MAX-lab is a national synchrotron radiation facility in Lund. Nowadays, the MAX project consist of three facilities (three storage rings). A new storage ring is needed to improve material science, such as nanotechnology. MAX IV, also in Lund, will be 100 times more efficient than already existing synchrotron radiation facilities. The storage ring is controlled by a large number of magnets that are
My thesis is based on- and a further development of an evaluation I made of an IT-project aimed at the young and socially excluded. By opening IT-cafés in certain housing areas, the aim of this project was to strengthen the IT-skills of the young and to create social networks. With my study as an example, I want to elucidate the formation process of a project. What happens when different companies
We used comparative studies to investigate how and why floral and bee fragrances evolve, including courtship odors collected by male Euglossa mixta to form their tibial bouquet, on Coiba Island and other Panama forests. Fragrances of four orchid genera, two used extensively by E. mixta - Coryanthes and Mormodes - and two never used, Clowesia and Catasetum - were also analyzed. From among 636 chemi
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has been shown to decrease aneurysm related mortality. Likely by providing an opportunity to intervene while the aneurysm is still intact, but possibly also when and the anatomy still relatively uncomplicated which would provide a less complex procedure. Our aim was to retrospectively investigate the complexity of repair for scr
Background: Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption have been intensively studied in the general population to assess their effects on the risk of breast cancer, but very few studies have examined these effects in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Given the high breast cancer risk for mutation carriers and the importance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in DNA repair, better evidence on the associations of the
Around the world there are people who are on the run, among these people there is a large number of unaccompanied refugee children who for various reasons have been displaced and separated from their parents. When an unaccompanied refugee child is arriving to Sweden, one of the first questions is where the child will live. In Sweden, these unaccompanied children first arrive to a municipality. In
Eftersom Storbritannien efter mer än 30 år sedan CISG:s ikraftträdande fortfarande inte har anslutit sig till konventionen, frågan uppstår om varför så är fallet. Kan det vara så att det till en viss del kan bero på skillnader angående hur den engelska tillämpliga lagen ifråga och CISG ställer sig till skyldigheten att betala skadestånd? Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra de likheter och skillnaSince the U.K. after more than 30 years from the CISG’s enforcement still has not adopted the Convention, the question arises; how come? Could it be that this partially is due to differences in how the English applicable law and the CISG addresses liability for damages? The objective of this paper is to elucidate the similarities and differences in the two laws, regarding the seller’s obligation t
The purpose of this study was to examine the nursing auxiliaries’ experiences before, during and after the implementation of Alsterbromodellen. The implementation of Alsterbromodellen meant that home care staff and residential care staff got consolidated and performed the same tasks. More specifically the aim was to find out how Alsterbromodellen has made an impact on the nursing auxiliaries’ work
The aim of this masters’ thesis is to examine how libraries can better services for patrons with invisible disabilities. My hypothesis is that although libraries are legally obliged to pay special attention to persons with disabilities, in reality the special needs of persons with invisible disabilities are often ignored. Invisible disabilities are disabilities that are not immediately apparent. T
Uppsatsen behandlar gällande rätt rörande arbetstagarens integritet och kravet på dennes lojalitet inom svensk arbetsrätt.

Bread dough was studied in relation to three Andean grain flours, quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) and canahua (Chenopodium pallidicaule), as partial replacements for wheat flour with the perspectives of dough and breadmaking. This thesis deals with the understanding of both dough as a complex system, consisting of various water-filled polymers, and dough as a viscoelast
Agricultural land use results in multiple stressors affecting stream ecosystems. Flow reduction due to water abstraction, elevated levels of nutrients and chemical contaminants are common agricultural stressors worldwide. Concurrently, stream ecosystems are also increasingly affected by climate change. Interactions among multiple co-occurring stressors result in biological responses that cannot be
BACKGROUND: Increasing life expectancy for people with an intellectual disability (ID) is resulting in more persons with cancer and a greater need for end-of-life (EoL) care. There is a need for knowledge of health care utilisation over the last year of life to plan for resources that support a high quality of care for cancer patients with ID. Therefore, the aims of the study were to compare (1) h
Head Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is still a commonly obtained diagnostic test for patients with minor head injury despite availability of clinical decision rules to guide imaging use and recommendations to reduce radiation exposure resulting from unnecessary imaging. This prospective multi-center observational study of 251 patients with suspected mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Background. In SBRT of lung tumours no established relationship between dose-volume parameters and the incidence of lung toxicity is found. The aim of this study is to compare the LQ model and the universal survival curve (USC) to calculate biologically equivalent doses in SBRT to see if this will improve knowledge on this relationship. Material and methods. Toxicity data on radiation pneumonitis
Objective To examine change in health-related quality of life in association with clinical outcomes of neuropsychiatric events in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Sex trafficking has from six hundred thousand to four million victims each year (McCabe and Manian, 2010: 41-43). Because of different legal barriers, sex trafficking is closely associated with organized crime; crime victims often do not search for support from legal systems, law enforcement authorities, or other officials (ibid.) This thesis was to understand how law affects the ability of preven
