In the next five years 250 000 homes will be built, but it is still almost 200 000 fewer than what will be needed. A solution to the housing shortage could be that we live closer together. By making interviewa with people with experience of cohabiting I found that many people experience sounds and noises from the

Inflammatory bowel diseases as ulcerative colitis and Cohn’s disease represent significant health problems in the western world. Colon cancer is a common consequence of those chron- ic inflammatory disorders, thereby it is essential to improve knowledge and research level of this area. AOM/DSS is a known and well-established chemically induced mice model of coli- tis associated cancer. In order to

This study was done due to observed differences during production, involving the active pharmaceutical ingredient mesalazine, obtained from different suppliers. The aim of the present thesis was to make an investigation of previously not specified properties of mesalazine. This was done to enable adjustment of different parameters during production to account for differences in the raw material.

En fastighet är fast egendom definierad som jord vilken avgränsas antingen horisontellt eller både horisontellt och vertikalt. Vid förändring i fastighetsindelningen utförs en lantmäteriförrättning där fastighetsbildningslagen tillämpas. Om det finns ett hinder mot ny- eller ombildning av fastigheten där sökt åtgärd därför inte är möjlig kan en lantmäteriförrättning vilandeförklaras, om åtgärden sThe cadastral procedure is, in Sweden, led by a cadastral authority. If there is an obstacle to applied new division into property units, the cadastral authority can declare the cadastral procedure dormant until the obstacle is obviated if the new division into property is later expected to be allowed. This master thesis aims to clarify how dormant declaration is used today and how the implementat

Denna studie behandlar den komplexa karaktären hos snölaviner och hur de kan förutsägas, och därmed undvikas, vid navigering genom fjällterräng under vinteraktiviteter. Risken för laviner i skidområdet Nuolja, i norra Sverige, utvärderades genom en experimentell tillämpning av The Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) som är en modell utvecklad för planering och bedömning av lavinexponering. ModThis study addresses the complex nature of snow avalanches and how their location can be predicted, and thus avoided, when navigating through mountainous terrain during winter recreations. The avalanche risk in the ski area of Nuolja, in northern Sweden, was evaluated by an experimental implementation of the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) which is a model for pre-trip planning and assessm

Denna magisteruppsats bygger på en översättning av ca 6000 ord ur den populärvetenskapliga boken Life in a Medieval Castle av Joseph och Frances Gies.

I avsnittet som följer textanalysen diskuteras den globala översättningsstrategin utifr

Protoplanetary disks consist of matter in both gas and solid form. The sizes of the solid particles, dust grains, although in minority compared to the gas, are important in the formation of larger bodies such as planetesimals. This is a topic which has been widely explored. However, the impact of the dust grain sizes on the underlying disk structure has not yet been as extensively modeled. Differe

According to many sources - such as television and science - the final frontier is space. And seemingly, one of the hottest related topics today are asteroids and their presumed promise of inherent wealth - or doom - depending on who reaches who first. The wealth is represented mainly by volatiles for fuel production and precious metals for technological development. The doom is represented by a p
