Sorgenfrei-Tornquistzonen har sedan slutet av Paleozoikum undergått upprepade deformationsfaser, både extensiva och kompressiva som resulterat i omfattande blockförkastningar och bassänginversion. Detta har skapat en mycket uppsprucken berggrund som med tiden läkts av olika mineral. Denna studie presenterar en inventering av sprickmineralen i Dalby stenbrott i Skåne, var bergartsprover har samlatsThe Sorgenfrei-Tornquist zone has, since the late Paleozoic, undergone repeted periods of deformation, both extensive and compressive which have resulted in comprehensive block faulting and basin inversion. These factors have created a highly fractured bedrock that has healed of various minerals along the tectonic evolution. This study presents an inventory of fracture minerals in Dalby quarry in

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Canadian government’s stance on addressing the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and to perform an analysis of ongoing violence and asymmetric conflict in Indigenous-Government of Canada relations. The Canadian government’s approach in regards to holding a national inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada w

This bachelor’s thesis has focuses on the internal hierarchies of gender within the gay, male, community. Based on interviews with young gay men in Sweden, I explore the way that we (for I situate myself in the studied field) feel, experience and relate to concepts of masculinity, femininity and desire. From this I conclude that the position of negotiation with hegemonic masculinity is one of prec

Fifteen years after the adoption of UNSCR 1325, the resolution and its effects remains contested. Sweden, a champion of gender equality, was one of the first countries to adopt a National Action Plan and is now leading the push for worldwide implementation of UNSCR 1325. At the front of Sweden’s internationalist efforts is the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). Internally, the SAF acts to be a gender equ

The aim of this paper is to examine how statements about voluntary childlessness are being contrasted to normative ideals of parenting. What constitutes the empirical material is a discussion forum on the Swedish website Familjeliv.se in which members interact with each other over different topics related to family, including voluntary childlessness. By using discourse analysis in two steps I firs

Singapore and Finland, despite having very different approaches to basic education, both perform highly in standardized testing and are respected internationally for their education systems. This paper takes a policy-planning view in analysing what makes these systems tick, looking specifically for similarities in these contrasting systems, or a “different process same outcome” approach. This mean

Jag startade projektet med en öppen frågeställning med avsikt att undersöka väggen ur ett industridesignperspektiv. Väggen skapar rum och en av dess funktioner är att avskärma oss från ljud. Idag ställs det högre krav på akustiken i ett rum då det är allt vanligare med öppna planlösningar. Jag valde att studera olika typer av platser där människor samverkar i en öppen miljö och avgränsade projekte

The ‘superman’ does not simply carry the accustomed drives and strivings of the customary type of man beyond all measures and bounds. Superman is a qualitatively, not quantitatively, different form of existing man. The thing that the superman discards is precisely our boundless, purely quantitative non-stop progress. The superman is poorer, simpler, tenderer and tougher, quieter and more self-sacr

This thesis studies the long-run performance of IPOs. In addition, it differentiates between family firms and non-family firms. The long-run performance is tested on listings on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm over a period from 1997 to 2011. The sample consists of 100 firms, whereas 39 firms are classified as family firms. To test the long-run IPO performance, buy-and-hold abnormal return over a three year

There are currently several commercially available radiotherapy treatment units without a flattening filter in the beam line. Unflattened photon beams have an energy and lateral fluence distribution that is different from conventional beams and, thus, their attenuation properties differ. As a consequence, for flattening filter free (FFF) beams, the relationship between the beam-quality specifier T

Antisymmetric magneto-resistance anomalies generated by a reversal of the magnetization are studied in a number of GaMnAs/InGaAs layers with out-of-plane (easy axis) magnetization. The anomalies occur independent of the magnetic field orientation. This shows, that once a magnetic domain with reversed magnetization is nucleated, simply the presence of the domain wall between the longitudinal contac

Translating new findings in the laboratory into therapies for patients is a slow and expensive process. The development of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is further complicated by the difficulty in determining whether the drug truly retards the slow degenerative process or provides only symptomatic benefit. In this issue, Aviles-Olmos et al. describe a first in Parkinson's disease (PD) p

Background: The involvement of aquaporin (AQP) water and small solute channels in the etiology of several diseases, including cancer, neuromyelitis optica and body fluid imbalance disorders, has been suggested previously. Furthermore, results obtained in a mouse model suggested that AQP9 function contributes to hyperglycemia in type-2 diabetes. In addition, the physiological role of several AQP fa

How the molecular programs of differentiated cells develop as cells transit from multipotency through lineage commitment remains unexplored. This reflects the inability to access cells undergoing commitment or located in the immediate vicinity of commitment boundaries. It remains unclear whether commitment constitutes a gradual process, or else represents a discrete transition. Analyses of in vitr

Background: Cohort studies of the relationship between air pollution exposure and chronic health effects require predictions of exposure over long periods of time. Objectives: We developed a unified modeling approach for predicting fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and black carbon (as measured by light absorption coefficient) in six U.S. metropolitan regions from 1999

Introduction: There is a shortage of tools designed for use by occupational therapy practice in Arabic-speaking countries. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the original Satisfaction with Daily Occupations tool to Arabic and assess the psychometric properties of the adapted tool. Method: A cross-cultural adaptation process was performed. Face, content, and crite

New types of knowledge, and new ways of organising the production of it, may emerge as knowledge producers respond to the challenges posed by a changing society. This paper focuses on the core knowledge of one such emerging field, namely, innovation studies. To explore the knowledge base of the field, a database of references in scholarly surveys of various aspects of innovation, published in "han

A bioanode with high current density and coulombic efficiency was developed by co-immobilization of pyranose dehydrogenase from Agaricus meleagris (AmPDH) with the dehydrogenase domain of cellobiose dehydrogenase from Corynascus thermophiles (recDHCtCDH) expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli. The two enzymes were entrapped in Os-complex modified electrodeposition polymers (Os-EDPs) with spec
