Buttlekrigarens grav : Om stolphål och Buttlekrigarens grav som rituell arena / The Buttlewarrior’s grave : Postholes and the Buttlewarrior’s grave as a ritual arenaAndersson, Julia January 2023 (has links)
Syftet med studien är att utforskar vad stolphålen i ”Buttlekrigaren” indikerar utifrån hur de förhåller sig till varandra, till andra konstruktioner i graven samt till den övriga gravkontexten. Ytterligare har de omkringliggande lämningar i Buttle Änge samt de källkritiska aspekterna av dokumentation av stolphål beaktas. Materialet avgränsas till Buttle Änge och grävningarna sedan 2009. Analysen av materialet har genomförts utifrån ett kronologiskt och rumsligt perspektiv samt via tolkningar och definitioner av konstruktionselement av gravar; rituella företeelser och minnen kopplade till gravar; samt utifrån källkritiska aspekter över metodik och tolkning. Resultatet indikerar att stolphålen i ”Buttlekrigarens grav” var en del av begravningsritualen och utgjordes av en eller flera konstruktioner som var uppförda tidigare eller samtida med primärgraven. Graven har successivt förändrats jämte bruket av den och området Buttle Änge samtidigt som de ursprungliga avgränsningarna och användningsområden har behållits. Å andra sidan är stolphål enklare att tolka men svårare att fastställa. / The aim of this study is to explore what the postholes in the “Buttlewarrior’s grav” indicate based on how they relate to each other, to other constructions in the grave and to the rest of the grave context. Additionally, the surrounding remains of Buttle Änge, and a source-critical aspect of the documentation of postholes has been taken in consideration. The material is delimited to the area of Buttle Änge and to the excavation conducted since 2009. The study applies a chronological and spatial perspective and analyses the material though interpretations and definitions of construction parts of graves; ritual aspects and memories connected to graves; and source-critical aspects of methodology and interpretation. The results shows that the postholes in the “Buttlewarrior’s grave” were a part of the burial ritual and consisted of one or a few constructions erected later or contemporary with the primary grave. The grave has gradually changed along with the use of it and the area of Buttle Änge, while the original boundaries and areas of use have been preserved. On the other hand, postholes are easier to interpret but more difficult to verify.

Livscykelanalys av rivningsvirke : Med fokus på klimatpåverkan, försurning och övergödningEdenholm Sjöberg, Johanna, Karlsson, Filippa January 2024 (has links)
Den svenska byggindustrin spelar en betydande roll för landets koldioxidutsläpp och avfallsproduktion. År 2016 stod den för nästan en femtedel av de totala växthusgasutsläppen och genererade upp till 9,8 miljoner ton avfall. För att minska klimatpåverkan från nybyggen har byggbranschen antagit en plan som inkluderar minskad materialanvändning och val av mer hållbara material. I januari 2022 trädde en ny lag i kraft som kräver klimatdeklaration för byggnader. Lagens syfte är att minska klimatpåverkan från nybyggen och projekt med bygglov genom att öka byggherrens medvetenhet. Den nya lagen kräver endast en livscykelanalys från vagga till grind. I denna studie utförs en livscykelanalys, LCA, i syfte att undersöka klimatpåverkan, försurning och övergödning per ton rivningsvirke från demontering till och med sluthantering, från grind till grav. Det undersöks även var i kedjan från grind till grav som de tre miljöpåverkanskategorierna är som störst och vilka möjligheter som finns att minska miljöpåverkan vid hantering av rivningsvirke. LCA:n i studien utförs enligt svenska institutets standarder och omfattar fyra faser: mål och omfattning, inventeringsanalys, miljöpåverkananalys och tolkning. Efter kartläggningen av träavfallets resa från grind till grav konstaterades att allt träavfall från byggarbetsplatser i Karlstad går via ett antal aktörer för att slutligen förbrännas i Kvarnsveden och generera fjärrvärme. Systemets miljöpåverkan beräknades i programvaran SimaPro vilket resulterade i en fossil klimatpåverkan på 111 kg CO2 e, försurning på 0.499 mol + H e och övergödning på 0.00753 kg P e. Transporter visade sig spela en betydande roll i samtliga miljöpåverkanskategorier. Två känslighetsanalyser utfördes i syfte att undersöka alternativa scenarier för träavfallet. Det som visade sig vara mest effektivt för att sänka miljöpåverkan för systemet var att låta förbränning av träavfallet ske på Karlstads Energis värmeanläggning i Heden vilket gav en förbättring på 83% i klimatpåverkan, 39% för försurning samt 86% för övergödning. Anledningen till minskningen berodde på den förkortade transportsträckan. / The Swedish construction industry plays a significant role in the country's carbon dioxide emissions and waste production. In 2016, it accounted for nearly one-fifth of the total greenhouse gas emissions and generated up to 9.8 million tons of waste. To reduce the climate impact of new construction, the construction industry has adopted a plan that includes reduced material usage and the selection of more sustainable materials. In January 2022, a new law came into effect requiring climate declarations for buildings. The purpose of the law is to reduce the climate impact of new constructions and projects with building permits by increasing the awareness of the builder. The new law only requires a life cycle analysis from cradle to grind. In this study, a Life Cycle Assessment, LCA, is conducted to examine the climate impact, acidification, and eutrophication per ton of demolition timber from dismantling to final disposal, from gate to grave. It also investigates where in the gate to grave chain the three enviromental impact categories are most significant and what opportunities exist to reduce the enviromental impact in the handling of demolition timber. The LCA methodology in the study follows the standards of the Swedish Institute and includes four phases: goal and scope, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. After mapping the journey of wood waste from gate to grave, it was found that all wood waste from construction sites in Karlstad goes through a number of actors to Kvarnsveden where it is incinerated and generate district heating. The environmental impact of the system was calculated in the software SimaPro, resulting in a fossil climate impact of 111 kg CO2 eq, acidification of 0.499 mol + H eq, and eutrophication of 0.00753 kg P eq. Transport was found to play a significant role in all environmental impact categories. Two sensitivity analyses were performed to explore alternative scenarios for wood waste. The most effective measure to reduce the environmental impact of the system turned out to be allowing the incineration of wood waste to take place at Karlstad Energy's heating plant in Heden, resulting in an 83% improvement in climate impact, 39% reduction in acidification, and 86% decrease in eutrophication. The reduction was attributed to the shortened transportation distance.

Histoire de la nouvelle tendance / History of the new tendencyViculin, Marina 16 January 2010 (has links)
Le mouvement Nouvelle tendance (NT) est un groupe international d’artistes formé pendantles années soixante (1961 - 1973) autour d’un programme d’expositions de la Galerie d’ArtContemporain (Galerija suvremene umjetnosti) de Zagreb. Au cours de son existence, lemouvement NT a rassemblé presque deux cents artistes et plusieurs groupes tels que GRAV,T, N, Zero, Equipo 57, Dvizhenije, MID etc. La première étape de ce mouvement jusqu’en 1968est caractérisée par l’abstraction géometrique et l’art lumino-cinétique tandis que dans laseconde partie (1968 -1973), Nouvelle tendance ouvre le chapitre de l’art numérique. / New Tendancy movement (NT) is an international group of artists united in the sixties(1961 - 1973) around the exhibition programme at the Gallery of Contemporary Art (Galerijasuvremene umjetnosti) in Zagreb. During its existence, the movement gathered around twohundred artists and differents groups such as GRAV, T, N, Zero, Equipo 57, Dvizhenije, MID etc.The first phase of the movement that lasted until 1968 was characterized by the geometricabstraction and lumino-kinetic art. During the second phase, New Tendancy opened thechapter of numerical arts.

Kyrkotillhörighet och diet i det medeltida Visby : Diet och social status utifrån isotopanalyser av gravlagda från tre VisbykyrkorLindkvist, Jonas January 2008 (has links)
<p>This paper deals with three mediaeval churches in the town Visby, Gotland. These churches were located in different areas in Visby. Allegedly the areas where St Hans and Ste Gertrud were located were inhabited by wealthier people, and the more peripheral area where St Mikael was located was where the poor lived. Therefore, the people that were buried at St Mikael should be of lower social status than the people buried at St Hans and Ste Gertrud. Based on the fact that an individuals diet was dependant on his or hers social status, dietary studies on skeletal remains from the three different churches have been conducted to find out dietary patterns among the individuals buried at each church respectively. The studies have included stable isotope ratio analyses, δ13C and δ15N, in human bone collagen. The results support the hypothesis that there were differences between individuals buried at different churches as stated above.</p>

Previous issue date: 2013-11-27 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Preeclampsia is defined as an extremely serious complication of the pregnancy-puerperium cycle with delayed emergence of cardiovascular risk factors, including
metabolic syndrome. The research aimed estimate the prevalences of metabolic syndrome
and associated factors in women with preeclampsia and normal pregnancy followed five
years after childbirth. This is a cross-sectional observational study using a quantitative
approach, conducted at a maternity school in the city of Natal in Rio Grande do Norte
state. The sample was composed of 70 women with previous preeclampsia and 75 normal
selected by simple random probability sampling. Subjects were analyzed for
sociodemographic, obstetric, clinical, anthropometric and biochemical parameters.
International Diabetes Federation criteria were adopted to diagnose metabol ic syndrome.
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney, Student s t, Pearson s chi-squared, and Fisher s
exact tests, in addition to simple logistic regression, were used for data analysis, at a 5%
significance level (p ≤ 0.05). Statistical tests demonstrated elevated body mass index (p =
0.001), predominance of family history of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.022) and significantly
higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the preeclampsia group (37.1%) when
compared to normal (22.7%) (p = 0.042). Intergroup comparison showed a high number of
metabolic syndrome components in women with previous preeclampsia. Altered systolic
and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.001) was the most prevalent, followed by low
concentrations of high-density lipoproteins (p = 0.049), and hyperglycemia (p=0.030).
There was a predominance of the metabolic syndrome in women with schooling 0-9 years
(42.4%) (p = 0.005), body mass index above 30Kg.m

(52.3%) (p < 0.001), uric acid high
(62.5%) (p = 0.050 and family history of hypertension (38.5%) (p< 0.001).
Multivariate analysis of the data showed that the body mass index above 30 kg.m2,
education level less than 10 years of study (p < 0.001) and family history of hypertension
(p = 0.002) remained associated with the metabolic syndrome after multivariate analysis of
the data. It is considered Women with previous preeclampsia exhibited high prevalence of
metabolic syndrome and their individual components in relation to normal, especially,
altered systolic and diastolic blood pressure, low concentrations of high-density
lipoproteins and hyperglycemia. The factors associated to this ou tcome were obesity, less
than 10 years of schooling, and family history of hypertension. Overall, this study identified
young women with a history of PE exposed to a higher cardiovascular risk than normal / A pr?-ecl?mpsia ? uma complica??o de extrema gravidade do ciclo grav?dico puerperal e

Previous issue date: 2014-09-19 / A gesta??o ? um per?odo singular na vida da mulher, demandando aten??o especial
da fam?lia e dos profissionais de sa?de. No Brasil, o Minist?rio da Sa?de adotou o
Cart?o da Gestante para acompanhamento do Pr?-natal, o que n?o tem se mostrado
instrumento capaz de contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade dessa assist?ncia,
considerando que os registros s?o falhos, dificultando a compreens?o dos mesmos
por parte das gestantes. O projeto de interven??o que resultou nesta disserta??o
teve por objetivo implantar uma Caderneta da Gestante visando o aprimoramento ao
atendimento ? mulher no ciclo grav?dico-puerperal. O local da interven??o foi a
Unidade Sa?de da Fam?lia do Campo da Mangueira, no munic?pio de Maca?ba/RN,
Brasil. A Caderneta foi adotada como ferramenta tecnol?gica da gest?o do cuidado,
de modo inclusivo e participativo, incluindo gestantes e equipe em todas as fases da
implanta??o. Foram selecionadas e acompanhadas 09 (nove) gestantes, na faixa
et?ria de 19 (dezenove) a 30 (trinta) anos, sendo a m?dia de idade de 24 (vinte e
quatro) anos e no per?odo gestacional compreendido de 07 (sete) a 11 (onze)
semanas durante abril a julho de 2014. No total foram realizadas 46 (quarenta e
seis) consultas, dentre as quais 27 (vinte e sete) pelo m?dico, 19 (dezenove) pela
enfermeira, al?m dos atendimentos realizados pelo dentista, imuniza??o e visitas
domiciliares. O registro do processo de implanta??o da caderneta constou de
anota??es em prontu?rios e relat?rios dos momentos de encontros com gestantes e
com equipe de sa?de. Constatou-se que al?m de uma constru??o coletiva,
humanizada e interdisciplinar houve a satisfa??o demonstrada pelas gestantes
contribuindo dessa maneira para a ades?o ao Pr?-Natal - PN, maior estabelecimento
de v?nculos, melhora da autoestima das gestantes e melhoria na qualidade do PN.
Considera-se que a implanta??o da Caderneta da Gestante na referida Unidade de
Sa?de contribuiu para mudan?as nos modos de fazer a aten??o materno-infantil na
Estrat?gia de Sa?de da Fam?lia e pode ser recomendada para implanta??o na rede
municipal. / Pregnancy is a unique period in a woman's life, demanding attention from family and
health professionals. In Brazil, the Ministry of Health adopted the Pregnant Card to
monitor the Prenatal, which has not proven means of contributing to improving the
quality of that care, considering that the records are flawed, making the
understanding of them more difficult for the pregnant women. The intervention project
that resulted in this dissertation sought to deploy a Handbook of the Pregnant aimed
at improving the treatment of women in pregnancy and childbirth. The intervention
site was the Family Health Unit of the Campo da Mangueira, in the municipality of
Maca?ba/RN, Brazil. The Handbook was adopted as a technological tool of
management of care, in an inclusive and participatory manner, including pregnant
women and staff in all phases of the deployment. Were selected and monitored nine
(09) patients, aged between nineteen (19) and thirty (30) years old, with an average
age of 24 (twenty four) years and comprised the gestation period of seven (07) to
eleven (11) weeks during the period April-July 2014. Altogether were made 46 (fortysix)
queries, among which 27 (twenty-seven) by the doctor, nineteen (19) by the
nurse in addition to the services performed by the dentist, immunization and home
visits. The record of the deployment process of the book consisted of notes in
medical records and reports of the moments of encounters with pregnant women and
health care team. It was found that in addition to a collective, humanized and
interdisciplinary construction, there was the satisfaction demonstrated by pregnant
women, thus contributing to adherence to Prenatal - PN, higher establishment of
links, improved self-esteem of pregnant women and improving the quality of PN. It is
considered that the implementation of the Handbook in the mentioned Health Unit
contributed to changes in ways of doing the maternal and childcare in the Family
Health Strategy and can be recommended for deployment in the municipality of
Maca?ba.

Gåtfulla björnen i graven : En studie av björnklor i järnåldersgravar från Gotland / Enigmatic bear in the grave : A study of bear claws in Iron Age graves from GotlandJordahl, Jane January 2023 (has links)
Uppsatsen undersöker björnklor upptäckta i järnåldersgravar (ca 500 e.Kr. – 1100 e.Kr.) på Gotland, Sverige. Brunbjörnen har aldrig funnits som en del av i öns fauna, vilket innebär att varje björnklo som upptäcks är ett spår av ett forntida utbyte mellan ön i fråga och omgivande fastlandsområden. Tidigare forskning inom ämnet har mest bestått av sammanställningar av gravkontexter med björnklor. För att ytterligare tolka björnklorna och för att diskutera det möjliga syftet bakom deponeringar i gravar behöver emellertid klor knytas till tillhörande tassar. En vanlig förklaring är att björnklor härstammar från pälsverk. Teorin om päls fungerar dock inte för alla upptäckta klor. Därför syftar uppsatsen till att skapa en metrisk metod genom mätningar av referensmaterial av björnklor. Tanken är att mätmetoden ska användasför att undersöka och tolka arkeologiska fynd av björnklor. Tolkningen av klorna är en viktig del i förståelsen om hur djurresurser nyttjades under förhistorisk tid. / This paper examines bear claws discovered in Iron Age graves (c. 500 AD – 1100 AD) in Gotland, Sweden. The brown bear has never existed as a part in the island's fauna, meaning that every bear claw discovered is a trace of the ancient exchange between this island and the surrounding mainlands. Previous research on the subject has mostly consisted of compilations of the number of grave contexts with bear claws. However, to further interpret bear claws from each burial context and to discuss the possible purpose behind deposition in the grave, claws need to be assessed for associated paws. A common explanation is that bear claws derives from fur. However, the theory of fur does not work for all discovered claws. Therefore, the paper aims to create a metric method through measurements of reference material of bear claws. The idea is that the measurement method could be used to examineand interpret the archaeological bear claws. The interpretation of the claws is an important part of the understanding of how animal resources were used in prehistoric times.
