Methods: A systematic literature search was undertaken using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, Science Citation Index and the Cochrane Library. The quality of studies was assessed. Effect sizes (ESs) an
BACKGROUND: In September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis of 33 health-related SDG indicators based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015).METHODS: We applied statistical methods to systematic
The day Faraday moved a magnet in and out of a wire loop and detected the time-varying magnetic field, the first wireless transmitter / receiver system was created and the world was changed forever. However, it took almost fifty years for Heinrich Hertz to use Maxwell's equations and Faraday's insights in his professorship at Karlsruhe to create the first electromagnetic wireless communication sys
At present China suffers from severe desertification or land degradation. About 27% of the total territory was exposed in 2004, mainly the northern provinces. Consequences of desertification, such as floods or sandstorms, require huge effort and financial assets. Soil moisture understanding plays a key role in combating desertification and is necessary in order to implement a sustainable water man
Möjligheten att använda tidiga förhör som bevismaterial trädde i kraft år 2022 och innebär att förhörsutsagor givna under en förundersökning som spelats in med ljud och bild inför en brottsutredande myndighet får i vissa fall användas som bevismaterial under huvudförhandlingen. Förhörsutsagor är ett viktigt bevismaterial och det är således av stor vikt att deras innehåll är fullständigt och korrekThe ability to use preliminary investigation interviews as evidence was implemented in 2022, allowing statements given during a preliminary investigation, recorded with audio and video, to be used as evidence in the main trial under certain circumstances. Oral statements are an important piece of evidence, and it is therefore of vital importance that they are complete and accurate to ensure their
Förtätning och byggande i urbana miljöer innebär stora utmaningar för alla inblandade parter, stadens invånare, verksamheter och besökare. Låg effektivitet- och produktivitetsutveckling i byggbranschen, tillsammans med ökade miljökrav är ett par av de främsta utmaningarna. Krav på effektiv ytanvändning förutsätter en välfungerande, effektiv logistik och materialhantering, med minimal påverkan på dDensification of cities and construction in urban environments poses major challenges for all parties involved, the city's residents, businesses and visitors. Low efficiency and productivity development in the construction industry, together with increased environmental requirements are a few of the main challenges. Requirements for efficient use of surface demands efficient logistics and mate
Uppsatsen har granskat svenska myndigheters möjligheter att omedelbart tvångsomhänderta barn med hjälp av LVU. Detta har undersökts i relation till barn som har och inte har sin hemvist i Sverige samt i relation till barn vars hemvist inte kan fastställas. Både Bryssel II-förordningen och LVU har an-vänts för att redovisa gällande regler kring fastställande av barnets hemvist samt förutsättningar The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Swedish regulations regarding immediate care taking of children, especially regarding children whose place of residence is in another EU-country. The Brussels II regulation ap- plies to decisions to take into care and place a child. Article 8 Brussels II regulation states that the courts of a Member State are to have jurisdiction in matters of parental
Sweden is heading towards an energy system with less nuclear power and more intermittent energy sources. Together with the coming electrification of the transport and industry sector, this challenges the future stability of the Swedish power system. However, a part of the solution could be that consumption of electricity temporarily is adjusted to facilitate the operation of the power system, reco
AB 04 is based on an allocation of responsibilities and risks between the employer and the contractor in a financially optimized manner. An important aspect of this regulation is time. The starting point is that the contractor must plan and perform the works in such a way that the agreed upon contract period is met. If completion is delayed, the employer may therefore be entitled to liquidated dam
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Dementia cases are expected to triple during the next 30 years, highlighting the importance of finding modifiable risk factors for dementia. The aim of this study is to investigate whether adherence to conventional dietary recommendations or to a modified Mediterranean diet are associated with subsequent lower risk of developing all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (A
In this study, we investigated the regional contributions of carbon dioxide (CO2) at the location of the high Alpine observatory Jungfraujoch (JFJ, Switzerland, 3580ĝ€¯mĝ€¯a.s.l.). To this purpose, we combined receptor-oriented atmospheric transport simulations for CO2 concentration in the period 2009-2017 with stable carbon isotope (δ13C-CO2) information. We applied two Lagrangian particle disper
Context. Phosphorus (P) is considered to be one of the key elements for life, making it an important element to look for in the abundance analysis of spectra of stellar systems. Yet, only a select number of spectroscopic studies exist to estimate the phosphorus abundances and investigate its trend across a range of metallicities. This is due to the lack of good phosphorus lines in the optical wave
En central del i de flesta psykoterapeutiska inriktningar utgörs av hur man ser på emotioner samt vilka konsekvenser olika sätt att förhålla sig till eller reglera emotionerna får: Ur ett psykoanalytiskt perspektiv ses primitiva och rigida försvarsmekanismer riktade mot omedvetna affekter, drifter och impulser, som en viktig bidragande faktor till utvecklandet av psykiska besvär (Weiner & BornThe general aim of the present thesis was to further our understanding of cognitive restructuring and acceptance, both as concepts and as psychological processes related to emotion regulation. In doing this, concepts and processes related to cognitive restructuring and acceptance were examined in four different studies using different designs and methodologies. The main purpose of Study I was to
Title: Virtual Reality as presentation tool for architects Authors: Adrian Norlund och Lisa Rask Supervisor: Fredrik Wikberg, Department of Building Construction, Faculty of Engineering (LTH) Question formulation: - Will the audience get a better idea of an object in VR compared to current presentation techniques? - What is most useful for architects, Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard or VR room (CAVE
Två horisontella våtmarksfilter (rotzonsanläggningar) i Anderslöv och Häglinge undersöktes med avseende på deras förmåga att rena BOD7, tot-N och tot-P från avloppsvatten från två enskilda avlopp. Båda rotzonsanläggningarna föregicks av andra avloppsreningskonstruktioner i avloppsanläggningarna, i Anderslöv av en trekammarbrunn och markbädd och i Häglinge av en Aquatron® med urinseparering, AquatrTwo sub-surface horizontal flow wetlands (SSHFW) located in Anderslöv and Häglinge, Sweden were examined considering their ability to treat domestic wastewater from BOD7, total nitrogen and total phosphorous. The wastewater was first treated by a sludge well and a sub-surface vertical flow wetland in Anderslöv and an Aquatron® with urine separation, Aquatron® phosphorous trap and a sludge well in
Unga lagöverträdare som har uppnått straffmyndighetsåldern kan ställas ansvariga för brott. Är den begångna brottsligheten av allvarligt slag och de lagstadgade förutsättningarna uppfyllda, kan påföljden bestämmas till fängelse eller sluten ungdomsvård. Allvarlig brottslighet som leder till frihetsberövande påföljd föregås ofta av ett annat frihetsberövande, vilket för minderåriga kan innebära häkYoung offenders of the age of 15 and above are criminally responsible, and can therefore be prosecuted for committing a crime. The convicted offender can, if the committed crime is serious and other legal requirements are met, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment or to institutional care of young persons. In these situations, it is fairly usual that the offender has been deprived of his or her l
The design of efficient data structures is of primary importance in creation of theoretical algorithms as well their more tangible descendants, computer programs. In this dissertation we study computational aspects of data structures and their respective algorithms from a theoretical viewpoint, which are however of direct importance in the implementation of solutions for real-world problems. We pr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner, eller äggviteämnen som de också kallas, har viktiga funktioner i kroppen. Proteiner är uppbyggda som långa, ofta sammanveckade kedjor. Byggstenarna i dessa kedjor kallas aminosyror. Ett givet protein kännetecknas av sin unika aminosyrekombination och ofta ingår flera av de 20, i människan förekommande, aminosyrorna i ett protein. I kroppen finns också kortareThe aim of this thesis work is to understand and be able to control polypeptide conformation and interactions at interfaces and in solution by changing the solution conditions. For this purpose simple model polypeptides, so-called polyamino acids, have been investigated at the air-liquid interface, as well as in aqueous solutions. The influence of subphase characteristics, spreading solvent and po
The book contains the first part of an investigation aimed at finding out why it is morally wrong (at least prima facie) to cause species to go extinct. That it is morally wrong seems to be a very basic and widely held intuition. It seems reasonable that a moral theory worth taking seriously ought to be able to account for that intuition. The most common attempt to answer our question is to refer
