A significant part of our cultural heritage consists of wood. Research on historical wooden structures and artefacts thereby provides knowledge of people’s daily lives and the society in which they lived. Dendrochronology is a well-established dating method of wood that can also provide valuable knowledge about climate dynamics, environmental changes, silviculture, and cultural transformations.

According to Swedish legislation (LVM) compulsory treatment shall be decided on if someone, due to ongoing abuse of alcohol, drugs or volatile solvents, is in need of care to overcome abuse and if a voluntary intervention is not possible. Very little research has been conducted in Sweden on this particular legislation with regard to the clients' experiences of entire process from assessment to aft

Assessment of emphysema-modifying therapy is difficult, but newer outcome measures offer advantages over traditional methods. The EXAcerbations and Computed Tomography scan as Lung End-points (EXACTLE) trial explored the use of computed tomography (CT) densitometry and exacerbations for the assessment of the therapeutic effect of augmentation therapy in subjects with alpha(1)-antitrypsin (alpha(1)

The present study collected and analyzed flow boiling data points which fall in the annular flow regime with an increasing heat transfer coefficient h - vapor quality x trend (h increases with increasing x) in small diameter channels (0.1 < dh < 3.1 mm) for halogenated refrigerants, CO2 and water. In this annular flow regime, heat transfer coefficient also depends on both heat flux and mass flux.

Today, the optimization of chromatographic separation is usually based on experimental work and rule of thumb. The process and analytical technology (PAT) initiative, of the US Food and Drug Administration, has provided the opportunity of using model-based approach when designing downstream processing of pharmaceutical substances. A nonlinear chromatography model was used in this study to optimize

An improved conventional-to-micro/minichannel threshold was proposed as Bo = 4 and BoRe(1)(0.5) = 200, where Bo is the Bond number and Re-1 is the liquid Reynolds number. The region Bo < 4 and BoRe(1)(0.5) < 200 is termed as micro/minichannel because bubbles tend to be confined and elongated in the channel and the conventional two-phase flow theory loses its applicability. Flow-pattern based heat

När vi tittar ut i universum ser vi bara materia, även fast vi vet att antimateria finns. Enligt teorin borde antimateria, som är precis som vanlig materia fast med motsatt laddning, producerats i lika stora mängder vid Big Bang. Partikelacceleratorn LHC i Schweiz genererar lika mycket materia och antimateria i partikelkollisioner som påminner om de som skedde i samband med Big Bang. Så det skulleThis thesis investigates the properties of a general scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and its phenomenological consequences with focus on the scalar sector. The concept suggests that introducing more CP-violation, both spontaneous and explicit, may make it possible to meet the Sakharov conditions and account for the Universe's baryon asymmetry. We define a modified renormalization schem

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the inclusion of cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin, affects downside risk in a diversified portfolio. The analysis utilizes a number of performance measures and combines Modern Portfolio Theory with a Post-Modern Portfolio Theory optimization in order to evaluate different portfolios. The portfolios are also benchmarked against a naive diversification

Crime is often committed by a group of individuals while criminal descriptions are designed in such a way that they only aim at the action of an individual. For individuals that have committed a crime with others, but do not meet all the requirements in the current crime description and therefore would avoid responsibility, there are extended perpetrator terms applicable, extending the penal respo

Unemployment has always been a fiercely debated topic in the social debate. Today's modern welfare societies have social protection networks aimed at protecting and helping individuals who, for various reasons, have fallen outside the labor market. These safety nets are aimed at maintaining a reasonable standard of living. Financial aid is the pis aller of the social protection network to prev

Social media has become the most popular communication channel. Large amounts of information flows are being exchanged between users. The information shared on social media is seen as more reliable than the information found on traditional media. Companies have already incorporated social media as one of their communication channels. However, the evolution of social media has occurred in such a br

Restoring cultivated peatlands has become a silver bullet in climate change mitigation policies globally due to peatlands’ potentials to sequester carbon. In Denmark, carbon is the focal point for such interventions but simultaneously conspicuous by its absence in local restoration efforts. Scientific abstractions render carbon visible through maps and models presenting soil’s carbon content, emisRestoring cultivated peatlands has become a silver bullet in climate change mitigation policies globally due to peatlands’ potentials to sequester carbon.

Background: Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE) is overrepresented in patients with diabetes, but the outcome of surgery is unknown. We aimed to evaluate patient-reported outcome in patients with and without diabetes, and to assess potential sex differences and compare surgical treatment methods. Methods: Data on patients operated for UNE (2010-2016, n = 1354) from the Swedish National Regis

Background: Emergency Department (ED) crowding occurs when demand for care exceeds the available resources. Crowding has been associated with decreased quality of care and increased mortality, but the prevalence on a national level is unknown in most countries. Method: We performed a national, cross-sectional study on staffing levels, staff workload, occupancy rate and patients waiting for an in-h

Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are on lifelong immunosuppression, which may interfere with adaptive immunity to COVID-19. The data on dynamics and duration of antibody response in SOTRs are limited. This longitudinal study examined the longevity of both anti-spike (S)- and anti-nucleocapsid (N)-specific IgG antibodies after COVID-19 in SOTRs compared to matched immunocompetent persons.

Covid-19 update Due to the increasing spread of COVID 19 in Skåne, the Public Health Agency of Sweden and the Skåne Regional Council have decided on new regulations and general advice for the region of Skåne. The new recommendations are applicable from now until 17 November 2020. No English version is currently available, but in short, they say that you should: avoid commuting with public transpor
