Svensk sammanfattningEfter mer än 50 år av utforskande av rymden och studier av ett växande antal kända nedslagskratrar på jorden så har bildandet av nedslagskratrar utvecklats från att anses vara en sällsynt geologisk företeelse till en fundamental del av jordens, och solsystemets, historia.I dag vet vi att nedslagskratrar är en av de vanligaste landformerna på himlakroppar i inre solsystemet, saImpact cratering was once considered a rare geological process of no, or little, importance to the evolution of the Solar System and planet Earth. After more than 50 years of space exploration and the discovery of numerous (~190 as of October 2016) impact structures on Earth, this view has changed, and it is now clear that impact craters are in fact one of the most common morphological features on

This study investigates the effects of Age of Onset of Acquisition (AOA) and the quality and quantity of input on the longitudinal development of gender in the acquisition of French by simultaneous (2L1) and successive bilingual children (cL2). There's an on-going debate regarding the main factors underlying linguistic development in bilingual children. Two independent variables, AOA and input, ha

I Sverige har vi idag en civilrättslig diskrimineringslag (2008:567) som täcker en rad samhällsområden och sju olika diskrimineringsgrunder. Denna lag är resultatet av att en samling lagar mot diskriminering som kom till runt millennieskiftet slogs samman och delvis förändrades. Lagen innehåller diskrimineringsförbud och aktiva åtgärder och dess syfte är att ”motverka diskriminering och på andra sSweden currently has a civil law against discrimination (2008:567) that covers several aspects of society and seven different grounds for discrimination. This law is the product of the consolidation – and to some extent modification – of a number of laws primarily passed between 1999 and 2006. The law contains prohibitions against discrimination and proscribes certain active measures to foster equ

Introduction Common complications after surgical procedures include surgical site infection, wound rupture and incisional hernia. Wound healing can be influenced by the technique for abdominal access and closure. A Suture-Length to Wound-Length (SL/WLr) ratio ≥ 4 is advised to achieve a high-quality wound closure. This thesis describes the background and clinical realities of abdominal wall relate

Stratagems adopted by democratic leaders to try to insinuate, or anchor, a preferred course of action into the larger collective will have a variety of repercussions. Beyond the apparent success of the venture itself, the long-term integrity of the democratic fabric may be at stake if simmering rancour and discontent is left unheeded. These questions would seem particularly pertinent when studyi

Monocytes and macrophages are part of the body’s first line of defense, eliminating pathogens by phagocytosis or by releasing a broad array of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, chemokines and proteases. In humans, three subsets of monocytes are described with seemingly different functions. The classical (CD14++CD16-) monocytes, the intermediate (CD14++CD16+) monocytes and the non-classica

Diabetes is one of the most expanding diseases in the world today. There are 2 major types of diabetes; type 2 diabetes (T2D) contributes with up to 90% of all diabetes subtypes. Patients with T2D compose up to 150 mill

Popular Abstract in Swedish Socioekonomiska mönster av övervikt och fetma i Skåne, Sverige I världen idag är fetma och övervikt ett av de största hoten mot människors goda hälsa. Den här avhandlingen har försökt beskriva och öka kunskapen om hur olika faktorer, som levnadsvillkor och levnadsvanor, bidragit till ökningen av övervikt och fetma i befolkningen. Övervikt och fetma ökar risken för en rOverweight and obesity are major social and public health concerns globally. The obesity epidemic is caused by a widespread chronic energy imbalance between high-energy intake and low-energy expenditure, but this mechanism appears to be modified by a number of other biological, behavioral, and social factors that interact in a complicated manner. It has become a great challenge to understand the e

Purpose: The resulting plans from a new type of treatment planning system called SharePlan (TM) have been studied. This software allows for the conversion of treatment plans generated in a TomoTherapy system for helical delivery, into plans deliverable on C-arm linear accelerators (linacs), which is of particular interest for clinics with a single TomoTherapy unit. The purpose of this work was to

The purpose of this Master Thesis was to design an automatic separator, a machine that would separate organic from non-organic waste through a mechanical process. The use of a mechanical process was one of the target specifications given by WTM AB, the company that initiated the project. WTM is a small machine design company located in Ängelholm, Sweden, who designs machines for different kind of

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige bryter drygt 30 000 föräldrapar årligen upp från sin relation. Tillsammans har dessa föräldrar cirka 55 000 barn. I samband med föräldrarnas separation skall frågor om de gemensamma barnens vårdnad, boende och umgänge lösas. De flesta föräldrar klarar detta på egen hand eller med stöd av samarbetssamtal eller familjerådgivning, men ungefär 10% av de separerandThe purpose of this socio-legal dissertation is to examine the role of the district court in the handling of custody disputes, from the standpoint of the child's best interest. More specifically, the focus is partly on the relationship between the family and society during district court proceedings, and partly on the relationship between civil law and public law procedure that is to say between t

Innovation plays an important role in organization survival and longevity. This is especially true in the retail industry; there is a growing acknowledgment of the role of innovation in retail practice, as maintaining the status quo might prove insufficient, especially for traditional retailers, in addressing the enormous challenges they are facing driven by technological developments and evolving

The Antarctic temperature changes over the past millennia remain more uncertain than in many other continental regions. This has several origins: (1) the number of high-resolution ice cores is small, in particular on the East Antarctic plateau and in some coastal areas in East Antarctica; (2) the short and spatially sparse instrumental records limit the calibration period for reconstructions and

Languages borrow words when there is a need for it, all languages contain loanwords, and no part of the lexicon is entirely “loan-proof”. These are statements about lexical borrowing that are typically found in linguistic textbooks (Hock and Joseph 1996). Further, we know that that there are large discrepancies in the borrowability of different lexical concepts, where core vocabulary domains (sens

Residual stress can be introduced unintentionally into the workpiece with various magnitudes and distributions through all manufacturing processes. These stresses have a significant effect upon the performance of the final component. Understanding the residual stress imparted by machining is an essential aspect of understanding the machining process and overall part quality. Although many investig

Ischemic stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and its burden is predicted to further increase due to the aging population. The only available treatments, thrombolysis or thrombectomy, can only be applied within a limited time window after stroke onset, and thus are applicable only to a small proportion of stroke patients. Therefore, there is an increasing nee

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive disease, with variable clinical course and heterogenous molecular characteristics. In this thesis, which is based upon six original papers, we aimed to understand MCL deregulations, both at intrinsic and extrinsic levels, to identify companion biomarkers that would allow patient stratification. With the aim to bridge the gap between research and clinical

AbstractSevere perineal trauma (SPT) is a serious complication following vaginal birth. To reduce its incidence rate, various preventive strategies have been implemented in Swedish obstetric units. Collegial midwifery assistance (CMA), involving an additional midwife being present during the active second stage of labour, is a clinical practice that was evaluated in the Oneplus trial, which proved
