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

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

Recent studies have shown that increased liquidity is perhaps not always strictly beneficial and that high trading volumes can produce trading noise causing increased volatility above that based on fundamentals. This study investigates whether this applies to the Swedish stock market by analyzing dual-class stocks that have the same cash flow rights but different control rights and different tradi

Forskning kring tidigt liv möter svårigheter utöver de som forskning kring senare liv ställs inför. På grund av att de tidigaste bergarterna inte finns bevarade har viktig information om jordens tidiga förhållanden för evigt gått förlorad. Dessutom var de tidigaste livsformerna små och morfologiskt enkla, vilket betyder att abiotiska pseudofossil lätt kan infiltrera fossilarkivet. Ett centralt temEarly life research faces additional challenges than those of the study of later life forms. Due to the de-materialization of the earliest rocks, valuable information about the early Earth is forever lost. Furthermore, early life was small and morphologically basic, effectuating abiotic pseudofossils to infiltrate the fossil record. A central theme is the close connection early life research share

I denna uppsats används reflexiva etnografiska metoder för att problematisera relationen mellan bidrag från Väst, den Kenyanska samhälleliga kontexten och HBTQ-organisationer. Ett queerteoretisk, intersektionellt perspektiv används för att undersöka ämnen som bidrag, bidragskrav, mänskliga rättigheter och kulturrelativism för att förstå hur bidrag från Västerländska institutioner som NGOs och myndThis thesis uses reflexive ethnographic methods to problematise the relationship between Western aid, the Kenyan societal context and LGBTI-rights organisations.
