The work presented in this thesis can be divided into the three following fields of investigation: First of all the ionization model developed in this thesis is meant to simulate the thermal ionization process or the so-called second peak. Equilibrium assumptions have been adopted for the modeling of the thermal ionization, in which Saha’s equation was derived for singly ionized molecules. The inv

The World Health Assembly is the WHO’s supreme decision-making body and consists of representatives from the 194 WHO Member States who take formal decisions on the WHO’s policies, workplan and budget. The event is also attended by representatives of non-governmental organisations, the private sector, the press and even members of the public.

BACKGROUND: Global inequalities in access to health care are reflected in differences in cancer survival. The CONCORD programme was designed to assess worldwide differences and trends in population-based cancer survival. In this population-based study, we aimed to estimate survival inequalities globally for several subtypes of childhood leukaemia.METHODS: Cancer registries participating in CONCORD

Sexhandel förekommer i alla kulturer och samhällen. Trots det har detta område visat sig vara nästintill omöjligt att på ett oproblematiskt vis integrera i länders lagstiftning. En konvergent lagstiftning mellan olika områden är grundläggande för att ett lands rättssystem ska fungera. Sexhandeln är ett politiskt, moraliskt och ideologiskt ämne vilket medför komplikationer när lagstiftningsarbete kSex work occurs in all cultures and societies. Nevertheless, this area has proved almost impossible to integrate into a countries’ legislation in an unproblematic way. Convergent legislation between different areas is fundamental for the functioning of a country’s legal system. The sex trade is a political, moral and ideological subject, which entails complications when legislative work on the sub

Genom bestämmelserna om processuell edition i 38 kap. rättegångsbalken kan en part i ett tvistemål få tillgång till en handling av bevisbetydelse som innehas av motparten eller tredje man. Denna så kallade editionsplikt uppställer flera bifallsförutsättningar.

The obligation to produce a document requires that the document is identified, in the possession of the respondent, of judicial significance and that it can be assumed to be of importance as evidence. In addition, so

This essay examines the extent to which notions concerning gender structures manifest themselves in the swedish Discrimination Act (SFS 2008:567), by analyzing how the concept of gender is constructed in its preparatory legal work Proposition 2007/08:95 Ett starkare skydd för diskriminering. The area of study is restricted to section 5.2 of the Discrimination Act; transgender identity or expressio

We have chosen four countries to examine: the United Kingdom, Mexico, China and Iran from different economic worlds. We would like to inve

This study sets out to investigate the non-diegetic music in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014) in order to highlight its implicit narrative functions and meanings. The theoretical approach consists of semiotic concepts such as ‘Cognitive denotative’ and ‘Cognitive connotative’ functions by Emilio Audissino, ‘Myth’ and ‘Anchorage’ by Barthes as well as Claudia Gorbman’s ‘Connotative Cueing’.

I denna uppsats har psykiskt störda lagöverträdares ansvarsförutsättningar i svensk- respektive dansk rättsordning undersökts. Sveriges val, att i samband med brottsbalkens införande 1965, avskaffa tillräknelighetsbestämmelserna, har genom åren mött en hel del kritik. Uppsatsen avser att besvara frågan kring huruvida ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit bör återinföras i svensk lagstiftning eller ej. DåThis thesis examines the conditions of liability for mentally disturbed offenders in the legal systems of Sweden and Denmark. Sweden’s decision to abolish the insanity defense provisions upon the introduction of the Penal Code in 1965 has faced considerable criticism over the years. This study aims to address whether a legal requirement for criminal accountability should be reintroduced into Swedi

“Netflix and chill?” It has been 10 years since this phrase has become an innuendo for casual sex. Netflix has become a streaming titan with over 300 million subscribers. The success of Netflix owes much to its original contents emphasising the competitive edge. Netflix categories its soft-core porn titles as Steamy Movies on the platform and even has an established category code for the genre, 11

Elementary particles and their interactions are successfully described by the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). However, it has been observed that extensions Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) are required to account for a large part of yet undiscovered particles and interactions, such as Dark Matter (DM).To advance the knowledge of the SM and to pursue DM discoveries, CERN has the ambitious p

Enligt 8 kap. 4 § rättegångsbalken ska en advokat redbart och nitiskt utföra anförtrodda uppdrag och iaktta god advokatsed. Bestämmelsen speglar advokatyrkets särskilda ansvar och aktualiserar bland annat krav på tystnadsplikt och diskretion, omsorg och kompetens samt lojalitet.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Äldre människor har ofta många hälsoproblem som t.ex. svårigheter att gå, se, höra, smärta och inkontinens men hur vanligt det är bland de allra äldsta är lite under¬sökt. De olika hälsoproblemen kan finnas samtidigt och i särskilda mönster men få studier har gjorts om detta. När ett hälsoproblem läggs till ett annat kommer det kanske till en punkt när behov av hjälp ärAim: The aim of this thesis was to investigate type, degree and patterns of health complaints, need for help and health-related quality of life across gender among persons aged 75?105 as well as to identify how patterns of health complaints, gender, age and socio-economic factors related to need for help with daily activities and quality of life (Paper I). The aim was also to investigate the preva

In-situ nutrient sensors are now a proven technology. Having ion membranes eliminates the need for ultrafiltration, and consequently the sensors can be located at suitable places in any of the reactors. This gives the potential for new control structures for the control of nitrification, denitrification, and phosphorus removal. In the paper some examples of such controllers are demonstrated as use

In January 2020, infections with a novel coronavirus were confirmed in China. Two years into the pandemic, countries continue to struggle with fifth and sixth waves, new virus variants, and varying degrees of success in vaccinating national populations. Travel restrictions continue to persist, and the global tourism industry looks into a third year of uncertainty. There is a consensus that the COV

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att bidra till diskussionen om den s k neolitiseringen av Sverige. Först genom en kritisk granskning av aktuella forskningsrapporter angående tidigneolitikum i framför allt Mellansverige, vilken bl a visar att "jordbruk" var av marginell betydelse under lång tid efter ca 4000 f Kr, samtidigt som idén om "övergången till jordbruk" begreppslThe purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to the discussion of the deeper meaning, in our contemporary context, of the ”neolithization” of Sweden. The basis for the investigation is twofold: * a critical examination of recent research reports dealing mostly with the Early Neolithic of (Middle) Sweden which shows, inter alia, that ”agriculture” was of marginal importance for a very long tim

In this article, the issue of cross-linguistic influence in second language acquisition is examined from a processing perspective. Applying Processability Theory as the theoretical framework we claim that second language (L2) learners can only produce forms they are able to process.We thus argue that the first language (L1) influence on the L2 is developmentally moderated. Data were collected from

The E-GIS project partnership comprised 10 partners (universities, organisations and private bodies) from 6 European countries; Bulgaria, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and Sweden. The E-GIS project was initiated in order to: • Establish competent nettworks between universities and private bodies for cooperation on an European level within the GIS area – both for this project and fo

In the present work non-idealities of flat burner-stabilized flames at atmospheric and low pressures are examined using PIV measurements, which are supported by and analyzed with the help of CFD modeling. Radial and axial velocity profiles measured in the cold flow and in the flames at atmospheric and at lower pressures are presented. Two possible reasons for the drop in the apparent laminar burni
