In forensics, identifying and comparing DNA is common practice. One way to analyse DNA is through high-resolution DNA melting. When melting DNA experimentally, the rate of a given sequence of DNA denaturing from its double-helix form into two separate strands is measured as a function of temperature. In this thesis, the application of high-resolution DNA melting analysis to distinguish individual
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur tekniska och manuella kontrollåtgärder samverkar med mänsklig erfarenhet och professionella bedömningar i arbetet mot narkotikasmuggling i södra Sverige.

Meteoritnedslag har spelat en grundläggande roll som ytmodifierande processer på jorden och andra himlakroppar. De har haft stor betydelse för omstruktureringen av jordskorpan, bassängbildning samt bildan- det av magmatisk och hydrotermal aktivitet. Av de cirka 200 nedslagsstruktur som identifierats på jorden har de flesta bildats på land, medan betydligt färre exemplar finns bevarade från marina Impact cratering has played a fundamental role as a surface modifying process on Earth and other celes- tial bodies. It has significantly influenced crustal reshaping, basin formation and the development of magmatic ac- tivity and hydrothermal systems. Of the roughly 200 impact structures that have been identified on Earth, the ma- jority occurred on land, with significantly fewer known examples p
