We hypothesized that habitats differing in water flow regime would differ in bacterial function either because of differences in the local environment, in bacterial community composition (BCC), or in the mechanism shaping BCC (community assembly). In 20 lakes and 17 inlet streams BCC was analyzed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism of the gene coding for 16S ribosomal RNA, and bac

Inom ramen för det svenska forskningsprojektet Taktik och metodik vid brand i undermarksanläggningar har ett enkelt planeringsverktyg utvecklats som bl a erbjuder stöd till beslutsfattare involverade i planeringen av räddningsinsatser i väg- och järnvägstunnlar. Verktyget, som har utvecklats vid Lunds universitet, heter TuFT och är en förkortning av Tunnel Fire Tools. TuFT kan beskrivas som ett myWithin the Swedish research project Rescue tactics and methodology during fires in underground facilities, a simple decision support tool has been developed. The tool can, for example, aid decision makers involved in the early phase of road and rail tunnel fire risk assessments. The tool has been developed at Lund University and has been termed TuFT, which is an abbreviation for Tunnel Fire Tools.

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING (Summary in Swedish) Ett självmordsförsök innebär ett stort lidande, såväl ho's personen i fråga som ho's omgivningen. Psykiatrin's huvudsakliga syfte i behandlingen av självmordsnära individer är att förhindra upprepade självmordsförsök och självmord. Av dem som gör ett självmordsförsök har 35 – 50% gjort ett eller flera självmordsfö

Background: The need for a mobile workforce inevitably means that the length of the total work day (working and traveling time) will increase, but the health effects of commuting have been surprisingly little studied apart from perceived stress and the benefits of physically active commuting. Methods: We used data from two cross-sectional population-based public health surveys performed in 2004 an

This study aims to compare and validate two soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transfer (SVAT) schemes: TERRA-ML and the Community Land Model (CLM). Both SVAT schemes are run in standalone mode (decoupled from an atmospheric model) and forced with meteorological in-situ measurements obtained at several tropical African sites. Model performance is quantified by comparing simulated sensible and latent heat

Objectives To investigate, using a Dutch model, whether and under what variables framed for other European countries screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) is preferred over cytology screening for cervical cancer, and to calculate the preferred number of examinations over a woman's lifetime. Design Cost effectiveness analysis based on a Dutch simulation model. Base case analyses investigated the

We analysed the relative importance of individual versus institutional factors in explaining variations in the utilisation of physician services among the 50+ in ten European countries. The importance of the latter was investigated, distinguishing between organisational (explicit) and cultural (implicit) institutional factors, by analysing the influence of supply side factors, such as physician de

Soils collected across a long-term liming experiment (pH 4.0-8.3), in which variation in factors other than pH have been minimized, were used to investigate the direct influence of pH on the abundance and composition of the two major soil microbial taxa, fungi and bacteria. We hypothesized that bacterial communities would be more strongly influenced by pH than fungal communities. To determine the

Shaken baby syndrome has typically been associated with findings of subdural haematoma, retinal haemorrhages and encephalopathy, which are referred to as the triad. During the last decade, however, the certainty with which the triad can indicate that an infant has been violently shaken has been increasingly questioned. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the triad in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling fokuserar på två av de många faktorer som är av fundamental betydelse både för människors välfärd och för ett lands utveckling dvs. val av dricksvattenkälla och toalettfacilitet. I avhandlingen analyseras olika aspekter av hushållsefterfrågan på dessa två faktorer med hjälp av data från Filippinerna och Bangladesh. Avhandlingen består av fem kapitel, etThis thesis focuses on different aspects of household demand, and the determinants of demand, for water and sanitation related inputs fundamental to the households' well-being, i.e. drinking water and toilet facilities. The thesis consists of five chapters, one introductory chapter and four self-contained, essentially empirical, studies. In chapter two, Women's Health Choices and the Effects on C

OBJECTIVES: Tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitor (TNFi) treatment has been shown to reduce the rates of anterior uveitis (AU) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Our objective was to compare the effect of adalimumab (ADA), etanercept (ETN) and infliximab (IFX) on AU occurrence in AS, using real-world data.METHODS: Patients with AS starting ADA, ETN or IFX as their first TNFi from January 2

Purpose: Surgery is recommended for most patients with gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasias (GEP-NENs). Rates of complications and perioperative mortality have been reported in few mostly retrospective single-center series, but there has been no detailed analysis on risk factors for perioperative complications and mortality to date. Methods: Data of patients with GEP-NENs operated be

The aim of the thesis was to build a test environment to be used by the company Cactus Uniview. The test environment should be a tool (software) for testers in the development department, the test environment should be able to ensure the quality of the tool Cactus Eye. Cactus Eye is connected to a PLCs and can be used to control many PLCs. Cactus Uniview uses a virtual test environment (entirely b

Rättegångsbalken utformades i en tid som skiljer sig väsentligt från dagens samhälle i allmänhet och bevismiljön i synnerhet. I april 2016 tillsatte regeringen en särskild utredning med uppgift att undersöka hur straffprocessen skulle kunna effektiviseras med bevarande krav på rättssäkerhet. I delbetänkandet, SOU 2017:98, föreslogs en ny bevisordning som innebär att en ljud- och bildupptagning av The Code of Judicial Procedure was written at a time that differs significantly from todays, in particularly with respect to handling of evidence. In April 2016, the Swedish Government appointed a special commission of inquiry, with the purpose of presenting a legislative proposal that could make the criminal procedure more efficient, without compromising the rule of law. In the report by the comm

Abstract Zoos have been gaining increased popularity from tourists in recent years, as many people feel distant from wildlife and thus are eager to experience closeness with animals. The aim of this paper is to analyse tourist experiences of modern zoo tourism and the research question asked is “What types of tourist experiences are tourists gaining when visiting a modern zoo?” To achieve this ai

Vid fysisk planering genom upprättande och antagande av planer analyseras hur mark- och vattenområden ska användas i framtiden. Detaljnivå och rättslig status varierar mellan plantyperna, några är rättsligt bindande medan andra är vägledande. I Sverige är makten över markanvändningsplaneringen decentraliserad, kommunerna har huvudansvaret för planeringen. Genom länsstyrelsen bevakas statens intresPhysical planning by establishing and adopting plans enables analysis of future land and water use. The level of detail and legal status varies between the different types of plans; some are legally binding while others are guiding and non-binding. Land use planning in Sweden is decentralized and municipalities carry the main responsibility for planning. Matters of national interest are watched ov

Låt inte åkern få för djupa sår, – annars vi i framtiden inga grödor får! Om det inte vore för växterna skulle vi inte kunna leva en enda sekund på vår jord. För varje andetag förlitar vi oss på att växterna producerar tillräckligt med syre till atmosfären och åkerns grödor ger oss mat på bordet. Det här är exempel på så kallade ekosystemtjänster, vilket är ett resultat av fungerande ekosystem, dAbstract The four weedy species Capsella bursa-pastoris, Elytrigia repens, Rumex longifolius and Tripleurospermum perforatum were grown for 4 weeks in a greenhouse experiment in intact soil cubes, excavated from 15 conventional agriculture fields with different land use intensity, situated in the agricultural area of South West Scania, Sweden.
