Mantle plumes are subject of a great discussion within the field of Geology. Do they really exist, and in that case, from where do they originate? The scope of this Bachelor thesis is to discuss the characteristics of mantle plumes and the arguments in favor of and against their proposed existence. The mantle plume hypothesis was first presented in 1971 by Jason Morgan, suggesting diapirs of hot r
Problem med ordningsstörningar förekommer vid idrottsarrangemang och drabbar både idrotten och enskilda då det gör idrottsarenor till en osäker plats att besöka. För att komma till rätta med problemen har ett antal åtgärder vidtagits men inte lyckats stävja den negativa utvecklingen. Trots att det finns förbud mot ordningsstörningar och otillåten pyroteknikanvändning och möjligheter för polis och Problems with disturbances at sports arrangements is affecting both the game itself and the visitors at the events since it makes the stadiums an unsafe place to visit. A number of actions has been taken to manage the problems but has not been able to curb the negative trend. Although there is a prohibition against public disturbances and the use of pyrotechnics coupled with the fact that the poli
Kan allergiker lita på att chokladen är rätt märkt i butikerna i Ängelholm? För allergiker kan det bokstavligt talat vara livsavgörande att märkningen och informationen på produkter som choklad och kakor är korrekt i våra livsmedelsbutiker. Saknas tydlig information om allergener eller om informationen inte går att förstå p.g.a. att märkningen inte är på svenska kan en allergisk konsument i värstIn December 2014 the requirement increased on pre-packed food labelling when the regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 entered into force. Two important changes were that allergen information must be emphasised in the ingredients list and a minimum font size must be used for the obligatory information on food labels. It´s crucial that grocery stores follow the food legislation, so that consumers and especi
In the fall of 2007 a collective of artists in southern Sweden made waves for themselves by attempting to construct a rather unique ‘club-format’ unlike any other in the [then] current Swedish underground club scene. Guided mainly by a self-proclaimed ‘notion of confusion’ as its foundational principle, the collective behind Klubb Kristallen branded itself as an aspiring anti-club by seeking to ch
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka diskussionen kring testamentsregister i Sverige. Den deskriptiva delen av arbetet inriktar sig främst på varför Sverige saknar ett nationellt testamentsregister och vilka argument som har framförts för och emot ett sådant. För att ytterligare belysa frågan behandlas rättsläget för testamentsregister i Danmark och Norge som båda har någon form av testamentsrThe aim of this thesis is to discuss if registration of wills in Sweden would be possible. The descriptive part focuses mainly on why Sweden does not have a national register of wills and the arguments put forward for and against such a register. To further highlight the issue the register of wills in Denmark and Norway will be dealt with. Both of these countries have different forms of testamenta
A Summary In a large cohort of elderly women followed for 10 years, we found that balance, gait speed, and self-reported history of fall independently predicted fracture. These clinical risk factors are easily evaluated and therefore advantageous in a clinical setting. They would improve fracture risk assessment and thereby also fracture prevention. Introduction The aim of this study was to identi
Framväxten av elektronisk handel under 1990-talet ansågs av både OECD och EU skapa såväl förutsättningar för stora vinster för företag som stora utmaningar för skattemyndigheterna. Till sin natur är elektronisk handeln global, omedelbar, utan traditionella gränser och genomförs med relativ anonymitet . Dessa aspekter innebär svårigheter för ett traditionellt skattesystem. Enligt sjätte mervärdesskThe emergence of electronic commerce in the 1990's was acknowledged by both the OECD and the EU to bring about prospects of great profits for businesses as well as huge challenges for fiscal authorities. By its very nature, electronic commerce is global, instantaneous, without traditional borders and conducted with relative anonymity. These aspects make it difficult for a traditional tax syste
The main goal of the project was to decrease the cooling time of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) by modifying an existing design. Modifications included change of materials, overall dimensions and a significant reduction of mass together with additional suggestions for decreased cool time. The initial design was known to function with current materials and dimensions. The first step of the thesis was
Since the end of the cold war issues concerning civil preparedness at the municipal level has been slumbering in Sweden. During WWII and the cold war Sweden had an extensive civil preparedness at all political levels. With the absence of the threat of war the civil preparedness in Sweden faded away. Now in a state of awakening the municipalities are starting to heighten the level of civil prepared
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling syftar till att föreslå, utvärdera och applicera testprocedurer för rationalitet, svag separabilitet och effektivitet. Främst behandlas icke-parametriska så kallade ’revealed preference’ procedurer, vilka har fördelen att de, till skillnad från den parametriska ansatsen, inte behöver anslå någon funktionell form för nyttofunktionen. En majoritet av de tThis thesis aims to propose, evaluate and apply test procedures for rationality, weak separability and efficiency. In particular, it focuses on nonparametric revealed preference procedures. This approach has the advantage of not having to stipulate any functional form for the utility function, unlike the parametric approach which relies on finding a suitable functional form for the utility functio
It was not until the 1970's, when the claims that lawyers profession fell within the exception of official authority (Article 45 EC) were defeated in the Reyners judgement and the lawyer's profession was held to be within the scope of freedom of establishment. In 1977, the Community legislator adopted a Legal service directive. The directive applies to the lawyers from any Member State whe
Based on a literature review and the SSG experience, the most important prognostic factors in high-grade osteosarcoma appear to be the presence of detectable metastases at diagnosis, tumour volume, old age, sex, histologic response, and possibly tumoral P-glycoprotein expression. However, for an adolescent patient with non-metastatic extremity disease, there is no consensus regarding prognostic fa
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling beskrivs sambanden mellan funktion i centrala delar av näthinnan, och dess struktur, vid några valda ärftliga och förvärvade sjukdomstillstånd i näthinnan. Denna jämförelse är möjlig genom den relativt nya utvecklingen av multifokalt ERG (mfERG), med vars hjälp centrala näthinnans funktion kan bedömas, samt optisk koherens tomografi (OCT), med vilken In this thesis, retinal function in general, as well as central retinal function and structure are described in selected forms of acquired and hereditary retinal disorders, in order to improve our understanding of underlying pathogenic mechanisms. This comparison has been made possible during the last years, through the relatively recent development of multifocal ERG (mfERG) and optical coherence
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen behandlar analys och bearbetning av bilder ur ett beräkningsmässigt perspektiv. Den är uppdelad i tre delar, vilka diskuterar bilder i så olika sammanhang som i ett artificiellt seende system för robotar, i det mänskliga seendet och i ett bildbehandlingssystem för analys av förbränningsförlopp i tex bilmotorer. Den första delen handlar om två styckThis thesis is divided into three parts, which all deal with computational analysis and processing of images. However, the settings are quite diverse.They range from robotic camera sensors, over human perception, to physical measurement setups. In spite of this diversity, common theoretical ideas and computational aspects are applied which ties the three different parts closer together. The first

Therefore, the overarching objective of this thesis was to delineate the question of safety and comfort as perceived
BACKGROUND: The dual-mobility acetabular cup (DMC) has an additional bearing consisting of a mobile polyethylene component between the prosthetic head and the outer metal shell. This design has gained popularity in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and in primary treatment of femoral neck fractures with the anticipation of a reduced risk of THA instability. Our primary aim was to evaluate the

Objective: To explore the influence of the various pain subtypes experienced by PD patients on sleep. Methods: Three hundred consecutive PD patients were assessed with the PD Sleep Scale-Version 2 (PDSS-2), King's PD Pain Scale (KPPS), King's PD Pa
This paper explores the evolution of Swedish stabilization policies through six policy regimes between 1873 and 2019. We focus on discretionary policy decisions by estimating policy shocks using a SVAR model. Through these shocks, we explore how stabilization policies have evolved over time and how policymakers responded to key economic events such as financial crises and wars.
