Development of a spectroscopic technique for assessment of optical properties and gas content in porous turbid media

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Spektroskopi handlar om teoretiska modeller och experiment där man observerar ljus som har växelverkat med materia. Spektroskopiska metoder används inom många olika ämnesområden som exempelvis kemi, fysik och biologi. Ett jordnära exempel på tillämpad spektroskopi är människans öga. Reflekterat ljus från olika föremål samlas in av linsen i ögat, avbildas på näthiIn this thesis a novel spectroscopic method consisting of a combination of frequency domain photon migration (FPDM) and gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) is developed, for assessment of the mean optical path length and gas absorption in porous media. The system stability is experimentally investigated and measurements are performed on balsa and pine wood to evaluate the rela

Objektivitetsprincipen - en rättspsykologisk omöjlighet? Om möjligheten att upprätthålla rättssäkerheten vid förundersökning av grova brott.

Thomas Quick erkände under 1990-talet ett 30-tal mord som han påstod att han begått i Sverige, Norge, Danmark, och Finland under åren 1964-1993. Han dömdes för åtta av dem. 18 år senare, i december 2008, tar han tillbaka alla sina erkännanden av mord och begär resning för samtliga fällande domar. Detta har hittills resulterat i tre frikännande domar samt två positiva resningsbeslut. Pelle Svensson1990 Thomas Quick confessed to around 30 murders that he claimed to have committed in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland around the years 1964-1993. He was convicted for eight of them. 18 years later he takes back his confessions of murder and applies for remedy for all his convictions. This has so far resulted in three acquittals and five granted trials of remedy. Pelle Svensson, lawyer and auth

Do Not Tell Me Soldier… A review of the requirement for knowledge in the Command Responsibility doctrine

Förmannaansvar (command responsibility) är en form av straffansvar som utvecklats till största delen under 1900-talet och ger möjlighet att åtala militära befälhavare och andra överordnade för krigsbrott samt brott mot mänskligheten genom att bevisa tre rekvisit. Inledningsvis måste befälhavaren ha effektiv kontroll över den underordnade som begått brottet. Vidare krävs att befälhavaren innehar enCommand responsibility is a mode of criminal responsibility that developed mostly during the 20th century and provides the opportunity to charge military commanders and other superiors for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by their subordinates by proving three criteria. To begin with, the commander must have exercised effective control over the subordinate, moreover the commander m

Mise-En-Page - An Introduction To Screenplay Style & Form

The purpose of this essay is to establish the screenplay as a valid, and relevant, object for study in the field of film studies in order to stimulate further research within the field and for a more prevalent inclusion of screenplays in the general discourse of film studies. I argue that accounts of the screenplay as either literature or blueprints, which stand in ideological opposition to each o

Aggressiv marknadsföring

Marknadsföring genom aggressiva metoder har traditionellt ansetts otillbörligt och förbjudet i Sverige. Det var först genom tillkomsten av Marknadsföringslagen (2008:486) som det infördes ett uttryckligt förbud mot aggressiv marknadsföring. Anledningen var att direktivet 2005/29/EG om otillbörliga affärsmetoder, som uttryckligen förbjuder aggressiva metoder, skulle implementeras. Sedan dess ska maMarketing through aggressive methods has traditionally been considered inappropriate and prohibited in Sweden. It was first when Sweden adopted Marketing Act (2008:486) an explicit prohibition of aggressive commercial practices was introduced. The reason was that the Directive 2005/29/EC “the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive” - explicitly prohibiting aggressive commercial practices – was impl

Interdependence in China-Africa Aid Relations.

Is Loss Aversion Causing "FREE!" to Flourish?

“Buy one – get one free!” is one of hundreds of commercial messages you see every day. Recent research has concluded what salespeople have known for decades; there is something peculiar about offers involving the concept of free. Suddenly people start to behave irrationally and make choices far from the predictable safe havens of classical economic theory. This thesis test the existence of a zero-

Medveten närvaro i skolan: en utvärderande studie av programmet COMPAS

I denna studie undersöktes hur träning i medveten närvaro påverkade psykologiskt välbefinnande och medkänsla hos barn i tidig adolescens. Urvalet bestod av 251 högstadieelever från två olika skolor i södra Sverige. Interventionen var ett medveten närvaro-baserat program, COMPAS (Compassion and Attention in the Schools), som bestod av två förinspelade guidade meditationer som eleverna lyssnade på tIn this study we explored how mindfulness training interacted with psychological wellbeing and compassion for children in early adolescence. The sample included 251 7th and 8th grade students from two elementary schools in southern Sweden. The intervention was a mindfulness based-program called COMPAS (Compassion and Attention in the Schools), which consisted of two pre recorded guided meditations

The analysis has been made

Spatial Discrimination Performance at Levels of Pattern Separation Demand after Global/Local Processing

The pattern separation process, where sensory input is given an individual place in memory without compromising or overwriting older memory representations, is highly sensitive to small changes in input, and as the similarity between items increases so does pattern separation demand (Clelland et al., 2009; Yassa & Stark, 2011). This experiment tested performance on a pattern separation-depende

Time and energy calibration of large-volume segmented sodium-iodide detectors

Nuclear physics research is focused upon determining the structure of the atomic nucleus and nuclei, and understanding the interactions both within it and between them. To accomplish this, various probes of the nucleus are used - two types are 'electromagnetic' and 'hadronic'. An example of an electromagnetic probe is the photon, which has the advantage of interacting with the nu

Öppna magasin. Om tillgänglighet, delaktighet och museisamlingar.

In the last decades of museum policies and practices, the work concerning museum collections has increasingly also become a matter of accessibility for museum visitors. One manifestation of this is to make collections available digitally, but at the same time, many museums also make their collections available physically in the form of visible storage. The latter poses increased risks of damage to
