Överlag är det ett stort mörkertal vid sexualbrott och underökningar tyder på att endast 10-20 % av alla sexualbrott anmäls. Ett problem är att många inte vill erkänna att de blivit utsatta, vilket gör att det blir svårt att få reda på hur stort mörkertalet faktiskt är. För att få fram There is a large dark figure of rapes, which means that very few report that they have been raped. Overall is it a large dark figure of sexual crimes and it is estimated that only 10-20 % of all sexual crimes are reported. One problem is that many do not want to admit that they are exposed, so it becomes difficult to know how large the dark figure of crime actually is. To obtain the dark figure of

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Conodonter är mikrofossil av en grupp numera utdöda ryggsträngsdjur eller tidiga ryggradsdjur, conodontdjuren. De små fosfatiska tandliknande strukturerna finns i huvudsak bevarade i marina karbonatbergarter från sen kambrium till sen trias. Conodonter har varit föremål för vetenskapliga studier sedan mer än hundra år tillbaka i tiden och den som först beskrev dThis investigation examines the distribution of conodont elements in the Early to early Middle Ordovician Latorpian, Volkhovian, Kundan and Aserian stages of the Tamsalu drill core in central Estonia. Slightly more than 24, 600 conodont elements from 17 samples were examined, and the biostratigraphic results were compared to previous works on conodont biostratigraphy from localities in Estonia, Ru

Bergmaterialindustrin i Sverige befinner sig just nu i en omstruktureringsfas då nya regler starkt begränsar möjligheten att använda sig av naturgrus för så väl bygg- och anläggningsändamål som för betongindustrin. Detta har även lett till att teknikutvecklingen stävar mot en övergång mot krossat berg, och inte sällan har det lett till bergmaterial med egenskaper som överträffar dem för naturgrus.The Swedish rock-mass industry is currently in a transition period because new rules and regulations strongly limit the possibility to use naturally sorted aggregates for construction and concrete purposes. Furthermore, research and development within the industry is more oriented towards crushed bedrock aggregates. Whilst the crystalline bedrock of Scandinavia mostly consists of Precambrian gneis
