På Siciliens östkust strax söder om Syrakusa, ligger ett långsmalt naturområde som följer kusten längs halvön Maddalenas sydspets ut till udden Capo Murro di Porco. Det är en obebyggd kustremsa sånär som på en fyrbyggnad med två angränsande stenhus. Naturen domineras av det klippiga landskapet och de tre byggnaderna som kommit att smälta in i omgivningen. I detta arbete, som är en fallstudie som Capo Murro di Porco is situated in a narrow natural area that runs along the coast of the peninsula of Maddalena, just south of Syracuse on the east coast of Sicily. It is an area of stunning nature with dramatic topography, steep cliff sides and sparse vegetation. On the very line marking the transition from low vegetation to bare rock on the horn of the peninsula, a lighthouse and two rugged low

River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. This is done by application of a hydrological modelling sys

There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search

Byggindustrin är idag en stor källa till CO2-utsläpp. För att minska bygg- och anläggningssektorns klimatpåverkan, som idag genererar 21 procent av Sveriges utsläpp av växthusgaser, krävs en omställning mot en mer cirkulär ekonomi. Innerväggar utgör en betydande del av den färdiga byggnadens klimatavtryck. Materialval och typ av innerväggssystem kan påverka och reducera detta. Kontorsbyggnader är The construction industry today is a major source of CO2-emissions. In order to reduce the climate emissions of the building and construction sector, which today is 21 percent of Sweden's climate emissions, a transition towards a more circular economy is required. Interior walls make up a significant part of the finished building's climate impact. Material selection and type of interior wa

Det förekommer flertalet oreglerade immateriella tjänster inom svensk rätt, där uppdragstagaren, med hänvisning till avtalsfriheten, fritt kan begränsa sitt skadeståndsansvar genom ansvarsbegränsningar. Debatt har förts om grov vårdslöshet kan agera som en självständig grund för att åsidosätta en ansvarsbegränsning, i uppsatsen hänvisad till som ogiltighetsprincipen. I NJA 2017 s. 113 tas frågan uThere are several unregulated intangible services (Swe: immateriella tjänster) within the Swedish law, where a contractor, with reference to freedom of contract, can limit their contractual liability by using limitation of liability clauses. A debate has taken place regarding gross negligence and whether or not it can act as an independent reason for breaching a limitation of liability clause, in

This project aims to design a wearable phototherapy for neonatal jaundice medical care. Beginning with ergonomics research, the design also focus on mechanical structure and material to enhance medical efficiency, to achieve affordable cost, and to provide users with easy operation and safe characteristics. It will enable parents to give jaundice babies phototherapy at home and release tense hos

Tillverkning av batterier är en mycket komplex process och det är en process som Saft AB är väl förtrogen med. För att kunna producera det antal batterier Saft AB gör måste de se till att alla led i produktionen håller en viss standard. Detta projekt hade i mål att utveckla ett användarcentrerat, interaktivt verktyg för Saft AB med förmågan att övervaka och analysera data som samlas in av sensorerThe production of batteries is a substantially complex process, and it is a process with which Saft AB is greatly familiarised. In order to produce the number of batteries Saft AB does, they need to ensure that all stages of production adhere to a certain standard. This project’s purpose aimed to develop a user focused, interactive tool for Saft AB with the capability to monitor and analyse the da

The tremendous amount of multimedia applications running across the wireless communication medium makes quality of service (QoS) a fundamental requirement for mobile ad hoc networks. However, it is not easy to incorporate QoS into these networks. Moreover, the growing number of group-oriented applications also necessitates the efficient utilisation of network resources. The multicast model is a pr

Despite its recognition as an important source of variation in recruitment probability, the ecological processes leading to mortality between fledging and independence are poorly studied. Accordingly, the proximate and ultimate impact of bottom-up (food limitation) and top-down factors (predators, pathogens) for individual survival as well as population productivity is largely unknown in most terr

We present a high-resolution ( R= 75 000, S/ N ) spectroscopic analysis of the bright ( V= 11.7), extreme halo giant CS 31082-001([Fe/H] = -2.9), obtained in an ESO-VLT Large Programme dedicated to very metal-poor stars. We find CS 31082-001 to be extremely rich in r-process elements, comparable in this respect only to the similarly metal-poor, but carbon-enriched, giant CS 22892-052. As a result

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra kapitel som behandlar olika aspekter av internationell handel och dess effekter på konkurrens och produktivitet. Särskilt behandlas effekterna av EU:s expansion och fördjupade integration. Första kapitlet använder den så kallade gravitationsmodellen för att analysera hur integrationsprocessen av de Central- och Östeuropeiska länderna i EU haThis thesis consists of four papers on trade, competition and productivity with particular emphasis on the effects of various aspects of the deepening and widening of the European Union. The first paper Trade Creation, Diversion and Displacement of the EU Enlargement Process provides an assessment of the effects of the EU enlargement process on trade.

The European Spallation Source will, once fully operational in 2025, be the world's brightest neutron source. The neutrons will be generated by bombarding a tungsten target with protons accelerated to 96\% the speed of light by electromagnetic fields confined in 155 radio-frequency cavities along the world's most powerful linear accelerator.This thesis has been motivated by the strict control spec

Bluff-body flame holders are commonly employed in many industrial applications. A bluff-body is usually adopted to enhance the downstream mixing of the combustion products and the fresh fuel-air mixtures, thus to improve the flame stability and to control the combustion process. In the present paper, flames stabilized by a conical-shape bluff-body flame holder with a central air/fuel jet were stud

The survival rates of infants born preterm with extremely low birth weight (ELBW a parts per thousand currency sign 1000 g) have gradually improved over the last decades. However, these infants risk to sustain long-term disorders related to poor neurodevelopment. The objective was to determine whether adolescents born with ELBW have decreased postural control and stability adaptation. Twenty-nine

Previous studies in drylands have shown that while gender roles are becoming more flexible, privatization and formalization of land tenure tends to marginalize women in drylands while environmental degradation leads to differential changes in gender workload. Chepareria, a ward in West Pokot County, has undergone the above-mentioned tenure and environmental changes and is nowadays dominated by pri

Background: Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) increase survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Although international guidelines recommend the use of AED registries to increase AED use, little is known about implementation. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a national AED registry, to analy

As the case of the Deepwater Horizon reveals, the consequences of an oil spill or any other marine incident can be devastating. Although pollution from ships implies a much lesser scale, nevertheless there must be maximum efforts for preventing the possible risks and consequences of marine casualties. For centuries salvors have remained the ones who will provide the fastest response to a ship in

BACKGROUND: Obstructed labour is still a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in Uganda, where many women give birth at home alone or assisted by non-skilled birth attendants. Little is known of how the community view obstructed labour, and what actions they take in cases where this complication occurs. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to explore community members
