Under 1900-talet har stormskador på skog ökat vilket är en konsekvens av vårt skogsbruk, en ökad volym av skog, och äldre skogsbestånd. Denna ökning av stormskador har konsekvenser för ekonomi, infrastruktur, skogsägare och samhälle. Samtidigt ändras klimatet successivt, och detta kommer i framtiden att innebära högre temperaturer och ökad nederbörd. Långsamt närmar vi oss ett nytt slags klimat, sDuring the 20th century storm damage in Sweden has increased as a consequence of how the forest has been managed, an increased proportion of forest and older tree stands. The increase of storm damage has consequences for the regional economy, infrastructure, foresters, and the society. At the same time the climate is gradually changing, which means increased temperatures and higher precipitation r

Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of health promoting bacteria in the colon, resulting in homeostasis to the gut environment. It is considered to be the solution of many health-related diseases such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Arabinoxylooligosaccharides, the hydrolysis product of arabinoxylan from plant cell w

Barnpornografibrott innebär att ett barn har utsatts för ett sexuellt övergrepp. Ett övergrepp som dessutom har dokumenterats och kan spridas vidare. I svensk lagstiftning utgör det emellertid inte ett sexualbrott, utan ett brott mot allmän ordning. Till följd av detta har barnet inte en självklar ställning som målsägande, det har istället staten. Om barnet inte har målsägandeställning finns det iWhen a child pornography crime is committed, it means that a child has been subjected to sexual abuse. The abuse has been documented and can be spread. In Swedish law, child pornography crime does not constitute a sex crime; instead, it is a crime against public order. The consequence of this is, that the child is not to be considered the victim in a legal procedure; instead the state has that pos

Flooding is a major risk to the ever increasing urban population, posing a threat to human lives but also causing traffic interruptions, economic losses and pollution. Built up areas are prone to flooding due to the changes of previously pervious surfaces being covered by buildings and impervious pavements, such as asphalt. Furthermore, the resulting increased surface runoff does often not get rou

Min uppsats syftar till att analysera inskränkningar i varumärkesrättslig ensamrätt, där import av de varumärkesskyddade varorna är tillåten mellan medlemsstater utan att rättsinnehavarens tillstånd anskaffas. Den varumärkesrättsliga ensamrätten konsumeras när rättsinnehavaren för ut varan på marknaden själv eller med innehavarens samtycke. En så kallad regional konsumt-ion har vuxit fram genom EUMy thesis aims to analyze the restrictions of trademark proprietor’s exclusive right, where imports of the trademarked goods are permitted between Member States without the authori-zation of the trademark proprietor. A so-called Community exhaustion has emerged through the European Court of Justice, inter alia, Silhouette case and cover all countries in the EU. EU Court's interpretation confir

To identify markers of non-response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) that could be used in the adjuvant setting. Sixteen pathologists of the European Working Group for Breast Screening Pathology reviewed the core biopsies of breast cancers treated with NAC and recorded the clinico-pathological findings (histological type and grade; estrogen, progesterone receptors, and HER2 status; Ki67; mitotic

Angular correlations between unidentified charged trigger (t) and associated (a) particles are measured by the ALICE experiment in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV for transverse momenta 0.25 < p(T)(t,a) < 15 GeV/c, where p(T)(t) > p(T)(a). The shapes of the pair correlation distributions are studied in a variety of collision centrality classes between 0 and 50% of the total hadronic cros

High and low pollen deposition years in the period 1998-2010 were recorded for ten forest-forming trees in Roztocze (SE Poland) using Tauber-style traps. The coincidence of very high/low pollen deposition years recorded in Tauber traps and aerobiological data obtained by volumetric samplers shows that these phenomena occur simultaneously in different places across vast areas of a tree's distributi

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) produce rhythmic behaviour across all animal phyla. Cnidarians, which have a radially symmetric nervous system and pacemaker centres in multiples of four, provide an interesting comparison to bilaterian animals for studying the coordination between CPGs. The box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora is remarkable among cnidarians due to its most elaborate visual system.

This paper presents measurement results of electricity use and lighting conditions in individual office rooms located in Lund, Sweden. The aim is to demonstrate the energy saving potential by using different lighting systems and the satisfaction of users. The measurements are carried out in one empty reference room and four fully occupied test rooms equipped with different electric light control s

The possibility to reduce dependence on fossil fuel resources has led to an increasing interest in the use of bio-fuels. This study builds on earlier work on (aromatic) cyclic oxygenates [1,2], but a far wider window of engine operation has been investigated in this paper. Two parametric variations of engine operation were performed and discussed: (1) non-EGR operation by means of varying the load
