Abstract Manganese is a redox-sensitive trace element that is essential for humans and other organisms in order to develop and maintain health. Through sewage, manganese enters the oceanic environment from variety of anthropogenic sources, both domestic and industrial, and like every chemical, it can cause toxicity when it exceeds certain concentrations. The main objective of present study was to

Denna uppsats behandlar leverantörers möjligheter till skadestånd vid offentlig upphandling. De frågor som kommer att behandlas är under vilka förutsättningar en leverantör har rätt till skadestånd enligt lag om offentlig upphandling (LOU), huruvida det är möjligt för en leverantör att grunda sin skadeståndstalan direkt på skadeståndslagen (SkL) samt hur skadeståndet ska beräknas. Då lagstiftningeThis paper discusses suppliers' possibilities to recover damages at public procurement. The issues that will be addressed are the conditions under which a supplier is entitled to damages under the law on Public Procurement, whether it is possible for a supplier to base their claim for compensation directly on the Tort Liability Act, and how damages should be calculated. Since the legislation h

Temperature recordings from a moving vehicle are frequently used in microclimatological research. This work aims at investigating three aspects of the quality and the representability of mobile-recorded temperature data: the displacement of air near the car's front; the inertia of the sensors which hinders the accurate recording of fast fluctuations, and how good temperature profiles obtained

Abstract To analyze the HIV-1 CRF02_AG viral diversity and evolution during the course of disease, the V1-V3 region of the env gene of sequential blood plasma samples from eight patients from Guinea-Bissau was studied. The patients were divided into two different groups, fast and slow progressors (FP and SP), according to the time between seroconversion and development of AIDS. The RNA of the vi

This paper presents research on the vocabulary used in textbooks for language courses in Italian for beginners. The goal of the research was to find out if there is any difference in vocabulary between textbooks written for a Swedish target audience on the one hand, and a target audience living in Italy on the other hand, and also what consequences, if any, these differences might have. The

Abstract Objective: The small intestinal epithelium is a highly complex system continuously renewed by a process involving cell proliferation and differentiation. In mammals, the physiological function of intestine is not fully mature at birth, and many factors could accelerate gut maturation. In the current study we hypothesized that the pancreatic enzymes could be one of such factors. In the sa

Vad är civilprocessens funktion och är det möjligt att observera en pågående förskjutning av densamma? I den svenska funktionsdebatten förekommer olika uppfattningar rörande vad civilprocessens funktion är. Uppfattningar som är präglade av rättspolitiska värderingar. Examensarbetet visar att funktionsresonemangen trots den angivna omständigheten tjänar väl när man ska värdera effekterna av olikaWhat is the function of civil procedure and is it possible to observe an ongoing shift of the same? In the legal debate the answers to the former question are often influenced by political values. Nevertheless, this paper shows that discussing this question is important to evaluate different legal methods, particularly in the area of procedure law. This paper also shows that one of the suggest

Låt inte åkern få för djupa sår, – annars vi i framtiden inga grödor får! Om det inte vore för växterna skulle vi inte kunna leva en enda sekund på vår jord. För varje andetag förlitar vi oss på att växterna producerar tillräckligt med syre till atmosfären och åkerns grödor ger oss mat på bordet. Det här är exempel på så kallade ekosystemtjänster, vilket är ett resultat av fungerande ekosystem, dAbstract The four weedy species Capsella bursa-pastoris, Elytrigia repens, Rumex longifolius and Tripleurospermum perforatum were grown for 4 weeks in a greenhouse experiment in intact soil cubes, excavated from 15 conventional agriculture fields with different land use intensity, situated in the agricultural area of South West Scania, Sweden. Soilbiodiversity provides ecosystem services and is

Sammanfattning Uppsåtets nedre gräns mot medveten oaktsamhet utgjordes tidigare huvudsakligen av det eventuella uppsåtet med hypotetiskt prov. Att det hypotetiska eventuella uppsåtet skulle utgöra uppsåtslärans nedre gräns i svensk rätt fastslogs genom NJA 1959 s. 63 ”Råbypojkarna”. Trots 1959 års avgörande gjordes genom senare rättspraxis ett antal försök att omformulera uppsåtets nedre gräns. FöSummary The boundary between intent and conscious negligence in the Swedish legal system was previously set by the so called ‘dolus eventualis with a hypothetical test’. The latter was established by the Swedish Supreme Court (hereafter the Court) in a ruling from 1959, the “Råbyboys” case (NJA 1959 s. 63). Despite this there have been numerous attempts to replace dolus eventualis with a hypotheti

Abstract Individuals within species often show a consistent differences in their risk-taking behavior. I investigated whether intra-specific variation in risk-taking behavior is adaptive, i.e. if it stems from the life history strategy differences between individuals. As a result of life history trade-offs, individuals vary in their investment into survival and reproduction, such that some indivi
