The transfer of 210Po and 210Pb between various compartments in the terrestrial environment has been analysed by using various published data. The average activity concentration of 210Po in soil is 61 ± 14 Bq.kg-1 d.w. with a median (50%) value of 44 Bq.kg-1 d.w. Ground water concentrations of 210Po in drilled wells might be as high as 6.5 Bq/l. But in regular drinking water it is just about 3-5
Sjöfartsindustrin står för närvarande inför ett paradigmskifte i och med framväxandet av Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). Dessa fartyg är utformade för att verka autonomt, utan mänsklig närvaro ombord. Den nuvarande rättsliga strukturen inom sjörätten bygger emellertid på antagandet att människor befinner sig ombord på fartygen, vilket har lett till uppkomsten av rättsliga frågor och osäkThe shipping industry is currently at the beginning of a transformative shift with the introduction of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). With MASS, ships will function without the need for humans onboard. However, the current legal framework within maritime law is built on the premise that humans are in fact onboard ships. Therefore, legal questions and uncertainties have risen alongside t
Despite previous studies extensively focusing on the domestic aspects of the Thai radical and left-wing movement, Thai left-wing publications, and its cultural politics, little is known about the comparative and transnational perspectives. This thesis examines the Thai Leftist Movement and its articulations from the 1970s to the early 1980s in Thailand and Europe, demonstrating how translation pla
The purpose of this research was to examine existing governance arrangements within the Australian federal public service and possible improvements for managing systemic risks at a national level. While there has been greater attention and discussion on systemic risks recently, research on how to govern systemic risk remains in its infancy. Where systemic risk governance is discussed, it is genera
Cultural values and beliefs within the jazz community have intrigued social scientists for a long time. Being one of the oldest recognised subcultures, jazz has been celebrated for its socio-political ambitions as well as the complexity and aesthetics of the music itself. Being recognised as an outlet for fighting social injustices throughout history, the notable exclusion of female jazz musicians
Dark matter is the problem of apparent missing mass in the universe, a discrepancy between observations of large-scale astronomical dynamics, and the observed matter density in large scale structures. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed experiment to probe the realm of “light dark matter" in the mass range MeV to GeV. Light dark matter refers to a class of models where a new
The diffusion equation is a partial differential equation that describes how quantities such as heat, particles, or other diffusive substances spread out over time and space. This type of equation can be, at often times, quite challenging to solve analytically. Finding the exact solution is often difficult due to the com- plexity of the functions involved. This thesis focuses on solving the diffus
Consumers evaluate each step of their journey, which influences consumer’s expectations for further experiences and future intentions. Accordingly, past experiences are stored in consumers’ memory but each part of the journey will not be remembered. What drives further behaviours and intentions are the events of the experience that are considered more emotional and atypical, also called peaks. The
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to find out what pharmaceutical companies are doing in exploitation and exploration to improve R&D productivity. This research will also investigate the implications of management and control theories in combining exploration and exploitation in the context of pharmaceutical R&D. Methodology: Multiple case study interviews. Theoretical perspective
IntroductionEmerging evidence suggests a difference in access to facilities for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) and delivery among women in different regions of the country. However, we lack assessments at a large scale across all geographies. Our study aims to describe the percent contribution of private and public sectors in institutional deliveries and MTP in India.MethodsA secondary dat
Aggregation of α-synuclein is associated with neurodegeneration and a hallmark pathology in synucleinopathies. These aggregates are thought to function as prion-like particles where the conformation of misfolded α-synuclein determines the traits of the induced pathology, similar to prion diseases. Still, little is known about the molecular targets facilitating the conformation-specific biological
The archipelago region of Southeast Asia is characterised by a great number of calendars of which we treat only a few. The early calendars were essentially original Indian calendars although with modified intercalation schemes. From the fifteenth century in the Christian era the region was increasingly dominated by Islamic influences and successively adopted Muslim calendars alth
BACKGROUND: The current study explores predictors and moderators of pediatric PTSD outcomes for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Writing Therapy (CBWT). METHODS: Data were obtained as part of a multi-center randomized controlled trial of up to six sessions (up to 45 minutes each) of either EMDR therapy, CBWT, or wait-list, involving 101 youth (a
According to the Stereotype Content Model (SCM), the content of stereotypes differs on two dimensions: communion and agency. Research shows that for stereotypes about the general gender categories of “women” and “men,” there is an ambivalent pattern of communion and agency, where high levels on one dimension are associated with low levels on the other. For sexual minority stereotypes, a gender inv
Background: A community-based intervention was implemented to improve maternal, child, and adolescent health practices, promote financial literacy and enhance livelihood opportunities for young people in marginalized communities. A hypothesis related to our intervention was that peer-led education sessions on health and nutrition in conjunction with community mobilization would change communities'
Katarzyna Herds bidrag synar hur fotbollssupportrar reagerat på avsaknaden av fysiska fotbollsmatcher under det gångna året. Hennesartikel behandlar hur man upprätthåller engagemang för sitt lag genom crowdfunding-kampanjer och virtuella bortamatchbussar, och ställer sig frågan hur man konsumerar fotboll när man inte kan gå på fotboll.This article is based on the lack of football activities during the global pandemic of 2020 (and unfortunately still in the beginning of 2021), focusing on a Swedish club from Stockholm called AIK (Allmänna Idrotsklubben). This lack of activities presentedin the article happened between April 2020 and March 2021.
