A number of experiments have been performed using two different laser systems, the Lund multi-TW laser and the Vulcan laser at CLF/RAL, UK, to study aspects ranging from laser system optimi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerelektrolytbränslecellen utmärker sig som en framtida effektiv och miljövänlig kraftkälla för bland annat fordon. Den bakomliggande teknologin är dock komplex och grundar sig till stor del på material och komponenter som kräver ytterliggare utveckling. En av de största hindren för bränslecellsteknologins utveckling är kravet på nya, långlivade och billiga polymermThe proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is currently emerging as an efficient and environmentally friendly power source. The technology is very complex and relies ultimately on materials and components which need further development. One of the major hurdles for advancing the PEMFC technology is currently the demand for new durable low-cost polymeric membranes that will allow fuel cell oper
Popular Abstract in Swedish Begreppet social rörlese är ett centralt sociologiskt begrepp. Trots det finns det en rad olika sätt att definiera detta begrepp. Avhandlingen söker svara på frågan vad begreppet social rörelse "betyder". För att svara på den frågan utgår författaren från en arbetsdefinition och en rad dimensioner av begreppet. Via en läsning av begreppets teoretiska utveckling söker föThis thesis develops the concept formation of 'social movement'. The author stresses the importance of the inherent classical understanding of the concept as defining a collective actor involved in a struggle regarding main social and cultural trends in society. The concept of social movement is treated as having been an unclear concept. The author therefore formulates a working definition that al
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige är intaget av kostfiber lågt. Endast 5‒20% av alla vuxna uppnår det rekommenderade dagliga intaget. Fiberrika livsmedel bör utgöra en stor del av en hälsosam diet eftersom man har visat att det finns ett samband mellan högt fiberintag och minskad risk för välfärdssjukdomar såsom hjärt-kärl sjukdomar och typ 2 diabetes. Kostfibrer kan till exempel sänka ditt on

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utforska och behandla statschefers rätt till immunitet vid grova folkrättsbrott. Den centrala frågan för uppsatsen är om statschefer idag kan begå brott mot folkrätten och ändå beviljas straffrihet. Immunitet för statschefer har utvecklats ur immuniteten för stater, som är baserad på att varje stat är suverän och likställd med andra stater. Fram till mitten av nittonhuThe aim of this thesis is to explore the status of the immunity afforded to heads of state for serious international crimes. The central question asked is whether heads of state at the present time can commit international crimes and still be granted impunity. The concept of head of state immunity developed from immunity afforded to states and is based on the principles of state-sovereignty and e
Multi-storey buildings constructed in timber have become more common in recent years. A reason for this lies in the growing interest for sustainable building, where timber is seen as a particularly interesting alternative. As efforts have been made to improve the heat insulation in buildings, the energy consumption from manufacturing materials and from constructing buildings, referred to as embodi
Frågor om falsk angivelse och falsk beskyllning är av stor betydelse då bestämmelserna aktualiserar en grundläggande avvägning mellan rättssäkerhet och rättstrygghet. Falsk angivelse innebär att någon anger en oskyldig person till åtal, medan falsk beskyllning, tidigare benämnd falsk tillvitelse, har ett bredare tillämpningsområde och avser situationer där någon lämnar osanna uppgifter, exempelvisQuestions concerning false denunciation (falsk angivelse) and false accusation (falsk beskyllning, previously falsk tillvitelse) are of great importance, as the provisions involve a fundamental balancing of security before the law for those who are wrongfully accused and rule-of-law safeguards for those who report crimes in the belief that the information is correct. False denunciation involves re
Klimatförändringarna med stigande havsnivåer gör att förutsättningarna för vårt byggande måste förändras i kustnära områden. Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har fattat ett beslut om att mark under +3 meter över havet döms ut för bebyggelse. Kommunerna vid kusten får då mycket svårt att expandera, och vill därför kunna hitta eventuella lösningar för att kunna bygga i utsatta lägen. En möjlig lösning är att aWith the climate change sea levels are rising which changes the boundary conditions for sites along the coast. The County Administrative Board of Skåne has decided that new buildings should be built at least 3 meters above sea level. Because of this decision the coastal municipalities have problems with expanding further, and are really keen on finding alternative solutions in order to allow build
The awareness of problems concerning arsenic contaminated drinking water sources has during recent years increased. WHO (World Health Organization) decided in 1993 to lower the recommended limit of arsenic in drinking water from 50 μg/l to 10 μg/l, mainly due to observations of its carcinogenicity. New places where the WHO limit for arsenic is exceeded are constantly discovered all over the world.

Korean fathers gained their first entitlement to take one-year paid parental leave in 2001. The policy has since continuously advanced, but as of 2020, fathers’ take-up rates remain low at 3.4%. This dissertation raises the question of why Korean fathers do not take parental leave, and what the nature of the underlying sociocultural contexts is that precipitates this discrepancy. To seek answers t
Handeln var den främsta orsaken till utvecklingen av godstransporter till sjöss. I samband med teknikens utveckling, ökade mängden transporterat gods. Tidigt i handelns historia seglade ägarna till godset med sina varor till destinationsorten. Denna sedvänja blev omöjlig att fortsätta tillämpa, eftersom tekniken utvecklades och det blev möjligt för skepp att segla fler och längre resor. Det lönadeTrade was the main reason for the development of transportation of goods by sea. With the evolution of technology, the amount of goods transported increased. Early in the history of trade, traders would sail with their goods to the port of destination. As the technology allowed more frequent and longer trips, this practice was seen to be impossible to continue. Thus, the bill of lading was invente
Abstract: Sensory impairments in the upper limb are common after stroke. Different sensory modalities can be affected such as sense of touch, pressure, pain, temperature and proprioception. The sensory impairments can negatively affect motor function, dexterity and the ability to perform daily activities. Despite these problems limited attention is paid to sensory impairments in stroke rehabilitat
