The present study examines the discussions about alliance policy in the Swedish council of the realm 1680-1683. Taking issue with earlier research that has portrayed the Swedish foreign policy during this period in realist terms, the study instead uses the concepts of friendship, status and sovereignty to give context to the arguments used by the council when discussing alliance partners. Regardin

In this thesis, the Arctic sea ice volume and thickness evolution over the time period 1850-2100 is analysed. The analysed data is provided by the CMIP5 climate models, which contributed their output for the IPCC Fifth Assessment. The results were compared to the reanalysis data series PIOMAS. Three RCP projections, with different greenhouse gas emission scenarios, were used for the time period 20

BackgroundEmerging evidence suggests that prenatal or early-life exposures to environmental contaminants may contribute to an increased risk of asthma and allergies in children. We aimed to the explore associations of prenatal exposures to a large set of environmental chemical contaminants with asthma and eczema in school-age children. MethodsWe studied 1024 mother-child pairs from Greenland and U

Background: Public transport is low cost, allows for independence, and facilitates engagement and participation for non-drivers. However, the viewpoints of individuals with cognitive disabilities are rarely considered. In Australia, the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is approximately 1% and increasing. Many individuals with ASD do not possess a driver's licence, indicating that acce

Human activities in deciduous forests over the past centuries have influenced associated species. To reduce extinction risks and mitigate population declines, there is growing interest in forest conservation and restoration, including initiatives by the European Union (EU). For resulting restoration and conservation practices to succeed, it is essential to know which forest characteristics promote

Background: We investigated the impact of time to adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) on survival after surgical resection (<8 weeks or 8–16 weeks) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by applying a target-trial emulation. Material and Methods: We used Swedish population-based healthcare registries to emulate a hypothetical target trial, with treatment arms of ‘initiate AC <8 weeks postoper

Köphultasjön är en sjö som ligger inom Lagans dräneringsområde mellan Skånes Fagerhult och Markaryd. Köphultasjö och dess närområde har under årens lopp utsatts av olika typer av påverkan, både naturlig och antropogen. Detta examensarbete undersöker och analyserar orsaker till Köphultasjöns igenväxning. Vidare beskrivs processer, som antas påverka igenväxningen av Köphultasjö, med hjälp av en igenKöphultasjö is a lake situated within the drainage area of the river Lagan, between Skånes Fagerhult and Markaryd. Köphultasjö with its immediate surroundings has been exposed to antropogenic influences in addition to natural influences. This study investigates and analyses causes of overgrowing in the lake and describes processes that can affect overgrowing, which are presented in a overgrowing m

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Platåleror utgör ett markant inslag i det inre backlandskapet söder om Romeleåsen i Skåne. De är kvadratkilometer stora, cirkulära lerområden, med en svagt undulerande yta som täcker landskapets högsta kullformer. Runt platålerorna ligger oftast s k kantryggar som huvudsakligen består av grus och sand. I snart hundra år har bildningsmiljön för platålerorna och kPlateau-clays are significant features in the hummocky moraine area south of Romeleåsen ridge, Skåne, southern Sweden. The plateau clays are smoothly undulating circular areas of glaciolacustrine clay, which drape the highest hummocks in the landscape. Rim ridges often surround the plateau-clays. During the last hundred years the formation of these plateau clays has been studied and discussed. In

Today a dynamic analysis is often performed with the use of advanced finite element software. An advanced model normally produces precise results. Analyzing these large models of bridges is however time consuming and a detailed description of the geometry, supports and material properties must be known. In an early stage of a project a reduced model could significantly reduce the time needed to perf

Abstract The significance of terrestrially derived iron (Fe) for marine ecosystems and its implications on other biogeochemical cycles is well recognised. It has been recently highlighted that the concentration of Fe in several Swedish rivers has increased strongly over the last 40 years. Four rivers draining into the Baltic Sea were used in the present study in order to assess the aggregation pr

Our main purpose with this study is to examine and elucidate the recovery process that occurs when women choose to break up from destructive relationships. Our aim is also to clarify what, by the women themselves, is considered to be efficient help in relation to what in fact is offered in actuality. The idea of this selection was that we, in the study of the recovery process, would make a compili

Thesis Purpose: The aim of this study is to gain a nuanced understanding of consumers’ perceived authenticity of incumbent and challenger brands in the cosmetics industry. To examine the phenomenon, four brands from two different sectors within the cosmetics industry are investigated. While Maybelline New York and Fenty Beauty represent the make-up market, Gillette Venus and Estrid cover the razor

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att utreda om den utformning av kriminaliseringen av psykisk misshandel som föreslås i Ds 2022:18 angående straffansvar för psykiskt våld är förenlig med legalitetsprincipens krav. Den straffrättsliga legalitetsprincipen är en grundläggande princip i svensk rätt som innebär att straff inte kan utdömas utan direkt stöd i lag. Lagen måste även vara bestämd i sin utformThe purpose of the essay has been to investigate whether the design of the criminalization of psychological abuse proposed in Ds 2022:18 regarding criminal responsibility for psychological violence is compatible with the requirements of the principle of legality. The principle of legality in criminal law is a fundamental principle in Swedish law which means that punishment cannot be imposed withou

EU-domstolen har behandlat idrottens kommersiella inslag och dess särart i flera rättsfall. I Walrave-målet fastslog domstolen att idrott inte per automatik omfattas av unionsrätten, men att vissa idrottsliga intressen kan vara legitima syften inom unionsrätten. I Bosman-målet utvecklade dom-stolen teorin om idrottens särart och betonade dess sociala betydelse. I Meca-Medina-målet bekräftade domstThe Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has dealt with the commercial elements of sport and its unique nature in several legal cases. In the Walrave case, the Court ruled that sport is not automatically covered by EU law but that particular sporting interests can be legitimate purposes within EU law. In the Bosman case, the Court developed the theory of the unique nature of sport and emp

Purpose: Environmental sustainability in the wine industry has become increasingly important. Most countries have implemented programs to ensure sustainability. In South Africa, the majority of wine farms belong to the sustainability scheme. However, small and medium wine farms face challenges in adopting sustainability practices. Therefore, this research investigates the barriers faced by SME win

I dagens samhälle är en stor del av industrin beroende av kemiska reaktioner. Hastigheter för kemiska reaktioner kan påskyndas med hjälp av katalysatorer. Heterogena katalysatorer, alltså katalysatorer av fast karaktär, består av ett bärarmaterial på vilket det aktiva katalyserande ämnet är applicerat. På företaget Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB används pulver som katalysatorbärare till Heterogenous catalysts consist of a large surface area support material applied with the catalytic active phase, and the activity of a catalyst is often correlated to the surface area per volume. Support materials often need to be processed further to be optimal for specific processes. For example, powders can be suitable for minireactors or fluidized-bed reactors. However, in a fixed-bed reactor,

Uppsatsen ägnar sig åt att undersöka de rättsliga möjligheterna för barnmorskor att utöva samvetsfrihet i samband med abortingrepp. I motsats till många europeiska länder saknar Sverige en lagstiftning som reglerar samvetsklausuler inom abortvården. För att undersöka barnmorskors rättsliga stöd för samvetsfrihet i yrkeslivet granskas relevanta rättskällor såsom regeringsformen, diskrimineringslageThe thesis examines the legal possibilities for midwives to exercise conscientious objection in relation to abortion procedures. Unlike many European countries, Sweden lacks legislation regulating conscientious clauses in abortion care. To explore the legal support for midwives' conscientious objection in their professional life, relevant legal sources such as the Constitution, Discrimination
