This paper explores associations between education and life expectancy by sex at the district level in Costa Rica for the Census years 1984, 2000 and 2011. Previous research on the topic have shown mixed results on the gradient between SES and health outcomes for Costa Rica. This ecological study is the first to use districts as the unit of observation, which allows for a more elaborate analysis i

The purpose of this study was to embark on a theory in examining the unintentional effects affiliated with the law, when legislation took place in establishing border controls within the internal boarder. The study is aiming to focus on the affects travelers along with transportation companies experience on a day to day basis. Following the analysis method which is based on a theory by Robert K. M

Anthropogenic land-use covers a constantly increasing fraction of the terrestrial surface area. By employing a dynamic global vegetation model, human-induced changes in the terrestrial water balance as compared to an undisturbed scenario were simulated. The results suggest that humanity is a main driver of change in the terrestrial water balance in general and green water in particular. Most strik

The master thesis intends to investigate the advantages and disadvantages with the simulation language SIMSCRIPT. The programming language was learned from manual and books about SIMSCRIPT (see references). Two models were made ato describe two different systems, one fictive and the other already existing. The first model simulates the work at an assembly line. The model illustrates the use of the

The aim of this study was to examine attitudes towards LGBTQ-people among social work students at Lund University in Sweden. The purpose was specifically to study if the attitudes change during the program and if the social work education has any impact on the attitudes. The data was collected through a digital survey-method which was distributed by email to students of all semesters of the educat

The purpose with our essay is to examine how Arabic young men, with Islamic background, behave to the origin culture of alcohol in relation to the Swedish alcohol culture. To get the information we used a qualitative method. We interviewed young men with Islamic background. Some central questions that character our essay was about the interview person's positions between the different alcohol

Nigeria is a federal state with 36 states and 1 territory, the Abuja Federal Capital Territory. Nigeria is Africa's most populous country&semic the population is estimated to be around 130 million. More than 250 ethnic groups live in the country. The most populous and politically influential are Hausa and Fulani (29%), Yoruba (21%) and Igbo (often called Ibo, 18%). About 50% of the populat

Is världen över smälter till följd av temperaturökningen som sker på jorden. Glaciärer retirerar och isen tunnas ut vid polarområdena. Vid Arktis har isen studerats under hundratals år men det var inte förrän på 1970-talet som havsisens utbredning kunde kartläggas ordentligt med hjälp av fjärranalys. Passiv mikrovågsradiometri är den vanligaste metoden för att mäta havsisens utbredning. Trenderna All over the world ice is melting as a result of the increased temperature. The sea ice at the poles is getting thinner and glaciers are retreating. The Arctic has been studied during hundreds of years but it was not until the 1970’s the sea ice extent could be surveyed properly with remote sensing. The most common method to investigate the sea ice extent is with passive microwave satellite sensor

The iron production in northern Scania is well documented and research has been done during a long time. The primary focus in these researches was to study the production process, the starting and the ending time of the production and the area of production. The ending time of the production is usually said to be with the Swedish conquest of Scania. The other part of this paper is about “friskytta

This report is a result of a Master thesis that was carried out at Dresser Wayne AB and at the Division of Machine Design at the Department of Design Sciences LTH. The thesis was written as a product development report and essentially follows the method described by Ulrich and Eppinger found in the publication Product Design and Development. The objective of the Master Thesis was to design and bui

The task of this essay is to study paleopathology in unburned bones from the Bronze Age of Scania, Sweden. Questions about the meaning of age, sex and health is raised, due to this task. Further, this study also aims to construct a catalog over the material. The study is based upon 5771 bone fragments and 789 teeth from 18 different archaeological sites. All the material is situated in Lunds Unive

A search for squarks and gluinos in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum and no electrons or muons is presented. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment in root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation was observed in 35 pb(-1) of analysed data. Gluino masses below 500 GeV are excluded at

Flat premixed burner-stabilized H-2 + O-2 + N-2 flames, neat or doped with 300-1000 ppm of NO or NH3, were studied experimentally using molecular-beam mass-spectrometry and simulated numerically. Spatial profiles of temperature and concentrations of stable species, H-2, O-2, H2O, NO, NH3, and of H and OH radicals obtained at atmospheric pressure in lean (phi = 0.47), near-stoichiometric (phi = 1.1

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Den ökande urbaniseringen värden över och de hälsorisker som identifierats i samband med värmeböljor i städer, har medfört att det urbana klimatet blivit ett allt viktigare forskningsområde. Vindhastighet är en av de viktigaste parametrarna när det gäller att beräkna lokala klimatvariationer och bedöma eventuella hälsorisker. En enkel beräkningsmetod för vind kanWind is a complex phenomenon and a critical factor in assessing climatic conditions and pedestrian comfort within cities. This master’s thesis attempts to quantify and model the relationship between near ground wind speed and urban geometry using two-dimensional raster data and variable selection methods based on Multiple Linear Regression. A simple regression model can be implemented in a Geogra

Removal of five acidic pharmaceuticals (ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and clofibric acid) by activated sludge from five municipal activated sludge treatment processes, with various sludge ages and nitrification capacities, was assessed through batch experiments. The increase in aerobic sludge age from 1-3 to 7 d seemed to be critical for the removal of naproxen and ketoprofen, with m

Following administration of surfactant a marked depression in aEEG activity occurs for about 10 minutes; the mechanism of this depression is unknown. In view of this, twenty-nine preterm infants were investigated with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to evaluate rapid changes in total cerebral haemoglobin concentration and cerebral oxyhaemoglobin concentration during rescue treatment with natural

This article examines changes in the repertoire of contention in Sweden during the crucial years of democratisation. Based on a dataset of applications to organise public marches in Stockholm 1887-1920, the study looks at the overall trends in the political use of demonstrations: which organisations applied to stage demonstrations and which organisations obtained permission from the authorities.
