Working distributed is increasingly important today with technology being more and more portable while connectivity is still lacking in some areas. Cellphones and laptops are increasingly in use outside the office with connectivity to internal office services being unreliable, either due to lacking speed or inability to have a connection. Different solutions exist. One is a client-server setup wh
Background and aims: Oral aminosalicylates are well established in the treatment of active mild/moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) when the disease is extensive (that is, beyond the splenic flexure). The majority of clinical symptoms relate to disease activity in the distal part of the colon and therefore this study was designed to investigate if adding a mesalazine enema to oral mesalazine has addi
This thesis investigates the Danish public service station DR and the national structure of the media. As the democratic process has increasingly moved from the national level to the EU and as Danes rely on television as the main source of information on European political matters, it is only reasonable to expect the national public service station, DR, to fulfil that role, nonetheless previous st
This thesis investigates the video projections that are presented on screens during live music performances through a case study focusing on the Touring the Angel concert by Depeche Mode. The concert took place in Milan and was released on DVD in 2006. Video projections during live concerts combine images that were produced before, such as video clips and still photography, with shots from the sta
This report will examine the reliability of calculation methods used for concrete structures in the serviceability limit state. A comparison between the different methods will be done, based on calculations of the reliability index for these methods. This comparison will be the base for a discussion about what norm that should be prefferd in different situations and what level of reliability the c
High-elevation hydropower units in California might be sensitive to climate warming since they have been designed to take advantage of snowmelt and have low built-in storage capacities. Snowmelt is expected to shift to earlier in the year and the system might not be able to store sufficient water for release in high-electricity-demanding periods. Previous studies have tried to explore the climate
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Dementia cases are expected to triple during the next 30 years, highlighting the importance of finding modifiable risk factors for dementia. The aim of this study is to investigate whether adherence to conventional dietary recommendations or to a modified Mediterranean diet are associated with subsequent lower risk of developing all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (A
With the migration from traditional news media to social media, understanding how citizens learn about politics and current affairs from these sources has become increasingly important. The use of social networking sites has become fully integrated into the strategies of political parties. Visualizations of political communication are becoming increasingly available across a variety of platforms a
Precambrian inliers of the Anti-Atlas belt in the southern part of Morocco contain numerous dolerite dyke and sill swarms which were previously poorly dated. Four dykes and two sills dated by the U-Pb TIMS method on baddeleyite and zircon provide the first steps toward a magmatic 'barcode' for the West African Craton (WAC) and constraints on the timing of breakup of the WAC from Precambrian superc
The C-14 dating method is the cornerstone for inferring age estimates for natural archives covering the last 50 000 yrs. However, C-14 age calibration for the last ice age relies mostly on records that only indirectly reflect the atmospheric C-14 concentrations. In consequence, calendar age estimates are significantly more uncertain for the period of the last ice age compared to the past 14000 yrs
A paleomagnetic study of the western end of the similar to 585 Ma Grenville dyke swarm shows that individual dykes are characterized by high coercivity and unblocking temperature magnetizations that can differ in direction by as much as 90 degrees. Field tests including baked contact studies and the continuity of paleomagnetic direction along dyke strike, suggest that the magnetizations are primar
The behavior of a sterically crowded neutral pincer {2,6-bis[(di-t-butylphosphino)methyll-phenyl}palladium (PCPPd) halides, PCPPdX (X = Cl, Br or I), as XB acceptors with strong halogen bond (XB) donors, iodine (I(2)), 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (F4DIBz), and 1,4-dliodooctafluorobutane (F8DIBu) were studied in the solid state. The co-crystallization experiments afforded high-quality single cryst
We investigate how selection of psychiatric cases by phenotypic criteria can alter the strength and specificity of their genetic risk by examining samples from national Swedish registries for five disorders: major depression (MD, N = 158,557), drug use disorder (DUD, N = 69,841), bipolar disorder (BD, N = 13,530)) ADHD (N = 54,996) and schizophrenia (N = 11,227)). We maximized the family genetic r
Introduction: Contact allergy to nickel (Ni) is a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Ni-reactive T cells producing the hallmark cytokines of several T-helper cell (Th) populations including IFN-γ(Th1), IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 (Th2), and IL-17A (Th17). IL-22-expressing CD4+ cells, which could be either Th17 co-expressing IL-22 or Th22, expressing IL-22 in the absence of IL-17A, have al
Today the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) tabular method according to CIE 117-195 and CIE 190-210 is practically the only one used for evaluation of discomfort glare in the lighting design process but it is unknown if the method is in line with the subjective perception of glare (SGI). We investigated whether UGR calculation method currently used in lighting design is in agreement with the perceived di
Global warming and its effects on climate are of great concern. Climate change can affect buildings in different ways, i.e. it can change the energy demand or the moisture durability of buildings in the future. In Sweden, most of the last 20 years have been mild and wet compared to the 1961-1990 climate reference period. Future needs and risks of the building sector depend on the future climate wh
The purpose of the present dissertation is to problematize the choice of content in the subject Tourism in Swedish upper secondary school, and it thereby aims to contribute to a discussion of the subject content and its implications. The dissertation is informed by an international tradition of tourism education research, as well as by research pursued within a Swedish curriculum theory tradition.
