I och med stigande havsnivåer blir stormfloder allt vanligare och destruktiva. Stormfloder är kraftiga och snabba höjningar av vattennivån till följd av meteorologiska och hydrologiska förhållanden. Dessa högvattenhändelser mobilisera sediment för att bilda överspolningssediment längst med kusten. Spekulationer kring sedimentens värde i syftet att rekonstruera historiska stormar har gjort det aktuDue to rising sea levels storm surges are becoming increasingly commonplace as well as destructive. Storm surges are quick and powerful increases of sea level as an effect of meteorological and hydrological conditions. These high-water events mobilize sediment to create washover deposits along the coast. Speculations around the sediments value in the pursuit of reconstructing historical storms has

The aim of this thesis was to determine if and to what extent leprosy and syphilis was present at the graveyard of St:Jörgen in medieval Malmö, as well as trying to understand if it was used as a leprosy hospital. A total of 42 individuals were studied in this thesis. This thesis was based on previous pathological comments regarding changes to the skeleton that could have been interpreted as eithe

This study aimed to examine the work of elderly counselors in municipal eldercare, focusing on how they describe older people’s psychosocial needs, their mandate and professional role, and the need for a profession responsible for providing psychosocial support to older people. The study is based on eight semi-structured interviews with nine elderly counselors working in municipalities in central

Let us talk about the kids – family law social workers’ description of mediation with separated couples Divorce and separation are a part and parcel of modern family life in western society. However the separation process can sometimes get out of hand, especially when children are involved. Long custody fights in the courts are not only harmful to the children but are also costly for society. Med

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Heart failure (HF) is a common complication of diabetes, associated with a high mortality rate and a substantial healthcare burden. Residual HF risk persists despite achieving current treatment targets, suggesting a role for additional mechanisms beyond conventional risk factors. We sought to prospectively assess HF incidence and independent risk factors in individuals with new-on

TRP channels sense temperatures ranging from noxious cold to noxious heat. Whether specialized TRP thermosensor modules exist and how they control channel pore gating is unknown. We studied purified human TRPA1 (hTRPA1) truncated proteins to gain insight into the temperature gating of hTRPA1. In patch-clamp bilayer recordings, ∆1-688 hTRPA1, without the N-terminal ankyrin repeat domain (N-ARD), wa

Sedan 2017 har elever erbjudits att välja elektroniska digitala instrument (EDI) som huvudinstrument på ett antal gymnasieskolor i Sverige. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur elever som har EDI som huvudinstrument på gymnasiet reflekterar kring det egna instrumentet, sin musikaliska identitet samt övning och utbildning i förhållande till EDI. Då forskning om EDI i skrivande stund befinner sig i

This study examines how firms acquired in leveraged buyouts (LBOs) by private equity (PE) firms manage financial stability during macroeconomic turbulence by using investment as proxy. In an LBO, the acquisition is typically financed with substantial debt, which is placed on the balance sheet of the target firm, resulting in high leverage. A staggered Difference-in-Differences design is employed u
