Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad får buddhister i dagens moderniserade Thailand att ge stora delar av sin inkomst till munkar? Och varför är det så viktigt att munkarna framstår som oegennyttiga och undviker fysisk kontakt med kvinnor? Frågorna behandlas utförligt i denna religionsantropologiska studie, baserad på en längre tids fältarbete i centrala, norra och nordöstra Thailand. Sociala och poliThis dissertation, based on 14 months of fieldwork carried out in central, northern and north-eastern Thailand, focuses on laypeople's demands on contemporary Thai Theravada sangha. In the aftermath of the economic breakdown in 1997, an intense discussion concerning the moral status of the sangha took place. The religious interests and demands clearly differ between different groups. What still se

Changes in the geometry of ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC) are crucial in controlling past changes of climate and the carbon inventory of the atmosphere. However, the accurate timing and global correlation of short-term glacial-to-deglacial changes of MOC in different ocean basins still present a major challenge. The fine structure of jumps and plateaus in atmospheric and planktic r

With the continued development of tracking technology and increasing interest in animal movement, our understanding of migration behavior has become more comprehensive. However, there are still many species that have not been well studied, particularly sea birds. Here, we present the first year-round Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking data of the Black-tailed Gull (Larus crassirostris) at th

To mitigate the climate change-induced water shortage and realize the sustainable development of agriculture, drip irrigation, a more efficient water-saving irrigation method, has been intensively implemented in most arid agricultural regions in the world. However, compared to traditional border irrigation, how drip irrigation affects the biophysical conditions in the cropland and how crops physio

Background: The diagnosis of paediatric cancer is a crisis for the parents who are the primary caregivers of the affected child. A comprehensive assessment of the longitudinal impact of childhood cancer on parental mental health and the potential sex differences between the parents is lacking. Thus, we aimed to explore the subsequent short- and long-term mental health outcomes among the parents of

FN:s handelskommission UNCITRAL har tagit fram en konvention om verkställighet av internationella medlingsöverenskommelser, den s.k. Singaporekonventionen. Konventionen möjliggör att internationella privata aktörer kan verkställa internationella kommersiella medlingsöverenskommelser i respektive avtalsslutande parters stater. Konventionen öppnade för anslutning år 2020 och i maj 2024 hade 56 ländeThe United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has developed a convention on the enforcement of settlement agreements resulting from international commercial mediation, known as the Singapore Convention. The convention allows international private actors to enforce international commercial mediation settlement agreements in the states of the respective contracting parties. The

The Tomten-1 drilling at Torbjörntorp in Västergötland, southern Sweden, penetrated 29.85 m of Cambrian Series 2 and 3, Furongian, and Lower and Middle Ordovician strata. The biostratigraphy, sedimentology and carbon isotope (δ13Corg) stratigraphy of the core have been analysed. The succession is interrupted by numerous stratigraphic gaps (i.e. hiatuses) of variable magnitudes. There also appear t

Bevis från terrestriska sedimentära lagerföljder indikerar att inflödet av extraterrestriskt material till Jorden inte är konstant, utan har varit förhöjt under perioder av Jordens historia. Ett ökat flöde av extraterrestriskt material till Jorden har föreslagits för perioderna mellanordovicium och sen eocen. Orsaken tros vara asteroidskurar orsakade av uppbrytningar av asteroider i asteroidbältetEvidence from terrestrial sedimentary successions indicate that the amount of extraterrestrial material reaching Earth is not constant, but has been increased during parts of the Phanerozoic. An increase in the flux of extraterrestrial material to Earth has been proposed for the Middle Ordovician and the Late Eocene. These showers of extraterrestrial material on Earth are thought to have resulted

Sustaining ontological security is crucial to people in life transitions, without which they will be in bad mental conditions. Media scholars have focused on media roles in the everyday life of people in life transitions for years. However, they rarely dive into the topic from this perspective. Therefore, the first aim of this thesis is to fill this gap; and I will do it by investigating how gay n

Kolhydrater är livsviktiga för människor och djur av fler anledningar än för att generera energi; överallt i kroppen –på cellmembran, inuti, och utanför celler – hittas långa kolhydratkedjor som kallas glukosaminoglykaner. Dessa kedjor bär många negativa laddningar, till stor del i form av sulfatgrupper, och kan vara självständiga eller kovalent bundna till ett protein – det senare fallet inkluderAll around in our bodies – inside and on top of cells, as well as in the extracellular matrix (ECM) – complex carbohydrate chains known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are to be found. While some of their properties are known, many functions and biosynthetic pathways remain undiscovered. Heparin is one of the GAGs whose function in the body is not completely known, however, it has been used as an ant

I december 2019 upptäckte smittskyddsmyndigheten i Kina ett helt nytt virus som senare skulle visa sig spridas och bryta ut till en pandemi över hela världen. Viruset har sedan dess fått namnet SARS-CoV-2 och bidrar till sjukdomen Covid-19. Viruset upptäcktes och identifierades för första gången i staden Wuhan i Hubeiprovinsen, för att sedan spridas till ett stort antal länder över hela världen. D

Denna uppsats ger en kort introduktion av begreppen "Post-normal Science (PNS)", "Extended Peer Community (EPC)" och "Environmental Decision Making (EDM)". PNS gäller när osäkerheten i samspelet mellan vetenskap och beslutsfattande är alltför stora för traditionell vetenskap och EPC är en metod som är en viktig del av PNS. EDM är ett system som försöker att hjälpa besThis thesis provides a brief introduction of the concepts “Post-normal Science (PNS)”, “Extended Peer Community (EPC)” and “Environmental Decision Making (EDM)”. PNS is applicable when uncertainties in the interface between science and decision making are too great for traditional science and EPC is a method which is an important part of PNS. EDM is a system that tries to assist the decision maker

Japans rättssystem före 1880 baserades på ett rättssystem av kinesiskt ursprung. Efter att Tokugawa-shogunatet föll 1867, genomförde den japanska regeringen en modernisering av rättssystemet genom reception av europeisk rätt. Inom straffrätten utfärdades 1880 och 1907 års Penal Code efter europeisk modell. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra straffrättsutvecklingen i Europa och Japan från 1700-tal

The water level-area-storage volume (Z-A-V) relationship serves as the cornerstone of reservoir operations, governing water allocation, flood mitigation, and power generation. Sedimentation-induced capacity alterations can progressively degrade Z-A-V accuracy, yet systematic curve updates remain inadequately implemented across developing nations. Traditional reconstruction approaches face inherent

Johanna Lindbladh (ed) The Poetics of Memory in Post-Totalitarian Narration Can we create a true memory of the past? How shall this truth, in that case, be presented? Against the background of a totalitarian epoch and its falsified history writing, the notions of memory, history and truth have received quite specific meanings. This book sheds light on several totalitarian and post-totalitarian reg
