Old Red Sandstones and younger strata overlie a variety of deformed and metamorphosed Early Paleozoic and Precambrian rocks on Svalbard, referred to as the Hecla Hoek Complex. At least three different terranes are recognized, occurring in eastern, northwestern and southwestern areas. The Eastern Terrane is exposed in the northeastern parts of the Svalbard archipelago in Nordaustlandet and Ny Fries

The Killeröd Formation ("Bronnii beds or Coscinorrhinus limestone") is a thin, but distinctive formation in the Middle Ordovician, upper Uhakuan Stage, of southeastern Scania, the southernmost province of Sweden. It is about 70 cm thick and consists of alternating grey microcrystalline limestone and blue-grey shaly mudstone. The Killeröd Fm is richly fossiliferous and has yielded a fairl

The Middle Cambrian at Äleklinta, Öland, consists predominantly of a heterolitic sequence with interbedded shale and siltstone. The sediments were deposited in a westfacing marine bay by northeastern, sometimes reversing currents. Long periods of slow mud settling alternated with short periods of silt influx. Water depth was below wave base and stream-ripples, micro-ripples and occasional wave-rip

I de lager som idag utgör Visby-, Slite- och Hemselager har Hedström beskrivit (1917) 30 arter, vilket är ett stort antal för ett så begränsat område. Materialet från Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, 27 av de 30 arterna, har reviderats och resultatet blev 18 arter istället för det ursprungliga antalet 27. Materialet är fragmentariskt men omfattar även mycket välbevarade exemplar vilka bidragit till mån

The topic of this paper include an attempt to interpret the mutually timing of the tectonothermal events at Glassvik, considered to constitute a key locality in the southern part of the Southwestern Granulite Province (SGP). The province is characterized by numerous occurrences of mafic granulites and charnockites as well as high-grade gneisses of a polymetamorphic origin. Three different distingu

In samples consisting mainly of Campanian biocalcarenite from Maltesholm and Ullstorp 23 foraminifera species were identified. The number of species lies within the range for a normal marine environment according to Fisher α-diagrams and triangular diagrams. It is concluded that Maltesholm represents a more shallow marine environment than Ullstorp. A systematic description is included for the aggl

A 180 meter long core sequence of the Höllviken-II deep drilling project was investigated and divided into seven subfacies from a sedimentological point of view. Special attention were paid to criteria used for interpretation of the palaeoclimate. The lowest and the topmost parts of the investigated sequence were interpreted as beeing deposited during hot, desert-like conditions. Intervening parts

Järnanrikning i mesozoiska lagerföljder i Skåne och på andra ställen i Europa har ofta föreslagits vara en marin bildningsprocess. På många håll i världen där det råder ett tropiskt-subtropiskt klimat anrikas stora mängder järn i terrestriska markprocesser-lateritisering. Denna kan ha varit en av de viktigaste processerna för järnanrikning, exempelvis i de rät-liassiska sedimenten i Skåne.

This study was made to see how resettlement refugees from Iraq who came to Germany in 2009 experienced the reception. The study was made with grown-up, mentally and physically healthy refugees from Iraq, who through UNHCR came to Germany. Through interviews information was gathered and the outcome shows advantages and disadvantages in the reception Germany provided. Overall the result shows that t

The aim of our study was to investigate conceptions about gender, gender expression and sexuality among social work students. We did this by asking what differences in conceptions about gender, gender expression and sexuality are noticeable among the students. We also asked how the students’ experience that these conceptions appear throughout the educational program, and what importance they give

This study examines the thoughts and expectations of social work students regarding their future career. In order to investigate this, a questionnaire was handed out to social work students (N=203) attending their final semester of the social work program (socionomprogrammet) at Göteborgs universitet, Högskolan i Jönköping, Högskolan i Kristianstad, Linnéuniversitetet and Malmö Högskola. The quest

The field of particle physics is ever evolving. With the recent advent of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it is possible that the long sought for Higgs boson is detected. While this is not certain even if it is found it is likely that it will need more precise methods of investigation. For this and other reasons, a new collider called the International Linear Collider (ILC) is being planned. This

Enligt den Europeiska konventionen för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (EKMR) har medlemsstaterna en skyldighet att garantera konventionens fri- och rättigheter till var och en som befinner sig inom deras jurisdiktion. Det är sedan länge klart att staterna främst har denna skyldighet inom sitt eget territorium. Europadomstolen har emellertid klargjort att EKMR i exceptioAccording to the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) states have an obligation to secure, to everyone within their jurisdiction, the rights prescribed in the Convention. Already at the drafting of the ECHR, it was clear that the states mainly had this obligation within their own territories. However, the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) has found that the

Elderly care in Sweden is facing many challenges. In recent years it has been observed to be insufficient as many elderly rights have been encroached upon. One factor which has been determined to be important to meet all of the new demands is an effective and successful leadership. The intention of this study was to examine how middle managers in Swedish elderly care reflect and describe their mis

This thesis explores undocumented immigrants’ social space within the discourse of non-citizenship in the context of Sweden. With an aim to elucidating and characterizing their use and reorganization of, as well as access to and exclusion from the societal space, it touches upon the used spaces as well as their maintenance of everyday life within the same. The non-citizen of Sweden – the undocumen

In the Seve Nappe Complex on Mt. Grapesvare, Swedish Caledonides, coronitic dolerites and eclogites occur in psammitic and pelitic schists. The transition between them is a 200 m wide zone with small boudins of garnet amphibolite. That zone trends N95°E and does not coincide with any tectonic discontinuity. The intensity of deformation and the lithology of the host rock do not change at the transi

Summary: This study is a part of the project "Lithostratigraphy and glacial dynamics during the Pomerian Phase". The objective is to solve the problems concerning the deglaciation of the south Baltic area during the last glaciation. The Polish Baltic coast is under heavy erosion from the seawaves. Steep morainic cliffs, often more than 10 meters high, offer excellent sections. A clear di

Land is an important asset and redistribution of land is a sensitive subject in Colombia. Land issues in Colombia are complex and include political, social and economic aspects. Due to an on-going conflict people are being denied access to land. In Colombia there are between 3.3 and 4.9 million internally displaced persons that have been deprived of land. In a country where many base livelihoods o
