Today every ministry has got some sort of EU office. Swedish politicians are functioning on two arenas, domestic and European. At the same time Swedish membership has gone from being highly discussed to being a state of normali

Reservoirs are precious assets in semi arid and arid regions of the world. The Upper East Region of Ghana by virtue of its climatic condition is classified as a semi arid region. It has a total of 160 small reservoirs located on streams and rivers which are in the upstream of the Ghana portion of the Volta Basin. There have been significant reductions in the flow of water from all the three ma

Common reed is found in near-shore areas of many European lakes, where it forms dense stands. As waves are influenced by obstacles along the wave path, water and sediment motions caused by waves are affected by these stands. This study aims to evaluate the effect of common reed stands on waves, evaluate the effect of common reed stands on wave induced sediment resuspension, test a model for wave a

Neoconservatism developed in the context of liberal anti-communism from the 1940s. The key intellectuals of this early period of neoconservatism, centred around Irving Kristol, occupied themselves with issues such as the threat of communism, anti-Americanism at home, adversary culture and the problems of social engineering. However, by the mid 1990s as the end of the Cold War removed their main fo

This thesis is set in the context of project financing for renewable energy technologies (RETs). The research looks closely at the environmental review procedures of financial institutions, focusing on the practice of environmental due diligence. This practice originally emerged as an approach used by lenders or investors to manage environmental risks and liabilities stemming from an investment de

The use of a label for locally produced products is seen as a good way of promoting these products in Söderslätt and, thereby, promoting regional development. The only common meaning of the concept ?local? is the reference to a geographical area, even though the size of the area differs. Local products are associated with characteristics such as environment, ethics, health, quality and support of

Nickel phosphide is a valuable material in high-temperature brazing and joining applications, offering excellent thermal stability for temperatures up to 400°C. Nickel phosphide is used as powder form for joining applications and therefore it is imperative to study the formation as well as interaction of Ni2P particles with Brazing with nickel-chromium-based fillers is widely used to join stainles

Familial clustering of lung cancer (LC) is related to shared smoking habits but the contribution of other potential factors such as sex or histology is not well known, and these are the subjects of the present study in Sweden. Family relationships (from Multigeneration register) and diagnosed cancers (from Cancer registry) were obtained from the national registers from 1961 to 2021. The overall fa

In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) the pathogenetic process is characterized by dysbiosis, increased permeability, translocation, and immune activation. The aim of the present study was to assess the presence of viable bacteria in the blood of patients with IBD and to correlate the findings with clinical characteristics. The study included 28 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) (median age 38 year

Aim: The primary aim was to investigate the incidence, birth characteristics, and timing of diagnosis of cephalhaematoma (CH). The secondary aim was to explore associations between CH and complications during the neonatal period and infancy. Methods: This is a nationwide population-based register study of infants (< 12 months) born in Sweden from 1997 to 2018. Information was retrieved from health

Purpose: Ovarian cancer ranks as a gynecological malignancy with poor prognosis, specifically if detected late. Primary treatment includes cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy with curative intent. Local anesthetics (LA) administered in the perioperative period may potentially impact patient outcome by several mechanisms. The beneficial impact of LA has been attributed, among other fact

To evaluate the behaviour of a single timber-concrete composite (TCC) T-beam, a simplified 2D finite element (FE) model in Abaqus is developed and validated using experimental tests and the Gamma method given in Annex B of EN 1995–1-1. The shear connection used in the beam consist of perfobond connectors, which are adhesively bonded to the timber beam. In the developed model, beam and shell finite

This meta-review evaluated the possibility of more specified recommendations in antibiotic treatment through a narrowed focus on facial trauma. The aim was to analyze the effect of different regimens of antibiotic in treatment of skeletal trauma to the face. The knowledge mapping was based on existing systematic reviews (SRs) on trials specified in a PICO: Participants (P): Adults and children, di
