The aim of this essay is to contribute to a better understanding of the prehistoric site Flyhov in the province of V?sterg?tland, Sweden and its immediate surroundings from an archaeological perspective. The site contains material artistic and ritual expressions from different prehistoric periods, and its long use-history (from the Stone Age until today) shows that the site, and its remains, has attracted the interest from people in prehistory, in modern times, as well as today. With a point of departure in perspectives derived from hermeneutics and phenomenology the essay examines the site?s prehistoric remains, the use of, and the interest directed towards, the site and its remains during different time- and use-horizons and how these horizons have been affected and intertwined with each other, in a manner where earlier material expressions have affected people and their new expressions.

The aim with this study is to achieve an increased understanding and knowledge about terrorist groups. The factors that the study come to be focused around is the groups' objectives, their organization, which enemies they have and with which means that they use for there terrorism. In order to respond to this aim the four different terrorist groups, Colombian revolutionary armed forces (FARC), Baskien - our native country and our freedom (ETA), red Army fraction (RAF) and al Qaida is studied.To achieve the aim of this study the methods qualitative text analysis and comparative method is being used. It is designed also within the framework of this study a categorization model that is used as method in order to do a division of the studied groups based on their objective, enemies, organization and means. The model is also constructed to be used in order to analyze others terrorist groups than these current groups.The result of the study is presented in the categorization model on page 32 in the essay..

This Masters thesis work describes a comparison between two different methods for estimation of the down channel (base station to mobile subscriber) in Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA). The first estimation method, Optimal Feed-forward Channel Estimation (OFCE), is a conventional method that bases the estimates on data that is known to both sender and receiver, so called pilots. The second method, Decision Directed Channel Estimation (DDCE), is an elaboration of OFCE. It also uses user data for estimation. Simulations show that DDCE, in comparison to OFCE, does not attain an improvement in signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) for high bit error rates (BER).

This study explores the effects of two different post-treatment methods on stain reduction in glazed creamware from the late 20th century. The objects stains have been characterized by type one and type two stains which is the result of prolonged contact with food residues, were subjected to the same initial stain reduction. The two post-treatment methods examined are soaking the objects in deionized water and surface rinsing with deionized water. The comparative analysis included photographs under normal and UV-light exposure to assess stain visibility, weight measurements before and after treatments to monitor the absorption and evaporation of liquids, and observations throughout the experiment. The results revealed that while type two stains showed significant alterations after treatments, specifically after soaking, type one stains remained unaffected by both methods.

After the last election Sweden has got a government that claims to be feminist. This thesis discusses whether the change of labels has also brought along policy formulated in a feminist way, arguing that the way policy is expressed affects how people see a certain problem. Three policy proposals are analysed, and in only one case the government seems to have been influenced by feminist ideas. The other proposals partly support claims made by new institutionalism that norms and routines in an organisation work to resist policy change, but also shows that feminist ideas are resisted more actively. The fact that so called policy entrepreneurs was present in the policy process at a certain period in time, probably counts for one explanation to the exceptional policy.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka samstÀmmigheten mellan sjukgymnasters prioriteringar. Sjukgymnaster inom primÀrvÄrd med landstings-, kommunalt- eller privat huvudmannaskap i Norrbottens LÀn tillfrÄgades om att prioritera 24 fiktiva patientfall. SamstÀmmigheten mellan prioriteringarna berÀknades med Kendalls konkordanskoefficient (W). SamstÀmmigheten var lÄg, Kendalls W=0,224, med stor spridning i prioritering för varje patientfall. Studien hade stort bortfall som analyserades.

America finds itself divided in the midst of strict abortion laws and a contentious presidential election. This era of polarization, raises the question of whether such a great division has permeated through to the U.S Supreme Court. This paper uses two dominant theories of legitimacy; traditional and ideological, respectively, to analyze and compare this issue. The theories are compared empirically by investigating the level of public trust across opposing political affiliations. Unlike most previous research, the results suggest that variation in trust aligns with the ideological distance to the Court between democratic and republican voters. Trust is also found to be dependent on whether the electorate agrees with the decisions of the court or not.

Syftet med undersökningen var att granska vilka vardagliga situationer en grupp elever i skolÄr 5 associerade aritmetiska uppgifter till. I de aritmetiska uppgifterna var alla fyra rÀknesÀtten representerade dÄ elever har olika förmÄgor att knyta an olika rÀknesÀtt. I studien undersöktes Àven om anknytningarna eleverna gjorde var rimliga i relation till verkligheten. Vi valde att anvÀnda en enkÀt dÀr eleverna skrev rÀknehÀndelser till givna aritmetiska uppgifter med utgÄngspunkt i deras egen vardag. Undersökningen visade att mer Àn hÀlften av eleverna inte hade kunskapen att knyta an aritmetiska uppgifter till vardagliga egenupplevda situationer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare equations used to calculate BMR to values of BMR obtained from measurements in order to determine the most suitable equation to be used on children and adolescents with CF.Design: The participants where children and adolescents with CF. Data was collected from the division of Clinical Nutrition at Uppsala Akademiska Sjukhus. Age, weight, height, BMI, BMR, FFM and FM was recorded from 27 measurements. BMR from the participants collected from the indirect respiratory calorimetry was compared to the results obtained from five equations used to obtain a calculated value of BMR.Results: Tverskayas equation was best correlated with the measured BMR for the whole group. The equation underestimated BMR for the participants with a measured BMR over 1400 kcal/24h and overestimated BMR for participants with a measured BMR under 1400 kcal/24h.

Today wireless transmission of data is becoming more and more popular and the need for faster transmission rates is increasing. Since the bandwidth is limited it is important to try to use it to the fullest. CDMA is a technology that allows multiple accesses on the same frequency and time thus making it very bandwidth efficient. The CDMA technology was first introduced in the second generation?s cellular systems but has since then been improved and is reused in today?s 3G systems as Wideband CDMA.

Gymbranschen i Sverige har det senaste a?rtiondet sett en stor tillva?xt med fler akto?rer som har gett sig in pa? marknaden, vilket har lett till att konkurrensen ha?rdnat betydligt. Denna uppsats underso?ker hur sto?rre gymakto?rer pa? marknaden arbetar med sina varuma?rken fo?r att sa?rskilja sig i konkurrensen. En fallstudie med tre av de ledande gymakto?rerna i Uppsala utfo?rs fo?r att kartla?gga vilken medvetenhet kring varuma?rket som finns, och hur akto?rerna arbetar med att fo?rmedla det.

Syfte: Att jÀmföra ackommodations-amplituden med Hofstetters formler genom att upprepa Sterners et al. mÀtningar.Metod: MÀtningarna skedde pÄ 35 personer. Krav för att kunna vara med i studien var att inte ha tropi, amblyopi eller anisometropi. Det var tvÄ personer som uteslöts, den ena klarade inte stereotestet och den andra pÄ grund av amblyopi. Först gjordes en variant av modifierad Humphriss och cyclodami, det öga som inte undersöktes dimmades med 1,5 dioptri (D).
