Agricultural land use results in multiple stressors affecting stream ecosystems. Flow reduction due to water abstraction, elevated levels of nutrients and chemical contaminants are common agricultural stressors worldwide. Concurrently, stream ecosystems are also increasingly affected by climate change. Interactions among multiple co-occurring stressors result in biological responses that cannot be
Med verkan från den 12 februari 2009 har Sverige regler som begränsar lånemöjligheterna från utländska företag. Lagstiftningen trädde formellt i kraft den förste januari 2010 och har införts till följd av att Skatteverket uppmärksammat en ökad aktivitet av skatteplanering innefattande utländska holdingbolag. Ägarledda svenska företag överlät sin verksamhet till ett egenkontrollerat utländskt holdiWith effect from 12 February 2010, Sweden has adopted rules which limit the right to accept loans from foreign companies. The legislation took formal affect 1 January 2010 and were in forced due to an inquiry made by the Swedish Tax Agency (Sv. Skatteverket), which highlighted an increasing activity of tax avoidance schemes through foreign holding companies. Management owned Swedish companies tran
Syftet med denna uppsats är främst att undersöka vad som gäller när ett försäkringsavtal ska tolkas. Det utreds huruvida försäkringsavtalets särskilda kännetecken, bland annat att bristande jämvikt rörande sakkunskaper på det relevanta området normalt råder mellan parterna i ett försäkringsavtal, medför att sådana avtal ska tolkas på ett annorlunda sätt jämfört med hur avtal i allmänhet tolkas. ViThe aim of this paper is primarily to examine how an insurance contract ought to be interpreted. An interesting question is whether the specific characteristics of the insurance contract, for example the often-existing imbalance between the parties regarding expertise in the area of insurance law, lead to the result that such contracts are to be interpreted differently from other agreements. Furth
Many studies show that socioeconomic and demographic variables have a strong link with human health which in turn affects life expectancy and age. This paper presents the results of a principal component regression analysis, in order to describe a good regression model for mean age of the population of all the countries in the world. The data are from “Philips Geographical Digest” and “World Resou
Research into the horse's role in social work has increased, and there is evidence that the horse can be an important factor in treatment. It created an interest to study if the horse can also serve as a health promoting factor. The aim of this study is to examine the meaning of interests and to clarify and analyze the horse's importance for a sense of coherence. Antonovsky has formulated
En ökad medvetenhet om värdet av ett rent grundvatten yttrar sig i allt fler sammanhang, bl.a. i det nationella miljömål om grundvatten av god kvalitet som riksdagen presenterat. Simrishamns kommun ser över vattenskyddsområdena runt kommunens grundvattentäkter för att säkerställa ett rent grundvatten. Målet med detta examensarbete är att ta fram ett underlag som skall kunna ligga till grund för avThe increased awareness of the value of clean groundwater can be seen in a growing number of contexts. This is also emphasized in the national environmental goals, put up by the Swedish government. The municipality of Simrishamn, in southern Sweden, is re-evaluating the extension of the existing restriction areas around the groundwater wells of the municipality. The aims in this investigation were
Popular summary: In my work I have studied the manganese ores at Bölet in Västergötland, southern Sweden. The ores at Bölet are of hydrothermal origin, which means that a hot fluid flushed through the bedrock and precipitated different salts and minerals. The purpose of the study was to determine the temperature of the precipitating fluids and to estimate their composition. To do so I examined mic
While the call for regulations against greenhouse gas emissions are louder then ever before, demand for oil is also at an all time high. Oil companies face the dilemma of making sound business without being perceived as environmental villains. In this essay I will examine how BP, one of the largest companies in the world, broke rank with the industry and devoted itself to being an environmental fr
Abstract Fokus för denna uppsats är våld i lesbiska parrelationer och hur man teoretiskt kan konceptualisera detta våld. Mitt övergripande syfte har varit att öka förståelsen för denna form av våld och därmed bidra till ett relativt outvecklat forskningsfält. Ett ytterligare syfte har varit att undersöka om den könsmaktsanalys som haft stor betydelse för tolkningen och förståelsen av mäns våld mo
The capacity of murine liver dendritic cells (DC) to present bacterial Ags and produce cytokines after encounter with Salmonella was studied. Freshly isolated, nonparenchymal liver CD11c(+) cells had heterogeneous expression of MHC class II and CD11b and a low level of CD40 and CD86 expression. Characterization of liver DC subsets revealed that CD8alpha(-)CD4(-) double negative cells constituted t
All accounts of communicative behaviour in general, and communicative strategies in particular, mention gesture1 in relation to language acquisition (cf. Faerch & Kasper 1983 for an overview). However, few attempts have been made to investigate how spoken language and spontaneous gesture combine to determine discourse referents. Referential gesture and referential discourse will be of particul
Background Subjective evaluation of gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound findings (i. e., pattern recognition) by an experienced examiner and preoperative serum levels of CA-125 can both discriminate benign from malignant adnexal ( i. e., ovarian, paraovarian, or tubal) masses. We compared the diagnostic performance of these methods in a large multicenter study. Methods In a prospective multicenter s
The thesis comprises four independent research papers and a summary that focus on two related dimensions. The first dimension focuses on the understanding of the production of health. Particularly, the question is asked whether community's stock of social capital influence individual's health. The second dimension focuses on an attempt to understand the causes of socioeconomic health inequality (S

Singapore and Finland, despite having very different approaches to basic education, both perform highly in standardized testing and are respected internationally for their education systems. This paper takes a policy-planning view in analysing what makes these systems tick, looking specifically for similarities in these contrasting systems, or a “different process same outcome” approach. This mean
Molecular cluster is a nanoparticle that is defined as an agglomerate of few up to 106-7 of molecules (corresponding to 1- 100 nm in size) that can be manipulated by the cluster beams. Molecular cluster properties typically lie between the individual molecule and bulk matter properties. This work describes the employment of the Cold Aerodynamic Source (CAS) to produce a narrow, collimated and iso
Abstract The significance of terrestrially derived iron (Fe) for marine ecosystems and its implications on other biogeochemical cycles is well recognised. It has been recently highlighted that the concentration of Fe in several Swedish rivers has increased strongly over the last 40 years. Four rivers draining into the Baltic Sea were used in the present study in order to assess the aggregation pr
Uppsatsen utreder huruvida det finns stöd för att det när ett avtalsbrott begåtts finns någon allmän reklamationsskyldighet i svensk rätt. Om neutral reklamation eller specialreklamation avseende hävning, skadestånd eller naturafullgörelse krävs behandlas även. För att definiera reklamationsinstitutet behandlas passivitetsregler och preskription, som är till reklamation näraliggande institut eftThis essay examines if there can be found any support for that it is an obligation in the areas not regulated by law to notify the breaching party of the breach of contract. Whether neutral or special notification regarding cancelling, damages or performance is required is also discussed. To define the institute of notification, the rules concerning inactivity and statutory time limitations are

This thesis is about the overlooked workload nurses’ hands are daily exposed to. This workload is made up of small tasks, seemingly requiring small efforts that together and over time can cause considerable muscle wear. A large number of these tasks consist of opening packages constructed to ensure that the products are sterile. In this study, the effects these packages have on the users were exam
