Carbonatite is an unusual type of rock that, for a long time, were not accepted for what they really are. This group of rocks is now considered to be of igneous origin and is classified after its content of carbonate minerals. If it exceed 50% the rock will be named a carbonatite. This group of rocks can be found all over the world and two of these places, which this review will focus on, are the
The aim of this study was to examine how social problems are described and constructed in the printed press from two different regions in the south of Sweden; the rural municipality of Svalöv and the densely populated city Malmö. The study was based on news articles from the printed newspaper with the biggest daily circulation, from the respective areas. Articles relating to a predetermined array
The phase field method emerged as a tool to solve free boundary problems with a sharp interface. In previous methods, this involved the computationally inefficient and complicated tracking of a moving interface. The phase field method overcomes this limitation by introducing an auxiliary variable called the order parameter which varies continuously over the whole domain and takes on finite values
Organisms in the aquatic environment face the challenge of exposure to environmental pollution by a multitude of pharmaceuticals. However, the potential for disruptive effects in non-target aquatic organism remains poorly understood. Fluoxetine is one of the most commonly prescribed psychoactive drugs and it has been shown to bioaccumulate in fish, and potentially affects a broad suite of importan
Title: Open-source Branding: How consumers develop a Corporate Brand Image through Instagram- An Exploratory Single-Case Study. Research problem: The research problem originates from the shifted power balance through the rise of social media. Whereby, organizational control of the brand image is starting to fade. Thus, further research is needed, whether an open-source branding strategy truly aff
While learning management system platforms are getting more widely used by companies, schools and other organizations around the world as a means for electronic educational technology, they are also increasing in complexity.

Acute or chronic inflammation in the prostate is implicated in pathogenesis of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) as well as development of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and prostate cancer (PCa). Chronic prostatitis (inflammation in the prostate) is associated with high morbidity and negatively impacts life quality. Macrophages are critical regulators of inflammatory processes and are
Nowadays, the CORDIC algorithm plays an important role to deal with the non-linear functions in hardware. In this thesis, a novel methodology is described to reduce the complexity in an unrolled CORDIC architecture, which gives higher speed, lesser area, and lower power consumption. That is, MUXes are used to replace adder stages. Five different unrolled CORDIC architectures have been implemented
Fastighetsbildningslagen (FBL) antogs 1970 och ersatte ett tiotal lagar gällande fastighetsbildningsåtgärder. Bestämmelserna kom nu att samlas och bli mer översiktliga. Ett nytt fastighetsbildningsinstitut som instiftades var fastighetsreglering. Detta institut skulle ersätta ägoutbytena som fanns i den äldre lagstiftningen. Tanken med ägoutbyte var att kunna utföra ömsesidiga byten av relativt smThe Swedish real estate law was adopted in 1970 and replacing the many existing laws regarding real estate measures. This lead to a better overview. A new real estate institute was about to take shape, which was to replace the old institute of change of land areas. The new institute, property reformation institute, was to be similar to the old one with the aim of exchanging small areas of land bet
This thesis is about the global trend of the profiling of nursing homes, with specific focus on two empirical cases of profiled nursing homes in Sweden and Denmark. The profiled nursing homes, and their social dynamics, are analyzed on the basis of data collected through ethnographic fieldwork and additional documentation. The profiled nursing homes are institutional attempts to satisfy what are b
Using the 3D finite element tool COMSOL a III-V FinFET was mod- eled based on Cezar Zota, Erik Lind and Lars-Erik Wernerssons work. Using this model, the gate-source parasitic capacitance, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance, the source and drain resistances were simulated. Changing the geometry of the FinFET was done in order to optimize the transistor in regard for the transition frequency and
The essay identifies the factors that help countries avoid the middle-income trap. We study the effect of institutional indicators, and the educational and technological policy variables on the income growth of the middle-income countries, with the focus on the upper-middle income countries; using the Cross-section OLS estimation and the Fixed-Effects panel estimation. For the countries that have
Drowning is the second global leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 to 14 years, and the fifth leading cause for people of all ages (excluding flood disasters and water transport incidents). Why is the risk of drowning so high? It is important to investigate existing situation: what are the reasons that create a danger, is there a main risk group, how the risk of drownin
This exploratory research intends to understand the driving forces within a regional innovation system (RIS), analysing the example of a rural area in Germany. It seeks to investigate how RIS help to create sustainable tourism products in rural areas. The theoretical framework focusses on the concepts of rural tourism, innovation and sustainability. Rural areas are often less developed than urban
The existence and deepening of (global) poverty and inequality is at the core of development. However, the close connection between non-conforming sexuality and poverty is habitually overlooked. The study seeks to underpin that non-conforming sexuality should be a dimension of the social development paradigm. Thus, the study explores the connections between the public construct of homosexuality, e
The topic of corruption can be discussed from a variety of standpoints including economic, political, and social implications. The focus of this thesis project is on healthcare sector and more specifically the low-level act of corruption, the bribery, which occurs between a doctor and a patient. The aim of this thesis is to research the reasons behind the persistent existence of the bribery in med
As China’s Guangdong Province has been in the forefront of Chinese growth, and it is one of the biggest contributions to Chinese economy, this paper compares the development process of industrial structure between Mainland China Guangdong province and one of Asian four tigers’ Taiwan. This paper is aim to see if the structure components are similar or difference during the growth process. Taking a
