A new carbon isotope record with conodont biostratigraphy is presented for the entire Early Triassic from the Musandam Peninsula, United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is a near-continuous and exclusively shallow marine carbonate succession that allows analysis of a high-resolution primary carbon cycling signature in the absence of significant depth-dependent or lithologic controls. The Musandam carbon

Background: The efficacy of cervical cancer screening programs is dependent on the participation rate. To increase participation among women not attending cervical cancer screening, self-collected samples for detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) may be an option. The aims of this study were: to investigate the response rate to sending a self-collected vaginal sample for hr-HPV mRNA

In polygynous species with biparental care, mates are often acquired in succession. Most research has focussed on the cost of polygyny in secondary females, but primary females may also suffer from reduced paternal care. The likelihood of sharing a male may be higher for early laying females, which could counteract the fitness benefits of breeding early. In this study, we use 12 years of data on p

Detailed diagenetic studies of the late Cambrian Alum Shale in southern Sweden were undertaken across an interval that includes the peak Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion (SPICE) event to evaluate the pyrite mineralization history in the formation. Samples were collected from the Andrarum-3 core (Scania, Sweden); here the Alum was deposited in the distal, siliciclastic mudstone-rich end

The stress intensity factor is investigated for a long plane crack with one tip interacting with a strip of graded elastic material. In the strip the material may have a non uniform modulus of elasticity whereas variation of Poisson’s ratio is ignored. The crack length and the body dimensions are assumed to be large compared to the linear extent of the graded region. The crack tip including the gr

Denna studies syfte var att undersöka upplevelser av empowerment hos deltagare i ett empowerment-projekt för personer i arbetslöshet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tio personer och intervjumaterialet bearbetades genom tematisk analys. Resultatet bildade tio teman: definition av begreppet empowerment, innebörd av empowerment i projektet, likvärdighet mellan deltagare och arbetsledareThe aim of this study was to investigate perceptions and experiences of empowerment among individuals taking part in an empowerment project for people being unemployed. Semistructured interviews were conducted with ten people and analyzed through the usage of thematic analysis. The analysis resulted in ten themes: definition of the concept empowerment, the meaning of empowerment in the present pro

Som en följd av den ökade globala rörligheten har internationella utsändningar kommit att bli allt vanligare. Dessa utsändningar kräver emellertid en effektiv planering och administration, inte minst vad gäller hanteringen av skatter. Inom internationella företag tillämpas ofta en särskild skattekompensationspolicy för att garantera att den anställde vid en utsändning inte erhåller en lägre disponAs a consequence of the global mobility, the number of international assignments has increased over the past years. International assignment programs require an effective planning and administration, especially regarding the management of taxes. Within global companies, a special tax reimbursement policy is often implemented, designed to reimburse an employee for the additional tax cost of a forei
