Aktivt kol har identifierats som en av de mer effektiva metoderna när det kommer till att avlägsna organiska mikroföroreningar (OMF) från avloppsvatten. Aktivt kol är ett poröst material med stor ytarea som kan adsorbera andra ämnen. Det är inget som existerar naturligt utan behöver framställas. Framställningen kan ske från i princip vilket material som helst som har en hög kolhalt. En stor del avActivated carbon has been identified as one of the more effective methods of removing organic micropollutants (OMP) from wastewater. Activated carbon is a porous material with a large surface area that allows adsorption of other substances. The material does not exist naturally and therefore has to be produced. The production can be done from any carbon-rich material and today the precursor is mai

Denna uppsats behandlar förekomsten av rumslig autokorrelation i residualer till paneldatamodeller med tvåvägsfel. Tre modelltyper undersöks: den linjära paneldatamodellen, en dynamisk paneldatamodell och en spatial paneldatamodell. Ett känt resultat för den linjära modellen, att minsta kvadrat-skattaren tillämpad på oberoende observationer resulterar i en rumslig korrelation i residualserien varsThis thesis examines the spatial autocorrelation in residuals of two-way error panel data models. Three types of models are examined: the standard linear panel data model, the dynamic panel data model, and the spatial lag panel data model. A known theoretical result for the linear model, that the within estimator applied to independent observations results in a spatial correlation in the residuals

Rising costs of healthcare in most OECD-countries have contributed to a quest for research into the field of healthcare costs and efficiency, something that has not been free of controversies. As a result of that, healthcare financers as well as providers have become more inclined to measure performance and compare themselves to others with the same responsibilities. In Sweden, the Association of

Extreme heat can lead to a significant increase in mortality, especially for urban citizens. Densification of urban areas can dramatically affect the local climate of the city by replacing green areas with impermeable materials and changing both radiative and turbulent fluxes. The assessment of the thermal comfort in urban areas is an important consideration for local municipalities to mitigate zo

Empirical evidence on the effect of natural resource dependence on education so far has revealed mixed results. As a result of the ongoing controversy, this examination offers the opportunity to extend knowledge about the relationship between natural resource dependence and education. Using a panel dataset of 26 Indonesian provinces from 1996 to 2012 a fixed effects regression is performed to inve

Although much research has been conducted regarding the uneven distribution of land in developing countries, such work tends to focus on rural land dispossession. In turn, land inequality in urban property markets of vulnerable economies remains somewhat understudied. Based on a case-study of Asunción, Paraguay, this thesis employs a Marxian political economy framework to investigate the developme

The aim of this thesis is to discover facts about the Sweden democrats by looking at statistics of five different municipalities. The main question at issue is: What can you say about the Sweden democrat's voters by researching the voter statistics of the voter districts in the municipalities. The five municipalities who are the object of the study are, Helsingborg, Hässleholm, Landskrona, Sve

Context. The Bulge is the least understood major stellar population of the Milky Way. Most of what we know about the formation and evolution of the Bulge comes from bright giant stars. The underlying assumption that giants represent all the stars, and accurately trace the chemical evolution of a stellar population, is under debate. In particular, recent observations of a few microlensed dwarf star

The Icelandic highlands are one of the few places left in Europe where tourists can experience pristine wilderness. During the past decades the highlands have, however, witnessed a rapid expansion in natural resource exploitation. This study attempts to evaluate the pristine condition of Icelandic wilderness by testing different methods of identifying and analysing wilderness with respect to natur

Along with the global decline of species richness goes a loss of ecological traits. Associated biotic homogenization of animal communities and narrowing of trait diversity threaten ecosystem functioning and human well-being. High management intensity is regarded as an important ecological filter, eliminating species that lack suitable adaptations. Below-ground arthropods are assumed to be less sen

This thesis consists of three self-contained papers studying different topics in health economics. The first chapter studies the substitution effect between in-person physician visits and a new type of doctor visits, direct-to-consumer (DCT) telemedicine, where a person can call a doctor directly via an app. To causally assess to which degree DCT consultations substitute for in-person consultation

BACKGROUND: Stereotypes may prevail, but little is known about the influence that the sex of an orthopaedic surgeon may have on outcomes. In a recently published study, there were no differences in the rate of adverse events following total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed by female or male orthopaedic surgeons. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether there was any differe

The oxygen content of ancient seawater has been hypothesized to be a major controlling factor for biodiversity throughout Earth's history. The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) represents one of the largest increases in biodiversity during the Phanerozoic, with peak rates of diversity occurring in the Middle–Late Ordovician. Multiple causal factors have resulted in this long-term ad

Både globalt sett och ur ett individmässigt perspektiv är vatten den mest betydelsefulla resursen vi har på jorden. Kunskap om grundvatten och grundvattenbildning är viktigt ur många perspektiv, som exempelvis miljömässigt, samhällsekonomiskt och byggnadstekniskt. Denna uppsats är skriven vid Lunds Universitet inom Miljövetenskap och syftar till att belysa grundvattenbildning till kristallin berggBoth globally and from an individual perspective, water is the most important resource we have on earth. Knowledge of groundwater and groundwater recharge is important from many perspectives, such as environmental, socio-economic and structural engineering. The thesis is written at Lund University in Environmental sciences and aims to highlight groundwater recharge to the crystalline bedrock and g

I samband med olje- och gasprospektering genomförda av OPAB, Gotlandsolja AB samt SGU har omfattande geofysiska mätningar (seismik) och borrhålsundersökningar gjorts. Studien som presenteras här baseras på data och information från dessa undersökningar med syfte till en geofysisk karaktärisering och tolkning av södra Gotlands tre ordoviciska kalkstensenheter samt den underliggande mellankambriska In connection with oil and gas exploration conducted by OPAB, Gotlandsolja AB and surveys done by SGU, extensive geophysical investigations and borehole survey have been carried out. This study is based on data and information from those surveys with the intention of creating a geophysical characterization and interpretation of the Ordovician limestone units and the underlying Middle Cambrian sand

An artistic interpretation on migration at Wisdome Malmö 19 January to 30 May 2026 An international artist group group consisting of Ioana Cojocariu, Radomir Majewski, Neil Luck and Monika Czyżyk has been commissioned by Malmö Museum to create a new digital and immersive artistic interpretation on migration for the visualisation arena Wisdome Malmö. As part of the development process, the group wi
