Understanding monthly runoff variability, its spatio-temporal characteristics, and key drivers under climate change and human impacts is crucial for long-term water resource management. However, current knowledge remains limited, especially in high-elevation, seasonally cold regions. Focusing on 10 sub-basins along an elevation gradient (1000 to 5900 ma.s.l.) in the hydrologically complex Yalong R

I svensk straffrätt är alla medborgare föremål för åtal även om individen lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning. Åtalade som lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning kan få rättspsykiatrisk vård som påföljd. Rättspsykiatrisk vård är en tidsobestämd påföljd som inte kan kombineras med ett fängelsestraff. Vården kan förenas med en så kallad särskild utskrivningsprövning om det finns risk för att persIn Swedish penal law all defendants can be prosecuted even if they suffer from a serious mental disorder. These defendants can be sentenced to forensic psychiatric care for an indefinite time. In today’s system there are no possibilities to combine psychiatric care with prison as a penalty. The psychiatric care can be combined with a special discharge review that enables the convicted’s sentence t

Background: Dyspnea is a common and diagnostically challenging symptom in the emergency department (ED), particularly among older adults with multimorbidity. Traditional risk stratification tools often perform poorly in this population. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a biomarker of inflammation and fibrosis, may reflect biological aging and resilience, potentially improving early mortality risk assessment.Ob

Purpose: To avoid over-treatment of prostate cancer patients following screening for elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, keeping patients on active surveillance has been suggested as an alternative to radical treatment. This means recurring visits for patients with low-grade cancer to monitor progression. Our aim was to develop an artificial intelligence-based model that can identify high-r

Denna uppsats hade som syfte att besvara frågorna om huruvida status som rättighetsbärare tillkommer ofödda människor, samt om gällande regleringar är tillräckliga för att skydda ofött liv. Undersökningen om rättighetsbärarstatus skedde inom ramen för rätten till liv, eftersom denna rättighet förutsattes vara den mest relevanta för ofödda människor. Uppsatsen undersökte först internationella mänsThis essay set out to answer the questions whether a status as rights-bearer is acknowledged for unborn human beings, and if the regulations in place are adequate in order to protect unborn life. Rights-bearer status was explored within the scope of the right to life, as this right was assumed to be the most relevant for unborn humans. The essay first examined international human rights law, focu

The Roan peninsula in western Norway, Vestranden, is known for exposing one of the deepest parts of the Scandinavian Caledonian orogen, similar to the Western Gneiss Region. Throughout the Roan area, eclogites and high-pressure granulite- and amphibolite-facies gneisses occur, associated with supracrustal rocks including marbles, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolites. Although extensive research ha

Background: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used to estimate peak bone mass, define osteoporosis and predict fracture. However, as aBMD is calculated as bone mineral content (BMC) divided by the scanned area, aBMD displays an inverse relationship with bone size. In a skeleton that is increasing in size, this is a problem, as bone size is an

Predicting corporate failure is an increasingly important topic in the world of economics today. This paper, with the help of the credit ranking company Syna AB, aims to investigate a few different statistic strategies to do just that. This task is accomplished by using a data material of 250 000 Swedish companies divided into two subsamples. The first sample is used to develop the model and the s

The role of environmental permits as a driver for environmental improvements has been a topic of debate for a while. Many permitting regulations were designed in the 1970's and have not been updated since then. Consequently, they have acted mostly as a driver for the adoption of pollution control technologies. Some experts now see that appropriately designed and implemented environmental permi

The effects of modern economic systems have put extensive pressure on the environment and society, both for this and future generations. Sustainable Development (SD) may offer the solution of pursuing development while ensuring the preservation of economic, environmental and social aspects for present and future generations. Throughout the centuries, universities and their faculty members have se

Enligt varumärkesrätten inom Europeiska Unionen (EU) är alla kännetecken som kan uppfattas med något av våra fem sinnen möjliga att registrera som varumärken om de kan återges grafiskt, samt kan särskilja ett företags varor och tjänster från andra företags. I Artikel 2 Rådets första direktiv 89/104/EEG av den 21 december 1988 om tillnärmningen av medlemsstaternas varumärkeslagar (VD) samt ArtikePursuant to the trade mark law of the European Community, all signs that can be perceived by any of our five senses as well as being graphically represented and capable of distinguishing the products of one undertaking from those of another undertaking, can be protected as a trade mark. In Article 2 of the First Council Directive 89/104/EEC of 21 December 1988 to approximate the laws of the Member

En person som otillbörligt utnyttjar att någon befinner sig i ett hjälplöst tillstånd, på grund av medvetslöshet, sömn, berusning, drogpåverkan, sjukdom, kroppsskada eller psykisk störning, kan dömas för våldtäkt. Bestämmelsen om hjälplöst tillstånd återfinns i 6:1 2st BrB. Arbetet behandlar frågan hur domstolar dömer när det kommer till våldtäkt och specifikt när det gäller hjälplöst tillstånd oA person who improperly exploits that someone is in a helpless state, due to unconsciousness, sleep, intoxication, drug influence, illness, physical injury or mental disturbance can be convicted of rape, according to Swedish law. The essay discusses the question of how courts judge when it comes to rape and especially when it comes to helpless state and if there is any connection between the help

It was in the early 1980s when Peter Ryan from the University of Cape Town started investigating ecological and conservational factors surrounding the endemic Nesospiza finches in the Tristan da Cunha archipelago, a curious case of resource-driven bird diversification in the Southern Atlantic. Ryan and others suggests for the radiation of Tristan finches to have happened around 400,000 years ago,

Improving teamwork has become a major safety goal for healthcare organizations. Audit tools currently available are useful, but they remain inadequate because they are reactive and fail to provide context for “the interaction between people and the operational context (i.e., organizational, regulatory and environmental factors) within which people discharge their operational duties” (Maurino, 2005

Den samiska ursprungsbefolkningens traditionella territorium breder ut sig över delar av Sverige, Norge, Finland och Ryssland. Samisk kultur är starkt kopplad till rennäringen, som kräver vidsträckta och sammanhängande marker där renen ostörd kan få tillgång till naturbete. Den här uppsatsen undersöker nuvarande möjligheter för samer i Sverige att påverka beslutsprocesser rörande användning av marThe traditional territory of the indigenous Sami people stretches into Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. Sami culture is strongly connected to reindeer husbandry, which requires vast and coherent land where the reindeer can access natural pasture without disturbances. This thesis examines present possibilities for Sami in Sweden to impact decision-making processes regarding use of land and natur

Purpose: The purpose of this study was two-fold. First, we aimed to develop a framework concerning how to directly and indirectly control discrimination in the workplace using Man- agement Control Systems (MCS). Second, we wanted to examine whether this framework is practically applicable in multinational enterprises (MNE). Methodology: The first part of the purpose was achieved through conduc

By increasing the amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere because of using fossil fuel and the limitation of non-renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaics technology has been growing steadily and is thought to play an important role in the realm of future energies. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential of the rooftops for installing PV system on a small scale of 30 mu

The recent addition of Modern Standard Chinese (MSC) as an elective language in Swedish elementary and high school ('Moderna Språk') has brought the teaching of MSC particle le to the fore. Le occurs either affixed to a verb (le1) or as a sentence-final particle (le2) and is a frequently used grammatical device in MSC with a great number of various functions. At the same time, coexistent a
