Despite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally. Increasing our understanding of how to mitigate the consequences of such natural hazards through better detection, planning and preparedness, has constituted the overarching objective of this thesis. The thesis is based on three papers: PapDespite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally.

Cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) is commonly observed upon neuroimaging examination in individuals exposed to repetitive head impacts (RHI) and post-mortem in cases with chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Consequently, CSP has been proposed as a potential biomarker for RHI-related neurodegeneration, yet prevalence estimates of CSP across other neurodegenerative diseases and its clinical implications a

Aim: Allometric relationships, which describe plant growth patterns shaped by environmental conditions, reflect functional trade-offs and represent key functional traits that optimise adaptation, resource acquisition, stress tolerance and competition. Here, we assess how these allometric relationships and associated functional trade-offs drive ecosystem structure, functioning and competitive inter

Nepal ligger i ett av världens mest jordbävningsutsatta områden, och jordbävningen i Gorkha 2015 visade tydligt hur sårbara murverksbyggnader utan ingenjörsmässig dimensionering kan vara. I återuppbyggnadsarbetet har interlocking Compressed Sta- bilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) lyfts fram som ett möjligt alternativ till traditionellt murverk av bränt lertegel. Detta eftersom systemet både kan vara mer Nepal is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and the 2015 Gorkha earthquake clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of non-engineered masonry buildings. In the reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, interlocking Com- pressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) have been highlighted as a potentially more seismically robust and at the same time more sustainable al

Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskor arbetar i en högteknologisk miljö med mycket engångsmaterial av plast. Anestesislangar som används är av plast och ofta avsedda för engångsbruk. Enligt ICN:s etiska kod ska alla sjuksköterskor arbeta för FN:s globala mål för hållbar utveckling, att minska plastanvändningen är en central fråga. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka anestesisjuksköterskans uppfat

Teaching the topic of structural dynamics in any engineering field is a true challenge due to the wide span of the underlying subjects like mathematics, mechanics (both rigid body and continuum mechanics), numerical analysis, random data analysis and physical understanding.With the increased availability of computers many engineering problems in practice are evaluated by means of numerical methods

One-way endobronchial valves (EBVs) have been shown to relieve symptoms of emphysema, particularly in patients without collateral ventilation (CV) between the target and adjacent lobes. In this study, we investigated the ability of the bronchoscopic Chartis (TM) Pulmonary Assessment System to predict treatment response by determining the presence of CV. 80 EBV patients underwent a pre-treatment Ch

The Starlings Sturnus vulgaris breeding in sixteen nest-box groups, three in northern and thirteen in southern Sweden, were monitored in 1988-2003. Date of the first egg was found to correlate with both latitude and elevation when all sites were included (13 degrees of latitude; 5-430 m elevation). Restricting the analysis to only the south Swedish sites (4 degrees of latitude; 5-230 m elevation),

Background Trials of imatinib have provided evidence of activity in adults with Philadelphia-chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), but the drug's role when given with multidrug chemotherapy to children is unknown. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of oral imatinib in association with a Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster intensive chemotherapy regimen and allo geneic stem-cell tr

Abstract in UndeterminedThe capacity of shrub canopy water storage is a key factor in controlling the rainfall interception. Thus, it affects a variety of hydrological processes in water-limited arid desert ecosystems. Vast areas of revegetated desert ecosystems in Northwestern China are occupied by shrub and dwarf shrub communities. Yet, data are still scarce regarding their rainwater storage cap

I denna studie undersöks legitimering av våld i amerikansk kontext. Syftet är att förstå och göra anspråk på att förklara legitimering av våld. Frågeställningen lyder; Hur legitimerar USA våld genom National security strategy från 2015 och i Barack Obamas state of union – tal från 2016? Vilka likheter eller skillnader finns i National security strategy från 2015 och Barack Obamas state of union –This paper examines the legitimation of violence in an American context. The purpose is understanding and claim to explain the legitimation of violence. The research questions are; How does the USA legitimize violence through the National Security Strategy from 2015 and through Barack Obamas State of the Union address from 2016? What similarities or differences contains within the documents? The

Destructive leadership is a phenomenon widely known in organizations and may have severe consequences in high-risk environments such as the construction industry. The present study investigated the measurement of and relationship between safety climate, destructive leadership, and risk behavior on 2 construction sites in Sweden. It was assumed that the Destrudo-L exhibits at least an acceptable le

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan bra taluppfattning och frekvensoberoende (rak dämpning) i hörselskydd. Ett annat syfte var att undersöka om det fanns någon skillnad på taluppfattningen mellan normalhörande och hörselskadade vid objektiva och subjektiva taluppfattningstester med simulerade hörselskydd, där talet var blandat med talvägt brus. I undersökninge

The importance of entrepreneurship in our society is the way it stimulate the markets through alertness to opportunities, and being creational of new opportunity-ideas. However, entrepreneurship is usually constrained by normative, regulative and cognitive mechanisms that enforces and forms the basis on which the entrepreneur operates. This leads us to the primary question of this thesis: to ident

The fast development of computational power of the mobile phone makes it a suitable platform for running map applications. Both public and field working professionals can benefit from easy access to a mobile map client application with features such as route planning, location based services and simple GIS operations. This master's thesis describes the mobile operating system (OS) Android from
