OBJECTIVE: Recordings of blood flow velocity waveform in the ductus venosus (DV) and the umbilical vein (UV) are routinely used in order to predict the fetal condition in high-risk pregnancies. This study investigates the relationship between pathological blood flow in the two vessels and perinatal outcome. METHODS: High-risk pregnancies (n=11865) admitted during 1993-2011 for blood flow examinati

Understanding the land use history has proven crucial for the conservation of biodiversity in the agricultural landscape. In southern Sweden, very small and fragmented areas of the disturbance-dependent habitat xeric sand calcareous grassland support a large number of threatened and rare plants and animals. In order to find out if historical land use could explain variation in present-day habitat

Despite the enormous and ever-increasing amount of photographs, and their importance as historical source material, Sweden has never had any national plan for the preservation of this cultural heritage. And there is not longer any public institution, or institutions, that has a central and advisory role in regards to photography in general. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge

Damping is present in all dynamic systems. In one way or another energy is being dissipated in the system. To capture this aspect of reality in a computational model is a difficult task. A common simplification is to assume that the damping is of a linear viscous nature. This assumption provides an equation of motion (linear dynamics) which is easy to handle mathematically. However, the simplicity of

I följande uppsats kommer jag att undersöka rättsprincipen negotiorum gestio. Principen stadgar rätten till ersättning vid ingripande för annans intresse vid den personens frånvaro. Den hjälpande kallas gestor och den som åtnjuter tjänsten huvudman. Rättsinstitutet har historia tillbaka till det romerska riket och har sedan dess levt kvar rättsbildningen.

The principles emerged in the ancient roman empire due to its massive expansion and is still rec

Varje år köps ca 13,5 kg textil per person i Sverige varav 7,6 kg går till energiåtervinning via restavfallet. Att tillverka textilier kräver mycket resurser och bidrar till stora utsläpp. För att kunna ta tillvara på dessa kasserade textilier krävs insamlingssystem som bibehåller textilens kvalité, så att de kan återanvändas eller återvinnas istället för att förbrännas. Denna studie syftar till aAbout 13.5 kg of textile per person are consumed in Sweden each year, of which 7.6 kg goes to energy recovery through the residual waste. Manufacturing textiles requires a lot of resources and contributes to large emissions. In order to make use of the discarded textiles, collection systems are required that maintain the quality of the textile. This allows them to be reused or recycled instead of

Kandidatarbetets syfte har varit att ta fram ett hjälpmedel för studenter på sedimentologikursen vid Geologiska institutionen på Lunds universitet. Hjälpmedlet är tänkt att kunna användas utan lärares hjälp då ett ökat studentantal och försämrad ekonomi på institutionen begränsar lärarnas möjlighet att kunna ge alla studenter den hjälp de behöver för att nå kursmålen. Enkätundersökningar och kursvThe purpose of this Bachelor thesis has been to create an aid for the students at the Department of Geology at Lund’s University. The resource is supposed to be usable without assistance from a teacher. This since the number of students has increased markedly over the last few years while the economic means of the department have decreased. This has reduced the teachers abilities to give all the s

The third UN Millennium Development Goal promotes “achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women” (UNDP 2013). It reflects the fact that violence against women (VAW) is a problem of global proportions which hinders the achievement of gender equality and at the same time has negative effects on countries’ social and economical well-being. In Peru, numerous efforts by the government, nation

Absenteeism due to sickness has increased during the last few years and has become a serious problem of society in Sweden. Among the sick-listed there is a group that apart from being sick are also unemployed. The aim of this paper was to study if and how the unemployed seek employment when they are sick-listed. Central questions have been if the unemployed seek employment while they are sick-lis

I uppsatsen belyses rättsfrågor gällande skeppsvrak med fokus på övergivna och farliga vrak. Uppsatsen antar ett de lege ferenda perspektiv på lagstiftning angående juridiskt ansvar för vrak, ansvar för bortskaffande av vrak samt förebyggande av marin miljöförstöring. Övergivna vrak kan försvåra navigering och utgöra miljöfara, och övergivna vrak kan utgöra stora problem för en mängd olika aktöreThis thesis discusses legal problems in relation to shipwrecks, with focus on dangerous and abandoned wrecks, and takes a de lege ferenda perspective on regulations regarding wreck liability, responsibility for wreck removal and prevention of pollution on the marine environment. Abandoned wrecks may obstruct navigation and pose hazard to the marine environment. Moreover, wrecks create a wide rang

A reliable electricity sector is imperative for the development and competitiveness of Costa Rica. During the last decade, electricity demand has been growing faster than the expansion of the power network, and the demand side efforts have been almost inexistent. Therefore, since 2007 the electricity sector of Costa Rica is in a vulnerable position. In fact, for 2014 energy shortages have been ant

Abstract The focus of this thesis is to study and model the capacity of the bank to trade on the bonds market under normal and stressed conditions. This capacity is related to the liquidity of bonds market (ie, the ability to trade) and bank’s trading desks capacity to trade. All banks have different models but all are subject to the validation of the bank in a first place and the EU Central Bank

Individuals are exposed to AI on a daily basis. Profiling and automated decision-making consist of techniques, including the use of algorithms in order to extract knowledge from large amounts of data. Profiling is an automated process

In the last years, a lack of trust in multi-lateral agreements has been rising, in part because of the absence of a global legally binding environmental regime, since the end of the Kyoto Protocol. The urban climate governance arena has been emerging as a much more promising scenario for climate action. Municipalities have been setting an ambitious climate agenda, planning for climate mitigation a

Anonyma vittnen har under längre tid figurerat i den juridiska sfären som en åtgärd mot gängkriminalitet och tystnadskulturen som ett framväxande fenomen. Som bakgrund gäller en allmän vittnesplikt i Sverige, vilket innebär att gemene man förväntas ställa upp i vittnesmål som ett led i upprätthållandet av vårt rättssamhälle. Vidare innebär EKMRs artikel 6, rätten till rättvis rättegång en begränsnAnonymous witnesses have more recently been a topic for discussion in the legal sphere in Sweden as a measure against gang crime and an emerging phenomenon known as silence culture, referring to an unwillingness to cooperate with law enforcement based on fear of repercussions. Individuals are, regardless of other circumstances, expected to testify as a part of maintaining an overall sense of justi

To roll its dung-ball along straight paths across the African Savanna, the ball-rolling dung-beetle Kheper lamarcki (Mac Leay, 1821) utilizes a broad repertoire of celestial compass cues. These include the position of the sun and the polarization pattern that forms around it. It is hypothesized that a celestial snapshot of these cues needs to be stored in order to support orientation. However, it

This report aims to present a fire safety evaluation of Ward 043, Children & Youth, at Centralsjukhuset in Kristianstad. Based upon information acquired during a visit to the hospital on February the 8th, 2010, a number of analyses were carried out to assess the current fire safety. Fire- and evacuation simulations, along-side an index-method were the most important tools used in the evaluatio
