The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a multi-disciplinary research centre under design and construction in Lund, Sweden. This new facility is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries and is expected to be up to 30 times brighter than today's leading facilities and neutron sources. The ESS will enable new opportunities for researchers in the fields of life sciences, energy, environment
Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a widely used method for measuring the dielectric constant (K-a) and bulk electrical conductivity (sigma(a)) in soils. The TDR measured sigma(a) and K-a can be used to calculate the soil solution electrical conductivity, sigma(w.) The sigma(w), in turn, can be related to the concentration of an ionic tracer. Several models of the sigma(w)-sigma(a)-K-a relationshi
This paper explores the value of judiciously used L1-to-L2 translation in meaning-focused, advanced-level academic language (L2) education. It examines the teacher-led discourse (TLD) arising when translation tasks were used and compares it to the TLD engendered when four other grammar-focused tasks were used with three different groups of students within a functioning university course in English
The future for diabetes is grave. Now described as the global epidemic of the 21st century, the increasing incidence of diabetes (in 2007 over 246 million people affected by diabetes) will place considerable strain on resources and will bring suffering to many if the preventative measures promoted by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot
Purpose: Rollators are used in order to make mobility possible for people with restricted walking ability. The use of rollators is increasing, but little is known about outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate users' satisfaction with rollators. Method: A follow-up study was carried out in seven Danish municipalities. One month after they got their device, 89 users of rollators were inte
A tissue proteomics process is presented where hepatocyte cell isolation in combination with two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometric identification were used to annotate the liver proteome. Laser microdissection of 8 m liver tissue sections was performed and protein expression profiling was compared using a variety of quantities of input cells, and gel separation condition
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vilka är egentligen ”de äldre”? Vad innebär det att vara pensionär? Hur ska man åldras på rätt sätt? Frågor som dessa har under det nyss avslutade århundradet ställts och besvarats på många oliks sätt, beroende av sammanhang och tidsperiod. I vissa situationer har de äldres olikhet lyfts fram, i andra deras likhet. Ibland har åldrandetThe aim of the dissertation is to describe images of old age in the magazines of Sweden’s two largest pensioner organizations, and explain the character of those images in relation to the temporal contexts of the organizations and their aim to act as the representatives of pensioners. The study is based on the 329 and 330 magazines (1941–1995) that the organizations have submitted to attract membe
Var gränsen ska gå för vilka uppgifter som ska vara tillåtna att sprida är en omdebatterad fråga som kräver en avvägning mellan yttrandefrihet och en persons ära. Uppgifter som utgör förtal kan ändock anses tillåtna om domstolen bedömer dem som försvarliga och de därutöver är sanna eller det finns skälig grund att hålla dem för sanna. Under #metoo-uppropet hösten 2017 publicerades oräkneliga inlägA controversial issue in today’s society is where to draw the line regarding what information that should be allowed to disseminate. It requires a balance between freedom of expression and a person’s honor. Information that constitutes defamation can still be considered permissible if the court deems it justifiable, and if the defamation is true or there is reasonable ground to deem it true. Durin
Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet slöjförbud i Sverige. Syftet är att undersöka hur en svensk partipolitiskt obunden organisation, som arbetar med hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck, konstruerar deras ståndpunkter om slöjförbudet samt hur de tillförskriver attribut till slöjbärande kvinnor som kan bli påverkade av slöjförbud. Materialet består av en skrift från den slöjkritiska organisationen ”Glöm aldrig The subject in this thesis is ban of veils in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to examine how a Swedish non-party political organization, that works with honor related violence and oppression, constructs their positions about a ban of the veil, and further how they prescribe attributes to veiled women who can be affected by the ban. The analyzed material is a publication from the Swedish veil-cri
This thesis defined and investigated a general workflow based on model-based design using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), involving Hardware-in-the- Loop (HiL) simulation. The thesis was a direct continuation of Sara Gunnarsson’s master’s thesis "Evaluation of FMI-based Workflow for Simulation and Testing of Industrial Automation Applications", where a Software-in-the-Loop (SiL)
The United Kingdom’s response to the pressing biodiversity decline in England includes the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy and is operationalised through DEFRA’s Biodiversity Metric, which quantifies biodiversity into ‘biodiversity units’. This thesis evaluates how effectively the metric reflects real biodiversity outcomes at the rewilded Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Using 2005 as a baseline an
Mukokuseki or borderless marketing has long been a topic within the marketing of Japanese cultural products. On the opposite end, there is the concept of ultra-cultural products and the Yakuza-series by Sega is one of the examples that takes advantage of both. The overarching question posed throughout this paper is: “How has SEGA employed a particular vision of Japan to successfully promote its Ya
Min uppsats syftar till att analysera inskränkningar i varumärkesrättslig ensamrätt, där import av de varumärkesskyddade varorna är tillåten mellan medlemsstater utan att rättsinnehavarens tillstånd anskaffas. Den varumärkesrättsliga ensamrätten konsumeras när rättsinnehavaren för ut varan på marknaden själv eller med innehavarens samtycke. En så kallad regional konsumt-ion har vuxit fram genom EUMy thesis aims to analyze the restrictions of trademark proprietor’s exclusive right, where imports of the trademarked goods are permitted between Member States without the authori-zation of the trademark proprietor. A so-called Community exhaustion has emerged through the European Court of Justice, inter alia, Silhouette case and cover all countries in the EU. EU Court's interpretation confir
This paper examines the “back-testability” of Expected Shortfall and if different backtesting methods produce similar results, with the aim of illuminating whether various markets have any effect on the methods’ ability to perform. In order to answer this question, the three backtesting methods – Test 1 and Test 2 by Acerbi & Szekely, and the Approximative Quantile Test by Emmer et al. – are i
We evaluated a sample of 78 diversified Actively Managed Equity Funds (AMEFs) with domestic holdings in Swedish stocks, in terms of historically risk-adjusted returns during the time period 2015-01-01 - 2019-12-31. Furthermore, we split our sample of AMEFs into two market capitalisation categories: Large/Mid-capitalisation (LMC) and Small/Mid- capitalisation (SMC). Moreover, we selected the top pe
Stellar abundances are important for understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies and provide us with constraints on stellar evolution and supernova nucleosynthesis. To determine stellar abundances accurately, atomic data is crucial. This data is incomplete for many elements, especially in the infrared region. In particular, hyperfine structure (hfs) data in the near-infrared region is lacking
The current fashion system known as Fast Fashion (FF) is responsible for severe environmental and social impacts. Fashion democratisation has increased consumers’ appetite for new trends, leading fashion companies to design an increasing number of collections per year. Manufacturing is outsourced to developing countries, where workers’ rights and working place regulations are hardly respected. Add
Purpose: The purpose of this study was two-fold. First, we aimed to develop a framework concerning how to directly and indirectly control discrimination in the workplace using Man- agement Control Systems (MCS). Second, we wanted to examine whether this framework is practically applicable in multinational enterprises (MNE). Methodology: The first part of the purpose was achieved through conduc
This thesis examines how the Climate Justice Movement in Germany is set up today and how activists relate to and feel about their activism. Specifically, factors are investigated that make people feel unhappy about their activism or even leave the movement. Furthermore, potential changes of the movement in order to become a healthier and more sustainable environment for activists are suggested. Pa
