Recently suggested strategies for ammonia-blended combustion promote the interest in oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels. The development of combustion models for blended fuels is challenging and the cross-reactions are critical to the performance of the models. In this work, comprehensive ab initio thermodynamic and kinetic studies targeting diethyl ether (DEE) and its cross-reactions with NH2 were carr

Den ökade användningen av läkemedel och otillräcklig teknik i reningsverken har lett till allt större halter av läkemedel och andra organiska mikroföroreningar (OMF) i naturliga vatten. Detta har i sin tur konstaterats påverka exempelvis fiskars beteende och fortplantningsförmåga. OMF har även detekterats i det svenska dricksvattnet. På grund av detta har en satsning skett de senaste åren inom forThe increased use of pharmaceuticals in combination with inadequate techniques and procedures in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have resulted in higher concentrations of pharmaceuticals and other organic micro pollutants (OMPs) in the aquatic environment. It has been established that these pollutants have caused changes in the behaviour and reproduction of fishes. Furthermore, these OMPs

En mänsklig rättighet beskrivs som en så fundamental rättighet att varje enskild anses kunna hävda den gentemot det allmänna. Trots det ansågs det inte finnas något behov av ett mellanstatligt skydd innan andra världskriget. Då ansåg man att det var varje stats ensak hur de behandlade sina medborgare men efter andra världskriget aktualiserades nya krav. Detta ledde till att Europarådet bildades 19A human right is described as such a fundamental right that every individual is considered to be able to claim it against the public. Before the Second World War the general opinion was that there was no need for an intergovernmental protection. At this time, it was considered to be every states responsibility how they treated there citizens, but after the Second World War new demands were made. T

Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektriska pulser (PEF) är en nyligen introducerad icke-termisk livsmedelsprocess, som har en karakteristisk påverkan på cellmembranet. PEF-behandling innebär att livsmedlet utsätts för korta och upprepade pulser emellan en anod och en katod. Det huvudsakliga resultatet av denna process är en skada på cellmembranet, som leder till bildandet av antingen tillfälliga ellerA pulsed electric field (PEF) is a newly emerged non-thermal food processing technology which has characteristic effects on the cell membrane. PEF processing involves subjecting food to short, repeated pulses of a high electric field between an anode and a cathode. The main result of this process is the disruption of the cell membrane leading to the formation of either temporary or permanent pores

Uppsatsen tar sikte på att behandla sak- och associationsrättsliga aspekter inom ramen för en aktietransaktion, i synnerhet fokuseras på dispositioner såsom värdepapperslån (eng. securities lending) och blankning (eng. short selling). Det torde vara mycket svårt att föra en talan avseende att en aktieförvärvare skulle vara i ond tro och att denne därigenom inte gjort ett godtrosförvärv av en aktThe purpose of this paper is to examine a number of property- and corporate law aspects within the framework of a transaction of shares, targeting primarily dispositions such as securities lending and short selling. Since it ought to be difficult to bring a successful claim against a share purchaser, claiming that he was in bad faith while acquiring the shares and thus did not make an acquisitio

One of the most common types of bridges in Sweden is the integral bridge. What characterizes the integral bridge is the lack of bearings and expansion joints. The advantage of this construction is that the horizontal forces can be distributed throughout the structure. A problem is the restraint forces that occur due to, for instance, changes in temperature. Integral bridges are now often designed

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxthormon (GH) insöndras stötvis från hypofysen. Insöndringen är som högst nattetid, och de högsta nivåerna ses under puberteten för att därefter avta succecivt med ökande ålder. En av de vanligaste orsakerna till brist på GH är godartade tumörer i hypofys och hypofysnära områden där även behandling med kirurgi och strålbehandling kan bidra till hypofysinsufficiensIn childhood onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD) a reduction in cardiac left ventricular mass (LVMi) and impairment of cardiac systolic function, as well as in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been shown. In study I, we showed that a low dose of GH treatment for 10 months resulted in increased LVMi and kidney size. No significant improvement in cardiac systolic function or GFR, except for a

Patienters behandlingspreferenser har under de senaste tre decennierna uppmärksammats som en potentiell moderator för behandlingsresultat. En dubbelrandomiserad forskningsdesign, ”Doubly Randomised Controlled Preference Trial” (DRCPT), där patienter randomiseras antingen till ett val mellan behandlingar eller till slumpmässig fördelning till en av behandlingarna, anses vara en av de mest lämpliga Patient preferences have drawn considerable attention as a potential moderator of treatment outcome. The Doubly Randomised Controlled Preference Trial (DRCPT) in which patients are randomised to a choice between two or more treatments or random assignment to one of these same treatments is considered one of the most rigorous tests of the effects of patient preferences on outcomes. To date, there h
