A new landstreamer system has been developed that provides high resolution imaging from near surface to medium depths. The system is comprised of a combination three-component array to acquire SH data for near surface and a single component array to acquire typical P-wave data at depth. The first application of the system is being carried out for a groundwater mapping project where detailed knowle
Purpose – This study aims to explore how an accessibility database (AD) has been developed and implemented as a tool for facility managers to evaluate and increase the accessibility of public facilities.Design/methodology/approach – Eight participants were strategically sampled for semi-structured interviews, and documents on the AD were gathered. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Rese
In society, accidents happen on a daily basis. To investigate these accidents is part of preventing them from happening at all. The investigations are carried out by different reasons and with different focus as well as by varying methods and extent. This contributes to that the finding of causes of the event varies with the investigator as well as with what the purpose of the investigation is as

The use of enzymes in industrial applications has been recognised for providing clean processes with minimal impact on the environment. This thesis presents studies on engineering of enzymes and enzyme-based processes in the light of green chemistry and environmental sustainability, and focuses on three hydrolases: esterase, lipase and phytase. The use of esterase has been investigated to provide
Botswana is known as the ‘Diamond of Africa’ due to its unique success in avoiding the resource curse, the paradox where resource-rich developing countries experience poor economic and social outcomes while trapped in a cycle of underdevelopment. Despite the consequences of the resource curse, such as higher corruption and conflict, impacting development as a whole, much of the existing literature
How do museums reflect a pluralistic society? Since a few decades back in time, diversity is an established concept in Swedish cultural policy. One assumption is that museums could be places that reflect the diversity of cultural expressions in society and also counteract xenophobia and distances between people. Previous strategies to include diversity in museums have been marked by documentation
Sweden, amongst others, is usually considered a small state in a greater European context. Small state influence in the European Union (EU) is a research field filled with vast potential and possibilities. This study focuses on Swedish influence on the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CSFP) of the EU and the different strategies that small states may apply in order to obtain influence in intern
This review summarizes the involvement of vitamin K and the extrahepatic Gla proteins matrix Gla protein (MGP), Os-teocalcin (OC) and growth arrest-specific gene 6 protein (Gas6) in the development and progression of diabetes: in particular, complications related to angiopathy and inflammation. High vitamin K intake has been associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Popular Abstract in English This thesis is concerned with the efficient generation of ultra-short light pulses, far beyond the visible spectral range. Such light pulses can reach durations below 100 attoseconds, where one attosecond is one billionth of a billionth of a second. Why do we want to generate such extreme light pulses? Our knowledge of basic processes in physics and chemistry is to a High-order harmonic generation (HHG) provides the basis for attosecond light sources delivering coherent pulses in the extreme ultraviolet spectral region. Such light sources are employed for a variety of applications within imaging, attosecond spectroscopy, and high-precision frequency metrology. However, the rather low efficiency of the HHG process, which implies a limited pulse energy and repet
Talking about the revolution, it sounds like a whisper, but I think even Tracy feels it’s time to scream it from the rooftops; I am fed up of sitting in the bistro of this ever speeding train of consumption, racking up a tab that our coming generations will have to pay for with their future. I want to jump off and run in another direction towards a more beautiful existence. In my life everything h
Climate change is a problem. The power sector will bear the brunt of decarbonisation. The most cost effective pathways of achieving deep decarbonisation involve a diverse portfolio of energy technologies. A considerable body of theory suggests that the composition of finance can influence not only the rate but the direction of technical change by selecting technologies with certain economic characClimate change is a problem.

The fall of Yugoslavia in the 1990s led to a series of political upheavals, culminating in the 1992 referendum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This referendum triggered the Bosnian War, which was finally ended by the Dayton Peace Agreement signed on December 14, 1995. The Dayton Peace Agreement aimed to stabilize the country by establishing a power-sharing arrangement among its three ethnic groups - Bo

Popular Abstract in English In an ever energy hungry world and given the concerns about global warming, depleting reserves of fossil fuels and growing fuel prices, there is an urgent need for alternative renewable energy sources. Biogas production through anaerobic digestion in sync with other bio energy production technologies could replace or partially replace fossil fuels and hence curb greenhoAnaerobic digestion provides an array of positive environmental benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, replacing mineral fertilizers, producing renewable energy and treating waste. However, pitfalls in anaerobic digestion such as poor methane yields, process instability, process failure and regional shortages of feedstock have limited the full exploitation of the anaerobic digestion p
