Den Eurasiska shelfen var under Weichsel istiden täckt av inlandsisar centrerade i Barents och Kara Havet. Kanin Halvön i nordvästra Ryssland upptar en nyckelposition för att registrera de shelfbaserade isarnas passage över till fastlandet. De vidsträckta kvartära blottningarna längs dess nordkust erbjuder en unik möjlighet att studera istäckens fluktuationer och dynamiska beteende. Denna artikeDuring the Weichselian glaciation, ice sheets centred in the Barents and Kara Seas occupied the Eurasian shelf, although their nature and extent have been debated. In NW Russia the Kanin Peninsula occupies a key position for recording the passage of shelf based ice sheets onto the mainland. The extensive Quaternary exposures along its northern coast offer a unique possibility to study ice sheet fl

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kortfattat kan en dator beskrivas som en räknemaskin; i en dator är enheten som utför beräkningarna processorn. I en kvantdator är det enskilda atomer som är ansvariga för beräkningarna. På atomnivå, mikrokosmos, råder andra lagar än i makrokosmos. Dessa lagar sammanfattas i vad som kallas för kvantmekanik. Ett kvantmekaniskt fenomen som utnyttjas i en kvantdator

Title: "Oh how brightly May-sun shines?". I have chosen to write about culture differences in music. My purpose with this study is to unite two music cultures into one piece of art. Through my story and film you can see my attempt to teach a men's choir two songs in ten rehearsals. These songs are very famous Nordic songs and the choir knows them very well. I have changed rhythm and

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the success of theconcept of empowerment in the field of social science can be explained by referring to it as the new paradigm replacing the former paternalistic era. Therefore, I investigate if the character of its history, domicile and practice has the same distinguishing features as the scientific progress. The analysis is based on Thomas Kuhn&#

The purpose of this thesis is to cast light on the residential area Rosengård in Malmö which during the years between 1965 to 1975 was part of a programme known as "Miljonprogrammet", a project which was supposed to put an end to the housing shortages. The purpose of this thesis is also to investigate the social consequences in Rosengård, which arose as a result of Miljonprogrammet. Rose

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate how the single child daughters born under the one-child policy perceive gender equality and their experience of gender equality or inequality in their everyday lives. China, despite today having the world largest population, implemented the one-child policy in 1979 in order to curb the exploding population. As the one-child policy implied, each couple is o

This report is written in cooperation with Brandkonsulten AB in order to develop a user-friendly, flexible and repeatable method for vulnerability analysis to be used in the upcoming hospital Nya Karolinska Solna, NKS. The first steps in the method is to identify parts in the system that is important to preserve, define central functions for these parts, and make up a list of possible undesired e

As a consequence of the information society, smart and specialized IT based system, such as Warehouse Management Systems, have been developed to harness the increasing flow of information. While they are designed to increase the efficiency in the warehouse, the implementation of them requires the warehouse implementing it to adjust to the new environment it creates. This adaption have proven hard

The aim of this study was to examine parents’ experiences of having a child with eating disorders. Specifically the aim was to analyze the parental view on responsibility for nursing and the child’s recovery from the eating disorder, how the child’s eating disorder change and influence the relationships and interactions within the family and how the parents views on themselves have changed with th

This master degree project has had the purpose of designing a chair for small scale serial production in Sweden. Origin has been a big focus point, and the wood has been carefully selected to minimise ecological footprint through transportation of the product. Another focus point has been the complicated process of designing a chair that is unique. The report includes the background of the carpent

The aim of this study was to illustrate viewpoints and arguments in debate articles in Swedish evening – and daily press about opioid substitution therapy the past 12 years. We think that it’s relevant to elucidate the substitution debate, because the vision on drug abuse and it’s causes influence which interventions and method of treatments that are used. And social workers are affected by the de

This postgraduate thesis examines various assumption models for energy usage for water heating used in Sweden. The models are compared with the measured energy use in a number of small apartment buildings. Norway and Finland currently use standard models for energy calculations during the production of new buildings but in Sweden the planners are free to select an appropriate model of their choice

The purpose of this study is to focus on library service for children in a hospital, which in turn is seen in relation to a traditional children s library. Four aspects of library work were investigated. These aspects were working methods, partners of co-operation for the libraries, media policy (acquisition, use of the collection and circulation procedures), as well as programme activities for ch

OBJECTIVES: Sedation and neuromuscular blockade protocols in patients undergoing targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest address patient discomfort and manage shivering. These protocols vary widely between centers and may affect outcomes. DESIGN: Consecutive patients admitted to 20 centers after resuscitation from cardiac arrest were prospectively entered into the International Cardia

Today’s high demand on finding sustainable energy sources, replacing petroleum-based products and the needfor healthier food alternatives have forced us to search for natural recoverable resources and explore their manyhidden applications. One such resource is xylan, which has gained much attention as possible raw material forvarious exploitations. However, its wider industrial application puts de

The extreme environments within the biosphere are inhabited by organisms known as extremophiles. Lately, these organisms are attracting a great deal of interest from researchers and industrialists. The motive behind this attraction is mainly related to the desire for new and efficient products of biotechnological importance and human curiosity of understanding nature. Organisms living in common “h
