Failing to communicate current knowledge limitations, that is, epistemic uncertainty, in environmental risk assessment (ERA) may have severe consequences for decision making. Bayesian networks (BNs) have gained popularity in ERA, primarily because they can combine variables from different models and integrate data and expert judgment. This paper highlights potential gaps in the treatment of uncert

Development in building envelopes and energy efficient systems has an impact in reducing energy use, but the everyday life of the households significantly influences the total performance of the housing sector that in Sweden constitutes 25% of the total energy use. This paper presents and discusses some results of a study investigating the relationship between every-day life and energy use among t

In Europe, azacitidine is the only hypomethylating agent approved for the treatment of patients with int-2-/high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, offering significantly improved survival compared with conventional care. However, not all patients treated with azacitidine respond to treatment, and the vast majority of responders subsequently relapse. Currently, no standard care regimens have been est

Reseavdraget – Motverkar det politiska spelet incitament som kan förbättra miljön? Reseavdraget, att vara berättigad till att dra av en del av kostnaderna som uppkommer till följd av resor till och från arbetsplatsen på skatten, har förundrat mig under flera år. Är reseavdraget rättvist utformat, belönar det ett samhällsekonomiskt olönsamt val eller kan det skapa incitament för arbetspendlare attIncome Tax-deduction for commuting expenses has been criticised and discussed for a long time without having reached any conclusions or reformations. Critical opinions in the debate are that a reformation would disfavour taxpayers living in the countryside with no options except car commuting and decreasing size of labour market regions. At the same time tax evasion is a huge problem because taxpa

Efter HSVs utvärdering av CI- utbildningarna fick högskolorna ett tydligt uppdrag att vid uppföljningen redovisa hur hållbar utveckling kommer in i utbildningarna. I planeringsförutsättningarna för de 5-åriga civilingenjörsutbildningarna vid LTH finns kravet på examination av minst 6 hp inom området.

To study the influence of acidosis on free radical formation and lipid peroxidation in brain tissues, homogenates fortified with ferrous ions and, in some experiments, with ascorbic acid were equilibrated with 5–15% O2 at pH values of 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, and 5.0, with subsequent measurements of thiobarbituric acid-reactive (TBAR) material, as well as of water- and lipid-soluble antioxidants (glutathion

Obalansen mellan könen inom forskningen anses vara ett problem av många skäl, inte minst för att kvinnors talang inom forskning inte utnyttjas fullt ut. Den politiska styrningen har de senaste decennierna därför riktats mot att öka andelen kvinnliga professorer genom könsbalansmål för befordringar. Det finns goda skäl att tro att vad som händer i början av den akademiska karriären spelar roll för

The COVID-19 pandemic put a lot of strain on healthcare organizations. Nurses accountfor over 50% of healthcare staff, and how nurses perform in their work is influenced by a number ofhuman and work environmental factors. However, to our knowledge, there has not been a previousstudy with the intention to look at all areas that affect a sustainable working life and how theseimpact nurses’ mental we

Video Sharing Websites constitute a rather peculiar situation. On one hand, they are considered as part of what the Commission perceives as online sharing economy: users are eligible to derive income from monetizing their audiovisual content. On the other hand, their business model is reminiscent of what is described as “free -economy”: access to the audiovisual content is prima facie provided wit

Recent years has seen a growth of so-called ”Al-Qaeda franchises”, terrorist groups who formally ally with Al-Qaeda. This study investigates the phenomenon through how one such actor, the “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat” (GSPC), has developed after its alliance with Al-Qaeda in 2006 and rebranding as ”Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” (AQIM). By analyzing GSPC before and after the alliance

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledning I detta avhandlingsarbete studeras Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) och influensa virus ur olika perspektiv. Dessa två smittämnen orsakar båda årliga utbrott med luftvägsinfektioner som ibland blir omfattande epidemier. I båda fallen kan symptomen variera från lätta förkylningsbesvär till mycket svåra, ibland livshotande lunginflammationer. Infektion med MycoplasmaDiagnostic tests based on nucleic acid amplification have become available for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) and influenza viruses. Here, an MP PCR test detected 100% of infections during the first three symptomatic weeks, whereas classical serology detected 21% week 1, 56% week 2, and 100% week 3. Positive PCR results were uncommon in healthy individuals. Levels of MP DNA were significantly higher i

Om en varumärkesinnehavare har intresse av att upprätthålla registreringen av sitt varumärke måste detta användas på ett vis, vilket uppfyller det så kallade användningstvångets krav. Dessa krav är i huvudsak desamma oavsett om varumärkesanvändning bedöms mot bakgrund av EU:s varumärkesdirektiv eller EU:s varumärkesförordning. Syftet är att i denna uppsats ge läsaren insikt i hur en varumärkesinneIf a proprietor of a trade mark has an interest in maintaining the registration of its trade mark, the proprietor must use the trade mark in such a manner that it constitutes genuine use. It should be noted that the requirements of use are essentially the same regardless of whether the assessment of use is done in light of the EU trade mark directive or the EU regulation concerning Community trade
