Considerable amounts of water and chemicals are used in the textile industry, and the presence of dyes in the wastewater is a problem of environmental concern. Synthetic dyes are designed to resist light, water and chemicals to improve the quality of the textiles; however, these properties also contribute to their persistence in the environment. The existence of wastewater treatment plants in conn
Chiral building blocks are important molecules for synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Biocatalysis has gained in relevance over traditional organic methods for synthesis of chiral compounds, as reactions can be performed at high enantio-selectivity and purity with environmentally friendly, simple, and cheap methods. The aim of the present study was to explore the feasibility of using
The impact of olfactory and auditory cues on the mating behaviour in two species of moths, Agrotis segetum (Noctuidae) and Plodia interpunctella (Pyralidae), was investigated to evaluate their potential use in integrated pest management. The flight behaviour of male A. segetum under natural and pheromone-based mating disruption conditions was monitored by harmonic radar. Individual males were equi
The utilisation of energy in the form of biogas is one of the environmentally sound alternatives available using renewable energy sources. Biogas is formed by anaerobic degradation of organic material, the main consistuent being energy-rich methane. There is a large unused potential of organic waste that is suitable for biogas production and the anaerobic digestion process has the potential of bec
Different methods are proposed to assess the aerobic capacity. A novel scale, rating of perceived capacity (RPC) based on metabolic equivalents (METs) from 1 to 20, is presented. Selected MET values are linked to physical activities. Comparison of the rating with an exercise test in a group of women revealed that a correction based on age more accurately predicted the maximal exercise capacity. An
Mortality after severe head injury can be considerably reduce with a therapy using physiological principles for brain volume regulation and preserved microcirculation, with the main purpose of restricting the rise in ICP to reasonable levels simultaneously with preservation of adequate blood supply. This study shows that the ?Lund Concept? can reduce mortality in patients with severe traumatic bra
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease in Western countries. Diagnosis of NASH requires a liver biopsy. We estimated the prevalence of NASH non-invasively in a population-based study using scores validated against liver histology.
The observational relationship between obesity and periodontitis is widely known, yet causal evidence is lacking. Our objective was to investigate causal associations between periodontitis and body mass index (BMI).
Denna uppsats behandlar ingående hur officialprincipen tillämpas i de svenska migrationsdomstolarna. Uppsatsen tar, efter en kort introduktion till migrations- processen i Sverige, avstamp i en förvaltningsprocessuell diskussion kring vad som omfattas av en förvaltningsdomstols utredningsskyldighet. Olika faktorer som påverkar utredningsskyldigheten tas upp. Därefter övergår uppsatsens fokus till
När åtal mer eller mindre enbart vilar på målsägandens utsaga, vilket är vanligt vid våldtäktsfall där bevisningen ofta hänförs till uttryck för bristande samtycke eller bristande uppsåt, är det domstolens ansvar att värdera utsagan och avgöra om den uppfyller beviskravet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att granska och analysera hur denna värdering bör utföras samt hur den går till i praktiken. Engelsk rWhen an indictment, more or less, depends on the complainant’s testimony, as it often is in the case of rape when the evidence relates to the issue of consent or mens rea, it is up to the court to evaluate the testimony and decide whether or not it meets the standard of proof. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyse how that evaluation should be performed and how it is currently perfor
Uppsatsen behandlar reglerna om tvångslikvidation vid kritisk kapitalbrist och särskilt det personliga betalningsansvar, s.k. medansvar, som kan drabba styrelseledamöter i aktiebolag enligt 25 kap. 18 § ABL. Medansvaret innebär ett personligt och solidariskt ansvar som aktualiseras om styrelsen underlåter att agera enligt det handlingsschema som kapitalbristreglerna uppställer i 25 kap. 13–17 §§ A
Om en upphandlande myndighet beslutar sig för att använda sig av egna resurser vid en anskaffning krävs ingen föregående tillämpning av upphandlingslagstiftningen. EU-domstolen har i mål C-107/98 Teckal uttalat att användande av resurser som innehas av en fristående enhet under vissa förutsättningar ska anses finnas inom den upphandlande myndighetens egna organisation. Så anses vara fallet när denIf a contracting authority decides to use its own resources upon acquisition, no prior application of procurement law is required. In Case C-107/98 Teckal, the European Court of Justice has stated that the use of resources held by an independent entity, under certain conditions should be considered within the contracting authority's own organization. Such a situation occurs when the contractin
Den traditionella synen i fordringsmål är att den borgenär som kräver återbetalning med grund i en påstådd försträckning måste styrka att en försträckning ägt rum. Genom NJA 2014 s. 364 har dock denna utgångspunkt till viss del frångåtts. I målet var det ostridigt att ett belopp motsvarande det tvistiga beloppet överförts från käranden till svaranden. Käranden påstod i målet att överföringen hade
Pyrimidines are important precursors for nucleic acids, and constantly synthesized and degraded in the cell to maintain a balanced supply. Many microoganisms can also extract the nitrogens from the pyrimidine ring, and use them as a nitrogen source when “preferred” sources are absent. Four different pathways, by which pyrimidines can be degraded, are known. I have studied the last discovered, but
Local treatment of a tumour is of interest from a number of perspectives. It is focused on reducing the tumour volume with minimal trauma, inducing tumour immunity and is a potential component of a combination therapy against tumours. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) has turned out to be a method well suited for selective local destruction of malignant tumours. This thesis is based on an exp
