Mineral evolution is concerned with the timing of mineral occurrences, such as the earliest reported occurrences in the geologic record. Minerals containing essential Li have not been reported from rocks older than ca. 3000 Ma, thus the lithian tourmaline (fluor-elbaite) and mica (lepidolite) assemblage from a pegmatite near Zishineni associated with the ca. 3000 Ma Sinceni Pluton presents unusual
Background: Several countries have increased patients' abilities to choose their health care providers, frequently under the assumption that patients are themselves the best agents to make such decisions. In parallel, national and regional health authorities have enhanced access to Internet based information sources (IBIS) to assist patients in making an informed choice. Relatively little, however
Background. In the European Study for Pediatric Ph+ ALL (EsPhALL), a total of 128 patients aged 1 to 18 years diagnosed with ALL and evidence of t(9;22)(q34;q11) received post-Induction Imatinib on top of BFM high risk chemotherapy backbone, either in Good Risk (GR) (after randomization, n=58) or in Poor Risk (PR) (n=70), as defined according to early response to the National induction treatment.
The Southern California Borderland is a region that experiences strong natural variations in bottom water oxygen and pH. We use marine sediments from Santa Monica Basin to reconstruct environmental conditions in the basin's bottom water from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to present. We then compare the records to the adjacent Santa Barbara Basin and Santa Lucia Slope. High-resolution records of b
Sediment records recovered from the Baltic Sea during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 347 provide a unique opportunity to study paleoenvironmental and climate change in central and northern Europe. Such studies contribute to a better understanding of how environmental parameters change in continental shelf seas and enclosed basins. Here we present a multi-proxy-based reconstruction of
Abstract in UndeterminedPaper I: Greenhouse gas taxes on animal food products - rationale, tax scheme and climate mitigation effects Agriculture is responsible for 25–30% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but has thus far been largely exempted from climate policies. Because of high monitoring costs and comparatively low technical potential for emission reductions in the agricu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Den kroniska ögonsjukdomen grön starr (glaukom) skadar ögats synnerv och påverkar den perifera synen (synfältet) hos de som drabbas. I västvärlden är grön starr den näst vanligaste orsaken till blindhet enligt Världshälsoorganisationen WHO. I Sverige räknar man med att cirka 70 000 personer över 70 år har grön starr, men att endast hälften av dessa är kända föThis thesis addresses several aspects of glaucoma diagnostics from both a clinical and a screening perspective. New instruments for diagnosing glaucoma have been developed over the past years, but little information is available regarding their performance as screening methods and their usefulness in ordinary clinical practice. Purpose of the research underlying this thesis The objectives of th
A performance-based service life design format based on climatic exposure on one hand and "resistance" of materials against mould growth on the other hand, is presented in this paper. A limit state for onset of mould growth is defined as the occurrence of traces of mould observed by microscopy. A dose-response model is proposed by which onset of mould growth can be predicted for an arbitrary clima
Prostitution as a construction - The social worker in the tension between society and the individual Discussions about prostitution seems to be of large interest for different feminist groups. The main discussions are about whether people sell sex as a result of free will, or if prostitution is a part of patriarchal structures, and that people selling sex, have been forced to do so in one way, or
Strålbehandling kan användas för att behandla olika cancerdiagnoser. Man vill då kunna rikta strålningen mot tumören medan så lite frisk vävnad som möjligt bestrålas. Olika studier visar att för patienter som behandlas med strålbehandling för cancer i vänster bröst är förekomsten av och dödligheten i olika hjärtsjukdomar högre än för de som behandlas med strålbehandling för cancer i höger bröst. DPurpose: To evaluate the benefits of using respiratory gating for left-sided breast cancer in the form of dose-sparing and biological effects to the heart and to investigate the set-up deviations for patients treated with respiratory gating in order to find an optimal correction strategy for this group of patients. Materials and methods: Nineteen patients treated with respiratory gating for left-
This thesis examines the relationship between international law protecting refugees and national legislation in Sweden and in the UK. International protection is afforded by the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. But also general international human rights instruments are relevant. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil
The Swedish Antarctic Research Expedition named “SWEDARP” was performed during October 1988 through April 1989. The aim of our project was to study the radioactivity in air and water from Gothenburg to the Antarctic. Between Gothenburg and the Equator, the average activity concentration of 7Be in air was 4.3 ± 0.7 mBq/m3. The activity concentration of 7Be in the South Atlantic down to Antarctica v
This research investigates the legislative framework surrounding spyware within the European Union (EU), specifically the Netherlands. It looks at ways to improve the legislative framework that oversees online surveillance. The research begins by introducing spyware, using Pegasus as a prime example. Pegasus, a spyware developed by the Israeli company NSO Group, has been at the centre of numerous
Abstract Background Axis Communications is a Lund based company which specializes in network cameras. In addition to the cameras, the company has a wide range of accessories that ensure their customers receive complete solutions. While the company has had significant successes by investing heavily in R&D, increased competition from low-cost competitors is now placing higher demands on cost-eff
The increasing urbanization trends in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the proliferation of urban poverty together with the explosion of informal urban settlements have lead to a shift in the international poverty alleviation agenda from the focus on rural poverty to an increased emphasis put on the particularities of urban poverty. Kenya is one of the fastest urbanizing countries in SSA and the major
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn är en av de sektorer som släpper ut mest växthusgaser. Under ett enskilt år så svarar byggbranschen för utsläpp av växthusgaser på 21 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter, vilket motsvarar 21 procent av Sveriges totala utsläpp. Av det totala utsläppet på 21 miljoner koldioxidekvivalenter så kommer 12,8 miljoner ton från inhemska utsläpp av växthusgaser och 8,2 miljoner toThe building and real estate sector is one of the sectors that emits the most greenhouse gases. For a single year, the construction industry is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions of 21 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which corresponds to 21 per cent of Sweden's total emissions. Of the total emissions of 21 million carbon dioxide equivalents, 12.8 million tons come from domesti
The number of supply chain disruptions has increased over the last couple of years. The Covid-19 Pandemic, blockage of the Suez Canal and Russian invasion of Ukraine are some well-known examples of disruptions. Academia seems to have noticed the increasing disruptions and has explored proactive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) as an approach to address this. Consulting firms also suggest compan
As the interest in greenwashing as a strategy for marketing increases, monitoring institutions in Sweden have not failed to acknowledge the tendency of unwarranted and exaggerated statements that has left the impression of products or services without any legitimate support. Even as institutions have voiced their active engagement in tackling this problem, critique has been raised arguing that gre
BackgroundLow- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Bangladesh, are experiencing a nutritional transition characterized by rising unhealthy food consumption (UFC), which increases the risk of nutrient deficiencies and chronic diseases in children. Despite this concern, research on UFC among Bangladeshi children aged 6–23 months is limited. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the preva
