Detta examensarbete är en studie som undersöker hur två av den danska Atlantvallens bunkrar skulle kunna genomgå en transformation och återanvändas. Bunkrarna har stått intakta sedan andra världskriget och ligger belägna längs det populära turistmålet Limfjorden på norra Jylland. Minnet om ockupation och krig har präglat bunkern sedan 1940-talet men att avlägsna bunkrarna från de danska stränderThis thesis investigates how to transform and re-purpose two of the bunkers along the Atlantic Wall in Denmark. The bunkers have been intact since World War II and are located along Limfjorden, which is a tourist destination in northern Jutland, Denmark. The memory of occupation and war has characterized the bunkers since the 1940s, but removing them from the Danish coast is both expensive and c

A large literature emphasizes that elite capture of political institutions hampered the spread of mass schooling in the nineteenth and twentieth century. We collect new data on investments in elementary education and the distribution of voting rights for more than 2,000 local governments in nineteenth‐century Sweden and document that educational expenditure was higher where the distribution of pol

Using the LiDAR-derived Swedish national height model we have identified previously undescribed shallow streamlined glacial bedforms, small-scale drumlins, on the Närke plain in south-central Sweden. These drumlins could only be detected with high-resolution LiDAR, due to both their subtle size and forest cover. In this area the ice margin receded in a subaqueous environment with a proglacial wate

We report on the influence of doping on the band-edge abruptness of InAs/GaSb p-n and p-i-n tunnel diodes. Understanding and fabrication of a well-defined and sharp band edge is mandatory for tunnel FET operation. InAs/GaSb nanowire junctions were selectively grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates using template assisted selective epitaxy

Human intrahepatic lymphocytes are enriched in CD1d-unrestricted T cells coexpressing NKR. Although the origin of this population remains controversial, it is possible to speculate that the hepatic microenvironment, namely epithelial cells or the cytokine milieu, may play a role in its shaping. IL-15 is constitutively expressed in the liver and has a key role in activation and survival of innate a

The aim of this article is to provide an evolutionarily grounded explanation of central aspects of the structure of language. It begins with an account of the evolution of human causal reasoning. A comparison between humans and non-human primates suggests that human causal cognition is based on reasoning about the underlying forces that are involved in events, while other primates hardly understan

In this article, Giorgio Agamben's essay Pilate and Jesus and in particular its notion of suspension as stalemate is treated as an important contribution to an ongoing exegetical conversation about the theological valence and event of John 18:28.19:41. In Agamben's essay, the suspension created by the dialogue between the Christ and the "Vicar of Caesar" demonstrates a peculiar stalemate of immane

Maternally inherited parasites are known to impose a wide variety of reproductive manipulations upon their host. These often produce strong selection on the host to suppress the parasite, resulting in a reduction in the frequency of the parasite. However, in the butterfly Hypolimnas bolina, infected with a Wolbachia bacterium, field data demonstrate that suppression of the male-killing phenotype d

The Copenhagen Food Coop (CFC) is an alternative food community in Copenhagen that provides locally grown organic vegetables and fruits to its members. It also disseminates knowledge on organic and sustainable food production, distribution, and consumption and aims to develop a participatory and inclusive community organisation. Some scholars see such alternative food networks as having great pote

Hox genes orchestrate development by patterning the embryonic axis. Vertebrate Hox genes are arranged in four compact clusters, and the spacing between genes is assumed to be crucial for their function. The genomes of squamate reptiles are unusually rich and variable in transposable elements (TEs), and it has been suggested that TE invasion is responsible for the Hox cluster expansion seen in snak

There has been little, or no, direct testing of theories of gas sorption within particular pores situated amidst a highly inter-connected pore network. The concept of thermodynamically independent pores within networks has also been challenged. In this work, a novel integrated nitrogen sorption and mercury porosimetry technique has been used to deconvolve the condensation and evaporation processes

Amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein (α-syn) are a component of Lewy bodies, the characteristic hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Amyloid fibrils arise through primary nucleation from monomers, which in the case of α-syn is often heterogeneous, followed by the growth of the nuclei by monomer addition. Secondary nucleation corresponds to the formation of new fibrils facilitated by pre-existing fibrils. Wh

Meetings are common in contemporary working life, but they are often overlooked in academic studies and sometimes defined as empty or boring by employees. Yet, the meeting society isbeing reproduced again and again. There seem to be hidden ways to incorporate meetings into today’s working life without arousing critique about pointless activities and deviations from what should really be done. One

Downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM)/potassium channel interacting protein (KChIP3) is a multifunctional protein of the neuronal calcium sensor subfamily of Ca2+-binding proteins with specific roles in different cell compartments. In the nucleus, DREAM acts as a Ca2+-dependent transcriptional repressor, and outside the nucleus DREAM interacts with Kv4 potassium channels, regu

The purpose of the thesis is to showcase the affect environmental policy has on the centrallocal relations in contemporary China. The thesis argues that the central government is centralizing control of environmental policy by the use of the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Key Regions plan (Prevention Plan). The Prevention Plan introduces policies to enhance cooperation on a regional le

Denna studie behandlar ämnet sexuellt våld i krig och konflikt under den 36 år långa konflikten i Guatemala, mer specifikt ett rättsfall i Guatemalan Court for High Risk Crimes A från februari 2016, då sexuellt våld i konflikt för första gången prövades i nationell domstol. Utifrån Michel Foucaults koncept om diskursiv makt och Paulina de los Reyes och Diana Mulinaris intersektionella perspektiv aThis paper deals with sexual violence in war and conflict during the 36 year long conflict in Guatemala, and more specifically a case in the Guatemalan Court for High Risk Crimes A from february 2016, which constitutes the first time sexual violence in conflict was tried in a domestic court. Drawing on the concept of discursive power put forward by Michel Foucault and discourses as constituting an

Model-based design is an emerging tool for dealing with the uncertain dynamic loads entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). But our understanding about the load-driving population-dynamics is limited. Therefore, we studied if mobility data (mobile telecommunications data) could be used to reduce uncertainties during design. Mobility data from Uppsala, Sweden between 2019–2022 clearly quantif

Quinoa is an Andean grain with high nutritional potential. This study evaluated the synergistic impact of a sequential, two-step fermentation followed by-on quinoa flour (QF) properties, with a primary focus on enhancing in vitro mineral accessibility and characterizing associated physicochemical changes. QF, and -QF fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum were extruded at 14 % and 16 % feed moi
