Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En verksamhet eller åtgärd kan ha stor inverkan på människor, djur, växter, mark, vatten, luft, klimat, landskap och kulturmiljö. För att fatta bästa möjliga beslut om en projekt-ut-formning som tar hänsyn till konsekvenserna för olika berörda miljövärden åter-finns kravet på miljökonsekvensbeskrivning, MKB, i svensk lagstiftning. Syftet med en MKB är att identiAn activity or a measure might have a great impact on people, animals, plants, soil, water, air, climate and landscape. In order to describe the direct and indirect effects an intended activity might have an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) must be carried out. This demand is regulated in Swedish legislation and makes it possible to achieve as small impact on the environment as practicable. A

The purpose of this paper was to study how the death is described in some books for children and how the books may affect the readers. I chose five books where the leading character was a child who lost a close relative like a parent or a sibling. I asked the book questions like you would do at an interwiew. The main questions were: · What do the children think about the death? · How does the c

During the Salvadoran armed conflict (1980-1992) hundreds of children became separated from their families. The majority of the children were abducted by the armed forces of the government and still to this day the fate and whereabouts of most children are unknown. These children are the ''disappeared children of El Salvador''. In 1994, families of the disappeared children formed a

I media såväl som i mer forskningsbaserade sammanhang förs en debatt om huruvida barnen i Sverige mår sämre psykiskt idag. Denna studie närmade sig frågan utifrån aspekten självkänsla och utgick ifrån hypotesen att barns och ungdomars självkänsla hade försämrats år 2010 jämfört med år 1981-83. I studien deltog 235 pojkar och flickor från årskurs tre, fem och sju genom att fylla i självskattningsfThere is a debate going on in both media and research-based contexts concerning the mental health of children in Sweden and whether they feel worse today than they did before. This study examined this question with the aspect of self-esteem in focus and assumed that the self-esteem had declined in the year of 2010 compared to 1981-83. The participants were 235 boys and girls in third, fifth and se

Studien ingår i två större projekt, The archaeology and ecology of collapse: social and agricultural change following the Black Death och Managing Multiple Stressors in the Baltic Sea. Resultaten frånThis thesis reports the results from a pollen analytical and quantitative landscape reconstruction (REVEALS model) study in the drainage area of the Botorpsströmmen River in southern Sweden as a part of the project The archaeology and ecology of collapse: social and agricultural change following the Black Death and the project Managing Multiple Stressors in the Baltic Sea. The focus of this study

In this paper the laminar burning velocities of nitromethane, ethanol and nitromethane-ethanol mixtures has been determined by using heat flux method. The laminar burning velocity of ethanol was measured at atmospheric pressure, initial temperatures range 298-358 K and equivalence ratio 0.7-1.6. The flame speed of ethanol shows a satisfactory agreement with previous available data. The burning vel

Bakgrund: UNFPA är en underorganisation till Förenta Nationerna (FN). UNFPA fokuserar på populations- och utvecklingsstrategier och jämlikhet mellan könen. I mars 2005 bestämdes det i UNDP/UNFPAs styrelse att UNFPAs inköpsavdelning (PSB) skulle behöva förbättras om de skulle nå upp till sina mål. Flera studier har genomförts och resultatet av dessa visade bland annat på en rekommendation att införBackground: UNFPA is a subsidiary organ to the United Nations (UN) with a primary focus on population and development strategies, sexual and reproductive health and gender equality. In March 2005 the UNDP/UNFPA Executive Board had realized that for the UNFPA Procurement Services Branch (PSB) to operate in line with its mission, focus would need to be directed specifically towards improvements in t

Abstract Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form in both freshwater and marine environments, which could threaten the health of human beings and animals. The genera that are known for causing the scums in freshwater are Anabaena, Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Planktothrix. In order to control lake water quality and minimize the potential health risk associated with the cyanobacterial blooms, th

An evaluation of occupant safety in case of a fire has been made for Rosvalla Nyköping Eventcenter as a part of the educational programme of Fire Protection Engineering at Lund University. The condition for occupant safety was that evacuation could be done under safe conditions. A deterministic approach has been applied during the project, which means qualitative and quantitative discussions have

In this thesis I studied how the level of cooperation has changed in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) since the Cold War, as the international arena went from being a bipolar power structure to a unipolar one. My perspective on cooperation was based on the theory of realism. In order to answer these questions I analyzed veto usage and the resolutions as indicators of cooperation. Veto us

This report is a fire risk assessment of Norrköpings Art Museum and is written as a part of the Fire Protection Engineering program at Lund University. The three scenarios that are evaluated in the report come from a coarse qualitative analysis conducted after a visit at the object. Programs like CFAST, FDS and SIMULEX has been used to implement this analysis. The results obtained from these progr

Skogsskador och skogsdöd är ett växande problem i Europa. "Svarta Triangeln", som ligger i bergsområdet där Tysklands, Tjeckiens och Polens gränser möts, är en av de värst drabbade områdena. I dagsläget saknas kunskap för att kunna förklara skogsskadorna helt och hållet, men markförsurningen i området, som orsakas främst av förbränning av svavelrikt kol i de många kolkraftverken, är trolForest decline is an increasing problem in Europe. "The Black Triangle" area, situated in the mountainous region where the borders of Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland meet, is one of the worst damaged areas. The reasons for the forest dieback are not fully understood, but the soil acidification caused by the burning of sulphur rich coal in the region is considered a major cause. To

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

Under vissa typer av operationer, till exempel då kärlen kring hjärtat opereras, använder sig läkare av en speciell typ av röntgenmaskin för att orientera sig inuti kroppen, så kallad genomlysning. För att undgå att öppna upp bröstkorgen på patienten går läkarna in med små verktyg i kärlen via ljumskarna och upp till hjärtat. Eftersom läkarna står så nära patienten träffar en del av strålningen de
