Flekkerøy i Kristiansand, södra Norge, består av amfibolitisk gnejs, granitisk gnejs, metagråvacka, tonalitisk gnejs och hornbländitisk mafit. Dessa har därefter genombrutits av flera generationer pegmatit och åtminstone en generation diabas. De äldsta bergartarna har troligen bildats utanför Baltica i en öbåge-miljö. Under den Sveconorwegiska fjällkedjebildningen blev bergarterna metamorfoserade The island of Flekkerøy outside Kristiansand, southern Norway, consists of meta-greywacke, amphibolitic gneiss, granitic gneiss, tonalitic gneiss, hornblenditic mafite, pegmatite and metadolerite. The oldest rocks were probably formed around 1.5 Ga in an arc environment. During the Sveconorwegian orogeny, 1.14-0.90 Ga, the rocks were folded, recrystallized and metasomatosed.

The aim of this essay is to understand the War on Terror, specifically Obama’s drone war and the torture at Abu Ghraib, through the lens of The Second Discourse (1754) by Jean Jacque Rousseau. In the process I shed new light on Rousseau’s work. Throughout the text, I argue that the War on Terror is characterised by temporal ambiguities and, furthermore, that these ambiguities can be traced to the

Sammanfattning Det enda som behövs för att investera i ett publikt aktiebolag är kapital. En investering i ett privat aktiebolag kräver, utöver erforderligt kapital, att en befintlig aktieägare vill avyttra sina aktier.

För att undersöka barns fulla förståelse av ords betydelser är det nödvändigt att undersöka förståelse av ord i relation till andra ord.

Historiskt sett har löneförhandlingarna i Sverige skett på central nivå mellan framförallt LO och SAF. Lönebildningen i Sverige har dock förändrats i grunden efter flera decennier med kraftiga lönekostnadsökningar på grund av bland annat löneglidning och statlig inkomstpolitik vilket bidragit till inflation och problem för den svenska ekonomin.

Målet är att med hjälp av joniserande strålning slå ut alla tumörceller samtidigt som man försöker skona övriga friska celler. Strålningen som produceras i den vanligaste utrustningen för extern strålbehandling, nämligen linjäraccelerator, är elektronstrålning och fotonPurpose: Medical linear accelerators that operate above 10 MeV produce neutrons by photonuclear reactions which present a potential radiation hazard to the personnel. The purpose of this study was to estimate neutron dose contributions to the personnel working with external radiotherapy at Malmö University Hospital (UMAS), compare different kind of neutron detectors/dosimeters, and evaluate how to
