It is becoming more and more common to exercise regularly, and with this new fitness trend follows more exercise applications to our smartphones. Applications aiming to help us exercise by structuring and logging our training. The user experience for these applications can be a little bit dull, since most of the applications depend on the user following instructions and entering input of the resul
I Sverige finns en åldersgräns på 18 år för att ingå äktenskap men det finns ändå barn under 18 år i Sverige som är gifta. De gifta barnen har ingått barnäktenskap utomlands. Äktenskapen har erkänts som giltiga i Sverige om makarna saknade anknytning till Sverige när äktenskapen ingicks. Diskussioner har förts om att regleringen av erkännande av utländska barnäktenskap måste ändras för att skyddetThe age limit for getting married in Sweden is 18 years. Yet there are children under the age of 18 in Sweden who are married. The children have gotten married abroad. The marriages have been recognized as valid in Sweden if the spouses had no connection to Sweden when the marriages were entered. Discussions have been held about that the regulation of recognition of foreign child marriages needs t
De senaste åren har rättsfall och debatter gjort allmänheten uppmärksam på att våld som sker inom idrott behandlas annorlunda än våld i andra delar av samhället. Vissa tycker att ett självstyre inom idrotten vore lämpligt, medan andra tycker att man inom idrotten bör följa samma regler som alla andra. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utreda hur idrottsvåld tar sig uttryck i den svenska rätten sIn recent years, court cases and debates has brought attention to the fact that violence between athletes, from a legal point of view is treated differently than violence in other areas of society. Some favor autonomy for the world of sports and others think that athletes should follow the same rules as everyone else. The purpose of this essay is to examine how violence between athletes during org
Konsumentköplagen ska balansera makten när näringsidkare säljer varor till privatpersoner. Enligt lagen ansvarar säljaren för att varan har den kvalitet och de egenskaper som parterna avtalat om samt att varan inte är felaktig i något annat avseende vid överlämnandet. Säljaren, eller någon annan kan även lämna garantier som är förmånligare för köparen. Om varan visar sig felaktig ger tvingande lagThe Consumer Sales Act has a purpose to balance the power when traders sell goods to consumers. According to the law, the seller is responsible for the product having the quality and properties that the parties have agreed on and that the product is not defected in any other respect at the time of delivery. The seller, or someone else, can also provide a guarantee that is more advantageous to the
The aim of this thesis is to get a better understanding of the evolution of the Milky Way stellar disc by looking at the abundance ratios for neutron-capture elements in thin and thick disc stars. In this project the formation of our Galaxy’s thin and thick disc was studied by analysing 10 different neutron-capture elements in field stars measured by Gaia-ESO. The methodology to determine if this
Gravitational encounters between a single star and a binary system can frequently occur in the cores of dense stellar systems like globular clusters. These three-body scattering encounters can lead to a variety of outcomes since the energy of the binary components can be exchanged with the interacting single star. The outcome of these interactions strongly depend on the initial conditions of the i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Anhöriga – aspekter på börda, livstillfredsställelse och effekter av stöd. Med en ökande befolkning av äldre och en samtidig minskning av möjligheter till hjälpinsatser inom såväl kommunalt som landstingsstyrd vård och omsorg, kommer många av oss ta hand om äldre familjemedlemmar, släktingar och vänner. Hur kommer detta att påverka oss? Ungefär 20 % av den vuxna befolWith an aging population and a reduction in social services provided by the municipality, a huge majority of us will take care of elderly family members, relatives and friends in need of assistance. How will this affect our lives? Approximately 20% of the adult population in Sweden, mainly middle-aged persons, identify themselves as family caregivers. Many of these caregivers are working and, at
This study highlights the expansion of butterflies and macromoths occurring in southern Sweden. Recent changes in climate and habitat has been stressed as the main factors influencing changes in species distributions. Climate change implies an increase in temperature and some species are assumed to extend their northern ranges. In this study we compiled information about the first observations of
We consider the following signaling game. Nature plays first from the set {1,2}{1,2}. Player 1 (the Sender) sees this and plays from the set {A,B}{A,B}. Player 2 (the Receiver) sees only Player 1’s play and plays from the set {1,2}{1,2}. Both players win if Player 2’s play equals Nature’s play and lose otherwise. Players are told whether they have won or lost, and the game is repeated. An urn sche
Dispersal is of prime importance for many evolutionary processes and has been studied for decades. The reproductive consequences of dispersal have proven difficult to study, simply because it is difficult to keep track of dispersing individuals. In most previous studies evaluating the fitness effects of dispersal, immigrants at a study locality have been lumped into one category and compared to ph
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen innehåller sju artiklar. Här presenteras ett nytt koncept för att beskriva hur fukt transporteras i porösa material. Detta bygger på införandet av en äkta flödespotential, Kirchhoff's potential. Betraktelsesättet täcker hela processen från mätning av materialdata till numerisk beräkning av fukttransport. Modeller för beräkning av fuktinträngning vid stegäThe work presented in this thesis is focused on the development of the new concept to describe isothermal moisture transport using Kirchhoff potentials. The first four papers deal with moisture transport in porous media using Kirchhoff potentials. The last three papers deal with wood. Here the theory is extended to the case of anisotropic moisture transport. The seven papers have the following con
Genetically engineered mice have successfully been used to investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms associated with cell dysfunction following brain trauma. Such animals may also offer a possibility to investigate mechanisms involved in posttraumatic hemodynamic alterations. The objective of the study was to establish a mouse model in which important hemodynamic alterations following trauma c
This paper takes its starting point with the enormous public attention that blogs got in 2008 regarding the “FRA” debate. In the media there is a consensus that the blogs influenced the parliamentary debate concerning the new law proposal. This essay intends to investigate the bearing of this consensus by comparing the debate in the blog sphere and the debate in the parliament and searching for si
This essay discusses the Nordic region Bohuslän the decade after it became "Swedish" in 1658, during what I call the region's "transition period". The wide cause of the study is to show how the traditional understanding of this state shift (and of state shifts in general) need to be problemized and understood in the light of the state conditions of Early Modern Europe. By e
Bitumen och dess egenskaper har länge ansetts vara den viktigaste faktorn för en asfalts funktion. Egenskaperna som finns är hos bitumen är relativt enkla att kontrollera. Eftersom egenskaperna är relativt lätta att kontrollera och mycket kunskap redan finns om bitumen har dess egenskaper ansetts vara det som är avgörande gällande hur en asfaltbeläggning kommer att agera då den brukas. MätmetodernBitumen and its properties have long been considered the most important factor in the function of asphalt. The attributes that are present in bitumen are relatively easy to control. Since the attributes are relatively easy to control and a lot of knowledge already exists of bitumen its attributes are considered to be the decisive factor in how an asphalt coating will act when it is being used. The
Rendered imagery is presented to us daily. Special effects in movies, video games, scientific visualizations, and marketing catalogs all often rely on images generated through computer graphics. However, with all the possibilities that rendering offers come also a plethora of challenges. This thesis proposes novel ways of evaluating the visual errors caused when some of those challenges are not co
To study the impact of additively manufactured (AM) roughness on fluid flow and heat transfer, we performed a series of high-fidelity large-eddy simulations on turbulent heat transfer over a three-dimensional AM rough surface with varying bulk Reynolds number and average roughness height values. We considered rough surfaces created using AM techniques at Siemens based on Nickel Alloy IN939 materia
