Abstract Objective: The small intestinal epithelium is a highly complex system continuously renewed by a process involving cell proliferation and differentiation. In mammals, the physiological function of intestine is not fully mature at birth, and many factors could accelerate gut maturation. In the current study we hypothesized that the pancreatic enzymes could be one of such factors. In the sa

Vad är civilprocessens funktion och är det möjligt att observera en pågående förskjutning av densamma? I den svenska funktionsdebatten förekommer olika uppfattningar rörande vad civilprocessens funktion är. Uppfattningar som är präglade av rättspolitiska värderingar. Examensarbetet visar att funktionsresonemangen trots den angivna omständigheten tjänar väl när man ska värdera effekterna av olikaWhat is the function of civil procedure and is it possible to observe an ongoing shift of the same? In the legal debate the answers to the former question are often influenced by political values. Nevertheless, this paper shows that discussing this question is important to evaluate different legal methods, particularly in the area of procedure law. This paper also shows that one of the suggest

Låt inte åkern få för djupa sår, – annars vi i framtiden inga grödor får! Om det inte vore för växterna skulle vi inte kunna leva en enda sekund på vår jord. För varje andetag förlitar vi oss på att växterna producerar tillräckligt med syre till atmosfären och åkerns grödor ger oss mat på bordet. Det här är exempel på så kallade ekosystemtjänster, vilket är ett resultat av fungerande ekosystem, dAbstract The four weedy species Capsella bursa-pastoris, Elytrigia repens, Rumex longifolius and Tripleurospermum perforatum were grown for 4 weeks in a greenhouse experiment in intact soil cubes, excavated from 15 conventional agriculture fields with different land use intensity, situated in the agricultural area of South West Scania, Sweden. Soilbiodiversity provides ecosystem services and is

Sammanfattning Uppsåtets nedre gräns mot medveten oaktsamhet utgjordes tidigare huvudsakligen av det eventuella uppsåtet med hypotetiskt prov. Att det hypotetiska eventuella uppsåtet skulle utgöra uppsåtslärans nedre gräns i svensk rätt fastslogs genom NJA 1959 s. 63 ”Råbypojkarna”. Trots 1959 års avgörande gjordes genom senare rättspraxis ett antal försök att omformulera uppsåtets nedre gräns. FöSummary The boundary between intent and conscious negligence in the Swedish legal system was previously set by the so called ‘dolus eventualis with a hypothetical test’. The latter was established by the Swedish Supreme Court (hereafter the Court) in a ruling from 1959, the “Råbyboys” case (NJA 1959 s. 63). Despite this there have been numerous attempts to replace dolus eventualis with a hypotheti

Abstract Individuals within species often show a consistent differences in their risk-taking behavior. I investigated whether intra-specific variation in risk-taking behavior is adaptive, i.e. if it stems from the life history strategy differences between individuals. As a result of life history trade-offs, individuals vary in their investment into survival and reproduction, such that some indivi

The capillary fringe is a small zone on top of the ground water table where a low capillary tension keeps soil pores with water up to a certain level. Normally, calculations in hydrogeology consider that the capillary fringe only has vertical movement like the unsaturated zone in comparison to the ground water zone, which only has horizontal movement. Today’s usage of pollutants in the environment

Industrial Parks in China have played a crucial role in attracting foreign investment and in enhancing regional development. However, there is an open question: do industrial parks develop comparable effects as natural grown clusters? Following agglomeration theory that highlighted the economic advantages from proximity between firms, and making use of a rich dataset from the Chinese domestic firm

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att ur ett ledningsperspektiv studera organisationsförändringar där medarbetare involveras. Hur kan ledningen agera för att involvera medarbetare och samtidigt bibehålla en fokus på de syften och mål man har med förändringsvision? Metod: En kvalitativ ansats där empiri införskaffas genom en fallstudie av Swedbank med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Empirin har seda

The strain on water resources with the increased man-induced environmental changes through water pollution, is creating a growing demand in the understanding and management of complex hydrological systems where both water quality and quantity are concerned. This is beyond the capabilities of lumped models and more advanced tools are needed to predict these effects and hence the need for physically

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna uppsats är ett examensarbete, utfört som ett Minor Field Studie stipendie i Laos. Uppsatsen behandlar temat avskogning - erosion. Laos är ett land i Sydostasien som gränsar till länderna Thailand, Vietnam, Kambodja, Burma och Kina. 1991 täcktes fortfarande 47 % av landets totala areal av orörda skogar. Laos inriktning mot en marknadsekonomi främjar avverkThe Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is a small landlocked country in South-East Asia, where virgin forest still covers almost 47 % of the country’s total area (1991). Logging offers the potential to improve the economy of the Lao PDR. Besides legal logging activities, illegal logging to provide the population with agricultural land, pasture and firewood is taking place. Since the Lao PD

This thesis has presented four cases of hypothetical sentences using subjunctive in Spanish and their Swedish counterpart. The investigated sentences were the three subordinate clauses: consecutive, comparative and conditional as well as the principal clause that is combined with a subordinate conditional clause with si. The objective of this thesis was to investigate how hypothetical sentences us

It has long been debated whether second language learning activities that contain authentic materials are more effective than their constructed and more grammatical counterparts, and there is still no clear consensus on whether one is more efficient than the other. This research paper investigated the writing proficiency of four students learning French at Lund University in Sweden, where one stud

The aim of this thesis is to look at how home-based teleworking influences individuals and how the social institutions (labor and social welfare) construct home-based female teleworkers. The thesis is mainly divided into two parts: one on micro level focusing on the influences of teleworking on home-based female teleworkers, and one on the macro level aiming to find out the influence of labor and

The purpose of the present study was to increase knowledge about social anxiety within a population that previous research has largely ignored even though it has been showed that difficulties often arise in this period, namely adolescence; by looking upon how frequently occurring it is, to see which symptoms are most commonly experienced and to see if and how social anxiety relates to diverse psyc
