In my paper I have compared popular science and neutral science regarding language and construction. My task was to find out if there are differences between the language of popular science and that of scientific science. The purpose of my paper is to answer four questions 1.How do the authors present the bogbodies and the mummies in the two categories? 2.What does the popular science imagine th
According to international treaty law as well as international customary law, threats of (armed) force are considered as one of the gravest violations of international law. Yet, threats of force frequently occur in international relations, often lacking condemnation by the international community. There are a number of reasons to why threats of force are sometimes passed by unconsidered by the int
MAX-lab is a national synchrotron radiation facility in Lund. Nowadays, the MAX project consist of three facilities (three storage rings). A new storage ring is needed to improve material science, such as nanotechnology. MAX IV, also in Lund, will be 100 times more efficient than already existing synchrotron radiation facilities. The storage ring is controlled by a large number of magnets that are
Jakten på vapen som distanserar soldaten från själva slagfältet har pågått ända sedan övergången från krigsföring med knivar till krigsföring med pil och båge. Idag har denna ambition närapå nått fullständighet med det ständigt växande antal obemannade, fjärrstyrda farkoster som snabbt håller på att bli den vanligaste och mest framstående metoden att föra krig. Politiska incitament såsom att kapa
This dissertation aims to contribute empirically and theoretically, to the field of Islamology and Religious Studies in general. It does so by investigating the possible relation between Israeli Muslim women’s choice of religious identification and their individual experiences in everyday life transitions. Many of these women are traveling daily from their hometowns or villages to the major cities
Popular Abstract in English Retailers are increasingly expected to use their market power to support the societal goal of sustainable consumption and production (SCP). For retailers, the challenge herein lies in the difficulty to translate the abstract societal discourse into concrete action in the marketplace. This thesis argues that retailers are well advised to give more attention to the indiviRetailers across Western Europe are faced with the challenge to integrate the idea of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) into their operations. The difficulty hierin lies in the the lack of any clear understanding or agreement for what the term implies for retailers and how to implement it in retailers’ daily operations. Instead, retailers need to handle a number of different – at times
We present a study of spectral diagnostics available from optical spectra with R = 17 000 obtained with the VLT/Giraffe HR15n setup, using observations from the Gaia-ESO Survey, on the gamma Vel young cluster, with the purpose of classifying these stars and finding their fundamental parameters. We define several spectroscopic indices, sampling the amplitude of TiO bands, the H alpha line core and
Background: Reliable exposure data is a vital concern in medical epidemiology and intervention studies. The present study addresses the needs of the medical researcher to spend monetary resources devoted to exposure assessment with an optimal cost-efficiency, i.e. obtain the best possible statistical performance at a specified budget. A few previous studies have suggested mathematical optimization
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Allt fler rapporter har kommit under de senaste åren som visar på att våg- och stormklimatet har förvärrats sedan 1960-talet. Detta har oroat bland andra återförsäkringsbolag som har betalat ut allt mer pengar till stormrelaterade skador de senaste åren. Andra undersökningar har visat att det nuvarande storm- och vågklimatet inte är värre än det var i början av The effects of a global climatic change on the wind climate of northwestern Europe are investigated with the aid of a regional climate model. There have up to date been few studies of how the wind climate will react to a greenhouse gas warming. Those that have been done are mostly global scale studies and centered on changes in storm activity during the winter season. I’m using data from a regiona
Abusive behaviour by dominant undertakings is regulated in Article 82 EC. One of the ways to abuse a dominant position is through tying or bundling, and Article 82(d) states that: ''making the conclusion of contracts subject to acceptance by the other parties of supplementary obligations which, by their nature or according to commercial usage, have no connection with the subject of such co
Phenological observations of terrestrial ecosystems are useful in monitoring the changes in the local climate due to their relatively long time series and high temporal resolution. However performing field based phenological observations can be a labour intensive and time consuming process. Using satellite-based remotely sensed data can make the process much more efficient. Although the satellites
Monte Carlo-simuleringar har fått en ökad betydelse som forskningsverktyg inom nuklearmedicinsk bildgivning eftersom man på ett mycket kontrollerat sätt kan studera nästan vad man vill. I denna studie har datorsimuleringar av ett PET-system gjorts med ett program som heter GATE. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) är en nuklearmedicinsk bildgivningsteknik som används mer och mer inom sjukvården sIntroduction: Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool in research in the field of nuclear medicine imaging and there is a wide area of applications. The purpose of this work was (1) to understand the basics of the Monte Carlo simulation software Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE); (2) to create a model of Philips Gemini TF PET/CT system; (3) to run a number of simulations to comp
Pilotstudien i Vångs by, Johannishus, belyser historiska kartors relevans vid geologisk jordartskartering. Jordartsgeologiska kartor är viktiga för fysisk planering och används av kommuner, länsstyrelser, konsulter m.fl. Johannishusområdets jordartsgeologi är representativ för stora delar av Sverige och innehåller jordarter som bildats både över och under högsta kustlinjen (HK). Syftet med studienThe study in Vång by, Johannishus, highlights relevance of using historical maps in geological survey of quaternary deposits. Maps of quaternary deposits are important for planning and are used by municipalities, county administrative boards, consultants and others. The Quaternary deposits in Johannishus are representative of large parts of Sweden and were formed both above and below the highest c
Polisman har enligt svensk rätt befogenhet att under olika omständigheter meddela tillsägelser och andra liknande direktiv till allmänheten. Den närmare innebörden av denna befogenhet – den så kallade befallningsrätten – beskrivs emellertid ofta som oklar och ämnet har aldrig varit föremål för en sammanhållen och genomgripande akademisk behandling. I föreliggande uppsats utforskas innehållet i ochAccording to Swedish law a police officer has the authority under certain circumstances to issue commands and similar directions to the public. The extent of this power – the so called command authority (befallningsrätten) – is however often described as ambiguous and the area has never been the subject of a cohesive and pervasive academic study. In the present essay the contents and boundaries of
I media har diskussioner angående förbud mot rasistiska organisationer väckts i samband med att Nordiska motståndsrörelsen (NMR) kandiderar till riksdagsvalet i Sverige, samtidigt som organisationen förbjudits i Finland då den anses sprida hatretorik och legitimera våld. Förespråkare av ett sådant förbud argumenterar att Sverige genom FN:s Internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former In the media, discussions about banning racist organizations have been raised in connection with the Nordic resistance movement (NMR) standing as a candidate in the Swedish parliamentary elections, while at the same time the organization has been banned in Finland because it is considered to spread hate and legitimize violence. Advocates of a ban argue that Sweden through the International Convent
Det har hävdats att den teoribildning rörande beslutsfattande under osäkerhet som utvecklats främst inom matematiken, men även inom den ekonomiska vetenskapen bland andra, med fördel skulle kunna inkorporeras även i den juridiska disciplinen. I första hand är det i detta sammanhang Bayes sats som avses, och denna sats tillämplighet på juridiska spörsmål. Detta började diskuteras på allvar mot slutThere have been claims put forth which aims at proving that the theories developed within mathematics, but also within economics to name one, regarding decision making and fact finding would suit very well to be adopted into the legal decision making as well. It is in this context primarily Bayes’ theorem which is referred and mentioned theorems compatibility with law. One of the first articles re
Djurplågeri ses i allmänhet inte som ett artbrott efter det prejudicerande rättsfallet NJA 2006 s.339. Min uppsats undersöker om det finns goda rättsliga skäl till att betrakta djurplågeri som ett artbrott. Huruvida ett brott ska anses vara ett artbrott eller inte fastslås huvudsakligen av HD:s praxis, eftersom varken lag eller förarbeten ger uttömmande information kring begreppet. Huvudsakliga In general, animal cruelty is not seen as a crime that should result in imprisonment (Sw. ’artbrott’), as a consequence of the case NJA 2006 page 339. This essay examines whether there are good reasons for animal cruelty to be considered as artbrott. Whether or not a crime is to be considered as an ’artbrott’ is mainly established by HD, since neither the law nor preparatory work give any exhaust
Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic entities that have the ability to move around the genome and regulate nearby genes. Therefore, they constitute a potential threat (and sometimes an evolutionary advantage) for the host's genome. Among other regulatory activities, DNA methylation and KRAB-ZNF are responsible for TE silencing. The dysregulation of these silencing mechanisms have been studi
År 1999 kriminaliserade Sverige köp men inte försäljning av sexuell tjänst som första land i världen. Uppsatsen syftar till att förklara motiven bakom förbudet, utvärdera motivens uppfyllande genom kriminaliseringen och analysera kravet på dubbel straffbarhet i relation till motiven. Detta görs genom en rättsdogmatisk respektive en rättsanalytisk metod. Uppsatsen intar framförallt ett kritiskt perThe year of 1999 Sweden was the first country in the world to criminalise the purchase but not the sale of sexual services. The purpose of the essay is to explain the motives behind the legislation, to evaluate the fulfilling of the motives through the legislation and to analyze the dual criminality requirement in relations to the motives. This is done through a legal dogmatic method and a legal a
