Augustenborg is suburb city in Malmö south of Sweden. The climate is temperate with occasional snow during the winter. Open storm water is applied in Augustenborg since late 1990s and the storm water is disconnected from the combined sewer system in order to give the area a lift up value and to solve the flooding problems in basements after heavy rainfall events. The new open system consists of po

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a rare but highly contagious and lethal disease that occurs predominantly in African countries, with a case-fatality rate of 30–90%. The causative viral pathogens of EVD are within the genus Ebolavirus in the family Filoviridae. The primary route of human-to-human transmission is through direct contact with blood, bodily fluids and secretions from infected individuals.

Pancreatic cancer is a challenging disease due to the low resection rate at the time of initial diagnosis. A relatively new classification of marginally resectable pancreatic cancer has emerged and there is some evidence that this subgroup of patients may benefit from neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy. The first major definition of marginally resectable pancreatic cancer was made at M. D. Anderson Can

Slagkäglor är konformade makro- megastrukturer med strieringar som divergerar från konens spets. De har endast observerats i nedslagsstrukturer, meteoriter och explosionskratrar, och är på jorden därför nästan unika för nedslagsstrukturer. På grund av detta kan slagkäglor användas för att identifiera nedslagsstrukturer samt ge kvantitativa data om dessa nedslagsstrukturer. Dock kan slagkäglor vara

Surface temperature in internal combustion engines is of high interest when studying heat losses. Two approaches for retrieving the surface temperatures are thermocouples and Laser Induced Phosphorescence, LIP. This study aims to analyze LIP as a technique for measuring surface temperature in internal combustion engines. The motivation for this study is the need for accurate surface temperatures w

Lymphocytic infiltration of different exocrine and non-exocrine epithelia is the pathological hallmark of primary Sjogren's syndrome, whereas involvement of salivary and lachrymal glands with the clinical counterpart of dry eye and dry mouth are the predominant features of the disease, together with fatigue and musculoskeletal pain. In addition, systemic manifestations, like arthritis, skin vascul

Popular Abstract in Swedish De senetruskiska votivhuvudena i terrakotta (bränd lera) från Tessennano på Medelhavsmuseet i Stockholm hittades 1956 i anslutning till en lantlig helgedom, ungefär tio mil norr om Rom, Italien. Att de är votivgåvor innebär att de skänktes av tillbedjare som representationer av dem själva inför gudomen eller gudomarna. Avhandlingen diskuterar emellertid inte de religiösThe Late etruscan terracotta votive heads from Tessennano were found near a rural sanctuary about a hundred km to the North of Rome in 1956. Whereas the facial fronts are serially produced with moulds, the backs are handmade. By using not only the moulded and the handmade features but the raw material (clay and temper) as well, it has been possible to make suggestions as to how, when and where the

Today, several cities stand before the challenge to transform and redevelop discontinued industrial areas that many times occupies a central part of the locality. The adaptation to these policies is among others a result of attempts to embrace and promote sustainable development, as the transformation of brownfield sites can with the right conditions and strategies provide positive change on the e

Varje år sker det tusentals olyckor i trafiken i Sverige till följd av det stora transportbehovet i samhället. Transportstyrelsen har ett mål, Nollvisionen, som innebär att ingen ska dödas eller skadas allvarligt i trafiken. För att nå målet är en åtgärd att hastigheten sänks där gång- och cykeltrafik behöver interagera med motorfordon. Det kan man göra i form av sidoförskjutningar, avsmalning av Every year, thousands of traffic accidents occur in Sweden as a result of the transportation need in society. The Swedish Transport Agency has a goal, Vision Zero, which means that no one should die or be severely injured in traffic. To reach the goal one measure is to reduce the speed where pedestrians and cyclists need to interact with motor vehicles. This can be done by chicanes, narrowing of t

Drinking water is the most important part of our food that we need in everyday life. It is estimated that over one million permanent residents and nearly as many second homes in Sweden uses its own well as the only source of drinking water supply. For example we can point to Landskrona municipality in the south of Sweden where there are about one thousand households that use their drinking water f
