The Hieracium flora of westernmost Dalarna, comprising the southern fringe of the Scandes alps (central Scandinavia), is extremely rich in species. The area is dominated by species-poor coniferous sub-alpine and taiga forest, but within this matrix there are small and isolated sites with high species richness of both Hieracium and other plants. Both steep mountain slopes with outcrops of base-rich

2D resistivity modelling was done in order to examine the imaging resolution of 4 different configurations for mapping of fracture zones in bedrock. The studied arrays include Dipole-dipole, Gradient, Pole-dipole and Wenner. A variety of geological models were tested and the imaging possibilities and limitations of the different arrays were analysed. Apart from imaging fracture zones with various

Siljan, central Sweden, is the largest known impact structure in Europe. It was formed at about 380 Ma, in the late Devonian period. The structure has been heavily eroded to a level originally located underneath the crater floor, and to date, important questions about the original size and morphology of Siljan remain unanswered. Here we present the results of a shock barometry study of quartz-bear

Alvars are globally rare habitats with rich and distinctive vegetation-communities. Alvars are found on limestone bedrock which is also subject to quarrying for cement production. The increasing global need for cement results in either expanding existing quarries or the opening of new ones. Current legislation requires the restoration of limestone quarries after they are closed for quarrying and t

We have in our thesis examined energy system for small houses for Skanska Teknik AB. The environment is a current issue in our society and buildings from the past are rarely energy effective, since many houses built during the seventies had heating based on oil or direct electricity. In new buildings it is more and more important to be energy efficient, to meet the demands from our future environm

In the aggregate industry the use of geophysical measuring is rare. The aim of this project is to investigate how geophysical instruments can be a tool in prospecting for rock quarries, and also how they can be a help in which direction they should expand in. To have control over the quality of the aggregates is important and therefore to know when the rock mass is changing is of interest for the

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to evaluate what possible impact an increased use of groundwater may have on the spread of nitrogen pollution. The work is part of a larger project where Sweco Environment AB assists about 40 farmers in the “Köpinge - Vrams vattenförening” to apply for authorization for groundwater use in agricultural irrigation. The work was performed in three steps: a literatur

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjocktarm och ändtarm (colorektal cancer) är en av de vanligaste cancerformerna i västvärlden. Årligen insjuknar drygt 5 000 människor i Sverige i denna sjukdom, och ungefär hälften av dessa dör till följd av sin cancer. De som avlider i colorektal cancer har i de allra flesta fall spridning av tumören till andra organ (metastasering). Levern är den vanligaste Liver is the most common site of dissemination in colorectal cancer, and untreated liver metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. The main reason for trying to detect liver metastases early is that liver resection offers a chance for cure in selected patients. The sensitivity of alkaline phosphatases (ALP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), computed tomography (CT), CT with arterial contrast

Dricksvatten är vårt viktigaste livsmedel och att vattnet vi får ur kranen är rent ser vi som en självklarhet. I Sverige är tillgången på rent grundvatten god tack vare rådande klimat och andra förutsättningar i naturen, men en stor mängd föroreningar och gifter som sprids i miljön riskerar att förorena grundvattnet. Dessa miljöbovar kan förekomma naturligt, till exempel i berggrunden, eller ha siWater is one of our most valuable resources and polluted water is possibly harmful to both humans and the environment. It is hence of great importance to maintain high quality in drinking water to protect human health. A large number of different contaminants and toxins spread in the environment have the potential to contaminate groundwater. One of these pollutants is arsenic originating from ammu

Detaljerad genetisk analys av enskilda blodcancerceller Med hjälp av en nyutvecklad teknik, kallad singel-cell sekvensering, är det numera möjligt att karakterisera en enskild cell i ett prov bestående av tusentals celler och i detalj undersöka dess genetiska information. I denna studie utnyttjas tekniken för att studera celler i ett benmärgsprov från en patient som insjuknat i blodcancersjukdomAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous disease caused by sequential accumulation of mutations in the genome of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) or myeloid precursors, giving rise to formation of leukemia stem cells (LSC). More than 200 recurrent mutations have been described, although each patient will carry a small subset of these. The mutations are used as a basis for classificati

År 2018 ändrades reglerna för förmånsbeskattning av privatfinansierad vård som arbetsgivare betalar åt sina anställda. Tidigare var sådan vårdförmån inte skattepliktig för den anställde och icke avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren, men värdet ska nu tas upp till beskattning i inkomstslaget tjänst och istället är kostnaden avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren. Ett huvudsakligt argument för arbetsgivare att stå In 2018, the rules on taxation of private health care and health care insurances that employers pay to their employees were changed. Previously, such care was not to be taxed for the employee and non-deductible for the employer. The value of such service must now be included for taxation for the employee and is instead deductible for the employer. A major argument for employers to bear these costs

Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fjärranalys av skogsskövling längs med den trans-amzoniska motorvägen Skogsskövling är ett av de större miljöproblemen vi har idag. Speciellt snabb har skövlingen varit i Amazonas regnskog, där minst tjugo procent försvunnit de senaste 40 åren. Fjärranalys används för att uppskatta skogsskövling längs med den transamazoniska motorvägen (BR230). Analysen utDeforestation is one of the biggest environmental challenges today. Especially severe has the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest been where at least 20% has been cleared the last 40 years. A time series analysis of deforestation rates between 1984 and 2013 has been performed on several sites close to the Trans-Amazonian highway BR230 in the Amazon and Para states. This is done by applying a su

"Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether inversely planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), using the clinical radiotherapy equipment at hand in our department, renders any advantages regarding dose distribution over conventional radiotherapy for head and neck cancer patients in the ARTSCAN (Accelerated RadioTherapy of Squamous cell Carcinoma in the head And Nec
