The Corded Ware Culture complex in Sweden involves a special form of social structure called the Battle Axe Culture. Among well-known features, such as single graves, there are also other forms of expression. A special form of find is illustrated by a place with a significant accumulation of deliberately burned or otherwise destroyed objects. This mass deposit includes both well-known object forms
Interest in modelling electricity prices has, despite its relatively short history, resulted in widespread types of models that tend to be too intricate to incorporate most price characteristics. This thesis pursues a flexible approach that comprehends stylized facts of electricity prices while it still handles complexity in order to facilitate calibration and forecasting. Although time-varying tr
Since the new integration policy from 1975 Swedish politics has been characterized as a multicultural society among scholars and others both in Sweden and abroad. The purpose of this thesis was to study the political debate around three minority practices (the Jewish and Muslim method of slaughtering animals, the veil and the turban, and religious and ethnic schools) to find out if the policy of t
This thesis explores the role of the architect in the construction process. The project involves designing, projecting, and constructing a 30-square-meter Attefall house in accordance with Swedish building regulations, where the architect assumes full responsibility from concept to completed building. By combining design and construction, the study investigates how the architect’s direct involveme
Problem discussion: The process of paper production includes numerous steps from that a customer order is received to that a finished product is delivered to the customer. A desire exists at Holmen Paper to be able to ease and improve the complex operational methods through the use of computer-aided simulation. Based on the reasoning above the problem to solve in this master thesis is to resolve w
A mm-wave divide-by-two circuit with high injection efficiency, implemented in a 28-nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS process is demonstrated stand-alone, as well as using an on-chip voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) as the input signal source. Measurements show that the divider has a 30.1 % tuning range centered at an output frequency of 24 GHz, at an input signal power of -1
The effects of chylomicron-prothrombin complexes on platelet activation, including platelet aggregation, serotonin release, arachidonic acid release and increases of platelet cytosolic [Ca2+]i were examined. Furthermore the role of platelet factor Xa on the conversion of chylomicron bound prothrombin to thrombin was studied by using a synthetic inhibitor of factor Xa, TenStop. The chylomicron-protThe effects of chylomicron-prothrombin complexes on platelet activation, including platelet aggregation, serotonin release, arachidonic acid release and increases of platelet cytosolic [Ca2+]i were examined.

A collaborative action research initiative was conducted in collaboration with professionals in a set of clinical research and development networks in a local health care system in Sweden. This is an examination of the interaction between engaging in collaborative action research practice and the power of tradition in health care. From observations and interviews with the coordinators of
It is generally accepted that there were well-established relationships between castles and commerce in medieval Sweden. However, to date, the complexities of those relationships have arguably not been fully explored. Through focusing on archaeological evidence from three very different examples, Stockholm, Borgholm and Piksborg, this paper seeks to illustrate the variety of often intimate and com
Journalism has an important role in making political participation visible to the public. In representing the voices of the public, journalism produces discourses on democratic engagement that tell us a great deal about the norms of how these discourses conceive of practices of political engagement. The aim of this article is to study the ways in which speaker identities are given to and taken by
The discussion of the transition to farming in southern Africa and the formation of Early Iron Age society, referred to in Mozambican archaeology as the Early Farming Communities (EFC), is complicated by the lack of surveys in key areas of intensive contacts. This article presents the results of excavations at the EFC site Chicumbane in the eastern lower Limpopo Valley, dated 500–800 AD. The varia
The mechanical behaviour of wood was studied from a micro up to a macro level. Wood is a cellular material possessing a high degree of anisotropy. Like other cellular solids, it often exhibits a highly nonlinear stress–strain behaviour. In the present study the mechanical properties of the cellular structure of wood are characterized and modelled, the irregular cell shape, the anisotropic layered
From 1953-1963 Nyasaland was a part of the Central African Federation, along with Northern and Southern Rhodesia. The establishment of the Federation was hugely unpopular in Nyasaland due to fears it would be dominated by the white settler community in Southern Rhodesia. Supporters of the Federation, in the UK and Southern Rhodesia, argued that Nyasaland would gain financially from inclusion in th
The study shows that while auditors rely on their financial audit expertise, the CSRD introduces new complexities requiring interdisciplinary knowledge and enhanced social support structures. Despite the high level of detail and comprehensiveness in the CSRD provisions, applying the directive in practice demands auditors to engage in subjective interpretive work at both the client and regulatory l
