Numerous cost-optimal studies have been undertaken by EU member states to define minimum energy performance requirements for buildings within that member state in accordance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. As few of these studies have examined the effect of heating and ventilation system parameters on life cycle cost (LCC) and energy use in detail, this paper analysed 84 HVAC s
This paper assesses the opportunities for resource- and energy-efficient biojet fuel production from forest-based biomass utilising existing industrial infrastructure in Sweden. Two categories of production pathways are considered: one including technologies that are certified for the production of biojet fuel, and the other uncertified technologies under development. Aspects included are producti
Background: eHealth solutions have often been considered favourable for improved effectiveness and quality in healthcare services for wound management. Staff engagement related to organisational changes is a key factor for successful development and implementation of a new eHealth solution, like a digital decision support systems (DDSS). It is essential to understand the engagement process in term
We compared vaccine effectiveness (VE) against severe COVID-19 during calendar periods from December 2021 to March 2022 when Omicron BA.1 and BA.2, respectively, were the dominating virus variants in Scania county, Sweden. We used continuous density case-control sampling matched for sex and age, and with further adjustment for differences in comorbidities and prior infection. VE remained relativel
Sedan antiken har humanismen försökt definiera den mänskliga naturens väsen samtidigt som den placerar människan i universums centrum som ”alla tings mått”. I ett försök att omvärdera människans betydelse har det talats om ett slags transhumanistisk intersubjektivitet. Jag utgår från fysikern och feministen Karen Barads begrepp intraaktion (samspel mellan integrerade delar). Barad myntar begreppet
Background Preeclampsia is considered a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present case-control study in Sweden was to assess the hypothesized association between low serum vitamin D concentrations in early pregnancy and the risk of developing preeclampsia since vitamin D may play a role in early placental development. Methods The study included 296 women dia
Är doktrinen om ”alla människors lika värde” tillämpbar också på framtida, ännu icke levande personer? Artikeln argumenterar för ett jakande svar och ger därmed ett bidrag till hur denna vanliga moraliska övertygelse ska förstås och ger dessutom nya argument för omsorg gentemot framtida personer. Doktrinen tolkas som en kritik av handlingar och situationer snarare än som en fullständig värdering a
Approximately 20% of the population experience long-term pain. Women are generally more affected than men. Currently, pain researchers advocate a biopsychosocial perspective, which emphasises the importance of addressing psychological and social factors as well as biomedical ones in clinical practice. However, previous research shows that this holistic perspective is not always materialized in med
Despite recent improvement in adjuvant therapies, triple-negative, and ER+ subtypes of breast cancer (BC) with metastatic potentials remain the leading cause of BC-related deaths. We investigated the role of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase alpha (PIP5Kα), a key upstream factor of PI3K/AKT, and the therapeutic effect of PIP5Kα inhibitor on subtypes of BC.

During the last 130 years, a number of exhibitions have interpreted and shown the Danish West Indies. The exhibitions are generally characterized by two tendencies: A rather romantic view on the colonial past with a strong focus on trade and the maritime. 2017 marked the centennial for the transfer of the Danish West Indies from Denmark to the United States. ;ore importantly, perhaps, it also mark
Purpose To develop an infrastructure for structured and automated collection of interoperable radiation therapy (RT) data into a national clinical quality registry. Materials and methods The present study was initiated in 2012 with the participation of seven of the 15 hospital departments delivering RT in Sweden. A national RT nomenclature and a database for structured unified storage of RT data a
Preclinical data suggest that chronic stress may cause cellular damage and mitochondrial dysfunction, potentially leading to the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the bloodstream. Major depressive disorder has been associated with an increased amount of mtDNA in leukocytes from saliva samples and blood; however, no previous studies have measured plasma levels of free-circulating mtDNA in a
How is it that a group that self-identifies as “religious” and is associated with one of the most dramatic events in the United States during the 1980s could receive almost no attention from religious studies scholars? Furthermore, how is it that the court case in which said group was determined to not qualify as a “religion” has been discussed and challenged by legal scholars while being virtuall
I detta arbete har befintliga samarbeten mellan företag i Helsingborg kartlagts. Potential för att utveckla ytterligare samarbeten genom affärsmodellen industriell symbios har analyserats. Industriell symbios innebär att verksamheter, varav minst en industri, gemensamt utnyttjar energi, nyttigheter, material eller service, för att på ett innovativt sätt skapa mervärden samt minska kostnader och miIn this work the existing collaborations between companies in Helsingborg has been identified. The potential to further develop collaborations of industrial symbiosis and the region has been analysed. Industrial symbiosis means that synergies, including at least one industry, who in common use energy, goods, materials or services in an innovative way create added value and reduce costs and environ
Denna kandidatuppsats kommer att redogöra för den varumärkesrättsliga förväxlingsbedömningen. Konflikter gällande förväxling kan uppstå både vid intrångsmål och vid registreringsförfarande. Bedömningen är snårig och komplicerad och många olika faktorer ska tas i beaktande. Det handlar om en helhetsbedömning där det sammantagna resultatet avgör om det finns en risk för att ett yngre varumärke kan fThis thesis statement deals with the likelihood of confusion test used within the area of trade mark law. Conflicts regarding the confusion between trade marks are handled by court in infringement cases and looked upon by the competent offices during registration. The test is complex and many different factors must be taken into account. The test involves an overall evaluation to investigate if a
Today, package has more obligations than just protecting the product. Consumers see the product and package as an integrated part and requires luxurious and prestigious package in order to attract them. This has forced companies to improve their package design to be able to sell their products. Both companies and consumers use it for different reasons but the visibility on the shelf remains the sa
Detta examensarbete utreder frågan om huruvida det är möjligt att omplacera en arbetstagare till en annan jurisdiktion inom dagpendlingsavstånd. Enligt 7 § 2 st. i lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd har arbetsgivaren vanligtvis en skyldighet att bereda arbetstagaren annat arbete hos sig i samband med arbetsbrist som annars skulle leda till uppsägning. Omplaceringsåtgärden kan betraktas som ett sThis graduate thesis examines the question of whether it is possible to redeploy an employee to another jurisdiction within a distance that allows a daily commute. According to Section 7.2 in the Swedish Employment Protection Act (1982:80), the employer usually has an obligation to provide other work in its service for the employee due business-related reasons that otherwise would result in dismis
