São Francisco-kratonen i Sydamerika är en mycket gammal landmassa som bär spår av upprepade extensionella händelser då magmor från manteln transporterades uppåt och kristalliserade som diabas. Tidigare försök att åldersbestämma dessa gångbergarter är få och begränsade till radiometriska metoder som är känsliga för metamorfos och vittring. I denna studie har diabaser från Uauá-blocket och Curaçá-bä
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I en mosse i södra Sverige, som heter Viss mosse, har fynd av trädstammar gjorts. Fynden gäller ek, bok och al. Denna horisont med trädstammar tyder på att miljön på mossen var förhållandevis torr när träden levde, eftersom det normalt sett är för blött på en mosse för att ekar och bokar ska kunna växa där. Kol-14-dateringar visar att träden dog för cirka 3 200 Findings of a tree stump horizon in Viss mosse, a raised bog in Scania, southern Sweden, indicate relatively dry conditions on the bog during the lifetime of the trees . 14C-datings show that the trees died about 3 200 years ago. Four peat cores were collected from the bog in order to investigate whether climatically induced water level fluctuations were responsible for establishemt and death of t
Skin ages as a result of the failure of several mechanisms that are triggered by both internal and external factors. The accumulation of damaged proteins is an effect that comes with age due to the dysfunction of the proteasomes and their decline in activity, which leads to dull looking skin.

I Sverige finns det ingen lagstadgad skyldighet att bistå nödställda personer. Undantag finns i vissa situationer när det framgår av lag eller allmänna principer. Att se på när en okänd människa drunknar utan att hjälpa till, trots att personens liv enkelt kan räddas är idag straffritt. Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av en rättsdogmatisk metod utreda om en civilkuragelag bör införas i SIn Sweden there is no statutory duty to rescue distressed persons.

Provokation som grund för strafflindring regleras i 29 kap. 3 § första stycket 1 BrB och då domstolen anser att någon objektivt sett har blivit utsatt för ett uppenbart kränkande beteende kan detta få verkan i förmildrande riktning i påföljdsbestämningen. Domstolar har ett relativt stort utrymme att fastställa vad som kan utgöra provokation på grund av att det finns få uttalanden i förarbeten och Provocation as a basis for mitigation of a sentence is regulated in Chapter 29. 3 § first paragraph 1 of the Penal Code and this can have effect in mitigating direction when the court considers that someone has been a victim of a clearly degrading behavior from an objective point of view.
