Färskvatten av god kvalitet och kvantitet är avgörande för mänsklig överlevnad och livskvalitet. För att ta vara på befintliga vattenresurser vid vattenbrist kan renat avloppsvatten återanvändas. Simrishamns kommun i östra Skåne upplever redan idag vattenbrist och återanvändning av vatten genom konstgjord infiltration övervägs därför. Syftet med det här arbetet är att klargöra den kemiska kvalitetSufficient quantity and quality of fresh water is crucial for human survival and quality of life. Water resources in water scarce areas can be efficiently managed by water reuse. In the Swedish municipality of Simrishamn, water scarcity is already a fact. Therefore, indirect water reuse by artificial infiltration is considered. The aim of this project is to examine the chemical quality and thereby

Lipase is one of the most useful enzymes in food industry, which can catalyze the hydrolysis and the synthesis of esters. However, the high cost due to the poor operation stability of lipase hinders the wide use of it. In present research, the stability of lipases in aqueous systems has been thoroughly studied, while research on lipases in non-aqueous systems is limited. In this work, the secondar

The aim of the study was to find out how well individuals perform when solving hypothetical causally related problems, and further understand what intelligence factors interact with this. This was done via a survey that consisted of hypothetical, linear relation, causal scenarios. Two experiments were conducted to ensure that no validity issues confounded the results. Experiment 1 consisted of 77

The purpose of this essay was to examine how Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), working with foreign aid, work to avoid the recipients from being dependent on them as organizations. The main issues were: 1. What does the activity of the NGOs look like in the developing countries? 2. In which way do the people in the recipient countries participate in the projects? 3. What do the organizations

The overarching purpose of this work was to measure the level of psychotherapeutic competence at HVB (residential care) for children and adolescents in Sweden today, to determine how many HVBs that say they offer CBT; the competence of CBT at those HVBs and how this competence is secured. Out of 399 registered HVBs 124 (31%) survey replies were received. Completed survey responses indicate, that o

Människor strävar ofta efter att uppvisa en positiv fasad, både på sociala medier och i verkliga livet. Att undertrycka sina känslor och tvinga sig själv att vara positiv är något som i populärkulturen benämns som “toxic positivity”. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan ett undertryckande av känslor (suppression), enligt Gross (2002) emotionsregleringsmodell, och välmående. Vi strPeople often strive to exhibit a positive facade, both on social media as well as in real life. To suppress one's feelings and force oneself to be positive is something which in popular culture is referred to as “toxic positivity”. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between suppression of feelings, or simply “suppression” according to the emotional regulation model formulate

Clients with dual diagnosis have difficulties to recover and have a tendancy to fall between two stools. Among other things this is due to the fact that caregivers have different approaches, values and focus. The purpose of this study is to compare how clients, therapists and socialworkers look upon the aim of the treatment, its form, residential care, the conception of goalfulfillment and partici

IMPORTANCE: Breast cancer (BC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, and there is a substantial disparity in BC mortality by race, especially for early-onset BC in Black women. Many guidelines recommend starting BC screening from age 50 years; however, the current one-size-fits-all policy to start screening all women from a certain age may not be fair, equitable, or optimal.OBJECTI

Objective Longitudinal clinical registry-infrastructures such as Anti-Rheumatic Therapies in Sweden (ARTIS) allow simultaneous comparison of the safety of individual immunomodulatory drugs used in clinical practice, with consistent definitions of treatment cohorts, follow-up and outcomes. Our objective was to assess and compare incidence rates of key safety outcomes for individual targeted synthet

IntroductionNational and regional carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) surveillance is essential to understand the burden of antimicrobial resistance, elucidate outbreaks, and develop infection-control or antimicrobial-treatment recommendations.AimThis study aimed to describe CPE and their epidemiology in Norway from 2015 to 2021.MethodsA nationwide, population-based observational study

Super adiabatic flame temperature (SAFT) is a distinctive phenomenon in the adiabatic flame where the local maximum temperature exceeds the adiabatic flame temperature. The flame temperatures exhibiting the extent of SAFT are difficult to measure with low uncertainties in experiments, while the laminar burning velocity also represents global flame features, thus could possibly be related to the SA

Learning a third language (TL) brings with it particular pedagogical demands. In the pedagogy of TL learning now emerging, the development of students' metalinguistic and crosslinguistic awareness is of central importance. In particular, emphasis is placed on the benefits of cross-referencing with supporter languages. While comparisons with supporter languages have been shown to facilitate L3 prod

Objectives To analyse potential biomarkers for vibration-induced nerve damage in a population-based, observational study. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Malmö Diet Cancer Study (MDCS), Malmö, Sweden. Participants In a subcohort of 3898 individuals (recruited 1991-1996) from MDCS (baseline examination in 28 449 individuals; collection of fasting blood samples in a cardiovascular subcohort

Background: Trauma to the pancreas is rare but associated with significant morbidity. Currently available management guidelines are based on low-quality evidence and data on long-term outcomes is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and patient-reported long-term outcomes for pancreatic injury. Methods: A retrospective cohort study evaluating treatment for pancreatic inju

Immune cells of the tumor microenvironment are central but erratic targets for immunotherapy. The aim of this study was to characterize novel patterns of immune cell infiltration in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in relation to its molecular and clinicopathologic characteristics. Lymphocytes (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD20+, FOXP3+, CD45RO+), macrophages (CD163+), plasma cells (CD138+), NK cells (NKp4

THE COASTAL AREAS of the island of Gotland in the center of the Baltic Sea is an important wintering site for water-birds in Sweden. Gotland offers extensive areas of shallow feeding grounds and, due to its location, some open waters remain available even during harsh winters. Wintering waterbirds have been counted annually on the island since the start of the international waterbird counts in 196

Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest disease that claims millions of deaths globally. Ethiopia is among the countries heavily hit by the disaster. Despite the effective directly observed treatment and TB infection control (TBIC) measures provided by the world health organization (WHO), the rate of new cases increased daily throughout the country.
