Global climate models (GCMs) are challenged by difficulties in simulating cloud phase and cloud radiative effect over the Southern Ocean (SO). Some of the new-generation GCMs predict too much liquid and too little ice in mixed-phase clouds. This misrepresentation of cloud phase in GCMs results in weaker negative cloud feedback over the SO and a higher climate sensitivity. Based on a model comparis

Background: Patient representatives are increasingly engaged in quality in health care, and even though quality data are publicly available, correct interpretation may be challenging. We designed a randomized study with the primary aim to examine the association between preferred data presentation format and the interpretation of quality data among cancer patients and relatives. Material and metho

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det här arbetet handlar om individuell religiositet, snarare än om religion. Min studie rör i första hand människor som utövar zen, och har mindre att göra med zenbuddhism som ideologiskt system. Jag försöker utforska det stora gapet mellan teori och praktik. De mer abstrakta doktrinerna och idealiserande normerna har haft en benägenhet att dominera arbeten om zen, såväThis work is not so much about religion as about individual religiosity. It is primarily about people practicing Zen, less about Zen Buddhism as a systematic ideology or philosophy. I set out from the start to try to explore the wide gap between theory and practice in Zen. The more abstract doctrines and idealized norms have had a tendency to dominate works on Zen, confessional as well as scholast

Popular Abstract in Swedish Randomiserade, kontrollerade studier av patientutbildning med tonvikt på patienter med hjärtsvikt och patienter med ledsjukdomar.För att förbättra behandling och omhändertagandet av patienter med kroniska sjukdomar måste kontrollerade studier med olika mål och effektvariabler utföras. En begränsning i många studier är att patientmaterialet är selekterat och patient- proIn order to improve the treatment and care of patients with chronic diseases, controlled studies have to be performed continuously. It is widely believed that giving education/information to patients will increase their knowledge and compliance, which will decrease medical events and cost. Most educational activities in clinical practice are not based on evaluated models of effective disease manag

Swedish emigration to America is a topic that does not hold a major position in Swedish historical research anymore. At one time, during the 1960s and 1970s, there were a major research project, Sweden and America after 1860, that focused primarily on the reasons of the migration, the demographics of the migration and to some extent what happened to the emigrants in America. The research project d

Detta examensarbete identifierar styrkor och svagheter i multilevel governance-teorin, när denna appliceras på EU-domstolens rättspraxis. Metoden som används är alltså främst en rättsfallsanalys. Material från ett flertal författare har använts för att identifiera relevanta rättsfall och ge juridiska analyser av rättspraxisen, samt även ge en beskrivning av teorin. Genom beskrivningen av teorin haThis thesis identifies the strengths and weaknesses of multilevel governance when the theory is applied to the case law of the Court of Justice. The method used is thus first and foremost a case law study. Materials from various scholars have been used to identify relevant cases and provide legal analyses of the case law, as well as provide a description of the theory. Through the description of t

Uppsatsen undersöker rättskällevärdet för OECD:s riktlinjer om internprissättning för multinationella företag och skattemyndigheter vid tolkning av de s.k. korrigeringsreglerna i svensk och tysk lagstiftning. Genom internprissättning (transfer pricing) avgörs priserna vid transaktioner av fysiska varor och immateriella värden samt utförande av tjänster internt mellan närstående företag i multinatiThis paper examines the legal value of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations as a source of law for the legal systems of Sweden and Germany with regards to internal law regulations enforcing compliance to the arm´s length principle in transfer pricing. Transfer prices are the prices at which enterprises transfer physical goods and intangible pr

A Spatial Analysis of Homicide Crime’s Distribution and Association with Deprivation in Stockholm Between 2010-2017 Homicide crimes are rare events depending on numerous factors and tend to be distributed differently based on geographic location. The use of spatial analysis is substantively important for detecting different predictors in varying geographic areas and for the diffusion process of h

Rätten till religions-och samvetsfrihet utgör båda mänskliga rättigheter och stadgas i artikel 9 Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (härefter EKMR). Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utifrån ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv, behandla både nationell och internationell lagstiftning samt de rättsliga frågeställningar som aktualiseras vid The right to freedom of religion and freedom of conscience are both human rights that are stipulated in Article 9 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). The purpose of this thesis is from a labour law perspective examine both national and international law and the legal issues that can arise in a conflict between midwives and their employers,

Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett omfattande samhällsproblem. En aspekt av detta problem som inte har uppmärksammats i samma utsträckning är att barn ofta bevittnar våldet, eftersom att det vanligtvis sker i hemmet. Det är svårt att fastställa hur många barn som bevittnar våld mot närstående, men studier visar att ungefär 100 000–200 000 barn i Sverige är drabbade. Denna framställning syftar till att, One of the most relevant and major issues in todays’ society is men’s violence against women. Another issue in relation to domestic violence, which has not been addressed to the same extent, is that children often witness this violence since it usually takes place at home. It is difficult to estimate how many children witness domestic violence, but studies show that approximately 100,000 - 200,000

Iron is an important material in the study of societies of the Iron Age and later periods. Not only does it give its name to the period it was also an integrated part in every humans’ life from the Iron Age and forward. And yet this material is many times just assumed to be there without much consideration of how it got there. In this master thesis, the author thus tries to bridge this gap in betw

Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine and annexation of the Crimean peninsula raised security concerns in the Baltic States as potential targets of invasion. This anxiety was strengthened after the EU launched a civilian Advisory Mission (EUAM) in Ukraine as a response to Russia’s illegal actions. Such a soft response to Russia’s foray into Ukraine has raised doubts about the EU’s credibility as

Sedan 1895 har det funnits bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation på grund av kapitalbrist. Idag återfinns bestämmelserna i Aktiebolagslagen 25 kap. 13–20 §§. Reglerna stipulerar att styrelsen under vissa förutsättningar är skyldig att agera. När denna handlingsplikt för styrelsen uppkommer, framgår av ABL 25 kap. 13 §: Styrelsen ska genast upprätta en kontrollbalansräkning när det finns skäl att anta Since 1895, there have been provisions on compulsory liquidation due to capital shortage. Today, the provisions are found in the Swedish Companies Act (ABL) chapter 25 art. 13-20. The rules stipulate that the board is, under certain conditions, obliged to act. When this duty to act arises for the board, is stated in ABL chapter 25 art. 13: The board shall immediately draw up a control balance shee

This essay investigates how new innovations are introduced and implemented in the transportation system, and serves to illustrate this through a case study of Skånetrafiken and its plans to integrate mobility services. Mobility stands at the precipice of structural changes which will effectively challenge the social position of the car as the most common and self-evident choice of transportation.

Miljonprogramseran kallas den byggnadsperiod som sträcker sig från 1965-1974. Detta var en tid i svensk byggnadshistoria där storskalighet och effektivt byggande förespråkades. Under perioden uppfördes 1 005 578 bostäder i Sverige och idag består en fjärdedel av Sveriges bostadsbestånd av bebyggelse från 1960- och 70-talet. Den höga byggtakten under denna tidsperiod möjliggjordes genom att husen eDuring the period 1965-1974 Sweden underwent a major housing development program, collectively referred to in Sweden as Miljonprogramseran (the million program era). These years where characterized by the idea of building on a large and effective scale. During this period 1 005 578 various forms of housing where constructed, and today a quarter of Sweden’s housing consists of projects dating back

The world is in transition. Europe is a Europe of transition. And so is the city; an incomplete, ever-changing and complex construct. While life itself is built upon the concept of change, organic order and vitality, society is currently finding itself struggling not to fall behind time. The Industrial Revolution has led to greater productivity and larger economic turnovers. Developments picked

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke (även kallat slaganfall) är den tredje vanligaste dödsorsaken efter hjärtsjukdom och cancer i stora delar av världen. Strokesjukdomen består av blodpropp (hjärninfarkt), blödning i hjärnan (intracerebral blödning) eller blödning i dess hinnor (subaraknoidal blödning). Stroke definieras enligt WHO som snabbt påkomna neurologiska symptom (t.ex. förlamning, talsvåriBackground: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability. Investigations of the epidemiological trends for stroke might result in better understanding of stroke pathogenesis and prevention. Methods: The trends of first-ever stroke incidence and survival over 3 time periods (1983-85, 1993-95 and 2001/2002) in Lund-Orup health care district were studied. The first 2 study periods were retrospect

This thesis, “Die Wiedergabe der Wirklichkeit” (“The Reported Reality”), explores from a contrastive perspective what linguistic strategies serious German and Swedish newspapers use in different text genres as they report from reality. Two German – die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and die Süddeutsche Zeitung – and two Swedish newspapers – Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet – are studied. For e

In the post-genomic era, it has become evident that genetic changes alone are not sufficient to understand most disease processes including pancreatic cancer. Genome sequencing has revealed a complex set of genetic alterations in pancreatic cancer such as point mutations, chromosomal losses, gene amplifications and telomere shortening that drive cancerous growth through specific signaling pathways
