Risk analysis of Geomagnetically Induced Current (GIC) in Power Systems

Solar storms are a phenomenon that has a wide array of adverse consequences on technological systems, power systems in particular. During severe solar storms a geomagnetically induced current (GIC) starts to flow through long conducting structures, such as power lines and pipelines. The probability of solar storms has a roughly linear relation with the sunspot activity level which varies in 11 yea

Genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes and its complications: analyses of DNA extracted from serum

Upptäcka gener inblandade i diabetes I många sjukdomar, så som diabetes, spelar människans gener en viktig roll i vem som insjuknar och hur utvecklingen sker. Därför är det viktigt att, i den mån det går, identifiera dessa gener så vid insjuknande, ge varje patient en mer specialiserad vård som kan bromsa sjukdomsförloppet. Diabetes är en metabolisk sjukdom där kroppen inte kan reglera glukoshaAbstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes, a metabolic disease rapidly increasing worldwide, is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal studies, such as the Malmö Prospective Project (MPP), give a unique opportunity to study life-long risk of developing a disease.

The Kalgoorlie gold : a review of factors of formation for a giant gold deposit

The Archaean Yilgarn craton in Western Australia is a granite greenstone belt with abundant economically important mineral reserves, including several world-class gold deposits such as the giant Kalgoorlie deposit. Structural controls on gold deposition and the fact that most deposits were formed later in the craton’s tectonic history, has resulted in the general acceptance of a late-orogenic str

The impact of Microcredit on Women’s Empowerment. - A case study of Microcredit in the Tangail district, Bangladesh.

The impact of microcredit on women’s empowerment remains debated. While some studies suggest that microcredit helps women increase their income earning abilities, leading to greater power within the household, others argue that men often take control over the microcredit allocated to women, which leads to a more vulnerable position within the household for women. This paper evaluates the impact of

A PGIS approach to unearthing Manchester’s Cultural Heritage “gold mine”

Cultural heritage tourism is regarded as one avenue that can be used to stimulate the economic viability of an area; this is strongly believed by the tourism proponents in the parish of Manchester, Jamaica. With a lagging economy, and various studies done in the area, there has been no significant movement by policy makers towards implementing a sustainable tourism product, much to the ire of the

Does organic farming lead to taxonomically more distinct communities compared to conventional farming?

Abstract Agricultural intensification is causing a worldwide loss in biodiversity, and organic farming has been proposed as a valid method for preserving it. Studies have shown that organic farming increases species abundances, however the taxonomic breadth of communities may be an additional important biodiversity measure which is not affected by study intensity or sample size. The aim of this s

Characterization of an IgG glycan hydrolyzing enzyme from Streptococcus pneumoniae

Abstract Streptococcus pneumonia secretes a number of glycosidases that modify the glycosylation state of immune defense molecules such as immunoglobulins. Modulation of the glycan on IgG can affect the function and structural properties on IgG and cause immune disorders. StrH is a β – N acetylglucosaminidase that removes terminally linked N-­‐ acetylglucosamines from human glycoproteins. It is d

Anställningsskyddet vid arbetsbrist

Denna uppsats behandlar uppsägningsgrunden arbetsbrist och begränsningar i arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt vid uppsägning. Med arbetsbrist avses i lagens mening inte enbart brist på verkliga arbetsuppgifter för arbetstagarna utan även en mängd andra situationer där arbetstagare blir överflödiga. Lagen om anställningsskydd är, i situationer då arbetsbrist föreligger, inte tänkt att ge ett befattn

Mixade Stereotyper genom implicit mätning av värme och kompetens

Denna studie har undersökt mixade stereotyper genom att mäta uppfattningar på dimensionerna värme och kompetens för två etniciteter, asiat och afrikan. Tidigare forskning har i huvudsak genomförts på explicit nivå, vilket gjorde det intressant att testa ifall mixade stereotyper gick att finna på implicit nivå. Det hade inte heller gjorts implicita mätningar mot etniciteter och studien under-sökte

Arbetsgivarens språkkrav i rekryteringsprocessen - En begäran som leder till etnisk diskriminering av vissa arbetssökande?

Språkkrav av arbetsgivaren i rekryteringsprocessen kan leda till etnisk diskriminering av vissa arbetssökande. En arbetsgivares uppställda krav vid rekrytering på att en arbetssökande ska ha ett lands språk som modersmål kan utifrån etnisk tillhörighet ses som direkt diskriminerande, vilket i svensk rätt regleras i 1 kap. 4 § 1 p. DL. Med stöd av artikel 18 i EUF kan ett sådant språkkrav även anse
