Nine Dark-bellied Brent Geese Branta bernicla bernicla were equipped with satellite transmitters during spring staging in the Dutch Wadden Sea in 1998 and 1999. The transmitters (in all cases less than 3% of body mass) were attached to the back by a flexible elastic harness. One juvenile female was tracked to the Yamal peninsula in 1998. Eight adult males were selected from a single catch of 75 to
The elutability of adsorbed fibrinogen by cationic surfactants of different chain lengths (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide), and an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)) was studied using in situ ellipsometry. The concentrations of the surfactants were twice the CMC in water and for fibrinogen, 0.4 mg ml−1. The inve
Organiserad brottslighet är ett väldigt aktuellt ämne som diskuteras såväl i Sverige som internationellt. Diskussionerna rör bl.a. den organiserade brottslighetens struktur, hur utbredd den är, dess medlemmar, dess kriminalitet och det hot den innebär mot samhället. Många har starka åsikter gällande organiserad brottslighet och det talas om att krafttag mot den behöver tas och olika åtgärdsprogramOrganised crime is a well-discussed subject matter. There are questions regarding its structure, how widespread it is, the individuals involved with it, its crimes and the potential threat to our society it amounts to. These questions are talked about in many different arenas, in Sweden as well as internationally, and the opinions regarding organised crime are many and strong. The fight against it
Låt inte åkern få för djupa sår, – annars vi i framtiden inga grödor får! Om det inte vore för växterna skulle vi inte kunna leva en enda sekund på vår jord. För varje andetag förlitar vi oss på att växterna producerar tillräckligt med syre till atmosfären och åkerns grödor ger oss mat på bordet. Det här är exempel på så kallade ekosystemtjänster, vilket är ett resultat av fungerande ekosystem, dAbstract The four weedy species Capsella bursa-pastoris, Elytrigia repens, Rumex longifolius and Tripleurospermum perforatum were grown for 4 weeks in a greenhouse experiment in intact soil cubes, excavated from 15 conventional agriculture fields with different land use intensity, situated in the agricultural area of South West Scania, Sweden. Soilbiodiversity provides ecosystem services and is
Most Faroese children attend day nurseries, kindergartens, day care centres or leisure schools. More than 65 % of children 0 – 10 years old attend such institutions, and when looking at 4 – 5 year olds it is more than 95% of the children. This is according to statistics from the Faroese Ministry of Culture and Education from 2009. Therefore one can conclude that the institutions have an important
Electron mean free path (MFP) was determined by the angular resolved photoemission in 10-40 eV energy range for GaAs(100)-c(4 x 4) by the overlayer method. The investigation was based on the attenuation of the normal photoemission intensity of the Al 2p line from the molecular-beam-epitaxy grown GaAlAs layer buried four monolayers of GaAs below the surface. The energy dependence of the MFP shows a
The aim of the thesis work is the further development of practical engine simulation tools based on Stochastic Reactor Models, SRMs. Novel and efficient implementations were made of a variety of SRMs adapted to different engine types. The models in question are the HCCI-SRM, the TwoZone SI-SRM and the DI-SRM. The specific models developed were incorporated into two different interfaces: DARS-ESSA,

Denna artikel innehåller en analys av samtliga rapporter från Statens offentliga utredningar (SOU), 1945-89. Analysen applicerar metoder inom digital humaniora och inkluderar forskning gjort i en Jupyterlabbmiljö som utvecklats på Humlab på Umeå universitet. Artikeln är ett resultat av forskningsprojektet Välfärdsstaten analyserad, som ämnar att digitalisera litteratur, arbetar med datasäkring av In 2015 the National Library of Sweden finished digitising all Governmental Official Reports (SOU) from 1922 to 1999. Traditionally, SOU reports – and work performed within different governmental committees – were tasked with preparing the Swedish government for apt and rational decision-making. The range of subjects covered by governmental committees and SOU reports basically includes every area
Soil physicochemical properties and macropore spatial structure affect saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks). However, due to regional differences and long measurement time, Ks is tedious to quantify. Therefore, it is of great importance to find simplified but robust methods to predict Ks. One possibility is to use pedo-transfer functions (PTFs). Along this line, stratified sampling was carried ou
Background: Pay-for-performance (P4P) has been widely used in healthcare, but there are few experiences of hospital-based P4P at scale. The evidence of impact from these has been mixed, and there has been increased recognition of the importance of different contexts, designs, incentives and other factors. In 2014, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health integrated a P4P model for determining hospit
Vulnerability to climate change and the capacity to adapt to it are the result of intersecting power structures, system dynamics, and social identity markers otherwise known as intersectionality; and thus, differ greatly between contexts. However, despite the stark contextual differences between small and metropolitan cities, and lower and higher income countries, the policy and study of climate c
Wave power is a type of renewable energy which holds great potential, but this potential remains largely unused due to difficulties in implementing commercially viable wave energy converters. This study uses Monte Carlo integration to optimize and estimate the electrical power output of a Simulink model based on a real wave energy converter developed by Waves4Power. For 78 sea states defined by th
The tall perennial herb Gladiolus imbricatus is an endangered species within plant communities of semi-natural grasslands. Coastal meadows, extensively managed as pastures or meadows, are amongst its favored habitats and thrive with biodiversity in fauna and flora. However, following major land-use changes during the last century, proactive endeavors are necessary to prevent a loss of rare fauna a
Skillnaderna mellan småföretag och större företags ekonomiska och organisatoriska förutsättningarna är både stora och förhållandevis tydliga. Dessa skillnader medför att småföretag är mer känsliga för brister i rättssäkerheten än större företag. Efter en undersökning av vilka hjälpmedel som finns till hands för småföretag att förstå skattelagstiftningen, så att de kan ta korrekta beslut, kan det kThe differences between small and large companies, both economically and organizationally, are large and relatively clear. These differences make smaller companies more susceptible to flaws in the rule of law. After investigation into what aid small companies can get to better understand and comply with the relevant tax laws, it can be concluded that more aid is needed. This is because as it now s
Förekomsten av juridiskt oskolade som ett inslag i den dömande verksamheten, är ett fenomen som existerar världen över. I Sverige har institutionen med s.k. nämndemän länge varit en del av rättssystemet. Dess rötter härstammar från det medeltida samhället, men systemet har under åren modifierats flertalet gånger och inflytandet på rättskipningen har varierat. Det huvudsakliga syftet och dess viktiThe presence of non-judicially educated in courts is a recurring phenomenon all over the world. In Sweden, the institution with lay judges (in Sweden; nämndemän) has a long history in the judiciary. It originates from the medieval era, but has over the years been modified several times and the institution’s influence over the administration of justice has varied over the years. However, the purpos

Summariskt kan skiljeförfarandet beskrivas syfta till ett snabbt och slutligt avgörande av tvister utan insyn från utomstående. Med denna bakgrund är det av stor vikt för de involverade parterna att tvistelösningen inte efterföljs av en långdragen och offentlig process i allmän domstol. I svensk rätt finns därav ingen möjlighet att överklaga ett skiljeförfarande. Detta sätter stora krav på att skiCommercial arbitration can briefly be described as being designed to offer a quick and final conclusion to disputes without transparency for the public. With this in mind, it is of great importance that the verdict isn’t followed by long and public proceedings in court. Thus, the Swedish regulation doesn’t allow the losing party to appeal against the arbitrators’ verdict. This puts a heavy burden
Syftet med denna framställning är att, mot bakgrund av att arvsrätt existerar inom äktenskap, undersöka om sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad samt att diskutera sambors efterlevandeskydd de lege ferenda. För att uppnå syftet undersöks efterlevandeskyddet för sambor respektive makar, hur efterlevandeskyddet för sambor kan stärkas, hur sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad och till sist hThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not it is justifiable that cohabiting partners don’t inherit from each other, given that married couples do. Furthermore, I am going to discuss cohabiting partners’ provision for surviving lex ferenda. Towards this purpose I will look into current survivorship legislation that affects cohabiting partners as well as married couples, how it can
In this thesis, we use Bloomberg data to compute a metric developed by Bhattacharya & Galpin (2011) to examine the popularity of value-weighting on the Swedish stock exchange. After analyzing our data, we reach three conclusions in documenting that: (1) Value- weighting is becoming more popular over time. (2) Value-weighting is more popular on the OMXS30 than on the market as a whole (the OMXS
