Eoliska sanddyner är en sällan undersökt resurs ur ett paleoklimatperspektiv. Genom att undersöka dynernas geomorfologi och strukturer kan de klassificeras som olika dyntyper. Eoliska sanddyner kräver speciella omständigheter och förutsättningar för att bildas och agerar värdefulla klimatarkiv för de tidperioder då de avsatts. Dessa klimatarkiv kan berätta om den lokala miljön gällande bland annatAeolian sand dunes is a seldom studied resource from the perspective of paleoclimates. By analysing the dunes geomorphology and structures they can be classified into different type of dunes. Aeolian dunes require special circumstances and conditions to be met to enable their deposition. The sand dunes can then act as precious climate archives for the time periods during which they were formed. Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att studera den vanligaste behandlingskomplikationen vid blödarsjuka, antikroppsbildning, samt att studera sambandet mellan genen som orsakar sjukdom och det protein som denna gen kodar för. Det övergripande syftet är att forskningsresultaten ska kunna användas för att förbättra vården för familjer med blödarsjuka (hemofili). Resultaten vThe general objective of the research underlying this dissertation was to conduct clinical and basic scientific studies to further elucidate the hemophilia and the coagulation process, with the goal of improving the care of families with these disorders. More specific aims were to evaluate epidemiological, genetic, clinical, and biochemical aspects of the development of inhibitors (antibodies) aga

Spring phenophases such as the beginning of leaf unfolding, measured in the Irish gardens of the International Phenological Garden (IPG) network, indicate an earlier spring occurrence hence a longer growing season. However, these measurements are limited to selected species of trees at a few point locations in the southern half of the country. The aim of this study was to develop a methodology, ba

Detailed understanding of biological systems governing specific mechanisms and pathways is essential in the development of novel disease therapies. Stimulus-secretion coupling in hormone secreting cells is a complex system of pathways that link activation of cellular processes by i.e. nutrients to the release of hormone. Stimulus-secretion coupling in the insulin secreting beta-cell is intensely r

The increasing size of the population results in that unbuilt spaces needing to be used for the construction of new facilities. Large construction sites can generate disturbing vibrations to nearby buildings, both while construction is underway and afterwards through the operation of subways, for example. The establishment of new areas close to, for example, motorways and railways increases the ri

Det här examensarbetet behandlar den akustiska utformningen av simhallar. Fokus ligger på de lösningar som påverkar akustiken, så som väggar, absorbenter och utformningen. Grunden till arbetet är baserat på befintlig litteratur och ny information framtaget för arbetet. Simhallar är en svår akustisk lokal där många hårda ytor och stora volymer försvårar. Detta ger en ljudmiljö med hög ljudnivå ochThe Master thesis considers acoustic design of swimming halls. Focus is put into design solutions affecting the acoustic environment such as walls, absorbents and shape. The basis is gained from literature studies and new information achieved specific for the thesis. Swimming halls are built in a certain way that makes a good acoustic environment hard to achieve. The construction consists of hard

I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed. Forced Labor is a hidden phenomenon, therefore there is reason to assume that these cases only show the tip of the iceberg. Forced labor

Alla naturligt förekommande grundämnen, med få undantag, har skapats i stjärnors inre. Några av dem har skapats långsamt och kontinuerligt och stora mängder har ansamlats under årmiljonerna. Andra har skapats under några få sekunder i några av de mest våldsamma explosionerna i universum, nämligen de s.k. supernovorna. Genom att studera dessa processers avtryck, kan vi fördjupa vår kunskap om, t.exSulphur is one of the more interesting chemical elements from a scientific perspective. As a volatile element, sulphur could potentially be used as a tracer of galactic properties, such as star-formation rate and initial mass function, in both the Milky Way and beyond. But first its origin and production has to be understood. Knowledge of Galactic chemical evolution of sulphur is therefore vital.

Enhancing stability of YAC in S. cerevisiae The aim of the study was to develop S. cerevisiae strain that can maintain yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) for prolonged period. The enzymes for taxadiene biosynthesis were cloned on YAC and introduced into engineered strain. Ultimately heterologous pathway was superimposed on native ergosterol pathway. The strain development was achieved by target

Introduction Economic evaluations are used in health care to help decision-makers allocate their resources. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of mechanical chest compressions compared to manual chest compressions. This is done in a Swedish setting and for out- of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) using results from a large randomized controlled trial, the LINC study.

How audiences engage with news has not always gotten a lot of attention in academic and industry research; and, even then, it is often studied in terms of exposure and interaction. This does not fully capture the dynamism and multidimensionality of this phenomenon; and industry attempts to apply market principles to engagement risks depoliticizing and reducing it to economic values. Rather than po

Title: Development of a Forecasting Model for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Components. A Design Science Study at Tetra Pak. Authors: Faruk Kodzaga & Giacomo Daniele Supervisor: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics Background: The importance of accurate demand forecast is set due to the drivers of short lead-times, just-in-time-deliveries and cost effective

Det har i doktrin hävdats att underrätters rättstillämpning i mål rörande beskattning av oredovisade intäkter inte uppfyller de krav på rättssäkerhet som ställs i skatteprocessen. I denna uppsats utreds huruvida så är fallet. De frågeställningar som uppsatsen bygger på är vilka krav som ställs på rättssäkerhet i skatteprocessen, hur beskattning av oredovisade intäkter sker, vilken bevisbörda och vIt has been claimed in literature that the application of the rules about taxation of unreported income by Swedish administrative courts is insufficient from a legal certainty perspective. This essay considers whether this is the case. The essay is centered around the following questions: What are the requirements regarding legal certainty in the tax procedure? How is unreported income taxed? Who

Vi befinner oss i en tid där väl utformad design utgör en eftertraktad konkurrensfördel vid reklam- och saluförandet av produkter. Det blir därför allt viktigare för formgivare och företag att kunna skydda sina immaterialrättsliga prestationer för att kunna kapitalisera på dem. Inom ramen för de immaterialrättsliga regelverken finns det möjligheter till skydd för en designprodukts utseende inom upWe are currently at a day and age when well-designed products represents a sought after competitive advantage in the advertising and sales of goods. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for designers and companies to be able to protect their intellectual property rights and capitalize on them. Within the framework of intellectual property rights, it is possible to achieve protection of

Under senare år har uppmärksammats ett ökande intresse för regleringen gällande mervärdesskattegrupper i artikel 11 rådets direktiv 2006/112/EG. Möjligheten att ingå i en mervärdesskattegrupp är särskilt betydelsefull inom viss finansiell sektor, undantagen från skatteplikt. Samtidigt kan emellertid konstateras en betydande diskrepans vad gäller implementering och tolkning av artikelbestämmelsen, In recent years, Member States have shown an increasing interest in using the option of VAT grouping provided in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC. The possibility of joining a VAT group is particularly useful for entities performing VAT exempt activities, such as companies in the financial sector. At the same time, there is a wide discrepancy in terms of implementation and interpretatio

Skyldigheten för en avtalspart att meddela motparten om eventuellt miss-nöje med avtalsrelationen eller den levererade prestationen har länge varit en del av den svenska rätten. Skyldigheten förstås i dag som ett utlopp av par-ternas lojalitetsplikt och stadgar en allmän avtalsrättslig reklamationsplikt. Den allmänna reklamationsplikten har de senaste åren återkommande prö-vats av HD. Genom HD:s pThe obligation for a contracting party to notify the counterparty of any dissatisfaction with the contractual relationship or the counterparty’s performance has for long been a part of Swedish law. The obligation is an expression of the parties’ duty of loyalty and establishes a general contractual obligation to give notice. An obligation that has been the focus of several of the Swedish Supreme C

Nowadays, people spend 90% of their time indoors, thus creating a healthy indoor environment for occupants is of great importance. Lighting in office spaces is an important aspect when it comes to occupant health and well-being. Research in the field of lighting has mostly been focusing on the visible light spectrum and image-forming (IF) processes. However, with the discovery of melanopsin contai

I Sverige har förvaltningsbeslut överprövats sedan medeltiden. Överprövning har i regel genomförts av myndighet även om vissa frågor prövats i domstol. I slutet av 1900-talet fick europarätten, i form av Europakonventionen och EU-rätten, allt större inflytande på svensk rätt. Till skillnad från den svenska traditionen för förvaltningsrättsligt överklagande fäster europarätten stor vikt vid domstolIn Sweden, administrative decisions have been reviewed since the Middle Ages. As a rule, review has been carried out by different authorities, although some issues have been tried in the courts. At the end of the 20th century, the European Convention on Human Rights and EU law became increasingly in- fluential in Swedish law. Unlike the Swedish tradition of administrative ap- peal, both the Europe

Many construction projects, entail excavations into water-bearing soils. As a consequence of this a groundwater lowering must be made which can cause major environmental impacts, such as drainage of adjacent rivers or wetlands or subsidence of adjacent buildings. The groundwater that flows into the excavation is also of importance since it determines the volume of water that has to be pumped away

Interactions between T-cells and other body cells is an essential part of the immune system. It involves the binding between surface receptors of the two cells. Specifically, T-cell receptors (TCRs) bind onto pMHC (peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex) molecules on the partnering cell surface. This way, a cell signal from the TCR to the nucleus can be initiated. Depending on the "m
