This study investigates the impact of beach sediment supply on dune volume evolution through data analysis and model simulations of the Kennemer dunes in the Netherlands. A cross-shore sediment transport model (the CS-model) is applied with local time-averaged longshore sediment transport gradients derived from bathymetric and topographic observations. The model is used to study the relative impor
Two separate topics in the area of colloidal chemistry have been investigated by the use of molecular modeling: the structural properties of polyion?macroion complexes and of diblock polyampholyte brushes. The main results were obtained by the use of Monte Carlo simulation in the framework of the primitive model, and in the case of polyampholyte brushes the simulation results were also complemente
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fem delarbeten. De första tre delarbetena består av 1) olika metoder att nå anhöriga till alkoholister för information om tillgängligt stöd, 2) könsskillnader hos partners till alkoholmissbrukare när det gäller psykiska symptom, upplevelser av utsatthet och copingstrategier när det gäller bemötandet av missbrukaren och i hanteringen av missbrukssiThis thesis concerns relatives of alcoholics. The aims were to investigate relatives’ situation concerning hardship, coping behaviour and psychiatric wellbeing. Two different information techniques (one standardized technique and one individually adjusted technique) were compared in order to reach relatives of alcoholics for information of available support. No significant differences were found i
In contemporary muscle-computer interfaces for upper limb prosthetics there is often a trade-off between control robustness and range of executable movements. As a very low movement error rate is necessary in practical applications, this often results in a quite severe limitation of controllability; a problem growing ever more salient as the mechanical sophistication of multifunctional myoelectric
Spectrally resolved ultraviolet (UV) absorption cross sections of SO2 in combustion environments at temperatures from 1120 to 1950 K were measured for the first time in well-controlled conditions through applying broad band UV absorption spectroscopy in specially designed one-dimensional laminar flat flames. The temperature was observed to have a significant effect on the absorption cross-section
Macrophages contribute in the initiation and progression of insulitis during type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the mechanisms governing their recruitment into the islets as well as the manner of retention and activation are incompletely understood. Here, we investigated a role for macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and its transmembrane receptor, CD74, in the progression of T1D. Our data i
Objective Neighbourhood deprivation is a recognised predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD). The overall aim was to investigate if accumulated exposure to neighbourhood deprivation resulted in higher odds of CHD. Design This is a longitudinal cohort study. Models based on repeated assessments of neighbourhood deprivation as well as single-point-in-time assessments were compared. Setting Sweden.
Up until the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and probably since the introduction of agriculture to Sweden, the social life, culture, traditions, building patterns and material culture would largely have been based on agricultural practices. And yet, in the archaeological record, agricultural aspects of social life remain elusive and little is known about the organization of farming an
Weaponry and color badges are commonly theorized to function as visual signals of aggressiveness or fighting ability. However, few studies have supported a signaling function of weaponry, and the role of color in invertebrate competitive interactions remains virtually unexplored. Jumping spiders (Salticidae) make excellent invertebrate models for studying weaponry and color because males of many s
I svensk förvaltningsrätt har den generella rätten att överklaga sedan lång tid varit öppet formulerad i lag och lämnats till domstolarna att konkretisera. I praxis har talerätten gjorts beroende av indikationer i lag och förarbeten för att avgöra vilka intressenter som ska ha rätt att överklaga. Tre grunder för saklegitimation kan urskiljas. För det första är den som haft partsställning vid myndiIn Swedish administrative procedural law the right to appeal has long been regulated in a manner which has left it to the courts to decide the specifics. In practice who has the right to appeal has been determined by viewing the law in conjunction with the preparatory works established in its creation. Three different bases for standing can be identified. First and foremost the addressee of a deci
Bli min vän! En studie om e-handlares relationsbyggande på Facebook Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka om e-handlare arbetar med relations-marknadsföring på Facebook på ett likvärdigt sätt som individer upprätthåller en vänskapsrelation i samma kanal. Metod: Antar ett tolkande perspektiv, en innehållsanalys och kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer tillämpas. Slutsats: RelationsmarBe my friend! A study about e-tailers relationship building on Face-book Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate whether e-tailers are working with relationship marketing on Facebook in an equivalent manner as individuals maintain a friendship in the same channel. Methodology: Assuming an interpretive perspective, a content analys and qualitative semi-structured interviews has been appl
I Sverige berörs 200 barn per år av att en förälder utvisas ur landet. Barn har en del rättigheter dels genom vissa bestämmelser som finns i svenska lagar som FB, SOL och UtlL men även i EKMR och barnkonventionen. Möjligheterna att utesluta utvisning i ett mål kring utvisningsfrågan på grund av brott där utlänningen har barn i riket finner man främmst i 8kap 11§ UtlL. Denna lagändring infördes eftIn Sweden there are 200 children every year which is affected by a parent will be expelled from the country. Children have some rights partly through provisions in Swedish law such as FB, SOL and UtlL but also in EKMR and the child convention. The possibilities of limiting deportation order when the alien has children in the country are found mainly in the aliens act 8 chapters 11§. This provision
Bangladesh is located in a danger area of the World. The geographical location makes the country vulnerable for tropical cyclones and other hazards. An increasing number of natural disasters such as floods, storms, and tropical cyclones, always keep the coastal people in a worst condition. Bangladesh government is not always fully successful in recovering the situation and gives a sustainable live
This report summarizes the conclutions of a Master Thesis at Lund University (LTH) in cooperation with Scania CV AB R & D during the fall of 2010 and winter 2011. The mission is to improve the eating and writing ability (EWA) in truck cabs. A EWA offers truck driver to eat and write inside the cab. A EWA can for example be a countertop, a full table or a simple cup holder. There is great pote
Abstract Host genes for resistance to pathogens and parasites have been a subject of long-term research efforts and continue to be a hot subject in biology. Many important theories have been hypothesized through the years, and they are now being complemented by new and more detailed ones leading to increased understanding of the complex dynamics between host life history strategies and the select
This comparative thesis investigates in what ways municipal detailed planning of three train station areas considered perceived safety. It further examines how strengths and weaknesses in each case’s perceived safety methodology can be understood through established planning models/concepts and existing academic research on Swedish perceived safety planning. Finally, the study concludes how future
En oskriven men samtidigt stark princip inom den svenska försäkringsrätten är produktfrihetsprincipen. I korthet föreskriver principen att det är försäkringsbolagets prerogativ att fritt få utforma sin produkt. Den här friheten följer dock inte helt oväntat med en rad begränsningar, i den här uppsatsen undersöks några av de framför allt försäkringsrättsliga lagregler som inverkar på den här frihet
