In the current discourse over what constitutes successful Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy implementation, there is an on-going debate over the ability of programme design to include an appropriate incentive mechanism to stimulate producers to improve the design of their products for reduced life cycle impacts, and especially the impacts and costs from the end-of-life management. At t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bestämning av koncentrationen av kadmium, kvicksilver och bly i människokroppen. Värdet av röntgenfluorescensmätningar in vivo.Two XRF methods have been used for in vivo studies of mercury, cadmium and lead. Persons with a history of long-term occupational mercury exposure had elevated mercury concentrations in their kidneys (up to 65 µg/g). The minimum detectable concentration varied between 12 and 45 µg/g. Battery plant workers had elevated cadmium concentrations in their kidneys (up to 350 µg/g) and liver (up to 80 µg/
This study focuses on modelling the cutting resistance as a function of the workpiece material properties. Thus, for a workpiece material the cutting resistance may be predicted from the material properties without using any experiments. The cutting resistance may then be used to determine the cutting forces, data which in turn may be used to determine appropriate process parameters and select cut
This article documents new sightings of the leafcutting bee Megachile lagopoda (L.) in Åhus, Scania, Sweden on cotton thistle in a pine forest. The importance of areas of undeveloped land as habitat for rare species and the dispersal range of the bee are discussed.
Wireless networked embedded systems are becoming increasingly important in a wide area of technical fields. In this tutorial paper we present recent results on the design of these systems and their use in control applications, that have been developed within the project Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems (RUNES). RUNES is a European Integrated Project with the aim to control comp
This thesis, which is based on four original papers, deals with human dendritic cells (DCs) in immunity and allergy. DCs play a key role in the regulation of immune responses by acting as the sentinels of the immune system, specialized in the uptake of a diverse range of antigens. These cells migrate to local lymph nodes and become highly efficient in inducing T cell proliferation, thus inducing a
Abstract in Romanian În lucrarea de faţă realizăm o prezentare a unicului lectorat de limba română din Regatul Suediei sub următoarele aspecte: scurtă istorie a prezenţei limbii române în cadrul Universităţii din Lund; organizarea și funcționarea lectoratului, activitatea didactică; realizarea de materiale didactice și auxiliare; dezvoltarea lectoratului pe parcursul anului universitar; activitățiThe essay comprises a presentation of the single Romanian language lectureship from Sweden, focusing on the following: a brief history of the existence of the Romanian language at Lund University; the organization and the functioning of the lectureship, the didactic activity; the making of the didactic and auxiliary papers; the development of the lectureship along the academic year; activities for
Opera improvisation at The Malmö Academy of Music has been a pedagogical and artistic experiment. This is the final account concerning this pedagogical and artistic research project. Singers who are studying classical singing at the bachelor and master programmes of theacademy have participated. The account includes historical and theoretical reflections on the subject and comments on the work in
A combined experimental and theoretical effort has been made to identify the most important contributors to equilibrium ionization in the post-flame gas. In the past, nitric oxide (NO) has always been assumed to be the main electron donor in the compressed hot post-flame gases. However, correlations observed between the amount of NO in the exhaust gases and the current amplitude may be deceiving d
