Nicaragua has a geothermal potential of 1519 MW (CNE 2001) due to its volcano chain created by the tectonic activity between the Cocos plate and the Caribbean plate. The Ministry of Energy and Mines in Nicaragua has the ambition to have 91% of Nicaraguas energy consumption from renewables energy for 2027 where geothermal energy will constitute 22%. In June 2016 an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 occur
Bakgrund: Årligen diagnostiseras över 6900 personer i bröstcancer och utgör den vanligast förekommande dödsorsaken hos kvinnor. Möjligheten att upptäcka sjukdomen i ett tidigt skede har ökat i Sverige då kvinnor i åldrarna 40-74 erbjuds hälsokontroller med mammografiscreening. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av mammografiscreening. Metod: En litteraturstudieIntroduction: Breast cancer is the most common death cause among women, more than 6900 women are diagnosed every year. The opportunity to discover the disease in an early stage has increased due to all women in Sweden are offered health checks with mammography screening. The aim of this study was to examine women's experiences of mammography screening. Method: The study was conducted as a lite
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
This study aims to explore, using a qualitative approach, how professionals outside the field of counseling relate to psychosocial support, the role of counselors, and teamwork.

The study constitutes a case study where a habilitation team within healthc
This study aims to examine which discourses regarding drug use can be identified on the social media app TikTok and how drug use is portrayed and constructed on the app. A netnographic study was conducted in which empirical material was collected from TikTok and analysed in a discourse analysis based on social constructivism. From the results, three discourses were identified: a health discourse,
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
This paper aims to investigate the price determinants of vaccines, using economic theory and multiple linear regression analysis. Due to uncertain returns of investment in research and development, the volatility of demand, and the winner-take-all element of patent races, supplying vaccines entails substantial risks. To stay in the market, firms need to be compensated for these risks. Expected cos

Det brinner, lågorna står från taket och än en gång väcks skräcken till liv i den svenska befolkningen. Gryningspyromanen har precis lämnat porten på Bollhusgatan 8 i Ystad och poliserna är honom hack i häl. Denna gång kommer bevisen att räcka för en fällande dom. Är gryningspyromanen egentligen pyroman? Om inte, vad är pyromani och varför faller inte Sveriges kändaste pyroman under begreppet? HurIt is burning, the flames have spread to the roof and once again, terror plagues the people of Sweden. Gryningspyromanen has just left the entrance of Bollhusgatan 8 in Ystad and the police are right behind him. This time, the evidence will be sufficient for a conviction. Is gryningspyromanen really a pyromaniac? If not, what is pyromania and why does Sweden's most famous pyromaniac not qualif
I dagsläget används två olika typer av kameror vid myokardscintigrafi-undersökningar, Kadmium-Zink-Tellurid (CZT)-kameran och den konventionella scintillationskameran. Kamerorna bygger på två vitt skilda tekniker vilket innebär att bilderna som de producerar innehåller vissa skillnader. Det är viktigt att läkarna som granskar bilderna är medvetna om att det förekommer skillnader i bilderna som uppThe new CZT camera has a different technology compared to conventional scintillation gamma cameras. The CZT camera have pinholes instead of parallel hole collimators, a static gantry instead of a rotating one and detection material made of a semiconductor in- stead of a scintillation crystal. The images arising from the CZT camera have a difference in appearance compared to the images produced by
Purpose: To compare and analyse four cases and some relevant journal articles. Methodology: Case studies/Cross sectional design and qualitative interviews. Theoretical perspectives: Transaction cost theory and relevant journal articles in order to identify motives already brought to the publics attention. Empirical foundation: Interview with either CEO alternatively head of investor relations/a
This study focused on expression, purification and functional characterization of three key proteins (Urc1p, Urc2p and Urc8p) in the newly discovered uracil catabolism (URC) pathway. A novel expression system was established by using Saccharomyces kluyveri as a host organism for expression of 6-His tagged Urc1p and Urc2p. Moreover, URC8 gene was cloned in pET151/D-TOPO vector and expressed in Esch
Bröstcancer är den vanligaste formen av cancer hos kvinnor. Fler än 7000 diagnostiseras med denna sjukdom varje år i Sverige. En del av behandlingen mot cancern är strålbehandling. För att strålbehandlingen ska ge goda effekter är det viktigt att det är den sjuka vävnaden som bestrålas, och att den friska vävnaden förskonas från strålningen i den mån det är möjligt. Detta uppnås genom noggranna stPurpose: The CatalystTM system was tested and compared with an X-ray image verification system for patient positioning during breast cancer treatment. Included was to find the optimal reference image and the optimal cropping method for the reference image. Parameters that could lead to an optimization of the treatment routines were also evaluated. Method and Material: The study was divided into t
