This report is a study of the impacts of extreme sea levels and waves on the coastal area of the bay of Lundåkra. The bay is characterized by shallow sea bottoms and a flat topography, particularly in the north. Analyses have been based on historical data. To expand the analyses to apply for a future scenario a change in mean sea level has been considered. Based on general recommendations from the

Offentliga upphandlingar utgör en stor del av de svenska och europeiska marknaderna och har sedan länge varit föremål för reglering som bland annat ska minska risken för korruption och säkerställa ett effektivt utnyttjande av offentliga medel. Sedan Sveriges tillträde i Europeiska ekonomiska samarbetsområdet 1992 har upphandlingsreglerna utgått från dem som framarbetats av Europeiska unionen. Det

Uppsatsen utreder vad som rättsligt gäller för myndigheters datorprogram och om den nuvarande gällande rätten är tillfredsställande. Datorprogram är i lagens mening en offentlig handling och omfattas därmed av offentlighetsprincipen. Offentlighetsprincipen är en viktig svensk princip som syftar till att ge medborgarna insyn i den offentliga förvaltningen. Allmänheten har därför rätt att ta del av

Den svenska sexköpslagstiftningen är kontroversiell och har kritiserats för att sakna tydliga skyddsintressen och uppvisa bristande effektivitet. Även om lagstiftningen lett till minskad efterfrågan av sexuella tjänster i Sverige, kommer lagstiftningen inte åt de som istället köper sex utomlands i stater utan motsvarande lagstiftning. Kravet på dubbel straffbarhet hindrar lagföring i svensk domsto

Konsumentens ställning i avtalsförhållande har försvagats efter HD:s avgörande NJA 2017 s. 113. Detta då ett avtalsvillkor som innebar en begränsning av näringsidkarens skadeståndsskyldighet ansågs fortsatt gällande i avtalet. Möjligheten för en avtalspart att begränsa sin skadeståndsskyldighet vid kontraktsbrott är mycket attraktiv. Då svensk rätt utgår från principen om avtalsfrihet är det möjli

Inom den Europeiska unionen har ett samarbete instiftats avseende överlämning av individer som är misstänka för brott eller för verkställighet av ett frihetsberövande straff. Institutet benämns som en europeisk arresteringsorder och har införts för att individer inte ska undgå straff och för att effektivisera överlämningsprocessen. Framställningen granskar kritiskt om svenska domstolar beaktar dThe European Arrest Warrant, EAW, is an instrument for cooperation between the member states of the European Union, regulating the surrender of individuals from one member state to another for criminal prosecution or enforcement of a penal sentence. It’s purposes are to prevent individuals from evading penal sentences or prosecution by using the free movement and to offer a high level of security

The significant increase in the use of CT, alone or combined with SPECT or PET, has raised concerns about patient radiation exposure and the consequent increased risk of malignancy later in life. The overall objective of this work was to evaluate and optimise different approaches for minimising patient radiation absorbed dose and maintaining or improving image quality in CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/CT.

This thesis addressed the diagnosis, pathogenesis and clinical course of specific renal diseases hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and dense deposit disease (DDD). HUS may be associated with infection caused by Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) or with complement dysfunction due to complement mutations or auto-antibodies (atypical HUS, aHUS). EHEC is a non-invasive highly virulent bacterium

Background: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. Only about 6% of patients are alive 5 years after diagnosis. One reason for this low survival rate is that most patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when the tumor has spread to surrounding tissues or distant organs. Less than 20% of cases are diagnosed at an early stage that allows them to undergo potentially cu

Hereditary breast cancer constitutes a considerable fraction of the total number of breast cancer cases occurring each year. Up until recently very few breast cancer predisposing genes were known, but many new common polymorphisms contributing to increased cancer susceptibility are continuously being identified. This thesis has focused on familial breast cancer and identifying as well as investi

The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate healthcare utilisation patterns and to explore the effects of a case management intervention for frail older people on healthcare utilisation and costs in relation to utility. A further aim was to explore the older people’s and case managers’ experiences of the intervention. Study I was a quantitative study comprising ten age cohorts aged between 6

The aim of this dissertation is to show some cryptanalytical results on a selection of stream ciphers. We have grouped theory and results into three main parts. The first part focuses on the FCSR-based constructions X-FCSR and F-FCSR-H v3. For the X-FCSR family of stream ciphers we perform a severe state recovery attack. This attack works for both X-FCSR-128 and X-FCSR-256. We then develop a gen

The transition from normal into malignant cells with acquired uncontrolled growth is a process where cancer cells viciously develop adaptive strategies to overcome microenvironmental and metabolic stress. Hypoxia, or deficient oxygen supply, is a common feature of the expanding tumor which alters cell metabolism and consecutively causes lowered intracellular pH. To alleviate hypoxic and acidotic s

Risk assessment of suicidal behaviour is one of the most important tasks in clinical psychiatry and a major determinant of subsequent care and treatment selections. To date, suicide risk assessment is based solely on clinical evaluations, which inevitably leads to subjective interpretations and decisions by the psychiatrist. In order to find more robust instruments in the evaluation of suicidality

Multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation programmes are found decreasing pain and improve back-to-work rates. There is, however, a lack of knowledge in several respects. The overall aim of this thesis was to study outcomes in terms of occupational performance, satisfaction with performance, psychosocial functioning, disability, and coping profiles at a one-year follow-up after a musculoskeletal pain

Forests are critical carbon sinks that mitigate anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, a primary driver of climate change. However, the impact that forest management methods have on the ecosystem carbon exchange is under debate and the potential carbon sink strength of forests is still uncertain. In this study, annual net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and forest age data from rotation forests (RFs

I denna uppsats beskrivs en lagändring som skedde 1863 som resulterade i att judar fick rätt att gifta sig med kristna i Sverige. Syftet med uppsatsen är att förstå den bakomliggande kontexten och att sätta lagstiftningsprocessen i ett sammanhang för att därefter jämföra denna med samma process i Danmark. På detta sätt undersöks vilka likheter och vilka skillnader som funnits mellan länderna. För

The present study deals with natural killer (NK) T cells restricted to the antigen presenting molecule CD1d. NKT cells have been suggested to play a role in many diverse immunological situations such as clearance of different pathogens, protection against certain tumors, regulation of autoimmune reactions and as a link between innate and adaptive immune responses. NKT cells are in many respects un
