Recent advances in laser technology, with the development of extremely short-pulse, high-intensity lasers, have opened doors to new areas in atomic physics. By focusing light from an intense, short-pulse laser into a gas jet, the emission of high-order harmonics of the laser frequency has been studied. The aim of this work has been two-fold: to better understand the underlying physics of the harmo
Firms began to abandon the “silo” approach to risk management for more integration in the risk management system. Enterprise risk management (ERM) emerged as a framework for the management of integrated risks in a strategy setting supported by risk governance. Practically and empirically there has been no real consensus about what an ERM firm looks like. ERM frameworks provide a variety of concept
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kemisk vittring har en avgörande betydelse för hur näringsämnen frigörs, ansamlas och kan utnyttjas i mark/växtsystemet. Vittringshastigheten har därför stor betydelse för hur skogs- och jordbrukare kan optimera skogsskötseln och skördeuttaget, inom ramen för ett uthålligt skogsbruk. I avhandlingen studeras vittring av epidot och lermineral för att vidareutveckla den geChemical weathering is one of the most important processes supporting life on Earth. Chemical weathering continuously contributes macronutrients and micronutrients to the soil solution. These recycling, essential elements are used as building blocks for all organic living matter. Chemical weathering is a vital factor in the analysis and understanding of a large number of important environmental is
The complexation between a polyion and an oppositely charged spherical macroion in the framework of the primitive model has been studied by the use of Monte Carlo simulations. The polyion length, linear charge density, and bare persistence length are varied systematically, while the properties of the macroion are kept constant. The polyion charge to macroion charge ratio is varied between 1/4 and
A published investigation in 1961 of the vegetation on 10 burial mounds in southern Zealand was repeated in 2000. The burial mounds were situated as islands in the intensively used arable landscape. It is likely that such small fragments receive great inputs of Nitrogen by wet deposition and spill-over of artificial fertiliser from the surrounding fields. It was hypothesised that burial mounds in
The interactions between molecules of a low molecular weight diblock copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) (E) and poly(butylene oxide) (B), B8E41, at hydrophobic surfaces were investigated experimentally by using two surface force techniques and ellipsometry. Extended mean-field theory was employed to describe the adsorption of EB diblock copolymers at planar surfaces as well as the forces between su
The aims of this study were to investigate the frequency of dysphagia among patients with acute stroke and compare non-dysphagic and dysphagic stroke patients regarding demographic aspects, performance in activities of daily living and type of neurological deficiency and to test a bedside screening tool to identify patients with dysphagia. The frequency of dysphagia was found to be 27%, or 40% if
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by various combinations of ?-cell failure and insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance. In order to maintain glucose tolerance in the insulin resistance state, increased insulin secretion is a requirement and it is because of inadequate islet adaptation that glucose intolerance develops in T2DM. The pathophysiology of T2DM
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den främsta orsaken till att cancer kan leda till döden är att tumörceller växer in i angränsande vävnad (invasiv) och tar sig in i blodet eller lymfsystemet och på så sätt sprids (metastaserar) till andra ställen i kroppen och stör funktionen i livsviktiga organ dvs tumören får ett aggressivt växtsätt. Det är därför viktigt, både ur prognostisk och terapeutisk synvinkeThe progressive process of tumour invasion and generation of metastases is the primary cause of death for most patients with cancer. Some of the regulatory components of this progressive process are adhesion, migration, and proteolysis. Urokinase -type plasminogen activator (u-PA) is a serine protease associated with tissue remodelling, cellular invasiveness, matrix degradation, angiogenesis, and
Europeiska unionen syftar till att skapa fri handel på en inre marknad. Det innebär en fri rörlighet av bland annat varor. Med varor avses alla materiella ting, vilket även inkluderar avfall. Handel med avfall mellan Europeiska unionen och tredje länder är också vanligt förekommande. Anledningen till att handel bedrivs med avfall är att vissa avfallskategorier fungerar som insatsvaror i produktionThe European Union aims to create free trade on an internal market. Among other things, this means free movement of goods. Goods are defined as all material things, which also include waste. Trade in waste between the European Union and third countries is also common. The reason for trading in waste is that certain waste categories act as inputs in the production of other goods and products. A com
Miljörätten är en väldigt speciell del i den svenska rätten, och när det gäller miljöstraffrätten och miljöbrott är detta ett väldigt komplext område. Från att tidigare ha varit en uppdelad miljölagstiftning på inte mindre än 16 lagar, till att efter reformationen 1999 samla alla dessa i en ny miljöbalk som från och med då skulle bli den centrala delen i Sveriges arbete mot en hållbar utveckling. Environmental law is a very special part of Swedish law, and in terms of environmental law and environmental crime, this is a very complex area. From having previously been a divided environmental legislation of no less than 16 laws, until after the 1999 reform, all of them gathered in a new environmental bar that would then become the central part of Sweden's work towards sustainable developm
De senaste åren har strejkrätten varit uppe på agendan i offentlig debatt och media. Efter en tid av utdragna konflikter på containerterminalen i Göteborgs hamn tillsatte regeringen en utredning för att undersöka möjligheten och lämpligheten att inskränka arbetstagares och arbetstagarorganisationers rätt att vidta stridsåtgärder i vissa situationer. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur den fö
Under de senaste åren har en ny grupp av unionsmedborgare, de som i uppsatsen definieras som ekonomiskt utsatta, utnyttjat sin fria rörlighet för att resa till och uppehålla sig i Sverige. I och med detta uppkommer nya rättsliga frågor och problem, bland annat vilken rätt till vård som barnen till dessa ekonomiskt utsatta unionsmedborgare har. Barnkonventionen, som blir svensk lag i januari 2020, In recent years a new group of EU citizens, those defined in this essay as economically vulnerable, have used their right to free movement to travel to and reside in Sweden. With this, new legal problems and issues arise, including what right to healthcare the children of these economically vulnerable EU citizens have. The Untied Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child(CRC), which becomes Sw
Den Europeiska Unionen utgör ett överstatligt samarbete mellan medlemsstaterna och dess viktigaste mål är en konkurrenskraftig inre marknad. Konkurrensrätten utgör ett vitalt verktyg för EU:s upprätthållande av konkurrensen på marknaden och genomdrivs huvudsakligen av Kommissionen. Privata sanktionsmedel, särskilt konkurrensskadetalan, har emellertid fått ökad betydelse. Denna utveckling har resulThe European Union is a supranational cooperation between its Member States, and its main objective is a highly competitive internal market. Competition law is a vital tool in the protection of competition on the market. It is mainly enforced by the Commission. However, private enforcement through competition damages actions, has become increasingly important. This development has resulted in a Di
Information system integration during M&As is one of the most critical processes when two companies are joining together. The majority of all work-related processes are dependent on functioning IS. The integration process exists of several crucial processes that are significant for the two organisations being able to work together. Organisations need to evaluate internal and external factors i
Introduction. Bread is one of the most consumed foods in the world today. It is also the cause for major food waste streams. Most breads have turned into high glycaemic index products with low nutritional value. This master’s thesis investigated whether the soluble oat fiber ß-glucan (BG) would have positive effects on the abovementioned. There are health claims associated with different doses of
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in young individuals. Following TBI, the initial injury caused by the head impact is exacerbated by a complex cascade of secondary injury factors leading to increased tissue loss. TBI is an established risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer disease (AD). In long-term survivors of TBI, increased aggre
The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressur
