Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturbetesmarkerna minskade med 86,7% från 1927 till 1990. Denna minskning är alarmerande eftersom många idag hotade och sällsynta arter är beroende av dessa. En stor del av anledningen till detta är att staten ända in på 1980-talet i sin rådgivning danade för att dessa marker antingen skulle bearbetas med konstgödsel och ogräsbekämpning eller planteras med trädThe rural landscape of Sweden has changed rapidly during the 20:th century. Measurements from 1927 compared to those from 1990 show that the area of non managed pasture in Sweden has declined by 86.7 %. Since a lot of threatened and rare species are dependent of this kind of land, these figures are alarming. During the last 30-40 years non managed pasture has declined due to abandonment, tree plan
Abstract In this thesis I have discussed the ongoing international state-building mission in Kosovo in the context of the final status issue and examining the future prospects. The main question of this study has been in which direction the state-building process is moving Kosovo and whether it can be regarded as a success or a failure. This qualitative case study has employed the ?institutional
The aim of this study was twofolded; on one hand I have been studying how the social services and the women’s crisis center work to contribute to assaulted women’s need of support and protection, while on the other hand I have been analyzing how discursive categories from the group of women addicted to alcohol is being made by professionals. The reason for this purpose was that I would like to see
This study is an attempt to examine Martin Luther’s Christology in relation to postmodern Christology. It explores the Christology of Jan-Olav Henriksen in order to answer how his postmodern Christology can be compared to that of Luther, with emphasis on their views on the two natures of Christ in life and death on the cross. What are the similarities and differences between the two theologians’ C
The purpose and goals of this essay is to investigate and explain the Late Mesolithic site at Norrjevägen in Kämpinge from a technological perspective. The foundation of the essay is two private collections of surface finds, found and gathered by Leif Brost, who owns and run the Amber Museum in Kämpinge, and Paul Matsson, amateur archaeologist from Trelleborg. The collections consist of 5331 surfa
In the past decade the European Union has established itself as an actor in Civilian Crisis Management. This process has been accompanied by a set-up and development of various institutions and concepts that guide the work in this field. As well as in other areas of European foreign policy, in Civilian Crisis Management a gap between policy-making and outcome can be identified. Taking this as a st
The construction sector has been criticised in recent years for being inefficient. The critique involved describes finished buildings as having flaws and there being a lack of interest within the construction sector in assembling knowledge and sharing experience. The construction industry has started working with questions of how efficiency can be increased by reducing the errors made. Knowledge
Close international collaboration between pediatric oncologists has led to marked improvements in the cure of patients, seen as a long-term overall survival rate of about 80%. Despite this progress, neuroblastoma remains a challenging disease for both clinicians and researchers. Major clinical problems include lack of acceptable cure rates in high-risk neuroblastoma and potential overtreatment of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Atomspektra har varit ett viktigt forskningsområde inom fysiken sedan mitten av 1800-talet. Då elektromagnetisk strålning, såsom synligt ljus, ultraviolett- och röntgenstrålning, är unik för varje grundämne ger ett observerat spektrum information om vilka slags atomer som emitterar strålningen. Exempelvis så visar spektra av ett vanligt lysrör att ljuset kommer från kviThe spectra of highly charged tungsten ions have been investigated using x-ray and extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy. These heavy ions are of interest in relativistic atomic structure theory, where high-precision wavelength measurements benchmark theoretical approaches, and in magnetic fusion research, where the ions may serve to diagnose high-temperature plasmas. The work details spectroscopic in
This article aims to expand our understanding of projectification in Swedish municipalities. Above all the article explores to what extent processes of projectification can be identified and if so how they unfold. The article draws its inspiration from critical management studies and uses the notion of sensemaking to identify the practices of projectification processes. Three processes of projecti
Context: The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, vildagliptin, inhibits glucagon secretion at hyperglycemia but appears to enhance glucagon counterregulation during hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes.Objective:The objective of the investigation was to study whether vildagliptin also improves α-cell function in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Patients and Methods: The study was a single-center, double-blind, ra
Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur efterlevande makes arvsrätt och andra ekonomiska skyddsregler vid händelse av den ena makens död är uppbyggda. Syftet är även att ur ett genusperspektiv analysera denna lagstiftning för att på så sätt få en djupare förståelse för varför reglerna är konstruerade på detta specifika sätt. För att kunna diskutera genusaspektens påverkan på den svenska lagstiThe purpose of this paper is to study how the surviving spouse’s inheritance rights and other financial guarantees in case of death of the other spouse are constructed and from a gender perspective’s analyse this legislation in order to gain a deeper understanding of why the rules are designed in this specific way. In order to discuss the gender perspectives impact on the Swedish law it’s importan

The industry of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has grown rapidly during the last decade, with for example carbon nanotubes (CNTs) incorporated in high-tech composites and nanosized TiO2 in sunscreens and paint. With an increased potential of human exposure to these novel ENPs, especially during production and handling of nanoparticles, the concern of risks when people become exposed has increased
De förödande konsekvenserna för ekosystemen i samband med nedslaget av en asteroid för 65 miljoner år sedan, i det som idag är Yucatanhalvön, Mexiko, kan spåras i lagerföljderna över hela världen. En hög upplösningsundersökning över krita-paleogen gränsen har utförts i två marina sekvenser - Stevns Klint och Kjølby Gaard, Dammark. Sedimenten analyserades med palynofaciesanalys, MössbauerspektroskoThe devastation of ecosystems as a consequence of the Chicxulub meteorite impact 65 million years ago is clearly detectable in the geological record all over the globe. A high resolution investigation spanning the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary was carried out in two marine sections: Stevns Klint and Kjølby Gaard, Denmark. Palynofacies analyses, Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were emp
Assisterad befruktning har, vid sidan av internationella adoptioner, kommit att skapa möjligheter framför allt för de som lider av ofrivillig barnlöshet, att bilda familjer som inte är baserade på genetiska eller biologiska band. De olika metoderna för behandling av ofrivillig barnlöshet ger upphov till en rad etiska och juridiska frågor, bland annat om vilka metoder som ska tillåtas och vilka kraAssisted reproductive technology has, in addition to international adoptions, come to create opportunities, particularly for those who suffer from infertility, to form families that are not based on genetic or biological ties. The various methods of treating infertility raises a number of ethical and legal issues, including what methods are to be permitted and the requirements that must be met in
Sammanfattning I Europakonventionen artikel 8 skyddas rätten till privatliv. Varje person har rätt till skydd av personuppgifter som tillhör honom eller henne. Globalisering och teknologisk utveckling har anmärkningsvärt förändrat sättet på hur personuppgifter behandlas. En uppdaterad lagstiftning för personuppgiftsskydd behövs och EUs föreslagna förordning reflekterar tydligt utmaningarna för Summary The protection of personal data is a fundamental right in accordance with Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Every person has the right to the protection of information that concerns him or her. Globalisation and technological advancements have enormously transformed the way our personal data is collected.

In marine insurance causation is a fundamental principle. Causation defines if a loss falls under the insurance policy or if the loss is too remote to be considered under the insurance policy. In order to define the necessary causal connection different principles are used in different countries, or in relation to different perils. In England the proximate cause principle is used while the Nordic
The thesis idea originated from that the authors experienced that they would have liked to have more opportunities to apply their educational and personal skills before attending the business world. The authors found a way to accomplish this by the application of a multidiscipline case simulation. The purpose of this master’s thesis is to test an idea and the application of the same.
