In times of increased environmental awareness, there exists a desire to not only build new environmentally friendly and renewable power generating units, but also to increase the efficiency of all existing technology. Wind power is such a renewable and environmentally friendly technology. Wind turbines and wind power have made giant leaps in the world in the past years, with an almost exponential

Den globala uppvärmningen fortsätter vilket leder till stigande havsnivåer som kan påverka kustnära samhällen världen runt. Stigande havsnivåer påverkar i sin tur erosionsprocesser, som ökar när havet stiger och mer material kan omarbetas av vågor och strömmar. Skånes sydkust är utsatt för erosion på ett flertal lokaler, vilket har lett till en förändrad strandlinje och vid höga vattenstånd har inGlobal warming continues, leading to rising sea-levels that could affect coastal communities around the world. Rising sea levels in turn affect erosion processes, which increase as sea-levels rise and more material can be reworked by waves and currents. The south coast of Scania is exposed to erosion at several locations, which has led to an altered shoreline and damage of infrastructure during hi

Sammanfattning Integritet i arbetslivet är, delvis på grund av ny och allt billigare teknik inom området, en högst aktuell fråga idag som skär tvärs igenom alla nivåer i arbetslivet. Hanteringen av personanknuten information ökar och de metoder som används för att samla in och bearbeta personuppgifter förfinas hela tiden. Samtidigt är övervakning i arbetslivet knappast något nytt fenomen. Även deSummary As a result of new and cheaper technology in surveillance, integrity in the workforce is a highly relevant question that cuts through all levels of the workforce. Handling of personal information is increasing, and the methods used to collect and process personal information is constantly refined. Meanwhile surveillance in the workplace is no new phenomenon. Even the very first theorists

Rätten till grundskola har blivit föremål för reglering i internationella instrument rörande mänskliga rättigheter såväl som i EU-lagstiftning. För de EU-migranter som lagligt utnyttjar sin rätt till fri rörlighet i maximalt tre månader är existensen av rätten till utbildning i den mottagande medlemsstaten dock oklart och syftet med den här studien är att undersöka huruvida en sådan rätt finns i dThe right to primary education has been subject to regulation in both international human rights law and EU law. However, the right to education in the host state for EU migrants who lawfully exercise their freedom of movement, for a maximum of three months, is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether such a right exists in this particular circumstance. EU legislation explicitly

Avloppets gula guld kan sluta naturens kretslopp Dagens jordbruk kräver tillskott av växtnäringsämnen genom gödsling. Många av dessa ämnen återfinns i avloppsvatten. Med dagens avloppshantering är möjligheterna ganska små att återanvända näringen på åkrarna. Urinsortering skapar nya vägar att sluta naturens kretslopp. Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av masteruppsatsen: Challenges during startNitrogen and phosphorous compounds are secreted by humans and treated in wastewater treatments plants. These substances are also found in agricultural fertilisers and needed for plant growth. Nutrient recycling is limited in conventional treatment systems and valuable products are lost. Urine contains most of the nutrients from humans and by separating it from wastewater it is possible to close th

Godstransporter på väg står för ungefär 7 % av Sveriges totala växthusgasutsläpp och godstransportarbetet förväntas öka med drygt 65 % till år 2040, delvis till följd av ökad globalisering. Enligt IPCC:s senaste rapport är transportsektorn ett prioriterat område för att begränsa miljöpåverkan och den statliga utredningen om fossilfri fordonstrafik pekar ut minskad användning av fossila bränslen oc

OBJECTIVES: To retrospectively investigate the use of percent free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) compared with total PSA in serum as predictor of prostate cancer in men selected randomly from the general population who underwent biopsy on the basis of abnormal findings on digital rectal examination (DRE) or transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and/or serum PSA levels greater than 10 ng/mL. METHODS: A s

Diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (PN) is a common and serious complication of diabetes. The prevalence of PN is rising with the global burden of type 2 diabetes. The causal mechanisms of PN are not fully understood, but both vascular and metabolic factors play a role. New methods of investigating PN need to be correlated with standard methods in well-defined, population-based cohorts. Objective

Background: Osteoporosis is increasingly recognised as one of the major public health problems throughout the world and has massive socioeconomic implications. It has previously been shown that patients with severe haemophilia and not receiving any prophylactic treatment render a high risk of reduced bone density. Aims: To evaluate Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in patients with haemophilia of differ

The solidarity clause was drafted a year after the terrorist attack in New York in 2001 and was informally further substantialised after the terrorist attack in Madrid in 2004. It became evident that terrorism is also a real and current threat to the Member States of the EU. The solidarity clause is now a part of the Constitutional Treaty (CT), which at the moment is subject to ratification in the

Vilka ämnesområden som inte lämpar sig för skiljeförfarande och således faller under nationell domstols jurisdiktion är omstritt. Skiljedomsmässighet, som riktar sig till själva tvistefrågan, besvarar den ovan ställda frågan i varje enskilt fall. Vad som faller inom ramen för skiljedomsmässighet avgörs av varje enskild stat. Denna form av skiljedomsmässighet definerar de tvistande parternas freeWhich subject matters are inappropriate for submission to arbitration and should instead be decided by a court of law? Subject matter arbitrability answers this question. What is included in the scope of inarbitrability is decided by the each single country. Subject matter arbitrability has influence on the parties’ freedom of contact by defining which issues the disputing parties may freely emp

This thesis work is concerned with the efficient layout and operation of substations, i.e. those district heating (DH) system units which connect the network and internal building heating systems, such as radiator heating systems and domestic hot water distribution networks. The ambition was to make realistic investigations closely related to practical technologies within the field. The themes of
