Background: Changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks significantly influence the atmospheric C concentration. Agricultural management practices that increase SOC stocks thus may have profound effects on climate mitigation. Additional benefits include higher soil fertility since increased SOC stocks improve the physical and biological properties of the soil. Intensification of agriculture and la
Ulcerated diabetic foot is a complex problem. Ischaemia, neuropathy and infection are the three pathological components that lead to diabetic foot complications, and they frequently occur together as an aetiologic triad. Neuropathy and ischaemia are the initiating factors, most often together as neuroischaemia, whereas infection is mostly a consequence. The role of peripheral arterial disease in d
Popular Abstract in Italian Con il termine aterosclerosi si usa generalmente definire uno stato di infiammazione cronica che risulta nella riduzione di elasticita´ delle pareti dei vasi arteriori di medio e grande diametro. La lesione caratteristica dell´aterosclerosi e´ l´ateroma, o placca aterosclerotica, ossia un´ispessimento dello strato piu´ interno delle arterie. Le placche cominciano a form
BACKGROUND: Cancer has consequences not only for the sick person but also for those who have a close relationship with that person. Greater knowledge about how family members manage the situation in the period immediately following the diagnosis means greater opportunity to provide the best possible support for the family. The purpose of this study was to explore management strategies that family
Background: To offer minimized risk-adapted adjuvant treatment on a community and nationwide basis for patients with clinical stage 1 (CS1) nonseminomatous germ-cell testicular cancer (NSGCT). The aim was to reduce the risk of relapse and thereby reducing the need of later salvage chemotherapy while maintaining a high cure rate. Patients and methods: From July 1995 to January 1998, a total of 232
Power supply systems play a very important role in everyday life applications. There are mainly two ways of producing energy for low power generation: electrochemical batteries and small engines. In the last few years, many improvements have been carried out in order to obtain lighter batteries with longer durations but unfortunately the energy density of 1 MJ/kg seems to be an asymptotic value. A
Climate and vegetation growth of an area are interrelated processes; both take place on small to global scales. However, climate change and variability impacts on vegetation in most places in the world including Tanzania is of great concern since vegetation supports many socio-economic sectors, and plays a crucial role in atmospheric greenhouse gas moderation. This study aims at investigating the
Middle and basal Upper Cambrian strata are well exposed in an old quarry at Gudhem in the Falbygden area of Västergötland, south-central Sweden. The exposures consist of finely laminated alum shale with scattered stinkstone (orsten) lenses, up to 2.3 m in diameter. Four sections have been measured and sampled in order to establish the succession of trilobite species. Fossils are generally preserve
Inom det som kallas projektfinansiering tillhandahåller långivare finansiering för utvecklingen av ett enskilt projekt. Ofta är sådan projektfinansiering kopplad till offentliga projekt. I Sverige har finansieringsmetoden projektfinansiering till exempel använts för att finansiera Arlandabanan. Själva idén med projektfinansiering är att det kassaflöde som projektet genererar ska användas och räcka
Ovako Ajax me, in York, South Carolina, USA manufactures seamless steel rings. The rings are made from blocks, which are heated, pressed, punched and then rolled to desired size and shape. Due to tougher competition on the seamless steel ring market, it is necessary to know the total production time for an order of specific rings, in order to be able to price the rings correctly and plan the prod
Problem IKEA want to avoid building a DC with insufficient capacity, and with imbalances in the material flow, therefore they want to run simulations of the system to see if the material flow is of satisfaction. The focus of this report is aimed towards capacity simulations of the Silo, the automated high storage area. Purpose Run different scenarios of the Silo with different conditions in o
To avoid eutrofication and excessive algal bloms it is necessary to reduce the phosphorus contents in wastewater. Previous wastewater treatment systems often have a good process for phosphorus reduction but in general not the ability to recycle the material and phosphorus for further utilisation after its use in wastewater treatment. Polonite® is a material with large content of calciumoxide wh
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) causes serious environmental impact in its end-of-life phase and it is the largest known source of heavy metals and organic pollutants in municipal waste. Moreover, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) containes valuable components that if recycled and reused, could reduce the use of virgin materials. However, nowdays WEEE is mostly landfilled.
This thesis compares and evaluates the regulatory measures of the United States' and Sweden's Bar Associations in regard to attorney advertising. The comparative study evaluates the American- and the Swedish Bar Associations' Model Rules of Professional Conduct from a consumer perspective. The historical evolution of the Bar in America and Sweden and their respective control over the l
The purpose of this dissertation is to compare and analyse sanctions for unfair dismissal in Sweden and Denmark. In Sweden the rules concerning employment protection are found in the Employment Protection Act of 1982. According to the act (section 7) dismissals shall be based on objective grounds. In Denmark the most important rules of employment protection can be found in the Basic LO/DA Collecti
