The ultramafic-mafic layered igneous Molopo Farms Complex straddles the border between South Africa and Botswana. Younger cover obscures this igneous complex and its country rocks, which are generally assigned to the Paleoproterozoic Transvaal Supergroup. The area intruded by the complex is characterized by abutting and contrasting successions of the upper Transvaal Supergroup (i.e., the Pretoria

INTRODUCTION: With the implementation of early reperfusion therapy, the number of complications in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has diminished significantly. However, ACS patients are still routinely admitted to units with high-level monitoring such as the coronary or intensive care unit (CCU/ICU). The cost of these admissions is high and there is often a shortage of beds. The aim o

Sekundär användning av e-hälsodata är ett viktigt steg i att direkt och indirekt stärka vården, både inom Sverige och EU. Inom kort förväntas den uppmärksammade EU-förordningen om ett European Health Data Space (EHDS) antas. Genom förordningen kommer ett gemensamt hälsodataområde skapas vilket bland annat möjliggör sekundär användning av uppemot 450 miljoner EU-medborgares e-hälsodata för exempelvSecondary use of e-health data is an important step in directly and indirectly strengthening healthcare, both in Sweden and the EU. The anticipated EU regulation on a European Health Data Space (EHDS) will create a common health data space, allowing for the secondary use of the e-health data of up to 450 million EU citizens for research, innovation and decision-making. This has the potential to re

This thesis focuses on flexible work, known as telework, that is done through the use of information communication technology (ICT) devices in the entertainment, new media and arts sector. Fieldwork was conducted with independent professionals who work either as a producer / director, editor or motion graphic artist for the entertainment, new media and arts sector in the Los Angeles area. When wo

The topic of Basic Colour Terms (BCT) and their proposed universality has long been a source of debate within linguistics. Whether colour terms (as symbols) fill lexical gaps of presumed universal colour categories (as senses) or not is relevant for the debate regarding linguistic relativity: the hypothesis about the influence of language on the way we think. Until now, there has been a focus on

Under vårterminen 2021 genomfördes en avhandling på Volvo GTO. Volvo Lastvagnar är en av de största aktörerna inom fordonsindustrin och levererar lastbilar över hela världen. Företaget erbjuder lastbilar som kan anpassas och modiferas efter kundens önskemål. Att erbjuda lastbilar med hög anpassnings- och förändringsgrad innebär en hel del påfrestningar på systemet vilket kräver att CAD-ritningar,During the spring term of 2021 a thesis was carried out at Volvo Trucks GTO. Volvo Trucks is one of the largest and most successful actors in the automotive industry and delivers trucks all over the world. The company offers trucks that can be customized and adapted according to the customer wishes. Offering highly customizable trucks puts a lot of stresses on the system which requires that CAD-

Using correlated ab initio methods, the polarizability of large [4n + 2]-annulenes is determined, showing that there exists an almost linear relation between the exaltation of magnetic susceptibility (a measure of aromaticity) and an equivalent enlargement of polarizability.

Numerous economic recovery packages have been implemented to stimulate green economic growth through the deployment of low-carbon technologies. The emerging literature shows, however, that there is substantial ambiguity and discrepancy about how to measure the performance of policy instruments driving a Green Economy in general, and in our case, a Green Energy Economy (GEE) in particular. Identifi

Dizziness and vertigo affect up to 20% of adults annually. Cervicogenic dizziness (CGD), a debated clinical entity, is characterized by dizziness associated with cervical pain or dysfunction, stemming from altered proprioceptive input from the cervical spine. Despite its recognition in clinical practice, CGD remains controversial due to its reliance on exclusionary diagnosis and the absence of spe

Problemformulering: Hur ser IGS strategiska process ut och vilken strategisk position har de idag? Hur påverkas företaget av en föränderlig omvärld? Syfte: Utredningens syfte är att studera och analysera IGS strategiska process samt undersöka hur applicerbara de tre strategiska synsätten är på fallföretaget ifråga. Vi har även för avsikt att se hur stor effekt den föränderliga omvärlden har på för

After a brief outlook on the field of concatenative synthesis of singing, with emphasis on the differences in comparison to synthesis of speech, the present paper gives an overview of a simple system for singing synthesis in Swedish based on concatenation of diphones. The system, called Burcas, accepts as input a text file for lyrics, from which it extracts a target phoneme sequence using basic le

In 1994, Rwanda was a country ravaged by ethnic violence of an incomprehensible scale as 800,000 people were killed within 100 days. Whilst the abhorrent events of Rwanda’s genocide lack justification, the genocide marked a turning point for women’s position in this traditionally patriarchal society. In this post-conflict context, this study investigates adults’ perceptions of the gendered divisio

Finns det någon poäng med att övertyga gästerna om varumärkets storhet om inte de anställda är med på tåget? Det har påpekats att utan motiverade och nöjda anställda riskerar varumärkets och ledningens löften till gästerna att bli tomma, då det är personalen som ska leverera den utlovade servicen. Vi anser det intressant att undersöka hur företag inom hotellbranschen arbetar med att motivera sin p

Catalonia is a nation with it's own language, its own culture, own policy and own history it is said. A non-independent nation that is living it's ordinary life flagging its banal symbols as if it al ready was an independent state. Some catalanistas assert that this kind of weirdness could be the death row for Catalonia and its future as in independent nation of its own. They state that it

The hitchhiker’s guide to satellite dependencies For the last half century, humanity has gained access to better weather reports, live coverage of the Olympics, and a handheld map of the globe, all thanks to satellites in space. But what happens if these satellites fail? That question has been asked, but never answered in full. This thesis has aimed to assists researchers in answering that questiVital societal functions and critical infrastructure rely to an increasing extent on services from space, such as navigation and positioning systems, timekeeping, and communications. However, understanding of space service dependencies is low among practitioners and society at large, with research on societal space dependency being limited as well. In order to avoid cascading effects from disrupti

Probing molecules using perdeuteration (i.e deuteration in which all hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium) is extremely useful in a wide range of biophysical techniques. In the case of lipids, the synthesis of the biologically relevant unsaturated perdeuterated lipids is challenging and not usually pursued. In this work, perdeuterated phospholipids and sterols from the yeast Pichia pastoris gr
