Ett grustag vid Fiskarheden, som ligger i nordvästra Dalarna, uppvisar tjocka avlagringar av grovkorniga sediment; en sanduravlagring av så kallad Scott-typ som deponerats i en is-proximal proglacial miljö. Preliminära OSL-dateringar av sandursedimenten tyder på att de är av en pre-Saalian ålder (>200 000 år). Av särskilt intresse här är, förutom dess höga ålder pre-daterande det senaste istidsmaxThe Fiskarheden quarry, situated in NW Dalarna, central Sweden, reveal thick deposits of coarse-grained sediments of Scott type facies association; a sandur deposited in an ice-proximal proglacial environment. Preliminary OSL dating of the sandur sediments suggest that they are of a pre-Saalian age (>200 000 years). Of special interest here is, besides its pre-LGM age, the large-scale and intense

Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan graden av arbetarrörelsens militans i form av strejker och förändringar i anställningstrygghetslagstiftning. Uppsatsen har en teoretisk utgångspunkt i maktresursteorin vilken vi kopplar till fackföreningsrörelserna och deras påverkan på anställningsskyddslagstiftnigen. I en jämförande studie mellan en rad västeuropeiska länder visar vi på att strejkmönster

Interest groups have wide influence in modern society, in particular when it comes to being respondents to remittances from the government. The purpose of this paper is to find out how interest groups in general and RFSL in particular legitimate themselves outwards and my research question hence being: ”How does RFSL legitimize itself outwards as an interest group regarding LGBT-issues?”. The pape

Bridging the gap between understanding work-as-imagined and work-as-done in the perioperative work context represents an important aim of cognitive systems engineering research. Researching this context using a joint cognitive systems theoretical approach can reveal patterns of adaptation that have important implications for system design. Traditional research approaches by non-domain investigator

This study examines how the social movement Refugees Welcome to Malmö managed to mobilize hundreds of volunteers in a short space of time in the autumn of 2015. The movements aim was to help refugees who had arrived at the Central train station in the southern swedish town Malmö with food, clothes and money. Using a theory-testing approach, this paper examines if the theories of framing and of dis

Water is arguably the world’s most valuable endangered resource, the management of which has been subject of contentious debate that in recent years has gained growing political, economic and media attention. This study intends to make use of that momentum by constructing a framework for quantifying global water crisis risk that is applied to assess both the EU’s share of such risk and the success

How is a concept such as digital inclusion perceived by those who, as professionals, teach the skills which promote digital literacy and information literacy? How do instructors at Swedish public libraries understand their part in a process that is designed to enhance digital inclusion? The aim of my study is to understand how public library instructors perceive issues such as these and to uncover

Denna uppsats söker efter en förklaring till uppkomsten av federalism i Afrika vid självständigheten. Konventionella teorier är inte tillräckliga för att förklara detta. En teoretisk öppning återfinns i Ziblatts teori An infrastructural model of federalism. Men även denna teori saknar precision för att förklara varför Nigeria, och inte andra afrikanska länder med tillsynes samma förutsättningar, a

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the possibilities of using Digital Reality (Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality) techniques in the remote handling within the Active Cells Facility at the European Spallation Source. The remote handling within similar environments as the Active Cells Facility has normally been performed using radiation shielding windows. As the operations get more comple

Hedersmord är ett ämne som framkallar starka känslor hos många människor vilket är ett av skälen till att ämnet är omdebatterat. Ämnet har debatterats ur många aspekter: rättsliga, sociala, religiösa, moraliska m.fl. I denna uppsats kommer enbart den straffrättsliga aspekten att avhandlas och analyseras. Inledningsvis är det nödvändigt att definiera heder. Kvinnans sexualitet är central. Trots dHonor killings are a subject that arouses feelings for many people, it is one of the reasons that the subject is very debated. The subject has been debated from many aspects: legal, social, religious and moral these are some of the many aspects. In this essay, however, the legal aspect is analyzed. Firstly it is necessary to define honor. Central is a woman's sexuality, even though it is the
