This paper indentifies the factors that affect the childbearing behaviors for marriage immigrants in Taiwan during 1987 to 2003, measured by individual level data for 87, 798 observations obtained from QLSFS (Quasi-longitudinal Study on Living Status of the Foreign Born Spouses in Taiwan). This survey contains the socio-demographic information for both immigrant women and their native husbands, wh

The purpose of my study was to illustrate the concept of dandelion children by using an adult's description of her childhood. I wanted my study to focus on detailed descriptions of situations, events and feelings; therefore I used a qualitative approach and based my study on the autobiographies of three dandelion children. The questions on which I based my study are: - Are there common themes

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, educators had to conduct emergency online teaching from home. This rapid switch required a lot of individual learning for teachers, even those who had conducted planned online teaching before the health crisis, impacting their effectiveness. As teachers adapted to their digital teaching environments, they faced technical challenges with teaching tools and increasing c

This thesis investigates differences and similarities in the funerary material of Late Bronze Age Cyprus in order to answer questions about a possible uniqueness of the pit/well tombs at the Late Bronze Age harbour city of Hala Sultan Tekke. The thesis also tries to explain why these features stand out as singular, compared to the more common chamber tomb, and the reason for their existence. The t

BACKGROUND: Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is an extrahepatic protein that is dependent on glutamate carboxylation, a vitamin K-dependent process. Its dysfunctional form, desphospho-uncarboxylated-MGP, has been associated with increased arterial calcification and stiffness. The aim of this study was to measure the degree of postoperative carboxylation of MGP and two other Gla proteins in patients schedu

K2[Pt(NO3)4]·Full-size image (<1 K)H2O was prepared from ca 0.4 M solutions of platinum(II) perchlorate in perchloric acid by addition of KHCO3 and KNO3. Its crystal structure was determined from X-ray intensity data collected with a CAD-4 diffractometer. Monochromatic MoKα-radiation was used. The space group is I4/m with Z = 4; a = 7.5277(4) and c = 20.470(3) Å. The refinement converged to R = 0.

Due to their potential environmental risk, the abatement of organic micropollutants from wastewater has gained increasing attention in recent years. This thesis evaluates the use of ozone in Swedish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the incentives for full-scale implementation of organic micropollutant removal.This work is divided into two sections: the first segment comprises quantitative r

This article examines Jerome’s use of bridal and military imagery in his writings to male and female ascetics. The metaphor of the “bride” and the “soldier” had been used in earlier Christianity to describe the Christian identity of the baptized person, and in the writings of Jerome and other fourth-century ascetic writers, these motifs came to be increasingly employed in discourses on the asceticThis article examines Jerome’s use of bridal and military imagery in his writings to male and female ascetics.

Every Sunday, sermons are delivered in over a thousand churches within the Church of Sweden. In each of them, theology is not just applied but also ”done”, or formulated. Using the concept of “theologizing” and building on theories from two professors in homiletics, David Schnasa Jacobsen and Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, this thesis empirically investigates in what ways preachers in the Lutheran Church

Prefekten informerar • Medarbetarsamtalen är i full gång. Det är mycket roligt och inspirerande att ha dessa samtal med er. Det känns värdefullt att få en bättre insikt i vad ni gör, hur ni själva ser på ert arbete och vad ni vill göra, både i det kortare och i ett lite längre tidsperspektiv. • Förändringar i institutionsstyrelsen. Morten Klemme Nielsen önskade för en tid sedan att bli entledigad

Popular science Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a versatile group of non-methane hydrocarbons (chemical compounds made of carbon and hydrogen) emitted by vegetation. The most common BVOCs from plants are some chemical compounds like isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. BVOCs are involved in plant growth, reproduction and defense mechanisms. Besides, BVOC play an important rol

Ray Bradbury is one of the most influential American writers within speculative fiction. Critics has mostly focused on his science fiction novels, but he has a series of books that through nostalgia and fantastical elements have described a part of America, both specific and universal. The three novels Dandelion Wine, Farewell Summer and Something Wicked This Way Comes have together shaped Green T
