Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna rättssociologiska studie handlar om tvångsomhändertagna missbrukares rättssäkerhet under tiden i vård. Författaren undersöker begreppet rättssäkerhet i förhållande till tvångsvårdens verkställighet på så kallade LVM-hem i syfte att finna en begreppsdefinition som är operationaliserbar vid studier av rättssäkerhetens upprätthållande. Med utgångspunkt i resultaten Compulsory treatment and care is regulated by the Care of Alcoholics and Drug abusers Act (Lag (1988:870) om vård av missbrukare i vissa fall, LVM). The regulation's main purpose is to motivate persons with addictive problems to voluntarily participate in the treatment of their problems. The compulsory care shall continue for a maximum period of six months in special treatment centres (the so-call

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varför beslutar politiker ibland att vidta till synes effektlösa åtgärder? Varför uppstår ibland stora politiska konflikter i små frågor? I vanliga fall vidtar man en politisk åtgärd därför att man eftersträvar det konkreta resultatet av åtgärden. Symbolpolitik är när en politisk fråga blir viktig, inte beroende på vad den konkret innebär och leder till, utan på grund aSymbolic politics is the degree to which political decision-making is motivated, not by the tangible aspects of the decision, but by the interpretation of what the decision represents symbolically. While symbolic politics is widely recognized as an important aspect of political decision-making, the phenomenon is insufficiently explored in political science. The first aim of the present dissertatio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Datorgrafik handlar om att övertyga betraktaren. En huvuduppgift är att generera verklighetstrogna bilder utifrån tredimensionella modeller. Med hjälp av datorer simuleras hur dessa modeller interagerar med ljus. Betraktaren skall helst inte reflektera över om bilden han ser är ett fotografi eller en helt och hållet genererad bild. I denna avhandling presenteras algoritModern graphics hardware pipelines create photorealistic images with high geometric complexity in real time. The quality is constantly improving and advanced techniques from feature film visual effects, such as high dynamic range images and support for higher-order surface primitives, have recently been adopted. Visual effect techniques have large computational costs and significant memory bandwid

Xylanases without contaminating cellulases are produced by a wide variety of aerobic bacteria and fungi but anaerobic organisms producing such enzymes are rare. Clostridial species viz., Clostridium beijerinckii LU-1, C. acetobutylicum LU-1, C. butyricum and C. bifermentans LU-1 isolated from rumen produced xylanase (E.C. 3.2.1.8) of 1.5-4.2 U/ml on oat spelt xylan as sole carbon source. Cellulose

Kinetics and equilibria for the formation of a 1:1 complex between palladium(II) and chloroacetate were studied by spectrophotometric measurements in 1.00 mol . dm(-3) HClO4 at 298.2 K. The equilibrium constant, K, of the reaction Pd2+ + HL reversible arrow PdL+ + H+ was determined from multi-wavelength absorbance measurements of equilibrated solutions at variable temperatures as log(10)K (298.2K)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid tillagning av kött, och framför allt stekning och grillning, bildas mutagena ämnen i stekskorpan. Dessa ämnen benämns heterocykliska aminer. Flera epidemiologiska studier har visat ett samband mellan uppkomsten av cancer och intaget av heterocykliska aminer, medan några studier inte finner något samband. Ämnena har också visat kunna utveckla tumörer och cancer i djuCommonly cooked meat dishes contain heterocyclic amines (HAs) at ng/g levels. HAs are animal carcinogens, form DNA adducts in human tissues, and have been associated with increased risk of cancer in epidemiological studies, and it is thus recommended that human intake be decreased. The aim of this investigation was to find ways of modifying cooking practices to reduce the formation of HAs. Various

Popular Abstract in Swedish En av dagens största utmaningar är de stadigt ökande utsläppen av förorenande avgaser och drivhusgaser. Den största delen av dessa föroreningar kommer från förbränningsanläggningar och fordon. För att kunna minska utsläppen måste man förstå förbränningsprocesserna, och hur man kan kontrollera förbränningen. Utmaningen är att förbränningprocesser är mycket komplexa. Det To deal with complex physical and chemical processes in reactive systems, such as combustion processes, it is necessary to find methods that simplify modelling in such a way that it becomes both more comprehensible and practically useful. In the work reported here a method for automatically reducing chemical reaction mechanisms has been developed for use in computer simulations of various combusti

This course is offered in the Technology Management Programme (TM) at Lund University, Lund, Sweden. The incentive for developing the new course was the need for a more integrated and practical approach where technical, customer and application problems from reality confront

The whole society is digitalizing, filled with streaming services, cloud computing and an ambition of ubiquitous connectivity. To address the data demand, ultra-fast broadband, at the speeds of 1Gbps and more, is developed and deployed. Optical fibers have been long viewed as a future-proof carrier for the ultra-fast broadband. However, the physical deployment of fiber networks, including digging,

Magnetic resonance imaging enables detailed in vivo study of complex flow through 3D, time-resolved phase contrast imaging (4D flow). 4D flow may reveal previously unknown aspects of the physiology of intracardiac blood flow, and possibly elucidate pathophysiological processes that have yet to manifest themselves outside the heart.The purpose of this thesis is to examine the physiological role of

Growing planets interact with their natal protoplanetary disc, which exerts a torque onto them allowing them to migrate in the disc. Small mass planets do not affect the gas profile and migrate in the fast type-I migration. Although type-I migration can be directed outwards for planets smaller than 20−30M⊕ in some regions of the disc, planets above this mass should be lost into the central star lo

Does treating high blood pressure improve neurodegeneration High blood pressure, also called hypertension could damage the brain. Our research tries to understand how lowering blood pressure affects the hypertensive brain. Hypertension is the disease that people have abnormally high blood pressure. Nowadays, 1 in 5 people worldwide have hypertension, accounting for 1.13 billion people. This cause

Mellan cirka 30-50 procent av den mat som produceras i världen årligen kommer aldrig människan tillgodo som föda. Att mat slängs eller på annat sätt går förlorad i livsmedelskedjan är ett stort problem, framför allt för att många människor i världen inte har tillgång till mat men också för att produktionen av livsmedel medför en betydande miljöpåverkan. Vad gäller statistiken över matsvinnet är deIt is estimated that between 30 and 50 percent of the food produced in the world annually will never be consumed by humans. The fact that significant amounts of food are lost or thrown away in the food supply chain is not just an environmental issue; above all it is a huge problem because many people in the world do not have access to food. Lost food and waste appears throughout the whole food sup

Aktivt kol har identifierats som en av de mer effektiva metoderna när det kommer till att avlägsna organiska mikroföroreningar (OMF) från avloppsvatten. Aktivt kol är ett poröst material med stor ytarea som kan adsorbera andra ämnen. Det är inget som existerar naturligt utan behöver framställas. Framställningen kan ske från i princip vilket material som helst som har en hög kolhalt. En stor del avActivated carbon has been identified as one of the more effective methods of removing organic micropollutants (OMP) from wastewater. Activated carbon is a porous material with a large surface area that allows adsorption of other substances. The material does not exist naturally and therefore has to be produced. The production can be done from any carbon-rich material and today the precursor is mai

Authors: Axel Johnsson and Erik Hellberg Supervisor: Andreas Norrman Examiner: Louise Bildsten Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are majorly conducted with the ambition and endeavour of realizing synergies, thereby enabling the merged corporation to generate greater value compared Supply chain synergy analysis – A framework for operational M&A BY AXEL JOHNSSON & ERIK HELLBERG (May 2025) Potential synergistic effects are crucial to the decision of whether M&A transactions should be completed or not, and could be the difference between a failed and successful deal. This is why the study has produced a framework for comprehensive and accurate supply chain synergy

En grundvattenundersökning i ett område präglat av vattenrelaterade problem. Staden Cochabamba i Bolivia står inför flera vattenrelaterade utmaningar såsom brist på ytvatten, en ökande vattenanvändning, urbanisering och en sjunkande grundvattennivå. Samtidigt råder det en brist på kunskap angående de processer som påverkar grundvattnet i området. Något som detta examensarbete ämnar att förändra. The Central Valley of Cochabamba is located in the Andes mountain range, Bolivia. This region experiences several water related challenges such as a scarcity of surface water, an increasing water demand, a growing urbanization in groundwater recharge areas, and a declining water table due to intensive groundwater extraction. The valley has been influenced by both alluvial and fluvial depositions t

Background: B-vitamins are essential for one-carbon metabolism and have been linked to colorectal cancer. Although associations with folate have frequently been studied, studies on other plasma vitamins B2, B6, and B12 and colorectal cancer are scarce or inconclusive. Methods: We carried out a nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, includ

High-Arctic environments are facing an elevated pace of warming and increasing human activities, making them more susceptible to the introduction and spread of alien species. We investigated the role of human disturbance in facilitating the spread of a native plant (Papaver dahlianum) in a high-Arctic natural environment close to Isfjord Radio station and along adjacent hiking trails at Kapp Linné

Popular Abstract in Swedish Länder som strävar efter att kvalificera sig för medlemskap i Europeiska unionen måste genomföra omfattande reformer under kort tid. Som en effekt av anpassningsprocessen till unionens regelverk och politiska, ekonomiska och administrativa kriterier omstruktureras statsapparaten. Detta gäller inte minst i de kandidatländer som samtidigt genomgår radikala transformationsIt is generally recognized that the EU accession process has profound effects on state transformation in the postcommunist applicant countries. A key problem of postcommunism has been a weak ability to implement public policy. This study explores how efforts to fulfill EU conditionality may influence implementing capacity. Firstly, it advances a theoretical framework for this purpose, focusing on

Long-term stability of endosseous implants depends on successful bone formation, ingrowth and adaptation to the implant. Specifically, it will define the mechanical properties of the newly formed bone-implant interface. 3D imaging during mechanical loading tests (in situ loading) can improve the understanding of the local processes leading to bone damage and failure. In this study, titanium screws
