Sommaren 1767 påbörjade orientalisten Jacob Jonas Björnståhl (1731–1779) en resa som förde honom till Frankrike, Schweiz, Italien, Tyskland, Holland och England innan han sjövägen tog sig till Konstantinopel och så småningom Grekland, där han avled i dysenteri vid 48 års ålder. Hade det inte varit för tidningsmannen Carl Christoffer Gjörwell hade eftervärlden aldrig fått någon större kännedom om d

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets. However, the efficiency of unilateral climate policies aimed at taxing emissions might be hampered by carbon leakage. One way to eliminate leakage is to implement a global carbon tax. In this article, we study the effects of a carbon tax in agriculture on GHG emissions by simulating five polReducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets.

Popular Abstract in English All ordinary matter around us is made out of atoms. In turn, the building blocks of the atoms are nowadays known to be three types of particles:electrons, protons and neutrons. The latter are called nucleons, as they together form the positively charged nucleus of the atom, around which the electrons are moving. The radius of the nucleus is about three orders of magnituComprehensive experimental knowledge of the 62Zn nucleus has been obtained from the combined statistics of four different experiments. The Gammasphere Ge-detector array in conjunction with the 4pi charged-particle detector array Microball was used to detect the gamma-rays in coincidence with evaporated light charged particles. In total twenty seven band structures have been observed in 62Zn, twent

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar konstnären Elis Erikssons liv och verk ur ett semiotiskt perspektiv. Den semiotiska teori som appliceras i avhandlingen ska ses som en kultursemiotisk eller sociosemiotisk teori. Den är därmed uttryckligen kritisk mot den rigida tillämpning av lingvistiska modeller som så ofta förknippas med semiotiska studier inom humaniora. I enlighet med deThe title of this thesis translates as "Elis Eriksson: Objects and Signs" and concerns the life and work of the Swedish artist Elis Eriksson (1906-2006) as analysed from a semiotic point of view. The semiotic theory applied in the thesis is to be regarded as a theory of cultural semiotics or socio-semiotics, explicitly critical towards the rigid application of linguistic models so often associated

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blödarsjuka (hemofili) är en recessiv genetisk sjukdom orsakad av en defekt i X-kromosomen som leder till förlängd koagulationstid på grund av brist eller avsaknad av koagulationsfaktorerna VIII eller IX i blodet. Kvinnor är anlagsbärare, medan män utvecklar symptom. Hemofili förkommer sporadiskt som följd av spontan mutation likaväl som ärftligt inom vissa släkter, ochHaemophilia is a recessive genetic bleeding disorder in which coagulation time is prolonged due to the absence or malfunction of either of the serum proteins Factor VIII or IX. Joint destruction following repeated haemarthroses is the main cause of morbidity in haemophiliacs, and such arthropathy can be prevented or postponed by implementing prophylactic therapy with factor concentrate at an early

Popular Abstract in Swedish Affärsklimatet för dagens energimarknad har varit händelserik de senaste två decennierna med introduktaion av den avreglerade elmarknaden och den ökade vikten av miljöfrågor vid design och inköp av energirelaterade anläggningar. Detta har bidragit med krav om nya analyskriterier, vilka inte bara påverkar den tekniska utformningen av komponenter och system, utan även tilThe business climate of the energy market has been eventful over the last two decades, particularly with the introduction of the deregulated electricity market and promotion of environmental issues. This has subsequently lead to new analysis criteria, influencing both technology requirements and production costs. To be able to manage all the questions that have arisen from this the knowledge of th

Studien utgör en del i ett tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprogram, ¯Effekthushållning i byggnader¯, genomfört vid Lunds Universitet. Den här studien har fokuserat energianvändning i bostäder ur ett kulturanalytiskt perspektiv. Detta har inneburit ett åskådliggörande av möten mellan bransch och brukare på den omreglerade elmarknaden. Här har vardagslivet varit en metodisk och analytisk utgångspunkt fö

Occupational exposure to various kinds of nanostructured aerosol particles such as soot and metal aggregates already exists. To understand the adverse human health effects of these particles, there is a need for systems that can Generate a stable output of aerosol particles, Char

Since national independence many NGOs active in the domain of gender have been established in Kyrgyzstan. Recently, this part of the NGO sector has seen the emergence of alternative organizations, voicing new issues and perspectives. In this thesis, I take a closer look at these new actors: how they differ from the older generation and also in relation to each other. I am especially interested in

Förtalsbrottet syftar till att skydda den enskilde från ärekränkningar och utgör således en tillåten inskränkning i den grundlagsstadgade tryck-och yttrandefriheten.

I uppsatsen utreds innebörden och tillämpningsområdena av begreppen vårdskada enligt patientsäkerhetslagen (2010:659) (PSL) och patientskada enligt patientskadelagen (1996:799) (PSkL). Syftet är att belysa problematiken och eventuella konsekvenser av skillnaderna mellan begreppen samt att utreda hur systemen bättre kan samordnas.

Frågan huruvida det kan medges avdrag för ingående mervärdesskatt på råd-givningstjänster som hänför sig till planering av avyttring av dotterbolagsak-tier har var prövats ett flertal gånger. Uppfattningen i tidigare rättspraxis har varit att anskaffning av rådgivningstjänster i samband med aktieavyttringar inte kan medges avdragsrätt. Detta grundar sig i att kostnaderna för rådgiv-ningstjänsternaThe question of whether input VAT on advisory services relating to the plan-ning of the disposal of shares in a subsidiary can be deducted has been exam-ined several times. The view of previous case law has been that the acquisition of advisory services in connection with share disposals cannot be deducted. This is based on the fact that the costs of advisory services are too closely linked to sha
