The respiratory gas exchange and ventilation during an incremental cycle exercise test were analysed in a group of 19 healthy, moderately fit men. Different computer algorithms were used to estimate the VO2 values where: (i) the rate of VCO2 increase just exceeds the rate of VO2 increase (DX, derivative crossing), (ii) VCO2/VO2 = 1·00 (PX, point of crossing) and (iii) ventilation (VE) increases di

A sequence in the Upper Silurian Oved-Ramsasa Group in Scania, Sweden has been investigated sedimentologically and geochemically. This sequence represents a regressive marine succession. The sedimentary structures and the rapid vertical changes in lithologies and the lateral variability of beds indicate a tide-dominated sedimentation in a shallow epeiric sea, where even small oscillations in sea w

Stock market movements forecast based on sentiment analysis is certainly a field worth investigating. Being able to build future investment strategies based on forecasted stock returns would be of tremendous importance for individual investors and high-frequency trading firms. This thesis aims to closely investigate the impact that tweet sentiments in Twitter have on stock market movements; it int

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many reports of an increase in teenage pregnancy in developing countries. The media portrays girls as more vulnerable to gender-based violence and forced marriage in times of crisis, leading to a worsening situation of early pregnancy. Yet, few studies have been done to explore how this development problem has been shaped and reconstructed during the COVID-1

The Nordic countries collaborate in setting recommendations for intake of nutrients by publishing the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR). Studies exploring how well the Nordic population adheres to the NNR are limited and none are available for the metabolic syndrome (MetS) subgroup. Individuals with MetS are a large part of the adult Nordic population and their diet's nutritional quality is o

Background. Randomized trials have shown that icodextrin reduces the volume of extra-cellular fluid (ECFv) with variable effects on residual renal function. To explore this fluid shift and its possible mechanisms in more detail, prospectively collected data from one such trial, including measures of inflammation (C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-a, albumin and low and high molecular weigh

This study focuses on the relationship between education and economic growth, specifically the effect a potential decline in schooling caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic would have on the economic growth of a country. Using an inductive approach, the study focuses on the Sub- Saharan African countries, especially Kenya, since there is anecdotal evidence that a significant number of students h

Road traffic accidents in Sweden are today registered in the national database called STRADA (Swedish Traffic Accident Data Acquisition). To every accident information is gathered, but an efficient way of compiling this information is lacking. In countries like Germany or Denmark accidents are classified by the type of manoeuvre that leads to the accident. With help from reference tables, every m

Denna uppsats har studerat säkerhetsrådets mandat under artikel 41 i FN-stadgan, enligt vilken rådet kan besluta om icke-militära sanktioner för att upp-rätthålla internationell fred och säkerhet. I artikeln nämns exempel på ekono-miska och diplomatiska sanktioner, så som vapenembargon eller upphörande av ekonomiska förbindelser, men artikeln är inte uttömmande och befogenhet-erna under artikeln äThis thesis has studied the Security Council mandate under Article 41 of the UN Charter, according to which the Council can decide on non-military sanc-tions to maintain international peace and security. The article mentions exam-ples of economic and diplomatic sanctions, such as arms embargoes and inter-ruption of economic relations, but the article is not exhaustive. The method used is a legal d

The purpose of this essay was to obtain knowledge of how some young people in Sweden experiences institutional care. Our main questions were: Do the young people feel that they can participate their treatment? Do the young people feel that their days at the institution seem meaningful? Do the young people feel that they get information about their treatment plan? Have the young people any knowledg

Delaktighet och inflytande i mitt liv är ledorden i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS-lagen). 1994 trädde lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) i kraft. Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade är en pluslag, med det menas att den individ som har stöd i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade får inskränka på de rät

The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is a redlisted freshwater turtle species and a protected species in France. It is relying strongly on immerged habitats for most of its active life cycle, but depends also on land habitats for egg deposition. As most wetland species, it is undergoing severe pressures due to the reduction and degradation of its habitats. In the Mediterranean, rises in sal

När företag använder sig av leverantörer i andra delar av världen kan det inträffa brott mot vad som ofta uppfattas som grundläggande etiska normer. Exempelvis kan det förekomma dåliga arbetsvillkor, barnarbete och miljöförstöring. Eftersom rättssystemen i vissa av dessa länder inte lyckas förebygga dessa kränkningar av bland annat mänskliga rättigheter, placeras ansvaret i stället på företagen. FAs corporations are using suppliers in different parts of the world, crimes against what may be regarded as central ethical norms can occur. As an example, there can be cases of sweated labour, child labour and pollution. As the judicial systems in some countries fail to prevent such crimes against, inter alia, human rights, responsibility is instead placed on the companies. NGO:s, media and the e

Residential segregation is seen as a growing problem within many urban areas today. Segregation is assumed to hamper social integration and the life-chances of disadvantaged as well as creating instability in society. One policy measure to deal with residential segregation is to increase the variation in the housing structure. This is assumed to create a social mix, that in turn will generate posi

Development, where agriculture is a central component, is today often related to different aspects of sustainability. Sustainable development is argued to be most effective when implemented on a local level where non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are usually active agents. The implementation of sustainable practices, such as sustainable agriculture, could hence be argued to depend upon the eff

Europeiska Unionens system för handel med utsläppsrätter, EU ETS, syftar till att på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt reducera mängden växthusgaser som släpps ut av industriella verksamheter runt om i unionen. Interaktioner med andra styrmedel befaras kunna minska systemets effektivitet, därför har unionen försökt undvika sådana. Trots detta har svenska myndigheter ansett sig både berättigade och motive

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is of great interest to me for many reasons; particularly, I want to stress the Palestinian Christian’s position in the current situation. The Palestinian Christians belong to several denominations, of which I have chosen to focus on two minority churches: the Lutheran and the Anglican. My intention is to find if, and how, the situation affects the liturgy of these

The current patterns of consuming and producing German coffee cause environmental impacts. Identifying the most relevant environmental impacts (hot spots) along the global value chain of German coffee is the first step to improve its environmental performance. Hot spots need immediate attention from companies, practitioners, and scientists in order to create sustainable solutions. The purpose of
