District heating and cooling systems offer a cost-effective and secure supply of heating and cooling to connected buildings. They are widely recognised as a key solution to decarbonise the building sector due to their high potential of integrating renewable energy sources. The systems traditionally involved generating heating and cooling centrally with distribution through separate pipes before de
Recent studies on Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggest that tau proteins spread through the brain following neuronal connections. Several mechanisms could be involved in this process: spreading between brain regions that interact strongly (functional connectivity); through the pattern of anatomical connections (structural connectivity); or simple diffusion. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we inves
The conflict between seal conservation and fisheries in the Baltic Sea has becomeremarkably serious and threatens the existence of coastal fishing activities in theBaltic Sea. Seals cause significant catch losses, gear damage and various types ofhidden damages and losses. In particular, reports of damage caused by the grey seal,the largest and most common seal species in the Baltic Sea, have incre
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
Popular Abstract in Swedish Båtbenet är ett lite ben i handloven som är väsentlig för handledens funktion. Båtbenet kan skadas om man ramlar och tar emot med handen, och den skadade är ofta en ung man, som inte sällan håller på med sport. Man ser ingen felställning på handledens utsida, men patienten upplever ofta smärta på handledens tummsida. Röntgen har svårt att påvisa ett brott, eftersom båtbAbstract The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. The diagnosis is difficult and untreated the long-term results are poor. Approximately 10% do not unite even if they are treated properly. The aim of this thesis was to study scaphoid fracture epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. During a four-year period (2004-03-01 to 2008-02-28) all patients attending the Emergency Department a
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
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränning är den viktigaste energikällan på jorden och en ökad förståelse av förbränningsprocesser är väsentlig för att minska miljöfarliga utsläpp och för att öka effektiviteten av förbränningsanläggningar och motorer. För detta ändamål är det viktigt att bestämma bl. a. koncentrationer av ämnen som bildas under förbränningen. Laserbaserade mätmetoder möjliggör berörCombustion is the most important source of energy worldwide. A better understanding of it is essential if pollutant emissions are to be reduced and combustion devices be made more efficient. This requires measurement of physical and chemical combustion parameters. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is widely employed as a laser-diagnostic technique for the detection of combustion species but it suff
In contrast to the upfront setting in which the role of high-dose therapy with autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as consolidation of a first remission in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is well established, the role of high-dose therapy with autologous or allogeneic HCT has not been extensively studied in MM patients relapsing after primary therapy. The International Myeloma
With the attempts to achieve higher thermal efficiency, turbine blades are exposed to very high temperature gases and may undergo severe thermal stress and fatigue. Thus, in order to develop optimal cooling strategies and reduce the heat transfer it is important to obtain a good understanding of both the complex flow field and the heat transfer characteristics in turbine rotor/stator hot-gas passa

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
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
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
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 general rule in EC law is that a holder of an intellectual property right is not obliged to license the use of that right to others. However, situations exist where intellectual property rights suffer some limitations because of the prevalence of other conflicting interests. A dominant firm can, as the holder of an intellectual property right, be forced to grant a license to one or more undert
