The aim of this project is to explore and understand the combustion phenomenon in engines operating on gaseous fuels, and develop technologies as an alternative to the present diesel engine technologies for heavy duty applications; which are facing severe challenges like stringent emissions norms, high technology costs and unsustainable fuel supply. The studies presented in this thesis focus on th
Nocturnal hawkmoths are known for impressive visually guided behaviours in dim light, such as hovering while feeding from nectar-bearing flowers. This requires tight visual feedback to estimate and counter relative motion. Discrimination of low velocities, as required for stable hovering flight, is fundamentally limited by spatial resolution, yet in the evolution of eyes for nocturnal vision, main
Background: There are several risk factors for the colonisation, infection and spreading of antibiotic resistant bacteria among elderly residents of nursing homes. An updated estimate of the native prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in uropathogens among Swedish nursing home residents is needed. Methods: Urine specimens were collected for culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing agains
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed prognostic factors regarding long-term outcome for amputation and death among patients who underwent intra-arterial thrombolysis due to lower limb ischemia. METHODS: Consecutive patients with intra-arterial thrombolysis due to lower limb ischemia treated at the Department of Vascular Diseases, University Hospital of Malmö, between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 20
Emissions and fuel economy are evaluated for two types of biofuels, namely 2-phenyl ethanol and cyclohexaneethanol. Both are derived from lignin, a form of lignocellulosic biomass. The former and latter oxygenates have an aromatic and aliphatic (i.e. saturated) ring structure, respectively. Two parametric engine sweeps were performed. First, non-EGR operation by means of varying the load via injec

Deteriorating water quality is a challenge which affects people of the entire world, with a growing population and increased industrialization worldwide. The problem is especially apparent in many developing nations where water resource management must be improved to secure a future sustainable supply. This study was undertaken as a bachelor degree within the MFS-program funded by SIDA. The study
The landfills located at the sea shore or below the ground water table are a severe cause of concern due to their close proximity to sensitive coastal ecosystems and pristine ground waters. Therefore, it is important to assess the long term environmental risks of coastal landfills before their final closure. In this context, the reactive transport models, by allowing us to study the complex interp
The formation of industry standards for environmental issues and corporate social responsibility is gaining acceptance but the number of successfully implemented programs are few. On an individual level companies have for some time applied company standards or codes of conduct. But on a collective level cooperation seems much more difficult. Although from an economic point of view there are clear
Som följd av klimatförändringar kommer klimatanpassningsåtgärder att bli nödvändiga för att skydda mot effekterna av det förändrade klimatet. Det förändrade klimatet kommer innebära att risken för översvämningar och erosion ökar längs med Sveriges kuster, sjöar och vattendrag. Vem det är som bär ansvaret för att se till att dessa klimatanpassningsåtgärder kommer till stånd råder det en osäkerhet kAs a result of climate change, our society will need to start to adapt to the changing conditions. With these changes the risk of floods, races, spills and erosion along the coasts, lakes and streams of Sweden will increase. The need to take action to counteract these impending risks is strong but how is going to take responsibility for these actions? The purpose of the report is to investigate th
Mäns våld mot kvinnor har på senare tid blivit ett alltmer erkänt samhällsproblem. En vanlig uppfattning är att våldet till största del utgörs av fysiska gärningar men ett psykiskt nedbrytande och kontrollerande beteende är dock mer vanligt förekommande. Tydligt är att mäns våld mot kvinnor till stor del grundas i den mellan könen existerande maktobalansen vilket är en viktig utgångspunkt i förståMen’s violence against women has in recent times become a more and more recognised social issue. It is a common misconception that the violence mainly consists of physical abuse, but psychological abuse in terms of controlling and degrading behaviour is somewhat more common. It is apparent gender structures serves as a base from which men’s violence against women can originate and grow. This is im
Over the last 15 years significant advancements in induced polarization (IP) research have taken place, particularly with respect to spectral IP (SIP), concerning the understanding of the mechanisms of the IP phenomenon, the conduction of accurate and broadband laboratory measurements, the modelling and inversion of IF data for imaging purposes and the increasing application of the method in near-
BACKGROUND: Although most pediatric radial neck fractures can be treated with either immobilization alone or closed reduction and immobilization, a small subset result in permanent loss of motion despite surgical management. We sought to characterize the most problematic fractures and correlate final outcomes with both presenting fracture characteristics and the reduction achieved through surgical
Background: Despite newer treatments with immunosuppressive agents, there still exists a considerable morbidity and mortality risk among patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Since 1994 the European Vasculitis Society (EUVAS) has aimed for an improved outcome for patients with AAV, conducting several prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
BACKGROUND: Oncological outcome after radical radiotherapy (RRT) combined with neoadjuvant and adjuvant androgen suppression therapy (AST) may differ according to type of AST. The aim of this nationwide register-based study was to investigate risk of prostate cancer (Pca) death after different neoadjuvant and adjuvant ASTs; (i) bicalutamide, (ii) gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH) or (
BACKGROUND: The widespread use of intramedullary nails (IMNs) compared with sliding hip screws (SHSs) in extracapsular hip fractures (AO/OTA 31-A1, 31-A2, 31-A3) has been questioned because of a higher complication rate, although the outcome might have improved through more recent implant designs and the learning curve. This study aimed to investigate if there is a difference with regard to the cu
Background: Several studies have investigated the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and physical activity (PA). However, further research is needed using objective measures of PA in free-living conditions, while also accounting for the time-variant nature of MetS. This study aimed to: (1) investigate the association between wearable device-measured step count and 5-year MetS incidence
I ett samhälle med begränsade resurser eftersträvas naturligen effektivitet i brottmålsprocessen, exempelvis genom mindre resurskrävande brottsutredningar. Vid en lagändring 2015 lagfästes möjligheten till strafflindring för en gärningsperson som väljer att medverka vid utredningen av sitt eget brott. Strafflindring kan aktualiseras om gärningspersonen lämnar uppgifter som är av väsentlig betydelsIn a society with limited resources, efficiency is naturally sought in the criminal trial procedure, for example through less resource-intensive criminal investigations. The possibility for an offender to receive mitigation of a sentence by participating in the investigation of their own crime was introduced in Swedish law by an amendment of a law in 2015. Mitigation of a sentence can become relev
