The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). This bias may influence the derived outputs, such as soil temperature, permafrost ext
I svensk lagstiftning är en samförståndslösning något som eftersträvas och anses vara barnets bästa. På flera ställen i vår lagbok, bland annat i Föräldrabalken och i Socialtjänstlagen, finns regleringar vad domare och socialtjänstemän är skyldiga att göra för att underlätta en samförståndslösning. Även i Norge ses samförståndslösningar som något positivt. Förutom de frivilliga samtalen på socialkIn Sweden, legislation has opened up to focus on finding an amicable solution that is in the best interest of the child. The possibilities of cooperation discussions are found in both the ‘Parental Code’ and the ‘Social Security Act’. Also in Norway, amicable solution is seen as something positive. In addition to the voluntary conversation at the Social Services, Norway also have mandatory mediati
This essay explores how a critical reading of the novel The Grapes of Wrath (1939) can inform teachers when discussing inequality issues in the ESL classroom. The main questions being investigated are how the novel The Grapes of Wrath reveals oppressive and unequal power relationships, and how a critical reading of the novel can be used when teaching and informing others about inequality. In this
Plastic pollution is not a new thing, not a new thing at all. Actually, concern about plastic had been growing date back to 1960s, almost 60 years ago, when the plastic debris in the ocean was first observed, but now the global plastic production is still increasing, as well as the amount of the plastic waste that enters the ocean every year. I knew about plastic pollution since I was a kid -
Popular summary The fate of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs The knowledge about distribution of drugs between sewage sludge, water phases and water living organisms is vital for predictions of the fate and transport routes of toxic substances to the environment. And the distribution of drugs in the environment can be used as a base for risk assessments and it also can be used to define desir
The aim of our study was to examine how the staff at community residences handles the residents’ right and ability to make choices and decisions regarding their health, in relation to their disability. We investigated this through semi-structured interviews. Our population consisted of 7 staff members from 4 different community residences, in 3 municipalities in Skåne, Sweden. We constructed an in
Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed
Utifrån en de lege ferenda-undersökning och med traditionell rättsdogmatisk metod behandlar uppsatsen förhållandet mellan vattenverksamhetsutred-ningen och egendomsskyddet i EKMR. EU ställer hårda krav på vattenkvalitet. Sverige når inte upp till kraven. Den svenska lagstiftningen tillåter särskilda rättigheter och tillstånd givna enligt lagstiftning från början av 1900-talet, trots syftet med tThis essay deals with the relations between EU human rights law and Swedish environmental law. EU law sets strict demands on the quality of water in all their member states. Sweden has not succeeded with these requirements. The Swedish system allows permit for water operations that was given according to laws from the beginning of the 20th century. The purpose of the laws then was to explore the h
We were interested in catalogers as human beings and in their reaction to a changed working situation. In the light of the changes which have been made at the libraries during the nineties, we investigated why the very group catalogers reacted with an intense and engaged open debate at the same time as librarians with special competence didn t seem to react in this way. The open debate about the c

Title: Food on medieval and early modern castles The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the food that was eaten on Scandinavian castles from the late Middle ages and the early modern period. This is done from a power perspective, to see if the nobility that lived on the castles used food to manifest their power. What kind of food did the nobility eat to differ from common people? The way the foo
Våldtäktsbestämmelsen har varit föremål för flera stora reformer, bland annat införandet av frivillighetsrekvisitet 1 juli 2018. Denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka tolkningen av frivillighetsrekvisitet där den tilltalade och målsäganden har en bakgrund av tidigare sexuell kontakt. Studien fokuserar särskilt på hur domstolarna använder information om parternas agerande före, under och efter den aktuThe regulation on rape in Sweden has been subject to several major reforms, including the introduction of the requirement of voluntariness on 1st of July 2018. This essay aims to examine the interpretation of the voluntariness re-quirement in cases where the defendant and the plaintiff have a history of pri-or sexual contact. The study mainly focuses on how the courts use infor-mation about the pa
I 6 kap 2 a § FB stadgas att barnets bästa ska vara avgörande för alla beslut kring vårdnad, boende och umgänge. I barnkonventionen artikel 3 stadgas att ett barnperspektiv ska tillämpas i alla beslut som rör barn. Reglerna om barnets bästa är allmänt hållna för att kunna möjliggöra en individuell bedömning i varje enskilt fall. Ansvaret för att barnets bästa beaktas hamnar alltså slutligen hos do
OBJECTIVES: Inhibitors of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-degrading enzyme, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), are being explored in the treatment of diabetes. We examined the long-term influence of a selective, orally active inhibitor of DPPIV (NVP DPP728), in normal female C57BL/6J mice and such mice rendered glucose-intolerant and insulin-resistant by feeding a high-fat diet. DESIGN: In mice
Enzymatic degradation of model cellulose films prepared by a spin-coating technique was investigated by ellipsometry. The cellulose films were prior to degradation characterized by ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, ESCA (electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis) and AFM (atomic force microscopy). At enzyme addition to preformed cellulose films an initial adsorption was observed, which w
It is becoming increasingly evident that single-locus effects cannot explain complex multifactorial human diseases like cancer. We applied the multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method to a large cohort study on gene-environment and gene-gene interactions. The study (case-control nested in the EPIC cohort) was established to investigate molecular changes and genetic susceptibility in rela
Aim The controls of gross radiation use efficiency (RUE), the ratio between gross primary productivity (GPP) and the radiation intercepted by terrestrial vegetation, and its spatial and temporal variation are not yet fully understood. Our objectives were to analyse and synthesize the spatial variability of GPP and the spatial and temporal variability of RUE and its climatic controls for a wide ran
Abstract: The composition of the major storage protein, hordein, in wild barley species has been studied by using gel electrophoresis, Coomassie staining, and immunoblot assays. We have shown earlier that it is possible to obtain cross-reaction outside the cultivated barley, with monoclonal antibodies raised against hordeins from the barley cultivar Bomi. These antibodies have now been used to inv
The dynamics of particle formation were investigated for a diffusion-like ethylene flame containing a cooling metal plate on which particles condensed. Small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering techniques were combined to follow size- and structural changes of the soot particles using a new detector. The high dynamic range allowed continuous monitoring from the gas to the condensed phase of the
