Det sen-Triassiska massutdöendet (STM) som inträffade för omkring 201 miljoner år sedan är känt som ett av ”de fem stora” massutdöendena under Fanerozoisk tid. Massutdöendet påverkade främst marina ekosystem, vilket resulterade i en global minskning av ryggradslösa djur och utdöendet av konodonterna. Orsaken till STM kan anknytas till utbrotten av den Central-Atlantiska magmatiska provinsen (CAMP)The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETME) which occurred around 201 Ma is known as one of “the big five” mass extinction events of the Phanerozoic eon. Its effects were most severe on marine ecosystems, resulting in a global decline of invertebrate taxa and the complete extinction of the conodonts. The cause of the ETME can be attributed to the volcanic activity of the Central Atlantic magmatic prov

The concepts of ‘Old School’ and ‘New School’, peculiar to hip-hop's lexicon, have long been framed by theories of subculture heavily drawing on a binary scale of authenticity and inauthenticity. This dichotomy is widely used to characterize a discursive conflict between the authentic aspects of hip-hop music and its excessively commercialized versions undermining hip-hop’s counter-hegemonic p

The aim of this study was to investigate how care managers of elderly care reason about their work with partners to persons with dementia, to create a deeper understanding of dilemmas that occur in this line of social work. The method used was qualitative and the empirical material gathered through semi-structured interviews with five care managers. The inquiries focused on the view on partners’ s

The aim of this study has been to explore social workers negotiations and meaning making on heterosexual norms, in order to understand possibilities on how to change these norms within the social services. The study consists of material from two different municipalities which both has participated in a project on heterosexual norms. Both municipalities have had a group of seven people discussing i

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka vad elever säger om de didaktiska aspekterna av Våga!. Våga! är ett utbildningskoncept där musikundervisning och sex- och samlevnadsundervisning möts. Konceptet består av tre delar; en humoristisk, pedagogisk musikföreställning om sex och samlevnad, ett samtal kring föreställningen och ett efterarbetesmaterial. Uppsatsen utgår från Arfwedsson och Arfwedssons (1This essay examines what pupils say about the didactical aspects of Våga! (The Swedish word ”didaktik” is to a large extent equivalent to ”curriculum research”. However, in the lack of an exact translation, the word ”didactics” is used in this abstract, knowing that that word has different connotations in English than in Swedish.) Våga! is an educational concept, in which music education and sexua

Motivated by the increasing importance of today’s environmental issues as well as by the increasing concerns related to energy use, the study is intended to perform an energy intensity decomposition in order to analyze the effects of structural and technical changes on the energy patterns and in specific on the energy intensity of ten major developing countries in Asia and in Latin America. The ma

During this thesis work, a frequency stabilization system for an External Littrow Cavity Diode Laser (ECDL) at 370 nm has been set up and tested. The goal of the frequency stabilization is to achieve a long term frequency stability of less than ±50 kHz within 8 hours, which will be used for the single Ce ion detection project in the quantum information group. The system design is centered around a

Voltage stability is an important issue in electrical power system. As a result, several industrial-grade power system simulator tools are developed in order to estimate the behaviour of the electric power system under certain conditions. Several tests have been developed to compare and to check different simulators and to prove their correct performance. Comparisons between commercial simulation

Backgrund: Nederman har ett långsiktigt mål att förbättra enheten i Helsingborg. Ett steg i detta är att se om det finns några förbättringar att genomföra i lagerstyrningen i form av lager- och servicenivåer. Detta då de anställda upplever dagens verktyg som ganska trubbiga för det nuvarande produktsortimenetet och att detta kanske kan förbättras genom ytterliggare en dimension på det befintliga sBackground: Nederman has a long term goal of improving their supply unit in Helsingborg. One step of this is to investigate if there are any improvements to be made in the inventory control in terms of stock levels and service level. This since the employees at Nederman believes that the existing methods are too blunt as a tool for the product range and that their methods can be improved by adding

Ett av de uttalande målen för det gemensamma systemet för mervärdesskatt är att förhindra skatteflykt, skatteundandragande och missbruk. Dessa koncept besläktade i den bemärkelse att de alla hindrar att skattesystemet tillämpas på det sätt som det avsetts att göra. Dock finns det betydande, inneboende skillnader i koncepten och hur de tillämpas. Genom avgörandet i Halifax-domen slog Domstolen en gOne of the explicit objectives for the common VAT-system is to prevent tax evasion, -avoidance and -abuse. These concepts are related in the sense that all three concepts aim to prevent that the provisions of the system are applied in a manner that conflicts with the purpose of the system and the provisions. There are however substantial, inherent differences between the concepts and the way that

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka gällande rätt avseende förutsättningarna för förvaltningsbesluts verkställbarhet och att fokusera på betydelsen av att beslut vinner laga kraft. Uppsatsen berör även utvecklingen på området och de lege ferenda. Innebörden av att ett förvaltningsbeslut blir verkställbart är inte enbart att beslutet kan eller ska verkställas med hjälp av en myndighet. I begreppet inThe purpose of the thesis is to examine the law in regard to the conditions of enforceability of decisions in administrative law and, in particular, the significance of legal force. The thesis also deals with the development of relevant legal matter and de lege ferenda. The enforceability of a decision in administrative law does not only mean that it may or shall be enforced by an authority. It al

The Shapeyard project was an attempt to commercialize a piece of university research by two academics at Lund University. Their algorithm that they developed together allowed for the customization of furniture using morphological patterns found in nature as a design concept. The idea was brought to a group of students completing their Masters of Science in Entrepreneurship degree in order to gain

Research questions: How will price altering affect sales volume for IKEA of Sweden Business Area 10’s products? Is it possible to estimate the products’ price elasticities? If so, what data is sufficient and how can these parameters contribute to future pricing procedures at BA10? What product properties are necessary in order to retain a reliable analysis? In which way are sales volumes influence

This thesis is about avenues (tree-lined roads – in Swedish alléer). Avenues are a characteristic landscape element in many parts of Scania. This is an object created by man with a clear visual effect in the landscape. The avenue is also something which is both nature and culture, a man-made object from nature. The purpose of the thesis is to describe, analyse and discuss the historical geograph

Background: The objective was to understand patients' views of treatment after acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and their reasons for deciding to request surgery despite consenting to participate in a randomised controlled trial (to 'cross-over'). Methods: Thirty-four in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with young (aged 18-35), physically active individuals with ACL ruptur

This paper presents a low voltage continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (DSM) intended for the receiver of an ultra-low-power radio. The DSM features a 2nd-order loop filter implemented with a single operational amplifier to reduce the power consumption. Furthermore, a 4-bit quantizer is used to achieve high resolution while keeping the sampling frequency low. The quantizer is realized using the s

The topic of cognitive foresight in non-human animals has received considerable attention in the last decade. The main questions concern whether the animals can prepare for upcoming situations which are, to various degrees, contextually or sensorially detached from the situation in which the preparations are made. Studies on great apes have focused on tool-related tasks, e.g., the ability to selec

Identification and isolation of cardiomyocytes from the heart, embryonic stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells is a challenging task and will require specific isolation techniques. Less than 30% of the cells within the murine heart are cardiomyocytes and, what is more, there are multiple sub-populations of cardiomyocytes like atrial, ventricular and conduction system cardiomyocytes.
