Restored salt marsh; topography, hydrology and vegetation Coastal salt marshes are shaped through a combination of physical (i.e., sediment accumulation/erosion) and biological (i.e., vegetation) processes. They are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation. The accretion rate and elevation change has been indicated as one of the most important factors in ecology of the marshes. T
In 2009 the project Reva was initiated with the purpose of ameliorate legal certainty and to reduce the trial period, increasing the efficiency and procedures for enforcing the administration of asylum seekers in Sweden. The project was first launched as a pilot project in Malmö in 2011. The project is now operative in the Swedish society at large. The news and social media began reporting how the
Reklam har olika budskap för att påverka och influera oss. Denna uppsats syftar till kvalitativt undersöka hur samhällsideal och normer konstrueras i sex specifika Calvin Klein parfym reklamfilmer. Vidare syftar studien till att studera hur reklamfilmerna använder sig av genusrelaterade konstruktioner och stereotypa bilder. Den här uppsatsen har schematiskt tittat på ett bestämt antal aspekter i a
The purpose of this thesis is to study the marketing of Roskilde Festival through social media and Roskilde Road Trip Malmö as a case. My main research questions are: What does the maketing of the festival look like in social media? How does the marketing of Roskilde Festival relate to three of the four P:s? Is there something special about their marketing? Has the poster and the artists on it cha

First, this study examines how social worker
Olika personer har olika acceptans för bakgrundsbrus vid samtidig lyssning till tal. Akustiska parametrar och sensoriska aspekter har hittills inte kunnat förklara variationen. Högre funktioner som t.ex. arbetsminne tros vara en av de bakomliggande mekanismerna men orsakerna är inte väl utredda. Testet Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) mäter acceptans för bakgrundsbrus men spridningen av resultat på AN
Lead in blood is a major concept in biomonitoring of exposure but investigations of its alternatives are scarce. The aim of the study was to describe different lead biomarkers' variances, day-to-day and between individuals, estimating their fraction of the total variance. Repeated sampling of whole blood, plasma and urine were conducted for 48 lead-exposed men and 20 individuals under normal envir
We present evidence for mixed molecular and dissociative water adsorption at monolayer coverage on a rutile TiO2(110) surface free from oxygen vacancies using synchrotron radiation photoemission. At monolayer coverage the OH:H2O ratio is close to 0.5 and reducing the coverage by heating yields an increased OH:H2O ratio. At room temperature neither species originating from the monolayer on the defe
To facilitate reliable and accurate modeling of the late transition metal oxides from first principles, we present detailed and systematic calculations of the dynamical screened Coulomb interactions (Hubbard U) of MnO, FeO, CoO, and NiO within the constrained random-phase approximation. The matrix elements of the screened interactions are calculated in maximally localized Wannier functions. We con
We describe an one-step 11-min magnetic permeability based two-site immunoassay for C-reactive protein (CRP) utilizing polyclonal anti-canine CRP antibody conjugated dextran iron oxide nanoparticles (79 nm) as superparamagnetic labels and polyclonal anti-canine CRP conjugated silica microparticles (15 to 40 mu m) as carriers. An inductance based magnetic permeability reader was used to detect the
A search for heavy long-lived multi-charged particles is performed using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Data collected in 2012 at [Formula: see text] TeV from pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text]are examined. Particles producing anomalously high ionisation, consistent with long-lived massive particles with electric charges from [Formula: see text] t
Background. A contralateral tumor occurs in 3.5-5% of men diagnosed with testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC). Biopsy of the contralateral testis may detect intratubular germ cell neoplasia ITGCNU, a precursor of TGCC. Biopsy of the contralateral testis to detect ITGCNU is controversial. If adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) protects against bilateral cancer is debated. Material and methods. A total of 100
In the present study, a simple and reliable antioxidant screening technique based on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) oxidation by Cu2+-mediated Fenton's reaction has successfully been developed. Oxidation of LDH by hydroxyl radical consequently leads to enzymatic inactivation, while addition of antioxidants can protect and regain enzyme activity. This method demonstrated a high feasibility on detectin
Using classical design optimization methods for implant-bone studies does not completely guarantee a safety and satisfactory performance, due in part to the randomness of bone properties and loading. Here, the material properties of the different bone layers are considered as uncertain parameters. So their corresponding yield stress values will not be deterministic, that leads to integrate variabl
Drug repurposing or re-profiling has become an effective strategy to identify novel indications for already-approved drugs. In this study, peptidomimetic FDA-approved HIV/HCV inhibitors were explored for their potential to be repurposed for the inhibition of the replication of dengue (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) by targeting the NS2B-NS3 and NSP2 protease, respectively. MM/GBSA-based bindi
The functional significance of fibrin deposits typically seen in inflammatory lesions, carcinomas and in healing wounds is not fully understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that fibrinogen/fibrin specifically bound to native Col I (collagen type I) and used the Col I fibre network as a base to provide a functional interface matrix that connects cells to the Col I fibres through alpha V be
