Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Marsh King's Daughter" (1858) is analysed in relation to Birgitta Trotzig's prose tale of the same title, Dykungens dotter (1985), with the emphasis on Andersen's tale which would seem to be a pious Christian morality in which evil is destroyed and the powers of light conquer darkness. At the same time, Andersen's symbols make clear that darkness is a necessary
As an ambition to stress the construction of an external and an internal dimension within law I have chosen to study the non-pecuniary damages to victims of crime. The foundation for these damages came from the deep structure of law about the idea that the right to integrity of the human body and soul are one of the corner- stones in the state governed by law. But when it comes to estimating the a

Rapporten beskriver prototyper av kontinuerliga tvåfraktionsinsamlare för övervakning av partikulära luftföroreningar i arbetsmiljö som har konstruerats. En prototyp är personburen och ger möjligheter till insamling av två partikelstorleksfraktioner i 18 diskreta intervall. PIXE-metoden (analys med partikelinducerad röntgenstrålning) används för multielementanalys av de erhållna proven. Även med m

The semi-arid Sahel zone of Africa has suffered several periods of severe drought since about 1950. We have analyzed AVHRR Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) over the Sahel for the period 1982-2002, and found extensive areas of increasing NDVI. To verify these changes we have analyzed Landsat TM and ETM+ scenes from 1984-1986 and 1999-2001 for areas in the Sudan, Central African Republi
Writing is a central activity at university. Writing in English at University: A Guide for Second Language Writers is a textbook designed to accompany the MOOC Writing in English at University. It can also be used as a stand-alone handbook, with links to online resources, such as instructional videos on key aspects of academic writing provided throughout.Just like the MOOC, this textbook targets u
After a long career in studying agricultural and rural development, in the following paper I take the opportunity to reflect on these issues in the rear view mirror. The advantage of this is of course that my biographical time span now covers a considerable historical one, starting with the apocalyptic alarms over the population bomb at the end of the 60s, especially in Asia, and the widespread fe
It is well known that the xylem of gymnosperm trees consists mainly of tracheids and that the dimensions of these cells change over the growth season in temperate regions. When looking at a micrograph of a cross section of a growth ring, it can be seen that early in the season tracheids have larger radial diameters and thin walls, while tracheids formed later in the growth season have smaller radi
It is a trivial fact that water is needed for decay of wood by brown rot fungi, but when this is looked at in more detail, there are several fundamental questions concerning water and decay that are not solved. The purpose of this study is to study how the wood-water interaction is changed during degradation of brown-rot fungi of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L) Karst.) grown at two different parts
Den 13 november 1872 inträffade en extrem översvämning i kustområdena kring Södra Östersjön. Högt vattenstånd i kombination med höga vågor ledde till att cirka 300 personer omkom och fler än 15 000 blev hemlösa. Utmed Skånes kust omkom minst 23 personer, över 100 bostadshus förstördes och hundratals kustfiskare förlorade sin inkomstkälla då båtar och fiskeredskap slogs sönder och drogs ut i havet.On November 13, 1872 an extreme flood occurred in the coastal areas surrounding the South Baltic Sea. An extreme storm surge in combination with high waves caused the death of about 300 people and more than 15,000 people lost their homes. Along the coast of Scania, southern Sweden, at least 23 people were killed and more than 100 houses were destroyed. Hundreds of fishermen lost their source of in
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to augment heat transfer rates of traditional rib-elements with minimal pressure drop penalties. Design/methodology/approach - The novel geometries in the present research are conventional cylindrical ribs with rounded transitions to the adjacent flat surfaces and with modifications at their bases. All turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer results are presen
This paper presents a study exploring the capabilities of a new method, described by Åkesson and Alic [1], which extends the capabilities of the algebraic graphic statics method, by Van Mele and Block [11]. The new method extends the algebraic graphic statics method by making it bi-directional i.e. allowing for determination of an updated form diagram by making direct interactive manipulations of
Mito-nuclear insertions, or NUMTs, relate to genetic material of mitochondrial origin that have been transferred to the nuclear DNA molecule. The increasing amounts of genomic data currently being produced presents an opportunity to investigate this type of patterns in genome evolution of non-model organisms. Identifying NUMTs across a range of closely related taxa allows one to generalize pattern
Background: Adverse perinatal exposures have been associated with psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviours later in life. However, the independent associations of gestational age at birth or fetal growth with suicide death, potential sex-specific differences, and causality of these associations are unclear. Methods: A national cohort study was conducted of all 2 440 518 singletons born in Swe
Kursbok om Alternativ och Kompletterande Kommunikation (AKK), med fokus på kommunikationshjälpmedel, praktiska metoder och förhållningssätt. Boken ingår i ett kursmaterial i tre delar, för utbildning av personliga assistenter och andra som arbetar och lever nära ungdomar och vuxna med omfattande kommunikationssvårigheter på grund av funktionsnedsättning.
This paper discusses a Python interface for the recently published Dune-Fem-DG module which provides highly efficient implementations of the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving a wide range of non linear partial differential equations (PDE). Although the C++ interfaces of Dune-Fem-DG are highly flexible and customizable, a solid knowledge of C++ is necessary to make use of this powerful
