The lithology, age, geological setting, structural and metamorphic history of the granitic mylonites from the Mylonite Zone (MZ) in southwestern Sweden have been studied extensively. The deformation history, growth of microstructures, intensity of deformation, changes in mineral compositions, and pressure-temperature conditions of deformation have, however, not been addressed. In this study, powde
Wind power is seen by many observers as an important part of the transition to a sustainable energy system, since it does not contribute to the environmental problems connected with dominating energy forms such as fossil fuel, nuclear power and large-scale hydro power. At the same time wind power has some characteristics that makes it a special challenge for land use planning. In Sweden, where win
During the stress response adrenal medullary chromaffin cells release catecholamines to the bloodstream. Voltage-activated calcium channels present in the cell membrane play a crucial role in this process. Although the electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of chromaffin cell calcium channels have been studied in detail, the molecular composition of these channels has not been defined
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to evaluate the air levels of N-nitrosamines in the Swedish rubber industry and (ii) to estimate the risk of symptoms and changed levels of immunologic markers in relation to these levels.METHODS: Using adsorption tubes, we collected samples of N-nitrosamines in the breathing zone of 96 rubber workers and analyzed them with liquid chromatography t

Studien använde sig av case series design på tre patienter med en ångestproblematik som primärdiagnos. Studien följde förändringar i symtom av depression, ångest och upplevd livskvalitet samt känsloregleringThe present study aimed to investigate the transdiagnostic and emotion-focused CBT treatment program Unified Protocol in a group format in a general psychiatric outpatient clinic. The study used case series design on three patients with anxiety problems as primary diagnosis. The study followed changes in symptoms of depression, anxiety and perceived quality of life and emotion regulation skills du
The issue of an increasing number of people globally that are adopting unsustainable lifestyles is important because we are destroying the earth’s resources at an accelerating rate. In particular, the pattern of major increasing environmental impact caused by modern food production has the potential to become an important sector for climate change mitigation, but despite the myriad of guides avai
The purpose of this study was to describe and analyse how case-workers manage the mental and social needs within elderly care. Many elderly suffer from mental illness, depression och loneliness. The study was conducted by qualitative semistructured interviews with case-workers through a targeted selection process. The study showed that physical needs are easier to manage and carry out rather than
Mammals express thirteen different isoforms of the membrane-bound water channel aquaporin in a tissue-dependent manner. From a medical point of view, two of the most studied isoforms are aquaporin (AQP0), also known as major intrinsic protein and aquaporin 2 (AQP2). AQP0 is exclusively expressed in the mammalian eye lens and responsible for the transport of water across lens fiber cell membranes t
This study contributes to the understanding of supply-side Training for Employment (TE) for the unemployed youth. The rates of youth unemployment in the European Unions have been matter of concern in the political agenda in the latest years, thus the European Employment Strategy has placed a particular emphasis in addressing this issue. As a result of the 2008 economic recession, the rates of yout
This essay concerns ring brooches in Lund from late Viking age and the Middle ages, 10th to 16th century. The purpose is first and foremost to typologize the ring brooches and to investigate the similarities and differences between them. Moreover, this essay investigate why the brooches change in form and decoration over the period of time and what these changes can disclose about Lund and how it
To reduce the risk of serious chemical accidents to occur there is a legislation called the Seveso-legislation. One part of this legislation demands that all business that handle certain amounts of chemical compounds to submit a safety report in order to get permission to run their business. The safety report should contain over-all plans of how to handle safety as well as detailed descriptions o
In the E. ON sponsored research project, Distibution LABoratory, at the Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation at LTH the impact of the increased move towards use of cables in the Swedish distribution grid is examined. The project also built a model of a small distribution grid. The model was used to simulate a Petersen coil earthed grid system. Petersen coil earthing lower
Global demands for water continue to rise while at the same time, the availability of reliable water resources are deteriorating. As 70% of the world’s human consumption of water resources is directed towards agricultural production, the need to improve water use efficiency and sustainability in these areas is of utmost importance. In order to tackle these issues, the concept of “Integrated water
Background The fierce competition in the telecom industry makes operators heavily invest in acquiring new customers. This is most often done with marketing campaigns and subsidies of handsets. But to be truly profitable, it is crucial not only to attract new customers, but also to make sure they retain with the company for as long time as possible. This turns the mobile operators’ attention to cus
Abstract: Background: Breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer among women in Sweden. While the short- to mid-term survival chances are good, the long-term survival chances are poor, and a large number of women are also likely being overtreated and thus suffer from unnecessary side effects. The South Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network - Breast (SCAN-B) Initiative aims at improving breast ca
Thesis purpose: In order to contribute to Consumer Culture Theory, as well as critical dimensions in the foodie literature namely authenticity, democracy/distinction and gender, the study’s aim is to explore how discourses and socio-cultural meanings underlie identity constructions in the specific sourdough culture. Theoretical framework: As no research addresses the sourdough phenomenon directly
Speed, portability and quality. These are all attributes that manufacturers are striving to achieve. The demand for speed is making wireless frequencies increase with a steady pace. The demand for portability is filling the world with high speed wireless devices that are expecting their data fast and without errors. The demand for quality is met by making efficient ways of testing products before
Denna uppsats behandlar tvångsinlösen av minoritetsaktier i onoterade bolag i syfte att klargöra rättsläget genom att analysera gällande rätt. Tvångsinlösen av minoritetsaktier möjliggörs när en majoritetsaktie-ägare äger nio tiondelar av aktierna i ett bolag. Majoritetsaktieägaren kan då lösa in en eller flera minoritetsaktieägares aktier i bolaget. Lösenbeloppet blir ofta föremål för tvist, särThis essay answers a series of questions regarding the process of valuation of shares in unlisted limited companies when subject to a squeeze-out. The purpose of the thesis is to clarify the legal position by analysing the law. A squeeze-out is enabled when a shareholder owns more than nine tenths of the shares in a company. The majority shareholder may then choose to force the minority sharehold
Enligt svensk lag föreligger sedan länge äktenskapshinder mot att ingå månggifte och tvegifte är dessutom kriminaliserat. Vidare är det svenska äktenskapet per definition monogamt. Makar ska även vara jämställda och behandlas lika. Det finns länder som tillåter månggiften av ekonomiska och sociala skäl.

Monogamy, as well as gender equality and equality in general, are fundamental principles in Swedish family law. Polygamous marriages are legal in certain other states due to being considered favorable for both economic and social reasons. Many foreign polygamous marriages that figure in Sw
The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. To perform these searches, many ATLAS analyses look
