Several digital technologies are now available to record and document archaeological excavations. A large number of studies have been published concerning the use of laser scanning, image based 3D modelling and GIS. By integrating different typologies of 3D data from Uppåkra, an Iron Age central place in southern Sweden, this thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of how 3D Geographic In
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a major drawback of haemodialysis and occurs in more than every fifth dialysis treatment. There is a need for real-time measurement, with an ability to detect IDH before it occurs. Photoplethysmography (PPG) may provide sufficient information about hemodynamic status to prevent IDH. In particular, the venous component may be useful. This thesis aims to investiga
Cell Death Detection in Images What if we could kill cancer cells? The fact is that we already can, at least to some extent. Many cancer treatments targets cancer cells and kill them by causing them to commit suicide. To be able to do this even better, and minimize adverse effects, information about the biological regulation behind cell death needs to be known, and far from everything has been di
The term Middle-income Trap (MIT) is relatively new, originating thirteen years ago, but has since generated significant debate. It is used by politicians to channel national reforms and has given rise to a vast amount of research about growth slowdowns in middle-income countries (MICs). The term describes the higher prevalence of economic growth slowdowns in MICs, which impedes their transition i
Technology transfer (TT) is a process that allows countries to acquire, adapt, deploy, localise and innovate technologies from other countries. In the case of international development, TT can help enhance the technology capabilities of developing countries and empower them to boost their economic development. Facilitating access to technologies through TT is an element often found in UNIDO’s acti
Från att den svenska synen på avtalsförhållanden tidigare betonat parternas avtalsfrihet och starkt präglats av en restriktivitet mot att fylla ut avtal med förpliktelser som inte uttryckligen följer av dessa, har utvecklingen på avtalsrättens område gått emot en syn som snarare ser avtalsförhållandet som ett samarbetsförhållande än ett motpartsförhållande. Svenska avtalsparter har i takt med den The Swedish view of contractual relations has previously emphasized the parties’ contractual freedom and has been characterized by a restrictiveness towards imposing obligations on the parties beyond what expressly follows from the agreement. Development in the area of contract law has led to the contractual relationship being seen rather as a cooperative relationship than a counter-party relation
Detta examensarbete har gjorts I samarbete med Tylö AB, ett bastuföretag med säte i Halmstad. De hade behov av att utreda möjligheten att använda universella, gärna likadana, gångjärn på alla sina bastudörrar i glas. Idag används flera olika typer av gångjärn beroende på var dörren ska monteras och alla olika gångjärn kräver olika typer av bearbetning på glasdörren för att kunna monteras. Tylö vil
Matsvinn är ett stort globalt problem som för närvarande saknar tillräckliga politiska och lagstiftande åtgärder för att förstå och hantera problemet. Skåne län, har ambitiösa och högt satta klimatmål, där minskat kommunalt matsvinn kan vara ett sätt för att uppnå dessa mål. Jag ville bättre förstå vilken forskning som redan existerar, var forskningsbrister ligger och hur matsvinn reduceras i verkFood waste is recognized as a major global issue that currently lacks sufficient political and legislative action in order to understand or address it adequately. Skåne County, Sweden’s southernmost county, has highly ambitious climate action goals, and reducing municipal food waste could help them meet these goals. I wanted to better understand what research already exists, where research gaps li
I denna uppsats utreds de arvsrättsliga skillnaderna mellan efterlevande make respektive sambo och problematiserar dessa utifrån ett äldrerättsligt perspektiv. Förutom att medellivslängden har ökat i Sverige så har dessutom antalet samboförhållanden sedan 1960-talet ökat. 1,5 miljoner svenskar i blandade åldrar antas idag leva som sambo. Oavsett om man valt att leva som gift eller sambo så blir reThe purpose of this thesis is to, from an elder law perspective, study the differences in inheritance law between the surviving spouse and the surviving cohabitant. Apart from the fact that the average life expectancy has increased in Sweden, the number of relationships of unmarried cohabitants has also increased since the 1960s. Approximately 1.5 million Swedish couples in miscellaneous ages are
Under de senaste decennierna har antalet diagnostiserade cancerfall stadigt ökat. För patienter med den ödesdigra hjärntumören glioblastom har överlevnadsstatistiken dock stått still. Forskare i Lund och Köpenhamn tros nu ha funnit pusselbiten som kan komma att ändra på detta. Cancern är en av de dödligaste sjukdomarna i Sverige och stod för 26 procent av alla dödsfall år 2017. Däremot har man unPurpose: Improvements in mortality rate of glioblastoma patients have been limited during the past decades, due to the tumor’s rapidly growing and infiltrative behavior and resistance to current therapy. Recent findings show that higher brain mean dose strongly correlates with inferior overall survival and that local recurrences mainly occur centrally in previously irradiated regions. This project

Sedan införandet av lag (2006:45) om omvandling av fängelse på livstid (omvandlingslagen) har personer som dömts till livstids fängelse möjlighet att ansöka om att få livstidsstraffet omvandlat till ett tidsbestämt straff. Örebro tingsrätt prövar samtliga ansökningar om omvandling. Majoriteten av de som döms till livstids fängelse i Sverige döms för brottet mord. Att straffskalan för mord skärptesSince the passing of the Act (2006:45) on conversion of life imprisonment (omvandlingslagen), prisoners serving life sentences can apply for conversion from a life sentence to a fixed sentence. The petitions for conversion are adjudicated by Örebro district court. The majority of individuals serving life imprisonment in Sweden are convicted of murder. The increase of the severity of the penalty fo
Background: The aim of this study is to analyze longitudinally, based on four measurements at intervals of eight years, the annual effect of age group and birth cohort on regular exercise in the Swedish population from 1980-1981 to 2004-2005. Methods: We followed a randomly drawn subsample of individuals aged 16-63 years, interviewed by professional interviewers, from the Swedish Annual Level of L
Application of C-rich plant residues can change the soil system from C-limitation for microbial growth to limitation by other nutrients. However, the initial nutrient status of the soil may interact with the added amount of residues in determining limitation. We studied this interactive effect in soils from the Harvard Forest LTER, where annual addition of N since 1988 has resulted in soils with d
We studied the nature of the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of death among elderly men. BMD was associated with mortality risk and was independent of adjustments for other co-morbidities. A piecewise linear function described the relationship more accurately than assuming the same gradient of risk over the whole range of BMD (p = 0.020). Low BMD was associated with a
Acidic soils are harsh environments for plants. One of the major problems is the potential toxicity of aluminium (Al) and hydrogen ions at a pH below 5: another is the shortage of nutrients usually accompanying soil acidity. The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonisation and soil acidity (measured by pH and Al concentration) in order to eva
Popular Abstract in Swedish Dödligheten i skador i Sverige har under de senaste årtiondena minskat, en minskning som idag dock har planat ut. Antalet dödade i transportolyckor och i arbetsplatsolyckor i Sverige har minskat under de senaste 40 åren vilket kan ses som ett resultat av ett effektivt säkerhetsarbete. När det gäller fallolyckor så har däremot andelen som dör av sina skador ökat markant Injuries are often associated with long-term suffering and lowered functioning, and personal injuries impose a huge burden on medical care and health services in addition to the costs associated with impaired functional ability. Each year in Sweden, falling accidents are experienced by a third of those aged 60 or over and half of those aged 80 or over, while injuries from traffic accidents still a
Människor boende i Brasiliens regnskogar livnär sig på svedjebruk, vilket är en jordbruksmetod där en först hugger ned skogen för att sen bränna resterande stubbar och annan vegetation. Jordbruksmetoden är, enligt SKY Rainforest Rescue, en ohållbar metod som kan försämra regnskogens ekosystem och därmed dess ekosystemtjänster som människan har kommit att bli beroende av. Organisationen arbetar förIn the state of Acre, Brazil, there is ongoing land use change, where inhabitants of this part of the Amazonian rainforest practice shifting agriculture. Practicing this type of agriculture is, according to the SKY Rainforest Rescue organization, damaging to forest ecosystems. This organization aims to educate people in how to maintain sustainable agriculture. By monitoring this shift in agricultu
Differences in ecological conditions can result in the evolution of dramatic inter-population shifts in whole suites of traits. We studied variation in reproductive output in three lizard populations of the Skyros Wall Lizard (Podarcis gaigeae, Lacertidae) endemic to the Skyros Archipelago (Greece), which live under similar climatic conditions but differ in predation pressure and food availability
Lund University, Sweden, is the only seat of learning having Sociology of Law (hereafter SoL) at all levels in Europe. SoL was initiated in 1972 as a department at the Social Science Faculty, with professor Per Stjernquist as chair. Later on, for some 10 years, SoL was a division within the department of Sociology but from January 2006, SoL is an autonomous department at the Social Science Faculty
