Objectives: Health promotion is on the global agenda. The risks targeted include smoking, hazardous alcohol consumption, nutrition and insufficient physical activity. Implementation of clinical health promotion, however, remains a major challenge. While several processes, models and frameworks for strategic implementation exist, very few have been tested in randomized designs. Testing a strategic

Climate reconstructions from data sensitive to past climates provide estimates of what these climates were like. Comparing these reconstructions with simulations from climate models allows to validate the models used for future climate prediction. It has been shown that for fossil pollen data, gaining estimates by inverting a vegetation model allows inclusion of past changes in carbon dioxide valu

The Garden Warbler is a classic subject for the study of Palaearctic-African bird migration strategies. Most studies have considered the situation close to the breeding areas, while the African and especially the sub-Saharan part of the species' migration have received comparatively little attention. Here we use autumn and spring ringing data from Nigeria and The Gambia to study the movements and

Many vertebrate animals are known to have multiple sites for photoreception that are not involved in vision. Extraretinal photoreception is indicated to play a crucial role in early development, physiology and behavior, as well as in later biological processes. This thesis encompasses four studies investigating the neuromorphological, neurochemical and molecular basis for extraretinal photosensiti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom mer än 80% av världens samlade energianvändning är beroende av förbränning i någon form är vidare kunskap om förbränningsprocessen viktig. Fortsatt effektivisering av förbränningsprocessen är idag högaktuell för uppbyggnad av framtidens mer miljövänliga energisystem och för utvecklingen utnyttjas omfattande diagnostikarbeten. Inom området anses diagnostik med hThe thesis deals with the further development of pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (RCARS) for improving the capabilities of gas phase thermometry. The main effort has been to make the technique more robust when employed under a wide range of temperatures and operational conditions. A primary aim has been to investigate the impact of collisional broadening on N2 RCARS thermom

The aim of this study was to verify the advanced inhomogeneous dose distribution produced by a volumetric arc therapy technique (RapidArc) using 3D gel measurements and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The TPS (treatment planning system)-calculated dose distribution was compared with gel measurements and MC simulations, thus investigating any discrepancy between the planned dose delivery and the actu

Cancer patients with advanced disease and short-survival expectancy were given hospital-based advanced home care (AHC) or conventional care (CC), according to their preference. The two groups were compared at baseline to investigate whether there were differences between the AHC and the CC patients that may help explain their choice of care. The patients were consecutively recruited over 2(1/2) ye

Planeter är mycket vanliga i vår galax. De senaste 20 åren har man upptäckt att de flesta solliknande stjärnor har planeter kretsande omkring sig. Man vet också att det finns en stor variation av exoplaneter. Runt 50\% av alla solliknande stjärnor har superjordar (planeter med en massa eller radie mellan jordens och Neptunus) kretsande tätt intill sig vilket gör solsystemet otypiskt. Man har hittaOver the past 20 years we have discovered that exoplanets are common in the Galaxy, and are far more diverse than anyone expected. Half of all Sun-like stars are accompanied by at least one super-Earth (a planet with a size between Earth and Neptune), many planets have very high eccentricities indicative of a dynamical origin, and a small fraction of stars are accompanied by hot Jupiters, whose or

Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera argumentationen bakom kriminaliseringen av eget bruk av narkotika, det så kallade konsumtionsförbudet, vilket utgör en del utav brottet ringa narkotikabrott som återfinns i 2 § Narkotikastrafflagen. För att analysera lagstiftarens argumentation i förarbetena ges i uppsatsen en rättsfilosofisk bakgrund till kriminaliseringens och bestraffningens rättfärdigandThis essay aims to analyse the arguments leading up to the criminalisation of the use of narcotics, the so-called Consumption Ban, which is part of 2 § in the Swedish code (1968:64) on the Criminalisation of Narcotics. In order to analyse the arguments made by the legislator in the preparatory work, this essay presents a legal philosophy background as to the justification of the criminalisation

För människan är en grundläggande miljökvalitet en nödvändig förutsättning för liv och livskvalitet. Eftersom vi vill leva är miljökvalitet eftersträvansvärt. För människan är även förutsebarhet en viktig förutsättning då den gör det möjligt att planera sin tillvaro och känna trygghet. För att få förutsebarhet är juridik ett viktigt medel. Det kan dock finnas ett spänningsförhållande mellan juridiFor humankind, an elementary level of quality in the environment is a necessary precondition for life and life quality. Therefore, it is also desirable since we want to live. For humankind, foreseeability is also an important precondition since it makes it possible to plan one’s life and feel secure. In order to get foreseeability, law is an important means. However, there can be a tension between

I look at a specific local currency scheme (the Bristol Pound, in Bristol, United Kingdom) through a transitions perspective, employing a Transitions Evaluation Framework, Multi-Level and Multi-Phase Perspectives to conduct my analysis. I use a qualitative triangulation approach to collect data, namely semi-structur

Ett mycket ofta debatterat ämne är vad som ska omfattas inom straffansvaret för våldtäkt och hur den rättsliga prövningen ska gå till. Genom den debatt som förevarit har tankar och idéer kring begreppet våldtäkt som sådant uppkommit. Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats är därför att närmare undersöka begreppet våldtäkt och dess innebörd över tiden. Uppsatsen avser att besvara om och i vilkenA topic very often debated is what should fall within the crime definition for rape and how the judicial proceedings should be formed. Thoughts and ideas about the term rape have emerged from the debate that has taken place. The overall purpose of this essay is therefore to examine the meaning of rape and how the meaning of rape has developed over time. What this essay intends to answer is if, and

Hur bra förser de urbana träden i Malmö pollinerare med mat? Antalet pollinerande insekter minskar. En av de främsta anledningarna till detta är förlust av blomresurser till följd av ett ändrat användande av landskap. I jämförelse med allt mer homogena jordbrukslandskap kan städer potentiellt bidra med mer födoresurser för vilda bin och andra pollinerare. Träd, som utgör en stor komponent av urbPollinating insects are declining due to several threats, one being a loss of flower resources because of a change of land use. With rural agricultural areas becoming more homogenous, urban areas might provide refuge for pollinating insects. The main aim of this study was to investigate how the trees in the city of Malmö, Sweden, contribute with food resources, i.e. nectar and pollen, both spatial

Analysis of in situ and satellite data shows evidence of different regional snow cover responses to the widespread warming and increasing winter precipitation that has characterized the Arctic climate for the past 40-50 years. The largest and most rapid decreases in snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow cover duration (SCD) are observed over maritime regions of the Arctic with the highest precipita

Kreditsäkerheter i fartyg kan upplåtas genom ett flertal olika konstruktioner. Denna uppsats avhandlar tre utav dessa varianter; sjöpanträtt i fartyg, retentionsrätt och ägarförbehåll till helt fartyg. Sjöpanträtt i fartyg är en legal panträtt som i princip inte kan upplåtas genom avtal. Sjöpanträtt uppkommer som en giltig sakrätt endast för sådan skada som har ett direkt samband med fartygets veCredit securities in ships can be provided for by several different constructions. This thesis focuses on three of these varieties; maritime liens in ships, right to retention and title reservations in ships. Maritime liens in ships is a legally granted right that principally cannot be obtained by contractual agreements. Maritime liens evolve as a valid right in rem only for such situations speci

Av skuldprincipen följer att ett brott inte föreligger såvida gärningen inte företagits med uppsåt. I uppsåtsrekvisitet ligger ett allmänt krav på medvetenhet. Uppfyllande av detta krav utgör en nödvändighet för att uppsåt ska anses föreligga. Vart gränsen för medvetenhet går har utformats i praxis och doktrin och bedömningen åligger domstolarna. Medvetenhetskravet torde bli särskilt aktuellt i dThe guilt principle means that one cannot be punished for something they are not guilty of. In order to be found guilty one must be considered to be somewhat aware of what they are doing (a sort of ‘awareness requirement’). This requirement constitutes a necessity in order to be found guilty of a crime. The extent of awareness which is required has been embodied as a result of case law and legal d

The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an energy conversion device that uses hydrogen as fuel to produce electrical energy. The fuel cell is, however, very sensitive toward CO, thus, amounts over 10 ppm will poison the Pt-based anode part of the fuel cell. Preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO-PROX) is considered to be the most efficient way of eliminating CO to such low con
