Förmågan att uppfatta ljus och vilken riktning det kommer från är utomordentligt användbart för djur. Därför är det inte förvånande att denna förmåga återfinns hos i stort sett varje större djurgrupp, även bland de som anses enkla, såsom koraller och spolmaskar. Endast några få djurgrupper har dock, under evolutionens gång, utvecklat verkligt bra ögon som snabbt kan identifiera objekt av djurens eLight-detection provides incomparabaly rapid information at a range of time scales and, consequently, directional photoreception is found in almost every major metazoan clade. Conversely, a much smaller cohort have evolved sophisticated high resolution vision, which facillitates complex tasks via the detection of fast or small objects,. such as courtship and high-speed pursuit of prey. A few such

Investigation of astrophysical plasmas, such as stellar atmospheres, require both knowledge of atomic structure and data. We present laboratory instruments, techniques and tools for acquisition of the data required to derive important atomic parameters such as, wavelengths, oscillator strengths and line profiles. In this thesis new atomic data for advancement of stellar atmosphere analysis are pre

Popular Abstract in Swedish Begreppen ‘participation’ och ‘empowerment’ är flitigt använda inom utvecklingsprojekt i tredje världen. Den betydelse som tillskrivs begreppen idag betonar en normativ tolkning, baserad på ett alternativt perspektiv på utveckling vilket innebär utgångspunkt från de människor utvecklingsprojeket berör snarare än västerländsk kunskap och expertis.

Vi ser en förändring i relationen mellan det samtida individualiserade jaget och en ny typ av emotionell marknadsföring. Genom att undersöka det svenska rakhyvel-företaget Estrids Instagramflöde och image tar vi reda på om och hur dessa kan tänkas genomsyras av denna emotionella cool-kapitalism. Med hjälp av teorier grundade i postfeminism, transparens och audience labour utreder vi den roll emoti

Sexuellt våld är ett stort problem i samhället idag, och kvinnor är den dominerande offergruppen. Det finns även en problematik kring det svenska rättssystemet som försvårar bedömningen av våldtäktsbrott. Att samtycke inte har givits ska vara en huvudfaktor för att fälla förövaren. Men istället beaktas andra omständigheter vid bedömningen, och kan då bli avgörande för att gärningsmannen istället fSexual violence is a major problem in today’s society, and women are the major representing victim group. There is also a problem concerning how the Swedish legal system makes it harder to judge rape crimes. The consent that is not given at a rape should be taken into account as a key factor to convict the perpetrator. But instead there are other factors which are considered in assessing and can b

Trots en sedan länge pågående debatt i doktrinen har både 1905 års köplag och dagens köplag tillämpats på företagsförvärv som sker genom en aktieöverlåtelse. Det är dock tydligt att lagstiftaren inte hade företagsförvärv eller aktieköp i åtanke när köplagen skrevs och reglerna tenderar därför att vara mindre lämpliga för aktieöverlåtelser vid företagsförvärv. I många situationer blir detta inget pDespite a long-standing debate in the doctrine, both the 1905 Swedish Sales of Goods Act and the current Swedish Sales of Goods Act have been applied to company acquisitions through share transfers. However, the legislator did not have company acquisitions or share purchases in mind when drafting the Sales of Goods Act and the set of rules therefore tends to be less suitable for share transfers in
