Our aim was to examine the effect of water stress on plant growth and development of two native plant species (Tetraclinis articulata and Crithmum maritimum) and on microbial community composition and activity in the rhizosphere soil, following the addition of an organic amendment, namely sugar beet residue (SBR), and/or the inoculation with an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, namely Glomus mos
Westphal's thesis contains a summary of earlier structural analyses of Hebrews. Her own discourse analysis structures Hebrews into three parts 1) 1:1–4:16; 2) 4:11–7:28 and 8:1–10:25; 3) 10:19–13:25. Westphal characterizes Heb 4:11-16 and 10:19-25 as "overlapping" parts and as keys to the structure and meaning of Hebrews. The structure according to this approach is not new. A shortcoming in this t
Background: We have previously reported that expression of the RNA-and DNA-binding protein RBM3 is associated with a good prognosis in breast cancer and ovarian cancer. In this study, the prognostic value of immunohistochemical RBM3 expression was assessed in incident cases of malignant melanoma from a prospective population-based cohort study. Methods: Until Dec 31(st) 2008, 264 incident cases of

A register control was performed on the group by raising
Renewable energy projects are essential for a sustainable energy transition. In addition to the fundamental benefits of renewable power generation, such as climate change mitigation and clean air, renewable power projects with energy storage solutions can provide economic benefits for electricity producers and add value to the operation of the national grid. This thesis investigates the innovative
Bakgrund: Samverkan: Samverkansprojekt blir allt mer och mer vanligt för större infrastrukturprojekt i Sverige. I ett samverkansprojekt samarbetar de olika aktörerna för att tillsammans arbeta fram till ett gemensamt mål och dessa projekt har flera fördelar, bland annat ökad transparens och ofta högre kvalitet. Ett sådant projekt är en tillfällig organisation som måste vara flexibel och anpassnin
The critics about poor performance of NGOs over the last two decades focuses on their inclination towards ‘big D’ development – project based intentional activity in health, education and water which has little intention to challenge existing power relation and social structures - and underlined the loss of transformatory edge of participation. Critics further urged NGOs to realign their orientati
Globalization is an increasingly pervasive factor in the economy, and due to the increasingly international market and competition, it is becoming progressively difficult for firms in traditional, mature industries in high-wage countries to remain competitive. This thesis highlights the case of the Småland-Blekinge region that is performing paradoxically well, largely due to a manufacturing indust
Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att problematisera mångfaldshanteringen genom att studera mångfald där den praktiseras, bland de anställda. Med hjälp av anställdas perspektiv vill vi undersöka hur ett företag i Sverige praktiskt jobbar med diversity management. För att detta ska bli möjligt är det samtidigt viktigt att förstå ledningens perspektiv, därför kommer vi att ta med även denna. Vi
En psykiskt störd lagöverträdare behöver i majoriteten av världens länder be-dömas vara tillräknelig för att kunna hållas straffrättsligt ansvarig för en brottslig gärning, det vill säga ha insikt och kontroll över sitt handlande vid gärningstillfället. I Sverige avskaffades detta så kallade tillräknelighetskrav i samband med införandet av brottsbalken 1965. Idén bakom lagändringen byggde på föreMost legal orders contain a requirement that a mentally disturbed offender must be considered sane in order to be held criminally responsible, in other words these offenders will only be imposed liability if they have had insight and control over their actions during the criminal act. However, in Sweden, this exemption from criminal responsibility was abolished in conjunction with the passing of
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a nuanced understanding of organisational cultural differences, obstacles associated with the human integration process and management strategies to overcome them. Theoretical Framework: Organisational cultural differences are treated as stemming largely from the organisation’s task environment, influenced by industry and function. Human integration is the proce
In the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) battery industry, strategic supplier selection is crucial for securing a reliable and cost-effective supply chain. This thesis examines the implementation of a capacity analysis and a should-cost model to optimize supplier selection and contracting for Northvolt, a leading battery manufacturer, as it expands into North America. With Northvolt's new
The purpose of this paper was to assess how the EU chemical regulation, REACH, affected the reform of the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act. It borrows from theories of policy diffusion and of the EU as a regulatory power, which were used to theorize two causal mechanisms potentially leading to convergence between the European and American chemical regulations, tested using a method of process-tra

Idag bor cirka en miljard människor i världen i informella bosättningar och saknar tillgång till avfalls- och sanitetstjänster samt stadsinfrastruktur. I Rio de Janeiro bor cirka 1,4 miljoner människor, en fjärdedel av stadsbefolkningen, i informella bosättningar, eller favelor som det heter i Brasilien. Bristerna i stadens avfallshanteringssystem manifesterar sig huvudsakligen genom ansamling av Today, about one billion people in the world live in informal settlements and lack access to basic services and city infrastructure. In Rio de Janeiro, approximately 1,4 million people, one fourth of the city population, live in informal settlements, in Brazil called favelas. The insufficiency of the city’s waste services mainly manifests itself through accumulation of waste in public spaces in th
Human Capital is deemed as an imperative factor for economic growth, however, it is argued the extent of this interrelation. Acemoglu, Gallego and Robinson (2014) claim that the institutional framework of a nation, in specificthose of private property are deemed as pivotal for a nation’s development. In this sense, in order to contectualise this argument, the current thesis focuses on the case of
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur implementeringen av byggherredrivna detaljplaneprocesser har fungerat i de kommuner som undersökts. Studien visar på att det inte finns någon större skillnad när det gäller kostnad, tid eller kvalitet vid en jämförelse av en byggherredriven och en traditionellt driven detaljplan. Studien visar även på att en byggherredriven detaljplan är mer genomförbar än The purpose of the study is to investigate how the implementation of local plans produced by the developer have worked in the investigated municipalities. The study shows that there is no major difference in costs, time or quality in between a local plan produced by the developer or the municipality. The study shows that a local plan produced by the developer is easier to implement then a plan pr
Background: Approximately 80% of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) recurrences, local and metastatic disease, are diagnosed within the first 3 years after primary diagnosis and treatment. Recurrences, however, can present after a longer period of remission. Our goal was to identify factors that may predict the risk of late recurrence. Methods: We identified 677 patients with STS of the extremities and tru
INTRODUCTION: There are few recent studies on trends over time in functional outcome and mortality after stroke, with results separately presented for ischaemic stroke (IS) or ICH. We aimed to determine temporal changes in functional outcome and case-fatality 90 days after IS and ICH in Sweden between 2010 and 2019. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We included patients (≥18 years) with first-ever IS or ICH r
