The purpose of the numerical study was to investigate the influence of three different natural gas compositions on the combustion behaviour of an Advanced Environmental Vortex (AEV) burner. The flow conditions apply to the AEV burners installed in the Siemens gas turbine SGT-800. Numerical simulations were carried out using the software Chemkin 4. Ignition temperatures, adiabatic flame temper
This essay is a discourse and a feminist theoretical analysis that focuses on the alternative discourse that we consider Feminist Initiative to be constitutive of. Our theoretical stance, with base in Laclau and Mouffes discourse theory, builds on the notion that reality is characterised by conflicts between different competing discursive formations and that the social is an endless struggle over

Problem: Ett nationellt vaccinationsregister där samtliga vaccinationer registreras finns inte i dagsläget. Ett sådant register är tekniskt möjligt men det saknas en specifik, rättslig reglering. Nu pågår en beslutsprocess där olika aktörer försöker påverka hur en sådan reglering bör se ut. Studiedesign: Kvalitativ, deskriptiv diskursanalys av sex dokument publicerade av aktörer med intressen i This is a qualitative, descriptive discourse analysis of the decisionmaking process preceding the regulation of a national immunisation record. Presently, no law in Sweden regulates such a record. The study aims to examine if a regulation is needed, what kind of regulation is needed and who should decide about the implementation of such a regulation. Niklas Luhmann’s theory of decision-making with
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Tiden mellan 33,9–5,3 miljoner år sedan är indelad i perioderna Oligocen och Miocen. Denna tid karaktäriseras av ett oscillerande klimat som var knutet till de primära så kallade Milankovitchcyklerna – excentricitet hos Jordens bana kring solen, jordaxelns lutning och dess precession – men magnituden hos oscillationerna var mycket varierande. Dinoflagellater äThe Oligocene and Miocene are characterized by a number of climate oscillations, following the primary Milankovitch cycles but varying in magnitude. Dinoflagellates are sensitive environmental indicators as well as biostratigraphic markers, but their use as the former has mainly been restricted to higher latitudes. This palynological study is made on samples belonging to the Oligocene-Miocene inte
Kärleken är en grundnorm inom kristendomen. För att som kristen kunna bygga en etik och värdegrund baserad på kärlek, måste kärleken diskuteras på ett teologiskt plan. Traditionellt sett har synen på kärleken inom kristendomen varit delad. Man har talat om mänsklig kärlek och Guds kärlek. Teorier kring skillnaden mellan dessa har legat som grund för många människors syn på kärleken ur en kristen a
