Stanford, ett mindre samhälle 150 km väst om Kapstaden, har under de senaste åren sett en ökad turism och utveckling, vilket har medfört ett ökat behov av färskvatten. I dagsläget används en naturlig källa som täkt för kommunens vattenbehov, men källans hållbara vattenavgivningsförmåga på 33 000 m3/månad är otillräcklig och en kompletterande täkt är nödvändig. Stanfordakvifären består av två formaThis study focuses on the Stanford Aquifer which is located in the Overberg region in the Western Cape of South Africa. The ’Eye’, a captured spring, is used as source for potable water for the local municipality and extraction have in recent years exceeded the sustainable yield of 33 000 m3/month and a supplementary source is therefore needed. The aim of this study is to develop a conceptual mode

Current concepts of illegal combatant and mercenary are linked to the U.S. and their military activities, which that they hire security companies with “mercenaries” to fight against “illegal combatants”. These two concepts exist in a gray area of international law and they receive neither combatant status nor civilian status. Due there exist a discussion of the need to obtain civil status. By deve

Zirkon (ZrSiO4) och baddeleyit (ZrO2) är två vanliga zirkoniuminnehållande mineral som båda är viktiga för U-Pb-geokronologi. Zirkon är stabilt under kiselmättade förhållanden medan baddeleyit under kiselmättade förhållanden torde reagera med det tillgängliga kislet och bilda zirkon. Trots detta har baddeleyit observerats som interna domäner i zirkon i kiselmättade bergarter från exempelvis sydväsZircon (ZrSiO4) and baddeleyite (ZrO2) are two common zirconium bearing minerals which are important for U-Pb geochronology. Zircon is stable at silica saturated conditions, while baddeleyite should react with the free silica to form zircon under the same conditions. Yet, baddeleyite have been observed as intergrowths within zircon grains in silica saturated rocks, e.g. from southern West Greenlan

Övergödningen är ett av de största hoten mot Östersjöns miljö. Den orsakar inte bara algblomning under sommarhalvåret utan även syrebrist (hypoxi). Utbredningen av syrefria bottnar i Östersjön har ökat fyrfaldigt sedan 1960-talet till följd av ökade utsläpp av näringsämnen, så som fosfor och kväve. Undersökningar av långa sedimentkärnor i Östersjön visar dock att dagens syrebrist inte är unik utanThe Baltic Sea is suffering from bad ecosystem health due to strong impacts of anthropogenic activities. Since 1960, the hypoxic (< 2mg/l dissolved oxygen) area has expanded to c. 49 000 km2, resulting in an amplified eutrophication, which severely threats the ecosystem of the Baltic Sea. The long-term trend in basin-wide hypoxia in the Baltic Sea is not fully understood. This study explores the t

Den aktuella studien handlar om att skapa fördjupad förståelse för hur patienter anslutna till psykosteamet på vuxenpsykiatrin i Kristianstad upplevelser sitt sammanhang i samarbetet. Studien belyser mer fokuserat hur patienter upplever tillämpningen av centrala målsättningar i vårdprogrammet, det kontaktskapande behandlingsarbetet, övergången till ett specialiserat psykosteam år 2009 och eventuel

The purpose of this study was to examine how it affects people, psychologically and socially, by having a close relative that have an alcohol or a narcotic addiction. We have done a qualitative study through thematised interviews with seven adults that have a close family member or a friend that have or has had an addiction. We have analyzed in what way these people have been affected, how they co

Idag lever vi en globaliserad värld där varor, tjänster och personer rör sig över större avstånd på ett allt enklare och snabbare sätt. Detta har resulterat i att fler företag har valt att etablerat sig internationellt och i allt större utsträckning strävar efter att etablera sig och verka globalt. När företag verkar i flera länder är en av konsekvenserna att företagen måste efterfölja lagar och rToday we live in a globalized world where goods, services and people can move easily over wide distances smoother and faster for each day. This has resulted in an increasing number of companies striving to establish and operate globally. One of the consequences when companies establishes worldwide is that they must comply with laws and regulations in the countries where they choose to establish. T

Most Faroese children attend day nurseries, kindergartens, day care centres or leisure schools. More than 65 % of children 0 – 10 years old attend such institutions, and when looking at 4 – 5 year olds it is more than 95% of the children. This is according to statistics from the Faroese Ministry of Culture and Education from 2009. Therefore one can conclude that the institutions have an important

In 2011 the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) released new data for the streamflow in the Columbia River. This extends the previous database record (1928-1999) to include the last nine years (1999-2008). Thomson Reuters Point Carbon are using this database to apply their proprietary hydrological HBV-type energy model in the Columbia River and therefore need a complete understanding of the

In the year of 2004, a tsunami struck the coast of Thailand. Around 30 000 Swedish tourist was present, and over 500 was killed. The Swedish government acted slowly in helping its citizens, which created a political crisis in Sweden when the support for the government declined.

Combustion of methanol is being used widely and the chemistry in the process is therefore important to know. When being mixed with formaldehyde and combusted previous measurements with the heat flux method have shown results not consistent with the theoretical models present today. These experiments are in this paper being repeated. A statistical examination of the burners used for the measurement

Skåne har formats genom flera tektoniska och geologiska processer kopplade till en stor sprick- och rörelsezon – Sorgenfrei-Tornquistzonen. I sydvästra Skåne finns ett större förkastat block, Höllvikensänkan, med sedimentära lager från trias-juratiden. Denna lagerföljd karakteriseras av sandsten varvat med lersten som avsatts både lokalt och över större områden. Studien har fokuserat på analys av The geological setting of Skåne is the outcome of successive phases of transtensional tectonics, block-faulting, subsidence, transpression and inversion focused around the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone. The Höllviken Halfgraben is one of the major blocks in southwestern Skåne with a Rhaetian–Pliensbachian succession characterized by interbedding of arenaceous and argillaceous facies of local and regio

As major flashpoints of contemporary conflict, contested cities are intensely resistant towards efforts aimed at reconstruction, reintegration and reconciliation. Peacebuilding undertaken in these cities often fails, leaving them on a continuum between war and peace where their frozen internal conflicts become stumbling blocks of statewide peacebuilding. Interestingly enough, limited attention has
