Vertebratkoproliter från de yngre kretaceiska (Campan) sedimenten vid Åsen, en lokal belägen i den nordliga delen av Kristianstadbassängen, har här beskrivits och illustrerats med det huvudsakliga målet att bestämma deras värddjur. Deras fekala ursprung kunde bekräftas vid en kemisk analys, emedan de huvudsakligen visades bestå av kalciumfosfat, ett ämne intimt förknippat med koproliter. Fem exempVertebrate coprolites from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) of the Åsen locality, Kristianstad Basin, southern Sweden, are described and illustrated. Their fecal origin was supported through chemical analyses revealing a calcium phosphate composition. Five specimens were chosen for detailed description and analyses and these were sub-divided into three different groups of ichnotaxa. Because of the

I denna uppsats undersöks granitiskt material från trakten av Örnsköldsvik. Det rör sig om så kallade sensvekofenniska graniter i den Bottniska bassängen. Syftet är att se om det finns något samband mellan materialets beskaffenhet och hur djupt ned i jordskorpan det trängt in. Materialet har undersökts i optiskt mikroskop. Resultaten antyder att det kan finnas skillnader som svarar mot djupet men Here I present results from an investigation of granitic material from the area of Örnsköldsvik in east central Sweden, late Svecofennian granites in the Bothnian basin. The aim of the study was to see if there is any difference between the features of the material from different depths of intrusion. The results from light microscopy indicate that such might be the case, but the material is far to

Klimatförändringar har under de senaste decennierna blivit ett allt hetare forskningsämne och man har då även studerat hur klimatet förändrats genom årmiljonerna. Ett spännande kapitel i jordens historia är ordovicium som karaktäriserades som en växthusvärld med koldioxidhalter nära tjugo gånger dagens. Denna varma period avslutades med en global istid som resulterade i ett av de största massutdöeClimate change has become an increasingly important subject in geological research as past climates can teach us about the global climate systems. This thesis is a literature study on natural climate archives with examples from the Late Ordovician Boda Event. The Ordovician Period represented a greenhouse world with atmospheric CO2 levels almost twenty times higher then today. The climate became c

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Tiden mellan 33,9–5,3 miljoner år sedan är indelad i perioderna Oligocen och Miocen. Denna tid karaktäriseras av ett oscillerande klimat som var knutet till de primära så kallade Milankovitchcyklerna – excentricitet hos Jordens bana kring solen, jordaxelns lutning och dess precession – men magnituden hos oscillationerna var mycket varierande. Dinoflagellater äThe Oligocene and Miocene are characterized by a number of climate oscillations, following the primary Milankovitch cycles but varying in magnitude. Dinoflagellates are sensitive environmental indicators as well as biostratigraphic markers, but their use as the former has mainly been restricted to higher latitudes. This palynological study is made on samples belonging to the Oligocene-Miocene inte

Sydvästra Grönlands arkeiska berggrund (North Atlantic Craton, NAC) intruderades av ett stort antal mafiska intrusioner och diabasgångar under arkeikum och proterozoikum, vars åldrar är dåligt kända. Detta arbete omfattar dateringar av fem intrusioner med U-Pb metoden av mineralen zirkon och baddeleyit från tre olika generationer av mafiska bergarter. En mafisk-ultramafisk lagrad intrusion i FiskeThe Archaean bedrock of southern Greenland (the North Atlantic Craton) is host to a large number of mafic intrusions and dyke swarms. This study present a robust U-Pb zircon age of 2990.1 ± 13 Ma for a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion in the Fiskefjord region and four baddeleyite U-Pb ages of doleritic dykes that range between c. 2500 and c. 2050-2030 Ma. The dyke located SE of Ameralik Fjord is

Syftet med vår uppsats är att studera förekomsten och effekterna av fenomenet interlocking directorates (överlappande styrelseuppdrag) i en styrelse inom en kooperativ organisation. Uppsatsens syfte är även att med hjälp av det empiriska underlaget förbättra och anpassa en teoretisk referensram till en kooperativ organisation. I metodkapitlet diskuteras varför vi har valt en abduktiv och kvalitati

This paper investigates if the importance of sunk costs differs between markets with different exchange rate risk. First, it examines the importance of sunk costs on the export participation decision by estimating the effect the previous export status has on the current export decision. Second, it analyses the effects of product-market characteristics on the export participation decision. Third, i

In this thesis I have investigated pauses in writing in word-internal contexts and clause boundaries. I have been looking at the differences between 15-year-olds and adults with dyslexia and been focusing on how many pauses and how much pause time they have in these contexts. People with dyslexia have difficulties coding words, which mean that they are bad spellers and readers. Normally we automat

Studiens syfte var att undersöka varför patienter valt att ensidigt avsluta sitt deltagande i KBT i grupp, vilka förväntningar de avhoppade patienterna hade haft på behandlingen, hur de upplevde behandlingen och om dessa upplevelser var relaterade till avhoppet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med sju personer, vilka alla hade hoppat av från KBT-grupper innan behandlingen var slutförd. Reasons behind patients’ decisions to unilaterally terminate Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT), and whether the experience of the therapy was related to the termination of the treatment were examined. In addition to this, the patients’ expectations on the treatment prior to commencement and patients’ experiences of the treatment were examined. Semi-structured interviews were conducted

In this study the efficiency of the Nordic stock markets are tested. The evaluation period is 16 years, between 1995 and 2010. Monthly data on stock returns, D/Y, P/C, P/E, PTBV and EV/EBITDA are used to create six different single sorted portfolios. The portfolio evaluation periods and holding periods are set to six months. Our findings indicate that all of our single sorted portfolios could gene

This study aims to examine the media influence on the general public view of the imprisonment. It also aims to examine if there are any other variables that influence how the law is communicated to the society. This study is about how imprisonment is communicated by the media, but not all imprisonments and not all types of media - it addresses the newspapers report of imprisonment for the crime of

During 2007, a legal reform in Sweden took place, this change led to complications in interpreting the needs of individuals and the application of the laws by the governing social authorities. The aim of the thesis is to explore the underlying norms that influence social workers interpretation of young offenders needs, aged 15 to 17 years, and if the interpretations are consistent. The aim was ach

The Swedish Social Services Act states that certain authorities and their staff have a duty to immediately report to the Social Services if, in the course of their work, they have reason to suspect a child is in need of the protection of the Social Services. The purpose of this study was to examine some of the professional norms within the municipal school when it comes to the duty to report. The

The best interest of the child is not a defined term but a concept that allows for cultural, political and social interpretations. The Swedish government is obliged to protect every child's interests and take the judicial decision-making into account in all aspects of a child's situation. Subsequent to an event in early autumn, 2011, when two children in the care of the LVU, were deported

This study estimates the effects of legal and institutional barriers to foreign bank establishment in China. Provincial corruption data is compiled from official Chinese procuratorial work reports and analyzed together with economic indicators and measures of legislative liberalization in a multiple regression analysis. The analysis uses panel data for 18 Chinese cities in 11 provinces over 8 year

Sammandrag Den som översätter bör vara välinsatt i både utgångsspråket och målspråket, men översättaren bör också vara hemmastadd i den miljö där berättelsens handling äger rum. Om dessa villkor inte är uppfyllda finns en risk för översättningsfel. Som översättningsfel kan man då betrakta ord vars översättning baseras på en felaktig språkanalys och sådana fria översättningar som förvränger berätt

This paper examines the persuasive role of ethos and persona in trickster discourse by studying the pilot episode of the Australian TV-series "John Safran's Race Relations". Using methods of Role- and Fantasy-theme criticism I conclude that the artefact uses a strategy of authority by experience and identification to create a strong bond of sympathy for the main character, who le
