Popular Abstract in Swedish Bestrålning av allmänheten från radioaktivt cesium efter Tjernobylolyckan. Fältstudier i ett högkontaminerat område i Bryanskregionen i Ryssland. Olyckan i kärnkraftverket i Tjernobyl i Ukraina 1986 orsakade att stora delar av Europa kontaminerades med radioaktiva ämnen, varav 137Cs är det som fortfarande finns kvar pga sin långa halveringstid (30.2 år). BryanskområdetFrom 1990 to 1998, estimations of the effective dose from external as well as internal irradiation from 137Cs and 134Cs were carried out for inhabitants in rural villages in the Bryansk region, Russia, highly contaminated due to the Chernobyl accident in 1986. The villages were situated about 180 km from the Chernobyl power plant and the deposition of 137Cs was in the range 0.9-2.7 MBq m-2. Yearly

The main aim of this thesis is to defend moral realism. In chapter 1, I argue that moral realism is best understood as the view that (1) moral sentences have truth-value (cognitivism), (2) there are moral properties that make some moral sentences true (success-theory), and (3) moral properties are not reducible to non-moral properties (non-reductionism). Realism is contrasted with non-cognitivism,

Single crystal structural data have been used to estimate the influence of the X, Y and Z ligands on the Pt‹L bond length in [PtLXYZ] complexes, i.e. the ground state cis- and trans-influence. Cl or S were selected as indicator ligands, L, for these studies. Ligands with soft donor atoms, such as sulfur, carbon and silicon have been used to study their trans-influence on halides. The effects of ex

Swedish translation (by B. Stolt) of select sermons by John Tauler (c. 1300-1361). A selection was made from among the authentic texts in Middle German.

In arid and semi-arid areas, hydrosphere and biosphere suffer maximal disturbance and impacts of mankind during the development and utilizing processes. These impacts interact with each other and exert hostile effect on the environment. The transformation of the ecological environment depends mainly on the exploitation of water resource, economic development and the relative balance of environment

A previously proposed model for non-stationary signals is extended in this contribution. The model consists of mul- tiple time-translated locally stationary processes. The opti- mal Ambiguity kernel for the process in mean-square-error sense is computed analytically and is used to estimate the time-frequency distribution. The performance of the kernel is compared with other commonly used kernels.
