The content of this thesis consists of two parts. For the first part, size and crystallographic orientational influence on the elastic properties of bcc nanowires and films have been studied through static molecular simulations. In order to explicitly account for surface effects, the concept of surface free energy has been employed. Comparisons between continuum mechanical calculations and results
Popular Abstract in Swedish Växters artdiversitet i naturbetesmarker.Effekter av landskapsstruktur och habitathistoria. I min avhandling har jag undersökt växters artdiversitet i fragmenterade naturbetesmarker, av olika ålder och med olika historisk markanvändning. Jag har även undersökt betydelsen av habitatens isolerinsgrad i dagens och i det förflutna landskapet för dagens artdiversitet med häThe thesis examines the impact of present and past landscape structure, habitat history and management on different aspects of present-day plant species diversity in fragmented semi-natural grasslands in Sweden and in Estonia. Species diversity was significantly associated with present and/or past grassland connectivity in the majority of the studies in the thesis. However, relationships between d
Water security offers to the local population an adequate quality and quantity of water for health, economy, livelihoods and ecosystems. Hence, achieving basic levels of water security should be a priority in areas where access to fresh water is scarce. The Punata alluvial fan (Bolivia) is a semiarid zone and an important agricultural zone, where the main source of water is groundwater. Therefore,
Non-bee pollinators (NBP) are a group of species with very diverse ecology. Indeed, they inhabitvarious habitats, using these as nesting sites, for shelter, as source of food and as huntingground for prey. Depending on the life stage of species, NBPs can inhabit different areas andtheir overall contribution to pollination can be diverse. For example, adult butterflies mainlyforage on nectar, where

Den här uppsatsen behandlar trovärdighetsbedömningar och genuinitetsprövningar i asylprocessen. 1951 års konvention angående flyktingars rättsliga ställning med 1967 års tilläggsprotokoll (flyktingkonventionen) utgör grunden för den internationella flyktingrätten. För att en sökande ska anses vara flykting i konventionens mening krävs inte att han eller hon är trovärdig. Det är däremot sällan som This essay talks about credibility assessments in the asylum procedure and specifically claims based on religion and sexual orientation. The 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees constitutes the cornerstone of the international legal regime for the protection of refugees. An applicant does not need to be credible to obtain refugee status. Often, however, an applicant
Aquaculture is the culture of plants, algae or animals that live in aquatic systems. It started being developed in the 50s and it has increased enormously since then. Aquaculture has the potential of mitigating some worldwide problems such as the global hunger and the fishing pressure. However, aquaculture is not perfect and it has several impacts over the environment. In order to assess all of th
Genetically modified maize, can it be trusted? In a world with a constantly growing population there is a need to find a way to cultivate enough food for everyone and one of the things that might help with that is genetically modified crops. Genetic modification means that a trait has been given to a plant that it does not normally have. These traits can be resistance to a pest, disease or an her
Lagrådet har en central roll i lagstiftningsprocessen. Granskningsinstansen utgör en viktig funktion i att bistå regering och riksdag med värdefulla juridisk tekniska kunskaper, så att god lagstiftning av hög kvalitet kan skapas. För att lagstiftningen ska anses som god bör den fullgöra sina övergripande funktioner, vilka kan sammanfattas som tillförsäkrande av en grundläggande trygghet i samhälle
Djurrätt är ett växande ämne som engagerar många. Denna uppsats handlar om djurrätt och specifikt om djurvälfärd i den svenska djurskyddslagen. Den 1 april nästa år träder en ny, historisk, djurskyddslag i kraft. Den nya djurskyddslagen är historisk eftersom lagstiftaren för första gången uttryckligen erkänner att djur har ett egenvärde samt understryker att god djurvälfärd är av relevans. UppsatAnimal rights law is a growing academic field that engages many people all over the world. This thesis deals with animal rights law and specifically with the Swedish legislation on the field. On the 1st of April 2019, a historic animal protection law will enter into force. The new animal protection law is historic since the legislator, for the very first time, specifically states that animals do
Huvudregeln för bestämmandet av hyran i svensk rätt är att hyran ska vara till beloppet bestämd av parterna i avtalet. Bestämmelsen återfinns i 12 kap. 19 § Jordabalken (1970:994). Som undantag till detta kan hyran för lokal antingen bestämmas genom en omsättningsklausul, genom klausuler för el, värme och vatten eller genom annan beräkningsgrund. Vid avtal som strider mot paragrafen framgår enligtThe main rule for determining the rent in Swedish rental law is that the rent shall be for the amount determined. The provision is found in the 12 chapter 19 § Jordabalken (1970: 994). As exceptions, the rent for a local can either be determined by a turnover clause, by electricity, heat and water clauses or by other calculation basis. In the event of an agreement that goes against the paragraph,
I uppsatsen undersöker och analyserar jag sakens avgränsning i inkomstskattemål med användning av rättspraxis, doktrin och förarbeten. Begreppet ”saken” definieras inte särskilt i lagstiftningen. Det överklagade beslutet samt klagandens yrkanden och de omständigheter som åberopas till stöd för yrkandet anger emellertid, enligt förarbetena, processens ram. Min slutsats är att avgränsningskriterieThis essay is based on an analysis of case-law, legal literature and legislative history and its purpose is to examine the subject matter in income tax cases. The term ”subject matter” in income tax cases isn’t defined by law. However, legislative history states that the contested decision together with the appellant’s claims and the circumstances invoked by the appellant delimit the subject matte
Allergic rhinitis is a common disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Biocare Copenhagen A/S, a Danish biotechnology company decided to screen a number of probiotic lysates, with the aim to identify suitable strains with potential anti-allergic properties, that could regulate production of cytokines and divert the immune system in a regulatory or tolerant mode. People suffering from aller
I Sverige, liksom i många andra delar av Europa, finns en romantiserande bild av ungdomsgäng. Genom medias rapporteringar får vi ibland ta del av olika berättelser om ungdomar som sysslar med brott och ställer till med trubbel ute i förorterna. Dessutom har vi alla någon gång sett amerikanska filmer som både glamouriserar gänglivet och framställer det ur ett mycket dystert ljus. Ungdomar i gäng In Sweden, as in many other parts of Europe, we have a romanticized notion of youth gangs. Through media reports, we sometimes come to hear different stories of youths who engage in criminal activity and cause trouble out in the suburbs. Moreover, we have all seen American movies that glamourize gang life as well as present it from a very gloomy light. Youths who are involved in gangs evoke a ce
Formell jämlikhet innebär en garanti för likabehandling och går ut på att lagstiftningen till sin utformning inte får särbehandla en viss grupp. Detta innebär att rättsregler ska vara generellt utformade och garantera likabehandling för alla inblandade parter. Kvinnor och män är emellertid på många samhällsområden ojämlika parter. Detta beror delvis på genusstrukturer som i vissa sammanhang lyfterFormal equality implies a guarantee for equal treatment and involves legislation that cannot be discriminatory against a certain group. This means that legislative rules have to be general and guarantee equal treatment for all involved parties. Women and men are not equal parties in all areas of society, however. This is partly due to gender structures that in certain situations view male qualitie
Increasing heavy traffic on the roads raises demands on pavements and especially the binder of the pavements. The rutting and other deformations resistances are constantly improved. As a part of the development wax mixes and polymer modified variants are produced. These products are not anymore possible to classify with traditional test methods, requiring new measurement technique and new criteria
Popular science summary: Cancer is genetic disease arising due to mutations in our genome. Gene fusions are one type of mutation that has a strong impact on tumor development. They are often characteristic for specific tumor types and can therefore be used a diagnostic tool. The identification of new gene fusions have, in the recent years, been highly successful using a newly developed technique
Att Detektera en Neutrino I dagens Universum är allting vi kan se; alla varelser, alla planeter och alla stjärnor, uppbyggda av materia. Trots detta tror man att det i Big Bang skapades lika mycket antimateria som materia, men att all denna antimateria på något sätt har försvunnit. Ett steg på vägen att förklara detta kan vara att undersöka vissa skillnader mellan neutriner och antineutriner, vilAbstract Today, the neutrino oscillation is very well established by experiment. It is described by a theoretical framework similar to that of quark mixing. Here is included a CP violating phase, delta_CP, which is the only known possible source of CP violation in the lepton sector. So far, delta_CP is completely unconstrained by experiment, and the determination of the value of delta_CP could fu
Att ta reda på hur och varför reaktioner sker molekyler emellan är ingen lätt uppgift. Ingen kamera är tillräckligt liten eller känslig (än) för att filma det som händer på molekylnivå. Istället behöver forskare genomföra experiment och samla stora mängder data för att få en bild av hur en reaktion går till, den så kallade reaktionsmekanismen. Att ta reda på reaktionsmekansimer ökar förståelsen föN-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is the most common form of sialic acid, a nine-carbon sugar often situated at the ends of glycoconjugates. Its unique reactivity makes it a complex substrate to work on, but new methods are continuously developed. In 2007, Ye et.al. reported a regioselective substitution by morpholine on position 4 of fully acetylated Neu5Ac, with retained stereochemistry. The anom
The problem studied in this thesis is the impact of the principle of mutual trust on the possibility of EU nationals to claim asylum and avoiding extradition for political offences within the EU. The principle of mutual trust presumes that human rights are not violated in any EU Member State. The difficulty arises if and when human rights are actually violated. It is not clear to what extent funda
