A cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) is used to study the ability of aerosol particles to serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) depending on their size, chemical composition and the ambient water super saturation. In this study, the new operation mode Scanning Flow CCN Analysis (SFCA) was evaluated for the Continuous-Flow Streamwise Thermal-Graident Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter from
The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate theological and architectural currents, which have directly come to influence the pulpit in churches built since the 1950s. I have limited my presentation to include Swedish churches only. More specifically, I describe four prominent architects, and their design and placement of the pulpit.

Previous research has shown that irradiation in-utero or during early childhood may cause longlasting damage. Studies on the Chernobyl accident have found that all birth groups which received high doses of radiation in early life may have severe persisting disadvantage in health. However, we do not know which of the groups irradiated in early life was the most vulnerable. We also do not know wheth

Mäns våld mot kvinnor är idag ett stort globalt samhällsproblem som inte uppmärksammandes på allvar förrän 1990-talet. En förklaring till att det råder kvinnomisshandel, beror på den obalans som råder i maktförhållandet mellan kvinnor och män. Våld som sker i parrelationer kan förekomma bland alla sociala grupper och är oberoende av miljön. Studien ämnar studera den internaliseringsprocess som kvi

Att glömma något vi vill minnas är irriterande, men glömska för oviktig information kan hjälpa oss att minnas det som är relevant. Studier om glömska på grund av att gammal och irrelevant information stör den information som ska återkallas (proaktiv interferens, PI) har visat att man kan reducera interferens genom att introducera ny information som skiljer sig från den gamla, och på så sätt förbätForgetting what we want to remember is irritating, but forgetting unimportant information can help us remember what is relevant. Studies of forgetting due to older, irrelevant information interfering with what needs to be recalled (proactive interference, PI) have shown that interference can be reduced by introducing new information that is different to the previous, helping memory for this materi

Information management in construction projects is all about communicate the information, to file the document to make it available and to verify that the information is correct. Improving the information management in a project and between different projects will reduce the problems and the costs of it. To succeed with the information management the chain of information must remain unbroken from
