Time-dependent ensemble averages, i.e., trajectory-based averages of some observable, are of importance in many fields of science. A crucial objective when interpreting such data is to fit these averages (for instance, squared displacements) with a function and extract parameters (such as diffusion constants). A commonly overlooked challenge in such function fitting procedures is that fluctuations
Pollutant transport in the unsaturated soil zone is a potential threat to surface and ground water resources. The intensity and volume of rainfall are the parameters that decide how fast and deep the pollutants will be transported. Climate models predict a future rainfall climate with higher total volume and higher intensities. In the present study we try to assess effects on unsaturated solute tr
Contemporary ghost stories can be mediated through television series that familiarize viewers with the idea of supernatural/spiritual phenomena, and present a way of witnessing, experiencing and dealing with such phenomena. TheSwedish TV series Det Okända(The Unknown) is an example of such a production. A –presumably –spiritual phenomenon is tailored to fit a popular culture format and is served t
As in most cultural contexts and theoretical conceptualizations of peacebuilding, the fulfilment of justice and the sustainment of peace are intimately related in the Arab-Islamic frame of reference. In the Qur’an and Islamic philosophy, there is a direct correlation between establishing a just social order and the notion of peacebuilding (Abu-Nimer 2006). Guidelines are set forth for building a so
Aim: The aim of the study was to deepen the current knowledge of how patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and long-term oxygen treatment think about and expect end-of-life. Design: A qualitative design was used. Methods: A purposeful sample of 19 patients with oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was obtained from the Swedish National Registry on Respiratory Failur
Rektalcancer är en sjukdom där behandlingsresultaten förbättrats kraftigt de senaste decennierna. Behandling för ändtarmscancer sker med antingen endast kirurgi eller kirurgi i kombination med onkologisk neoadjuvant behandling. Kirurgisk radikalitet, mikroskopisk marginal mellan tumörvävnad och frisk vävnad, är av stor betydelse för att minska risken för lokalrecidiv och öka överlevnaden
The development of Swedish linguistics during the 20th century reflects international development. The century started with focus on language history described according to the theory of sound laws. It is reasonable to call the period around the turn of the century the Golden Age of Nordic philology; characterized by the work of Adolf Noreen; Axel Kock and Elof Hellquist who clarified the basic de
While “meaning negotiation” has become an ubiquitous term, its use is often confusing. A negotiation problem implies not only a convenience to agree, but also diverging interest on what to agree upon. It implies agreement but also the possibility of (voluntary) disagreement. In this chapter, we look at meaning negotiation as the process through which agents starting from different preferred concep
En teknik för att förhindra yterosion och samla ytavrinning är bygga jordvallar (1–1,5 m höga) parallellt medhöjdkurvorna. Denna teknik används över stora områden i Tunisien. I denna studie undersöks hur dessa jord-vallar påverkar ytjordens rumsliga variabilitet av markvattenhalt (θ) och salinitet, dels uttryckt som jordenstotala elektriska konduktivitet (σa) och dels som porvattnets elektriska koOne technique for collecting rainwater and prevent soil erosion applied on large areas in Tunisia involves theuse of soil ridges (1–1.5 m high). These contour ridges are constructed parallel to topographical isolines. Theeffects of the contour ridges on the soil water content (θ) distribution, bulk soil salinity σa, and soil water salin-ity (σw) were investigated in the catchment of El-Gouazine in
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe a review of the most frequently cited English articles of five models of collaborative professional development for mathematics teachers, aiming to describe the character of the development addressed and its quality issues. Design/methodology/approach: The most frequently cited articles were chosen for their impact on the scientific discourse; they
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a learning study with a complex object of learning – democracy. Design/methodology/approach – The study consists of four research lessons in four different classes in grade 6. In the study two teachers, 78 students and two researchers participated. In the first lesson (A) 21 students participated, in the second class (B) 17, in the third class (C)
To link geophysical field data to specific biological phenomena, controlled laboratory experiments are needed for the understanding of the response of geophysical parameters to changes in biological conditions. In this study, suspensions of bacteria were mixed with sand to create a biofilm growing on a surface and these mixtures were monitored using the geoelectrical spectral induced polarization
