Purpose: To analyse and discuss screening for the detection of congenital cataract in two Nordic countries, Denmark and Sweden. Methods: Until 2011, in Denmark, no guideline concerning screening for congenital cataract existed. Since 2011, Danish guidelines regarding eye examination include examination with a pencil light at age 5 weeks, whereas newborn red reflex examination using a handheld opht
The effect of heat treatment on the soluble protein content in oat groats (Kerstin commercial variety) was evaluated using asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) in combination with online multiangle light scattering (MALS) and UV detection. The AF4 method was used to separate the monomeric proteins from globulin hexamer and aggregate proteins and beta-glucan polysaccharides in the soluble
This study (N = 102 women) evaluated the time course of posttraumatic stress symptomatology (PTSS) at different stages of nonmetastastic cancer diagnosis and treatment: during treatment, at the end of treatment, and at a 6-12 months follow-up. We also assessed the contribution of demographic, trait, and state predictors to PTSS, and coping processes as proximal mediators of the relation between Ty
Urbaniseringen innebär att det blir mer och mer hårdgjorda ytor i städer, vilket ökar belastningen på dagvattennätet. Vidare så innebär klimatförändringarna ytterligare utmaningar då nederbörden i Sverige antas öka. För att hantera detta föreslås hållbara dagvattenlösningar varav gröna tak kan vara en del. Detta skapar ett behov att på ett enkelt sätt modellera avrinningen från gröna tak. I detta The increasing urbanization means there are more and more impermeable surfaces in cities. This is straining the capacity of the stormwater network. Furthermore, climate change is assumed to bring about more precipitation in Sweden in the future. In order to deal with these challenges a sustainable approach to stormwater management is needed. Green roofs can be one part of the solution. This create
The grain growth of WC in WC-7%Co cemented carbides with Cr-addition was investigated for cemented carbides synthesized from four different raw materials varying in grain size. Cr additions were 4%of the Co binder phase. To investigate the effect of Cr on grain growth two of the raw materials were also synthesized without Cr-additions. To investigate the effect of cobalt content on grain growth ce
Syftet med denna framställning är att, mot bakgrund av att arvsrätt existerar inom äktenskap, undersöka om sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad samt att diskutera sambors efterlevandeskydd de lege ferenda. För att uppnå syftet undersöks efterlevandeskyddet för sambor respektive makar, hur efterlevandeskyddet för sambor kan stärkas, hur sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad och till sist hThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not it is justifiable that cohabiting partners don’t inherit from each other, given that married couples do. Furthermore, I am going to discuss cohabiting partners’ provision for surviving lex ferenda. Towards this purpose I will look into current survivorship legislation that affects cohabiting partners as well as married couples, how it can
In the present study, the relationship of multidimensional perfectionism (self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism) and depressive symptoms related to disordered eating behaviours were investigated in a university context. Results from 112 participants showed that both perfectionism and depressive symptoms have a positive relationship with disordered eating behaviours,
Slow light and Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators are two interesting and useful fields with applications in optical sensing and laser stabilisation among others. Slow light can lead to long interaction times which are useful in light-matter interactions such as sensitive non-linear optics. Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators have small mode volumes and strong beam confinement leading to high Quali
Background: An extensive literature review pointed out the limited knowledge on the value of sustainability transparency in road freight distribution. This is researched in the context of non-compliance to current sustainability issues in Sweden. Additionally, the value of sustainability transparency for the procurement activity of a transport buyer was not explored. Purpose: The purpose of this s
Prästängen is a nature reserve that has been used for hay-making since the 1600th century, but more irregularly the last 100 years. Today most of the area is more like a forest. An inventory of five different parts of the area shows that the field layer is more widespread and has more species in the area were the trees have the largest distance to each other. In that part the trees also have the l

Business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) have become part of almost every com- pany/organisation nowadays, as the benefits of a successful adoption are many. However, the failure scenarios are many as well, with companies/organisations facing dissatisfied employ- ees who do not use the BI&A tools because they find them difficult to use -despite the train- ings-, and others who start usin
Sammanfattning Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan polisens utredningsåtgärder och personuppklaring och lagföring vid hedersrelaterad brottslighet. Det övergripande syftet är att redogöra för vilken betydelse rätt kunskap, förstahandsåtgärder och utredningsmetodik spelar för den fortsatta lagföringen. Jag vill också undersöka om den kunskapssatsning som gjorts av regeringen och rikspolisstyrThis thesis investigates the connection between police investigative measures, solved crimes and prosecution concerning honour related crime. The overall aim is to account for what significance correct knowledge, first measures taken and methods used during the investigation have for the following prosecution. I also wish to investigate whether the augmentation of knowledge initiated by the govern
Sammanfattning Surrogatmoderskap är inte är tillåtet i Sverige och har på senare tid blivit en mycket omdebatterad och högst aktuell fråga. Till följd av förändrade uppfattningar och föreställningar i samhället utreds nu huruvida surrogatmoderskap kan införas som en metod för att avhjälpa ofrivillig barnlöshet.

In mining for extraction of metals residues are often produced. A frequently produced residue is tailings, which potentially contains high amount of metals, soluble salts and acids. Therefore, it is often necessary to deposit, the tailings in stable impoundments, namely tailings dams, if not all tailings produced is used as backfill in mines. In the construction of the tailings dam in Garpenberg,
In Sweden the installed wind power has increased rapidly in recent years and the trend looks to continue. New law, in which Svenska Kraftnät will lend investment capital for expansion of grid capacity to renewable energy, will facilitate the connection of wind power plants to E.ON’s regional grid network. With more wind power connected to the grid network losses will look different.In this report,
