The Nordic Grid facility (NorduGrid [1]) came into operation during summer 2002 when the Scandinavian ATLAS HEP group started to use the Grid for the ATLAS Data Challenges (DC) and was thus the first Grid ever contributing to an ATLAS production. Since then, the Grid facility has been in continuous 24/7 operation. NorduGrid is being used by a growing set of active users from various scientific are
Introduction: Investigation of bone marrow (BM) trephine biopsies and/or clot sections by CD34 immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing has been used by pathologists for several decades, and its clinical value has been well established with QBEND10 being the most frequently used primary antibody (Ab) clone. However, most other parameters related to the IHC protocol as well as the readout vary widely bet
Land cover and land management changes (LCLMCs) have a substantial impact on the global carbon budget and, consequently, on global climate via the biogeochemical (BGC) effects. The commonly considered BGC effects refer to the direct influence of LCLMCs on local carbon stocks (local BGC effects). However, LCLMCs also influence climate by altering the local surface energy balance due to changes in l
Advances in Earth observation capabilities mean that there is now a multitude of spatially resolved data sets available that can support the quantification of water and carbon pools and fluxes at the land surface. However, such quantification ideally requires efficient synergistic exploitation of those data, which in turn requires carbon and water land-surface models with the capability to simulta
The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) is an insect species that causes significant damage to Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests across Europe. Infestation by bark beetles can profoundly impact forest ecosystems, affecting their structure and composition and affecting the carbon cycle and biodiversity, including a decrease in net primary productivity (NPP), a key indicator of forest he
Humanitära interventioner, alltså militära ingripanden i en stat utan dess samtycke för att skydda befolkningens mänskliga rättigheter, har under de senaste årtiondena varit omdiskuterade. Interventionernas förespråkare menar att vi alla har en moralisk skyldighet att hjälpa människor i nöd. De som är kritiska till interventionerna menar att dessa innebär en kränkning av en av folkrättens hörnstenHumanitarian interventions, that is to say military interventions in a state, without its permission, to protect the population’s human rights, have during the past decades been controversial. The advocates of the interventions regard it as everyone’s duty to help humans in need. The interventions’ critics argue that the interventions are a violation of one cornerstone of the international law, th
Concerns over climate change are motivated in large part because of their impact on human society. Assessing the effect of that uncertainty on specific potential impacts is demanding, since it requires a systematic survey over both climate and impacts models. We provide a comprehensive evaluation of uncertainty in projected crop yields for maize, spring and winter wheat, rice, and soybean, using a
Manager with staff management responsibilities As a manager at SLU, you organise and structure activities based on SLU’s vision, goal and decisions by transforming and conretising these for your part of the organisation, and you realise and implement them according to timeframe and budget.

Bakgrund: Många barn upplever våld i sina familjer i vårt land. Upplevelser av våld kan leda till psykisk ohälsa. De anmälningar som görs till socialtjänsten utreds men leder sällan till insatser. Utredarna inom socialtjänsten är nyckelpersoner för att upptäcka dessa barn så att de får stöd, behandling och psykoterapi. Syfte: Att genom en enkätundersökning ta reda på vad utredare inom socialtjänstBackground: It is a fact that some children experience domestic violence in our country. The experience of violence is a severe threat towards children development and mental health. Further reports made to the social Services which lead to an actual social investigation of the child’s wellbeing seldom result in that proper treatment take place. The social service investigators are the key to pay
The N-body problem has been studied for many centuries and is still of interest in contemporary science. A lot of effort has gone into solving this problem but it's unlikely that a general solution will be found with the mathematical tools we have today. We review some of the progress that has been made over the centuries in solving it. We take a look at the first integrals, existence of solut
This thesis explores the relationship between journalism and advertising from the individual professional’s perspective. In-depth qualitative interviews with a total of eleven individuals currently working in Sweden or Denmark as either journalists or advertising, marketing and public relations professionals have been conducted, in which native advertisements have been shown and discussed. This ha
Denna framställning utgör en rättslig analys av Gällivare tingrätts dom angående Girjas sameby. Denna dom är i skrivande stund inte slutligt avgjord utan har överklagats till hovrätten. Tingsrätten slöt sig till att rennäringslagen stred mot egendomsskyddet i regeringsformen och lämnade denna lag utan avseende. Domstolen dömde till samebyns fördel i målet med stöd av rättsinstitutet urminnes hävd.This essay accounts for a legal analysis of a case that has been ruled by a Swedish district court (Girjasdomen). This case is appealed to a court of appeal, so the matter has not yet become final. The court stated that parts of the reindeer industry law (rennäringslagen) were not applicable in the current case due to the conflict with the property protection (egendomskyddet). The court ruled in f
The carbon dynamics of northern natural ecosystems contribute significantly to the global carbon balance. Periodic disturbances to these dynamics include insect herbivory. Larvae of autumn and winter moths (Epirrita autumnata and Operophtera brumata) defoliate mountain birch (Betula pubescens) forests in northern Scandinavia cyclically every 9-10 years and occasionally (50-150 years) extreme popul
In recent years, the European Commission has been in conflict with Hungary and its continued rule of law violations. While both parties justify their actions through normative ideology, this rhetoric lacks sufficient explanatory power for why the parties have incentives to continue cooperation. The main objective of this study is to identify the implicit motives of this conflict and explain the pe
dis thesis attempts to use qualitative research and sociological analysis to explore how demilitarization, which TEMPhas lasted for decades, may TEMPhas an impact on development in recent years. Mainly based on literature review and data analysis, dis thesis chose Costa Rica as teh background, for revealing national education status - as teh research object - to speculate on how demilitarization T
Kirizuma is a dining table influenced by Japanese and Swedish form language that adapts to compact living in Japan, while still supporting everyday family meals and gatherings. In cities like Tokyo and Kamagasaki, where tradition meets density, design must respond not only to spatial constraints but also to deeply rooted cultural rituals. The table takes its name and form from the traditional kir
We have modelled the formation of the eccentric double-degenerate binaries J1141-6545 and B2303+46 using the Henyey-type full stellar evolution code STARS and the population synthesis code BSE. We find that the outcome depends strongly on the common envelope (CE) evolution efficiency parameter alpha(CE) and show that both systems can be modelled with a single value of alpha(CE). The final orbit of
We estimated the CH4 budget in Finland for 2004–2014 using the CTE-CH4 data assimilation system with an extended atmospheric CH4 observation network of seven sites from Finland to surrounding regions (Hyytiälä, Kjølnes, Kumpula, Pallas, Puijo, Sodankylä, and Utö). The estimated average annual total emission for Finland is 0.6 ± 0.5 Tg CH4 yr−1. Sensitivity experiments show that the posterior biosp
