Over the last decade, the interest in research on extraterrestrial planets has expanded dramatically. With the number of confirmed exoplanets having increased tenfold over the last ten years, we now know that many different types of exoplanets exist. Modern telescopes, both ground- and space-based, like the Very Large Telescope (VLT) or the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will drive forward the
The Criminal Code describes rape as an obvious involuntarily. It has been proven to be a problem in the Swedish judiciary to suggest that rape victims often receive degrading questions and a censure treatment. This study has focused on how the encounter between the police and rape victims is like. The purpose of it was to get a picture of how both police and victims are experiencing the encounter.
I svensk lagstiftning är en samförståndslösning något som eftersträvas och anses vara barnets bästa. På flera ställen i vår lagbok, bland annat i Föräldrabalken och i Socialtjänstlagen, finns regleringar vad domare och socialtjänstemän är skyldiga att göra för att underlätta en samförståndslösning. Även i Norge ses samförståndslösningar som något positivt. Förutom de frivilliga samtalen på socialkIn Sweden, legislation has opened up to focus on finding an amicable solution that is in the best interest of the child. The possibilities of cooperation discussions are found in both the ‘Parental Code’ and the ‘Social Security Act’. Also in Norway, amicable solution is seen as something positive. In addition to the voluntary conversation at the Social Services, Norway also have mandatory mediati
Denna uppsats baserar sig på en utredning av Försäkringskassan, som presenterades i maj 2005. Titeln var Utredning om könsneutralt och delat barnbidrag. Försäkringskassan hade fått i uppdrag av regeringen att utreda förutsättningarna för att göra lagstiftningen kring barnbidraget könsneutral och införa en möjlighet för föräldrarna att kunna dela bidraget mellan sig. Den nuvarande barnbidragslagsti
When developing a truck it is of critical importance that the brake system is reliable and effective. When testing new trucks or brake systems you need to collect as much data as possible. One important measurand when you evaluate a pneumatic brake system is the stroke of the actuator. This master’s thesis has two goals; one is to develop a device for measuring the stroke of a pneumatic actuator m
OBJECTIVE: To build mathematical models to evaluate the individual risk of endometrial malignancy in women with postmenopausal bleeding and sonographic endometrial thickness ≥ 4.5 mm using clinical data, sonographic endometrial thickness and power Doppler ultrasound findings. METHODS: Of 729 consecutive patients with postmenopausal bleeding, 261 with sonographic endometrial thickness ≥ 4.5 mm and
Since the early 1980s remarkable progress has been made in understanding the role of the HER2 locus in carcinogenesis, but many details of its regulatory network are still elusive. We recently reported the finding of 367 new human microRNA (miRNA) genes of which one, mir-4728, is encoded in an intron of the HER2 gene. Here, we confirm that the HER2 oncogene is a bi-functional locus encoding the me

This study is concerned with how the reading process reacts to detection of errors in discourse, and how this differs from cases where an error is missed or if no error is present. It sets out to investigate these questions using eye-tracking methodology. In order to determine the influence of detection of errors during the reading process, native English speakers were asked to read short news ite
This report contains an environmental investigation of the farming education at Svalöf’s upper secondary school in Svalöv. The work has followed the steps for an ISO 14001 certification. Two other certifications, EMAS and Grön Flagg, have also been analyzed to investigate which certification that would be most suited for this place. Information about the certification IP Sigill was also put togeth
Under år 2010 genomfördes en lagändring rörande den svenska bestämmelsen i BrB 4 kap. 1a § avseende människohandelsbrottet. Ändringen föranleddes av att problematik avseende bestämmelsens tillämpning och effektivitet hade uppmärksammats. Inom ramen för den utredning som tillsattes med anledning av detta identifierades fem problemområden avseende människohandelsbestämmelsens utformning; i) användan
Change Impact Analysis (CIA) during software evolution of safety-critical systems is a labor-intensive task. Several authors have proposed tool support for CIA, but very few tools were evaluated in industry. We present a case study on ImpRec, a recommendation System for Software Engineering (RSSE), tailored for CIA at a process automation company. ImpRec builds on assisted tracing, using informati
Land management for carbon storage is discussed as being indispensable for climate change mitigation because of its large potential to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and to avoid further emissions from deforestation. However, the acceptance and feasibility of land-based mitigation projects depends on potential side effects on other important ecosystem functions and their services. Here
BACKGROUND: The methylation of cytosines at CpG dinucleotides, which plays an important role in gene expression regulation, is one of the most studied epigenetic modifications. Thus far, the detection of DNA methylation has been determined mostly by experimental methods, which are not only prone to bench effects and artifacts but are also time-consuming, expensive, and cannot be easily scaled up t
The demand for energy in the world is increasing steadily. As the standard of living for people in the developing countries is increasing so is the net energy use per capita. The main contributor to the energy consumption is the use of fossil fuels, which is also the major emission source for carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is in turn one of the most significant greenhouse gases and will enhance te
This study examines temporal trends in deaths due to fire-related accidents in Sweden from 1952 to 2013 based on statistics in the Cause of Death register held by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. Fatalities coded with underlying cause of death associated with fire-related accidents are included and absolute numbers and age-adjusted mortality rates are calculated and statistically
Introduction: Few large studies have examined the heritability of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Moreover, twin studies have been suggested to overestimate heritability. The aim of the present study was to determine the heritability nationwide in the general Swedish population using full siblings and half-siblings. Methods: VTE was defined using the Swedish patient register. Full sibling (FS) and h
Embedded real-time systems must meet timing constraints while minimizing energy consumption. To this end, many energy optimizations are introduced for specific platforms or specific applications. These solutions are not portable, however, and when the application or the platform change, these solutions must be redesigned. Portable techniques are hard to develop due to the varying tradeoffs experie
Persuasion and manipulation have been central concerns of Critical Discourse Analysis since its beginnings (e.g. Hart 2014; Van Dijk 1996). Traditionally, the persuasive and manipulative potential of texts has been explored by means of interpretive analysis. However, the actual perlocutionary effects of the strategies identified through this process are rarely (if ever) evaluated empirically. This
