Context. The peculiar Galactic globular cluster ω Centauri (NGC 5139) has drawn attention for its unique features, such as an unusually high stellar mass compared to other Galactic globular clusters and a broad distribution of chemical elements. These features have led to the hypothesis that ω Centauri might be the nuclear remnant of an ancient dwarf galaxy accreted by the Milky Way, potentially b

Government regulations and customs duties restrict the import of trucks to some of the markets to which Scania tries to sell their trucks. The distribution problem due to these regulations is solved by the foreign assembly department, KD, at Scania. This means that competence is needed and costs are added not related to Scania's core operations. The aim of this master thesis has been to analy

In order to answer the question in the title, a cross-cultural analysis of two countries was done. Countries chosen were the Republic of Latvia and the Kingdom of Spain. The need for this research was suggested by increased cross-border business activities inside the European Union, and the lack of previous studies involving new Member States. The aim of the research was to see what environmental

Stacked stromatoporoid-dominated biostromes of the Ludlow-age Hemse Group (Silurian) in eastern Gotland, Sweden, are 0.5-5 m thick and a few tens of metres to >1 km in lateral extent. They form one of the world's richest Palaeozoic stromatoporoid deposits. This study compiles published and new data to provide an overall facies model for these biostromes, which is assessed in relation to possible m

År 2025 presenterades SOU 2025:2 Några frågor om grundläggande fri- och rättigheter, där en kommitté fick i uppdrag att bland annat utreda om ökade möjligheter bör införas för att begränsa föreningsfriheten i förhållande till kriminella sammanslutningar. Kommittén drog slutsatsen att sådana möjligheter bör införas, och några månader senare presenterades kommittédirektiv 2025:28 Kriminalisering av In 2025, the government presented the report SOU 2025:2, Some Issues Concerning Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, which tasked a committee with, among other matters, examining whether the freedom of association should be restricted in relation to criminal organizations. The committee concluded that such measures should be introduced and a few months later Directive 2025:28, Criminalization of Parti

The remains of a wooden stronghold and a fortified manor have been found in Hedemora and Husby parishes in southern Dalecarlia, along with a late medieval city and the northernmost monastery in Sweden. They all stem from the period between about 1350 and 1500. These buildings are the focus of this thesis, which attempts to explore why the architectural expressions from this era are found in these

Jordens plattektoniska rörelser leder till tektoniska skeenden vid plattgränserna, bland annat bergskedjebildning, då berggrunden utsätts för förändringar i tryck och temperatur. Vid ändrat tryck och ändrad temperatur förändras också bergarter: de ursprungliga mineralen konsumeras i kemiska reaktioner och i stället bildas nya mineral som är stabila vid de nya fysikaliska förhållandena - en processDating of metamorphic events is crucial for the understanding and reconstruction of large-scale geological processes such as orogenesis. Zircon is one of the most commonly used minerals for dating of igneous and metamorphic events. Zircon incorporates uranium and excludes lead during crystallization, and with time the uranium decays to lead. The diffusion rates of both elements are slow, making zi

Background: In patients on hemodialysis with end-stage renal disease there is an increasing interest in measuring both residual renal function (RRF) and quantity and quality of dialysis because insufficient dialysis gives higher mortality. For that purpose we have measured clearances of two urographic iodine (I) contrast media (CM) with different molecular masses (iohexol 821 u and iodixanol 1,550

Migratory birds use multiple sources of compass information for orientation, including the geomagnetic field, the sun, skylight polarization patterns and star patterns. In this paper we review the results of cue-conflict experiments designed to determine the relative importance of the different compass mechanisms, and how directional information from these compass mechanisms is integrated. We focu

Background: Both chronic pain and depressive and/or anxiety symptoms are associated with negative impacts on daily living, including interference and lack of life control. However, little is known about how pain and psychological distress affect these impacts. Aim: The first aim was to assess how pain intensity, psychological distress, and social support interact with interference and lack of life

Doppler evaluation of the aortic isthmus, located between the left subclavian artery and the ductus arteriosus, can provide important information on fetal hemodynamic adaptation/deterioration related to intrauterine hypoxia. The aortic isthmus acts as a shunt deviating part of the blood flow from ductus arteriosus to the cranial circulation to maintain a normal oxygen delivery to the fetal brain.

This thesis proposes a unique quantitative investigation of the long-term development of modern states in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is done by measuring and analysing the dynamic history of tax revenue, as a key measure of the capacity of the state, and development in four countries in francophone West Africa – Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger and Senegal – over the long 20th century. This approach cont

Present, accurate, and reliable estimation of mangrove forests in Bangladesh is limited. Former estimation of mangroves extent and density has been more or less restricted to Sundarbans and do not represent the whole country. In this study, a time series analysis was performed using Landsat images from four epochs, namely: 1976 (Landsat MSS), 1989 (Landsat TM), 2000 (Landsat ETM+) and 2015 (Landsa

The General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, trädde i kraft den 25 maj 2018. GDPR innebar ökade krav på personuppgiftsbehandlingen inom EU och EES. För att säkerställa regelefterlevnad infördes kraftiga sanktioner och långtgående skadeståndsansvar vid överträdelser av GDPR. Denna uppsats handlar huvudsakligen om hur de svenska reglerna kring principalansvar och arbetstagares skydd mot skadestånd The General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, was implemented the 25th of May 2018. GDPR entailed a legal framework that strengthened the protection for personal information within EU and EES. High penalties and burdensome rules about compensation was introduced to make sure that everyone complied with the new regulation. This thesis focuses mainly on how the Swedish rules about the vicarious liab

Prisutvecklingen på bostäder är något som väcker intresse på nationellt och individuellt plan. Mellan år 2008 och 2018 har kvadratmeterpriset och den genomsnittliga köpeskillingen för bostadsrätter fördubblats. Den expansiva värdeökningen är förenad med risker kopplade till hushållens skuldsättning som ökat i en snabb takt och därmed även ökat den finansiella sårbarheten. Ett alternativt sätt att Few markets are followed with such a great interest as the housing market. The development of house prices is something that intrigues on a national and an individual level, since properties are often seen as the most valuable asset in a household. Prices for co-operative apartments in Sweden have practically doubled in 2018 compared with 2008. The increasing trend in house prices is united with r
