We have investigated the poorly-understood origin of nitrogen in the early Galaxy by determining N abundances from the NH band at 336 nm in 35 extremely metal-poor halo giants, with carbon and oxygen abundances from Cayrel et al. (2004, A&A, 416, 1117), using high-quality ESO VLT/UVES spectra (30 of our 35 stars are in the range -4.1 <[Fe/H] < -2.7 and 22 stars have [Fe/H] < -3.0). N abundance
To meet urgent needs for solving serious worldwide drug-resistance problems, a sensitive label-free capacitive sensor developed in our group was investigated as a tool to be applied in the field of antibiotic resistance genotyping, for instance the detection of ampicillin resistance gene (ampR). Proof-of-concept data demonstrated its detection sensitivity of pico-molar without any signal amplifica
A semiconductor (InSb) showed transient metal- like heat conduction after excitation of a dense electron- hole plasma via short and intense light pulses. A related ultrafast strain relaxation was detected using picosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction. The deduced heat conduction was, by a factor of 30, larger than the lattice contribution. The anomalously high heat conduction can be explained o
The paper reports the results of lichenological investigations in Asveja Regional Park (eastern Lithuania). A large part of the study was performed during the joint 18th Symposium of Baltic Mycologists and Lichenologists (BMLS) and Nordic Lichen Society meeting (NLF), September 19–23, 2011. A list of 259 species is presented, 30 of them are new to Lithuania. Arthonia helvola, Bacidina sulphurella,
Since the end of the 1990s, the number of fires increases dramatically in the city of Malmö. Between 1998 and 2009, the increase was 215 percent. A growing number of the fires are intentional and take place outdoors. Most of the fires are also concentrated in a limited number of neighborhoods. Furthermore, many schools are affected. Between 2000 and 2011, nearly 360 intentional fires occurred in s
The background to this thesis is the fact that high temperature during transport and storage, degrade the glucose of peritoneal dialysis fluid (PD-fluid), into a toxic substance. Research at Gambro has shown that exposure to high temperatures can destroy the PD-fluid in just a few hours, requiring months to repair. With this knowledge it became important to monitor the temperature, and evaluate wh
The effects of endogenous and exogenous cyclic AMP on the synthesis of pancreatic lipase, colipase, and amylase were studied. Pancreatic lobules were prepared and incubated with forskolin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP), and dibutyryl cyclic GMP (dbcGMP), respectively, in the presence of “S-cysteine”. The individual pancreatic enzymes were isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the inc
Reducing train delays important in many countries, even in those like Japan, where punctuality is already high. There is a clear pattern across the literature that the delays typically occur at stations and are recovered on line sections. Previous work has shown that one explanation for this is that trains interact at stations. When trains have different speeds or stopping patterns, overtakes are Reducing train delays important in many countries, even in those like Japan, where punctuality is already high.

Fracture behavior of an ultra thin Aluminium foil was studied. For very short crack lengths, fracture has been followed in the scanner electronic microscope (SEM) with a tensile stage. A single edge notched tension specimen was used. Crack length and applied load during the crack growth were measured. These results have been used to calculate fracture strength using linear elastic fracture mechani
Speed control is the most important aspect of promoting road safety world-wide. The question is how are speeds developing? The European Transport Safety Council concludes: There is little progress on reducing speeds in Europe. Similar conclusions can be drawn from the US and Australia. Attitude surveys show that people’s answers are not very consistent and represent statements without any strong b
Vad är en kompetensportfölj? En samling arbetsprover som visar upp den egna kompetensen? En elektronisk plattform för dokumentlagring? En övning i reflektion och utveckling? I denna rapport samlas erfarenheter från medarbetare vid Lunds universitet som under perioden 2015–2016 har arbetat med kompetensportföljer – för studenter och lärare. Rapporten redovisar resultat från tre delprojekt: • Utvec
I denna uppsats har jag genom ett kvalitativt, sociologiskt tillvägagångssätt undersökt hur och varför de anställda tvingas sälja känslor och identitet inom lågkvalificerad service, med inriktning på försäljning. Syftet är att ifrån ett symboliskt interaktionistiskt perspektiv, kritiskt belysa problem som uppstår i samband med att vi bygger ett samhälle på ekonomiska principer. Hur individer genom
Sverige har historiskt sett haft ett generöst konsolideringssystem för koncerner med stora avdragsmöjligheter. Avdragsmöjligheten för bland annat ränta har dock begränsats i allt större utsträckning på grund av viktigare samhällsintressen, så som ett förhindrande av skatteflykt och aggressiv skatteplanering. Ett resultat av detta är att det år 2019 trädde i kraft nya generella ränteavdragsbegränPreviously Sweden has had a generous consolidation system for groups with large deduction possibilities. However, the possibility of interest deductions, among other things, has increasingly been limited due to more important societal interests, such as preventing tax evasion and tax avoidance practices. As a result, new general interest limitation rules were put into practice in 2019 affecting
Increasing demand for higher data rates in wireless communication systems has tremendously evolved over the last years. This demand is rapidly increasing with rising in number of wireless devices. Advanced antenna systems (AAS) – known as massive MIMO – is one of the central enabling radio technologies for 5G cellular systems that significantly increase the data rates provided for data-hungry appl

Sverige har länge haft en hög andel förnybar energi och är ett av de medlemsländer i den Europeiska unionen (EU) som kommit längst i sin energiomställning. För att nå EU:s klimat- och energimål samt hantera ett förändrat geopolitiskt läge har det reviderade Förnybarhetsdirektivet, (RED III) antagits. Direktivet kräver att medlemsstaterna utser så kallade accelerationsområden där tillståndsförfaranSweden has for a long period of time obtained and maintained a high share of renewable energy and is one of the member states in the European union (EU) that has made the most progress in its energy transition. To meet the EU´s climate and energy targets and address a shifting geopolitical landscape, the EU has adopted the revised Renewable Energy Directive, (RED III). The directive requires membe
