Since any firearm injury is potentially lethal, it is of great interest to prevent firearm incidents. This study investigated such incidents during hunting and Swedish hunters' safety behaviour. A 48-item questionnaire was posted to a random sample of 1000 members of the Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management. The questions considered demographics, hunting experience/hunting habit
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Byggandet av en järnvägstunnel genom Hallandsåsen har orsakat sänkta grundvattennivåer på ett flertal platser i tunnelns närhet. Sänkta grundvattennivåer påverkar vegetationen i området och minskar även flödet i vattendragen uppe på åsen. Ett flertal våtmarker och fuktängar på Hallandsåsen har höga naturvärden och det finns därför ett stort intresse att skydda oEstablishing a railway tunnel through the mountain ridge Hallandsåsen in north-western Skåne, southern Sweden, may cause a lowered groundwater level in an approximately three kilometres wide area overlying the tunnel line. The "horst ridge" is caused by tectonic up-lift and the bedrock is rich in fissures and shear zones. There are at least two different aquifers in the area, one fissur
Application of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatment on five fresh commodities was analysed for the changes in the metabolic and physiological effects on their shelf life. Treatment parameters were optimised in order to achieve uniform electroporation on the samples, which was analysed by Propidium Iodide staining for the leaf samples. The viability of electroporation of greenhouse (GH) rocket, co
This case study research aims to identify the enabling factors and challenges for developing a joint Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Disaster Response Preparedness between Jordan, Israel and Palestine. Twelve qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts either involved in the SOP project, the region and/or with extensive experience in developing cross-border SOPs. Thre
Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka aktiekursutvecklingen hos statligt ägda bolag som privatiserats helt eller delvis genom en börsintroduktion eller en nyemission. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka huruvida storleken av privatiseringen har någon betydelse för aktiekursens utveckling samt om privatiseringen kan användas som en investeringsstrategi. Metod: För att undersöka utvecklingen avPurpose: To examine the stock performance of formerly state owned enterprises that have been fully or partly sold to the market as a result of an IPO or SEO. The general purpose of this essay is to see if one can use privatizations as a investment strategy, and if the share size of the IPO or SEO can explanatory to the performance. Methodology: To be able to perform this study and fulfil the purp
Saturated laser-induced fluorescence (saturated LIF) has been the topic of some research, however mainly regarding laser diagnostic methods conducted on flames. A few papers have discussed saturated LIF with the purpose of producing saturation curves of different fluorescent elements. The utilised methods in these cases have involved manually increasing the laser intensity and detecting the fluore
The study uses a quantitative methodology to explore the linkages between contextual vulnerability and out-migration in the rural communities of the Indian Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, employing OLS linear regression as its main exploratory tool. Five main findings are brought forward: (1) There is a clear positive correlation between the two variables, supporting the possibility of using vulne
The European Spallation Source (ESS) infrastructure is being constructed in Lund, and will be one of the most powerful research facilities of its type in the world. The ESS linear accelerator (linac) utilizes different accelerating sections where a wide variety of techniques should be employed to accelerate a beam of protons to 2 GeV kinetic energy through Radio Frequency (RF) cavities before bein
English teachers in Swedish upper secondary school often focus on Standard British and American English, although they agree with the syllabus that different varieties of English should be included in teaching. This study aimed to investigate to what extent English teachers include different varieties of English in the classroom. Previous work has failed to provide a comprehensive overview of the
Forestry in Sweden suffers from browsing damage caused by large herbivores, mainly moose (Alces alces) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). Silviculture affects the availability of forage for these animals, and thus the browsing pressure. A step towards modeling the response of trees or to predict browsing damage is to gain more knowledge on the availability of food in forest stands. Individual gap
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om expertinflytande och demokrati och fokuserar hur politiskt beslutsfattande i frågor med stort beroende av vetenskaplig expertis bör gå till för att vara demokratiskt. Studiens övergripande syfte är att från ett demokratiskt perspektiv värdera den svenska lagstiftningsprocessen om medicinsk genteknik, som kan ses som ett fall av beslutsfattandThis dissertation is about expert influence and democracy and focuses on how political decision-making about issues highly dependent on qualified scientific expertise should come about in order to be democratic. The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate, from a democratic perspective, the Swedish legislative process concerned with medical gene technology ? an archetypal case where the decisi
We explored possible differences in the peripheral and central pharmacokinetics of L-DOPA as a basis for individual variation in the liability to dyskinesia. Unilaterally, 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned rats were treated chronically with L-DOPA for an induction and monitoring of abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs). Comparisons between dyskinetic and non-dyskinetic cases were then carried ou
Det saknas, så vitt vi vet, information om hur barn upplever svåra situationer i vardagen, och framförallt hur de upplever känslor som skam och skuld när de har en förälder med långvarig smärta. Dessutom finns det i Sverige inte någon insats inriktad på barnen under dessa förhållanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva barnens upplevelse av skam och skuld av att leva med en långvarigt smärtThere is a lack, as far as we know, of information about how children experience difficult situations in everyday life and most importantly how they experience emotions such as shame and guilt when they have a parent with chronic pain. Moreover, in Sweden there is no effort focused on the children in these circumstances. The purpose of this study is to describe the children's experience of sha
För cirka tio år sedan började användningen av en ny produkt på den svenska försäkringsmarknaden för företagsförvärv. Den så kallade M&A- försäkringen syftar till att hantera de garantiåtaganden som säljaren lämnar i aktieöverlåtelseavtalet genom att överföra ansvaret till en försäkringsgivare. På grund av den riskallokering som försäkringslösningen innebär kan den fungera som ett förhandlingsRoughly ten years ago started the usage of a new product on the Swedish insurance market for acquisitions. The so-called M&A-insurance is designed to handle the warranty obligations, that the seller provides in the share purchase agreement, by transferring the responsibility thereof to an insurer. Because of the risk allocation that the insurance solution means it can function as a negotiating
Topology Optimization (TO) of static structures with fixed loading is a very interesting topic in structural mechanics that has found many applications in industrial design tasks. The extension of the theory to dynamic loading for designing a Multibody System (MBS) with bodies which are lighter and stronger can be of high interest. The objective of this thesis work is to investigate one of the pos
I Sverige finns det idag mellan 400 000 – 500 000 geoenergianläggningar och det uppskattas att nettotillskottet energi från geoenergianläggningar är ungefär 18 – 20 TWh per år. Geoenergianläggningar använder markens översta 300 – 500 metrar för att utvinna värme eller kyla. Vid anläggning av geoenergisystem kan man använda olika borrtekniker, mer eller mindre lämpliga beroende på olika geologiska There are about 400 000 – 500 000 shallow geothermal energy systems in Sweden and every year the net additions of energy from geothermal energy systems are about 18 – 20 TWh. Usually it is the upper 300 – 500 meters of the ground that are used for extracting heat or cold from cored strata. When constructing a shallow geothermal energy system, there are different drilling techniques available for u
