En proglacial miljö är en integrerad del av ett glacialt landskap, där smältvattensavlagrade landformer är vanligt förekommande. Deras utseende är beroende av ett antal olika faktorer, så som processer aktiva under transport och deposition samt ursprungsmaterialets karaktär. Denna artikel syftar till att undersöka två terrestra smältvattens-successioner från de terminala delarna av glaciären MyrdaProglacial environments are an integrated part of the glacier landscape, housing a variety of landforms fed by glacier meltwater. Their appearance is dependent on a number of factors, such as the variability of source material and processes active during the transportation and deposition. The present work aims to investigate two such terrestrial outwash successions from the terminus region of the

Seveberggrunden i nordöstra Kebnekaise domineras av amfiboliter och ögongnejser. Detta examensarbete beskriver tektonostratigrafin i två nyckelområden (Nallo och norra Mårma). Seven i nordöstra Kebnekaise korreleras med den övre Seven söderut i Kebnekaise samt norrut mot Abisko och Indre Troms. I specialstudier identifieras moderbergarterna för en nyupptäckt gnejs samt för två typer av ögongnejserThe Seve Nappe Complex in the Kebnekaise Mts. is dominated by metabasites (Kebne Dyke Complex) and mylonitic gneisses. This study describes the tectonostratigraphy in two key areas (Nallo and Mårma) and investigates the origin of a granitic gneiss and two varieties of augen gneiss. The Kebne Dyke Complex consists of thin dark bands of amphibolite in a metagabbro, interpreted to represent dolerite

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Undersökningen baseras på prover ifrån borrkärnor som tagits från sandstenar vilka avsattes för ca 200 miljoner år sedan. Vid denna tid var hela nordvästra delen av Skåne täckt av ett stort delta med en avsättningsmiljö som gav sandstenar med ett stort innehåll av ler. Ler deponerades då det rådde lugna vattenmiljöförhållanden, såsom vid olika årstidsvariationerAn examination of permeability differences was made on plugs obtained from six drill cores in both horizontal and vertical directions, representing different facies of the Hettangian strata from the Höganäs Formation. The permeability analyses distinguish permeability differences from anisotropy and an index was created to evaluate the anisotropy. The cause of the measured anisotropy in this study

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det största oljefältet på land i nordvästra Europa, Schoonebeekfältet i Nederländerna har varit föremål för denna studie. Oljeproduktionen stoppades på grund av att vatten trängt in i oljereservoaren. När vatten under produktionen blandas med olja sker detta på grund av att den existerande flödesmodellen av reservoaren är felaktig. Detta innebar att det blev ekoThe Valanginian (Lower Cretaceous) Bentheim succession of the Schoonebeek field is deposited in a shallow-marine environment along the southern and southwestern coast of the Lower Saxony Basin in eastern Netherlands. Three cores from Schoonebeek field, selected by NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij), and a number of samples from an outcrop in the Bentheim Sandstone at Gildehaus were studied. I

Den underkambriska lagerföljden i Skandinavien utgörs huvudsakligen av ljusa, marint avsatta sandstenar och når i Skåne en mäktighet av ca 120 meter. Två borrkärnor från Skryllebrottet i västra Skåne undersöktes och dokumenterades med avseende på petrografiska egenskaper och mineralinnehåll, samt diagenetiska egenskaper och bakomliggande processer. Lagerföljderna, som representerar hela HardebergaThe Lower Cambrian of Scandinavia consists mainly of light-coloured marine sandstones, with thicknesses reaching approximately 120 m in Skåne (Scania). Two drill cores from the Skrylle Quarry of west-central Skåne were investigated and documented with respect to their petrographic properties, mineral contents, and diagenetic history. The drill cores are divided into three lithofacies, and represen

This paper deals with a structural comparison between three works: the novel The Lady of the Camellias (1848, Alexandre Dumas, fils), the play The Lady of the Camellias (1852, Alexandre Dumas, fils) and the libretto La Traviata (1853, Francesco Maria Piave and Giuseppe Verdi). It is well known that the libretto is based on the Dumas work. Dumas play, in its turn, is based on the novel. My aim was

Uppsatsen behandlar våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer som grund för flyktingstatus i internationell rätt med svensk rätt som exempel på implementeringen i nationell rätt. Våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer förekommer i alla länder, kulturer och samhällsklasser i världen. Den här typen av våld är den vanligaste orsaken till skador hos kvinnor i näst intill alla länder i världen. Det kan vara myckeThe thesis deals with domestic violence as a ground for refugee status in international law, and in Swedish law as an example of the implementation in a national system. Domestic violence against women occurs in all countries, cultures and social classes in the world. This kind of violence is the most common cause of injury of women in close to all countries of the world. It can be very difficult

Uppsatsen undersöker huvudkaraktären Elizabeth Bennet skiljer sig från andra kvinnor i sin samtid när det gäller kvinnoidealet,om hon kan räknas som en tidig feminism och hur hennes syn på äktenskapet är.

The heating of buildings is one of the major consumers of energy in the western world. Despite that several energy-efficient techniques and measures exists which have been proven to be cost-effective they have a hard time to find their way into practice due to barriers within the building sector. This sector is characterized by fragmentation in different stages of the buildings development process

At present there is no health economic model that can fully explain the behaviour of the salaried physician in public health care systems. My purpose is to create a working economic model of the salaried physician in a public health care system. Any model is a simplification of reality and choices have to be made between simplicity and relevance. For this reason I present a sequence of models t

Today there are close to 90 objects of interest in Sweden who are considered a threat to the environment and people’s health. These objects are in the process of being decontaminated within a near future. All together there are 80 000 objects identified and 17 000 of them has been risk classified. According to the Swedish environmental goal “Poison free environment” the most important actions are

The main purpose of this study was to make an initial risk analysis on the probability of antibiotics in biosolids causing adverse effects on agricultural soil environments. The issue on resistance development among bacteria towards antibiotics has also been discussed. Initially, the risk was found to be very high for all of the antibiotics; penicillin, tetracycline, macrolide, quinolone, trimetho

The purpose of this study is to perform an inventory of what kind of waste products the landfill Blentarp contains, as well as risk classifying the landfill. The inventory and risk classification is performed in accordance with the MIFO-method, developed by the Swedish EPA. The landfill Blentarp was in use during 1970-1979 and was registered as a landfill for domestic waste. By studying maps and a

Pharmaceuticals have been gaining environmental attention on a global scale. It is estimated that approximately 4,000 medical compounds are used in the drugs applied today. As middle hand providers, licensed physicians are the third to last representative in the distribution chain of prescription drugs. The aim of this study was to examine if Swedish and Danish physicians consider environmental ef

The significance of horses for future riding therapists The aim of this study was to examine how significant future riding therapists' interaction with horses is for how they come to view the importance of the horse in social adaptive work. The data consisted of 25 riding therapy students' essays, in which they had been instructed to describe the horse's importance to themselves from

The choice of light source is important for eco-efficient lighting. To assess the echoeffectiveness, it is essential to clarify how much and what kind of light you need, for each specific situation. To analyze this it is crucial to understand the need for different wavelengths. The Plasma lamp has a continuous spectrum and gives a relatively high proportion of photons with high energy. In many cri

Background: In order to diagnose children with ADHD, the DSM-IV measures inattention (IA) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI) behavior in the context of significant impairment social and academic function. In order to diagnose, symptoms must be present in two different setting, which is commonly established in terms of home and school behaviors with the help of parent and teacher reports. Previous

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det var en gång... historien om en vulkan. The Dunedin Volcano är belägen utmed östkusten på Nya Zeelands södra ö. Stora delar av både östkusten och de centrala delarna har under de senaste 40 miljoner åren upplevt perioder med intra platt vulkanism orsakad av en temperatur anomali i övre manteln under både Nya Zeelands Sydö och delar av havet öster om. VulkaneThe Portobello Peninsula is made up by volcanic sediments, lava flows and numerous dikes. Deposition of sediments and lava flows is thought be early in the evolution of the Dunedin Volcano. The lava flows of Portobello Peninsula are silica saturated, belonging to a lineage differing from the two major lineages previously inferred to exist in the volcano (Coombs and Wilkinson, 1969). This new linea
