Despite the economic disparity between the two countries, the newly available data on well-being, as prese

Stranderosion har länge utgjort ett stort problem vid många av Skånes sandiga kuster. Erosionen har varit speciellt svår vid Löderups strandbad. Det undersökta området består av en 2.6 km lång kustremsa. I de västra delarna där samhället ligger har stränderna varit skyddade av strandskoningar sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Trots dessa skydd har flera hus blivit förstörda under stormar de senaste deceSevere beach erosion has for long been a great problem for the house owners at Löderup seaside resort in Scania, south Sweden. Several houses have been destroyed during storms the last decades, despite constructions of sea walls. The aim of the investigation has been to describe the status and changes of the coastline during one year from April 1991 to April 1992, to determine the extent of the co

Reducing and eradicating poverty is one of humanities pressing challenges, one that the UN Commission of Legal Empowerment of the Poor has taken on. This thesis describes the prevailing poverty of South African farm workers and dwellers and explores why the empowerment efforts that have been made have not lifted them out of poverty. The results of this study are contrasted with the results of the

According to the Swedish Enforcement Code a debtor is presumed to be the sole owner of movable property which is possessed jointly with a spouse or domestic partner. In my thesis, I investigate this statutory presumption of ownership from a family law perspective. The applicability of the statutory presumption as well as its legal repercussions are determined by family law. It is therefore surprisAccording to the Swedish Enforcement Code a debtor is presumed to be the sole owner of movable property which is possessed jointly with a spouse or domestic partner.

Long-chain polyunsaturated (LCP) fatty acids derived from linoleic (18:2 n-6) and alpha-linolenic (18:3 n-3) acids are considered essential nutrients in preterm infants. The efficiency by which such fatty acids are released as absorbable products from triacylglycerol was explored in vitro using rat chylomicron triacylglycerol as substrate.

The purpose of this study is to understand the reason for pick up orders within construction maintenance sectors. Also why alternatives to pick up orders such as deliveries aren´t being utilized as frequently and what can be used to increase the usage of these alternatives is being reviewed. Via interviews with local managers, artisans and other staff within the case company, the opinions on diffe

In this thesis, the territorial scope of patent law in space is analyzed. The purpose and the research questions are: Do patents apply in space, and can an inventor be protected against unauthorized use of a patented invention made in space? Patents are a national territorial exclusive right that is not applicable in space because there is no jurisdiction. The “Big Five” space treaties were es

When they migrate to another Member State (MS), EU citizens must adjust to a country whose legal environment is composed of both national laws and EU laws. Additionally, mobile EU citizens have their own legal culture which crafts the way they make sense of mundane circumstances and social interactions. What comes out of the mutual interplay between the host MS’s legal environment and mobile EU ci

Prior research indicates that the increase in help towards 1 identified victim (identifiable victim effect) is partly driven by affective reasoning. When negative affective information is salient, help towards victims that can be helped decline, an effect known as pseudoinefficacy. However, the affective component has not been clearly defined, and help efforts has been used interchangeably with me

The intersection of theory and practice: Do crisis communication practitioners apply theoretical guidelines and what (or who) might be stopping them? Abstract Twenty-five in-depth interviews with European crisis communication practitioners were conducted in order to examine the gap between crisis communication theory and practice. Over the years crisis communication has grown to be an important re

Many birds use a flight mode called undulating or flap-gliding flight, where they alternate between flapping and gliding phases, while only a few bats make use of such a flight mode. Among birds, flap-gliding is commonly used by medium to large species, where it is regarded to have a lower energetic cost than continuously flapping flight. Here, we introduce a novel model for estimating the energet

OBJECTIVES: Homografts are often in short supply. Today, European guidelines recommend that all tissues contaminated by any of 18 different bacteria and fungi be discarded before antibiotic decontamination has been conducted. The tissue bank in Lund uses more liberal protocols: It accepts all microbes prior to decontamination except multiresistant microbes and Pseudomonas species. The aim of this
