Öresund is a very dynamic economic area with numerous projects, there is a great need of a deeper understanding of the wave climate. The wave measurements currently available are scarce and they do not cover the whole area. For this reason, a modeled wave climate would be of interest and the results could be a starting point for different in depth analysis. The objective of this study was to prod

Popular science summary: One of the greatest challenges in studying animal behavior is to understand it from the animal’s perspective. We will never know exactly how they look at or think about the world, but we can infer a lot from giving them signals and seeing their responses. In evolutionary biology, we are trying to find out what forces drove change in a specific direction. The “force” or s

Climate change and disasters are among today’s most pressing issues. The damage caused by the world-wide increase in disasters is staggering, with the urban poor being most at risk. Disasters make their al-ready precarious living conditions worse, creating a vicious circle of poverty. More and more attention has thus been given to the need to address changing climatic conditions and disaster risk

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ekokardiografisk undersökning av hjärtat utvecklades i Lund i början av 1950 talet av kardiologen Inge Edler tillsammans med fysikern Helmuth Hertz och har under de första 30 åren huvudsakligen utförts via bröstkorgsväggen så kallat transthorakalt ultraljud. Under 1980 talet utvecklades tekniken och man fick instrument som via matstrupen kunde utföra en ekokardiografiskThe subject of this thesis is the clinical use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with stroke or atrial fibrillation. Subjects were examined with echocardiography and sonography of the carotid artery. A control group of randomly selected volunteers without cerebrovascular disease was compared to patients with ischemic stroke. Cardiac pathology was classified as minor potential e

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns ett starkt samband mellan en förenings struktur och dess egenskaper. En detaljerad tredimensionell bild av en förenings struktur på molekylnivå är därför grundläggande information för att förstå dess reaktivitet, stabilitet och fysikaliska egenskaper. Röntgenkristallografi är ett utmärkt redskap för att ta reda på ett ämnes struktur i en kristall. En kristallsThis thesis focuses on i) the effect of packing on the molecular geometry ii) packing arrangements of neutral Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes iii) the trans influence in Pt(II) complexes iv) the differences in bonding in corresponding Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes and v) the geometry of Pd(II) complexes with potential catalytic properties. Detailed three-dimensional structural information at the atomic

The acoustic emission that is detectable in the forming of complex thin part plates contains information about the quality of the pressed plates. The information can be used as process control and to filter out advanced thin plates with defects such as cracks. The article describes the results obtained in a try-out pressing process in special developed punch-die pairs with different pressing

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the outcome and predisposing factors related to perioperative bleeding in patients treated with endovascular aneurysm repair (VAR) for ruptured and non-ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Methods: A total of 525 consecutive patients (73% elective) with AAA underwent EVAR at two vascular centres from 2008 t

Kuannersuit Glacier, a valley glacier on Disko Island in west Greenland, experienced a major surge from 1995 to 1998 where the glacier advanced 10.5 km and produced a similar to 65 m thick stacked sequence of debris-rich basal ice and meteoric glacier ice. The aim of this study is to describe the tectonic evolution of large englacial thrusts and the processes of basal ice formation using a multipr

We review the ecology and distributions of the chafers Liocola marmorata (F.), Gnorimus nobilis (L.) and Gnorimus variabilis (L.) in Sweden based on museum and several large private collections. These species live in hollow deciduous trees, in Sweden especially in oaks. The former and recently documented localities are shown on maps. More than 100 years ago, all the species as well as their habita

Introduction Aniridia (iris more or less missing), is a congenital, dominant, inherited, serious and sight-threatening disease, most often appearing as an isolated eye disorder. It is caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene, the master gene of the development of the eye. Typically, Aniridia causes severe visual impairment. In addition to glare caused by the iris defect, underdevelopment of the macula

Environmental problems are a discussed subject in the world. The reason for this is that natural disasters are becoming more and more visible. EU is working to reduce the Union's contribution to the greenhouse effect. The goal is to reduce greenhouse gases with 20% by 2020 and 20% of the energy used should come from renewable energy sources. The EU’s Energy Performance of Building Directive (E

Although direct taxation falls under the sovereignty of each individual Member State, that sovereignty must be practiced with respect for community legislation and the EC Treaty. National legislation that in any way hinders the freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty or discourages nationals of a Member State to practice those freedoms is infringing the EC Treaty and is not to be tolerated. The number o

In the globalised world there is a keen competition market prevailing, which request higher demands on the entrepreneurs within the building sector. Research shows that 30-35 % of the production costs on the building sites is waste, which means non-profit value for the costumer. This example shows both hidden and visible costs, which has been identified on building constructions sites. To reduce t

Throughout the world, harmful traditions to women are carried out within the family, e.g., female genital mutilation, forced marriage and dowry murder. Honour killing practice is considered to be the extreme form thereof for its violent consequences on females' right to life. The practice refers to crimes directed toward women on the ground of gender&semic crimes 'whereby the family ki

The aim of this thesis was to empirically and methodologically investigate health related quality of life (HRQoL) among persons 65 years or older with chronic heart failure. The design was cross-sectional and the sample was recruited from a southeast region of Sweden. The sample included 357 respondents in Paper I, II and IV and 349 respondents in Paper III. For all respondents the mean age was 79

With the attempts to achieve higher thermal efficiency, turbine blades are exposed to very high temperature gases and may undergo severe thermal stress and fatigue. Thus, in order to develop optimal cooling strategies and reduce the heat transfer it is important to obtain a good understanding of both the complex flow field and the heat transfer characteristics in turbine rotor/stator hot-gas passa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom politiska partier är kollektiva varor står potentiella partibildare inför det kollektiva handlandets problem. Därför kan vi tala om en "partibildningsparadox". Sålunda är det förvånande att icke riksdagsetablerade partier blev vanligare förekommande i svenska kommuner mellan 1973 och 2002. Utvecklingen ger oss ett unikt material på vilket vi kan pröva hypoteserSince political parties are collective goods, groups of people that demand new political parties face a collective action problem. Therefore, we can speak of a ?paradox of party-emergence?. Hence, it is puzzling that new parties became increasingly common in representative bodies at the Swedish local level during 1973?2002. This development provides a unique circumstance on which to test hypothese
