Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kalksten är en av våra viktiga geologiska resurser och har genom historien använts till byggnadsmaterial, jordbruk och inom modern industri. Kalksten i alla dess former har varit en viktig del av människans kulturella och teknologiska utveckling. Ett av alla dess användningsområden är som flussmedel vid bearbetning av järnmalm; bränd kalk tillsätts när malmen smäQuicklime (CaO) is an important geological resource with a wide variety of industrial uses. It is a base chemical produced from the burning of limestone or dolomite. This process is referred to as calcination, during which the limestone is heated to temperatures of 900 °C or higher, resulting in the discharge of CO₂, leaving a yield of quicklime. The formula can be written as follows: Limestone:

Focusing on the norm: A study of social workers’ attitudes towards norms and a norm-critical approach. [translated title] Norms are constantly present in our society and affects us all by narrowing our view of each other and limiting people’s possibilities. Norms concerning social categories such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity and disabilities divide people into different categories based on pre

Sveriges vinmarknad skiljer sig från de flesta andra i världen. Försäljningen av alkohol styrs av ett statligt ägt monopol och dess leverantörer ställs inför tuff konkurrens om att få erbjuda sin produkt på den svenska marknaden. För att få in sitt vin i det ordinarie sortimentet måste vinimportörerna offerera på Systembolagets offertförfrågningar. Inköpsprocessen är lång och resurskrävande för bå

The aim of our study was to investigate whether the definition and perception of collaboration is linked to which organization you belong to and to study additional variables that can be the cause for definition or perception differences. The survey was conducted in four public sectors in Höganäs municipality using quantitative method with qualitative elements. The results of the study showed that

New product development is a complex process for bringing new products to the market. While manufacturing is a very repetitive process, the new product development has to be more flexible as the same product is never developed again. Therefore the theory behind lean manufacturing is not applicable in new product development. The purpose of this study is to propose improvements to Oriflame’s new pr

The aim of this thesis is to understand if theory based on economic dependency can be applied to two countries that belong to the Maghreb region: Algeria (DZA) and Morocco (MAR). The period analysed comprehends 1970 to 2010, and a time series approach is used for both countries. This paper will first review previous literature and findings related to dependency theory. Second, it will give a quali

Vintergatan, vårt hem i Universum, är den enda galax vi har möjlighet att studera i detalj. Med hjälp av observationer och beräkningar vet vi idag ungefär hur Vintergatan ser ut. Vi vet att Vintergatan består av en tunn skiva av stjärnor, stoft och gas, kallad den tunna disken. I mitten har den en utbuktning, kallad bulben. I och runtomkring finns en lite tjockare skiva med lägre densitet och bestThe formation history of the Milky Way galaxy is presently a subject of frequent investigation within astronomy. Of interest when constructing theories of the Galaxy’s formation is the question of whether or not there exist any gradients regarding ages of the stars within the stellar disks. In this project, a method for age-determination of stellar populations based on the Sobel Kernel edge detect

The aim of this thesis is to understand the subjective experiences of the people living in a Roma community in Romania, in the context of ethnic-based stigmatization and exclusion. Research themes include ethnic identity patterns, experiences of discrimination and racism, coping strategies and outlook on life. I first describe how the general label of “ţigani” (gypsies) overlooks more complex affi

Kameraövervakning tar allt större plats i offentliga och privata rum. De senaste åren rapporteras det om kameror inomhus på skolor där Datainspektionen ifrågasätter om övervakningen bryter mot Personuppgiftslagen (1998:204). Kameraövervakning fortsätter att vara ett populärt brottsförebyggande alternativ när det gäller situationell brottsprevention. Ursprung till dagens övervakning kan återfinnas

This thesis utilizes securitization theory in a comparative analysis of security discourses in both the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Peoples Republic of China by looking at how actors in both states frame and respond to security issues relating to the respective frontier regions of Khyber- pakhtun and Xinjiang The purpose of which has been to produce a paper addressing the complexities that ar

In recent years the appearance of private standards and codes of conduct has shaped the functioning of agri-food chains. These private standards, codes of conduct and quality meta- systems are similar concepts that evolved as a response to food scares and the growing expectations of consumers about quality and other attributes. Large retailers and supermarket chains have developed private standard

The current social security systems in Europe have not been able to deal with increased traditional and new risks such as unemployment or work-life balance. One suggested solution to this problem has gained more popular and academic support in recent years: the idea of a universal, unconditional basic income (UBI). This study, therefore, examines whether and how UBI could support social security s

The purpose of this study was to clarify and distinguish the discourses form the attitudes of professionals in Sweden, who in their daily work come in contact with women exposed

Vid avdelningen för kärnfysik utvecklas för närvarande andra generationens Ir-koincidensspektrometer. Anledningen till detta är att det finns ett stort behov bland geologer att mäta spårkvantiteter av Iridium i olika geologiska skikt för att korrelera skiktens ålder med eventuella stora meteoritnedslag. Första generationens spektrometer byggde på en dubbelkoincidens mätt med två HPGe-detektorer, mPresently, the development of the second generation Ir coincidence spectrometer is talking place at the division of Nuclear Physics. There is a large need among geologists to measure trace quantities of Ir in different geological layers and correlate the age of the layer with different large meteorite impacts. The first generation Ir spectrometer was based on a coincidence measured by two HPGe det

The purpose of this thesis is to discuss and analyze how constructions of masculinity and femininity are intertwined with land-related corruption in Vietnam. Drawing on masculinity theory and Nancy Fraser’s conceptualization of institutionalized injustice and participatory parity the thesis examines the relation between kinship systems and corruption and whether corruption leads to increased use o

Purpose/Aim: The aim of this thesis is to examine problem representations of immigrant women who, according to Swedish governmental documents, are not engaged in wage labour. Material/Method: The material consists of a Government Directive, a preliminary Swedish Government Official Report and two press releases by the Ministry of Employment, all related to the issue. The method of analysis is a d

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanns likheter eller skillnader i två domar för fridsbrott mot barn, eller det som i vardagen kallas för barnmisshandel i hemmet. Det empiriska materialet för studien bestod i två likvärdiga domar där brottsbeskrivningen var jämförbar, men gärningspersonerna tillhörde skilda kön och hade sin tillhörighet i två skilda socialklasser. Uppsatsens teoretiska

Two credit risk models are applied to calculate the expected distance to default in a sample of 32 Chinese listed non-financial companies from 2006 to 2011.One is the KMV(Merton) model under the machinery of option pricing and other is the market based model relied on a conditional version of capital asset pricing model(CAPM). The results imply that both KMV model and the market based model are va
