Scientific summary Satellite imagery has been used to produce highly accurate land cover maps, even effectively discriminating between vegetation types. While land cover classification based on differences in pixel values in one or more spectral bands is an effective way of mapping large areas, the coarse resolution of freely available satellite images is not suitable for mapping urban environment
Inom EU:s konkurrensrätt kan man se utvecklingen av en mer begränsad domstolsprövning, samt ett mer ekonomiskt syn- och tillvägagångssätt. Vid studie av artikel 102 EUF-fördraget, är det vidare uppenbart att dominanta företag måste förlita sig på analys och bevis av ekonomisk art för att påvisa att missbruk av dominerande ställning inte är för handen. Något som emellertid rimmar dåligt med en situWithin the field of competition law one can outline two developments, namely that of a limited judicial review and secondly that of a ‘more economics-based’ approach. In studying Article 102 TFEU, it is evident that dominant companies must rely upon economic evidence and reasoning in order to show that an abuse of dominance has not taken place. This application of the article, however, works poorl
Cardiovascular (CVD) is one of the most common causes of mortality. Apart from known causal risk factors such as smoking, obesity, dyslipidaemia and hypertension, chronic psychological stress has been suggested as a possible independent risk marker, also because the CVD burden follows a social gradient. Another self-reported variable is self-rated health (SRH) which in many studies has ben shown t
The dynamic properties of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) are of fundamental importance for the understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of microalbuminuria and proteinuric diseases. In the studies of this doctoral thesis the properties of the rat glomerular filtration barrier were investigated under resting conditions and following a number of challenges using highly sensitive
Background: Obstructed labour is still a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and of adverse outcome for newborns in low-income countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of individual and health facility factors and the risk for obstructed labour and its adverse outcomes in south-western Uganda. Methods: A review was performed on 12,463 obstetric records for the year
Based on spectra from F and G dwarf stars, we present elementalabundance trends in the Galactic thin and thick disks in the metallicityregime -0.8< [Fe/H < +0.4. Our findings can besummarized as follows. 1) Both the thin and the thick disks show smoothand distinct abundance trends that, at sub-solar metallicities, areclearly separated. 2) For the alpha -elements the thick disk showssignatures of c
MAIN QUESTION: To compare the diagnostic properties of Endorette and D&C in women with postmenopausal bleeding, to relate the properties to endometrial thickness as measured by ultrasound, and to assess the women's experiences of the two methods. METHODS: In a prospective study, 133 consecutive women with postmenopausal bleeding were examined with transvaginal ultrasound. After measuring the e
För nästan en miljard år sedan kolliderade den sydvästra delen av den skandinaviska kontinentalplattan (Baltica) med en annan kontinentalplatta. Detta skapade en gigantisk bergskedja liknande Himalaya. Med tiden eroderade Jordens naturliga processer ned vad som en gång var en hög bergskedja till dagens låglänta och småkulliga landskap . De unika bergartsassociationerna i sydvästra Sverige är de enEclogitized mafic bodies in the Ullared Deformation Zone (UDZ) of SW Sweden are evidence for high-pressure metamorphism and deformation related to continent collision during the Sceconorwegian orogeny. A petrographic study was performed on ten samples taken from a profile transecting the UDZ, with the aim of further characterizing the rocks within the eclogite bearing deformation zone. The UDZ is
Brown seaweeds are marine macro algae, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in food products in Europe. Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta are fast growing brown seaweeds species in European countries, mainly found in Norway and cold waters of the North Atlantic. These species are known to be rich sources of iodine, protein, polyphenols, carbohydrates and micronutrients like
Det komplexa regelverk som omgärdar fåmansföretagen har varit omdebatterat sedan dess införande på 1970-talet, och inte heller det kapitalandelskrav som infördes år 2014 har undgått kritik. Syftet med kapitalandelskravet är att endast de delägare som äger mer än fyra procent av kapitalet i ett fåmansföretag ska kunna utnyttja den förmånliga löneunderlagsregeln. Denna regel kan ge upphov till storaThe complex regulatory system for close companies has been debated since its introduction in the 1970s, and the capital share requirement introduced in 2014 did not escape criticism. The purpose of the capital share requirement is to limit the usage of the favourable, salary- based rule to those holding more than four percent of the company’s total capital. Using the salary-based rule can lead to
In recent years, many scholars have observed increasing polarization in the distribution of labor market risk, as well as social and employment rights. This phenomenon is often referred to as labor market dualization, a process deepening the divide between privileged insiders and less fortunate outsiders. Some authors have begun to search for a possible insider-outsider divide in policy preference
All around in our bodies – inside and on top of cells, as well as in the extracellular matrix (ECM) – complex carbohydrate chains known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are to be found. While some of their properties are known, many functions and biosynthetic pathways remain undiscovered. Heparin is one of the GAGs whose function in the body is not completely known, however, it has been used as an ant
This thesis examines the question how the funding provided by public authorities to undertakings imposed with the obligation to discharge services of general economic interest as compensation for the services provided is to be treated under the EC State aid rules. The thesis in this respect both analyses the current legal framework governing such funding and evaluates different alternative solutio
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur de senaste årens effektivisering inom socialpolitiken förändrat socialtjänsten och dess arbete, med utgångspunkt i Försäkringskassans ändrade regler. Försäkringskassans nya regler som trädde i kraft i juli 2008, har inneburit att sjukpenningen är begränsad till ett år. Regeringen har på så sätt implementerat arbetslinjen i sjukförsäkringen så tiThe purpose of this essay has been to investigate how the latest years of effectiveness in social politics has changed the social services and their work with starting point in the changed rules for social insurance in form of sickness leave. The new rules which emerged in July 2008 have meant that sickness benefits is limited to one year. This occurred in the time when labour market policy become
The chemosensory gene families of insects encode proteins that are crucial for hostlocation, mate finding, oviposition, and avoidance behaviors. The insect peripheralchemosensory system comprises odorant receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs),ionotropic receptors (IRs), odorant binding proteins (OBPs), chemosensory proteins(CSPs), and sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs). These protein fam
Whilst many studies have been performed to investigate the spectral induced polarization (SIP) response of Non-aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) contaminated soil samples there are still many uncertainties in the interpretation of the data. A key issue is that altered pore space geometries due to the presence of a NAPL phase will change the measured IP spectra. However, without any information on the NA
Widespread species often show extensive phenotypic variation due to the contrasting abi-otic and biotic factors that shape selective pressures in different environments. In this context, the gradual and predictable patterns of variation in climatic and environmental conditions found in mountain areas offer a great opportunity to explore intraspecific phenotypic variation. For instance, temperature
Objective: As digital technologies for health continue to develop, the ability to provide primary care services to patients with new symptoms will grow. In Sweden, two providers of digital primary care have expanded rapidly over the past years giving rise to a heated debate with clear policy implications. The purpose of the study is to present a descriptive review of digital primary care as curren
