The momentum and energy injection from supernovae is one of the main feedback modes, and is therefore key to the understanding of galaxy evolution and star formation. However, due to low resolution, large scale galaxy simulations often have issues with accurately modelling supernovae, and therefore rely on sub-grid models. This is especially true for the injected momentum, where capturing the mome
The consumption and production of livestock have a negative impact on the environment and climate. In many Western countries, the consumption is particularly high and it is expected to increase globally. This increase will lead to further pressure on already stressed planetary boundaries. Recently edible insects have been proposed to be an alternative to conventional meat, because they have a lowe
I denna uppsats genomförs en kritisk granskning av kriminaliseringen av olaga förföljelse som infördes i brottsbalken år 2011. Granskningen görs främst i förhållande till den straffrättsliga preventionsteorin, men även gentemot de kriterier för kriminalisering som formulerat i doktrin och förarbeten. Straffrättssystemets syfte är främst att påverka medborgarna att avhålla sig från oönskade gärninIn this essay I conduct a critical review of the criminalisation of the crime ”illegal persecution” which was included in the Swedish penal code in 2011. The review is made first and foremost in the light of the criminal law theory of the criminal system as preemptive, bur also in the light of the criminalisation criteria which has been formulated both in the criminal doctrine, and in the legislat
The expansion of Swedish wind energy grid has come at the cost of environmental, economic and social controversy, in which the issue of landscape quality change plays a prominent role. Tourism, an industry highly reliant on visual consumption of the landscape, is especially sensitive to this change. Scholars have repeatedly harvested evidences of a weak, but negative correlation between wind power
Malnourishment, food insecurity, food swamps and obesity. These are only a few of the detrimental effects of the current food system, a product of industrialization and path dependence within unsustainable practices. As sustainability issues in general, the inherent complexity that the Los Angeles food system is characterized by requires collective action by stakeholders from across the public, pr
The availability of a “male network” of family members and/or friends may be decisive for the outcome of a woman’s asylum application. As it is recognised under the jurisprudence of ECtHR and Swedish asylum adjudicators that women, who originates from countries where societal structures maintain women’s reliance on men, are particularly vulnerable. The Migration Agency, the Swedish decision-making
Riksdagen har under hösten 2020 antagit de lagförslag som utarbetats i prop. 2019/20:190 Ekonomiskt arbetsgivarbegrepp – förändrade skatteregler vid tillfälligt arbete i Sverige. Den mest omtalade ändringen avser den s.k. 183-dagarsregeln i SINK och övergången från ett formellt till ett ekonomiskt arbetsgivarbegrepp. I propositionen presenterades det även lagförslag som numera innebär kraftigt ökaThe Swedish parliament adopted during the late autumn of 2020 the law proposals that were suggested by the Swedish government in prop. 2019/20:190 Ekonomiskt arbetsgivarbegrepp – förändrade skatteregler vid tillfälligt arbete i Sverige. The most debated topic has been the changes in the so called 183-day rule in SINK and the transition from a formal to an economic employer approach. In the same bi
Background: Meniscus extrusion or hypertrophy may occur in knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, currently no data are available on the position and size of the meniscus in asymptomatic men and women with normal meniscus integrity. Methods: Three-dimensional coronal DESSwe MRIs were used to segment and quantitatively measure the size and position of the medial and lateral menisci, and their correlati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Övergripande syfte Syftet med avhandlingen var att utvärdera hur en förenklad metod för diagnostisering av blodproppar i benets djupa ådror (djup ventrombos (DVT)) fungerar i svensk rutinsjukvård. Den förenklade metoden innebär användning av en strukturerad klinisk sannolikhetsbedömning tillsammans med ett blodprov (D-dimer test). Vi jämförde också vår D-dimermetod med The combination of pre-test clinical probability assessment and D-dimer test is now widely applied in the diagnostic process of DVT. The general objective of the present investigation was to validate these results in a Swedish routine emergency setting were the prevalence of the disease is high and were the clinical probability assessment was handled by many junior physicians. Furthermore, our aim
Background: The widening socioeconomic gap in smoking during pregnancy remains a challenge to the Swedish antenatal care services. However, the influence of cultural factors in explaining the socioeconomic differences in smoking during pregnancy is not clear among the immigrant women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the development of smoking prevalence among pregnant immigrant wo
Understanding the mechanisms of complex polygenic diseases like type 2 diabetes (T2D) is as complex as their nature. Cellular processes involved in glucose homeostasis need high and reliable energy supply. Mitochondria are the major energy producers in mammalian cells. Since majority of the mitochondrial genes are encoded by the nuclear genome, a tightly regulated and coordinated nuclear-mitochond
Background: Knowledge sharing within an organization is one of the main focuses of the knowledge management research field. In today’s globally dispersed business units, and multinational corporations (MNCs), information and communication technology (ICT) tools play an essential role in facilitating knowledge sharing. Previous research has argued the vital role informal contexts as well as physica

Fastighetsköp präglas av betydande ekonomiska värden och ett omfattande regelverk, där jordabalkens strikta formkrav syftar till att säkerställa rättssäkerhet och eftertänksamhet. Samtidigt sker avtalsförhandlingar i svensk rätt som utgångspunkt på egen risk, vilket innebär att kostnader och dispositioner som vidtas före ett bindande avtal normalt inte ersätts om affären inte fullföljs. Denna ordnReal estate transactions are characterised by significant economic values and an extensive regulatory framework, in which the strict formal requirements of the Swedish Land Code aim to ensure legal certainty and careful deliberation. At the same time, contract negotiations under Swedish law are, as a general rule, conducted at the parties’ own risk, meaning that costs and dispositions undertaken p
En av grunderna bakom skiljeförfarandet är att skiljedomen med bindande verkan slutligt avgör tvisten mellan parterna. Det är dessutom så att det saknas möjligheter att överklaga en skiljedom på materiella grunder. I lagen (1999:116) om skiljeförfarande (LSF) finns emellertid vissa möjligheter att få en skiljedom undanröjd. Dessa möjligheter stadgas i 33 och 34 §§ LSF. Av 33 § LSF framgår ogiltighOne of the core principles underlying arbitration is that the arbitration award, with binding effect, finally resolves the dispute between the parties. In addi-tion, there is no possibility to appeal the arbitration award on material grounds. However, the Swedish Arbitration Act (1999:116) provides certain possibilities for having an arbitrational award set aside. These possibilities are laid down
Airborne viral diseases have long been neglected but with the recent devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a catalyst for new science, additional viruses are examined. This thesis investigates the infectivity of Rhinovirus, the virus causing common cold, in differently sized bioaerosols. The experimental setup utilized a bio-aerosol nebulizing generator (BANG) to generate droplets
Galaxies contain a wide variety of star clusters with different properties. Each cluster is a possible source of runaway stars, which can be progenitors of supernovae in other parts of the galaxy than their home cluster. Considering runaway stars in galaxy simulations has shown to increase the galactic feedback. This project investigates how the initial condition of a star cluster affects the velo
Background: Lemierre syndrome is characterized by head/neck vein thrombosis and septic embolism usually complicating an acute oropharyngeal bacterial infection in adolescents and young adults. We described the course of Lemierre syndrome in the contemporary era. Methods: In our individual-level analysis of 712 patients (2000–2017), we included cases described as Lemierre syndrome if these criteria
As climate models can be used to reproduce historical climates, the outcomes can be used to put climate extremes in to a proper historical perspective. This also allows investigation of nonlinear properties of hydrologic processes (e.g. precipitation, runoff) to better understand regional hydrologic dynamics. To this end, the present study uses results from a so-called 'paleosimulation' (i.e. simu
