The skin presents various important functions to the organism. The maintenance of its integrity is fundamental, among others, to prevent penetration of microorganisms and exit of liquids essential to life maintenance. Due to its constant environment exposure, the skin is highly susceptible to trauma which can result solutions of continuity. The healing of wounded skin should be fast and many alter
Prediction of analyte retention times requires prior knowledge of the column void volume, the measurement of which is still highly contested within the literature and therefore experimental based prediction is often used. In this study, we investigated deuterated acetonitrile as an isotopically labelled mobile phase component to observe its elution behaviour in a binary mixture with water at 25 di
Thickened flame (TF) model is one of the effective methods to resolve the flame front in turbulent premixed combustion modeling. The multi-step reaction mechanism is becoming increasingly important for combustion simulations such as pollutant formation, ignition and extinction. The effect of TF model on flame structures when coupling with multi-step reaction mechanism was investigated. The simulat
Periodontal disease, periodontitis as well as the preceding gingivitis, has been associated with both obesity and diabetes. Studies have shown that diet changes can lead to a lower incidence of such inflammation. The aim of the present case series over four weeks was to study the effects on medical and dental conditions in patients with type 2 diabetes of the consumption of the Okinawan-based Nord
During the past one and a half decades ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) has grown to become a mature technique for the real-time investigation of both solid and liquid surfaces in the presence of a gas or vapour phase. APXPS has been or is being implemented at most major synchrotron radiation facilities and in quite a large number of home laboratories. While most APXPS ins
This study investigates 30 lone actors in Sweden with a register-based design using a group of male lone actors and two reference groups: same-sex siblings and other male violent extremists. We compare lone actors to the reference groups along social background, criminal background, and co-offending relations (1995 –2016), and mental health (1980–2016). Our results show that lone actors are primar
Robot skills systems are meant to reduce robot setup time for new manufacturing tasks. Yet, for dexterous, contact-rich tasks, it is often difficult to find the right skill parameters. One strategy is to learn these parameters by allowing the robot system to learn directly on the task. For a learning problem, a robot operator can typically specify the type and range of values of the parameters. Ne
Objective: To investigate whether pT1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) should be followed differently after partial (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) based on a retrospective analysis of a multicentre database (RECUR). Subjects: A retrospective study was conducted in 3380 patients treated for nonmetastatic RCC between January 2006 and December 2011 across 15 centres from 10 countries, as part of the RECU
The fast-growing market of electric bikes (e-bikes) has introduced a paradigm shift in mobility with a promise to enhance the sustainability agenda. An in-depth understanding of transport quality of service (QOS) from the e-bike rider’s perspective is a promising approach to sustain the role of the e-bike in mobility. Level of service (LOS) is a method by which to quantify QOS for different transp
PURPOSE: To derive Regional Diagnostic Reference Levels (RDRL) for paediatric conventional and CT examinations using weight-based DRL curves and compare the outcome with DRL derived using the weight groups.METHODS: Data from 1722 examinations performed at 29 hospitals in four countries were included. DRL was derived for four conventional x-ray (chest, abdomen, pelvis, hips/joints) and two types of
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka de undantag till statschefers immunitetsskydd som har uppkommit i nationell praxis. Vidare sker en jämförelse med den praxis som kommit från de internationella domstolarna. Den centrala frågan är hur de nationella domstolarna argumenterar för att göra avsteg från immunitetsskyddet. Då reglerna om Jus cogens även har stor påverkan på frågan så kommer även dess saThe paper aims to examine the exemptions to the Heads of State immunity protection that have arisen in practice. Furthermore, a comparison with the practice from the international courts will be made. The central question is how the national courts argue on how to derogate from the immunity protection. Because the rules of Jus cogens also have a major impact on the issue so too will its connection
Tidigare forskning har visat att ett överlapp i kontext påverkar minnet. Vårt minne tenderar att vara bättre när miljön vi lär oss i liknar den miljö vi testas i. Vi har också en tendens att minnas liknande information som ett enhetligt minne, vilket kallas minnesintegraion. Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida ett överlapp i kontext skulle öka minnesintegrering. Studien genomfördes via Previous research has shown that context overlap affects memory. Our memory tends to be better when the learning environment is similar to the test environment. We also tend to integrate related information that has been experienced in different occasions into one unified memory, called memory integration. The aim of this study was to investigate if context overlaps helps to facilitate memory inte
This bachelor thesis is based on a fear of a growing consumption behavior where short lived life cycles of products are causing negative affects on our attempts of building long and healthy relationships to products. The work is also based on a hope of designing products that people are able to appreciate over long period of time. What is it that makes people value and appreciate desig
Alpha decay spectroscopy using the latest and most sensitive detector setup as well as fast sampling read-out electronics has become very important for discovery and analysis of short-lived nuclei created in collision experiments in the laboratory. The Nuclear Structure Group in Lund is currently developing the Lundium Decay Station for use in comprehensive nuclear spectroscopy of decays for rare

Enriching Urban Cityscape for Children and Youth through Scandinavian (Swedish and Danish) child methodology on the old European planning model. In this model, traffic management has the most potential in planning. For the study Dhanmondi, the site planned during the British Empire, was chosen within the capital city Dhaka, Ban

Title: Striving for Contextual Ambidexterity: A Case Study Researching How an Organisation Can Manage the Tensions Brought About by the Strive to Simultaneously Exploit and Explore Date of the seminar: 18.05.2016 Course: ENTN39 Master´s Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and degree project (Master´s thesis 15 ECTS) Author: Alexander Danson and Carl Axel Kierulf Supervisor: Jo
The increased human dependence on fossil-based fuels, industrial chemicals, and structural materials has caused a drastic increase in atmospheric CO2 levels during the past 50 years. Consequences of this have been observed in the disruption of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bioengineering of photosynthetic organisms capable of converting CO2 into biomass and value-added organic molecules prov
The long-distance migration that some animals accomplish can be truly astonishing. It can be observed in several different groups of animals with some of the most famous examples being sea turtles, birds, salmon and the Monarch butterfly. How these animals manage to navigate over distances sometimes as long as 10000 km nobody knows for sure. There is evidence of some animal’s ability to navigate u
