Disturbances on utilities, such as steam and cooling water, often cause large revenue losses at industrial sites. These disturbances are often hard to handle, since they commonly are plant-wide disturbances that affect more than one production area at the site. Also, the production areas of the site are often dependent on other production areas because of the flow of product through the site, whic
The development of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is firmly rooted in the idea of higher education (HE) as the cornerstone of a knowledge-based society. Throughout Europe, HE bodies are addressing issues of quality, mobility, employability and lifelong learning. HE agencies and institutions alike are working hard to harmonise European degrees and apply quality assurance standards (ESG,
Objective To describe the experiences of people with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in different European countries of functioning and health and to link these experiences to the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to develop a common understanding from a bio-psycho-social perspective. Method A qualitative multicentre study with focus-group interviews was perform
Background: While simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) is considered to be a promising process for bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to ethanol, there are still relatively little demo-plant data and operating experiences reported in the literature. In the current work, we designed a SSCF process and scaled up from lab to demo scale reaching 4% (w/v) ethanol using xylos
A detailed flammability evaluation of different materials used in the nuclear power industry is presented as an example of how important are physical observation and detailed analysis in the interpretation of test data. The objective is to provide different criteria that could allow the use of standard test data in fire modeling. So far most fire test data has only been used as an element for rank
The purpose of this study was to examine and describe how available the public transportation system in Skåne is for persons that are depending on a wheelchair. The study focus on Skånetrafiken, the provider of local bus and train transports. The basis of the study was seven interviews. The theoretical basis was Goffmans theory of stigma and Nirjes principle of normality. Stigma and normality was

Vaccine-preventable diseases cause millions of deaths every year in the developing world. Despite the fact that vaccination is one of the most cost-effective health interventions available today governments in developing countries fail to keep up with routine immunization and many parents fail to immunize their children. This essay examines the underlying reasons for routine immunization failure a
Fighting against accidents with elderly involved have come to be one of the west world's greatest challenges together with the climate changes and epidemics, and in order to fight against these accidents SDF Centre, Gothenburg appointed a man to the post as a caretaker. The aim of this master thesis is to analyse whether the implementation process and the systematic work correspond with Vedun
Ammonia detection is highly relevant for combustion in boilers and furnaces since NH3 is able to suppress nitric oxide levels by catalytic as well as non-catalytic reduction. The mixing of ammonia with flue gases is an important parameter to obtain efficient non-catalytic reduction. In this paper picosecond DIAL was used for range-resolved, single ended, NH3 detection, utilizing a tunable picoseco
Objective: To describe patients' experience of acupuncture treatment in low back and pelvic pain during pregnancy. Design: An intervention study carried out between September 2000 and December 2001, involving 40 pregnant women. Participants: The study population consisted of healthy pregnant women presenting with low back and pelvic pain at maternity health care centres within a defined area in so
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är kvinnans vanligaste cancerform och globalt sett den cancer som leder till flest dödsfall. Bröstcancerscreening med mammografi används därför i syfte att hitta cancern tidigt. En tidigt upptäckt cancer har oftast en bättre prognos med möjlighet att minska dödligheten i bröstcancer. Mammografitekniken är dock behäftad med vissa begränsningar vad gäller känsAbstract: Mammography is currently the established method in breast cancer screening, although the sensitivity is known be affected by overlapping tissue concealing tumours. Breast tomosynthesis takes advantage of multiple exposures at different angles reducing the negative effect of obscuring tissue. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the use of tomosynthesis in breast imaging with a spec
This research aims to understand the frames used by conspiracy theorists by establishing a new pathway in media framing, or in other words a media framing micro-theory, called conspiratorial framing. The aims are accomplished through a critical analysis of the case of Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist, and InfoWars, the media channel through which Jones operates. Through frame analysis, accomplis
Den här fallstudien undersöker hur Rädda Barnen arbetar opinionsbildande i sin kampanj för att få hem de svenska barnen med föräldrar som har IS-kopplingar från Syrien. Studien har gjorts i syfte att få förståelse för hur Rädda Barnen använder sig av medier för att bedriva sitt kampanjarbete och sätta sig själva och de frågor de bedriver på agendan. Vi har genomfört en studie där vi analyserat fle
BACKGROUND: Viral infections of the upper airways are the most common cause for absence from work or school, and there is evidence for probiotic efficacy in reducing the incidence and severity of these infections.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to confirm the previously reported beneficial effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HEAL9 and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 8700:2 against community-acquired common
Objective: To analyze the age- and trial-specific effects of the breast cancer screening trials with mammography in Malmö, Stockholm, and Göteborg. Methods: The original trial files were linked to the Swedish Cancer and Cause of Death Registers to obtain date of breast cancer diagnosis and date and cause of death. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the evaluation mod
Thermal comfort has direction implications for energy efficiency and sustainable development. From a global perspective, about 40% of total primary energy is used in buildings, contributing to more than 30% of CO2 emissions [1]. The fact that the common practices of clothing choices have impact on energy efficiency is ignored [2-3]. This paper analyzed and proposed clothing insulation required for
Brain glutamine synthetase (GS) is an integral part of the glutamate-glutamine cycle and occurs in the glial compartment. In vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows noninvasive measurements of the concentrations and synthesis rates of metabolites. (15)N MRS is an alternative approach to (13)C MRS. Incorporation of labeled (15)N from ammonia in cerebral glutamine allows to measure several
