Recent trends of permafrost thawing in the subarctic are expected to cause increased release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to inland waters, which might have cascading effects on downstream aquatic ecosystems and release of CO2 to the atmosphere. This study therefore aimed at evaluating the applicability of an empirical band ratio algorithm for estimating chromophoric dissolved organic matter
Moraxella catarrhalis, a gram negative bacterium has the rare ability to bind to immunoglobulins without inducing an immunological response. M. catarrhalis is known to cause several respiratory tract infections, such as otitis media, sinusitis and it can elevate symptoms of COPD. The immunoglobulin D (IgD)-binding protein of M. catarrhalis is a 200 kDa outer membrane autotransporter capable of bin
Barnets bästa ska vara avgörande vid alla beslut som rör vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Vid bedömningen av barnets bästa skall hänsyn tas till barnets vilja med beaktande av barnets ålder och mognad. Det framgår tydligt av såväl FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter (barnkonventionen) och av svensk lag. Lagtexten ger endast vägledande riktlinjer när det gäller bedömningen av barnets bästa för att uThe best interest of the child should always be decisive in all decisions concerning custody, accommodation, and relations of the child. When assessing what is best for the child the will of the child should be considered. Moreover, the will of the child should be evaluated according to two affecting factors; age and maturity. This clearly appears in the Convention on the Rights of the Child prese
The increasing focus, in recent decades, on regions as the primary actor in economic growth and development has led to tensions concerning the responsibilities for regional development between the regions and the nation states. This essay presents the allocation of responsibility between the region and the state, as a case study of the transport infrastructure planning in the Greater Copenhagen cr
Syftet med föreliggande psykoterapeutexamensuppsats var att undersöka arbetsförmåga och tidiga tecken på utmattning hos psykiatripersonal i Sverige. Vidare syftade studien till att undersöka samvariation mellan arbetsförmåga och grad av utmattning samt om faktorer såsom arbetsplats och yrkestitel samvarierade med tecken på begynnande utmattning. En enkät bestående av demografiska variabler, Lund U
Framtagning av nya produkter som är konkurrenskraftiga ur ett helhetsperspektiv kräver att flera olika avdelningar och kompetenser samverkar. Examensarbetet studerar hur detta kan genomföras på bästa sätt. Begreppet tvärfunktionell samverkan definieras som: Hur väl olika funktioner arbetar mot ett gemensamt mål. Projektet undersöker hur svenska företag ser på tvärfunktionell samverkan, vilka konk
Waste is a growing environmental problem, especially organic waste that decomposes and generates large emissions of methane. In controlled environments, the methane emissions could instead be used to reduce the use of virgin substances, example fossil fouls. A good waste management is therefore of most importance which sometimes can be difficult to achieve. The waste management is particularly dif
This thesis investigates environmental justice through the lens of the Sustainability Prism Model. Its purpose is to assess a post-industrial focus on environmental sustainability in the built environment using the four aspects of the Sustainability Prism: economy, ecology, equity, and livability. The study of eco-gentrification – the inequities that result as a consequence of the implementation o
Kraftringens geotermianläggning i Lund har varit i drift sen 1984. Det är den enda stora geoter-miska anläggningen i Sverige. Efter mer än 30 års drift är det dags att utvärdera hur det har fungerat. Arbetet be-skriver de geologiska förutsättningarna som stratigrafi (formation), formationstemperatur, typ av akvifer, porositet, permeabilitet och vattenkemi, samt driftdata, systemuppbyggnad, funktio
Today, approximately 55% of the total global population lives in urban areas, while in Europe the number is higher than 70%, and both figures are expected to continue growing during the next decades. At the same time, cities are facing an increasing number of challenges, such as sea level rise, increased temperatures, air quality and more extreme weather events. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), altho
Metacognition is necessary for learning. Without know-ing what you know, what you don’t know and what you are about to learn, seeking new knowledge becomes both hard and inefficient. At the same time, keeping old facts (as well as old skills) in mind at a meta-level when striv-ing for new insights is not always an easy task. Conse-quently, external visible cues and representations are essential, r
In recent years, it has become increasingly recognized that the traditional production-based methods for calculations of greenhouse gas emissions have shortcomings. This is justified by the fact that such inventories only include emissions that occur within a particular geographical area. As major emissions also arise as a result of imports of goods and services and from international travel, such
