Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that attacks a person's nervous system. The disease is incurable and can cause cognitive symptoms such as tremors and impaired movement. A Parkinson's patient has several different caregivers. It is important that the patient has access to palliative care throughout the disease. To assist patients and healthcare providers, a support plan ha
Attracting tourists from all over the world throughout the year, the flourishing of mass tourism in Bali has been perpetual for the last few decades. As both domestic and international tourists increase over time, the demand for built-up areas increases accordingly, which has caused urban expansion exploiting vegetated areas, especially agricultural lands. Consequently, this tourism-led urbanizati
Införandet av uppblåsbara och mekaniska vädertätningarna har sänkt energikostnader genom att eliminera en av de största värmeförlusterna i lagringscenter. Dessa vädertätningar kostar tio tusentals kronor att installera och finns nu i varje lager runt hela Sverige. Denna kostnad gör det dyrt att ersätta en vädertätning ifall den skadas. Största orsaken till att dessa vädertätningar blir förstörda eWith the introduction of inflatable dock shelter bags and curtain docks, money and energy has been saved in solving one of the major heat losses in distributions centres. These dock shelters are now almost on every dock across Sweden and each cost thousands of kronor to install. Therefore, it is expensive for distribution centres to replace them whenever they break. ASSA ABLOY have found a common
What does the relationship between the artistic research and the university library look like? Artistic research has been a practice in Sweden for several decades, but it was first in 2010 that the artistic research was given its own form of third-cycle education. In this study artistic research is intended to be understood as the research within the artistic practice. Therefore, the research
Biodiversity loss has been observed globally. Landscape change and fragmentation are the driving causes of this loss, and urbanisation one of the reasons. Pollinating insects are an important organism group as they contribute to the diversity of the wild flora as well as the global food production by performing the ecosystem service pollination. By taking measures to promote pollinating insects in
This thesis is written as an introductory compilation of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) and its applications. It introduces the concepts of 2DES where the aim is to provide an overview of the technique and a few of its more prominent applications for those who are not already familiar with the technique. 2DES is a third-order optics technique that utilizes three interactions with l
This thesis aims to examine gender norms in parental leave praxes and attitudes towards earmarked paternity leave. The starting point is a forthcoming EU directive on work-life balance for parents and carers that will implement earmarked paternity leave in Denmark by 2022. The empirical data consists of nine semi-structured interviews with six new, first-time parents (three couples). The study set
Moatize district located in Tete province in the center of Mozambique has one of the largest unexploited coal deposits of the world with a capacity of 2.5 billions of tones. Recently many multinational coal mine companies started exploitation of coal in Moatize. Coal exploitation has economical, social and environmental impacts. The main environmental impact is generation of acid mine drainage (AM
In recent decades, population increase and urban development have led to catastrophic environmental consequences. One of the principal objectives to achieve “sustainable development” is to find suitable landfills. Due to their physical characteristics, which have led to a lack of landfill sites and closeness to water bodies, agricultural fields, and residential areas, the cities of Javanrood, Pave
Background: Obtaining reliable data under explicit evaluations is one of the most complicated challenges in assessing drug users' status. Respondents are likely to give answers that are to their advantage or deliberately deceitful. Regarding drug use, intense and inevitable drug craving is known as one of the main causes of relapse and treatment failure. As a matter of fact, drug craving is direct
In 2008, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE TM46 UC) presented an annual-fixed thermal energy benchmark of 240 kWh/m2/yr for university campus (UC) buildings as an attempt to reduce energy consumption in public buildings. However, the CIBSE TM46 UC benchmark fails to consider the difference between energy demand in warm and cold months, as the thermal performance of bu
DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) interrogate the interactions of a target of interest with vast numbers of molecules. DECLs hence provide abundant information about the chemical ligand space for therapeutic targets, and there is considerable interest in methods for exploiting DECL screening data to predict novel ligands. Here we introduce one such approach and demonstrate its feasibilit
The profound impacts on human rights brought about by international and regional trade agreements have increasingly been recognized by scholars in the fields of human rights and trade, as well as international organizations and civil societies. Most notably, the intersection between human rights and trade has been reaffirmed by the United Nations, evidently in the reports by the United Nations Hig
Den inre strukturen och vävnaden hos ben ger information om livsstil hos nutida och utdöda djur. Mosasaurier (familj Mosasauridae) är en grupp sekundärt anpassade marina reptiler som utvecklades och spred sig under sen krita, vilket resulterade i en kropp väl anpassad för marina miljöer. Marina anpassningar hos den här gruppen kan observeras på olika nivåer i skelettanatomin, exempelvis mikrostrukThe inner bone architecture and histology provide information about life history traits of extant as well as extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a group of secondarily adapted marine squamates that radiated in the Late Cretaceous, resulting in the evolution of a body plan adapted for pelagic habitats. Specialisa-tions in this group can be observed at different levels of skeletal a
As informal human settlements grow in some major urban centers throughout the developing world, the problem of poverty is being exacerbated by escalating waste generation. Poor sanitation and substandard living conditions in these settlements pose major health risks for millions of marginalized people. Many have resorted to working informally in unhealthy and unsafe conditions to scrounge through
To explore the potential linkage between distribution of marine bacterioplankton groups, environmental conditions, and water mass, we investigated the factors determining the abundance of bacterial taxa across the hydrographically complex Subtropical Convergence Zone in the Sargasso Sea. Based on information from 16S rRNA gene clone libraries from various locations and two depths, abundances of th
What is woman’s role in the modernist avant-garde? Feminist art historians have long criticised the dominant masculinity of modernism. The problem, as I see it, is the unreflecting way in which history is written, and the way in which women are squeezed into theoretic models that really only affirm, and cater primarily for, men. The German-Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) has been describe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Gråstarrskirurgi är en av de vanligaste kirurgiska ingreppen i Sverige med runt 90 000 operationer utförda varje år. En åldrande befolkning med ökade krav på livskvalitet och god synskärpa har lett till en ökad operationsfrekvens och fler kirurger behöver utbildas. Utbildning av nya gråstarrskirurger sker förutom ett fåtal träningstillfällen på grisar, framförallt på paCataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures in Sweden and around 90 000 operations are made each year. An aging population with increased demands on quality of life and good visual acuity, has led to an increased rate of surgery and more surgeons needs to be trained. Training of new cataract surgeons is done on scarce wet-lab training but mainly on patients. Training is costly a
