PurposeAdvanced wastewater treatment (AWT) methods, such as the use of ozone (O3) and granular activated carbon (GAC), have been shown to mitigate toxic impacts on receiving waters. However, life cycle assessments (LCAs) on AWT technologies commonly evaluate toxicity through chemical analysis and conclude that the increased toxicity caused by operational inputs exceeds the reduction in toxicity vi
The need for affordable housing requires more compact living. With the increasing frequency and impact of climate change incidents, a new way of thinking is needed to live in a more resilient and climate responsive way. The idea of a Z free home began by considering these two needs. As a tiny mobile house equipped with passive and eco-cycle systems, it achieves 9 zero targets. This paper evaluates
Smoothing stones from Sami contexts in the 18th and 19th centuries. Smoothing stones of green stone/field stone are sometimes found in both Sámi and non-Sámi contexts from the Iron age and the Medieval period. Usually they are associated with leather or textile production. This paper discusses the findings of natural smoothing stones at three Sámi dwellings in Hälsingland and Gästrikland, central
In the present era of evolving gene-based therapies for inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs), it has become increasingly important to verify the genotype in every case, to identify all subjects eligible for treatment. Moreover, combined insight concerning phenotypes and genotypes is crucial for improved understanding of thevisual impairment, prognosis, and inheritance. The objective of this study
Background: Cervical cancer is preventable through screening and vaccination against high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV). For a screening program to be successful it is vital that the clinical management and follow-up regime of patients with abnormal screening results is well developed and that the attendance rate for follow-up is high. The aim of the study was to analyze how effective conizat
Wind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas. Ventifacts are recorded on at least two different stratigraphic levels, at some sites atop glaciofluvial sediment, at other sites atop littoral deposits, and in some places at both levels, while aeolian sand usually forms a surfic
Objective: A few studies have suggested that patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) who remain persistent with subcutaneous TNF-α inhibitors (SC-TNFi) incur lower health care costs than patients who discontinue treatment, whereas data on the impact of non-persistence on indirect costs are largely lacking. Furthermore, existing estimates are based on fixed follow-ups, in relation to treatment in
Background: Poor survival rates in different cancer types are sometimes blamed on diagnostic and treatment delays, and it has been suggested that such delays might be related to sociodemographic factors such as education and ethnicity. We examined associations of the wait time from diagnosis to surgery and survival in endometrial cancer (EC) and explored patient and tumour factors influencing the
Huvudregeln för påföljdsvalet i det svenska påföljdssystemet är att rätten ska fästa särskilt avseende vid omständigheter som talar för en lindrigare påföljd än fängelse. Fängelse är påföljdssystemet strängaste påföljd och skall väljas i sista hand. Som skäl för fängelse får domstolen enligt 30 kap. 4 § 2 st. beakta tre skäl: brottets straffvärde, brottets art och den tilltalades tidigare brottsli
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur en förändring av det solidariska ansvaret för ungdomar hade överensstämt med skadeståndets övergripande funktioner. Anledningen till denna utredning är att Kronofogdemyndigheten och Barnombudsmannen påtalat att ungdomar i omfattande utsträckning drabbas negativt av att åläggas solidariskt skadeståndsansvar, och att en förändring av det solidariska ansvare
