Context. It is still debated whether or not the Galactic chemical evolution of sulphur in the halo follows the flat trend with [Fe/H] that is ascribed to the result of explosive nucleosynthesis in type II SNe. It has been suggested that the disagreement between different investigations of sulphur abundances in halo stars might be owing to problems with the diagnostics used, that a new production s

Abstract in UndeterminedAbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate the structural licensing and the semantics of the dative-DP in ditransitive constructions in German from a cognitive and construction grammar perspective.While the indirect object in constructions with prototypical ditransitive verbs is said to be a lexically selected argument of the verb, the indirect object in beneficiary di

En av behandlingsmetoderna mot tumörer i levern på Lunds Universitetssjukhus är SIRT som står för ”Selective Internal RadioTherapy” det vill säga en intern radioterapeutisk behandling, i detta fall specifikt för levern. Behandlingen är cirka tio år gammal och i Lund har den utförts sedan december 2010. Under våren 2012 behandlades tre patienter med SIRT då de inte kan få sina cancertumörer i leverIntroduction: Cancer treatment is a process with continuous development. The most common treatment, within the field of radiation physics, is external radiation therapy, whereas one of the least common methods is Selective Internal RadioTherapy (SIRT). SIRT is a rather novel method for treating liver carcinoma. Microspheres containing 90Y are infused directly into the liver, via the hepatic artery

Lärare aktiva i det svenska skolsystemet innehar inte bara en uppgift att i sin tjänst förmedla kunskap. De har även en skyldighet att upprätthålla ordning samt säkra studiero och trygghet i skolan. Efter flertalet domslut som fattats under senare år har gällande rätt visat sig vara problematisk att klart definiera, vilket resulterat i att lärare idag erfar en osäkerhet över vilka befogenheter somTeachers working within the Swedish educational system have a duty, not only to mediate knowledge, but also to uphold the peace and security in school, as well as to guarantee a safe school environment for his or her students. However, the means, by which this duty is to be carried out, have been questioned after a number of judicial decisions in recent years, which have resulted in insecurity amo

Abstract The blue gum psyllid, Ctenarytaina eucalypti (Homoptera: Psylloidea), is an economic threat to Eucalyptus plantations worldwide. To date, no efficient control method is available for this pest and the potential for semiochemical-based monitoring or control methods have not yet been investigated. Hence, I conducted the first study on the olfactory sense of C. eucalypti, investigating the

For the early Jesus movement Jesus' messianic identity was of great importance. This description of Jesus as the Messiah is something that permeates the whole Gospel of Matthew. In Mt 8-9, Matthew has a massive depiction of Jesus' immense power through the stories of nine miracles. It is the portrayal of this miracle-working Messiah I examine in this essay. It is generally accepted that a

The purpose of my study was to examine care staff and unit heads perceptions and experiences in cultural meetings, both within the staff groups and within the recipients of care in the home service. I wanted to investigate what these cultural meetings means in the work with the elderly, how it is noticed and affects their work. The study is based on a qualitative research method with interviews of

In today’s society more and more work is carried out with the help of dif- ferent computer systems. To benefit from the data, integration between the systems is needed. Saab has developed a solution to the problem, by the name WISE. With a modular design costs can be minimized, because a new integration does not necessarily require new software, but can be achieved with configuration of an existin

During this master thesis work that was conducted as a case study together with SWEP International, we have investigated marking standards and marking technologies that support handling of varying customer demands and increased information density. We also studied SWEP’s internal information handling and traceability. We were asked to specifically look at the usefulness of RFID for SWEP, and came

Diskussionen om allmän kameraövervakning i förhållande till personlig integritet når ett djupare plan än de rent faktiska omständigheterna. Att en kamera sitter på husväggen kanske inte stör den förbipasserande just i det ögonblicket. Inte heller stör det kanske att de lokala livsmedelsaffärerna övervakar butikerna med kameror och bevarar materialet en tid. Den som inte har något att dölja behöverThe discussion about video surveillance in relation to privacy does not simply concern the outwardly apparent circumstances. A camera on the wall may not bother the passer by at that very moment, nor surveillance in the local supermarket or the fact that the pictures are saved for a period of time. It may be claimed that those individuals who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear. However, it

This study aims to present different factors influencing growth comparing Innovative Gazelles and other average SMEs. In addition, this study will investigate relevance of factors fostering innovation in high-growing SMEs in a cross-country perspective in order to show how Innovative Gazelles differ from SMEs in general. The study applies qualitative approach of multi case study, which will be con

Hur kan Helsingborgs kommun bidra till de omställningarna som krävs för att lyckas tackla klimatförändringarna? En lösning är att ta hjälp av naturen, så kallade naturbaserade lösningar (nature-based solutions, NBS). Dessa har förmåga att ta upp koldioxid från atmosfären och binda det som kol i marken. Dessutom bidrar NBS till andra fördelar, såsom biologisk mångfald och mänskligt välbefinnande. TThe ongoing climate change, caused by anthropogenic emissions, are making humans adapt to a new status quo, but focus should also be on mitigating climate change. One possible solution for this is to use the natures’ ability to sequestrate carbon from the atmosphere. To do this, it is necessary to gain knowledge about the current situation regarding land cover and the capacity to store in differen

The increase in crime is a high-profile problem area within the criminal policy debate in Sweden. Most political parties present stricter penalties as a possible solution. It is regulated by Swedish law how inmates shall, during their imprisonment, receive support in order to successfully reintegrate into society upon their release. This is in order to not relapse into crime. At the same time, for

I dagsläget är det få studier som undersökt skillnader mellan binära och icke-binära transpersoner. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka huruvida det förelåg en skillnad i könsdysfori, könskongruens, i vilken utsträckning man lever i enlighet med sin könsidentitet, samt graden av socialt stöd mellan binära och icke-binära transpersoner inom den svenska transvården. För att begripliggöra könsTo date there are few studies investigating the difference between binary and non-binary transgender people. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences between binary and non-binary patients in swedish transgender care, with regards to the level of gender dysphoria, gender congruence, living in accordance with one’s gender identity and social support. To better understand

Trots att den psykiska ohälsan ökar, upplevs det fortfarande som stigmatiserande. En vanlig orsak till detta är okunskap. I forskning har det framkommit att människor erhåller mycket av sin kunskap genom filmer, varvid den framställning som görs i film påverkar den förståelse och de attityder som omgivning kommer ha till psykisk ohälsa. En film där psykisk ohälsa är central är “A star is born” fråAlthough mental illness is an increasing problem, it’s still stigmatizing. A reason for this is a lack of knowledge. Research has shown that people obtain much of their knowledge through films, whereby the presentation made in movies affects the understanding and the attitudes that the environment will have to mental illness. A film where mental illness is central is "A star is born" fro

The inner relative humidity (RH) and degree of saturation (S) of high-performance concrete cured for 2 years in water or 3% NaCl solution were measured at three different levels from the concrete surface (outer layer 0 to 16 mm, middle layer 16 to 32 mm, and inner layer 32 to 50 mm). The effects of many factors, such as water-to-cement (w/c) ratio, content of silica fume, and air content, were inv

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hårdvara och algoritmer för ett inbyggt videoövervakningssystem presenteras i denna avhandling. För att verifiera systemet så har en prototyp byggts.The demands on video surveillance systems are rapidly increasing regarding parameters such as frame rate and resolution. Furthermore, with an ever increasing number of video streams, an automated process for extracting relevant information is required. Due to the large amount of input data and the computational complexity of the algorithms, software implementations are not sufficient to sustain re

Characterization of soil respiration rates and δ13C values of soil-respired CO2 are often based on measurements at a particular time of day. A study by Gower et al. (2001) in a boreal forest demonstrated diurnal patterns of soil CO2 flux using transparent measurement chambers that included the understory vegetation. It is unclear whether these diurnal patterns were solely the result of photosynthe
