Trender av svampbekämpningsmedlet Klorotalonil i gravidas blod över en 18-årsperiod Bekämpningsmedlet Klorotalonil (CHT) har funnits länge och använts på en mängd olika typer av grönsaker, vilket är förbjudet i Sverige och även Europa idag. Ändå hittades det nyligen i gravida skånska kvinnor och har fortsatt upptäckts i gravida kvinnors blod kontinuerligt under de senaste 18 åren. Sannolikt finnsAgricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess the stability as well as temporal trends of

This paper sheds light on companies’ valuation of ESG performance by examining the potential impact that the ESG-score of the target firm has on bid premiums in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A). While extensive research has been conducted on sustainable investing, no consensus regarding the influence of ESG performance on M&A activities has been reached. With a sample of 224 deals complete

Despite its sandy beaches, lush forest, and many sunshine hours, Bornholm was placed on a list along with 23 other municipalities as a peripheral area by Erhvervsstyrelsen in 2014. This designation means that the municipality’s income per capita is less than 90 percent of the national average and over an hour away from a large city. Being called a peripheral area can come with many negative assump

New research suggests that the key to explaining the development gap might be resilience to shrinking instead of increasing growth rates. Latin America is considered an improving region from the growth rate point of view in development, but not so much from the shrinking perspective. Plus, country case study is needed as the region itself is highly heterogenous. One of the countries that has lagge

The purpose of the thesis is to design a new antenna system and to verify its link performance in 5G FR2 mmWave frequency for handheld devices to enable cellular communication. The main objective is to design an antenna primarily at 28GHz and 39GHz to enhance spectrum efficiency, along with improved transmission data rates, enabling new cases like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and

Kan förhöjda halter av näring och humusämnen från jordbruksmark och skog påverka kvalitén på vårt dricksvatten? Försämrad vattenkvalitet, ökade farliga algblomningar och minskad biodiversitet kan vara framtiden för våra vattendrag, på grund av de miljöförändringar vi står inför idag. I detta projekt undersökte jag hur framtiden kan se ut för en av våra sjöar vi får dricksvatten från här i söder,The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. Using a mesocosm experiment, this study investigates the individual and

In the last few years there has been an ongoing debate concerning the methods of assessing the quality of public libraries and their services. This study investigates the opinions and needs of the users at four different public libraries in Malm : the local libraries in Bellevueg rden, Limhamn, and Kirseberg, and the main library in central Malm .

Our paper is a study about youth and their self-images. During our practical training period we found that the problems young people had always were connected with their self-image. We therefore wanted to find out what youth believe influence their self-image. The purpose of our study was to examine young people and their self-images in a perspective of the ecological systems model. Essential issu

Definition: The Mbuluzi River runs through Swaziland and Mozambique into the Indian Ocean. Due to water shortage, population increase and growing industrial and agricultural sectors, high stress is being put on the water quality. The importance of keeping good water quality is accentuated by the fact that the River is shared between two countries and that it supports both capitals with drinking wa

Climate changes have had marked impacts on the natural systems. However its impact will be significant with the hydrological cycle. It is agreed that climate change have adverse impacts on socio-economic development of all nations. But, it is expected that its impact will hit developing countries the worst. The objective of this thesis is to assess the impact of climate change on Gilgel Abay River

At the foundation of most inequalities in expression of sexuality lie the social constructions of gender. For this reason I consider sex and sexuality education as a possibility to challenge institutionalised sexism and enhance sexual well-being. As sex education has become a battle of morality, non-governmental organisations and others can be seen as alternatives to the national curriculum plan e

Målet med denna studie var att undersöka elevers och lärares uppfattningar om olika mobbningsinterventioners effektivitet på en årskurs 6-9 skola i södra Sverige. Avsikten var även att jämföra dessa två grupper, samt titta på olika aspekter hos elevgruppen så som kön, ålder och involvering i mobbning. Urvalet bestod av 375 elever och 25 lärare. Studiens viktigaste resultat var att lärare skattar iThe aim of this study was to investigate the views of students and teachers, at a middle school in the south of Sweden, about the efficacy of different anti-bullying interventions. The purpose was also to compare these two groups, and look at differences within the student population when it came to their sex, age and involvement in bullying. The sample consisted of 375 students and 25 teachers. T

This thesis aims to reveal the role and significance of occupational clothing for the wearers, exposing some of the thoughts, ideas and opinions that pharmacy workers have about their work uniform, the white coat. My own experiences from working in an environment (a pharmacy) where occupational uniforms were used was one of the reasons for selecting this thesis topic. My interest was also consolid

This study examines and compares theoretical CDS spreads created by a structural framework with empirical CDS spreads. The model employed is the CreditGrades model based on the Merton framework from 1974 which calculate default probabilities and credit spreads from balance sheet and equity data. The aim is to measure how well the model can explain the observed CDS spreads and if it has any predict

Artificial insemination using the husband's sperm (AIH) and artificial insemination using sperm from a donor (AID) are artificial techniques which have been used for a long time, however, other forms of artificial procreation such as, in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg donation, embryo donation, and surrogacy are seen as truly modern reproductive techniques and did not come into use until the m

Popular Abstract in Swedish C-Med 100, en naturmedicin med immunomodulerande egenskaper Vårt immunsystem skyddar oss mot infektioner från bakterier, virus och parasiter. För att detta ska fungera behövs många olika egenskaper och idag delas immunsystemet in i två delar, en ospecifik och en specifik. Den ospecifika delen består av hud, slemhinnor, magsyra och olika celler som snabbt tar sig till etExtracts from the bark of the vine Uncaria tomentosa have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimutagenic and antioxidant effects. In this study, we evaluate the effects of an Uncaria tomentosa extract, denoted C-Med 100, on the cellular level of the immune system both in vivo and in vitro. Our results indicated that lymphocytes had significantly prolonged half life after in vivo supplementation with

Popular Abstract in Swedish Introduktion: 1) Prostatacancer Prostatakörteln Prostatan, eller blåshalskörteln, är belägen strax nedanför urinblåsan hos män, där den omsluter urinrörets översta del. Denna, i normala fall valnötsstora körtel, producerar ett sekret som utgör en del av sädesvätskan. Hos yngre män uppstår ibland infektioner i prostatakörteln. Många äldre män får en godartad prostatafThis thesis is based on research concerning epidemiological, clinical, and psychological aspects of familial and hereditary prostate cancer. Epidemiology: Male first-degree relatives of prostate cancer patients had a three-fold increased prostate cancer risk. The risk was higher for relatives of younger patients than for relatives of older patients, most likely due to the effect of the higher pre
