Djungeln av avloppsreningslösningar Avloppsvatten uppkommer från alla typer av verksamheter, ändå är det en fråga som som är problematisk för många. Även för ett mindre bryggeri innebär omhändertagandet av avloppsvatten många frågetecken. Vad är det egentligen som avgör vilken avloppsvattenlösning som passar för den individuella verksamheten? Intresset för öl har vuxit explosionsartat i Sverige ocThe number of microbreweries in Sweden has grown a lot since 2009, from about 30 to 240 breweries. In the production of beer, wastewater is also produced which must be taken care of to avoid inconvenience to people and the environment. How the wastewater should be treated has been a problem for a couple of breweries. This study is based on a case study, Remmarlöv Gårdsbryggeri, that needs a new wa

This thesis is about the overlooked workload nurses’ hands are daily exposed to. This workload is made up of small tasks, seemingly requiring small efforts that together and over time can cause considerable muscle wear. A large number of these tasks consist of opening packages constructed to ensure that the products are sterile. In this study, the effects these packages have on the users were exam

Sveriges och Europas befolkning blir allt äldre samtidigt som färre föds. Med andra ord ska allt färre yngre människor försörja allt fler äldre. Den 15 december 2008 infördes nya svenska regler för arbetskraftsinvandring från tredjeland. Reformen innebar att det gamla systemet där ansökningar om arbetstillstånd först prövades mot behovet på den inhemska marknaden, den så kallade arbetsmarknadsprövThe Swedish and European population is aging and fewer are born. In other words, fewer young people have to provide for an increasing number of elderly people. On December 15 2008 new Swedish rules for labour migration from third countries were introduced. The old system where an application for work permit was first assessed according to the needs of the domestic market, the so-called ”arbetsmark

The aim of this was to determine whether the change of size observed at the first response evaluation after initiation of first-line combination chemotherapy correlates with overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The change in size of tumors derived from measurements according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) at the first evaluation on comput

The paper looks into volunteering in Sweden, with the aim to explain why people volunteer and who volunteers. Theories of why individuals volunteer are explored from two perspectives; volunteering as a good demanded by the individual and volunteering as the supply, by individuals, of unpaid labour. The question of who volunteers in Sweden is addressed by analysing the determinants of volunteer lab

Background: The drinking water in parts of Ronneby was heavily contaminated with perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for decades. Although PFAS has endocrine-disrupting properties and may interfere with breastfeeding, the effects in populations with a point source of high exposure are unknown. Objectives: To investigate associations between high PFAS exposure and 1) initiation and 2) duration of brea

Purpose: Electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) are used postoperatively to detect complications through real-time symptom monitoring. This study examines whether alerts triggered through the “Recovery Tracker” (RT), an ePRO system, predict 30-day re-admission or re-operation after lumpectomy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed breast cancer patients who underwent lumpectomy at a single in

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is frequently used in the treatment of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), although its impact on long-term prognosis and symptom relief remains debated. Among patients undergoing revascularisation with PCI, data on clinical outcomes following drug-coated balloon (DCB) based PCI in unselected patient populations is limited, and the comparative effe

In recent years, application of ensemble models has been increased tremendously in various types of natural hazard assessment such as landslides and floods. However, application of this kind of robust models in groundwater potential mapping is relatively new. This study applied four data mining algorithms including AdaBoost, Bagging, generalized additive model (GAM), and Naive Bayes (NB) models to

We describe the case of a 30-year-old woman, who needed a formal report on her visual impairment to seek support from society. She was born preterm, and during her neonatal period, she suffered from bilateral intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) grade 3, a condition that can cause cerebral visual impairment (CVI) due to damage to the retro-geniculate visual pathways. Individuals with such brain damag

Detta examensarbete behandlar främst de sakrättsliga verkningarna av en aktieöverlåtelse, samt den centrala värdepappersförvararens ansvar för skada. De två sakrättsliga exempel som behandlas i denna uppsats är konsekvenserna av att aktiebrev inte är utgivet i kupongbolag, samt förkommet aktiebrev. Sedan behandlas även den centrala värdepappersförvararens ansvar för skada enligt 7 kap LKF. UppsatsThis thesis deals primarily with the impact on right in rem of stock transfer, and the CSD:s liability for damage. The two substantive examples treated in this thesis are first the consequences of a situation when no shares certificates are issued, and secondly a loss of share certificates. Additionally the CSD:s liability for damage according to chapter 7 in LKF will be treated. The thesis sums u

In this study, we show a significantly reduced assay time and a greatly increased bead recovery for a commercial Luminex-based multiplex diagnostic immunoassay by performing all liquid handling steps of the assay protocol in a non-contact acoustic trapping platform. The Luminex assay is designed for detecting antibodies in poultry serum for infectious bursal disease virus, infectious bronchitis vi

In alternate partial root-zone irrigation (APRI) a significant amount of irrigation water can be saved without considerable yield reduction. In this paper, Hydrus-2D/3D was used to investigate the impact of geometric design of alternate partial root-zone subsurface drip irrigation (APRSDI) with brackish water for growing tomato on soil moisture and salinity distribution. Three inter-plant emitter

In this thesis, we develop and examine decision models intended for traffic engineering analysis of multiservice networks. Two important issues are addressed, namely call admission and routing control in multiservice broadband networks, and overload control in distributed-memory systems. Multiservice broadband networking generally refers to the ability to handle widely disparate traffic streams s

Background Subjective evaluation of gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound findings (i. e., pattern recognition) by an experienced examiner and preoperative serum levels of CA-125 can both discriminate benign from malignant adnexal ( i. e., ovarian, paraovarian, or tubal) masses. We compared the diagnostic performance of these methods in a large multicenter study. Methods In a prospective multicenter s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Richard Hughes (1900-1976) blev mycket känd genom sin debutroman A High Wind in Jamaica, 1929. Han förhastade sig inte med nästa roman, In Hazard; den kom först 1938. Intervallerna blev allt längre. The Fox in the Attic från 1961 inledde hans romancykel The Human Predicament, och fortsättningen kom med The Wooden Shepherdess 1973. Av en planerad tredje del publicerades The two last novels by Richard Hughes (1900-1976), the first in his planned The Human Predicament series, are partly set in Germany in the years between the First and the Second World War. Much of the action in The Fox in the Attic (1961) takes part in and around Munich, culminating in a fictional reconstruction of the so-called Hitler Putsch on November 8-9, 1923, the future dictator's aborted ea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hydrosilyleringsreaktionen är formellt en addition av en hydrosilan till ett omättat system. Reaktionen är oftast katalyserad av en övergångsmetall, och i denna process är det möjligt att påverka på vilket sätt additionen sker. Denna avhandling är en sammanfattning av fyra artiklar som behandlar regio-, stereo- och kemoselektivitet vid addition av hydrosilaner till konjThis thesis is a summary of four papers concerning various aspects on the transition metal catalysed hydrosilylation of 1,3-dienes. The hydrosilylation reaction is formally an addition of a hydrosilane to an unsaturated system and depending on the reaction conditions, control of stereo-, regio-, and chemo-selectivity can be achieved. Optically active heterobidentate P,N ligands were synthesised f
