What indicates that the Scandinavian bog bodies were places in bogs as a result of a ritual act? This paper will try to look into this by studying different cases of bog bodies from the Early Iron Age. To answer this question, I will examine the various theories researchers provide regarding bog bodies and why they were deposited. In a time period and region which is mainly dominated by cremation,
The conformational entropy of proteins can make significant contributions to the free energy of ligand binding. NMR spin relaxation enables site-specific investigation of conformational entropy, via order parameters that parameterize local reorientational fluctuations of rank-2 tensors. Here we have probed the conformational entropy of lactose binding to the carbohydrate recognition domain of gale
The purpose of this essay was to find out what alcoholics themselves mean were the way out of their drinking abuse. The questions at stake are: · What kind of context did the interviewed live in before and after the turning point? · How did the process of getting out of the alcohol abuse look like? · What different factors may have influenced the turning point, the maintenance and the intervie
After the fall of communism in Yugoslavia the ethnic resentment grew stronger and escalated in to interethnic civil conflict in 1992. After international intervention the General Framework Agreement for Peace (GFAP) installed peace in 1995. The treaty's aim was not only to establish peace but also to institute democracy in Bosnia. The OSCE were given the task to implement democracy within poli
Since the Second World War, the systems of trade and environmental law have evolved very differently. It is claimed that the complete trading system impedes the development of the more shattered environmental system and that conflicts between them are likely to increase. Some argues that a solution would be to incorporate the environmental system should in the WTO. The purpose of this thesis is t
Since 1983 the people of Sri Lanka has endured an ongoing Civil war, however the intencity has varied over the years. The aim of this theses is to examine what influence the asymmetric relationship between the Sri Lankan goverment and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has on the process of negotiating a solution to the civil war. I am also examining whether the asymmetical relationship h
In the political world of today the discussion of Just wars are very present, since the international law and the UN Charter provides certain rules about when it is justified to go to war (jus ad bellum) and how a justified war should be conducted (jus im bello). The discussion about jus ad bellum and jus im bello derives from the theory of Just war. Both in international law and the Just war theo
In examining the above subjectmatter, this thesis has necessarily touched on key aspects of both international public and private shipping law regarding ship finance. In doing so, it has necessarily also x-rayed the interaction between ship finance and various other key areas of law such as insolvency law, transnational commercial law, contract law etc. In this wise, the ship finance transaction a
Problem: Ett nationellt vaccinationsregister där samtliga vaccinationer registreras finns inte i dagsläget. Ett sådant register är tekniskt möjligt men det saknas en specifik, rättslig reglering. Nu pågår en beslutsprocess där olika aktörer försöker påverka hur en sådan reglering bör se ut. Studiedesign: Kvalitativ, deskriptiv diskursanalys av sex dokument publicerade av aktörer med intressen i This is a qualitative, descriptive discourse analysis of the decisionmaking process preceding the regulation of a national immunisation record. Presently, no law in Sweden regulates such a record. The study aims to examine if a regulation is needed, what kind of regulation is needed and who should decide about the implementation of such a regulation. Niklas Luhmann’s theory of decision-making with
In this master's thesis I analyse how partially changing ideas and procedures regarding democracy can be incorporated into local politics. I argue that you can see a development of a democracy policy field, democracy politics, in Sweden, where politicians introduce initiatives with the aim of involving citizens in decision-making processes. I have chosen to conduct a case study on the city of
The purpose of this essay was to study the social planning, in terms of age care, of the elderly immigrants in Sweden. I wanted to examine if elderly immigrants have special needs and if so, how they are met. I also wanted to find out in what way elderly immigrants are taken into consideration in the planning process of age care and how one can relate that to the planning of age care in general. M
The increased demand for high purity nanoparticles (NPs) of defined geometry necessitates the continuous development of generation routes. One of the most promising physical techniques for producing metal, semiconductor or alloy NPs in the gas phase is spark discharge NP generation. The technique has a great potential for up-scaling without altering the particles. Despite the simplicity of the set
Wars are generally characterized by inflationary issue of currency. War is a costly affair which makes excessive demands on the resources of a country so that a large part of the productive apparatus has to be geared to the war needs. The government of a country involved in war has to find new sources of finance to cover the high costs of labour and materials for the war effort which does not sati
Learning is often a central element of tourism. Tourists can learn actively, i.e. with a specific purpose, as well as passively through the comparison of values, norms and customs. It has been argued that travel supports active learning that has positive outcomes for sustainability, for instance, in the context of conservation. Yet, the complexity of active and passive learning processes and their
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept coworkers’ communicative responsibility taking and to test which factors might influence coworkers’ tendency to take communicative responsibility. The study is split into two phases where on exploratory phase consisted of an exploratory factor analysis on 2244 with the aim to find specific latent factors to test in the confirmatory phase. The c
Målet med denna studie är att ge ökad insikt i hur väl geoelektriska under-sökningar i en heterogen berggrund kan avbilda geologiska strukturer för att kunna vidare¬utveckla och anpassa framtida bergundersökningar.En ”bra” prognos av bergkvalitet ger bättre möjligheter till minskad risknivå vid projektering och upphandling. Omvänt gäller att osäkerheter i bergtekniska prognoser vad gäller bergets The aim of this project is to enhance the understanding of how geoelectrical investigations in a heterogeneous rock mass can image geological structures in order to develop and adapt future rock assessment methods.A "good" rock quality forecast provides better opportunities for reduced risk level in the design and procurement phases of a construction project. Conversely, uncertainties in a forecas
While there has been a long tradition of public space related land speculation and development, the recent success of the High Line in New York has highlighted the transformative effect carefully designed and curated public spaces can have on the local economy. By prioritising exchange value over use value, governments and developers are exploiting the production of public spaces as a means for fi
Although there has been a long tradition of public space-related land speculation and development, the recent success of the High Line in New York has highlighted the transformative effect carefully designed and curated public spaces can have on the local economy.

Neuroinflammation is a major contributor to the progressive brain injury process induced by traumatic brain injury (TBI), and may play an important role in the pathophysiology of axonal injury. The immediate neuroinflammatory cascade cannot be characterized in the human setting. Therefore, we used the midline fluid percussion injury model of diffuse TBI in rats and a novel microdialysis (MD) metho
