The Kenyan central rift has witnessed dramatic climatic changes over relatively short periods of time in response to global climatic changes, with the water levels of the lakes within the rift rising and falling with these changing conditions. There is considerable evidence showing extreme wet and dry phases throughout their existence. These wet and dry phases also influenced the vegetation cover,
The essay, The New Clothes of Death is about the funeral customs in Sweden from a culture-historical perspective with an ethnological touch. The essay deals with our present day relation to death and how this can be transformed to the dead person. The questions are highlighted with observations from two funerals, one cremation and, studies of the cemetery environment and the culture of the graves.
Skuldsaneringsinstitutet kom till för att hjälpa överskuldsatta människor att lösa sina ekonomiska problem när det till synes inte fanns någon annan utväg. Den första svenska skuldsaneringslagen tillkom år 1994 för att möta de behov som bankkrisen under början av 1990-talet hade skapat. Efter det har skuldsaneringsförfarandet utvecklats och förenklats, och förra året kom den tredje versionen av skThe institute of debt reconstruction was founded as a last resort to help people who are heavily in debt to get their finances in order. The first law of debt reconstruction was founded in 1994 to meet the needs created by the banking crisis in the early 1990’s. After that the debt reconstruction procedure has evolved and simplified, and last year came the third version of the law of debt reconstr
Felaktiga domar sker i både Sverige och andra stater. Detta trots att straffprocessen innehåller starka krav på rättssäkerhet så som oskyldighetspresumtionen och rätten att inte bli lagförd två gånger för samma sak. Den senare principen hänger ihop med regeln om att när en dom inte längre kan överklagas får den rättskraft, innebärande att fallet inte får prövas igen i ny rättegång. Alla ordinära rWrongful convictions happen both in Sweden and other countries, even though the criminal justice system is filled with principles regarding the rule of law, such as the presumption of innocence and the right not to be tried or punished twice. The latter is closely linked with the general rule that once a verdict no longer can be appealed, it enjoys legal force (prejudice), meaning the case cannot
Övervikt och fetma hos barn och ungdomar i Sverige har ökat de senaste decennierna. Flera studier visar att om tidig övervikt och fetma hos barn inte får möjlighet till behandling är prognosen dålig till att de kan bli normalviktiga i vuxen ålder. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva distriktssköterskans erfarenheter av att arbeta med barns övervikt och fetma inom barnhälsovården. Metoden
Om en moder uppsåtligen dödar sitt barn vid födseln eller under vissa förutsättningar efteråt, döms hon för brottet barnadråp. Det innebär att hennes gärning får ett lägre straff än vad som annars blivit fallet vid uppsåtligt dödande. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka bakgrunden till införandet av bestämmelsen om barnadråp och kritiskt analysera om denna särreglering är nödvändig i gällandIf a mother deliberately kills her child at birth or under certain conditions afterwards, she is convicted of the crime infanticide. This means that her deed will be punished with a lower penalty than otherwise in cases of intentional killing. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the background to pass the crime infanticide in law and critically analyze whether this special regulation is n
The kinetics of the catalytic conversion of ortho- to parahydrogen was studied for the two catalysts, IONEX® and OXISORB®. The study also involved the optimization of an experimental technique for the conversion of orthohydrogen in a static setup. The main focus of the optimization being directed towards the analytical setup, where the acquisition of information and interpretation of the data were
Small molecules, and their fragmentation to smaller constituents upon excitation, are often used to understand how the bonds in a molecule are formed and how they break. One of such widely studied model molecule is CO2. This study aims at extending the knowledge of dissociation of carbon dioxide by measuring also the negatively charged fragments. In addition, these anions are linked to positive io
Accurate quantitative protein analysis is crucial to identify proteins that are differentially abundant between samples, to provide clues about disease mechanisms or act as biomarkers. However, in most workflows, proteins are digested to peptides, and the resulting peptides are quantified as proxies for proteins. No consensus method for going from peptide to protein level quantification exist, and
With the rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry the demand for power has also increased. ICT tends to play a significant role in global greenhouse gas emissions. It was responsible for 10% of world’s total energy consumption in 2010 and is doubling in every 10 years [1]. Cellular networks are among the main energy consumers in the ICT field. To have an environ
Although topology optimization is a powerful tool for generating the most beneficial material distribution of a loaded structure, it has yet to become a part of the design engineer’s work at Saab Aeronautics. With a newly developed software tool which focuses on the concept phase design, there are hopes that its use can allow the design engineer to generate as optimal concepts as possible early in
The purpose of the report has been to investigate the risks of stove fires. Consideration has been given to the likelihood that the incident leads to fire and how dangerous the smoke is for people still in the space. To answer the questions, two different methods have been used, statistical analysis and practical experiments. The conclusion is that it is unlikely that a fire will occur unless ther
Additiv tillverkning, eller 3d Printing, är en teknik i sin barndom. Den har sina rötter tillbaka i 1980-talet när den först var uppfunnen. Sedan dess har mer och mer utveckling gjort inom området och användandet av 3d utskrifter för tillverkningsindustrin ökar kontinuerligt. 3d utskrivning började som ett verktyg för prototyptillverkning i utvecklingsstadiet men har nu vuxit och används nu i högt
Today, transistors with 20 nanometer (nm) channel length are in mass production and many researchers believe that we are reaching a limit with downsizing conventionally used silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) [1]. To keep up with the trend of making the transistor smaller, new channel materials are studied, and graphene has come into the spotlight. Graphene became
A streaming video reconstruction system is described and implemented as a convolutional neural network. The system performs combined 2x super-resolution and H.264 artefacts removal with a processing speed of about 6 frames per second at 1920×1080 output resolution on current workstation-grade hardware. In 4x super-resolution mode, the system can output 3840×2160 video at a similar rate. The base s
Bakgrund: Att vara involverad i sin närståendes vård i livets slut är en önskan för många närstående. Emellertid har flera studier som undersöker vårdpersonalens upplevelser visat att involveringen av närstående inte en självklar del av vården. För att kunna involvera närstående i vården i livets slut är det viktigt att veta vad delaktighet innebär. Syftet med denna studie var därför att beskriva
Denna uppsats undersöker i vilken utsträckning oljebolaget Royal Dutch Shell kan ses som en nutida kolonisatör i Nigeria. Uppsatsen utvecklar tidigare forskning om nutida kolonialism med en idealtyp framställd utifrån ursprunglig kolonialism. Med utgångspunkt i idealtypens indikatorer för ett historiskt kolonialt beteende beskådas Shells nutida verksamhet och agerande i Nigeria. Områden som unders
Though previously viewed as little more than entertainment, video games have gained much recognition as an art form within recent years, slowly taking their place amongst established media such as literature and films. However, such is not the case within the second language classroom, where video games are vastly ignored in favour of other media. This in spite of research showing the benefits of
Asylrätten och vem som ska ha rätt till asyl i Sverige är ett högaktuellt ämne som har präglat den politiska debatten under de senaste åren. För närvarande avser den svenska regleringen vara konform med EU:s minimiregler, vilket innebär att endast den som beviljats status som flykting eller alternativt skyddsbehövande har rätt till asyl i Sverige, förutsatt att tillämpningen inte strider mot SveriThe right of asylum and who is entitled to asylum have been debated topics in Swedish politics during the past years. At the current time the right of Asylum in Sweden intends to be adapted to the minimum standards of the European Union, meaning that those who have been granted refugee status or alternatively status as in need of protection shall be granted asylum, given that this interpretation d
Remediating petroleum contaminated soil is a big task. Ex situ methods involve digging up, transporting, remediating and returning contaminated soil which is expensive and environmentally hazardous. Therefore in situ methods of soil remediation are being developed. However, these methods require some form of validation. Due to soil being a complex below ground matrix with large biological and phys
