Popular Abstract in Swedish Senpleistocen nedisningshistoria på Nordöstgrönland: kosmogen exponeringsdatering, isutbredning och isdynamik Under den senaste istiden var periodvis stora delar av landmassorna på norra halvklotet istäckta. Idag är den Grönländska inlandsisen den enda större återstoden av detta, men likväl binder den tillsammans med isen i Antarktis och jordens mindre glaciärer väldigtThe aim of this thesis was to use cosmogenic exposure dating to investigating whether highly weathered landscapes in the Northeast Greenland fjord zone have developed during prolonged ice free conditions or have been preserved beneath cold-based ice. Previous work along the Northeast Greenland coast has presented two conflicting hypotheses for the extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the last

Abstract in Undetermined The book engages with politics of belonging among Kurdish youth and modes of accomodation to exclusionary practices in the context of ethnic and national inequality and oppression.

This paper explores how vehicle speeds are related to equitable, environmental and economic sustainability of urban areas. This relationship is manifested primarily through an association between vehicle speeds and road crash casualties, severity of pedestrian crashes, generation of harmful emissions, and relative desirability of neighboring land. Reported research findings describing each of thes

Abstract in UndeterminedTo operate biological nutrient removal processes efficiently, access to easily degradablecarbon is crucial. Internal production of good-quality carbon via hydrolysis of primary sludge has been proven to be a cost-effective way of securing the supply. This study confirms that a highqualitycarbon source can be produced by biological hydrolysis of preprecipitated primary sludg

The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the world's most powerful spallation neutron source when it comes in operation at the end of this decade. The ESS linac will accelerate 50mA of protons to 2 GeV in 2.86 ms long pulses at a repetition rate of 14 Hz on a tungsten target for neutron spallation. The linac contains 26 superconducting spoke cavities, which are being developed by IPN Orsay, Fr

I kapitlet beskrivs kognitiva och beteendeinriktade behandlingsmetoder vid sömnstörningar, i första hand insomni. En översikt ges av diagnos och analys utifrån en KBT-modell. Beteendeanalys med hjälp av intervju, sömndagbok och självskattningsskalor beskrivs. En sammanfattning görs av vanliga behandlingsmetoder som avslappningsmetoder, paradoxal intention, stimuluskontroll, sömnrestriktion och kog

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie behandlar krav som verksamhetens karaktär medför på ekonomisk styrning i social verksamhet inriktad mot barn och ungdomar. I kommuner finns flera verksamheter som bedriver ett omfattande arbete inriktat mot barn och ungdomar, t.ex. förskola, skola och socialtjänst. Många olika professionella aktörer är inblandade i arbetet med denna målgrupp, såsom förskollThe aim of this study is to contribute to an increased understanding of the demands that the operation’s character places on management control. The study’s point of departure is the assumption that management control must be adapted to the operation’s character in order to be able to support strategy implementation and the achievement of objectives (contingency theory). The study deals with the d

It is widely recognised that knowledge and highly-skilled individuals as “carriers” of knowledge (i.e. knowledge spillover agents) play a key role in impelling the development and growth of cities and regions. In this chapter we discuss the relation between the mobility of talent and knowledge flows. In this context, several issues are examined, including the role of highly-skilled labour for regi

In the water sector, there have been numerous failures in projects aiming at sustainable development and there have been some, but less numerous, examples of successes. However, the most striking observation is the near universal failure to learn from these examples. Somehow, scientists and decision makers have allowed the indications of new approaches and opportunities go undetected because they

New knowledge in science and engineering relies increasingly on results produced by scientific software. Therefore, knowing how scientists develop and use software in their research is critical to assessing the necessity for improving current development practices and to making decisions about the future allocation of resources. To that end, this paper presents the results of a survey conducted on

För att befrämja en omställning av energisystemet har den svenska riksdagen fastställt ett mål för produktion av vindkraftsel som innebär en kraftig utbyggnad av vindkraftskapaciteten. Denna utbyggnad ger upphov till lika många lovord och förväntningar som den väcker kritik och farhågor. Syftet med denna text är emellertid inte att lista dessa och än mindre att lösa de olika kontroverser som uppst

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) offers an unequivocal method of detecting and identifying land mines. Unfortunately, the practical use of NQR is restricted by the low signal to noise ratio (SNR), and means to improve the SNR are vital to enable a rapid, reliable and convenient system. In this paper, we develop a non-linear least squares detector exploiting the temperature dependency of the NQR
