It is hypothesized that an overall growth mindset leads to adaptive (healthy) coping mechanisms, whereas an overall fixed mindset fosters maladaptive (unhealthy) coping strategies.

Mot ett säkrare slutförvar för framtida generationer En förutsättning för att det kommande slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle ska fylla sin uppgift är att alla barriärer som ska förhindra att radioaktivitet läcker ut till omgivningen fungerar under mycket lång tid. En av de viktigaste barriärerna är bentonitleran som ska omge det inkapslade bränslet. Den viktigaste egenskapen hos leran är att denThis report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on
Det senaste decenniet tenderar antalet barn som har en oroande skolfrånvaro öka enligt flera Svenska organisationer och myndigheter och bland dessa barn finns en stor andel med NPF-problematik.

Uppsatsens syfte var att utreda huruvida kriminalisering av narkotikabruk var att betrakta som godtagbart ur ett strikt rättsteoretiskt perspektiv. Den svenska narkotikastraffrätten har vuxit fram över lång tid, men har under det senaste halvseklet kommit att innehålla strängare straff och vidgat omfång. Länge ansågs kriminalisering av bruk inte vara önskvärt, något som dock skedde i slutet av 19
Ett grustag vid Fiskarheden, som ligger i nordvästra Dalarna, uppvisar tjocka avlagringar av grovkorniga sediment; en sanduravlagring av så kallad Scott-typ som deponerats i en is-proximal proglacial miljö. Preliminära OSL-dateringar av sandursedimenten tyder på att de är av en pre-Saalian ålder (>200 000 år). Av särskilt intresse här är, förutom dess höga ålder pre-daterande det senaste istidsmax
