Gruvdrift på havsbotten har länge varit ett intressant ämne. Första gången någon hittade mineraler på havsbotten var i slutet av 1800-talet. Under de senaste åren har det skett en teknisk och ekonomisk utveckling som har gjort det möjligt att kommersiellt utvinna dessa mineraler. Samtidigt finns det många som oroar sig för de negativa miljöeffekterna. Det är nämligen omöjligt att bedriva djuphavsbDeep-seabed mining has been of interest ever since they found minerals at the bottom of the ocean at the end of the 19th century. There has been a technological and economic evolution in recent years, making it possible to commercially mine these minerals. At the same time, many worry about its negative environmental impacts. With today’s technology, it is impossible to conduct deep-sea mining wit

Om en arbetstagares alkoholbruk går ut över arbetsprestationen så ligger det i arbetsgivarens intresse att åtgärda det, antingen genom att se till att arbetstagarens arbetsprestation blir bättre igen eller genom att avbryta anställningen. I svensk arbetsrättslagstiftning är det dock viktigt att särskilja på om en arbetstagare isåfall lider av en alkoholsjukdom eller inte. Om det inte föreligger enWhen an employee’s alcohol habits affect their work, then it is in the employers interest to resolve the problem, either by helping the employee get better or by ending the employment. In swedish labour law, it is however important to distinguish cases between where an employee just abuses alcohol, and cases where an employee is suffering from an alcohol-related disease. If the employee isn’t sick

En utökning av EU:s medlemsstaters nationella koncernbeskattningssystem till att även inkludera gränsöverskridande aktiviteter har under en lång tid varit uppe för debatt inom den Europeiska Unionen. Den Europeiska Kommissionen har presenterat kommunikationer och utkast till direktiv som syftar till att harmonisera de nationella reglerna på området, framförallt i förhållande till utjämning av förlThe extension of Member States domestic group taxation schemes to also involve cross-border activities has for long been debated within the European Union. The European Commission has put forward various communications and draft directives in order to harmonize the national laws in that area, in particular in relation to relief of losses occurred at a subsidiary resident in a state other than its

Financial decisions that concerns us are not always made by ourselves. In real life, many situations arise when the decisions are taken for us by a third person. Examples of this are when policy makers decide for us and when brokers handle our investments. Others are estimating the risks for us and makes financial decisions from their perception of the situation and perhaps their own risk preferen

During the spring of 2003 ninety-five water bodies in southeastern Estonia were surveyed for chrysophytes. The sampling was carried out as the ice broke up, when, within two weeks, the water temperature rose from 3 degrees C to 13 degrees C. Large lakes to small pools of different water chemistry were investigated. The plankton collected was studied alive within a few hours after sampling. Prepara

Popular Abstract in Swedish Recenta dödismiljöer framför Brúarjökull-glaciären på Island och Holmströmbreen på Svalbard har undersökts med speciellt fokus på landforms- och sedimentgenes samt kvantifiering av dödisavsmältningen. Fältmätningar, studier av tidsserier av flyg? och satellitbilder samt digitala terrängmodeller är dataunderlaget för kvantifieringen av dödisavsmältningen. SedimentologiskModern dead-ice environments in the glacier forefields of Brúarjökull, Iceland and Holmströmbreen, Svalbard were investigated with focus on landform and sediment genesis, as well as quantification of melting. Field monitoring and studies of multi-temporal aerial photographs, satellite imagery, and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) provided data for the melting quantification. Sedimentological and ge

“To lay in Lund” – A study about the way university students speak about sexuality Recently allegations concerning the sexual habits of young people have attracted attention in Swedish research. Assumptions regarding an increased number in sexual partners and a change in attitude towards sexuality are two of the noted aspects. The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the way studen

This present study is a qualitative examination of government policy regarding Danish, unemployed and uneducated youths. The empirical basis for the study consists of fieldwork, in the form of participant observation and qualitative interviews. The physical field of study consisted of the municipality of Uddannelsesby. Within the study informants, such as the aforementioned youths, but also munici

Like all businesses there is also an interest in the fire service to always improve the efficiency of its work. This can be done in many different ways, for example by changing the existing formation of the local rescue organization or through the continued development of current methods and equipment that firefighters use. Most rescue services across Sweden are currently using low pressure pumps

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is connected to the rest of the brain through two main networks: the anterior-temporal (AT) and the posterior-medial (PM) systems. Given the crucial role of the MTL and networks in the physiopathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the present study aimed at (1) investigating whether MTL atrophy propagates specifically within the AT and PM networks, and (2) evaluating

PURPOSE: The overall aim of this study was to describe experiences of discrimination due to inaccessibility among people using mobility devices.MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a thematic qualitative analysis of 88 complaints about wheeled mobility device use, inaccessibility, and discrimination submitted to the Swedish Equality Ombudsman (DO) during 2015 and 2016.RESULTS: The analysis resulted

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of intensive smoking cessation interventions (ISCIs) directly compared with shorter interventions (SIs), measured as successful quitting.METHOD: Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and CINAHL were searched on 15 October 2021. Peer-reviewed randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of adult, daily smokers undergoing an ISCI were included. No setting, time or languag

The development of surfactant-templated mesoporous films grown at the air/water interface was investigated using specular and off-specular X-ray reflectivity techniques. The samples were prepared in acidic conditions using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr, 0.075 M) and different concentrations (0.27-0.88 M) of tetramethyloxysilane (TMOS). At CTABr/TMOS molar ratio between 0.277 and 0.093, the

Long-term lithium treatment is associated with end-stage renal disease, but there is little evidence of a clinically significant reduction in renal function in most patients. We previously found that 1.5% of people who took lithium from the 1960s and 1970s developed end-stage renal disease; however, none of the patients who started after 1980 had end-stage renal disease. Here we aimed to study the

The phenomenon of contact guidance on thin fibers has been known since the beginning of the 20th century when Harrison studied cells growing on fibers from spider's web. Since then many studies have been performed on structured surfaces and fibers. Here we present a new way to induce guidance of cells or cell processes using magnetic nanowires. We have manufactured magnetic Ni-nanowires (200 nm in

Abstract: Territorial species are unlikely to show extensive movements between breeding seasons. This is especially true for long-lived species, which often have strong pair bonding and can occupy the same territory for years. However, also in such species, individuals may face situations that can lead to a territory shift. Here, we use a comprehensive dataset documenting 40 years of breeding beha

El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, whether in warm or cold phases, that persist for two or more consecutive years (multi-year), are relatively rare. Compared with single-year events, they create cumulative impacts and are linked to extended periods of extreme weather worldwide. Here we combine central Pacific fossil coral oxygen isotope reconstructions with a multimodel ensemble of transi

Seasonality is a core aspect of life in West African artisanal fishing communities, with fisherfolk having long adapted to bumper and lean fishing seasons. In an attempt to tackle dwindling fish stocks, however, the Government of Ghana introduced a month-long closed fishing season. This paper explores the ways in which fishing communities, which are accustomed to seasonal change, make sense of and

Objectives: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques are increasingly used but have longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, which may increase inflammatory response and negatively affect coagulation. Our aim was to compare biomarkers of inflammation and coagulation as well as transfusion rates after minimally invasive mitral valve repair and mitral valve surgery using conventional sternotomy. Des
