Suicide in children and young adults is a leading cause of premature mortality, and there is a need to develop a more profound understanding of the factors that contribute to these deaths. This study is part of the nationwide Retrospective Investigation of Health Care Utilization in Individuals who died by Suicide in Sweden 2015, conducted at Lund University, Sweden.

Popular Abstract in English Consumption of multimedia content is one of the main tasks we perform in our day-to- day lives, such as listening to music on an iPod or watching the news from an online steaming service. As technology has evolved and enabled easier access to different content (basically access anything anywhere), our consumption has grown. In only the last decades we have evolved from Multimedia has become one of the cornerstones of our 21st century society and, when combined with mobility, has enabled a tremendous evolution of our society. However, joining these two concepts introduces many technical challenges. These range from having sufficient performance for handling multimedia content to having the battery stamina for acceptable mobile usage. When taking a projection of w

In Lund city center there are many buildings classed as cultural heritage. In Maria Magle, which is one of the oldest block in the city, the Salvation Army build their head quarter in Lund 1899. In recent time the Salvation Army sold their building and it took a new shape and form as a concert hall and is now called Magle Concert Hall. The house is owned and managed by Lund Student Singers, but it

Popular Abstract in English Bracings are structural components that assure the stability of the load bearing structures is maintained so as a desired level of load-carrying capacity of them is achieved. The present study as a whole involves investigations of either the temporary or permanent bracings that are often required during the construction phase of steel bridges. Current knowledge concerniA number of steel bridges have suffered lateral-torsional failure during their construction due to their lacking adequate lateral and/or rotational stiffness. In most cases, slight bracing can be of great benefit to the main girders involved through their controlling out-of-plane deformations and enabling the resistance that is needed to be achieved. The present research concerned the performance

Soils play a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle by regulating the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and correspondingly the Earth’s climate. However, there are still countless questions of how biological and geochemical soil processes affect the C cycle. To be able to predict future implications on the Earth’s climate, we need to understand these processes. Globally, soils store more C tIron oxide nanoparticles are involved in several important biogeochemical processes. The interfaces between aqueous solutions and iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces are found everywhere in nature, and the chemical and microbial processes occurring at these complex interfaces control e.g. nutrient and contaminant availability and transport. Recently, it has been shown that certain ectomycorrhizal (EC

Personlig integritet är ett begrepp som har fått en allt viktigare innebörd i arbetslivet de senaste åren. Frågan om drogtesters plats i arbetslivet är en av de mest framträdande frågorna, då det av många anses vara en kränkning av den personliga integriteten. Det är därför av stor vikt att bedöma när och för vilka syften ett drogtest kan anses vara befogat. Det uppstår därmed en situation där arb

This study aims to investigate, understand and explore issues related to the appropriateness of the existing fire protection solutions in historical buildings and their effectiveness in avoiding catastrophes. Therefore, recent papers, case studies, statutory documents, and guidelines are reviewed. An explanation of the rationale is provided and potential fire safety solutions for historic buildin

The industry today strives for the development of new materials and production methods to reduce CO2 emissions and production cost with lighter materials and more effective manufacturing processes. Scientists and engineers work with different methods and models to ensure the demands for new technology. The aim of this thesis is to experimentally measure the mechanical properties of two titanium al

Popular Abstract in Swedish El-avfall (avfall från elektriska och elektroniska produkter) har under det senaste årtiondet blivit ett växande miljöproblem också i de mindre rika länderna (icke-OECD länder). Informell återvinning i u-länder har lett till att giftiga ämnen, som t.ex. bly och kvicksilver från tv-apparater, PVC från sladdar och bromerade flamskyddsmedel från plastkomponenter, har läcktWaste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has become a salient issue in non-OECD countries. With a growing awareness about serious damages to the environment and human health from a lack of safe treatment and recycling of WEEE, there has been a search for policy responses in several of these countries. This research finds that extended producer responsibility (EPR), a policy principle that

Self-similar situations are idealized states often referred to in continuum mechanics. Such a situation is generally expected when the formulated problem only involves one significant length parameter. The state at a stationary or at a steadily moving concentrated load may be self-similar. In heat conductivity, the progressive phase transformation near a point-shaped heat source results in a self-Self‐similar situations are idealized states often referred to in continuum mechanics.

In this report the function of an eccentric drive (Cyclo Drive) is evaluated. The drive transfers torque between two parallel axes. The eccentric drive is used in a differential in an all-wheel drive system made by BorgWarner. The purpose of the Cyclo Drive is to transfer torque between two parallel-displaced axles without eccentric rotation. The mechanism consists of three discs with the middle

After electrophoresis of an alkaline extract of type 15 group A streptococci, three main precipitation lines were obtained in diffusion experiments against commercial human polyclonal IgG (lines 1, 2 and 3). Nineteen of 23 sera (83%) from apparently healthy human individuals gave line 3, while 6 of them (26%) gave line 1. The sera giving line 1 did also give line 3. Line 2 was obtained with 2 sera

Work from our laboratories has shown that the major antigenic determinants for rheumatoid factors (RFs) are in the C gamma 2-C gamma 3 interface region of IgG in the same area that binds staphylococcal protein A (SPA). Furthermore, the Fc binding proteins of groups A, C and G streptococci as well as the Fc binding proteins induced on cell surfaces by herpes simplex virus type I also bind to the sa

The implementation of market solutions has been widely attempted in many different parts of the public sector. This chapter concerns a groundbreaking social reform, which introduced personal assistants for ‘functionally impaired’ people. It was a far-reaching and liberating reform aimed at making disabled people part of society. It replaced collective institutional care with individual choice, in
