Investigations over two major tectonic zones in the Hallandsås Horst, Southern Sweden were carried out in connection with a railway tunnelling project. A combination of resistivity imaging, core drilling and geophysical logging was found to provide a good overview of the variation in rock quality and detailed information on the engineering geological characteristics and genesis of the strata. Resi
A professional impersonator has been studied when training his voice to mimic two target speakers. Training was performed by listening and/or using the output from a speaker verification system as feedback. Tests after training showed a significant increase in verfication score.
Abstract To determine whether increased vascular resistance in the uterine artery is associated with carriership of factor V Leiden, a retrospective study was undertaken of 231 pregnant women who were monitored with Doppler velocimetry of the uterine arteries. These women had been part of a prospective study of 2,480 pregnant women in whom factor V Leiden had been analysed. When compared with non-
The importance of social circumstances for middle-age women’s general subjective well-being (SWB) was investigated in a representative sample of Swedish women, age 43 (N = 369). The results showed non-existent to moderate relationships between a number of social circumstances variables and general SWB. The strongest relationship was found between marital status and global life satisfaction. Being
During the past decades there is a growing interest to include a cultural dimension in the debate on sustainable development. In this thesis I explore how culture, and more specifically the Flemish cultural sector, contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. By means of case studies, I examine how cultural organizations perceive their role in the transition process and how they transla
In this research paper, a result of an internship at Art Dubai 2014, I attempt to deconstruct the notion of Arab contemporary art as a monolithic term. The deconstruction occurs through two case studies that pertain to Arab contemporary art. The first case study, I interview artists from the region and conduct visual analysis of their artwork in an attempt to identify aesthetical aspects that pert
This thesis deals with the significance of institutional structures and their outcomes when combating corruption. It investigates Rwanda's outstanding progress in implementing anti-corruption policies and building strong institutions to fight corruption. Concepts such as the quality of government and good governance has been used to explain the country’s success within the anti-corruption fram
Under senmedeltiden och den tidigmoderna tiden ökade den internationella sjöhandeln kraftigt och successivt skedde en förändring i det merkantila handelsbruket: I takt med att resorna blev längre och mer tidskrävande upphörde lastägarna att tillsammans med sitt gods resa med på transportfartygen. Lastägarnas uteblivna närvaro ersattes med enkla transportdokument, ofta benämnda som ”konossement”. KDuring the late middle ages and the early modern times, international trade by sea increased significantly and a gradual change took place in the mercantile trade practice: As the trips became longer, and more time consuming, the merchants (the cargo owners) ceased to travel along with their cargo aboard the ships. The lack of the cargo owner’s presence was replaced by simple transport documents,
Varje söndag har vi möjlighet att besöka en gudstjänst i Svenska kyrkan, att bekänna våra synder och få höra att vi är förlåtna. Men vi människor är inte bara syndare, vi drabbas också av andras synd. Därför har jag skrivit den här masteruppsatsen om hur upplevelser av att drabbas av andras synd påverkar upplevelser av gudstjänst, eller mer specifikt upplevelser av huvudgudstjänst med nattvard i SEvery Sunday we have the opportunity to visit a service in the Church of Sweden, to confess our sins and to hear that we are forgiven. But we human beings are not just sinners, we are also sinned-against. Therefore I have written this master’s thesis on how experiences of being sinned against affect experiences of worship, or more specifically experiences of the main Sunday service with Eucharist
The reign of the ʿAbbāsid caliph al-Mutawakkil (847-861) is consistently presented in research literature as a milestone in the ups and downs of religious persecution in the early centuries of Islamic civilization. In this bachelor’s thesis I seek to discern what the intentions and motivations of al-Mutawakkil were in institutionalizing his particular brand of state-level discrimination. Research
The postmodern western society has influenced the labour market, which is now said to become increasingly similar to the contemporary consumer market. Furthermore, a new generation, Generation Y, has emerged on the labour market and contributes to this development. The changing labour market has forced companies to find new ways to develop a strong employer brand in order to attract, motivate and
Inom EU:s konkurrensrätt kan man se utvecklingen av en mer begränsad domstolsprövning, samt ett mer ekonomiskt syn- och tillvägagångssätt. Vid studie av artikel 102 EUF-fördraget, är det vidare uppenbart att dominanta företag måste förlita sig på analys och bevis av ekonomisk art för att påvisa att missbruk av dominerande ställning inte är för handen. Något som emellertid rimmar dåligt med en situWithin the field of competition law one can outline two developments, namely that of a limited judicial review and secondly that of a ‘more economics-based’ approach. In studying Article 102 TFEU, it is evident that dominant companies must rely upon economic evidence and reasoning in order to show that an abuse of dominance has not taken place. This application of the article, however, works poorl
In an increasing number of Organizations for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, the quality of hospital care has been subject to various forms of health policies. Despite much research on the determinants of health care quality, there is no consensus on the underlying factors of health care quality. This thesis contributes to the previous works by analyzing the relationship be
This paper deals with the Swedish Criminal Code Chapter 6, paragraph 14. The primary aim has been to investigate, from an unbiased and sociology of law perspective, how the regulation is interpreted by the courts, and then compare it to the legislator’s interpretation. My secondary aim has been to analyze what victomological consequences that can arise from an unclear regulation. In order to fulf
