Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas formed during biological wastewater treatment under aerobic and anoxic conditions. Two reasons for high N2O emissions are low oxygen concentration during nitrification and low carbon/nitrogen-ratio during denitrification. In this full-scale study of N2O emissions from a sequencing batch reactor for treating digester supernatant, the oxygen concentration was
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE), perfomed by ingesting a small vitamin-sized camera pill, was developed over a period of a couple of decades and –since its introduction in clinical practice at the dawn of the millennium– has become an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of small bowel (SB) diseases. At the same time, other fields such as minimally invasive diagnosis of other parts of the
Det straffrättsliga orsaksbegreppet har främst diskuterats i rättsvetenskaplig doktrin, eftersom det saknas en legaldefinition och mängden rättspraxis kring begreppet är begränsad i Sverige. År 2024 kom dock ett avgörande, NJA 2024 s. 36, där Högsta domstolen för första gången uttryckligen diskuterade orsaksbegreppet. Rättsfallet handlade om alternativ kausalitet i form av alternativa dödsorsakThe concept of causation in criminal law has been discussed mainly in legal doctrine, since there is no legal definition, and the amount of case law regard ing the concept is limited, in Sweden. In 2024, a decision was made, NJA 2024 s. 36, where the Swedish Supreme Court explicitly discussed the con cept of causation for the first time. The case was about alternative causality in the terms of
The mass mobilization and the collective political engagement of the Gezi Park protests of 2013 came as a surprise for many in Turkey. What was new about these large-scale demonstrations was not only the sheer number of people taking place in them (more than 3.5 million), but rather the expansive range of the protesters.This presentation looks into the Gezi events through a research question of Ho
Genom Sveriges implementering av EU:s 2014 års upphandlingsdirektiv innehåller svensk rätt sedan år 2017 såväl fakultativa som obligatoriska bestämmelser om ställandet av arbetsrättsliga villkor i offentliga upphandlingar. Denna uppsats identifierar dock flera praktiska svårigheter gällande användandet av dessa bestämmelser på grund av den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellens särdrag. I brist på en lagThrough Sweden's implementation of EU’s 2014 public procurement directives the Swedish legal system contains since 2017 optional and mandatory statutes regarding specific labour law requirements in public procurement. This thesis however identifies several practical difficulties regarding the use of these statutes because of the characteristics typical for the Swedish labour market model. The
The main purpose of this study is to examine whether a specific group of non ideal crime victims senses that the standard view of the ideal crime victim stands in the way of them getting the help from the judiciary that they are entitled to. If a discrepancy between theory and practice do exists, then why does it exist and what changes need to be done to eliminate it? These questions have been s
Den 9 december 1948 antogs konventionen om förebyggande och bestraffning av brottet folkmord. Begreppet “folkmord”, myntat av den framlidne professorn Raphael Lemkin, definieras som den systematiska förintelsen av gruppers grundläggande livsvillkor med syftet att förinta gruppen i sig. I artikel II av folkmordskonventionen definieras folkmord istället som handlingar som “förövas i avsikt att förin
One organizational innovation introduced by the clean energy for all Europeans package (CEP) is that of the energy community (EC), including the renewable energy community (REC) and citizen energy community (CEC). The translation of related directives into national legislation is underway in Sweden, and the Swedish Energy Market Inspectorate (Ei) has proposed a new law on ECs, which has been sent
Abstract OBJECTIVE To assess the role of four biomarkers of neuroendocrine activation and endothelial dysfunction in the longitudinal prediction of fragility fractures. METHODS We analysed a population-based prospective cohort of 5415 community-dwelling individuals (mean age, 68.9±6.2 years) enrolled in the Malmö Preventive Project followed during 8.1±2.9 years, and investigated the longitudinal Objective To assess the role of four biomarkers of neuroendocrine activation and endothelial dysfunction in the longitudinal prediction of fragility fractures.

The aim of this thesis was to study nurse assistants’ experience of palliative care and to investigate how an intervention with a focus on a palliative care approach in residential care facilities influenced the nurse assistants and their work situation. The thesis is based on two qualitative and two quantitative studies, focusing on nurse assistants working at residential care facilities for olde
Objective To investigate women's experiences of attending existing counseling programs for childbirth-related fear and the effect of this counseling over time. Design A longitudinal survey. Setting Three hospitals in the central north of Sweden. Sample A selected sample of 936 women. Of these, 70 received counseling due to fear of childbirth (study-group). Methods Data were collected with question
Sweden was the first country in the world to introduce rules on transparency in public activities - the principle of public access to official records was introduced as early as 1766 as part of the Freedom of the Press Act of 1766. This legislation, which was unique at the time, has since meant that Sweden has had public access to official records and transparency as the main rule for public activ
Registered- and community health nurses in municipal home care (hereafter referred to as home care nurses) have a demanding job that is special compared to other forms of healthcare. The work is mobile, and care in the field is often carried out in solitude. At the same time, the patients being cared for often have complex care needs, requiring cooperation and interaction.

Popular Abstract in English Imagine a solar powered flash light. Each photon absorbed by the flash light’s solar cell creates electric energy and the flash light’s light source converts the electrical energy again into photons. The purpose of such a device may be questionable, because you would be surprised if it would create more light than what it absorbs. However, under certain conditions it isIn this thesis the luminescence properties of highly doped semiconductors are studied with focus on degenerately n-doped InP. It is demonstrated how photoluminescence measurements on degenerately doped semiconductors allow an estimation of the doping concentration without need for electrical contacts. The degenerate doping can furthermore reveal the conduction band structure for energies higher th
A prosumer is a customer that both uses and supplies energy, such as electricity or district heat. These are already a part of the electricity system. Lately, prosumers have also been discussed as a part of the district heating systems. This calls for more knowledge in this area. The present study seeks to evaluate the potential for district heating contribution from small scale prosumers, based o
During the last few decades interdependencies between univrsities and the surrounding society have multiplied, making universities increasingly dependent on their environments. The number of of demands on and requirements of univesities from various sectors in society hav enot only grown in number but are also changing more quickly. This development affects universities which need increased flexib
