This thesis is based on the results concerning the epitaxial growth and characterization of silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) nanostructures. The growth technique was the Ultra High Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition (UHV-CVD) that works in relatively low temperatures and low growth pressures. The UHV-CVD chamber was also used for the reduction experiments. The work presented here involves three diff
Disposal behaviour represent the last phase in the consumption cycle. From an environmental point of view it is extremely important to know the factors behind individual behaviour in waste handling. There are several aspects of interest, for example willingness of waste separation and re-use of products. The aim of this article is to analyse the importance of environmental concern, disposal behavi

A search is presented for the direct pair production of a chargino and a neutralino [Formula: see text], where the chargino decays to the lightest neutralino and the [Formula: see text] boson, [Formula: see text], while the neutralino decays to the lightest neutralino and the 125 GeV Higgs boson, [Formula: see text]. The final states considered for the search have large missing transverse momentum
The productivity of agricultural and forest ecosystems in regions at higher latitudes is to a large extent governed by low temperature and moisture conditions. Environmental conditions are acting both above- and below-ground and regulating carbon fluxes and evapotranspiration. However, the understanding of various feedbacks between vegetation and environmental conditions is still unclear. In this
More than 90% of DNA does not code for proteins and for a long time these sequences were referred to as “junk DNA” due to their unknown purpose. With the advent of new technologies it is now known, that the non-coding part of the genome is of great importance for regulating gene expression and is therefore indispensable. Transposable elements comprise about 50% of the genome and co-exist as symbio
Popular Abstract in English A central requirement in the design of bridge, or any structure, is that they are safe and do not fail unexpectedly. To ensure that such occurrences are acceptably rare involves predicting the various ways in which the bridge can fail and ensuring that provisions are made to prevent or control these potential failure. In other words, the risks associated with failure shEngineering design, in concise terms, is what engineers do using what they know. It is the underlying decision making activity that determines what is to be built and how it should be built. An ever present requirement in engineering design is that the structure should be safe. While historical approaches to safety in design relied on experience and engineering judgment, modern approaches have rat
China is a mega-diversity country with abundant natural resources, and the richness of these resources is demonstrated to be relevant with the local people’s historical interactions between biophysical and sociocultural systems. If we are to maintain biodiversity and strike a balance between human well-being and ecosystem service, it is important to incorporate the local people and their tradition
In England saltmarshes account for less than 0.5% of the land area, however they have a very high biodiversity value and provide significant economic and social worth. Climate change, continuous coastal urbanisation, and port development are a serious concern for coastal protection planners, city councils and the government. It is a challenge for these decision makers to balance the social, econom
Under senare år har en rad kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter begångna av multinationella företag mot sina anställda eller mot individer som på annat sätt påverkas av företagens verksamhet uppmärksammats av media, stater och internationella organisationer. Dessa kränkningar har framförallt begåtts i utvecklingsländer där respekten för de mänskliga rättigheterna i vissa fall är obefintlig. Proble
The principal rule of the common market is that goods and services are able to move freely across the borders of Member States. State monopolies in control of supply and demand are, therefore, only under exceptional circumstances compatible with the conditions of the common market. The compatibility of Swedish State monopolies with EC law is a controversial matter. The case-law of the ECJ lets us

Background and problem: In October 2010 the European Commission issued a Green Paper on Audit Policy in which they set out to draw lessons of the auditors’ role in the recent financial crisis. The European Commission considers the function of the audit to be a key contributor to investor confidence and suggests a number of controversial measures with the aim of ensuring financial stability in the
Background: The St Gallen surrogate molecular subtype definitions classify the oestrogen (ER) positive breast cancer into the luminal A and luminal B subtypes according to proliferation rate and/or expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) with differences in prognosis and chemo-responsiveness. Primary tumours and lymph node metastases might represent different malignant clones
The relationship between intellectual property and competition law gives an excellent contrast into how competing legal principles may work harmoniously and need not be viewed in conflict. Consequently, applying principles from one field may benefit the application of another. In respect of this and following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s recent ruling in Leno Merken, an application
Lärares befogenhet att med stöd av 5 kap. 6 § SkolL ingripa fysiskt mot elever i ordningsstörande situationer har varit, och är en omdebatterad fråga. Inte minst i samband med HD:s avgörande Soffallet från 2020. Undersökningar visar att delar av lärarkåren upplever en oro och rädsla för att ingripa och sedermera bli anmälda, vilket delvis tycks bottna i bestämmelsens otydlighet. I media har lärareTeacher ́s authority to, with support of chapter 5 section 6 of the Education Act, physically intervene towards students in disruptive situations has been and still is a debated topic, not least in connection with the ruling of the Supreme Court in 2020, called Soffallet (the sofa case). Surveys show that parts of the teaching staff experience a concern about intervening since they are afraid of b
