Intrastriatal grafts of embryonic mesencephalic tissue can survive in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease, but the degree of symptomatic relief is highly variable and some cases develop troublesome dyskinesias. Here we explored, using clinical assessment and F-18-dopa and C-11-raclopride PET, factors which may influence the functional outcome after transplantation. We observed increase
Declining biological production as a part of an ongoing land degradation process is considered a severe environmental problem in the dry northern and northwestern regions of China. The aim of this study is to develop and adapt a satellite data-driven gross primary production model called Lund University light use efficiency model (LULUE) to temperate conditions in order to map gross primary produc
Soft x-ray emission spectroscopy is a common tool for the study of the electronic structure of molecules and solids. However, the interpretation of spectra is sometimes made difficult by overlaying lines due to satellite transitions or close-lying core holes. Also, irrelevant inner core transitions may accidentally fall in the wavelength region under study. These problems, which often arise for sp
Background: Malaria parasites and related haemosporidian parasites are widespread and may cause severe diseases in birds. These pathogens should be considered in projects aiming breeding of birds for purposes of sustained ex situ conservation. Cranes are the 'flagship species' for health assessment of wetland ecosystems, and the majority of species are endangered. Malaria parasites and other haemo
"This study investigates shopping activities on local high streets. It examines also shopping’s role in shaping these streets into places of meaningful shopping, and important parts of urban landscapes, in the context of global retail restructuring. Södergatan, a local high street in Helsingborg -a middle-sized city in Sweden, is chosen as a case for the inquiry, where was initially established as
The Late Ordovician stratigraphic record integrates glacio-eustatic processes, water-column redox conditions and carbon cycle dynamics. This complex stratigraphic record, however, is dominated by deposits from epeiric seas that are susceptible to local physical and chemical processes decoupled from the open ocean. This study contributes a unique deep water basinal perspective to the Late Ordovicia
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur lär vi oss ett nytt språk och hur påverkas språkinlärningen av de språk vi kan sedan tidigare? Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka hur utvecklingsstadier i inlärningen av ordformer och ordföljd i ett språk påverkas av tidigare inlärda språk (s.k. transfer). Avhandlingen undersöker dels transfer av modersmålet (L1) och dels transfer av andra tidigare förvärvThe aim of this thesis is to examine how learner-general developmental stages in syntax and morphology interact with a language-specific factor, the influence of—or transfer from— the language learner’s first (L1) or previously learned second (L2) language on the acquisition of a third language (L3). It thereby aims to bring together two lines of research whose main concepts—transfer and developme
Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda på vilka grunder passivitet kan leda till avtalsbindning eller förlust av rättigheter inom avtalsförhållanden enligt gällande svensk rätt. Analysen fokuserar både på skrivna regler om passivitet och oskrivna normer som framgår av rättspraxis och doktrin. Passivitet i egenskap av rättshandling, rättsfaktum och avtalstolkningsdatum utreds med stöd av relevanta rättskälThe aim of this thesis is to investigate the grounds on which passivity causes contractual effect in the form of binding agreement or loss of contractual rights, according to Swedish law. The analysis pertains to passivity norms as they are found in the Contracts Act, the Limitations Act and the Commercial Agents Act as well as in the unwritten passivity norms developed in case law. The investigat
When looking at medical device and rehabilitation tools of today’s market, most of them are limited to one specific action or situation. When being sick and suffering from e.g. rheumatism or are in need of rehabilitation after a stroke, one easily gets limited to the home environment. If the subject need to leave the house, an insecurity could occur when being put into situations that the re
A joint research between Lund University and Chalmers Competence Centre for Catalysis have shown promising results for a Rh-based catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation catalytic applications. The original catalyst consisted of a dispersion of nanoparticles onto a porous 3D oxide network. To gain a deeper understanding of the catalyst, a surface science study is necessary, but it is impossible to perform
I de centrala delarna av södra Sverige finns ett tektoniskt gränsområde som traditionellt sett har kallats Protoginzonen. Det har agerat som gränsen mellan bergarter vilka undkommit svekonorvegisk deformation och metamorfos i öster, och bergarter som upplevt den svekonorvegiska bergskedjebildningen till väster. Norr om Vänern kallas detta gränsområde numera Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone
The aim of this project was to develop a method for simulating the movement of a fluid in a fuel tank of a truck that is in motion. The pressure that is built up on the tank walls was also calculated. Once the method was developed it could be used for analyzing and understanding the phenomenon that is sloshing. The method developed cover all parts of the process, from start to finish. The first
The Roan peninsula in western Norway, Vestranden, is known for exposing one of the deepest parts of the Scandinavian Caledonian orogen, similar to the Western Gneiss Region. Throughout the Roan area, eclogites and high-pressure granulite- and amphibolite-facies gneisses occur, associated with supracrustal rocks including marbles, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolites. Although extensive research ha
Det svenska skattesystemet skiljer mellan olika inkomstslag som beskattas olika. Tanken när systemet infördes var att det skulle kompensera för t.ex. inflationen och att det faktiskt beskattade värdet därigenom skulle bli detsamma. Så blev inte fallet och det är idag mycket lukrativare att föra ut vinst ur bolag genom utdelning än lön. Eftersom skatterättsliga bestämmelser anknyter till civilrätThe Swedish tax system distinguishes between different types of income and taxes them differently. The idea when the system was introduced was that it would compensate for e.g. inflation so that the actual taxation would be the same. However, it didn’t work out and today it is much more lucrative to bring out profits from companies through dividends than wages. Because tax law provisions are link
Många företag verkar idag i globala och ofta mycket komplexa värdekedjor; vägen från råmaterial till färdig produkt kan korsa flera kontinenter, ibland många gånger. Dessa värdekedjor uppmärksammas allt oftare som hem åt omfattande människorättskränkningar, däribland mot arbetare. Med anledning av detta har flera initiativ tagits de senaste åren, både i Europa och internationellt, som syftar till Many modern-day businesses operate in global and highly complex value chains; the journey from raw material to finished product can span multiple continents, sometimes numerous times. These global value chains are increasingly being recognized as home to extensive human rights abuses, including against workers. To address this, several initiatives have been introduced in recent years, both in Euro
Mål om prospektansvar, det vill säga civilrättsligt ansvar för innehållet i prospekt, är ovanliga i svenska domstolar. Historiskt har endast ett fåtal sådana mål prövats, varav endast två har berört bolagsledningens ansvar. Inget sådant mål avseende bolagsledningens ansvar har prövats av Högsta domstolen. Trots att mål om prospektansvar är ovanliga, betyder det inte att fel eller brister i prospe
