Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) are a chief uncertainty in calculating the burdens of important atmospheric compounds like tropospheric ozone or secondary organic aerosol, reflecting either imperfect chemical oxidation mechanisms or unreliable emission estimates, or both. To provide a starting point for a more systematic discussion we review here global isoprene and monoter

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kontinent Skandinavien idag tillhör kallas Eurasia, men den kontinent vi ser idag har inte alltid funnits. Kontinenterna var inte bara sammanfogade på andra sätt, de har också rört sig över jordens yta (de långsamma med samma hastighet som naglar växer!), i platt-tektoniska processer. Innan uppkomsten av Eurasia har Skandinavien i omgångar tillhört andra konstellatiIn an attempt to reconstruct the pre-Caledonian cratonic margin of Fennoscandia, U-Pb geochronological and geochemical investigations have been performed on allochthonous orthogneisses in the northern Swedish Caledonides. The crystalline basement of the nappes have also been examined to further constrain the continuation of various chronologically defined orogenic belts. To constrain the global pa

Background: Genetic polymorphisms associated with common aetiologically complex diseases have recently been identified through genome-wide association studies. Direct-to-consumer genetic testing for such polymorphisms, with provision of absolute genetic risk estimates, is marketed by several commercial companies. Polymorphisms associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) have shown relatively large r

Syfte med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur skolkuratorns yrkesroll uppfattas av skolkuratorer själva och av andra yrkesgrupper i skolan. Frågeställningen är: Är skolkuratorns yrkesroll otydlig i skolan och vilka konsekvenser får det för skolkuratorn att bedriva socialt arbete i skolan? Avgränsande frågeställningar är: Vad är en skolkurator? Vilka samarbetsparter har en skolkurator och vilka relatio

With the scientific evidence for extensive anthropogenic climate change continuously growing stronger, the human dimension of its projected impacts is getting more and more attention. The perhaps clearest example of this is the growing interest in human rights aspects of climate change. Within the United Nations, Maldives - a small island developing country in the Indian Ocean and home to 386,000

The aim of this paper is to investigate certain aspects of the legal relationship between the EC and Switzerland in the field of public procurement. Public procurement can be defined as the purchase of goods, services, works and supplies by public authorities and enterprises. It comes as no surprise that public procurement has major economic ramifications, accounting for around 14% of the EC's

The text brings together the ECtHR and the CPT that are different, but key components of the system of combating torture on the European continent. On the basis of analysis of the historical background of the issue it points out the distancing concept that was followed by the drafters of the ECPT in respect of the relationship of the ECtHR and the CPT. As a result, the latter is not bound by the c

Uppsatsen ställer två frågor. Den första frågan är hur skatteflykt hanteras inom följande områden; särskild kringgåendelagstiftning och undantaget från retroaktivitetsförbudet i 2 kap. 10 § 2 st. 2-3 men. regeringsformen (1974:152), båda som företeelser, Skatteverkets mått och steg för att förebygga skatteflykt, lag (1995:575) mot skatteflykt samt genomsynsmetoden (en skatterättslig lagtolkningsmeThe thesis asks two questions. The first question is how tax avoidance is dealt with in the following areas: Special legislation that aims to prevent circumvention of tax law and the exemption from the prohibition against retroactive tax law in 2 ch.

Metan (CH₄) är en av de viktigaste växthusgaserna i atmosfären och dess kraftiga ökning har bidragit till den uppvärmning som vi har upplevt fram till idag. Sedan mitten av 1980-talet påvisar mätningar att metantillväxten i atmosfären har börjat fluktuera från år till år. Orsakerna till detta är omstridda och ännu inte klargjorda. Under 2007 uppmättes en kraftig ökning i tillväxt som vaThe increasing atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas methane (CH₄) is highly relevant for current and future global warming. Since the mid-1980s atmospheric measurements have revealed large interannual fluctuations in methane growth rate. However, the causes of this feature are still not well understood. In 2007, a peak in growth rate appears to have been particularly strong a

The Canons of Dalby. Three Studies I. When did the brothers in Dalby become Augustinians? There are different opinions among historians about what kind of community Egino founded in Dalby in the late 1060s. Some say it was Benedictine, others say it was a community of canons. Among the latter, some say they were regular canons, others that they were secular, and one distinguished historian has ev

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Man kan fråga sig varför en hel avhandling handlar om något så ovanligt som akut mastoiditit hos barn. Det är den vanligaste komplikationen till öroninflammation men drabbar bara 20-60 barn per år i Sverige. Öroninflammation däremot är en infektion som är så vanlig att nästan alla har haft åtminstone en sådan som barn. I Sverige diagnostiseras upp emot 200 000 One of the greatest threats to society today is the development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. It is commonly accepted that this is mainly due to the use of antibiotics. Acute otitis media (AOM) is responsible for the highest number of antibiotic prescriptions to children although it is in most cases a self-limiting disease. Nevertheless, complications do occur in some case and the most c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Epilepsi är en allvarlig kronisk neurologisk sjukdom, som drabbar ungefär 1% av befolkningen. Sjukdomen yttrar sig genom plötsliga återkommande krampanfall, som beror på en obalans i hjärnan mellan hämmande (inhibitoriska) och stimulerande (excitatoriska) nervimpulser. När de stimulerande impulserna tar överhand leder detta till överstimulering, också kallad för hyperexEpilepsy is a severe chronic neurological disorder, affecting about 1% of the population. The disease is manifested by spontaneous recurrent seizures, caused by hypersynchronized neuronal activity due to imbalance in the brain between the inhibition and excitation. Symptoms are treated with anti-epileptic drugs, but unfortunately, 30-40% of patients respond poorly to current treatment. Therefore,

The exposure to fragrances is widespread and contact allergy to fragrance substances affects 1–4% of the general population. Many fragrance substances are volatile and it can therefore be suspected that they may evaporate from petrolatum patch test preparations applied in test chambers. In the first two papers included in this thesis the aims were to i) to investigate the stability of fragrance pr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att arbete med barn som brottsoffer – en rättssociologisk studie Barn som utsätt's för brott utgör en grupp i vårt samhälle som i många situationer är beroende av företrädare för att få den hjälp och behandlig som de kan vara i behov av. I många fall är barnet's vårdnadshavare företrädare, men i vissa fall kan det vara vårdnadshavarna som utgör ett hot för barnet. I desThe thesis consists of three different purposes. Purpose number one entails describing and analysing the legal opportunities for, and the demands on, the work of the actors in question with regard to children as victims of crime. This purpose intends to illustrate the legal regulation, which in different ways, and to different degrees, controls the work of the actors. Whereas the legislation provi

Popular Abstract in Swedish 1997 ökade långtidssjukskrivningarna i Sverige, vilka fortsatte att öka till och med 2002. Vanligtvis förklaras ökningen med orsaker på individnivå eller i arbetsmiljön. Genom att avgränsa avhandlingen till långtidssjukskrivningar bland arbetslösa, hamnar en annan förståelse i fokus, sammanfattad som att välfärdsstater utvecklar dold arbetslöshet bland dem med begränsadIn 1997 the number of long-term absences due to illness began and continued to rise in Sweden. Traditional explanations of why this is so have been centered on either blaming the individual or blaming the work environment. By focusing on long-term illness of the unemployed, this dissertation suggests that there is a growing residual unemployment within advanced welfare states. The main question th

Background: With todays’ requirement of shorter product life cycles and faster time-to-market, producing companies experience an increased demand for faster transports in the supply chain. This puts pressure on freight forwarders to offer their customers a timely and reliable transport service at a reasonable price. Another challenge for the freight forwarders in Sweden is to provide such services
