Liksom en trädstam uppvisar årsringar som kan användas för att beräkna dess ålder, bildas också tillväxtringar i tänderna hos många djur, även hos dem som regelbundet byter tanduppsättning. Detta fenomen noterades av paleontologen Richard Owen redan i mitten av 1800-talet, men det är först de senaste decennierna som forskningen inom tandersättningscykler hos utdöda djur har tagit fart. Så kalladeThe dentine of teeth from five genera of mosasaurs [i.e., Clidastes, Halisaurus, Dollosaurus (Prognathodon),cf. Platecarpus, and Tylosaurus] and a Mesozoic crocodylian (Aigialosuchus) from the Campanian of the Kristianstad Basin, southernmost Sweden, displays two types of incremental growth lines; i.e., von Ebner’s and, for the first time in extinct animals, Andresen’s lines. These lines are homol

Popular summary The environmental and social consequences of predicted climate change are expected to be amplified in urban environments due to their elevated temperatures, which are attributable to a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island. As most types of vegetation can provide for cooler air temperatures due to their natural cooling effect, increasing amounts of vegetation in urban areas mig

Large quantities and numbers of organic compounds (OCs) from industries and domestic sources enter the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) everyday, which is an ever-increasing issue in modern society. In WWTPs, the pollutants are either degraded or emitted to the air, the effluent (water) or the sludge (biosolids). Even though the sludge may contain toxic contaminants and heavy metals, there is a

Restored salt marsh; topography, hydrology and vegetation Coastal salt marshes are shaped through a combination of physical (i.e., sediment accumulation/erosion) and biological (i.e., vegetation) processes. They are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation. The accretion rate and elevation change has been indicated as one of the most important factors in ecology of the marshes. T

Reklam har olika budskap för att påverka och influera oss. Denna uppsats syftar till kvalitativt undersöka hur samhällsideal och normer konstrueras i sex specifika Calvin Klein parfym reklamfilmer. Vidare syftar studien till att studera hur reklamfilmerna använder sig av genusrelaterade konstruktioner och stereotypa bilder. Den här uppsatsen har schematiskt tittat på ett bestämt antal aspekter i a

This thesis reports the results from a pollen analytical and quantitative landscape reconstruction (REVEALS model) study in the drainage area of the Botorpsströmmen River in southern Sweden as a part of the project The archaeology and ecology of collapse: social and agricultural change following the Black Death and the project Managing Multiple Stressors in the Baltic Sea. The focus of this study

The rise of China and 1978-market reforms contrasts other post-socialist economies process of institutional and economic change. President Deng Xiaoping announced China’s continued commitment to socialism, yet his leadership is by some viewed to be the most radical social and economic transformation in contemporary Chinese history. One of the most extraordinary aspects of the Chinese reform period

The occurrence of climate change will have a significant impact on society and adapting to a more sustainable environment is of key importance. The dangers of climate change will include temperature and precipitation patterns becoming more extreme creating a substantial impact on society. Greece’s location and climate make it particularly vulnerable to a changing climate and climate impact assessm

This study aims to examine how the sensitivity for macroeconomic announcements surprises changes for the exchange rate in terms of a crisis. Previous research has been biased for U.S announcements and their relation towards emerging market, which has shown that U.S announcements affect more than the domestic. It also suggests that business cycle and uncertainty affect and increase the reaction for

Statsansvaret för folkmord har en jus cogens status i internationell sedvanerätt och utgår från den generella hänförbarhetsregeln: huruvida de inom staten aktiva personer eller grupper är verksamma, eller åtminstone kan anses vara verksamma å statens vägnar är avgörande för att staten kan hållas ansvarig. För att icke-statliga aktörer kan vara hänförliga till staten måste förhållandet dem emellan State responsibility for commission of genocide has a jus cogens status in customary international law and is based on the general rule of attribution: whether the persons or groups acting within the State are acting, or at least can be treated as acting on behalf of the State is key for State responsibility to arise. For non-state actors to be attributable to the State the relationship between th

This study explores the Chinese computational propaganda exploitation during the Covid-19 crisis. By demonstrating the intricacies of this case of computational propaganda utilization, this research attempts to answer an even larger question: How do authoritarian countries incorporate computational propaganda to their soft power strategies. To that end, first; a theoretical bridge was formed betwe

Coastal floodplains are at risk for combined high discharge and sea level events. Consequences when they occur can be several magnitudes greater than the impact from any isolated event. In this thesis the compounding of different river and coastal flood combinations at three case study sites were studied through the use of 1D/2D-hydraulic modelling software LISFLOOD- FP. The areas were; Henån, Äng

While carbon emissions hit an all-time high in 2019 and are expected to grow, it is important to explore strategies for reducing emissions and mitigating climate change. A potential focus for curbing emissions is the flying sector, since air travel is one of the most carbon-intensive activities an individual can engage in. Among air travelers, frequent flyers yield the highest potential for saving

Long time series of satellite remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator of vegetation greenness can be used in a broad range of research topics such as climate change, vegetation dynamics and desertification monitoring. The first phase of this study tests a practical method using Hyperion imagery onboard on Earth Observing-1 (EO1) spacecraft for simulation of MO

The aim of this Masters Thesis was to investigate whether social capital is translated into performance by the Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to reach collective goals for the development of the community in rural Bangladesh. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in this study. This research was carried out in eight villages of Bangladesh and two hundred households were surveye

Abstract The integration of Muslim immigrants into the European societal sphere has have recently received the utmost concern of Europeans. This is because Muslim status has changed from ?immigrant? to ?threat? or ?challenge? to peace and prosperity of Europe in the aftermath of 9/11 attacks. Muslim exclusion from social life is now a problem necessitating an urgent solution. At this point, this

The main purpose of the Thesis work is to conduct an assessment of both the way companies currently account for their waste costs, and of the potential relevancy of engaging in a more comprehensive cost accounting for waste in terms of achieving industrial waste minimisation and cost optimisation. In order to do so, literature about environmental and cost accounting was reviewed, an empirical stud

If as Hersch Lauterpact stated in the most overly quoted Humanitarian Lawyers phrase in Oppenheim's International Law, International Humanitarian Law lies at the vanishing point of International Law, then I would posit that it is only the continuance of education particularly education in LOAC that prevents it from vanishing altogether. The preservation of the buildings housing that education
