Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar strömlinjeformade subglaciala bäddformer (ofta kallade drumliner) i södra Sverige. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att bidra till en lösning av det så kallade ”drumlinproblemet”. Termen drumlin har kommit att tillämpas på en grupp av landformer vars interna sediment, strukturella uppbyggnad och yttre form kan variera kraftigt. DessThis thesis investigates stream-lined subglacial bedforms (often referred to as drumlins) in southern Sweden. The broad aim of this is to contribute to the solution of the ‘drumlin problem’. The term drumlin has come to be applied to a wide range of features whose internal architecture (core) and overall morphology are seen to vary greatly. This range in characteristics is in part responsible for

Aims To investigate the causal role of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides in coronary heart disease (CHD) using multiple instrumental variables for Mendelian randomization. Methods and results We developed weighted allele scores based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with established associations with HDL-C, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholestero

The aim of this study is to investigate how Swedish learners of English (at different levels of proficiency) master idiomaticity in their target language. I argue that idiomaticity can be related to the storage and use of multi-word expressions that are preferred by native speakers. These multi-word units are referred to as prefabs in the present study. By manually identifying and subsequently cla

Cell lines derived from human squamous cell (EPCL), large cell (LCLC), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) lines were investigated for the expression of cathepsin B (Cat B) and cysteine proteinase inhibitors (CPIs). The EPLC and LCLC lines expressed 5- to 50-fold more Cat B activity and contained more mature Cat B of M(r) 27-29 kDa (> 2.5 microg/mg total protein) than the SCLC lines (< 1.0 microg/mg

Study Design. A multicenter, randomized, controlled, cost-effectiveness analysis. Objective. To assess the cost-effectiveness of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) compared with standard medical treatment (control) in patients with acute/subacute (<3 months) vertebral compression fracture (VCF) due to osteoporosis. Summary of Background Data. Patients with a VCF due to osteoporosis are common and will incr

I dagens moderna samhälle blir ett företags goda anseende, eller goodwill, av större och större vikt. Att ett intrång i en immateriell rättighet kan medföra att både företagets och produktens goodwill lider skada framstår kanske inte som alltför kontroversiellt. Det är inte heller ovanligt att förlorad goodwill vid framförallt varumärkesintrång ersätts med skadestånd. Ett immaterialrättsligt områIn today's modern society a company's reputation, or goodwill, becomes of greater and greater importance. That an infringement of an intellectual property right can lead to that both the company’s and the product's goodwill suffer damage may not be too controversial. It is neither uncommon for loss of goodwill, primarily because of trademark infringement, to be awarded with damages. A

This thesis investigates the importance of scale for power dynamics in the negotiation of risks connect-ed to Urban Rivers in Nairobi, Kenya. In addition to unequal distribution of wealth, global inequalities in the distribution of risk become increasingly important. Scale as a significant dimension of inequality is discussed in the context of Nairobi’s urban, as water scarcity and flooding events

Vid företagsöverlåtelser är det inte ovanligt att parterna avtalar om en tilläggsköpeskilling. Detta innebär att säljaren erhåller en del av ersättningen för aktierna vid tillträdet och en del vid ett eller flera tillfällen efter att företaget har skiftat ägare. Tilläggköpeskillingen är normalt beroende av att det företag som är föremål för affären uppnår vissa finansiella eller andra mål efter ägIn conjunction with business sales, earn-out agreements are commonly used. An earn-out is a mechanism whereby a portion of the purchase price is contingent, and is calculated based on the performance of the acquired business over a specified period following the closing. An earn-out can also be paid to the seller on condition that he will continue his employment within the business for an agreed t

For some time Sweden has avoided the involvement of therapy dogs in health and social care. In spite of other countries who’s been using dogs for several years, Sweden has been sceptical of the alleged positive influence that dogs supposedly can have on humans. In countries like England, Austria and the US you can find educations on university level for dogs to be used when treating humans. Up unt

Engagement in daily occupations, especially those perceived as meaningful, is essential for health and well-being. According to evaluation reports, many individuals with persistent mental illness seem to lack meaningful everyday occupations. The aim of this thesis was to investigate possible relationships between occupation, operationalised as time use and daily rhythm in daily activities, among i

Popular Abstract in English Nowadays, the majority of energy production comes from combustion which is universally linked to daily human activities. Public awakening of the environmental effects of combustion pollution evokes extensive research activities in improving combustion efficiency and reducing pollutant production. Development of combustion processes also includes the use of renewable bioThe work presented in the thesis concerns the developments of laser-based diagnostics and its application to the study of turbulent premixed combustion. The diagnostic developments, mainly concerned with planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF), are intended to provide instantaneous visualization of the key species originating from the combustion processes involved in the burning of hydrocarbons

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svenska räkneord behandlas här ur olika synvinklar. Boken är inte tänkt som en lärobok om svenska räkneord, även om man kan lära sig en hel del om systemet här - mer än språkanvändaren i allmänhet känner till. Fonologi, morfologi, syntax och semantik får alla sin del av uppmärksamheten. Jag undersöker räkneordssystemet som en synkron helhet, men de historiska förhållandSwedish numerals are here treated from different points of view. The book is however not intended to be a textbook of Swedish numerals, though one may learn a great deal about the system herein - more than the general user of the language knows. Phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics all get their fair share of attention. I am investigating the numeral system as a synchronic whole (and simila

The identification and classification of bacteria was initially performed with morphological methods applied on cultivated bacteria. It was not until the mid 1970s, when sequences of ribosomal RNA were discovered to be useful for bacterial evolution, that a new era started. This method showed to be far more accurate for bacterial identification. Today, identification of bacteria is totally dominat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Glas kan användas för retrospektiva radon mätningar på grund av radondöttrars förmåga att implantera i glasets översta skikt. Mängden implanterad aktivitet blir lätt påverkad av en rad olika faktorer i den omgivande luften. Experimentella metoder har därför utvecklats för att bestämma djupfördelningen av alfarekyl-implanterat 210Po i glas. Detta göres genom gradvis etsnGlass sheets are often used in radon surveys to estimate retrospective radon concentrations, as radon progenies are embedded in the upper surface layer. The implanted activity is influenced by a variety of different environmental conditions. In this work, experimental methods based on etching to determine the depth distribution of recoil-implanted 210Po in glass from radon decay in air were develo

Natural gas has been traditionally applied in spark-ignited combustion engines due to similar combustion characteristics for methane gas and gasoline. However, spark ignition requires a low compression ratio to avoid knock problems and therefore, gas engines have lower efficiency than diesel engines. A combustion concept that has been successfully applied on large stationary engines and to some ex

This thesis attempts to describe and interpret the design practice of an American architect, Frank O. Gehry through concepts developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and his collaborator, French psychotherapist, philosopher and activist, Félix Guattari. At the same time, prototyping a website-based interactive project called PLATEAU GEHRY_CONNECTIVES, it explores an alternative form for the

I uppsatsen undersöks rättsläget gällande möjligheten att få hjälp med att resa utomlands för LSS målgrupp. Undersökningen utförs med hjälp av dels en rättsrealistisk rättsdogmatisk metod, dels med hjälp av en socialrättslig dogmatik. Slutsatsen blir att rätten till hjälp med semesterresor är förbehållen de med störst stödbehov och detta stödbehov måste vara konstant och det beskrivs inte rättsligIn this essay, the legal situation regarding the possibility of receiving assistance for traveling abroad, for the LSS (Law on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) target group, is examined. The investigation is carried out using both a legal realist dogmatics method and a social legal dogmatics approach. The conclusion is that the right to assistance with vacation

I Europeiska unionen kan namn på produkter med ett specifikt geografiskt ursprung skyddas. Idén om att vissa produkter har särskild kvalitet, särskilda egenskaper eller särskilt rykte som ett resultat av deras geografiska ursprung har ett starkt fäste i Europa. Genom EU:s reglering av geografiska beteckningar kan skydd beviljas för produkter som härstammar från ett visst geografiskt område och somIn the European Union, product names with a specific geographical origin can be protected. The idea that certain products have a specific quality, characteristics or reputation because of their geographical origin is well established in Europe. The EU regulation of geographical indications allows protection to be granted to products originating in a specific geographical area and which, as a resul

Uppsatsen behandlar hur skadebegränsningsplikten ska tillämpas vid personskador. Skadebegränsningsplikten är en etablerad allmän rättsprincip som medför att en skadelidande ska vidta rimliga åtgärder för att begränsa sin skada. Principen åberopas ofta av skadevållare och försäkringsbolag, men dess tillämpning vid personskador är inte helt klarlagd. Det saknas relevanta domstolsavgöranden och rättsThis thesis examines how the duty to mitigate loss should be applied in personal injury cases. The duty is a well-established legal principle requiring the injured party to take reasonable steps to limit their damage. While often invoked by defendants and insurers, its application to personal injury remains underdeveloped, with limited case law and much of the legal development occurring through b

Organiserad brottslighet har under de senaste åren varit en viktig kriminalpolitisk fråga och är det än idag. Media rapporterar frekvent om skjutningar kopplade till hämndaktioner i den kriminella miljön, problem i de utsatta områdena, mord som inte går att klara upp samt företag som förskingrat miljonbelopp. Det ska nämnas att den organiserade brottsligheten har bytt skepnad genom tiderna. MångsiOrganized crime has been an important criminal policy issue in recent years and remains an important issue today. The media frequently reports on shootings linked to retaliation in the criminal environment, problems in the vulnerable areas, murders that cannot be solved and companies that have cheated millions of dollars. It is said that organized crime is a phenomenon that has changed shape over
