The focus in this paper is on how students experience their transition from their education to being employed as engineers in relation to the concept of employability. Four cohorts of students in a master’s programme in engineering were monitored annually with a ‘follow-up’ one year after graduation. Results show that there were differences in the way students talked about their curricular design,
In recent years, the discourse of ‘relevance’ has risen to prominence in the university-based business school. At the heart of this discourse is the suggestion that management researchers should align their research practices more closely with the needs of practitioners in external organizations. One important but under-researched strand of this debate focuses on the way in which ‘relevance’ is pu
Given the fact that experimental studies have found an influence on legal decision making by the court’s impression of the defendant, while at the same time the defendant has been foreseen in research on courtroom interaction and emotion, it is highly significant to study the way the defendant interact during criminal trials. This thesis is based on an ethnographic-inspired study conducted in Swed
Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogen inhabiting the human stomach. H. pylori binds plasminogen, a 90 kDa glycoprotein secreted by liver cells, and utilizes it for enhancing virulence. Surface receptors on the bacteria recognize plasminogen that is then activated into plasmin by host factors. The active plasmin can degrade a range of host proteins including proteins of the extracellular mat
Research on financial crises is important and especially relevant nowadays when the economy is slowing down globally. The crisis 2007-8 and the Great Depression of the 20th century are the longest and most severe financial calamities ever experienced and they share some eerie similarities with the Panic of 1857 – they all originate in the US but have international implications because they take pl
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vulkanism associeras av de flesta med magmatisk aktivitet och väldiga lavaflöden. Trots detta finns det över hela världen tusentals exempel på ”vulkaner” som oftast inte alls har med magmatism att göra – slamvulkaner. Slamvulkaner drivs genom helt andra och mycket ytligare processer. Slamvulkaner kan bildas i olika miljöer på en rad olika sätt vilket medför attMud volcanoes are pathways through and within which buried argillaceous loose sediments and lithified rocks are altered and transported back to the Earth’s surface. The types of mechanisms of formation, maintenance and triggering of this natural, sedimentary recycling-process vary largely whereby external as well as internal properties of mud volcanoes differ greatly. Sizes range from millimetres
Under den tidigare delen av mesozoikum inträffade två massutdöende som i stor utsträckning kom att påverka jordens ekosystem. Det första inträffade i slutet av trias och påverkade både marina organismer och terrestrisk biota. Det andra mesozoiska utdöendet skedde under tidig toarcian i samband med ett anoxiskt event. Trots att den Australienska sen triassiska floran behandlats i ett flertal studieDuring the early Mesozoic two mass-extinction events profoundly reshaped the world’s biota. The first of these took place at the end of the Triassic and affected both marine organisms and terrestrial floras. The second occurred as an oceanic anoxic event during the early Toarcian. Although the Late Triassic floral assemblages of Australia have been the focus of many studies, there have been few in
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Skåne är till stor del täckt av sedimentära, avlagrade bergarter t.ex. sandsten och kalksten, samt mycket yngre istidsavlagringar. Den kristallina berggrunden i Skåne utgör grunden för sedimenten och bildades huvudsakligen för mer än 1200 miljoner år sedan. Denna berggrund är bara synlig i de stora nordvästriktade horstar (åsar), som utgör ett markant drag i SkåThe Precambrian crystalline basement in Skåne only outcrops in the large NW striking Horsts that are roughly parallel to the Tornquist Zone. In the south-easternmost part of the Linderödsåsen Horst in SE Skåne, the Stenshuvud porphyritic granitoids previously considered to be Palaeoproterozoic volcanic rocks, have been recently dated to 1458 Ma. This indicates that these rocks are coeval with the
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Undersökningen baseras på prover ifrån borrkärnor som tagits från sandstenar vilka avsattes för ca 200 miljoner år sedan. Vid denna tid var hela nordvästra delen av Skåne täckt av ett stort delta med en avsättningsmiljö som gav sandstenar med ett stort innehåll av ler. Ler deponerades då det rådde lugna vattenmiljöförhållanden, såsom vid olika årstidsvariationerAn examination of permeability differences was made on plugs obtained from six drill cores in both horizontal and vertical directions, representing different facies of the Hettangian strata from the Höganäs Formation. The permeability analyses distinguish permeability differences from anisotropy and an index was created to evaluate the anisotropy. The cause of the measured anisotropy in this study
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det Böhmiska Massivet, sydväst om Prag, är rikt på välbevarade och ostörda fossil. Detta område tillhörde superkontinenten Gondwanas norra kontinentalkant för 500- 395 miljoner år sedan under tidsperioderna Ordovicium och Silur. En del av det nuvarande Böhmiska Massivet utgjordes av en sänka där rikligt med sediment och döda organismer deponerades. En stor del aThe only relatively undisturbed Ordovician to Middle Devonian sequence in the Bohemian Massif is preserved in the central parts of the Prague Basin. This part stretches c. 35 km from Prague in the north towards Zelkovice in the southwest. During Ordovician and Silurian times this area is thought to have been a part of the northern Gondwana margin. The lower Silurian shales were deposited in a tect
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Mosasaurier var en grupp stora, marina ödlor som under ett geologiskt sett kort tidsavsnitt i kritaperioden, om ca 25 miljoner år, snabbt tog över positionen som toppredatorer i haven. De tidigaste fossilen från gruppen har återfunnits i sediment av turonsk ålder och i likhet med flera andra djurgrupper försvinner mosasaurier under sen maastricht. Några arter nåMarine strata of latest early Campanian age from the Kristianstad Basin in Skåne, southern Sweden, have yielded a diverse mosasaur fauna comprising four taxa: Clidastes? sp., Platecarpus cf. somenensis, Hainosaurus? ivoensis and Mosasauridae sp. The material consists primarily of isolated tooth-crowns, although a number of incomplete vertebrae and cranial elements have been recorded as well. Base
A review of adaptations in fossil and extant mammalian carnivores has been made. Adaptations to different locomotor behaviours can be seen in the postcranial skeleton. Typically cursorial adaptations are long distal limb segments and restrictions in the mobility of the limbs to move in other directions than forward and backward. Diggers have fore limbs constructed for large out-forces. Climbers ha
In samples consisting mainly of Campanian biocalcarenite from Maltesholm and Ullstorp 23 foraminifera species were identified. The number of species lies within the range for a normal marine environment according to Fisher α-diagrams and triangular diagrams. It is concluded that Maltesholm represents a more shallow marine environment than Ullstorp. A systematic description is included for the aggl
Under de senaste 15 åren har användningen av frekvenselektromagnetiska sonderingsinstrument inom geofysiska undersökningar drivit forskningen framåt för att förbättra den använda metoden. En av dessa tekniker är inversion vilket är den process som omvandlar elektromagnetiska data till djupvärden för geologiska lager. Inversion av frekvenselektromagnetiska data har länge varit förknippat med svårigThe adoption of frequency electromagnetic (EM) sounding devices in the past 15 years for geophysical exploration has fueled research into techniques associated with the method. One of these techniques is inversion which is the process of turning the EM data into measurements of depth for different geological layers. Inversion of frequency EM data has classically been difficult and unreliable. With
Begreppet barnets bästa är en av de fyra grundläggande principerna i Förenta Nationernas konvention den 20 november 1989 om barnets rättigheter, Barnkonventionen. Principen om barnets bästa återspeglas även inom utlänningsrätten och enligt 1 kap. 10 § utlänningslagen (2005:716) skall i fall som rör ett barn särskilt beaktas vad hänsynen till barnets hälsa och utveckling samt barnets bästa i övrigt
Background: A warmer climate has consequences for the timing of phenological events, as temperature is a key factor controlling plant development and flowering. In this study, we analyse the effects of the long-term climate change and an extreme weather event on the first flowering day (FFD) of five spring-flowering wild plant species in the United Kingdom. Citizen science data from the UK Woodlan
Agriculture is widely recognized as critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but researchers, policymakers, and practitioners have multiple, often conflicting yet poorly documented priorities on how agriculture could or should support achieving the SDGs. Here, we assess consensus and divergence in priorities for agricultural systems among research, policy, and practice persp
Protein-coding genetic variants that strongly affect disease risk can yield relevant clues to disease pathogenesis. Here we report exome-sequencing analyses of 20,791 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 24,440 non-diabetic control participants from 5 ancestries. We identify gene-level associations of rare variants (with minor allele frequencies of less than 0.5%) in 4 genes at exome-wide si
