Title: Verbally fa(s)t. Hip-hop Musicians' artistic and educational strategies. During the last decade there has been an awakening interest in concidering not only the formalised learning situations within institutional settings, but also all forms of learning that goes on in informal musical learning practices outside schools. My own personal experience of informal learning, my fascination and cu
AimImpaired vibrotactile sense, mirroring diabetic peripheral neuropathy, is present among children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. This study aims to re-examine the vibrotactile sense of paediatric type 1 diabetes subjects in order to evaluate any alterations in the vibrotactile sense over time.MethodsA VibroSense Meter I device was used to determine the vibrotactile perception thresholds (
This paper investigates a time interval within the Late Ludfordian (Late Silurian), involving changes in faunal composition (the Lau Event), a major positive carbon isotope excursion (CIE), and contemporaneous sea-level changes in remote palaeo-basins. Based on the Silurian strata of Gotland (Sweden), we integrate sequence stratigraphy, carbon isotope stratigraphy, and platform-scale palaeoecologi
Brown C, Hasson H, Thyselius V, Almborg A-H. Post-stroke depression and functional independence: a conundrum. Acta Neurol Scand: DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0404.2011.01595.x. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Objectives - People who suffer a stroke are at risk of developing post-stroke depression (PSD). Not only does this lower their quality of life but it also increases their risk of another stroke or d
Many conservative public figures have claimed that Google Search exhibits a liberal bias in the links presented. Surprisingly, perhaps, the few scientific studies conducted so far have tended to support this claim. In the study reported here, we compared Google search engine result pages (SERPs) for 8 terms related to immigration across 8 geographically distinct locations (municipalities). For eac
The world's legal professions have undergone dramatic changes in the 30 years since publication of the landmark three-volume Lawyers in Society, which launched comparative sociological studies of lawyers. This is the first of two volumes in which scholars from a wide range of disciplines, countries and cultures document and analyse those changes.The present volume presents reports on 46 countries,
The effect of electron-beam patterning on the water uptake and ionic conductivity of Nafion films using a combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance studies, neutron reflectometry, and impedance spectroscopy is reported. The aim is to further characterize the nanoscale patterned Nafion structures recently used as a key element in novel ion-to-electron transducers
Malignant glioma is a tumor that spreads rapidly throughout brain and is almost impossible to remove completely by surgery. It is resistant to chemo- and radiotherapy and the prognosis is very poor. As a result, there is a desperate need for development of novel therapies against this devastating disease. Because of the heterogeneity in this cancer success has been limited, but a recent concept in
Pollen-based quantitative vegetation reconstructions using multiple sedimentary basins from the same area, along with their quantified relevant pollen source areas, are a powerful means to study how long-term human impact has affected vegetation and shaped the currently protected heritage landscapes at different spatial scales. Our study presents the outcome of a palynological investigation in Kar
The applicability of the Weibull distribution to model the strength of glass, the existence of a size effect on the strength and the need for a non-destructive testing of the strength are discussed and reviewed. There are a growing number of studies that put into question the applicability of the Weibull distribution to model annealed glass fracture data. A recent study indicates that the breakage
Unlike in the past, the path to adulthood has become more complex and varied for young people today than ever before. Twenty-somethings must be ready to adapt to the challenges and difficulties of this period. Over the last decade, with the development of the digital age, smartphones have become an indispensable part of people's lives, especially for young people. In China, the use of smartpho
In 2015, media reported on new allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse committed by UN peacekeepers against civilians. This was not the first time such allegations were made. Although a number of measures have been taken at the UN level to combat these crimes, the problem persists. The majority of the personnel in UN peacekeeping operations are members of national military contingents, and
Sustainability Science (SS) is known for aspiration to support societies towards ecologically sound trajectories – a fabulously reflexive, ultimately critical and deeply self-aware field with a diverse community of highly skilled and creative researchers of noble goals, rigorous training and active engagement with ‘real life’ (so we claim, or at least aspire for). We try hard to alter extinction o
Sammanfattning Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan polisens utredningsåtgärder och personuppklaring och lagföring vid hedersrelaterad brottslighet. Det övergripande syftet är att redogöra för vilken betydelse rätt kunskap, förstahandsåtgärder och utredningsmetodik spelar för den fortsatta lagföringen. Jag vill också undersöka om den kunskapssatsning som gjorts av regeringen och rikspolisstyrThis thesis investigates the connection between police investigative measures, solved crimes and prosecution concerning honour related crime. The overall aim is to account for what significance correct knowledge, first measures taken and methods used during the investigation have for the following prosecution. I also wish to investigate whether the augmentation of knowledge initiated by the govern
Several studies show difficulties that companies have in pursuit of annual growth. The same studies show that companies that succeed are those that focus on innovation and continuous product development. Atlas Copco is one of Sweden’s largest companies and the brand stands for sustainable product development. This examination project has been executed for one its daughter companies, Atlas Copco Co
Nanowire solar cells are a promising candidate for future photovoltaic applications as they promise the high efficiency of thin film III-V semiconductor solar cells while simultaneously keeping the costs low, due to reduced material consumption. In order to progress towards this direction, further understanding is needed to optimize the power conversion efficiencies of nanowire single junction sol
A novel technique for CO2 removal using a precipitating amine absorption system is being studied for potential use in biogas upgrading and carbon capture and storage (CCS). The system uses the sterically hindered amine 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) mixed in different concentrations with the organic solvent N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). In the current work, the physical solubility of CO2 in sol
In northern Uganda, a war between the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and governmnet troops has raged for more than twenty years. In this conflict, the civilian population has been made a target and subjected to mass scale torture, mutilation and murder. Almost two million people have been forced to flee their homes to reside in government protected camps for Internally Displaced Persons. In these ca
Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a
