Detailed diagenetic studies of the late Cambrian Alum Shale in southern Sweden were undertaken across an interval that includes the peak Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion (SPICE) event to evaluate the pyrite mineralization history in the formation. Samples were collected from the Andrarum-3 core (Scania, Sweden); here the Alum was deposited in the distal, siliciclastic mudstone-rich end
The stress intensity factor is investigated for a long plane crack with one tip interacting with a strip of graded elastic material. In the strip the material may have a non uniform modulus of elasticity whereas variation of Poisson’s ratio is ignored. The crack length and the body dimensions are assumed to be large compared to the linear extent of the graded region. The crack tip including the gr
Over the last 50 years, the production and consumption of chicken meat have soared in Bolivia. This paper analyzes the political, economic, and cultural developments that have led to the popularity of chicken meat in this country. It also asks who has benefitted from this success story. The author uses data from one year of multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Bolivia in order to give an account
Interactions between cortical areas were studied during the search for verbal associations and reading of words. The functional anatomy and the sequence of involvement of cortical areas during the solution of these tasks have been described previously, in studies using positron emission tomography and multichannel recordings of evoked potentials combined with identification of the locations of dip
The displacement speed that characterises the self-propagation of isosurfaces of a reaction progress variable is of key importance for turbulent premixed reacting flow. The evolution equation for the displacement speed was derived in a recent work of Yu and Lipatnikov (Phys Rev E 100:013107, 2019a) for the case where the flame is described by a transport equation for single reaction progress varia
It has been over 25 years since the AIDS epidemic was first recognised. HIV/AIDS has claimed more lives in South Africa than in any other country in the world. The pandemic has devastating impacts on society. Children infected or affected by the virus are hit particularly hard and the AIDS pandemic negatively affects children and their human rights in numerous ways: physically, emotionally and eco
Information and communication technologies have acquired contemporary prominence and are being introduced as new and technologically innovative devices for rapid African development, becoming key cornerstones of the development assistance interventions of the European Union and the G8. But the Dot Force Initiative of the G8 and the various ICT for development programmes of the EU display a moderni
The objective of this thesis has been to explore the potential for expansion of wind power in Serbia, through analysis of the key drivers and barriers for further development. This has been done primarily through literature review and semi-structured interviews. After elaborating on the institutional setting and national legal framework, this thesis examines international circumstances that impact
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Hjälper Nhandugue-flodens vatten Urema-sjön i Gorongosa Nationalpark, Moçambique, från att torka ut? I de centrala delarna av Moçambique ligger Gorongosa Nationalpark som skyddar ett omfattande ekosystem av flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter drygt 20 år av inbördeskrig hade 1994 antalet stora däggdjur, så som lejon, zebror och bufflar, minskatGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Rift. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. From 20 years of civil war the large-mammal population in the park had in year 1994 been reduced by 90 % or more, and in 2004 a restoration project was started in order
Sociala hänsynstaganden, som exempelvis spelberoende, minderårigas spelande samt förebyggandet av brottslighet och bedrägeri, har traditionellt motiverat Medlemsstaternas nästintill ovillkorliga rätt att reglera spel på nationell nivå. När spel på Internet introducerades valde EU-domstolen att applicera samma argument och fortsätta bekräfta denna rätt. Internetspel har dock förändrat den traditionConcerns of public interest, such as the prevention of problem gambling, underage gambling and evading the risks of crime and fraud, have in the jurisprudence of the CJEU traditionally been used to justify a wide discretionary right for the Member States to regulate gambling. When online gambling was introduced, the CJEU decided to apply the same arguments and continue to affirm the strong rights
A critical stage for the construction of steel-concrete composite bridges occurs during casting of the bridge deck, when the wet concrete has still not hardened. The entire construction load is then taken by the non-composite steel sections. Bracing may be needed to make the slender girders rigid enough to resist lateral torsional buckling during this phase. If temporary formwork could be attached
The main sustainability goal of many small islands in the North Sea is to become self supplied in renewable energy in 20-30 years. The majority of the islands are trying to repeat Samsø‘s success – to make a transition towards energy sustainable system by new energy production from local renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass. However, for other islands like Spiekeroog island, a tourist
This essay is a part of the Program for Social Work 210 p, Lund University. Our aim with this study was to explore how the interaction and services around children of mentally ill parents functions. Two of the main questions have been: How does the interaction work between social services, child and adolescent psychiatry, adult psychiatry and a support group for children and young people around ch
In an era of globalization, international legal frameworks and vigorous international politics, we cannot refrain from hearing about the extensive health crisis of the developing world. HIV/AIDS, Malaria and drug resistant tuberculosis are only a few of the widespread disease which appear almost surreal to the citizens of the industrial world. The debates and discussions regarding the importance o
