Energi från förnybara källor står idag enbart för 13,8% av världens totala energiproduktion. Detta är ett för lågt värde om det ska vara möjligt att nå målet om en klimatneutral ekonomi senast år 2050. En möjlig lösning för att öka mängden förnybar energi är genom att processera en biprodukt som vetehalm för att producera stora mängder bioetanol. Processen inleds med att vetehalmen förbehandlas ti
The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge and insight into social service workers' experiences and opinions about the Swedish law on compulsory care of minors. The study also aimed to illustrate how social workers describe their work with the legislation and their role in it. We conducted six qualitative semi-structured interviews with social workers who had the experience in compulsory
Personer med nedsatt beslutsförmåga kan till följd av kognitiva nedsättningar inte alltid samtycka till vård. Eftersom det inte finns någon specialanpassad lag för denna patientgrupp har det under flera års tid varit svårt att tillämpa regelverken inom hälso- och sjukvården. Det har tillsatts ett flertal kommittéer för att undersöka möjligheterna att stifta ett anpassat regelverk. Detsamma gäller
Background. Carlberg & Innanen (1987) first proposed the idea of measuring the solar re- flex velocity (the velocity of the Sun around the galactic centre), Vg,⊙, using the momenta of the stars in the solar neighbourhood. The proposal was a consequence of the work of L. Martinet (Martinet 1974), where he proved that there should be a dearth of stars with zero angular momenta in the solar neigh
Trots att religionsfriheten är en rättighet som finns stadgad i flertalet internationella rättsakter finns ingen vedertagen definition av religion. Denna uppsats syftar till att, inom ramen för den rättsdogmatiska metoden, undersöka hur migrationsdomstolarna definierar genuin religiös tro samt att problematisera definitionen utifrån alternativa uppfattningar begreppet. För att uppnå syftet med Although the freedom of religion is a right guaranteed in several international legal documents, there is no general definition of religion. This essay intends to investigate how the Swedish migration courts define genuine religious belief and to question the definition based on alternative perceptions of the concept. To achieve the purpose of the essay, I have examined 16 decisions from the S
CERN operates the most complex particle accelerator facility built until today. As such, it consists of thousands of custom-made components spread both in upper ground facilities and in underground tunnels and caverns. Several different hazards, including fire, are present in these facilities and need to be reduced to a tolerable level; in particular, fire safety often requires the application of
During the last few years, the interest for electric vehicles has increased enormously, there are even talk of prohibiting fossil fuels in the coming years. There is a risk that the charging of these electric vehicles can strain the electric grid. The simulations of the grid with added power demand from the electric vehicles concludes that there will not be a problem on the low- and medium voltage
In this bachelor project, the electron transport within quantum dot transistor devices, whose barriers are electrostatically induced, was measured and analysed. The properties of devices with this particular architecture are not yet fully understood. We successfully synthesised several 150x50x50 nm of these devices, where the potential barrier gates are defined next to the nanowire to form the qua
Barns rättigheter har konsekvent missbrukats under väpnade konflikter. Det har skett mer än 266 000 allvarliga kränkningar av barns rättigheter mellan 2005 och 2020, även om det verkliga antalet förmodligen är högre. FN har identifierat sex allvarliga kränkningar av barns rättigheter vid väpnade konflik-ter. Avhandlingen syftar till att belysa hur upprättelse för kränkningar av de sex allvarliga k
There is limited research on indoor air quality in the Middle East. In this study, concentrations and size distributions of indoor particles were measured in eight Jordanian dwellings during the winter and summer. Supplemental measurements of selected gaseous pollutants were also conducted. Indoor cooking, heating via the combustion of natural gas and kerosene, and tobacco/shisha smoking were asso
NG2 cells, a fourth glial cell type in the adult mammalian central nervous system, produce oligodendrocytes in the healthy nervous tissue, and display wide differentiation potential under pathological conditions, where they could give rise to reactive astrocytes. The factors that control the differentiation of NG2 cells after focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) are largely unknown. Here, we used transge
Recent research suggests an important role of the meniscus in the development of knee osteoarthritis. We, therefore, aimed to analyze the proteome of the normal human meniscus body, and specifically to gain new knowledge on global protein expression in the different radial zones. Medial menisci were retrieved from the right knees of 10 human cadaveric donors, from which we cut a 2 mm radial slice
OBJECTIVES: This study provides a detailed analysis of the global and regional burden of cancer due to occupational carcinogens from the Global Burden of Disease 2016 study.METHODS: The burden of cancer due to 14 International Agency for Research on Cancer Group 1 occupational carcinogens was estimated using the population attributable fraction, based on past population exposure prevalence and rel
BACKGROUND: Rapid diagnostic whole-genome sequencing has been explored in critically ill newborns, hoping to improve their clinical care and replace time-consuming and/or invasive diagnostic testing. A previous retrospective study in a research setting showed promising results with diagnoses in 57%, but patients were highly selected for known and likely Mendelian disorders. The aim of our prospect
We aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of stationary tissue background phase correction for affecting precision in the measurement of Qp/Qs by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). We enrolled consecutive patients (n = 91) referred for CMR at 1.5T without suspicion of cardiac shunt, and patients (n = 10) with verified cardiac shunts in this retrospective study. All patients underwent phase c
