Popular Abstract in Swedish Många kemiska processer och reaktioner utspelas på ytan av material. Vissa fenomen, såsom korrosion, är uppenbara för blotta ögat, medan andra kan vara mindre uppenbara. Några saker som kanske inte direkt brukar associeras med ytor är katalytiska reaktioner (som oxidering av kolmonoxid, CO, till koldioxid, CO2), och elektriska egenskaper. Forskning på ytor kan, för att The work presented in this dissertation addresses two main topics: (i) graphene supported nanoparticles and their stability upon gas adsorption, and (ii) intercalation of different molecules under graphene and their reactions under graphene. From an interplay of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction, and density functional theory an atomic

Abstract.Over the past decade, a new global regime of anti-corruption has taken shape. Pushed by NGOs such as Transparency International, and with coalitions of international organizations, Western governments, and private business circles, we now have a framework of conventions and regulations that impel governments and international firms to act with integrity and to prevent corruption in busine

Languages can be classified into three types, e.g. situation-oriented (e.g. Russian, Chienese, etc.), speaker-oriented (e.g. Bulgarian, Turkish, etc.) and hearer-oriented (e.g. English, Danish, etc.) (Durst-Anderssen 2005, 2006, 2008). In this paper, it is argued that the difference in spoken and written discourse can be compared to different patterns in these classificatory types, and historical

Polisens registrering av Romer betyder att staten Sverige inte respekterar grundläggande demokratiska och rättsstatliga principer som saklighet, objektivitet, proportionalitet, likabehandling och icke-diskriminering. Den är också ett brott mot Sveriges åtaganden enligt FN:s konvention om avskaffande av varje form av rasdiskriminering. Eftersom upprättandet av dessa register varit en del av Polisen

Abstract in UndeterminedMigration is commonly associated with large scale movements of people, from one country to another, both in terms of refugee displacement and voluntary migration. The internal movement within countries is however less studied despite the fact that this is an important indicator for imbalance, national development and it is also crucial for planning the future of Iraq or Kur

The identification of a subterranean metallic ore from scattering experiments, conducted on the surface of the ground or in a bore hole, is a classic geophysical problem. In general this problem is not well-posed. However, a priori information about the shape of the target provides enough regularization to make the problem numerically stable. The problem is solved by minimizing the mean-square err
