Almost 2 million people are living in Islamabad, significant number of workforce commute from neighboring areas and other parts of the country. The city is facing restraint on natural resources due to increased urban migration coupled with rapid population growth. As a result, the city infrastructure facilities and living conditions are deteriorating. The problems associated with drinking water av
The European commission have set targets regarding the reduction of emission of greenhouse gases, the improvement of the energy efficiency and the use of renewable resources of energy respectively by 20 % by the year of 2020. Swedish targets are even more ambitious compared to the European Commission that aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 40 %, improve the energy efficiency by 20 % an
Before performing 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy for neuroendocrine tumors, somatostatin receptor (SSTR) PET imaging is currently used to confirm sufficient tumor SSTR expression, but it also has potential to be used to personalize treatment by predicting absorbed doses to critical organs. This study aims to validate the predictive capability of SSTR PET in anticipating renal absorbed dose in the first cy
Dagens samhälle präglas av en växande digital karaktär, där gränsöverskridande kommersiella relationer utvecklas i enlighet med den snabbt expansiva tekniken. Sådana relationer ökar även flödet av personuppgifter från unionen till tredje land, som är nödvändiga för den digitala ekonomin. Medlemsländerna inom den Europeiska unionen lyder under dataskyddsförordningen, vars huvudsyfte bland annat skaToday's society is defined by a growing digital character, in which cross-border commercial relationships develop in accordance with the rapidly expanding technology. Such relationships also increase the flow of personal data from the European Union (the Union) to third countries, and are essential for the digital economy. The Member States of the Union are governed by the General Data Protect
I mars 2015 nådde den globalt genomsnittliga koldioxidhalten 400 ppm för första gången på tre miljoner år. Därför satte den svenska regeringen, år 2017, upp målet att Sverige ska vara klimatneutralt år 2045. Samtidigt står den svenska byggindustrin för 18,1 miljoner ton växthusgasutsläpp, vilket motsvarar 19 procent av Sveriges totala utsläpp. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och analyserThe global average carbon dioxide concentration reached 400 ppm for the first time in three million years, in March 2015. This calls for drastic measures so in 2017 the Swedish government set up the goal of making Sweden climate neutral by 2045. Meanwhile, the construction sector in Sweden accounts for 18.1 million tons of green- house gases which is 19 percent of Sweden’s total emissions. The pur
Purpose: Recent developments in external radiotherapy and its utilization with artificial in- telligence (AI) enables advanced treatment plans for a range of different disease sites. By adapting to the anatomy of the day, target coverage can be ensured while sparing more healthy tissue. The purpose of this project was to study the feasibility and benefits of daily cone beam computed tomography (CB
Optiskt stimulerad luminiscens, OSL, är en dateringsmetod som går att tillämpa på geologiska material med en ålder på ca 1 år-200 000 år. Dateringsmetoden grundar sig i att mineralkorn påverkas av naturlig, radioaktiv bakgrundsstrålning och därför ackumulerar energi inom sig, en process som endast sker under mörka/ svala förhållanden. Denna energi kan sedan frigöras genom att mineralkornet utsättsOptically stimulated luminescence, OSL, is a dating method applicable to geological material with an age of ca. 1 year-200 000 years. The dating method is based on the mineral grains reaction to natural, radioactive background radiation, and their ability to accumulate energy within themselves, a process that takes place continuously during dark/cool conditions. This energy may be released by subj
Retention patterns in lung tissue (determined by transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry) of chrysotile, tremolite, and crocidolite fibres were analysed in 69 dead asbestos cement workers and 96 referents. There was an accumulation of tremolite with time of employment. Among workers who died within three years of the end of exposure, the 13 with high tremolite concentra

RAS is progressive and causes 5-16% of all cases of renal failure. Prevalence of RAS in patients with hypertension is 1-5%. Today percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) with or without stenting is a widely accepted treatment of RAS. Treatment of renal artery occlusion (RAO)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda vad som anses vara barnets bästa i en situation där barnet har bortförts till och vistats i ett nytt land under så lång tid att barnet har anpassat sig till förhållandena där. Undersökningen är begränsad till länder som är anslutna till 1980 års Haagkonvention. Ska barnet återföras till ursprungslandet eller stanna kvar i det nya landet? Finns det en tidsmässig gThe purpose of this essay is to examine what is considered to be in the child’s best interest in a situation where the child has been abducted to and stayed in a new country for so long that the child has adapted to the conditions there. The examination is limited to countries that are part of the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Will the child be transported back
The European Spallation Source, currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will be the world's brightest neutron source. It is driven by a linear accelerator designed to accelerate a beam of protons with 62.5 mA, 2.86 ms long pulses, working at 14 Hz. The final section of its normal-conducting front-end consists of a 39 m long drift tube linac divided into five tanks, designed to accelerate
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia, increasing with each year. AF is characterized by periods of rapid and irregular beating of the heart and increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. The disease often originates from ectopic beats generated by the pulmonary veins, activating the atria, creating short periods of AF. Without treatment the disease evolves, remodels the a

Malignant ventricular arrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation (VF), remain an important contributor to mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The size of myocardial injury is one more important factor influencing the prognosis of STEMI patients.

During more than three decades, corporate non-financial and sustainability reporting has been widely conceived as a voluntary practice, a matter of going beyond the requirements of the law. Therefore, it has been traditionally overlooked by legal and socio-legal scholars. However, during the last decade things have rapidly changed. We are currently witnessing the emergence of a mix of mandatory a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Energibalansen vid jordytan är av avgörande betydelse för Jordens alla ekosystem men när det gäller Arktiska och sub-Arktiska ekosystem är kunskapen bristfällig. I dynamiska system som klimatsystemet, påverkas utbytet av energi, vatten och växthusgaser av små förändringar i ekosystemen. Syftet med denna avhandling är därför att skapa ökad kunskap och en tydligare bild aThe surface energy balance determines the functioning of any ecosystem on the Earth but is still poorly understood in Arctic and subarctic biomes. In a dynamic system, such as the Earth’s climate, any change in its characteristics modifies the exchange of energy, water, and greenhouse gases between the surface and the atmosphere. Therefore, this thesis aims to draw a conclusive picture of the surf
