård (Södra Sandby) öster om Lund. Kärnan visar ett tvärsnitt genom de sedimentära bergarter, som härrör från den tidiga och mellersta delen av den kambriska perioden. Den totala längden på kärnan är ca 31 m och är i mycket gott skick. Den nedersta delen, översta delen av underkambrium, utgörs av sand- och kalkstenar vThe uppermost Lower Cambrian and Middle Cambrian of the Almbacken drill-core, drilled 1949 in Södra Sandby, are described and correlated with other sections in Scania (the Gislövshammar-2 core and the Forsemölla, Gislövshammar and Brantevik sections). The core consists of Middle Cambrian bituminous alum shales with stinkstone lenses and three beds of fossiliferous limestone, the Andrarum, Exsulans

Samples from the Danian were prepared for study of coccoliths, on one hand with Light Microscopy, on the other hand with Scanning Electron Microscopy to test the different advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Light Microscopy studies can be used for quantitative investigations and Scanning Electron Microscopy studies for quantitative and qualitative investigations of coccoliths. Scanning

A previously unknown fauna of hybodont sharks has been revealed from the Vitabäck Clays at the boundary between the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The material consists of oral teeth, cephalic spines and placoid scales from the five genera Egertonodus, Hybodus, Lissodus, Polyacrodus and Hylaeobatis. The palaeogeographical area and stratigraphical range of the six species found are extended: E. basanus (

Occurrences of high alumina rocks constituted by quartz, kyanite, rutile and Al-phosphates are spatially related with the Protogine Zone, a system of ductile and brittle deformation zones within the Proterozoic crust of southern Scandinavia. A hydrothermal origin has been proposed for high alumina rocks at Västanå, based on the chemistry of these rocks, while gradual transitions between magmatic r

Within an extensive research project known as the EuroVaQ project, data on European individuals’ WTP for health was collected through survey methods. This thesis uses data from the EuroVaQ project in order to estimate the WTP per QALY Sweden. The major finding of the study is that the mean value is estimated to SEK 485 685. Furthermore, WTP is positively associated with age and income of the respo

Naturliga metanutsläpp sker från våra våtmarker världen över. Metan produceras naturligt genom nedbrytning i de syrefria förhållanden som en våtmark erbjuder. För att bättre kunna modellera och skala upp hur mycker metan som faktiskt släpps ut från dessa våtmarker måste ytterligare förståelse skapas över varför metanutsläppen varierar så kraftigt både i tid och rum. Denna studie försöker öka förstMethane emissions from natural wetlands are an important contributor to methane levels in the atmosphere. These emissions are highly variable in time and space, even within sites. Further understanding of this variation is vital to successfully model the overall methane emissions from wetlands. This study investigates spatial variation through measurements of 22 plots across Fäjemyr bog. Manual me

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om utdelningars utbetalningsgrad, vinstvolatilitet, storlek och hävstång har någon inverkan på aktiebolagets volatilitet. Vidare syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka huruvida dessa samband är tillämpliga på både Large Cap-företag och företag som listas på Mid och Small Cap. Teorierna bygger på rådande teorier i området, bland annat Bird in the hand hypThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether Payout ratio, Earnings volatility, Size, and Leverage have any effect on the volatility of the stock. Furthermore, this thesis seeks to investigate whether these relationships apply to both Large Cap firms and firms listed on Mid and Small Cap. The theories are based upon prevailing theories in the area, among them Bird in the hand hypothesis,

Departing from the question of how linguistic representations of sexual crime are connected to social practices around sexuality, this discourse analysis looks into 30 news articles on sexual crime to identify discourses around male and female sexuality. As most sexual crimes are committed by men and against women, the analysis focuses on connecting discursive descriptions of men and women in rela

Migrants do not only affect the societies in which they arrive. When people leave in large numbers, their absence will also have indirect consequences for the societies from which they left. Between 1860 and 1930, 1.4 million Swedes emigrated abroad, most of them settling in the United States. In this essay I look at how this historic migration episode, in which a quarter of the population left th

The serial Color Word Test, which is a semi-experimental way to differentiate adaptive behavior in stressful situations, was administered at baseline to men participating in the prospective cohort study "Men born in 1914". During follow-up, from 1982-1983 until December 31, 1996, 133 men experienced a myocardial infarction. Four patterns of adaptive behavior in 2 separate dimensions, the Variabili

Objective: To delineate the health profile in middle-aged women with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: The Women's Health in the Lund Area (WHILA) project covered all women born 1935 - 1945 ( n = 10,766) living in the Lund area; 6917 (64.2%) women completed a generic questionnaire and underwent physical and laboratory assessments. Of the 6917 women, 6416 were postmenopausal women, of whom 104
