This thesis is an exploratory study with the aim to identify and analyze similarities and differences between different actors perspective on adequate and equal protection against accidents. The study shows that no common understanding of the meaning of the terms adequate and equal has been reached since the Civil Protection Act (LSO) was taken into use. This has caused a non-homogenous perspectiv

I uppsatsen presenteras en kartläggning av den italienska poeten och filmskaparen Pier Paolo Pasolinis teoretiska utläggningar kring filmen som "verklighetens semiologi". Resonemangen kopplas här samman med Pasolinis idéer kring "den poetiska filmen" och begreppet "filmpoesi", vilka sedan förankras i en presentation av ett antal utvalda närstudier. I dessa diskuteras

In November 2014 was the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Though east and west Berlin, and Germany as a whole, have been reunited for several years, the differences between east and west are still present in different discourses. The aim of this essay is to examine the view on East Germany/GDR in the narratives of left party Die Linke, trough analysis of four texts related to anniv

The aim for this study was to examine how adolescents well-being influences their self-report of different family issues. The empirical material was based upon a study including 88 adolescents in a Swedish upper level lower secondary school that took part in autumn 2014. The theoretical approach was logical positivism with a hypothetic-deductive method where a survey consisting of psychometric mea

To find approximate solutions to initial value problems (IVPs) one can use a wide range of numerical methods. A special group of IVPs referred to as stiff, can be numerically solved by a chain of methods, beginning with an implicit method then Newton's method and last, General minimal residual (GMRES). For GMRES to be more time-efficient, we need to apply a preconditioner to the system of equa

Temporära diplomatiska beskickningar mellan stater regleras internationellt genom ”The Convention on Special Mission”. Genom konventionen regleras också vilken typ av immunitet som gäller för ad hoc-diplomater. Temporära beskickningar har oftast ett specifikt syfte och verkar på uppdrag av en stat under en begränsad tidsperiod. Sverige har för närvarande inte anslutit sig till konventionen och harDiplomatic delegations sent by a state to conduct specific tasks are internationally referred to as special missions. This type of diplomacy is regulated through the Convention on Special Missions which also states the terms of immunity for the so-called ad hoc diplomats. Sweden has currently not ratified the convention and does not have any national regulation relating to special missions sent by

Enligt den Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och grundläggande friheterna (EKMR) krävs jurisdiktion för att en avtalsslutande part ska kunna hållas ansvarig, när ett påstående om intrång av non-refoulement enligt EKMR uppstår. Stater genomför extraterritoriella gränskontroller för att kontrollera migranter och internationella flyktingar utanför statens egna territoriuAccording to the European Convention on Human Rights, jurisdiction is a prerequisite for holding a contracting state responsible when an allegation of infringement of the ECHR arises, such as the principle of non-refoulement. States implement extraterritorial migration management measures trying to avoid triggering the principle of non-refoulement arguing that it cannot be applied extraterritorial

The interfacial behavior of aqueous solutions of four different neutral polymers in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been investigated by surface tension measurements and ellipsometry. The polymers comprised linear poly(ethylene oxide) with low and high molecular masses (10 (3) and 10 (6) Dalton (Da), respectively), and two high molecular mass methacrylate-based comb polymers conta

Dynamic chromatin structure is a fundamental property of gene transcriptional regulation, and has emerged as a critical modulator of physiological processes during cellular differentiation and development. Analysis of chromatin structure using molecular biology and biochemical assays in rare somatic stem and progenitor cells is key for understanding these processes but poses a great challenge beca

In this work, we propose a novel subspace-based estimator of periodicities in symbolic sequences. The estimator exploits the harmonic structure naturally occurring in symbolic se- quences and iteratively forms the estimate of the periodicities using a MUSIC-like formulation. The estimator allows for alphabets of different sizes, but is here illustrated using both simulated and real DNA measurement

Respiratory viral infections cause exacerbations of asthma and COPD that cannot be effectively treated today. Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an upstream epithelial cytokine linking the innate and adaptive immune system. Viral stimuli induce epithelial overexpression of TSLP in asthma and COPD. We hypothesise that TSLP switches on Th2-type inflammation in severe asthma/COPD. A deficient ant

To identify differences in seed lignin content, 520 randomly chosen independent lines were screened in mutagenized oat population and lines with the seed lignin levels ranging from 20 to 63 gkg(-1) were identified. In the commercial variety Belinda, from which the mutated population was developed, seed lignin level was determined to be 41 g kg(-1). In Assiniboia, a Canadian low lignin variety, it

Precipitation profiles of spot immunoprecipitate assay (SIA) reactions in gel are shown to have characteristics analogous to classic precipitin curves representing such immune reactions in solution. Thus SIA profiles of precipitated human albumin (HSA) and anti-HSA as checkerboard analysis permit: (1) determination of optimal proportions of antibody and antigen, (2) titration of antiserum as to an

Reproductive success usually declines in the course of the season, which may be a direct effect of breeding time, an effect of quality (individuals with high phenotypic or environmental quality breeding early), or a combination of the two. Being able to distinguish between these possibilities is crucial when trying to understand individual variation in annual routines, for instance when to breed,

Background The effectiveness of cervical cancer screening programs differs widely in different populations. The reasons for these differences are unclear. Routine and comprehensive audits have been proposed as an ethically required component of screening. We performed a nationwide audit of the effectiveness of the Swedish cervical cancer screening program. Methods We identified all invasive cervic

Internal dynamics of dansylated poly(propyleneamine) dendrimers (POPAM, G1-G4) in solution and excitation energy transfer from dansyls to eosin in POPAM-eosin complexes have been studied by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Combining the results from fluorescence anisotropy and the MD simulation studies suggests three time domains for the internal dyn

This bachelor thesis studies the process of the culture and arts economic support system in the municipality of Lund. It aims to define problems concerning the current support system, which in the present situation appears in form of a stagnant cultural eco system. To do this participant observation have been used as a method and interviews and communications analysis as complementary methods. The

Revolution. The word makes one think about two things: violence and social change. Is it even possible to achieve change on a large scale without the use of force? This thesis asks the question what a revolution is and whether or not it is dependent on violence to achieve its goals. To answer those questions i have performed an analysis of the violence and revolutionary ideals put forth in Christo
