Bakgrund: I flera havsnära kommuner finns attraktiv mark med vattennära och central lokalisering som utnyttjas ineffektivt. Hur kan man ta tillvara på denna mark och hur har tidigare exploateringar genomförts? Utgångspunkten för studien var att hitta en bättre användning för mark i hamnområden vilket födde exjobbsidén. Svårigheter i exploateringsprojekt inom hamnområden har tidigare varit förknippBackground: In several seaside municipalities, there are attractive pieces of land with central location, near the water, that are inefficiently used. How is the land utilized and how has previous exploitation projects been carried out? The starting point for the study was to find a better use for ground areas in harbours, which gave birth to the idea for this master thesis. Difficulties in earlie

Optiskt stimulerad luminiscens, OSL, är en dateringsmetod som går att tillämpa på geologiska material med en ålder på ca 1 år-200 000 år. Dateringsmetoden grundar sig i att mineralkorn påverkas av naturlig, radioaktiv bakgrundsstrålning och därför ackumulerar energi inom sig, en process som endast sker under mörka/ svala förhållanden. Denna energi kan sedan frigöras genom att mineralkornet utsättsOptically stimulated luminescence, OSL, is a dating method applicable to geological material with an age of ca. 1 year-200 000 years. The dating method is based on the mineral grains reaction to natural, radioactive background radiation, and their ability to accumulate energy within themselves, a process that takes place continuously during dark/cool conditions. This energy may be released by subj

The aim of this thesis is to study the differences between cut marks made of stone and metal tools on animal bones. The focus will be on four sites in southern Sweden from the time period Late Bronze Age to Pre-Roman Iron Age. There have been previous studies about cut marks and the differences between them, but only a few focus on the same question as in this thesis; when do you start to see a di

I Sverige utgörs majoriteten av våra grundvattenresurser av isälvavlagringar i form av rullstensåsar och isälvsdeltan bestående av sand och grus. Isälvsavlagringarna är utan tvekan de mest betydelsefulla grundvattenförekomsterna för Sveriges dricksvattenförsörjning. Mer än 80% av landets alla vattenverk utnyttjar vatten från dessa resurser. En ojämn fördelning av grundvattenresurserna i kombinatioMost of Sweden’s groundwater resources are made up from glacifluvial deposits such as eskers and deltas that consist of sand and gravel. Glacifluvial deposits are certainly the most significant groundwater resources for drinking water supplies in Sweden. Groundwater resources are used to supply more than 80% of all the existing water plants nationwide. These important resources have an uneven dist

In recent years, history of knowledge has been established as a new theoretical field in the study of history. An important perspective in this field is the theory of circulation of knowledge, according to which knowledge should be studied through its movement between different spheres in society – movement that, furthermore, contributes to changing this knowledge. A promising line of inquiry in t

Background: The benefits of exercise in mild and moderate knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) are apparent, but the evidence in severe OA is less clear. We recently reported that neuromuscular training was well tolerated and feasible in patients with severe primary hip or knee OA. The aims of this controlled before-and-after study were to compare baseline status to an age-matched population-based refe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Energianvändningen i världen måste minska drastiskt inom en snar framtid för att därmed minska utsläppen av växthusgaser och bromsa klimatförändringarna. Energi och handlande med energikällor har även blivit nationella säkerhetsfrågor. Inom Europeiska Unionen används ungefär 40% av den totala energianvändningen i byggnader, vilket innebär ungefär 36% av det totala koldiThe use of energy is a major global issue both according to climate changes but also in the aspect of national safety tied to the trade with energy sources. Of the total energy use in the member states of the European Union, about 40% is used in residential and commercial buildings. Passive houses are one way to reduce the energy use in buildings and at the same time keep a good indoor comfort. Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cystisk fibros (CF) är en ärftlig sjukdom som orsakas av en defekt jonkanal. Denna defekt ger upphov till en onormal saltbalans i kroppen och följderna blir många. I lungorna och magtarmkanalen produceras ett väldigt segt slem vilket täpper till luftvägarna och medför andningssvårigheter. De slemfyllda lungorna klarar inte av att transportera upp slemmet och istället stCystic fibrosis is an inherited disease, caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene. The gene codes for a protein that serve as chloride channel. In cystic fibrosis, this protein is lacking or has a defect function resulting in a thick and sticky mucus of the airways. The altered airway environment promotes mucus and growth of pathogenic bacteria. A common

The indigenista novel is a realistic novel with a strongly ideological character that was developed primarily in the Andean countries (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador) during the first half of the 20th century with the purpose of making the reader aware of the living conditions of the indigenous Native American population. The overall aim of this study was to investigate the female characters in five of th

Colorectal cancers are globally ranked as the third most common cancer form in terms of incidence and mortality. Diet has long been considered as one of the main factors affecting population outcome regarding development of cancer in the colon. Numerous epidemiological studies have found links between consumption of dietary fibres and milk and reduced risk of cancers including colon cancer. To be

Service screening with mammography was implemented in Sweden in the late 80's, following the results from trials in Sweden and abroad. A high rate of attendance, a high diagnostic accuracy and treatment in accordance with established guidelines are key circumstances for an effective screening programme. These factors have to be continuously monitored. One trial was carried out 1976-86 in the city

Statistical analysis of long-term morphological data on coastal sedimentary features provides important information on the processes governing these features and their evolution in space and time. In this paper, seasonal, yearly and decadal (i.e. long-term) behavior of coastal morphological features is derived from field data by using both simple and advanced statistical techniques. The sedimentar

Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Systemisk Lupus Erytematosus (SLE) är en kronisk inflammatorisk system sjukdom. Sjukdomen yttrar sig med stor variation, både avseende vilka organ områden och med vilken intensitet olika organ kan bli engagerade. Genom åren har prognosen för sjukdomen i sig dramatiskt förbättrats, genom att alla typer av organ manifestationer kan behandlas. SeSystemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of disease manifestations with respect to severity and magnitude of organ involvement. An increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with the general population causes both morbidity and mortality in SLE patients. Consequently prevention, early detection and treatment of arteriosclerotic manifestations are of high

This thesis deals with motion in language and non-linguistic experience, distinguishing between actual motion (AM) and non-actual motion (NAM). AM is the experience of continuous change in an object’s position, expressed in sentences such as 'The man runs through the forest' and 'The woman is walking'. NAM refers to dynamic qualities involved in conceiving or perceiving static situations and is ex

Organic farming may contribute substantially to future agricultural production worldwide by improving soil quality and pest control, thereby reducing environmental impacts of conventional farming. We investigated in a comprehensive way soil chemical, as well as below and aboveground biological parameters of two organic and two conventional wheat farming systems that primarily differed in fertiliza

During the prolonged course of chronic viral infection there is a continuous reciprocal interaction between the host immune defence system and the viral immunogens, and viral genetic mutations capable of circumventing host immune defence could be selected for. Our observation of increasing prevalence of heterogeneity in the DNA sequence coding for the ‘a1 determinant of HBsAg in patients with pres

All cellular organisms in aquatic environments are susceptible to virus attack. Viruses are the smallest but most abundant biological entities in freshwaters. This thesis describes interactions between viruses and bacteria in temperate and polar freshwaters with particular emphasis on Arctic and Antarctic aquatic systems. Free virus-like particles in freshwaters are vulnerable and exposed and as p

Existential biography does not so much search for a logical development in a person’s life as for the opportunities to shape and choose between different paths. Instead of using identities, which are often ambiguous in the extreme, I follow the Swedish historian Henrik Rosengren in his use of different cultural identifications that together form an identity. Identifications are changeable and mani

In this paper, cultural transmission between Slavs and Scandinavians from ca 900 to 1250 is discussed. Cultural identity and identity negotiation through style are topics often studied in higher social strata of societies. Emblemic style is maintained and displayed in jewellery or other eye-catching parts of the material culture to distinguish oneself in relation to others. However, the constructi
