We present an extensive experimental and theoretical study of the proximity effect in InAs nanowires connected to superconducting electrodes. We fabricate and investigate devices with suspended gate-controlled nanowires and nonsuspended nanowires, with a broad range of lengths and normal-state resistances. We analyze the main features of the current-voltage characteristics: the Josephson current,
Complementary measures for the assessment of patient thermoregulatory state, such as subjective judgement scales, might be of considerable importance in field rescue scenarios where objective measures such as body core temperature, skin temperature, and oxygen consumption are difficult to obtain. The objective of this study was to evaluate, in healthy subjects, the reliability of the Cold Discomfo
BACKGROUND: The current trend of upgrading undervalued agricultural by-products involves the recovery of natural antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to recover phenols from fresh olive mill wastewater (OMW) with their dispersion in 85 mL ethanol per 100 mL and to investigate the effect of processing parameters on the phenol content and antioxidant capacity of the extracts. Moreover, all th
Building in a manner that minimizes environmental impact has become a major part of the construction industry. Despite increased knowledge in this area the development is moving slowly. The purpose of this thesis is to give the reader an idea of the approach to green construction of civil engineering. The definition of a green tender is defined by the people who have been interviewed. The question
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: De kvartära landskapsformerna i södra Sverige skapades till stor del under och i samband med avsmältningen av den senaste inlandesisen. Skåne blev isfritt för ca 13 000 år sedan med en isavsmältning i nordvästar Skåne mot NO. I samband med denna avsmältning skapades ett småkuperat moränlandskap, plana slätter, mindre kullar och åsar. Åsarna har bildats av materiThe purpose with this study is to identify and examine heterogeneities within the ground, which is important for the groundwater flow on a more local scale. Investigation of the geology within an area is normally done through observations in field, combined with studies of geological maps and documented drillings. Depending on drilling methods, varying results are obtained but often with a good re
This study deals with the development of a subglacial cavity in a province dominated by stoss- and leeside rockridges. In the area of Järnavik, south-central Blekinge, there is a small excavation on the leeside of a bedrock ridge. The lithofacies combinations in this section contains both diamictons and sorted sediments. The diamict units are both massive and stratified. The sorted sediments are m
The aim of this essay is to examine which help a group of women with eating disorders had from thier treatment in daycare in 2004. The aim is to examine how the women have experienced this treatment and how they live today. The central questions are: what was their life situation like before the treatment, what was their experience of the treatment, how could the treatment have been better and how
The purpose of this essay is to shed light upon the ecumenical work that has been done between the Church of Sweden and the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden. The recent years of work have led to a recommendation for a certain degree of fellowship to be established between those churches. This proposal as well as other documents are analysed in the essay from an ecclesio-logical point of view, to
Three cases decided by the CFI, Airtours, Schneider Electric and Tetra Laval, along with the ECJ's judgement in the appeal of the Tetra Laval case, may have changed the way the Courts and the Commission approach questions of proof in the future. In these cases, the CFI did not hesitate to conclude: ''the contested decision does not establish to the requisite legal standard that the mod
The ICTY and the ICTR were established in the 1990s to determine individual accountability for mass atrocities. The tribunals have had a great impact on the development of international criminal law, yet their effects in the concerned societies have been disputed. As the courts are located outside the territory in which the crimes took place, and are composed of international lawyers and personnel
This paper describes a study examining four different GARCH models AR(1)-GARCH(1,1), AR(1)-EGARCH(1,1), AR(1)-APGARCH(1,1) and AR(1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1), and their ability to predict future volatility and thereby providing more reliable estimates for Value-at-Risk. The study is based on daily observations for the return of the OMX Stockholm 30 Index, during the time period 31st December 1996 to 29th De
Southeast Asia, with Singapore in the lead, has seen the importance of integration, both regionally and with the rest of the world. The region has had high growth rates during the past years and it has benefited from trade creation through its free trade agreements, both multilateral and bilateral. Due to its successful FTAs, Singapore has been able to specialize in trade and has become an importa

Syftet med denna uppsats är att precisera hävningsgrunderna och hävningens rättsverkningar enligt standardavtalen AB 04 och ABT 06. För att kunna besvara de ställda frågorna utgår arbetet från sådan rättsdogmatisk teori och metod som kan sägas utgöra traditionell rättsvetenskap. För kommersiella entreprenadavtal saknas direkt tillämpliga obligationsrättsliga lagregler. Detta innebär att de förhandThe purpose of this study is to clarify the grounds for termination, and the legal consequences of termination, according to the standard agreement system constituted by AB 04 and ABT 06. The study is based on such theory and method which represents traditional jurisprudence. In Sweden commercial construction contracts are not subject to any specific legislative regulation. For lack of formally ap
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Under de senaste åren har det varit mycket fokus på biobränsle som ett sätt att reducera konsumtionen av fossila bränslen och utsläppet av växthusgaser. Flytande biobränslen kan blandas med bensin och diesel som ersättning för fossila bränslen i transportsektorn. Blandningar av biobränsle och bensin eller diesel kan användas direkt i omodifierade motorer och detUnder the Kyoto protocol the European Union (EU) has committed itself to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 92% of 1990 levels. Carbon sequestered in agriculture is allowed to be countered against emissions to help meet the targets. Biofuels represent an infinite possibility to sequester carbon in agriculture, as they reduce emissions by replacing fossil fuels. The EU has set the target that
A qualitative study of family members and spouses experiences regarding the depression and the support One third of the Swedish population has at some point of their lives been afflicted with a depression, and although there are many interventions to be had, a majority of them focus solely on the individual with the depression. Shedding light on how family members and spouses experience the suppo
Teachers’ experiences of school leadership behaviour and the social contexts in which these have taken place interest me. I aim to identify and understand what Swedish secondary school language teachers’ reflections are on what they require in terms of leadership from their principals in different contexts in order to gain personal job satisfaction. The objective is that this research can then fun
Ända sedan Europeiska kommissionen i april 2009 lade fram sitt förslag till AIFM direktiv har det varit föremål för hård kritik och en stor mängd ändringsförslag. Direktivet, som syftar till att reglera den inre marknaden för alternativa investeringsfonder och därigenom minska förekomsten av systemstabilitetsrisker, har kallats protektionistiskt och har föranlett en häftig politisk debatt. Skälet Ever since the European Commission presented its draft proposal of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive in April 2009, it has been the subject of harsh criticism and a multitude of amendment proposals. The Directive, which aims to regulate the internal market for Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) as to reduce systemic risks, has been labeled protectionist and is the cause of a heate
By ratifying ILO Conventions, ILO Member States undertake to bring national legislation and practice into full compliance with these international labour instruments. However, the question remains whether the countries actually implement their international commitments. The assessment of national compliance with the ratified ILO Standards may help to find out the good practices to be followed by
