Calibration is an important _eld and is used everywhere from education, research and industry. Every electrical equipment has to be calibrated during manufacturing and even over time as it is worn down. The purpose of calibration is to come as close as possible to the true value. The question is how close is close enough and how close is possible? Because even the equipment used for calibration ne

LIDAR-data från mätstationen Polly, som är en del av Arrhenius-laboratoriet och belägen på Stockholms universitets tak, används för att bestämning av planetära gränsskiktshöjden. För detta ändamål användes en stabil ”wavelet covariance transform” metod för analys av LIDAR-datasignalerna från åren 2011-2012. Endast molnfria dagar med högtrycks- förhållande är med i undersökningen för att minska mänLIDAR data from the Polly system on the roof of the Arrhenius laboratory at Stockholm University are used to determine the planetary boundary layers (PBL) height distribution. To this end, a wavelet covariance transform method is employed to analyze LIDAR measured data signals from the years 2011-2012. Only data with high pressure cloud free condition are used to reduce “bad” data. The main result

Popular Abstract in English Parkinson’s disease is the second common neurological disease whose major clinical symptom is progressive impairment in the ability to control the body movements. The symptoms are mainly caused by the gradual loss of dopamine producing neurons in a very specific part of the brain, termed substantia nigra. Although there exist some drug and surgical therapies, those mosParkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Since the motor manifestations of the disease is associated with the loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, cell replacement therapy is a promising approach for treatment. Although several different cell types have been used in clinical trials, with the recent findings of somatic cell nuclear tr

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are challenging as they represent a morphologically and genetically heterogeneous groups of tumors. A multitude of genetic changes, often in the form of fusion genes, were recognized during the 1980's and now constitute a diagnostic lexicon in several STS subtypes, whereas many of the more common subtypes are genetically complex without distinct alterations. Refined STS

We consider the possibility of measuring the true width of the narrow Fe II optical lines observed in spectra of the Weigelt blobs in the vicinity of eta Carinae. The lines originate as a result of stimulated amplification of spontaneous emission of radiation in quantum transitions between energy levels showing inverted population [Johansson, S., Letokhov, V., 2002. JETP Lett. 75 (10) 495; Johanss

This study compares the effectiveness of teaching the calculation of frontal plane QRS axis with the use of the classical versus the orderly electrocardiographic limb lead display. Eighty-three students from two environments were randomized into two groups and were taught to determine frontal plane axis with one of the methods. The accuracy and time to determine the axis were tested on 10 electroc

Roasted cassava roots flour is part of a common meal in Africa, it is known as rale in Mozambique. Fifty six samples of rale were collected from homes and markets in Inhambane Province, Mozambique, for cyanogenic potential (CNp) analyses. The names of cassava varieties used for preparing the rale samples could be determined in the home-collected samples, three varieties were recorded. Xinhembwe va

Advancing the understanding of the aerosol-capture efficiencies of forest components such as leaves and needles, and of the mechanisms that underpin these efficiencies, is essential to the many related issues of forest turnover of nutrients and pollutants. For idealized collectors (such as artificial plates or cylinders) aerosol-mechanics offers a means for calculating capture efficiencies. For li

This project explored the usage and effectiveness of a natural water filtration system using xylem from Picea Abies, or Norway Spruce. The project is concentrated on the region of southeast and south Asia where people suffer from water contamination, providing a concept of a water filter with comprehensive protection against waterborne diseases. The study implemented secondary research on product

Under sin tid som kommunstyrelsens ordförande i Göteborgs Stad pekade Ann-Sofie Hermansson ut två muslimska aktivister som extrema politiska aktörer på sin personliga blogg. Efter att kvinnorna väckt enskilt åtal mot Hermansson för grovt förtal följde en rättsprocess som avslutades i och med Hovrätten för Västra Sveriges dom där Hermansson friades. I hovrättens avgörande ställs frågan om vad som äDuring her time as chairman of the City Executive Board of Gothenburg, Ann-Sofie Hermansson posted claims about two muslim activists on her blog, calling the activists extremist political actors. Due to this the activists commenced private prosecution against Hermansson for gross defamation, The legal process that followed ended with the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden's ruling where Herman

Climate change is happening, right now. Its effects will become more pervasive in our daily lives, and it is part of our task as urban designers to explore how to adapt our cities and communities. One of the places which has been at the forefront of climate resilience from centuries until nowadays is the Netherlands, especially regarding water management, sea level rise and flooding. In fact, Ams

Denna studies avsikt var att bidra till integrationen mellan personlighetspsykologi och kognitiv psykologi genom att undersöka vilka personlighetsfaktorer som potentiellt kan vara särskilt utsatta för kognitiva biases. 380 respondenter deltog i undersökningen genom en enkät, som bestod av självskattningsfrågor på Bias Blindspot Scale, Confirmation bias scale (Confirmation Inventory: CI), CorresponThe aim of this study was to contribute to the integration between personality psychology and cognitive psychology by studying which factors of personality that could potentially be particularly prone to cognitive biases. A total of 380 participants completed an online survey consisting of a Bias Blindspot Scale, Confirmation Bias Scale (Confirmation Invertory: CI), Correspondence Bias (NED-scale)

Skogsbruket utgör en ekonomisk tillgång för enskilda skogsägare. Samtidigt spelar skogen en central roll för bevarandet av den biologiska mångfalden, då den fungerar som livsmiljö för många skyddsvärda arter. Artskyddsförordningen (2007:845) innehåller bestämmelser om fridlysning av vissa djur- och växtarter. Fridlysningsbestämmelserna kan inverka på skogsägarens frihet att bruka skogen genom att Forestry serves as a valuable economic resource for individual forest owners. Simultaneously, forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity by providing habitats for protected species. The Swedish Species Protection Ordinance (2007:845) contains provisions aimed at safeguarding these species, which can restrict forest owners' freedom to use their properties through prohibiting logging

In this thesis, emphasise is on the positive impact companies that can have on the fulfilment of human rights. Regarding human rights and business, one can mainly read about companies' violations of human rights. In my opinion, this negative approach will not stimulate them to improve their policies and performances. A more positive approach can be a motivation for companies to take the opport
