Deklinationsdata från sedimentära borrkärnor från sjöarna Kälksjön, Gyltigesjön, Byestadsjön, Mötterudstjärnet, Furskogstjärnet, Frängsjön och Särsjön visar västlig riktning i den övre delen. Denna västliga riktning följer inte paleomagnetiska modeller och är missvisande. Med hjälp av Microsoft Excel har dessa missvisningar korrigerats och använts för att skapa en svensk version av FENNOSTACK, kalDeclination data from cores from swedish lake sediments show a westward declination in the upper part of most cores. This does not align with paleomagnetic models and is therefore considered false. Using Microsoft Excel these false values have been corrected and used in a swedish version of FENNOSTACK called SWESTACK. SWESTACK gives a mean value with 95\% confidence of the declination over the per

To study the changes in the democratic process are Robert Dahl’s five criterias for democracy used. The result shows that the major democratic problem i

This master thesis invites the reader to acquire and examine new evidence about an emerging and growing sub-genre type of documentary film called Ayahuasca documentary. This study bases its definition of the Ayahuasca documentary sub-genre on a current work in the progress catalogue of over 50 documentary films, two of which were selected as case studies.

The cosmic perspective is shown to be complex, composed of four different but related perspectives: space; time; humanity and cosmic evolution; and history of science and exploration. A number of ambiguit

It is a recognized fact that Nizar’s poetic style is abundant in renewal and beauty, that his l

In this study it is theorized that the world market price of a certain commodity should affect the intensity of the violence in conflict zones in which this commodity is produced. This is tested on the Second Congo War and the continuing violence since, using statistical methods to analyse the effect of the world market price of gold, diamonds, oil, tin, copper, cobalt and coltan. The methods used

Övergångsrättvisa (transitional justice) är en term som beskriver hur länder med hjälp av juridiska och icke-juridiska åtgärder hanterar storskaliga övergrepp mot mänskliga rättigheter. Övergångsrättvisa används bland annat för att hålla förövare ansvariga och bringa försoning. Konceptet övergångsrättvisa växte fram som ett gensvar på hur länder under 1980–1990-talet hanterade de storskaliga övergTransitional justice is a term and concept which describes how countries deal with large-scale human rights abuses through different judicial and non-judicial measures in order to achieve reconciliation and hold perpetrators accountable. Transitional justice as a concept was born out of practice as a response to how countries in the 1980–1990s dealt with large-scale abuses committed by the earlier

Det framgår av 7 § LAS att en uppsägning måste vara sakligt grundad. Vad som utgör saklig grund för uppsägning finns inte närmare angett i lag mer än att en uppsägning inte är sakligt grundad om det är skäligt att arbetsgivaren erbjuder arbetstagaren annat arbete hos sig, 7 § 2 st. LAS.

Informal settlements often appear chaotic, seeming perhaps to have emerged without any planning. Evidence suggests however that many slum areas are in fact the result of organized, structured processes carried out with discipline and precision. Formal and informal settlements coexist parallel to one another without significant interaction, and governments and informal planners rarely understand ea

Taking a psychological and philosophical outlook, we approach making as an embodied and embedded skill via the skilled artisan’s experience of having a corporeal, nonlinguistic dialogue with the material while working with it. We investigate the dynamic relation between maker and material through the lens of pottery as illustrated by wheel throwing, claiming that the experience of dialogue signals

Då det intellektuella kapitalet utgör en viktig del av ett företags totala tillgångar, har vi valt att undersöka hur hanteringen och styrningen av detta kapital ser ut i verkligheten.
