The administration’s legitimacy of the constitutional democracy consist in laws being applied in accordance with the principles which are their foundation. Care about the elderly is the municipals’ responsibility, and this task is regulated in the law of social services and the law of health and healthcare. The legislation grant individual elderly the right to a standard of living that in the law
Regional production and utilization of biomass in Sweden is analysed, considering the potential of replacing fossil fuels and producing new electricity. Extensive utilization of biomass will decrease biomass-transportation distances. The average distance for biomass transportation to a large-scale conversion plant suitable for electricity or methanol production will be 30–42 km when the conversion
Barley is an abundant crop in Europe, which makes its straw residues an interesting cellulose source for ethanol production. Steam pretreatment of the straw followed by enzymatic hydrolysis converts the cellulose to fermentable sugars. Prior to pretreatment the material is impregnated with a catalyst, for example, H2SO4, to enhance enzymatic digestibility of the pretreated straw. Different impregn
A case report of a patient who suffered from a rapidly progressive lung adenocarcinoma with malignant pleural effusions, is given. The patient failed to respond on two series of conventional cytotoxic drug therapy (Carboplatin, Etoposid). Interleukin-2 (IL-2) treatment was first started as intrapleural instillations (3.0 million IU per day in 6 days). A clear clinical response was achieved with ce

Kemisk vittring kallas processen när mineralkorn löses upp och sönderdelas i molekyler eller atomer. Det är en viktig process, bland annat för att den frigör ämnen som skyddar marken från försurning och som fungerar som näringsämnen för växter. För de så kallade baskatjonerna kalium, kalcium, magnesium och natrium är vittringen i marken bland de största källorna. Framför allt de tre förstnämnda baBase cations are important in forest soils as nutrients for vegetation and protection against soil acidification. Today, base cations have been lost from soils through acidification and forest harvesting. With low levels in soils, temporary situations of deficiency could occur. One of the largest inputs of base cations to soils is minerals weathering, which makes it an important process. It is, ho
Kraftringens geotermianläggning i Lund har varit i drift sen 1984. Det är den enda stora geoter-miska anläggningen i Sverige. Efter mer än 30 års drift är det dags att utvärdera hur det har fungerat. Arbetet be-skriver de geologiska förutsättningarna som stratigrafi (formation), formationstemperatur, typ av akvifer, porositet, permeabilitet och vattenkemi, samt driftdata, systemuppbyggnad, funktioThe geothermal heat plant in Lund has been running since 1984. It is the only one of its kind in Sweden. After running for more than 30 years it’s now time to evaluate the experiences from the long operational period of the heat plant. This report describes the geological conditions like the formation, temperature of the geothermal water, aquifer, porosity, permeability, and chemistry of the forma
VAD HAR DEN SOCIALA HÅLLBARHETEN MED KLIMATUTMANINGARNA ATT GÖRA? Frågan låter mer disparat än vad den egentligen är. Forskning och praktik visar att det finns en direkt kausalitet mellan de två. Att ett fokus på social hållbarhet kan förbättra relationen till hur vi uppfattar och hanterar klimatutmaningarna men också ge direkta återkopplingar. Det går inte att utesluta att med en utökad kunskapsToday, the concept of sustainability is central in several housing projects, not to mention the many other socio-technological projects for which the concept is a directive. In this study I problematize the relation of the paradigm of sustainable development to one of its main “pillars”, the social dimension, and how this can relate to the greatest challenge of our generation – climate change. As
Klimatförändringar är idag ett faktum och påverkar både människor och vår omgivning världen över. I Lund i södra Sverige beräknas både mängden och frekvensen av extrema skyfall att öka i framtiden, som konsekvenser av klimatförändringarna, vilket skapar stor risk för översvämningar. Samtidigt växer befolkningen och fler bostäder behövs men när nya stadsdelar byggs så finns det risk för att permeabThe consequences of climate change affect our environment as well as humanity all over the world. For the city of Lund in southern Sweden, climate change consequences are seen as an increase of both intensity and frequency of extreme rain events, which causes an extensive risk for pluvial flooding. Simultaneously, the population and need for housing are growing. When building new districts, the pe
Recent research has noticed that the picture of the second-generation immigrants negotiating their identity in media space is different and far more complex than the first generation. With their emergence in the new age of digitalisation, the second-generation immigrant is offered more media choices and freedom of access to the two most important cultural sets of host and homeland country to make
The shift to an activity-based way of working entails a change in how we view our work and our workplace. Some years ago, not many people had heard of activity-based working, but today there are many organizations around the world that apply an activity-based approach. This report aims to describe and analyze leaders’ experiences of activity-based working in different organizations. For the method
In majority of academic literature related to BDSM (bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, and sadism-masochism) the focus is often centred on men and their experiences within the community. The limited focus on women and their motivations to engage in BDSM dynamics has been a driving force in this thesis. Therefore, this research aims to address this gap and explore female BDSM practitioners&#

Den farliga bakterien som förorenar vår mat och gör oss sjuka Listeria monocytogenes, även vardagligt kallad endast listeria, är en bakterie som trivs och växer i miljöer där många andra bakterier inte kan växa. Listeria orsakar sjukdomen listerios, som är ganska ovanlig, men har en dödlighet på ca 20 – 30 %. Sjukdomen har på senare år blivit allt mer vanlig i Sverige. Som tur är finns det olika In this study the dangers of Listeria monocytogenes presence in food and the problem it creates for general food safety is presented. The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of food safety, especially when it concerns Listeria monocytogenes. The study should also give an insight to the part that Listeria monocytogenes plays among food and the risks that follows. Furthermore, it wil

This thesis reviews the literature on indigenous place-based environmental education in Canada. The concept of place is considered a starting point to localize, decolonize and integrate indigenous and non-indigenous knowledges (the culturally-situated subjective and intersubjective ways of knowing and meaning-making) in mainstream environmental education. Following a discussion of how a critical p
