The purpose of the paper is to look at what role businesses play in the next stage of the Kyoto Protocol. More specifically I look at the role of the oil and gas industry in the politics of climate change. I present a counter-intuitive argument. Conventional wisdom says that one would assume that the largest polluters are actually the ones who are resisting climate change regulations but I want to
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Småvatten är en svacka eller hålighet som är vattenfylld året om. Dessa småvatten fyller många viktiga funktioner i naturen. De fungerar som utjämnare av flödesvariationer, uppehållsplats och födoplats för många djur och växter och som rena estetiska inslag i naturen, och inte minst som reningsplatser för oönskade näringsämnen så som kväve. Dessa småvatten har iWetlands play an important role in the ecosystem. They reduce the impact of flow flux in the drainage area, acts as upholder of biodiversity, as an esthetic and recreational component in the landscape and they have the ability to reduce nutrients such as nitrogen, and help preventing eutrophication in costal areas. The number of wetlands in Scania have, due to the intensified agriculture been redu
Title: The Nucleus of CSR – Creating and Communicating a Strategic Corporate Responsibility Agenda in a Controversial Industry Authors: Karin Andersson and Anne Frandsen Supervisors: Martin Blom – Department of Business Administration, Lund School of Economics and Management Per Svenningsson – Department of Technology and Society, Envi-ronmental and Energy Systems Studies, Lund Institute of Techno
Objective: The course and the long-term outcome of 'refractory' secretory otitis media (SOM), defined as continuous SOM for more than 6 years, were studied in 52 young patients. They had during childhood been treated for bilateral SOM on average for 12 years (range 6 to 26 years). The mean interval between resolution of SOM and examination was 7 years. Methods: At follow up the patients' medical r
This study examines the extent to which the foundations of Germany's Israel-Staatsräson are reformulated in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's public rhetoric between October 2023 and March 2024, through a qualitative comparative argumentative analysis of two speeches. The first one being Regierungserklärung before the Bundestag on 12 October 2023. And the second one being a press statement in Jerus
Surveillance of group A streptococcal (GAS) infections was undertaken as a major component of the European Commission-funded project on severe GAS disease in Europe (strep-EURO). One aim of strep-EURO was to improve the quality of GAS characterization by standardization of methods. An external quality assurance study (EQA) was therefore carried out to evaluate current global performance. Eleven st
Sediment sequences retrieved from Lake Medvedevskoye (60degrees13'N 29degrees54'E) and Lake Pastorskoye (60degrees13'N, 30degrees02'E). Karelian Isthmus, northwestern Russia, were analysed for lithology, pollen and diatom stratigraphy, total organic carbon content and mineral magnetic parameters. Age control for both sequences was provided by AMS C-14 measurements and the Vedde Ash tephra. The rec
Based on high-resolution (R approximate to 42 000 to 48 000) and high signal-to-noise (S/N approximate to 50 to 150) spectra obtained with UVES/VLT, we present detailed elemental abundances (O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, Zn, Y, and Ba) and stellar ages for 12 new microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. Including previous microlensing events, the sample of homogeneously
Sugammadex shows a dose-response relationship for reversal of neuromuscular block (NMB) during propofol anaesthesia. Sevoflurane, unlike propofol, can prolong the effect of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), increasing recovery time. This open-label, randomized, dose-finding trial explored sugammadex dose-response relationships, safety, and pharmacokinetics when administered for reversal of mo
Progressive retroversion of a cemented stem is predictive of early loosening and failure. We assessed the relationship between direct post-operative stem anteversion, measured with CT, and the resulting rotational stability, measured with repeated radiostereometric analysis over ten years. The study comprised 60 cemented total hip replacements using one of two types of matt collared stem with a ro
Background: Few published data link overweight and obesity with measures of quality of life (QoL) including sexual health in men. Objective: To assess the association of overweight/obesity with impairment of physical and psychological QoL and sexual functions in men. Design and setting: Cross-sectional, multicentre survey of 3369 community-dwelling men aged 40-79 (mean +/- S.D., 60 +/- 11) years r
Anesthetized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated pigs were exposed to extreme hypercapnia (PaCO2 approximately 20 kPa) at FiO2 0.4 for 480 min, with (n = 6) or without (n = 6) continuous infusion of isotonic buffers (bicarbonate and trometamol). Arterial pH was higher in buffered animals than controls, 7.21 +/- 0.01 vs 7.01 +/- 0.01 (mean +/- s.e.mean, P < 0.01). Serum osmolality and PaCO2 did
This degree project aimed to produce a standardized food product enriched with 14g polar lipids (PL) and compare its effects on glycemic response and appetite sensations both acutely and following a second meal in healthy individuals. In order to elucidate the viability of enriching a prebaked product with polar lipids researchers spent multiple weeks assessing variations in recipe, cook time, coo
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuropsychiatric condition containing a large spectrum of developmental disorders. The diagnosed condition is increasing among people today. With this in mind, there is also a growing need for competence and experience with services and organizations providing care for this target group. The aim of this study was therefore to examine what competence and experien
This treatise gives constructing principles, hardware ones as well as software ones, for an operator's console adapted to the process computer and DDC software package of the Division of Automatic Control. The console is implemented with a micro computer trademark TRANSINTRO with CPU INTEL 8008. The display unit consists of four registers: "node identity", "parameter identity&qu
This research investigates the construction of air pollution as a risk in local media. The aim of this paper is to map the factors influencing the reporting and response to the risk. As method, a case study and qualitative content analysis of local newspapers in Kraków is used. The first part of the thesis consists of a review of research on environmental risks in media. Further on, an overview o
Principen jura novit curia ålägger domstolen en skyldighet att utreda och tillämpa gällande rätt. Den anses traditionellt även medföra att domstolen inte är bunden av parternas åsikter i rättstillämpningsfrågan, eller har en skyldighet att uppmärksamma parterna ifall den överväger tillämpa rättsregler de inte hänfört sig till. Inkorporeringen av Europakonventionen (EKMR) i svensk rätt har medfört the principle jura novit curia imposes a duty onto the court to investigate and apply the relevant legal rules. Traditionally the principle is also considered to entail that the court is untethered by the parties opinions or instructions concerning the application of the law. Neither is the court compelled to inform the parties whenever it considers applying a legal rule the parties have not refer
This thesis is a terminological study of the Hebrew word s'q. There is an idea among some scholars that the people who heard someone cry using either the Hebrew word for “help!” or “violence!”, was obligated by law to help them. The cry is described with the word s'q. The helper is called “savior”. In this thesis I seek to find out if this idea is merely a moral code or if the law in Tanak
