Mundelsskadefrekvensen hos Fjädermygglarver har i tidigare studier används som bioindikator på sjöars eller vattendrags exponering för miljögifter. På uppdrag av Skellefteå kommun utfördes sommaren 2014 en undersökning av frekvensen mundelsskador hos Fjädermygglarver i Skellefteälven. Syftet med undersökningen är att få en inblick i hur exponerade Fjädermygglarver i dagsläget är för miljögifter i Larvae from the non-biting midge family Chironomidae have previously been demonstrated to be sensitive to environmental pollution in aquatic environments. Exposure to different contaminants has resulted in an increasing occurrence of deformities of the mouthparts in the larvae. Common pollutions which induce mouthpart deformitys are metals (such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Hg, Cr, Ni), pesticides and some

Hästgödsel – framtidens energiresurs Antalet hästar i Sverige ökar varje år och därmed även mängden gödsel. Hanteringen av hästgödsel är idag ett stort problem då stallarna ofta ligger i tätort eller tätortsnära landsbygd utan tillgänglig areal för gödselspridning. Detta skapar problem för hästägare som får betala flera tusen kronor per år och häst för att bli av med gödseln. Hästar har en stor Horses have a great social, cultural and economic importance in society and contribute to the open landscape. There are currently more than 360,000 horses in Sweden, which together produce over 2.7 million tons of manure per year. This represents 10% of the total amount of manure from all livestock in the country. Most horses are found in urban or near-urban rural areas, which means that there is

De svenska reglerna om principalansvar trädde i kraft 1972, när en ny skadeståndslag antogs av Riksdagen. Innan denna tidpunkt hade regler om principalansvar utvecklats i rättspraxis, men omfattningen av detta ansvar hade varit väldigt begränsad. I de flesta fall hade en arbetsgivare inte kunnat hållas ansvarig för de skador som hans anställda vållat i tjänsten. När regler om principalansvar intoThe Swedish regulation of vicarious liability entered into force in 1972, when a new Liability for Damages Act was passed by the parliament. Prior to this point in time, a concept of vicarious liability had developed in Swedish case law, but the scope of such liability had been very limited. In most cases, an employer would not have been held responsible for tortious acts caused by his employees i

Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is a way of constructing roads with less climate impact. However, the RAP often contain moisture which is known to be disadvantageous for the final product and will at the same time increase the production cost. A manufacturing method that also aims have less impact on the environment is NCC Green Asphalt. The method allows a lower manufacturing temperature than a c

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to fill the research gap as previous research on the topic of interest lacks a country specific research on how culture effects standardization vs. adaptation by MNCs in emergent markets, in context to a specific advertising strategy. By providing a unique cross-cultural study on five different emergent markets (China, Pakistan, Mexico, Turkey and CWAR) the re

Förevarande uppsats behandlar de argument och ställningstaganden som ligger bakom lagstiftarens beslut beträffande assisterad befruktning i allmänhet, och surrogatmoderskap i synnerhet. Den alternativa familjebildningen och den assisterade befruktningens historia går långt tillbaka i tiden, men började på allvar regleras på 1980-talet, då inseminationsutredningen grundligt utredde frågan. VariatThe thesis at hand deals with the arguments and positions underlying the legislators decisions concerning Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in general, and surrogate motherhood in particular. The history of alternative ways to start a family, and ART goes far back. However, it only really began to be the subject of regulation in the 1980s, when the government issued an investigation, to thoro

Over the last 40 years, the concept of resilience has made a journey from the fields of ecology and psychology into the social sciences. By now, it has become a term commonly used in the international climate change adaptation and development spheres, describing the ability of an individual or a community to cope with or recover from harmful events. Critics have raised concerns about this spread,

When it comes to absorbing and emitting radiation, molecules show similar properties as atoms do. A signicant dierence though, is that a molecular spectrum consists of notably more absorption lines compared to an atomic spectrum. The additional lines appear due to the fact that molecules can not only exist in electronic, but also in vibrational and rotational energy states. Each gas has uniquely d

Vid en skilsmässa är det ofta osäkert och oklart hur parterna ska göra med boende fram till dess bodelning sker. I många fall flyttar ena maken från den gemensamma bostaden och den andra bor kvar. Maken som flyttar har vanligtvis kostnader för det nya boendet samtidigt som denne måste fortsätta betala de löpande kostnaderna för det gamla, gemensamma boendet. Frågan som uppkommer är då om den kvarbAt a divorce there is often a level of uncertainty to how the parties are going to structure their living situation until the estate division. Most commonly, one spouse moves from the shared accommodation while the other one stays. The moving spouse usually has costs for the new accommodation and is also often required to pay for the old, common place. The upcoming question is if the staying spous

More than 70% of the population in Ethiopia lack access to electricity and thus rely on traditional sources of energy such as biomass that is associated with negative consequences on health and the environment. Decentralized community-based micro-hydropower plants (MHPs) are being utilized as effective means to transition to modern low-carbon energy systems providing access to electricity to commu

Kan sorkar med mutationer slippa undan infektioner? Sjukdomar är ett av de största hoten som alla levande varelser kan utsättas för. Lyckligtvis har alla djur ett immunförsvar som försöker bekämpa dessa sjukdomar. Detta försvar består av många komponenter vars ritningar finns nedskrivna i DNA. Mutationer, som förändrar DNA, kan leda till olika variationer av en gen, och olika varianter kan påverk

En ny anställningsform som växt fram i digitaliseringens fotspår är arbete som utförs via digitala plattformar. Plattformsarbete är en del av en större pågående strukturell förändring, nämligen flexibiliseringen av arbetsmarknaden. Denna strukturella förändring gör att den nuvarande gränsen mellan arbetstagare och uppdragstagare suddas ut. Begreppet arbetstagare anger gränserna för arbetslagstiftnWork supplied through digital platforms is a new form of employment that has emerged in the course of digitalization. Platform work is part of a bigger ongoing structural shift, namely the flexibilisation of working life. This structural shift blurs out the distinction between an employee and a self-employed worker. The personal scope of Swedish labor law is defined by use of the notion of employe

Most of the increase in world electricity demand until 2030 is expected to come from developing countries (IRENA, 2016) and transition to carbon free energy production technologies offers the opportunity to reduce the negative effects of this increase. With majority of the low and middle income countries located in the areas of favourable solar radiation, PV technology is likely to become a key so

Grundämnena, som bygger upp komplexa molekyler som vårt DNA, är samma material som stjärnor består av. Faktum är att vi människor består till 93 % av så kallat sjärnstoft, eller sjärndamm. De simplaste ämnena, väte och helium, skapades i Big Bang, för ungefär 13,7 miljarder år sedan. De resterande 90 ämnena i periodiska systemet bildas i olika typer av stjärnor och i detta arbete har jag tagit fraPurpose: The purpose of this work is to determine the abundances of neutron-capture elements in solar neighborhood giant stars. This enables constraints to be put on the the cosmic origin of these elements. I have determined abundances of elements produced in both the weak s-process (Cu), the first and second s-process peaks (Y, Zr and La, Ce, Pr, Nd, respectively) and the r-process (Eu, Gd). The

This thesis aims to determine whether there is a human right to education in mother tongue for national minorities in international as well as regional human rights law. Its goal is to contribute to the existing research by evaluating and assessing the available treaties as well as non-binding documents issued by United Nations, Council of Europe and Organization for Security and Co-operation in E

Under Covid-19 pandemin, blev hela värden allvarligt påminda om hur livsviktiga våra lungor är. Under intensivvård övervakas lungorna noga för att snabbt och effektivt kunna åtgärda problem som kan uppstå. De nuvarande metoderna för att diagnostisera kollapsade lungor inkluderar röntgenstrålning. En effektiv metod, men som har några stora nackdelar. Röntgen ger bara en momentan bild av lungtillståThe optical technique, Gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) shows promise in application to address current challenges in lung monitoring during intensive care, improving respiratory care by allowing for continuous, non-invasive monitoring. While the technique is already developed in neonatal infant care, the patient profile can be expanded by using higher powered laser systems

Since 2000, the EU has faced significant economic challenges linked to both the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. These challenges triggered the need for urgent intervention on both national and EU levels, which prompted rapid responses from the European Commission. This thesis explores the relationship between EU state aid law and the crisis respon
