Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Översiktlig buller- och luftföroreningsinventering i Burlövs kommun ör 1994 med hjälp av geografiska informationssystem : möjligheter och begränsningar Det är framförallt två övergripande frågor som vi har försökt besvara med denna studien: Hur är situationen vad gäller väg- och tågtrafikinducerade buller- och luftföroreningar i Burlövs Kommun 1994 och hur mångaThe two main questions we aim to answer with this study are 1) what is the situation regarding trafficinduced noise and air pollution in the municipality of Burlöv 1994 and how many of the people living there are affected? 2) is the general method we chose, in combination with accessible data, suitable and sufficently precise to describe the environmental situation in the municipality? The studied

This thesis is inspired by the recent development within the Community concerning the standing of private parties to claims damages for harm caused by a breach of the EC antitrust rules. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) declared, in the cases of Courage and Manfredi, that this is a right deriving from the Treaty. In the wake of this change, the Commission has issued a Green Paper followed by a

På vilka värderingar och grundläggande teorier baserar sig vårt rättsystem och vad är lagens bindande kraft? Hur kan dessa teorier förklara klyftan mellan moraliska regler och lagregler? Denna uppsats består av tre delar. De två första delarna [Kap. 2 och 3] är mer deskriptiva och består dels av ett kapitel om illegal fildelning, dels av en analys av skandinavisk rättsrealism, framför allt VilhelThe general moral attitude is, to consider copyright infringements on the Internet as a socially acceptable behaviour. While the record industry and judicial system have both monetary and other reasons to fight illegal file sharing, both the technological and the moral development are combating these efforts. The legal realism as represented by Vilhelm Lundstedt is based on the idea that the lega

Yttrium-90 is a pure β-emitting radionuclide with a high energy (Emax = 2.28 MeV) and a short half-life (T½ = 64.1 h). It has shown to be a promising isotope to use in radio-immunotherapy. In the absence of direct photon emission scintillation camera imaging can be obtained by acquiring events from bremsstrahlung photons created at or near the decay site of the radionuclide. It is, however, not ev

On the basis of existing detailed kinetic schemes a general and consistent mechanism of the oxidation of hydrocarbons and the formation of higher hydrocarbons was compiled for computational studies covering the characteristic properties of a wide range of combustion processes. Computed ignition delay times of hydrocarbon -oxygen mixtures (CH4-, C2H6-, C3H8-, n-C4H10-, CH4 + C2H6-, C2H4, C3H6-O-2)

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige har andelen förtidspensionärer ökat under lång tid och uppgick år 1998 till 7.6% av befolkningen i arbetsför ålder (16-64 år). Den vanligaste orsaken till att en individ förtidspensioneras är reducerad arbetsförmåga till följd av problem i rörelseorganen. Kunskaperna om förtidspensionärers livskvalitet är bristfälliga. Syftet med denna studie var att studera lThe starting-point of this thesis was the high rate of disability pensioners in Sweden and the lack of knowledge about what a disability pension entails for quality of life (QL). The aim of the study was to gain knowledge about QL among disability retirees with musculoskeletal disorders (ERPs). A questionnaire was sent in 1992 to 450 ERPs in Kristianstad Municipality, Sweden, granted their disabil

Unlike the Quebec classification system, which is based primarily on pathoanatomy, a new Swedish classification system is based on the site of functional impairment and disability. A prospective study was performed on 85 patients with whiplash-associated disorders grade II according to the Quebec classification. The patients were examined 3-36 months following trauma. A team of professionals with

The thesis aims at supplementing a critique of the existing international instruments, regional responses and national legislation of the Arctic related to marine environmental protection. With this aim in view, the thesis satisfies its objective by proposing a Bipartite “Arctic Council” acting as a conglomeration of the Arctic States and the Flag States with a hybrid “Arctic treaty”, which is an

This study looks at potential contributions of the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC to eco-innovations addressing resource efficiency improvements of energy-related products. This aim is secondary to the prime objective of the Directive, the increase in energy efficiency of energy-related products. By conducting ten in-depth interviews, the study investigates whether and in what form the Directive,

Two large-scale randomized screening trials, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary (PLCO) cancer trial in the USA and the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial in Europe are currently under way, aimed at assessing whether screening reduces prostate cancer mortality. Up to the end of 1998, 102,691 men have been randomized to the intervention arm and 115,322 to the contr

Although the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone. There is currently no known investigation comparing fit results obtained from LCM fitting over the full complex data versus the real data and how these resulAlthough the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone.

With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside. While creating opportunities for rural living, it has also opened a discussion on rural gentrification risks. The concept of rural gentrification encircles the influx of new residents leading to an economic upgrade of an area making it unaffordable for local

Aim: To provide a comprehensive description of the clinical features, biochemical characteristics, and outcomes of infants up to 90 days old with COVID-19. Moreover, to assess the severity of the disease and propose an effective management pathway. Methods: Retrospective single-center study spanning three years. Patient data includes age, sex, symptoms, comorbidities, blood and urine test results,

OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence and predictive factors for celiac disease (CD) after a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents, to improve the current screening guidelines.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The association between sex, age at T1D diagnosis, HLA, and diabetes autoantibodies, and a diagnosis of CD was examined in 5,295 children with T1D from the Better Diabetes

Harp seals (Phoca groenlandicus), once present in the Baltic Sea, now stand extinct. During the Middle Neolithic period, they held significant dietary importance for the Pitted Ware Culture hunter-fisher-gatherers in Scandinavia. Because they are no longer available for ecological studies, little is known about their specific behavioural intricacies, such as diet, mobility, and reproductive strate

A compilation of the applied experimental conditions when studying metal ion adsorption onto kraft fibres, and the resulting conclusion, revealed that the ionic strength conditions used during the experiments were an important dividing factor. At low ionic strengths, the conclusion has regularly been that the Donnan ion-exchange model could correctly predict the adsorption while, at higher ionic s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gipsgjutning är ganska enkelt. Blanda gipset med vatten och rör runt lite. Häll därefter blandningen i en form om du vill ha en gipshund eller så, eller i en tallrik om du vill trycka av en kroppsdel. Om du vill ha en handavgjutning så tryck dit handen en stund och låt gipset stelna. Sedan är det klart. Bara den hand du gjutit av kommer att passa; var det högerhanden såMolecular imprinting is a technique by which polymeric materials selective for a given target molecule can be created through a casting procedure. Functionalised monomers are added to a solution of molecular templates. Monomer-template complexes are formed and subsequently fixed through polymerisation, and following removal of the template species from the resultant molecularly imprinted polymer,
