The element silicon is everywhere! In fact, silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. Silicon in rocks and minerals breaks down and is transported from rivers and streams into the world’s oceans. Many marine organisms need silicon as it is a crucial nutrient to build their skeletons. Silicon eventually reaches the seafloor, but its journey into the abyss is not straightforward
Vad är det som överlåts vid en transaktion avseende fast egendom? Ofta vållarden frågan inte några svårigheter att besvara och innebörden framgår vanligtvis tydligt av såväl köpeavtal som köpebrev. Men vad gäller i det fall parternainte tillräckligt tydligt har formulerat köpeobjektet i avtalet, om parterna inte äröverens om vad som ingår i överlåtelsen eller om formuleringarna ser olika ut iköpea
Ecogeographical rules, describing common trends in animal form across space and time, have provided key insights into the primary factors driving species diversity on our planet. Among the most well-known ecogeographical rules are Bergmann's rule and Allen's rule, with each correlating ambient temperature to the size and shape of endotherms within a species. In recent years, these two rules have a
University teachers funded to engage in educational development projects have been found to become increasingly engaged in the scholarship of teaching and learning. However, research also points to obstacles such as departmental culture, lack of support from management, and unhelpful administrative processes. In this study, I interview university teachers and their heads of departments in an educa
Dataflow is a Model of Computation (MoC) that describes applications as networks of actors. The CAL Actor Language (CAL) is one of the programming languages for describing such actors. A downside to CAL is that the actors and their networks are rigidly defined - it is not possible to have a parametric number of ports or actions in an actor. This makes it difficult to define flexible applications o
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the legal issues relating to cruise ship passenger contracts, their nature and salient features, parties to the contract and their rights and obligations. Claims arising out of passenger carriage subject to applicable law and contracts containing standard terms and conditions are addressed. It is rare for passengers to examine the terms and conditions of t
Electric road systems (ERSs) present a transformative advancement in transportation electrification, offering continuous charging capabilities for electric vehicles (EVs) during travel. This innovation has the potential to significantly mitigate range anxiety by enabling in-motion charging, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of electric mobility, and reducing the frequency of charging stops
This thesis is devoted to examining the recently established human rights regime within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), consisting of the ASEAN Charter, the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), and the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Women and Children (ACWC). The overall purpose is study if the regime will ensure better adherence of h
Public Private Partnership, PPP, is a public procurement method involving the private sector used in several countries all over the world, now upcoming in Sweden. The UK, most prominent within this method, states that it offers good value for money, but the economic and financial benefits of PPP are still uncertain and subjects of debate. In order for the projects to be successful and to achieve v
Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen kring samspelet mellan varumärkens hållbarhetsuppfattning hos konsumenter och deras kundbaserade varumärkeskapital. Undersökningen bygger på en kvalitativ studie i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio respondenter i varierat åldersspann. Ett abduktivt angreppssätt har tillämpats för att möjliggöra en mer flexibel arbetsprocess vid insamling av empiri
I samband med att multinationella företag växt fram och fått en ökad betydelse och räckvidd i vår nu globaliserade ekonomi, har företagens sociala ansvar blivit en uppmärksammad och mycket aktuell fråga. Andra faktorer såsom klimatförändringar, mänskliga rättigheter och arbetsförhållanden har också bidragit till ökade krav på ansvar. Ett antal internationella standarder och rekommendationer på omrThe importance and reach of multinational enterprises has expanded dramatically in our now globalized economy which has led to corporate social responsibility becoming an attention-grabbing and current issue. Other factors such as climate change, human rights and labor conditions have contributed to increased demands for responsibility. A number of international standards and recommendations in th
Bakgrund: Tvångsåtgärder fyller en funktion inom psykiatrisk slutenvård, framförallt i syfte att öka säkerheten för personal och patienter. Användandet av tvångsåtgärder är förenat med en stor inskränkning i patientens autonomi och kan medföra fysiska såväl som psykiska skador. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av tvångsåtgärder inom psykiatrisk slutenvård. Metod: Uppsatsen genomförd
Objective: Family members of a person with drug addiction often experience negative impacts on their lives and face barriers to seeking professional support. More knowledge is needed about such barriers so they can be reduced. This article examines the help-seeking experiences of parents of adult children with drug addiction, a group that has received little attention in research. Method: We condu
I artikeln presenterar forskarna Tillsammans-projektet, som syftar till att förbättra socialt stöd genom samverkan mellan civilsamhället och vården. Projektet bygger på community connector-modellen, där en samhällskontakt agerar som mellanhand för att koppla patienter till stöttande resurser. Modellen, som utvecklats genom workshops, strävar efter att skapa ett mer omfattande stöd utanför vården, I artikeln presenterar forskarna Tillsammans-projektet, som syftar till att förbättra socialt stöd genom samverkan mellan civilsamhället och vården.

Background: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COV
While sharing good teaching practice is at the core of most academic developers’ professional roles, little systematic evidence has been collected on this topic so far. This paper investigates if, how and for what specific purposes academic developers collect and share teaching artefacts. We report on an exploratory, survey-based study among academic developers from around the world. Our findings
