When the Swedish building regulations in 1994 allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, as well as wood being a plentiful resource in Sweden. However, complaints amid inhabitants are often reported due to nuisances caused by disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the building. Still
The overall aim of this thesis was to elucidate fathers’ experience of becoming parents of a pretermborn infant as well as their experience in the years after their infant’s birth. A further aim was to describe the context of neonatal care by investigating trends in outcome during a ten-year period in the southern region of Sweden. In total twenty-one fathers were interviewed at three different ti
The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of, and develop a model to explain, interrelations between purchasing strategies carried out by buyers within vaccine supply chains for developing countries and their buyer-supplier power structure. In the humanitarian aid context, availability of required goods (e.g. health related products) at the right time and place is of vital import
This doctorate thesis focuses on sparse regression, a statistical modeling tool for selecting valuable predictors in underdetermined linear models. By imposing different constraints on the structure of the variable vector in the regression problem, one obtains estimates which have sparse supports, i.e., where only a few of the elements in the response variable have non-zero values. The thesis coll
Background: Breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is given to improve survival time in people with COPD and severe chronic hypoxaemia at rest. The efficacy of oxygen therapy for breathlessness and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in people with COPD and mild or no hypoxaemia who do not meet the criteria for LTOT
BACKGROUND: Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigati
《在幽昏中顯影：港中對話中國獨立紀錄片2014-2020》一書以導演、學者、觀眾對話的形式，討論了中國獨立紀錄片研究會（香港）2014至2020年期間展映、製片、發行的獨立電影。我們從中選擇了記錄較為完整的“叛逆中國”、“飛越瘋人院”、“情慾中國”三個展映單元的獨立紀錄片討論，以及針對夾邊溝右派農場倖存者記憶、維吾爾和新疆議題、三自教會、地下知識分子、前政府高官、工人抗爭等18部影片的映後交流文本或者導演訪談文本，形成本書“性、性別與女性主體”、“權利與政治”、“歷史與記憶”、“放逐與流亡”四個部分的主要內容。本書還收入研究會參與製片的《喊叫與耳語》首映對談，曾金燕對艾未未在跨國視野（流亡處境）下關於藝術（如《人流》）、社會行動和審查的兩次訪談，曾金燕對應亮半自傳劇情片《自由行》的訪談、曾金燕對艾曉明關於性別、紀錄片和社會行動的訪談、曾金燕與王月眉關於在香港八年“邊緣”經驗的筆談。額外收入
1. IntroductionThe third and latest wave of biotechnology is the so called „white biotechnology“ aiming to replace the C2/C3 chemistry based on oil and gas by biological processes. The backbone of biotechnology is the conversion by fermentation which is widely established in the production of antibiotics, enzymes, bioethanol and organic acids. In the past, fermentation processes had to partly comp
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and poor mental health are two major public health concerns in Europe. Ethnicity is identified as a risk marker for both conditions. Middle-Eastern immigrants represent the largest group of non-European immigrants in Sweden and are at increased risk for T2D. In clinical trials, lifestyle interventions focusing on physical activity and healthy diet have been shown
This is the third report form the CO2 Monitoring Task Force on the multiple input streams of in-situ observations that are requirement for the Copernicus CO2 Monitoring and Verification Support capacity to: (i) calibrated and validate the space component, (ii) assimilate data in the models and integrate information in the core of the system, and (iii) evaluate the output generated by the system fo
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is under construction in the outskirts of Lund in southern Sweden. When ESS has entered the operational phase in a few years, an intense beam of high-energy protons will not only produce the desired spallation neutrons from a large target of tungsten, but a substantial number of different radioactive by-products will also be generated. A small part of these wil
Over the past few decades, the automotive industry has increasingly looked towards increasing the efficiency of the internal combustion engine to meet more stringent emission norms and as a measure to meet demands for improved air quality in cities. One method to improve the internal combustion engine efficiency is to recover some of the energy lost to the coolant and the exhaust using a secondary
Vad står vi på – hur tar man reda på det? Kanske man kan titta på en geologisk karta, borra ett hål eller gräva en grop? Det kan gå bra, men ibland finns det inte tillräckligt detaljerade kartor och att gräva upp allt man är intresserad av är ingen lysande idé. Tänk om man kunde forska fram en metod som gör att man kan se rakt igenom marken, som röntgenundersökningar på sjukhus! På sätt och vis kaWhat would you find below your feet – how do you find out? Perhaps you could look at a geological map, drill, or dig? That could work, but sometimes the maps are not detailed enough, and digging everywhere to find out is impractical. Imagine if you could develop a method that allows you to see straight through the ground, as x–rays through the body! To some extent, such methods already exist; you
Background: Kidney disease is recognised as an important worldwide health burden. Kidney failure is the result of acute and chronic kidney disease and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Chronic kidney failure is associated with high-costs for society and low quality of life. Kidney failure may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that requires dialysis or kidney transplantation with
Standardavtalet AB 04 används i stor utsträckning i offentligt upphand-lande byggentreprenadkontrakt, trots att flera av dess villkor präglas av betydande tolkningssvårigheter. Detta ger upphov till problem när villkor i entreprenadavtal kan förstås på två motstående sätt. Problemet förstärks av att offentligt upphandlade avtal som huvudregel inte får ändras efter att de har ingåtts. Avsteg från dThe standard contract AB 04 is widely used in publicly procured public works contracts, despite the fact that several of its clauses are characterised by interpretative difficulties. These issues become apparent where the clauses can be understood reasonably in two opposing ways. The problem is amplified by the general rule that publicly procured contracts may not be modified once concluded. Devia
