En borrkärna från Anholt (Kattegatt) togs upp under IODP-expedition 347 i Östersjön. Kärnan är daterad till ~18-14 ka BP och representerar deglaciationen i slutet av Weichselistiden. Bentiska foraminiferer av arten Elphidium excavatum clavatum analyserades för stabila isotoper (δ18O och δ13C) för att rekonstruera region-ens paleoklimat och paleoceanografi, såsom salinitet, ventilation och produktiThis thesis is based on a sediment record collected from the Kattegat Sea, southwestern Scandinavia (Anholt Island area) during IODP Expedition 347 in autumn 2013, and focuses on a portion of this record spanning ~18—14 thousand years ago (ka BP), representing the last deglaciation at the end of the Weichselian. Benthic foraminifera of the species Elphidium excavatum clavatum were analysed for sta

Undersökning och hantering av arsenikförorenade brunnar i Nicaragua Arsenik förorenar dricksvatten i Nicaragua och framkallar cancer. Lösningen är enkel: sand, tegelstenar och järnspikar. Varje år dör hundratusentals människor till följd av arsenikförorenat dricksvatten. Världshälsoorganisationen WHO listar arsenik på topp-tio-listan över de kemikalier i världen som hotar människors hälsa mest. The awareness of problems concerning arsenic contaminated drinking water sources has during recent years increased. WHO (World Health Organization) decided in 1993 to lower the recommended limit of arsenic in drinking water from 50 μg/l to 10 μg/l, mainly due to observations of its carcinogenicity. New places where the WHO limit for arsenic is exceeded are constantly discovered all over the world.

The majority of the current 3GPP and M2M networks use or will use IPv6 for accessing the internet. These IPv6 networks use Neighbor Discovery as defined in RFC 4861 to identify their neighbors on the link and see if they are active. The increase in the complexity of wireless networks and introduction of battery operated devices sets forth notable challenges to certain assumptions in the RFC 4861.

This research supports the hypothesis that consultation, team work and congruence is a strategy to reduce risk, and that effective consultation reduces the potential for outrage when things do not go to plan. The research sought the opinion of managers on these matters, and if they were aware of own-biases that undermine the effectiveness in which they engage, and of antidotes to such “hazardous t

There are various ways in which Enterprise Architecture (EA) is defined these days. One of the more common definitions is that EA is a dashboard that allows business architects and other stakeholders to govern an enterprise’s transformation process. This dashboard shows current operations as well as its future and desired state. In theory this might seem as a good tool for enterprise architects bu

Recently a new way of constructing variable step-size multistep methods has been proposed, that parametrizes the entire domain of multistep methods. In the presented work the case of explicit two-step methods is looked at, analyzed and related to the already known theory of multistep methods. The error coefficient is derived as a function of the step-size ratio and an upper limit to the method dom

Product Service Systems offer companies the possibility to reduce environmental impacts by diminishing resource consumption, raw material extraction and waste generation. The concept focuses on a system of products, services and supporting networks with the aim of transitioning from selling the benefits of a product rather than the actual product. Naturally, incentives are created for companies to

Denna uppsats syfte är att undersöka sätt att utveckla engagemang i och förståelse av klimatfrågan genom läsundervisning. Metoden jag har valt för att utreda det är aktionsforskning, genomförd på en gymnasieskola i södra Skåne. Där gjorde jag med sex elever en övning utifrån min valda sorts läsundervisning, lässtrategin dialogbaserad strategiundervisning, och en aktuell text om klimathotet. På så

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om svenska företag resultatmanipulerar åren innan konkurs. Dessutom syftar denna studie till att undersöka om mängden resultatmanipulering åren innan konkurs korrelerar med hur kapitalintensiva företagen är och med företagens storlek. Metod: Studien har använt den modifierade Jones-modellen för att mäta mängden resultatmanipulering bland 738 svenskaPurpose: The purpose of this study is to examine if Swedish companies perform earnings management four years prior to filing for bankruptcy. This study also aims to examine whether the amount of earnings management before bankruptcy correlates with how capital intense the companies are and the size of the companies. Methodology: The modified Jones model has been used to measure the amount of earn

Title: Sustainable investments. How are they interpreted and used as a part of branding?

Do bacteria handle stress better than us? Do bacteria have stress too? Are they able to deal with stress? If so, how do bacteria deal with stress? Certainly, bacteria experience stress too. Bacterial stress can be chemical (caused by toxic, harmful compounds e.g. antibiotics), or physical (caused by heat or harsh environment). Bacteria are pretty smart to handle stress. They have developed specif

Användning av den maltosnegativa jäststammen Saccharomycodes ludwigii för tillverkning av alkoholfri öl, metodutveckling. I detta projekt har en metod utvecklats som ger mikrobryggerier möjligheten att tillverka alkoholfri öl. I takt med att fler blir medvetna om alkoholens negativa effekter, ökar intresset för alkoholfri öl, även hos väldigt små bryggeriet, så kallade mikrobryggerier. Då det kräNon-alcoholic beer is gaining more attention in the brewing industry due to the negative health and economic consequences of alcohol consumption, even smaller microbreweries are showing interest in the production of non-alcoholic beer. Producing non-alcoholic beer has been restricted to the large breweries due to the special equipment needed and the high investment costs, but by using biological m

The purpose of this paper was to develop a better understanding of the discursive, cognitive and emotional experience of symbolic management attempts of strategic change and its enactment in the organizational practice from both a managerial and a non-managerial perspective. To realize this research purpose, we conducted an explorative, ethnographically-inspired qualitative case study in a single

Apoptosis is a vital physiological defence mechanism against tumorigenesis and critical for embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and discharging damaged or infected cells. Protein members of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family regulates the cellular commitment to cell survival or programmed cell death by intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptosis. In response to intracellular stresses, this apoptotic bala

This master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to create a construction which ensures an easier installation by replacing screws with other alternative assembly methods. The project has been performed at Axis Communications AB, which is the market leading company in network cameras. A previous project called Rocky provided the idea of an excenter lock compressing an

Bakgrund: Det finns en brist på studier som belyser omvårdnad inom ambulanssjukvården. Fokus ligger på den akuta medicinska behandlingen och omvårdnadsåtgärder prioriteras inte i ett akut skede. För att kunna utveckla ambulanssjukvård är det viktigt att inte bortse från omvårdnadsbehov i det akuta skedet. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att belysa ambulanssjuksköterskors perspektiv på om

Under projektets gång användes gen-editeringsmetoden CRISPR/Cas9 för att förhindra uttrycket av en gen som är associerad med en familjär form av ALS i två stamcellslinjer som hade blivit differentierade till hjärnceller. Genom genuttrycksanalys visades att CRISPR/Cas9 hade lyckats orsaka en fyrfaldig minskning av SOD1-uttryck i båda cellinjer. Amyotrofisk lateralskleros, förkortat ALS är en neuromAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the degeneration and death of both upper and lower motor neurons for which there is no cure currently available. The degeneration of motor neurons leads to the inability to carry out voluntary movement and death usually occurs 3-5 years after disease onset by respiratory failure. The most common cause of familial ALS i
