High moisture content and low energy density make some of the biomass resources disadvantages in direct energy production. In this thesis, the main aims to reduce the disadvantages of both sources and obtain fuel with different structural/physical properties by hydrothermal
This is a detailed guide on the principles of cognitive therapy as they are applied to problems of emotion (anxiety, sadness, anger), skill (assertiveness, problem-solving), and general confidence in children and adolescents. The title is slightly misleading in the sense that there is little in the book that specifically relates to how this treatment would be applied in school settings by school p
Introduction: Symptom distress and impaired psychological well-being after liver transplantation may lead to limitations in everyday activities and lowered health-related quality of life. The aim of this nationwide, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was to explore self-reported symptom occurrence and distress, among Danish liver transplant recipients, and their association with self-reported
Aims Ticagrelor is associated with a lower risk of ischemic events than clopidogrel. However, it is uncertain whether the benefits of more intensive anti-ischemic therapy outweigh the risks of major bleeding in patients who have a high bleeding risk (HBR). Therefore, this study compared ticagrelor and clopidogrel in myocardial infarction (MI) patients with HBR. Methods and results This study inclu

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Klimatet i region Sahel varierar på en årlig och decennielång basis. Under slutet av 1900-talet har den utsätts för en period av markant torka. Mellan 1960 och 1990 nådde nederbörden nivåer av bara 40 % av genomsnittet. På grund av detta skattas perioden en av de makantaste klimatiska fenomen i hela världen under 1900-talet. Torkan har orsakat stora konsekvenser The Sahel is a region of large interannual and interdecadal climatic variability. In the late 20th century it experienced a period of pronounced drought that lasted from the late 1960 to the early 1990s, where precipitation values reached only about 40% of the long-term mean. This is why this period counts among one of the most striking climatic phenomena worldwide in the 20th century. The consequ

Den svenska jämställdhetspolitiken utgår från ett övergripande mål om att kvinnor och män ska ha samma möjligheter att forma både sitt eget liv och samhället. Målet bygger på en tanke om att det existerar ett strukturellt och ojämlikt maktförhållande mellan män och kvinnor. Det övergripande jämställdhetspolitiska målet anknyter på så sätt till Yvonne Hirdmans teori om genussystemet och den underorThe gender equality policy in Sweden is based on a main objective of equal opportunities for both men and women to shape their lives as well as the society. The objective is founded on an idea that there exists an unequal relationship of power between women and men. Therefore, the objective also relates to Yvonne Hirdmans theory on the gender system and the subordination of women that follows from

All buildings need a foundation that supports the structure. Since a layer of soil is most often in between a structure and the bedrock, a soil-structure interaction between the foundation and the soil beneath occurs. This interaction is of great importance when it comes to predicting the sectional forces that will arise in a structure, along with the settlement that occurs. Therefore the need to
Using methods of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) an N -body simulation was set-up to investigate stellar encounters between a 1 solar-mass main sequence (MS) star, modeled after the Sun, and a 0.6 solar-mass white dwarf (WD). This was done primarily to investigate the assumptions made by Mastrobuono-Battisti et al. (2021) in search of the impact of stellar encounters on stellar population in
Turkey, the country of failed and "successful" military coups, experienced the latest coup attempt on July 15, 2016, in which it is still unclear how, why, and by whom it originated. However, after this critical event, Turkish media and critical journalists were subjected to very strict censorship and repression. Hundreds of journalists were arrested for their views, and many had to flee
Under de senaste åren har en rad plattformsföretag etablerat sig inom olika sektorer av samhället och vid det här laget är de flesta människor bekanta med företag som Foodora och Uber. Uppkomsten och den starka etableringen av gig-ekonomin har skapat en hel del oklarheter vad gäller arbetsrättsliga frågor. Gig-ekonomin bygger på en treparts-relation mellan tjänsteleverantören, användaren/kunden ocIn recent years, a number of platform companies have established themselves in various sectors of society and by now most people are familiar with companies such as Foodora and Uber. The rise and the big establishment of the gig economy has created a lot of uncertainty regarding labor law issues.

Idrottsrörelsen och dess organisation är speciell. Den åtnjuter en stark autonomi i förhållande till det allmänna och har i högre grad än andra icke-statliga system stora likheter med nationella rättssystem avseende bl.a. reglernas omfattning. Samtidigt erhåller den stora resurser från det allmänna för att kunna bedriva rörelsen. Medlemmarna i en idrottsförening binds på avtalsrättslig grund av hiThe sports movement and its system are special. The movement enjoys a strong autonomy relative to the rest of society and it is more similar to public legal systems than other non-state systems in regard to the extent of its rules. At the same time, it receives large appropriations from the public in order to be able to maintain a functioning system. The members of a sports association are legally
Skiljeförfarande är en alternativ tvistlösningsform i förhållande till tvistemålsprocessen i allmän domstol. Det är ett statligt sanktionerat alternativ i och med att vissa speciella rättsverkningar är knutna till skiljeavtal. Först och främst har skiljeavtal verkan av rättegångshinder efter invändning av part. En part har också möjligheten att framtvinga fullgörelse av skiljeavtalet och det finnsArbitration is a form of ADR, which is sanctioned by the legal system. Entering into an arbitration agreement is given three special legal effects. Firstly, the arbitration agreement functions as a procedural impediment after a plea of inadmissibility from a party. Secondly, a party can force performance under the agreement and there are rules that aim to prevent obstruction of the procedure. Last
