Erosional outliers are an important component of the Ludlow (Late Silurian) stratigraphy of Gotland, Sweden. However, due to the poor degree of exposure, outcrop studies have not revealed a detailed section from any of these outliers. The first complete stratigraphy of such an erosional remnant. the Burgen outlier, is presented here, based on the recently recovered Burgen-1 drillcore. Stratigraphi
In this study, we investigated the interaction of fengycin, a lipopeptide produced by Bacillus subtilis, with lipid monolayers using the Langmuir trough technique in combination with Brewster angle rnicroscopy. Thermodynamic analyses were performed to get further information about the mixing behavior and the molecular interactions between the two components. The effect of fengycin on the structura
The thesis is written within the project Strengthening Legal Education in Vietnam.
Objective: To examine reliability and validity of the Swedish version of the Self-Efficacy for Rehabilitation (SER) outcome scale. Methods: One-hundred and ninety-eight inpatients (mean age 69 years) who underwent a primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to knee osteoarthritis participated. They responded pre- and postoperatively to the SER outcome scale, and preoperatively to the Hospital Anxi
Background: As survival of children with CHD needing surgery has improved significantly, the need for follow-up in terms of health-related quality of life has become increasingly important. In this study, we sought to describe health-related quality of life in children with CHD in relation to cardiac surgery. Methods: A retrospective Swedish National Registry for Congenital Heart Disease survey me
As the Union Customs Code will replace the Community Customs Code with effect from 1 May 2016, the thesis focuses on the new treatment of royalty payments for customs purposes and its legal consequences. In a first step, a comparison between the Community Customs Code and the Union Customs Code reveals that importers will have to face a significant increase in the customs liability of royalty pa
In order to systematize and rationalize the quality control process for FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) input data a software application for this specific purpose has been developed. In order to study the occurrence of user related errors in FDS input data and the possibility of reducing such errors by using the developed application, a case study on archived FDS input data from actual building pro
In 2013, the EU established a Common European Asylum System in order to harmonize the asylum laws throughout Europe. One of the directives in this common system is a revised version of the Reception Conditions Directive from 2003, establishing rules for housing, clothing and food for the asylum applicants. The directive from 2003 should be in place in all Member States of the EU and on the 21st of
Längs Kaledonidernas östra erosionsfront finns den världskända bly- och zinkfyndigheten vid Laisvall (totalt 64 miljoner ton bruten malm) och mineraliseringen vid Granberget samt flertalet mindre malmkroppar av impregnationstyp bestående av blyglans och zinkblände som kristalliserat i klastiska bergarter. I äldre litteratur har mineraliseringsprocesserna och tidsspannet för mineralisationen diskutThe eastern Caledonian erosional front hosts the world-class Pb-Zn deposit at Laisvall (64 Mt mined) and Granberget mineralization, northern Sweden, along with several other smaller, related types of deposits consisting of impregnation mineralization of galena and sphalerite in clastic host rocks. Previous work have discussed the nature of the ore-forming processes and constraints for the timing o
With the emergence of the digital spaces, modern society has been witnessing the transformation of the public sphere, which is mostly altered by the new means of communication. Simultaneously, civic discussions that are taking place within the public sphere, are inevitably going through the same transformation and are now more and more often found in the digital spaces. This thesis is taking on th
Women in developing countries have been and are still suffering from various disadvantages on the labor market. We use a fixed effects model with a hierarchical structure to assess the empirical relationship between economic integration, measured by trade, exports and imports, and the female labor force participation rate (FLFPR). The relationship between economic integration and the female employ
The Kyoto protocol was the first tangible approach to prevent increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In order to attain this objective, the parties of the protocol decided to put restrictions on anthropogenic emissions caused by production in developed countries. This territorially defined production-based method of measuring might have been a misguided path though. Researchers
Climate change represents one of the most serious threats to international environmental, social and economic security. The growing energy consumption is producing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are fastening climate change and polluting the environment. For this reason, the European Union (EU) desires to act as a global leader in combating climate change and is therefor
Human trafficking consists of a sequence of smaller events taking place over a large span of time and perhaps even over multiple borders. Perpetrators of the crime take people away from their homes and their origins, either through coercion or threat of force, and instead place them in frightful environments where their survival and human dignity is constantly at risk. Legal measures to fight huma
Pålning är en typ av grundläggning lämplig för att grundlägga broar vid svaga markförhållanden. Att manuellt utforma en pålgrupp är en iterativ, tidskrävande process där snittkrafterna i pålarna måste verifieras för ett stort antal lastfall. Efter installationen kan pålarna dessutom ha nya positioner och kapaciteten måste verifieras igen. I detta projekt utvecklades en mjukvara för att automatiserFor bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. In addition, after installation, piles may have new positions and the capacity must be re-verified. In this thesis, a software was developed
Abstract The world has seen three industrial revolutions and now it embraces the fourth. The fourth industrial revolution, (globalisation 4.0) or as this study uses industry 4.0, follows onto the third industrial revolution by connecting digital, material and living spheres. The narrative of Africa rising, and the related expansion of mobile phone motivated the thesis interest. As past development
Utmaningar kring samarbete och effektivt utnyttjande av den tvärprofessionella kompetensen har observerats i svenska elevhälsoteam. En kommun har adresserat dessa svårigheter genom att implementera ett gemensamt ramverk, Systematiskt Tillsammans för Lärande (STfL). Syftet med föreliggande studie var att utforska hur ett sådant gemensamt ramverk upplevs av elevhälsoteamens olika professioner vad gäCollaboration and efficient use of multidisciplinary competence has been observed to be difficult in student health teams (SHT) in Sweden. One municipality has addressed these issues by implementing a common framework, Systematically Together for Learning (STfL). The aim of this study was to explore how this framework was experienced by the student health service professionals in relation to imple
