RISKfree ? ett system för riskhantering inom programvaruprojekt I dagens IT-centrerade värld sker utvecklingen av hårdvara och programvara i en rasande takt. Om ett företag skall ha möjlighet att vara konkurrenskraftigt i denna utvecklingstakt, krävs det snabba och effektiva metoder i utvecklingsprocessen. Dessa krav från omvärlden på nya och mer komplexa produkter och tjänster innebär ofta nya o
En vårdnadstvist hör ofta samman med föräldrars separation, vilken kan grunda sig i en konflikt föräldrarna emellan. Domstolens prövning kan även komma att påverka barnet i olika hänseenden. Det händer att en förälder hävdar att det finns en risk för barnet att vara med den andra föräldern. Det kan vara en anklagelse om att den andra föräldern allvarligt har misshandlat barnet eller föräldern, misChild custody cases brought before a civil court often consist of a conflict between two parents. A child custody dispute may also affect the child in several aspects. A parent may claim there is a risk to the child when spending time with the other parent. Such an allegation may consist of child abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, child abduction or mental ill health. The enumerated circum

In such audits the taxable’s accounting and other materials are compared against the information that has been submi
With an increasingly population and urbanization, the solid waste management have become a major challenge for local authorities in developing countries all over the world. The local authorities must improve their waste management in order to minimize the negative effects of solid waste and to avoid future land use conflicts. At the same time the economical resources are limited and solid waste ma
Dealing with water diffuse pollution is a major problem for watershed managers. This problem raises many complicated questions, which are important to answer in order to reach water environment protection goals. This study suggested some possible answers for the country of Lithuania. Among them were the identification of critical source areas, the identification of sensitive areas and the applicat
Enzyme engineering for a better future It is essential for many organisms on this planet to be able to digest plants. One of those organisms is the blue mussel, which uses certain enzymes in its stomach to break down sugar fibers in the algae that it eats. But how does this really work, and can we use it for anything? Plant cells have very strong walls, protecting them from environmental stress.

Dwarf galaxies are a key component in understanding the evolution of galaxies and provide tests on the standard cosmological $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. According to the formation hierarchy, dwarf galaxies are the pieces that create all galaxies. Our current understanding of dwarf galaxies faces discrepancies between theory and observations. These problems are mostly due to incompleteness in
Betong är världens mest använda byggnadsmaterial och kan användas i många olika syften. Betong består av cement som bindemedel och vatten, sand och sten (ballast).Tillverkningen av cement är problematisk eftersom det medför stora koldioxidutsläpp och det har varit ett fokus inom branschen att minska miljöpåverkan. De framsteg som har gjorts för att minska miljöpåverkan är bland annat att använda a
This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) factors and investment strategies. Specifically, it focuses on how ESG scores can influence investment decisions within companies listed on the DAX Index, the benchmark German stock market index. Using Granger causality on individual companies from the DAX and on portfolios built on the ESG score of companies w
The principal fate during litter decomposition and mineralization is rather well established only for a limited number of elements, mainly essential plant nutrients and a few potentially very toxic metals. Elements which occupy the majority of the positions in the periodical system seems almost unknown in this context. The objectives were, therefore to assess differences in the behavior of 58 mine
Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia, but substantial heterogeneity exists in the manifestation of NPS. Sex differences may explain this clinical variability. We aimed to investigate the sex differences in the prevalence and severity of NPS in AD dementia. Methods: Literature searches were conducted in Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed,
Background: Hepatitis B virus infection is a global health problem with the highest prevalence in East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of infected people, including healthcare workers are unaware of their status. This study is aimed to determining seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus infection and associated factors among healthcare workers in northern Tanzania. Methods: This cross-sectio
Background: Cervical cancer is a public health challenge despite the available free screening service in Ethiopia. Early screening for cervical cancer significantly improves the chances of successful treatment of pre-cancers and cancers among women of reproductive age. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the uptake of screening and identify the factors among women of reproductive age. Methods: A
BACKGROUND: The major risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease differ by race or ethnicity but have largely been defined using populations of European ancestry. Despite the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Africa there are few related data from African populations. Therefore, we compared the association of established cardiovascular risk factors with carotid-intima med
Background: The failing heart is traditionally described as metabolically inflexible and oxygen starved, causing energetic deficit and contractile dysfunction. Current metabolic modulator therapies aim to increase glucose oxidation to increase oxygen efficiency of adenosine triphosphate production, with mixed results. Methods: To investigate metabolic flexibility and oxygen delivery in the failing
Background and Objectives: There is considerable heterogeneity in the association between increasing β-amyloid (Aβ) pathology and early cognitive dysfunction in preclinical Alzheimer disease (AD). At this stage, some individuals show no signs of cognitive dysfunction, while others show clear signs of decline. The factors explaining this heterogeneity are particularly important for understanding pr
Background: Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) enables non-invasive quantification of cardiac output (CO) and thereby cardiac index (CI, CO indexed to body surface area). The aim of this study was to establish if CI decreases with age and compare the values to CI for athletes and for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods: CI was measured in 144 healthy volunteers (39 +/- 16 ye
