The 2.44 Ga Koillismaa intrusion of the Koillismaa-Näränkävaara Layered Complex, in northeastern Finland, has been studied in order to assess the formation processes involved during platinum-group element (PGE) mineralization. The layered series is host to the reef-type mineralization called Rometölväs Reef, and the marginal series contains contact-type mineralization. This MSc-project, besides gi

Informationsspridare, granskare av makten eller förutsättningen för den fria åsiktsbildningen är nyckelbegrepp som ofta beskriver lokaljournalistiken (Nord och Strömbäck 2012:17). Men vad händer när bilden av vad journalistiken borde vara, på ett eller flera plan kolliderar med verkligheten? Uppsatsen undersöker vad som formar lokaljournalistik enligt fyra skånska journalister.Vi har intervjuat f

This project is a proposal for structural construction through fabrication and assembly of 3D-printed ceramic bricks developed side by side with a metaphysical investigation into the potential to express the living nature of matter through its material and formal attributes. Through an explorative process in the intersection of craft and digital fabrication, we have developed a system for LDM extr

I den här uppsatsen presenteras en undersökning av tre översättningar och en moderniserad bearbetning av den amerikanska barnboksklassikern Trollkarlen från Oz av L. Frank Baum. Syftet har varit att studera hur de fyra måltextversionerna skiljer sig åt i fråga om läsbarhet och källtexttrogenhet. För att studera läsbarheten användes ett antal kvantitativa textmått för att mäta texternas språkliga u

In order to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels it is of paramount importance that renewable sources are used as effectively as possible. Therefore it is necessary to store excess energy when supply is higher than de-mand. One way to do so is by storing the energy as compressed air in a porous aquifer. The Lund Sandstone in the Kyrkheddinge area, Skåne, southern Sweden, has previously been inv

The intensifying global race for talent increases the need of efficient policies and tools aimed at attracting and retaining highly-skilled individuals from around the world.

On the basis of the Grubel-Lloyd index, the study finds out that more than half of the SSA tradi

Mot ett säkrare slutförvar för framtida generationer En förutsättning för att det kommande slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle ska fylla sin uppgift är att alla barriärer som ska förhindra att radioaktivitet läcker ut till omgivningen fungerar under mycket lång tid. En av de viktigaste barriärerna är bentonitleran som ska omge det inkapslade bränslet. Den viktigaste egenskapen hos leran är att denThis report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on
