A heritagescape in the Appalachians: When a tornado came to Kinzua

Deep in the mountains near the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania, USA lay the twisted ruins of the Kinzua Bridge, once an important transportation link and landmark for the region’s identity and heritage. Once the bridge fell out of use in the late 1950s, the Kinzua Bridge State Park was created to promote tourism and highlight the region’s history and exceptional natural landscapes. Yet,

Flexible supercapacitors based on vertical graphene/carbon fabric with high rate performance

Vertical graphene (VG) is a remarkable electrode material for supercapacitors due to its large specific area, open channel structures, and numerous exposed edges with high electrochemical activity. However, flexible supercapacitors with high rate performance based on VG have yet to be investigated. Here, we report flexible supercapacitors based on VG, carbon fabric (CF) current collector, and H2SO

It was found that the literature is dominated by research on modern technology (Augmented Reality, Virtual Rea

Warming reshapes the invertebrate predation pressure on the plankton community

Climate change stressors, including warming and heatwaves, can alter plankton composition and dominance patterns in temperate shallow lakes, which can disrupt ecosystem function and curtail ecosystem services. Understanding how these alterations could take place under future climates is therefore important. To understand such changes, we performed a year-long mesocosm experiment with controls refl

“De socionomer som kommer nya har ju noll koll på yrket.” En kvalitativ studie av chefers upplevelser av nyexaminerade socionomers teoretiska kunskap och praktiska färdighet

Social work education has been subject to discussion throughout history. The competence of newly graduated social workers is questioned in facing complex social problems and new challenges in society.

Flyktig nödvärnsrätt – Om svårigheten att tänka klart under stress och rädsla i en nödvärnssituation

Uppsatsen har som syfte att kritiskt granska försvarlighetsbedömningen och excessbedömningen som görs i nödvärnssituationer. Ett psykologiskt perspektiv används för att analysera huruvida Högsta domstolen har skapat en för långtgående skyldighet att fly istället för att försvara sig med våld. Det är endast nödvärn vid brottsligt angrepp på person som behandlas. Jag använder mig av den rättsdogmatiThe purpose of this essay is to critically examine the Supreme Court’s judgments regarding the justifiability of self-defense and excessive self-defense. A psychological perspective is applied to analyze if the Supreme Court has created a too extensive obligation to escape instead of using violence to defend oneself. This essay only covers self-defense from criminal attacks on a person. I use a le

Women Human Rights Defenders in Georgia: Analyses of the Situation of Women Human Rights Defenders in Georgia

Women human rights defenders are the center of the thesis (WHRDs). The thesis is based on my three years of professional experience as a human rights defender, which have given me a thorough awareness of the challenges WHRDs encounters and the knowledge I obtained through the postgraduate course. Considering that I was unfamiliar with the exact challenges WHRDs faced, I wanted to examine problems

Omplaceringar i modern tid - En uppsats om arbetsgivarens skyldigheter och befogenheter att omplacera arbetstagare

Arbetsgivaren har rätt att leda och fördela arbetet för sin verksamhet. Arbetstagaren har samtidigt en skyldighet att utföra arbete för sin arbetsgivare som arbetstagaren sedan betalas tillbaka i form av lön. Arbetsgivaren får däremot inte beordra arbetstagaren att utföra vilket arbete som helst eller omplacera en arbetstagare utanför ramen för anställningen om inte det finns godkända skäl för detThe employer has the right to direct and distribute the work for his own business. At the same time the employee has an obligation to carry out work for his employer in exchange for payment in the form of salary. On the other hand the employer may not order the employee to carry out all forms of labor or decide where the employee shall carry out the work. The essay clarifies what the employer’s wo

News in Nanocrystals Seminar : Self-Assembly of Early Career Researchers toward Globally Accessible Nanoscience

In 2020, many in-person scientific events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a vacuum in networking and knowledge exchange between scientists. To fill this void in scientific communication, a group of early career nanocrystal enthusiasts launched the virtual seminar series, News in Nanocrystals, in the summer of 2020. By the end of the year, the series had attracted over 850 part

Göteborg 1713 : en visuell mikrohistoria

Under början av 1700-talet förändrades Göteborg. Stadens invånare, tomter och bebyggelse kom i allt större utsträckning att bevaras inom en tidigmodern struktur. Göteborg 1713 – en visuell mikrohistoria är en bok som handlar om stadens invånare och deras möjligheter att själva definiera sin omgivning under århundradets inledande decennier. Staden i boken är en plats i förändring som i skuggan av s

The effects of station density in geostatistical prediction of air temperatures in Sweden : A comparison of two interpolation techniques

High fidelity gridded temperature datasets are difficult to obtain for areas with sparse coverage of meteorological stations given that sparsity of stations is known to introduce uncertainty in the interpolation of climatic variables generally. Inspired by their potential for optimal results especially for small sample datasets, we assessed and compared the accuracy of interpolation results of Emp

The Best Interests of the Child Principle in Swedish Asylum Cases : The Marginalization of Children’s Rights

This article is based on a two-year research project, ‘The Best Interests of the Child – From Words to Deeds’. The aim of the article is to present and highlight findings on the discrepancy between the policy of the ‘best interests’ principle and its implementation in the asylum application procedures at the Swedish Migration Board. There is a clear ambition to implement the principle of the best

Multi-scale dynamics for a lean-burn spark ignition natural gas engine under low load conditions

This work investigates the multi-scale dynamics of the combustion system in a lean-burn spark ignition natural gas engine using different gas injection timings (GIT). The in-cylinder pressure time series are measured, and the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) time series are calculated. The influence of GIT on the combustion system is investigated through wavelet analysis, multi-resolution
