Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Under året 2001 kom forskare i hela världen överens om att globala klimatförändringar existerar och att människliga aktiviteter har påverkat dem, framförallt genom utsläpp av koldioxid (CO2). Kyoto Protokollet är en global överenskommelse som kräver en minskning av CO2 utsläpp (med 1990 som basår) och fem andra växthusgaser med 5% fram till 2012. Ett sätt som näIn 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change approved human impact (mainly through the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)) on global warming. The Kyoto Protocol is a global contract that proposes the reduction of CO2 and five other greenhouse gases by 2012 to at least 5% below the level of 1990. One reduction strategy included in the Protocol is the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). It su

The legal status of EU human rights norms is not clearly defined. The initial goals of the European Community were primarily of economic nature, and social and political rights were merely welcomed as secondary effects of the single market aim. Human rights concerns were at the end of the Second World War reserved for the Council of Europe and the founding of the European Convention on Human Right

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur försäkringstagaren, vid skada på byggnad, ska ersättas ur företagsförsäkringen respektive konsumentförsäkringen. När skada uppkommer på byggnad tillämpas värderingsreglerna i kapitel 6 i FAL för att bestämma storleken på försäkringsersättningen. Den metod som stadgas i FAL är dagsvärdemetoden. Ersättning enligt dagsvärdet anses motsvara återanskaffningsThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the insured shall be compensated by the insurance companies, in regards to damages to buildings. When a building is damaged the rules of valuation, found in chapter 6 of FAL (the Swedish Insurance Act), will be applied to determine the amount of the reimbursement. The method that is provided in FAL is the current value method. Compensation according t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan introduktionen av transistorn och den integrerade kretsen har teknologin inom halvledarindustrin utvecklats i en mycket hög takt. Genom att bygga allt mindre och snabbare transistorer har en exponentiell förbättring av prestanda bibehållits sedan 1960-talet, ett fenomen känt som Moores Lag. Fram tills nyligen har utvecklingen mot högre prestanda och fler transistoSince the introduction of the transistor and the integrated circuit, the semiconductor industry has developed at a remarkable pace. By continuously fabricating smaller and faster transistors, it has been possible to maintain an exponential increase in performance, a phenomenon famously described by Moore’s Law. Today, billions of transistors are integrated on a single chip and the size of a transi

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between coagulation factor level and bleeding frequency during prophylactic treatment of haemophilia after stratification of the patients according to joint scores. The secondary aim was to obtain a systematic overview of the doses of coagulation factors prescribed for prophylaxis at the Malmo haemophilia treatment centre d

Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes är diabetes som uppkommer eller först upptäcks under en graviditet. Mellan 1-14 % av alla gravida kvinnor runt om i världen drabbas av graviditetsdiabetes och i Sverige är det ungefär 2 %. I Sverige behandlas graviditetsdiabetes med kostråd och om detta inte räcker lägger man till insulinbehandling. Kända riskfaktorer för att utveckla graviditetsdiabGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs as a complication in 2% of all pregnancies in Sweden. Women with GDM have a substantial risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, but the risk of developing type 1 diabetes is also increased. GDM increases the risk for macrosomia and caesarean delivery. However, long term prognosis and eventual future risks for children born to mothers with a prev

Background: Growing worldwide evidence shows that the experience of sexual coercion is fairly prevalent among young people and is associated with risky sexual behavior thereafter. The causal mechanisms behind this are unclear but may be dependent on specific contextual determinants. Little is known about factors that could buffer the negative effects of coercion. The aim of this study was to asses

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is today considered a novel specific vascular inflammatory biomarker. The general aim of this thesis was to study the role and impact of Lp-PLA2 as cardiovascular (CV) risk marker in an epidemiologic perspective. Specific aims were to explore the cross-sectional association of Lp-PLA2 with traditional CV risk factors, to asses the genetic influence

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Man kan fråga sig varför en hel avhandling handlar om något så ovanligt som akut mastoiditit hos barn. Det är den vanligaste komplikationen till öroninflammation men drabbar bara 20-60 barn per år i Sverige. Öroninflammation däremot är en infektion som är så vanlig att nästan alla har haft åtminstone en sådan som barn. I Sverige diagnostiseras upp emot 200 000

Different slope algorithms can result in totally different estimates. In the worst case, this may lead to inappropriate and useless modelling estimates. A frequent lack of awareness when choosing algorithms justifies a thorough comparison of their characteristics, making it possible for researchers to select an algorithm which is optimal for their purpose. In this study, eight frequently used slop

Background: Severe traumatic knee injury, including injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), leads to impaired sensorimotor function. Although improvements are achieved by training, impairment often persists. Because good sensorimotor function is associated with better patient-reported function and a potential lower risk of future joint problems, more effective treatment is warranted. Tempo

Life-history theory concerns the trade-offs that mold the patterns of investment by animals between reproduction, growth, and survival. It is widely recognized that physiology plays a role in the mediation of life-history trade-offs, but the details remain obscure. As life-history theory concerns aspects of investment in the soma that influence survival, understanding the physiological basis of li

The autumn gum moth, Mnesampela privata, utilizes several species of Eucalyptus planted outside regions of endemism within Australia. We investigated whether foliar monoterpene composition influenced oviposition in the field on the natural primary host (E. globulus) and a novel host (E. rubida), both characterized by nonstructural epicuticular waxes. In the laboratory, oviposition preferences of f

Response of passerine birds to an irruption of a pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa population with a shifted phenology The main purpose of the present work was to investigate if the passerine community was able to respond to it localized irruption of a temporally shifted population of the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa, the larval development of which takes place dur

Background: Stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Air pollution has become an acknowledged risk factor for stroke, especially for acute effects. There is less support for effects by chronic exposure due to the methodological challenges inherent in such studies. Such challenges can regard missing individual level data or residual confounding and can partly be overcome

2006 genomfördes en reform av den svenska asylprocessen. Det tidigare systemet hade utsatts för stark kritik, och särskilt överklagandeinstansen, Utlänningsnämnden, hade blivit en symbol för en godtycklig, och samtidigt restriktiv asylpolitik. I och med reformen ersattes Utlänningsnämnden av tre Migrationsdomstolar och en Migrationsöverdomstol. Det uttryckliga målet var att öka öppenheten och rättIn 2006 a reform of the Swedish asylum process took place. The former system had been the object of strong criticism, and especially the appellate body, the Aliens Appeals Board, had become a symbol of an arbitrary, and at the same time restrictive asylum policy. In the reform the Aliens Appeals Board was replaced with three Migration Courts and one Migration Court of Appeal. The outspoken aim was

Den svenska asylprocessen förändrades i grunden när överprövningen förflyttades från en domstolsliknande nämnd (utlänningsnämnden) till en renodlad domstolsprocess (migrationsdomstolen). Ett övergripande syfte för reformen var att stärka rättssäkerheten. I den nya migrationsdomstolen ingår nämndemän i den ordinarie sammansättningen. Nämndemannainstitutet har en lång förankring i svensk rättstraditThe Swedish asylum process changed fundamentally in 2005 when trials were transferred from an administrative process (utlänningsnämnden) to a court process (migrationsdomstolen). The general aim of the reform was to strengthen the rule of law in the asylum process. The new immigration courts are composed of lay judges. Lay judges are rooted in the Swedish tradition but they are common in other cou
