Due to the increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, there is a need for adaptations and mitigations to climate change. Not only is a drastic reduction of emissions necessary, but the uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere needs to be increased and stored long-term. One of the more efficient mitigation strategies to reduce CO2 concentrations in th

Background: Rheumatic diseases commonly affect joints and other structures in the hand. Surgery is a traditional way to treat hand problems in inflammatory rheumatic diseases with the purposes of pain relief, restore function and prevent progression. There are numerous measures to choose from, and a combination of outcome measures is recommended. This study evaluated if instruments commonly used i
Background: Integument-related toxicities are common during epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy. Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the EGFR that significantly improves progression-free survival when added to chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have wild-type (WT) KRAS tumours. Primary efficacy and tolerability results from a
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersöker vi vilka anpassningar som behöver göras i designen av matematikkurser när de överförs från en kulturell miljö till en annan. Vi fokuserar på en kurs i beräkningsmatematik som undervisas på Lunds Universitet i Sverige och som vi under studien överförde till Sorans Universitet i Kurdistan/Irak. Projektet har två delar. Den första diskuterar hThis thesis aims to investigate necessary adaptations in the design of a mathematics course when it is transferred from one cultural environment to another. We focus on an elementary course in computational mathematics with Python taught at Lund University, Sweden, and at Soran University, Kurdistan/Iraq. This project holds two main parts. The first part elucidates how the necessary changes in tea
Background: In this prospective study, mentally disordered perpetrators of severe violent and/or sexual crimes were followed through official registers for 59 (range 8 to 73) months. The relapse rate in criminality was assessed, compared between offenders sentenced to prison versus forensic psychiatric care, and the predictive ability of various risk factors (criminological, clinical, and of struc
NILE ("New Improvements for Lignocellulosic Ethanol") was an integrated European project (2005-2010) devoted to the conversion of lignocellulosic raw materials to ethanol. The main objectives were to design novel enzymes suitable for the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose and new yeast strains able to efficiently converting all the sugars present in lignocellulose into ethanol. The project also in
Hur många gånger har du tagit på dig en svart tröja och sedan upptäckt hur varmt det blir när solen tittar fram? Med hjälp av den erfarenheten är det säkert tydligt att mörka material värms upp mer av solens strålar än ljusa material. Man säger att mörka material ”tar till sig”, eller absorberar, en större andel av den strålning som solen sänder ut i form av ljus. Det som inte absorberas kan istälHuman population on Earth is increasing and is projected to continue increasing for many years to come. Most of the increase will probably occur in cities and the extent of urban areas will increase with it. As cities grow larger and new cities are built, the many and diverse climatic effects of urbanization will become more evident. A specific climatic effect of urbanization which has not receive
Winter transportation is equally important as the summer transportation, or even more meaningful for countries, which are affected by the winter conditions. In this perspective, the focus of this paper is in the Baltic Sea, which is a sea, where some of its areas are frozen every year. During winter times, vessels may face heavy ice conditions and extreme weathers when navigating through ice fiel
This thesis provides a study of the coastal state jurisdiction over the continental shelf. The study is limited to exploration and exploitation of subsoil petroleum deposits as well as the activities affiliated with this. There is a problem of overlapping, or conflicting jurisdictional competence, in situations where the law of the flag state applies in regard to the vessels involved in the petrol
Executive Summary This thesis report presents a framework to be used for evaluating IT tools to support transport and logistic be split into three steps show applied on ABB to provide a decision basis and rationale to invest in a logistics IT tool. • The pre-study aims is set up, to ide improve the performance of criteria on which the IT tools should be evaluated investment as well as benefit calc
Vid strålbehandling används olika typer av strålning beroende på vad man ska behandla. Mätningarna i min undersökning gjordes på joniserande strålning med låg energi jämfört med den typ man vanligtvis förknippar med strålbehandling. Den sortens strålning som jag mätte på används främst vid behandling av åkommor som är relativt ytliga, till exempel hudcancer eller psoriasis. Läkarna ordinerar hur sAbsorbed dose was determined under reference conditions at four x-ray qualities; 30, 80, 120 and 200 kV using five different dosimetry protocols and codes of practice; IAEA TRS-398, AAPM, IPEMB, NCS and DIN. The dose determined by the IAEA protocol was chosen as reference. The dosimetry protocols use different formalisms for determining the absolute dose in a reference point. The IAEA and DIN prot
Many sexual crime matters are in a difficult position when it comes to proof, where it's word against word between the parties. However, the legislation states that it's the offender's actions that are to be in focus for the judicial judgement, but often the focus is on the woman, whether she said no and how she acted in that particular situation (Sutorius & Kaldal, 2003). The pur
Within the ongoing development of Alstom's latest heavy-duty gas turbine, the motivation for this thesis is the need for a fuel gas pressure prediction software. The key challenge in the development of such a software is finding the model that predicts the pressure drop over the burner hardware. This model has to predict fuel pressure for over critical and under-critical flow over the entire l
After much work and a long time after its instigation, a legislation regulating insolvency law in the European Union finally saw the light of day in 2002. Its 47 articles and 33 recitals establish jurisdiction, choice of law as well as recognition, in cross-border insolvencies within the EU and with this new legislation came a new expression to the legal area, namely 'centre of main interests&
This study attempts to assess and correct the performance of Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM-IMERG) final run daily precipitation product across Sweden. The performance of GPM-IMERG version 6 final run was evaluated against 677 rain gauges in a period from 12 March 2014 to 31 May 2019. Continuous and categorical performance measures were used to char
Research suggests that polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, that are found in considerable amounts in many types of berries, contributes with a positive effect on human cognition. However, clinical trials are warranted to support these findings. Preparation for such a trial includes developing a berry-rich study product and a corresponding reference beverage. Phenolic compounds are highly unstable a
The intake of anthocyanin rich-foods, such as bilberries has been associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular-related diseases. Similarly, the cardiovascular benefits of oat consumption are well known and are mainly due to its cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects. A randomized double-blinding clinical trial has been designed to investigate the cardiovascular beneficial eff
In this essay I discuss contract formation and contract interpretation with regards to smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer programs inserted on a blockchain, with the purpose of facilitating an exchange of digital goods between the parties. Blockchain technology is used to store smart contracts in order to imbue the smart contract with several useful qualities for contracting in a trustl
