Abstract in UndeterminedThe purpose of this study is to preliminarily evaluate Chile’s energy and climate policy performance historically (1971-2007). The objective is to estimate different indicators in relation to energy and CO2 emission intensities, and identify policy instruments in the light of estimated trends and related structural issues. The methodology is based on a top-down decompositio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att studera den vanligaste behandlingskomplikationen vid blödarsjuka, antikroppsbildning, samt att studera sambandet mellan genen som orsakar sjukdom och det protein som denna gen kodar för. Det övergripande syftet är att forskningsresultaten ska kunna användas för att förbättra vården för familjer med blödarsjuka (hemofili). Resultaten vThe general objective of the research underlying this dissertation was to conduct clinical and basic scientific studies to further elucidate the hemophilia and the coagulation process, with the goal of improving the care of families with these disorders. More specific aims were to evaluate epidemiological, genetic, clinical, and biochemical aspects of the development of inhibitors (antibodies) aga

Background: We aimed to study the long-term effect of smoking on coronary atherosclerosis progression at the segmental level. Methods: Angiographic data (1989-2017) on current, former, and nonsmokers were collected from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry. The Western Denmark Heart Registry was used to validate the results. Patients with clinically indicated angiography with

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om under vilka omständigheter fängelseförhållanden kan utgöra omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling och därmed kan ligga till grund för uppehållstillstånd i Sverige. Frågeställningen är outforskad ur ett svenskt perspektiv. Det saknas i princip nationell vägledning. En person kan erhålla uppehållstillstånd i Sverige med anledning av omänsklig eller förnedrande behanThis thesis deals with the question of the circumstances in which prison conditions may constitute inhuman or degrading treatment, and thus may form the basis for a residence permit in Sweden. This has not been an area that has been explored to a great extent from a Swedish perspective. A person can obtain a residence permit in Sweden due to inhuman or degrading treatment as a person eligible for

Objectives The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how a new logistic set-up can lower the transportation cost of OEM articles. Four objectives are identified to that end: identify the OEM articles, map their flow, create simulation tool and examine what logistics set-up is suitable. Background The increasing rate of globalization has put immense pressure on the world’s infrastructure. As a re

Uppsatsen studerar företags hantering av råvarurisk ur två olika perspektiv. I uppsatsens första del undersöks företags motiv för att agera på råvarumarknaderna genom djupgående intervjuer av särskilt utvalda företag. Resultat från intervjuerna indikerar att råvarors inflations- och diversifieringsegenskaper är båda starka incitament bakom investerares intresse att handla med råvaror. Uppfattninge

Attackerna mot USA den 11 september 2001 och bristen på legala motåtgärder ledde till att kritiken växte mot begränsningarna i artikel 51 i FN stadgan. På grund av detta började flera stater omvärdera sin rätt till självförsvar och denna omvärdering ledde enligt min mening till att flera stater skyndsamt ändrade sin statspraxis. Denna förändring i statspraxis som fler och fler stater började ta ef

Nordost om Bushveldkomplexen i Kaapvaal kratonen finns en mäktig gångsvärm av nordost-orienterade diabasgångar tillhörande ”the Black Hills dyke swarm”. Med hjälp av U- Pb metoden av mineral baddeleyit daterades fem gångar inom ålderspannet 1.87 - 1.85 Ga, där två av dem ger exakta åldrar på 1852 ± 5 Ma och 1863 ± 7 Ma. Denna gångsvärm är alltså lika gammal som lagergångar tillhörande ”post- WaterThe NE-trending Black Hills dolerite dykes make up a prominent swarm northeast of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in the Kaapvaal craton. Baddeleyite U-Pb dates of five dykes suggest emplacement ages between ca. 1.87 Ga and 1.85 Ga, with two samples yielding robust ages of 1852 ± 5 Ma and 1863 ± 7 Ma. The Black Hills swarm is thus largely coeval with the post-Waterberg dolerite sills (1.88-1.87 Ga) a

The purpose of this study is to examine the international legal instruments specifically addressing the practice of enforced disappearance and analyse if they are sufficient in relation to the gravity and seriousness of the crime. The instruments examined are: the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappe

Barnpornografibrott regleras i 16 kap. 10a§ BrB. Bestämmelsen omfattar nästintill all tänkbar befattning med barnpornografi. De huvudsakliga skälen för kriminalisering är att skydda det enskilda barnet och barn i allmänhet, varav det sist angivna skälet inte preciseras något ytterligare. Alla slags bilder betraktas som straffbara, även tecknade och animerade bilder som inte har någon koppling tillChild pornography is criminalized in chapter 16 10a§ BrB. It regulates almost every aspect of child pornography. The main reasons for criminalization is to protect the individual child and “children in general” (this concept is not further specified) All forms of illustrations are seen as criminal, even drawn or animated ones which do not necessarily depict an actual sexual assault or a real victi

Question: What is the interrater agreement of EEG interpretation in adult comatose post cardiac arrest patients using the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) standardized critical care EEG terminology? Methods: The EEG-data were obtained from patients included in the Target Temperature Management trial (TTM), an international, multicenter, clinical trial of temperature management in c

The preseni paper provides an overview of existing approaches for design and assessment of offshore structures and on this basis proposes a framework for the risk based assessment and monitoring of the performance of offshore wind energy converters in operation. In recognition of the fact that there are presently no established best practices for the assessment and monitoring of offshore wind ener

To avoid discomfort, health care professionals may hesitate to pursue conversations about end of life with patients. Certain tools have the potential to facilitate smoother conversations in this matter. The objective was to explore the experiences of patients in palliative care in using statement cards to talk about their wishes and priorities. Forty-six cards with statements of wishes and priorit

The objective of this chapter is to contribute to the understanding of the growth of this global data-driven market ecology, mainly in order to pinpoint important regulatory challenges, where individual choice and agency, as well as competition, seem undermined. Truly, this development holds many promises for new innovation, some more disruptive than others, but also poses challenges that in this

Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in most developed countries. This work summarizes state-of-the-art, and possible future, diagnostic and evaluation approaches in multiple stages of CVD, including (i) visualization of sub-clinical disease processes, (ii) acute stroke theranostics, and (iii) characterization of post-stroke recov
