DN DEBATT 15/3. Sedan industrialiseringens början har vi använt omkring fyra femtedelar av den mängd fossilt kol som får förbrännas för att vi ska klara Parisavtalet. Vi har bara en femtedel kvar och det är bråttom att kraftigt reducera utsläppen. Det har Greta Thunberg och de strejkande ungdomarna förstått. Därför stödjer vi deras krav, skriver 270 klimatforskare.
Technological developments now make it possible to employ many markers for many individuals in a phylogeographic setting, even for taxa with large and complex genomes such as salamanders. The banded newt (genus Ommatotriton) from the Near East has been proposed to contain three species (O. nesterovi, O. ophryticus and O. vittatus) with unclear phylogenetic relationships, apparently limited intersp
Background. A mathematical framework is presented for simultaneously quantifying and evaluating the trade-off between tumor control and late complications for risk-based radiation therapy (RT) decision-support. To demonstrate this, we estimate life years lost (LYL) attributable to tumor recurrence, late cardiac toxicity and secondary cancers for standard-risk pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) patient
This thesis is concerned with history within Nick Clegg’s and Nigel Farage’s political discourse during the six months leading up to the 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership in the European Union. Using Thematic Analysis combined with Klas-Göran Karlsson’s typology of the use of history, Jörn Rüsen’s typology of historical narrative and drawing on the theoretical framework of histori
Röntgensjuksköterskors kompetens är en förutsättning för att garantera hög patientsäkerhet och vårdkvalité. Studiens syfte var att beskriva den kliniskt verksamma Radiological Technologists’ professionella kompetens inom diagnostisk radiologisk verksamhet i Japan. Metod var en enkätstudie med mätinstrumentet Radiographers’ Competence Scale som består av två domäner: “Nurse-initiated care” och “Tec
The EU has over the years tried to implement a common European identity to legitimize its increased sovereignty in Europe. In present time, nationalist movements have been assembling in European countries which seem to contradict the aimed effect of the European identity. This thesis examines the outspoken nationalist group Identity and Democracy in the European Parliament and how they portray the
Lithuania like other Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries has undergone major changes from the communist socio-economic order to the system based on democratic capitalism. This shift towards market economy and the collapse of communist ideology were also reflected in higher education (HE) reforms. Since political parties are the main actors in modern democracies, partisan politics could in
Around the world, the treatment of food waste is a major administrative and environmental problem throughout the food supply chain. Beijing, as any other mega city, is facing vast issues of sustainable food waste treatment in addition to efforts for food waste reduction. Presently the majority of Beijing's food waste is treated together with the mixed residual waste in landfills (53%) and inci
This thesis is essentially a project in theory- and method-building. It engages the strengths of Vaughan-Williams’ alternative border imaginary under the name of the generalised biopolitical border (GBB) in accounting for the complexity of border phenomena in contemporary global politics. However, it identifies two major shortcomings related to Vaughan-Williams’ application of the GBB to various e
I denna uppsats härleds och testas en ny omviktningsalgoritm med vars hjälp det nativa tillståndet av aminosyresekvenser, bestående av 16 aminosyror, kan förutspås. Algoritmen används till att kartlägga de neutrala näten av α-helixes och β-sheets inom ett kontinuerligt proteinmodell. För att undersöka omviktningsalgoritmens potential för att förutsäga den termodynamiska stabiliteten av olika aminIn this thesis, a new reweighting algorithm for predicting the native conformations of amino acid sequences, consisting of 16 residues in a reduced representation continuous protein model, is derived and tested to map neutral nets of α-helices and β-sheets. For examining the potential of the reweighting algorithm for predicting the thermodynamic stability of amino acid sequences, it is applied to
Senaste årens forskning visar intressanta likheter mellan diagnosgrupperna ADHD och schizofreni gällande kognitiva nedsättningar, framförallt i form av brister i arbetsminnet. Trots att missbruk är vanligt i dessa diagnosgrupper saknas forskning på huruvida dessa samband är giltiga även vid en komorbid missbruksdiagnos. Syftet med studien var därför att undersöka hur arbetsminnesförmågan ser ut fö
Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improvi
Den problemformulering som ligger till grund för denna uppsats kretsar kring den stereotypiska bild som ofta blir central när vi talar om personer med funktionshinder. Studiens problemformulering grundas även på den ledande roll som media har för individers uppfattning av verkligheten och etablering av normer. Syftet med studien har således varit att studera hur personer med funktionshinder framst
Despite that freight transports account for a notable and increasing share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, previous studies have identified that buyers of freight transport services often do not engage sufficiently to reduce emissions from the freight transports they purchase. An aspect that has not been adequately investigated, however, is how transport purchasers are influenced by new
Grundvattenmodellering används ofta av yrkesverksamma hydrogeologer för att ta fram predikt- ioner som ska fungera som underlag i beslutsfattandeprocesser. I Sverige finns det inga lagar som reglerar hur en grundvattenmodell ska utformas, och de kan se väldigt olika ut. Därför har syftet med detta arbete varit att under- söka svenska grundvattenmodeller skapade av industrin i beslutsändamål under Groundwater modeling is often employed by professional hydrogeologists to make predictions to be used by regulators in decision-making. In Sweden, there are no laws governing the way in which a groundwater model may be created or shaped, and therefore they may differ wildly from one another. Thus, the goal of this study has been to research Swedish groundwater models created by the industry during
According to Chapter 2 Section 2 of the Swedish Tort Liability Act, pure economic loss arising in non-contractual relations shall be compensated if the tortfeasor has caused the loss through the commission of a crime. Although never intended, until recently, the general view was that in the absence of legislation, damages could only be awarded for pure economic loss outside contractual relations i

Background In the surroundings of the Dadaab Refugee Camps in Kenya lives a large pastoral population under less favourable conditions than the people inside the refugee camps. Many international NGO’s have started to support the hosting community, but there seems to be a lack of long term oriented development work. This project is based on a wonder over why it apparently is difficult for an inter
Allt färre ungdomar läser på sin fritid och man har under de åtta senaste åren sett en minskning i antal biblioteksbesök bland ungdomar. Hur mycket man väljer att läsa påverkar resultaten i skolan. Detta påverkar i sin tur hela det svenska samhället. I uppsatsen ”Från biblioteket till unga: om bibliotekariens tankar kring kommunikation, organisation och marknadsföring till unga” undersöker vi
This thesis addresses the complexities of the situation of the Roma in Romania and Spain and the challenges of including isolated groups in society. The main texts used for comparison come from the Council of Europe’s expert bodies: the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), the Advisory Committee (ACFC) under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (
