A new EU directive on used vehicles has recently been introduced. It demands that for every scrapped car, at least 85% by weight must be recycled by the year 2006 and 95% by 2015. Today this level is about 80%. The growing car disassembly industry was chosen as the study object of this thesis. Due to the increased demands on recycling, the disassembly industry is expected to undergo comprehensive

A brief critical discussion of the value of autobiographical accounts, as found in Chinese archives, to the historian of modern China, with an aside on the anthology NINE LIVES (ISBN 978-91-978017-4-4) as published by the author and his students in 2011.

I den här artikeln studeras incestdebatten i Sverige under perioden 1982–96. Med utgångspunkt i ett diskursteoretiskt perspektiv undersöks politiska processer, kunskapsproduktion och kamp om tolkningsföreträde i relation till hur incest definierades, debatterades och hanterades. Materialet är enskilda aktörers eller hela organisationers diskursiva praktiker, så som de kom till uttryck i publicerad

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal of all gynaecological malignancies and there is an urgent need to develop new prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers for a more efficient therapy. The discovery of the RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) as a putative cancer biomarker was based on its differential expression in various cancer forms in the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). Further

This thesis focuses on multivariate multilevel modeling of panel data originated from smallholder farm surveys in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries and Vietnam to investigate driving forces in maize and rice production in SSA and diversification of farms in the rice sector in Vietnam. We also present and evaluate different tests for endogeneity in explanatory binary variables in multivariate lin

In convolutional coding, code sequences have infinite length; thus, a maximum-likelihood decoder implies an infinite delay. Due to memory and delay constraints in practical coding schemes, convolutional codes often are either terminated or decoded by a window decoder. When a window decoder is used, the convolutional code sequence is not terminated; instead, the window decoder estimates information

Objective: An association between small for gestational age (SGA) and risk for celiac disease (CD) in childhood has previously been reported. However, this association may reflect residual confounding by genetic or environmental factors. For example, presence of subclinical CD in the mother might be a common cause of both SGA and CD in the offspring. We investigate whether SGA is causally associat
