Bullberget är beläget i västra Dalarna i Lima socken. Huvudbergarten utgörs av Öjediabas, som här är genomslagen av en horisontell diabasgång tillhörande samma generation som den i Dalarna rikligt förekommande Åsbydiabasen. Denna diabasgång uppvisar en steglös övergång från en Si02-halt på 54% till 73%. Även bergartens makroskopiska utseende förändras helt utan synliga kontakter. Bergarterna har tThe Bullberget hill is situated in the Lima parish of the Dalarna province in western Sweden. The major rock forming the hill is Öje basalt. This is cut by a dolerite sill belonging to the same generation as the Åsby dolerite, which is common in the province. The sill displays a continuos transition from a SiO2-content of 54% to 73%. No lithological boundaries have been found between the various r

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I det svenska urberget finns stora mängder av granit och andra magmatiska bergarter. Dessa magmatiska bergarter förekommer i både deformerade och odeformerade varianter. Majoriteten av de magmatiska bergarterna anses ha bildats genom att en oceanplatta har glidit ned under en kontinentplatta med hjälp av spridningsprocesser vid oceanryggarna. Oceanplattan smälte

This master’s thesis is about the intermediation of identity at six of the largest museums of cultural history in the Öresund Region. The aim is to examine which the main discourses are at the museums and how they effect the intermediation of identity. By an examination of how identity is mediated at the museums of cultural history in the Öresund Region, the aim is also to create new knowledge abo

På dagens avloppsreningsverk används i stor grad bakterier för att bli av med kväve i avloppsvattnet och på så sätt minska risken för övergödning och algblomning i våra sjöar, vattendrag och havsområden. Den biologiska reningsmetod som är vanligast idag leder dock till att en stor del av näringsämnet kväve går förlorat upp i luften i form av kvävgas tillsammans med en viss del lustgas. Lustgas är The importance of recycling nutrients becomes more important as the finite resources starts running out, and recycling of urine nutrients is an important factor in developing a sustainable society that takes advantage of nutrients already existing in the system. Urine only represents one percent of the domestic wastewater volumetric flow, but contains 80 % of the nitrogen, 50 % of the phosphorus a

This thesis addresses different aspects of the legal perspective on the patentability, valuation, and scope of biotech patents in the European Union and the United States when mergers & acquisitions transactions are in question. To facilitate mergers & acquisition of a biotechnology company a specific regulatory environment must be established, particularly what effects the most such trans

This thesis examines the Multifunctional Land Redistribution Fund, launched in March 2020 by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food, and the outcomes this policy may propel. The Fund takes aim at multiple issues of sustainability related to land use: biodiversity loss, groundwater contamination, nutrient leaching, and rural development. The Fund is to serve as a pilot project for large-scale

The progression of fire safety research has contributed to improving the guiding principles of standardised building design. Research making use of pure materials, once common in homes and workplaces, are less relevant as such materials are no longer as prevalent. It is often newer, composite materials that are featured more prominently in building contents. The trend towards the evolution of commIt is widely accepted that by lowering the oxygen concentration below that of the typical ambient conditions (21% Oxygen) fuels are less likely to ignite and will burn slower. ORS (Oxygen Reduction Systems) make use of this to protect their contents. The oxygen concentration in these systems is done by introducing a flow rate containing a higher percentage of nitrogen into the protected area. The

When working in collaborative projects with team members with different expertises, often from different companies, communicative and collaborative challenges that obstructs decision-making can arise due to team members having different objectives. In order to avoid problems and conflicts, good documentation of decision related information is required. The project was performed at Yolean AB, a com

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett felaktigt protein som klumpar ihop sig i hjärnans blodkärl är orsaken till hjärnblödning och för tidig död hos unga islänningar. Sjukdomen är ärftlig och uppkommer på grund av en enda felaktig byggsten, orsakad av en mutation, i proteinet cystatin C. Det muterade proteinet bildar mikroskopiska proteinkedjor, fibriller, som klumpar ihop sig i bland annat hjärnans bloThe pathophysiological process in Alzheimer’s disease and other amyloid disorders usually involves the transformation of a soluble monomeric protein via potentially toxic oligomers into amyloid fibrils. The structure and properties of the intermediary oligomers have been difficult to study due to their instability and dynamic equilibrium with smaller and larger species. This has hampered the devel

Lipid bilayers are of interest in applications where a cell membrane mimicking environment is desired. The performance of the lipid bilayer is largely dependent on the physical and chemical properties of the component lipids. Lipid bilayers consisting of phytanoyl lipids have proven to be appropriate choices since they exhibit high mechanical and chemical stability. In addition, such bilayers have

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sverige har i olika sammanhang beskrivits som ett land som präglas av så kallade mångkulturella sociala relationer. I avhandlingen I historiekanons skugga: Historieämnet och identifikationsformering i 2000-talets mångkulturella samhälle analyseras implikationer av framväxten av det så kallade mångkulturella samhället på historieämnet. Avhandlingens övergripande syfte ärSweden has on various occasions been described as a multicultural society. So-called multicultural social change has resulted in numerous implications regarding attitudes in respect of history as a subject taught at upper secondary schools. The aim of this study is to problematise the relationship between students' (ethnic) identification and their view of history as a subject. The study focuses o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Våra kroppar är uppbyggda av celler. Dessa celler har olika funktioner beroende på var i kroppen de finns. Varje cell tar upp näring, omvandlar den till energi, och energin används för att cellen ska kunna fortleva och utöva specialiserade funktioner samt eventuellt reproducera sig. Kolhydrater är viktiga beståndsdelar i celler. De flesta av oss förknippar kolhydrater Proteoglycans (PGs) is a class of highly anionic macromolecules that consist of one or more linear polysaccharide chains (glycosaminoglycans, GAGs) covalently attached to a core protein. The biological functions of PGs are mainly due to the interactions of GAG chains with various protein ligands and regulatory factors, such as cytokines and growth factors. PGs and GAGs are critical for a diverse s

Among the formats introduced in Swedish radio in the 1930s, the theatre series about contemporary family life has turned out an exceptional survivor. The first family series, ”Ingenjör Björck med familj” (1936-1943), was followed by 22 related series during the rest of the 20th century, each cultivating its own intimate and ritual based bond with the listeners. The dissertation ”Höra hemma. Familj

The objectives of this dissertation are 1) to describe what child protection services actually do when assessing risk and deciding on interventions, and 2) to analyze this practice in the light of institutional expectations, organizational demands and professional technology. The field work was carried out in two Danish municipal social service agencies. Data consist of records on families subject

The aim of this essay was to examine how school principals view their own and school’s responsibility when a child is suffering and in what way the principals believe that school can promote a favorable development for a child who is suffering. By thematically open interviews of four school principals at various schools in a southern swedish municipality I examined their view on their own and scho

Problem: Today's changing environment gives rise to rapid sequence of events and rapid information dissemination. More attention is given to crisis and how organizations should manage them. Today there is much literature and many approaches to illustrate how an organization can optimize their crisis management, but yet crisis continues to generate problems for organizations. We believe that on

In our time it is widely argued that we are undergoing global transformations that influence the way we think about ourselves and how we interact and form ties with others. The intensified global integration of service sectors during the last five to ten years underscores such transformations. In recent research and among popular commentators the rise of transnational call-centers in India that pr

In the present work the task was to analyse and improve the Automatic Splicing Unit (ASU), which is manufactured for Tetra Pak by Sterners Verkstad. The work includes: • Calculation of the total cost and profitability in the present situation. • Proposal for reducing the manufacturing costs for the ASU. • Suggested improvement for making the assembling more cost efficient. • Proposal for how the p

Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvården genomgår kontinuerligt omorganiseringar och utsätts för ständiga ekonomiska besparingar. Samtidigt ställer sjukvårdens snabba utvecklingstakt krav på ett ledarskap som kan hantera den problematik som en komplex verksamhet innebär. Konsekvenserna av förändringsarbetet har blivit att avdelningar har slagits samman och cheftätheten har blivit glesare. De chefer som är Introduction: The health care system is undergoing continuous reorganizations and subjected to constant demands for financial savings. The rapid pace of development requires leadership that can deal with the issues that arise in this complex operation, however, the impact of these changes have resulted in consolidated departments and fewer staff. The managers who are left will be responsible for u

In order to explore verbal-nonverbal integration, we investigated the influence of cognitive and linguistic ability on gaze behavior during spoken language conversation between children with mild-to-moderate hearing impairment (HI) and normal-hearing (NH) peers. Ten HI-NH and 10 NH-NH dyads performed a referential communication task requiring description of faces. During task performance, eye move
