This paper offers a two-zone NOx model suitable for vehicle on-board, on-line implementation. Similar NOx modeling attempts have previously been undertaken. The hereby suggested method does however offer clear and important benefits over the previously methods, utilizing a significantly different method to handle temperature calculations within the (two) different zones avoiding iterative computat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen analyserar sättet på vilket religiösa utsagor förändrats för att passa det moderna samhällets uppfattningar om naturvetenskap, om främmande folks religioner och om individens möjlighet att erhålla religiösa upplevelser. Som empiriskt material används en grupp historiskt och tematiskt besläktade rörelser, från det sena artonhundratalets teosofi fram till dagThe study addresses the question of how religious creativity in the West manages to adapt to the forces of modernity. The empirical data are drawn from a set of historically and thematically related movements, from late nineteenth century theosophy to the contemporary New Age.The dissertation is divided into three main sections. The first serves as a necessary background, presenting a number of th
This chapter discusses several different aspects of the energy balance and physiological homeostasis of incubating birds, ranging from systematic, geographical and life history related variation in energy costs of incubation, to thermal considerations for birds on the nest, links between energy expenditure and fitness, and non-energetic costs of incubation. Our review of the literature shows that,
Spatial data and related technologies, particularly Geographical Information System (GIS) with the capability of display, retrieval, analysis and management of spatial data, have proven crucial for disaster management. However, there are currently different problems with availability, access and usage of spatial data for disaster management. The problems with spatial data become more serious durin
Water is fundamental for life and prerequisite for the realization of numerous human rights. What we do with our water today will have consequences all around the world for generations to come. The draught in northern Africa from the summer of 2011 shows us that water have become a more precious resource then ever before. Many people live on the brink of death because of water shortages and many
This study treats late Jurassic deposits in the Troll field, located 80 km northwest of Bergen. The study is based on well information, published by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, consisting of digital core photos, logs and drilling reports. The investigated wells are located in the Troll Vest field, and consists of wells number 31/2-3, 31/2 -7, 31/2-9 and 31/2-11. The wells illustrate two p
The use of experts is a complicated issue. Experts are needed in democracies in order to make good decisions, but they can at the same time threaten fundamental principles like accountability and equality, of the same democracy. This dilemma arose when the results from OECD’s student assessment from 2012 were published in December 2013. The results showed that Sweden’s results now were below avera
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine how plural organizations use different control methods in order to achieve goal congruence. Methodology: A qualitative case study has been conducted. Theoretical perspectives: The theoretical chapter covers the value-creating business model through a compilation of previous research and theories of result- and action control. Empirical foundation:
Uppsatsen redogör för hur den digitala distributionsformen streaming förhåller sig till gällande rätt och vilka rättigheter upphovsmän och utövande artister har till denna distributionsform. Upphovsrättslagen är en skyddslagstiftning som syftar till att ge skydd åt upphovsmän och utövande artisters prestationer. På senare tid har den upphovsrättsliga lagstiftningen som en följd av det digitaliserThis essay illustrates how the digital distribution method “streaming” interrelates with existing law and which rights authors and performing artists have with this form of distribution. The Swedish Copyright Act is a protective legislation aimed at providing protection for authors' and artists' performances. More recently, as a result of the digitized society, Swedish copyright legislati
Aim: To add to our knowledge concerning the key elements involved in the individual’s experience of growing up with substance abusing parents and the resulting challenges this involved for their own parenthood. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 19 parents who had participated in a mental health intervention programme. All had experienced substance abusing parents in their family of
Cells, the basic units of living organisms, are well delineated and separated from the external environment by membranes. Capable of both enclosing the cellular constituents and allowing exchanges with the outside world, these membranes are only a few nanometers thick. All the membranes in a human body cover an area of a few hectares, but account for only a small part of our mass. To study the dyn
Aim/Purpose The goal of this paper is to examine digital applications used in Swedish schools and whether they fulfill their potential as support for learners. This is done by examining the kinds of feedback they provide and discussing if this feedback supports learning or not. Background The paper targets one aspect regarding which educational apps can be of high value for learners and teachers,
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geologisk bakgrund. För ca 200 miljoner år sedan, vid gränsen mellan tidsperioderna Trias och Jura, var Sverige en del av superkontinenten Pangea. Skåne låg vid kusten av ett större hav som täckte stora delar av Danmark. Klimatet var varmt och fuktigt och detta bidrog i hög grad till att de mer höglänta områdena i nordost vittrade och eroderades. Floder och andA palynological study has been conducted on Late Triassic and Early Jurassic outcrop- and borehole sections of the Höganäs and Rya formations, NW Scania. The diverse and generally well preserved palynomorph assemblages can be divided into three miospore zones: (1) the latest Rhaetian-?Hettangian Transitional interval; (2) the Hettangian Pinuspollenites-Trachysporites Zone; and (3) the Sinemurian C
The purpose of this essay is to examine how bereavement groups in the Church of Sweden work in practice. I have familiarized myself with terms like grief, grief process and grief recovery, to find out what grief is. Grief can be described as a normal response to a loss of any kind. Grief is the pain and suffering which we can experience after a loss. In this phase, a bereavement group can be helpf
The purpose of this paper was to examine how six refugees feel about their situation in Sweden. The method used was a narrative interview technique. The respondents all claimed that they are stigmatised because they are different to Swedes in cultural, religious and behavioural ways. We also examined how they use strategies to avoid stigmatisation. The study showed that all the respondents try to
This thesis takes as its starting-point the different stands on the ever ongoing growth of multinational corporations (MNCs) and its consequences. Two opposing branches of theories, arguing that the establishment of MNCs in developing countries is good respectively bad for these countries, are tested for the aspect of state capacity. A quantitative method is then used to test if there exists such
Coal gasification-based polygeneration (CGP) technology provides an opportunity for China to help to solve the main challenges it is facing in energy sector. On one hand, it can greatly mitigate the conflict of energy demand and supply in China, by generating electricity and co-producing liquid fuel without China's becoming overly dependent on imports, on the other hand, it can dramatically de
The solidarity clause was drafted a year after the terrorist attack in New York in 2001 and was informally further substantialised after the terrorist attack in Madrid in 2004. It became evident that terrorism is also a real and current threat to the Member States of the EU. The solidarity clause is now a part of the Constitutional Treaty (CT), which at the moment is subject to ratification in the
