Knowledge of how biodiversity sustains ecosystem function comes predominantly from studies focused on small spatial scales. Thus, we know relatively little about the role of biodiversity at larger scales of space and time where habitats become increasingly heterogeneous. Efforts to upscale the relationship between biodiversity and function have yielded inconclusive results. Given that increasing h

OBJECTIVE: Although injury burden prompts elite athletics (track and field) athletes to engage in injury management, little is known about their health literacy. We investigated musculoskeletal (MS) health literacy in world-leading athletics athletes and associations with prechampionship injury acknowledgement by reduction of training load in different socioeconomic environments.METHODS: Adult and

Objectives: In Sweden, pneumococcal serotype distribution in adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and potential coverage of currently licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) is unknown. Methods: During 2016–2018, patients aged ≥18 years hospitalized with radiologically confirmed (RAD+) CAP were enrolled at Skåne University Hospital in a study on the etiology of CAP in Sweden (ECA

Aim: The use of direct-to-consumer (DTC) telemedicine consultations in primary healthcare has increased rapidly, in Sweden and internationally. Such consultations may be a low-cost alternative to face-to-face visits, but there is limited evidence on their effects on overall healthcare consumption. The aim of this study was to assess the short- and intermediate-term impact of DTC telemedicine consu

Objectives To assess whether recommendations of individually oriented lifestyle interventions (IOLIs) in guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) were underpinned by evidence of benefit, and whether harms and opportunity costs were considered.Design Cross sectional survey.Setting UK.Data sources NICE guidelines and supporting evidence.Eligibility criteria All NI

Context. Lithium (Li) is a fragile element that is produced in a variety of sites but can also be very easily depleted in stellar photospheres. Radial migration has been reported to explain the decrease in the upper envelope of Li measurements observed for relatively old metal-rich dwarf stars in some surveys. Aims. We test a scenario in which radial migration could affect the Li abundance pattern

By developing one overall case for a course or several courses in an academic program, different learning challenges from multiple disciplines can be addressed in order to enhance the total learning goal, To achieve a learning goal, a generic case must be designed to bridge together the different disciplines in a systematic way, The important challenge is to design the case which in its content as

Magnetkameran används vanligen för att generera anatomiska bilder som används vid diagnostik av olika sjukdomstillstånd. Normala anatomiska bilder avspeglar magnetresonanssignalens (MR-signalens) magnitud, vilket är signalvektorns längd. Denna är proportionell mot bl.a. antalet vätekärnor i varje volymselement. Ett annat sätt att använda MR-signalen är att skapa en bild av signalvektorns fasvinkelIntroduction: The main purpose of this study was to extract global values of oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in healthy volunteers, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phase maps. The repeatability of the method was evaluated, and the age dependences of OEF and CMRO2 were analyzed. Material and methods: Phase data were acquired using a 3T MRI scann

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om hur USA:s konstitution ska tolkas. Frågan har inget givet svar, tvärtom, det råder väldigt delade uppfattningar om det. Skillnaderna grundar sig inte enbart i frågan om vilket tillvägagångssätt som är bäst för att tolka konstitutionen. I grund och botten handlar frågan om vilket sorts dokument konstitutionen är. Den stora skiljelinjen går mellan de som anser att den hThis essay deals with the question of how the United States Constitution should be interpreted. That is not a question that has a clear answer. On the contrary, the question in fact has no answer, at least not one that people agree about. As we will see, the differences in opinions runs far deeper than merely being about what kind of methodology should be used to construe the various statutes with

Kombinerad bioetanol- och biogas-produktion från vetehalm. Genom ökad torrhalt vid fermentering, samt biogasproduktion från restprodukter, kan lönsamheten för biobränslen att öka. Ökande miljöproblem gällande växthusgaser är ständigt i fokus. År 2007 gav det europeiska parlamentet nya direktiv gällande energipolitiken, där målen var att växthusgaserna i Europa ska reduceras med 20% och att minst 1Currently the production cost of lignocellulosic ethanol is considered to be relatively high. Large fractions of the production cost come from the raw material and the energy consumed in the distillation. Therefore it is desirable to have a process that yields high concentration of ethanol and maximizes the utilization of the biomass. Wheat straw is a promising raw material for lignocellulosic eth

Reglerna om beskattning av fåmansföretag introducerades i samband med skattereformen 1990/91. Sverige fick då en dual skattemodell, och för att inte ägarna till aktiebolag skulle få orimliga skatteförmåner bestämdes att dessa skulle omfattas av vissa särskilda bestämmelser. Uppsatsen syftar till att redogöra för neutralitetsprincipens inverkan på dessa regler om fåmansföretag, dels ur ett historisThe special regulation on close companies was introduced in connection with the tax reform of 1990/91. Sweden received a dual model for taxation, and in order to not give the owners of close companies unreasonably beneficial tax privileges, there had to be certain rules considering these companies. This paper aims to portray the principle of neutrality’s effect on said rules, not only on today’s r

This master's thesis presents a qualitative analysis of nine interviews with public library users who identify as dyke, lesbian, or queer. The study focuses on the participants' lived experiences of public libraries and aim to investigate the library's role in the exploration and practice of a queer or lesbian sexual identity. In what ways does the library contribute to and/or obstruct

From trash to treasure – detta är återbruk Vi lever idag i ett samhälle där ”slit och släng” är vanligt för bland annat kläder, möbler och leksaker. När något går sönder eller en nyare modell finns ute på marknaden slängs många föremål som hade kunnat användas (återbrukas). Att slänga föremål som fungerar eller hade kunnat lagas, skadar miljön. Det finns en tro om att återbruk av föremål inte är fToday we wear and tear objects and materials, in line with the linear economy. By instead reusing, the need for new production decreases, and so the extraction of raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions and generation of waste. By increasing the reuse rate, we can strive towards a circular economy and climb EUs waste hierarchy. The aim of this master’s dissertation was to study different business

Även om en av de tre pelarna i hållbarhetstriaden bredvid den ekonomiska och miljömässiga är social hållbarhet (SS) den minst studerade och undersökta. Eftersom dess definition, mätning och drift är föremål för olika tolkningar, tenderar social hållbarhet att undervisa och ibland förbises. Denna förklarande fallstudie undersöker de sociala hållbarhetsaspekterna i det lilla samhället i Greenhouse pAlthough one of the three pillars of the sustainability triad beside the economic and environmental, Social Sustainability (SS) is the least studied and researched. Since its definition, measurement and operation are subject to different interpretations, SS tends to be undertheorized and sometimes overlooked. This explorative case study investigates the SS aspects of the small community of the Gre

A good task management is also an important part of a company’s structure to not create unnecessarily work. With this master thesis we have found a solution where a Workflow-software is implemented to

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur barns rättigheter tillvaratas då en förälder häktas. Vem beaktar egentligen barns behov då en förälder rycks bort? Frågan är på intet sätt ny men likväl höljd i dunkel. Enligt gällande rätt har alla barn rätt till sina föräldrar. De har en rätt att upprätthålla en nära och god kontakt såvida det inte strider mot barnets bästa. Barn som har föräldrar The purpose of this essay is to analyse how society pays attention to children’s rights and needs whose parents are imprisoned. Who takes into account children’s needs when a parent is taken away? The topic is by no means a new phenomenon but it is slightly raised in obscurity. According to existing law, a child has the right to both parents. Children has the right to maintain a close and health

A growing environmental issue today is the amount plastic pollution in the ocean. To investigate how it might affect marine life, an important aspect is to study how plastics are transported by ocean currents and where it ends up. This can be done by use of Lagrangian simulation of plastic particles in computer ocean models. To improve the quality of the output from such simulations the number of

The long process of syncretization between Shinto and Buddhism has defined much of Japan's philosophical and theological history. This process was only interrupted with the Meiji Restoration, following which the Meiji government enforced an ideology of the two religions being completely separate as part of its State Shinto system. Countless temples and Buddhist treasures were lost in the proce
