In one year water research project in Borensberg Waterworks, Motala, Sweden, water quality with respect to microscopic particle accounts both in raw water and drinking water were monitored by Predect’s Online Water Quality Monitoring System. Microscopic particle counts were documented with normalized value in real-time by P-100 for raw water and P-300 for pure water. This report aimed to evaluate
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det största oljefältet på land i nordvästra Europa, Schoonebeekfältet i Nederländerna har varit föremål för denna studie. Oljeproduktionen stoppades på grund av att vatten trängt in i oljereservoaren. När vatten under produktionen blandas med olja sker detta på grund av att den existerande flödesmodellen av reservoaren är felaktig. Detta innebar att det blev ekoThe Valanginian (Lower Cretaceous) Bentheim succession of the Schoonebeek field is deposited in a shallow-marine environment along the southern and southwestern coast of the Lower Saxony Basin in eastern Netherlands. Three cores from Schoonebeek field, selected by NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij), and a number of samples from an outcrop in the Bentheim Sandstone at Gildehaus were studied. I
Sweden today is suffering from a housing shortage. Not least among young adults, students in particular. One reason to why the supply of housing is insufficient and unable to meet the demands most likely has to do with the slow construction rate that occured between the years of 2008 and 2012. The slow construction rate combined with an increased demand in proportion to the growing population has
The provision of military and armed security services typically is the monopoly domain of the state. With the end of the Cold War legitimate private firms, however, expanded as worldwide providers of military and security services. The proliferation of private military companies echoes back to pre-modern eras when it was customary for state rulers to allocate force and security through the market.
This papers examines the impact Transnational Advocacy Networks have had on the process for Human Rights Accountability in Uruguay. Uruguay has an amnesty law in place since 1986, but have in spite of this managed to prosecute main figures of the 1973-1985 dictatorship, and the amnesty law is currently seriously challenged. The 'Network thesis', regards these Transnational Advocacy Network
The urban politics in Malmoe have shifted its focus from welfare to economic growth. New investments in the physical environment have been made to create a new image of the city and increase the economic growth. In this paper I will investigate the urban politics of city planning by making a case study of the former industrial area Norra Sorgenfri, which is now to be made into an integrated part o
Uppsatsen behandlar proportionalitet och straffteori utifrån ett amerikanskt respektive ett svenskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen utgår från en indelning som typiskt görs för att indela straffrättssystemet och avhandlar amerikansk respektive svensk straffteori utifrån ett lagstiftnings- och ett domstolsperspektiv. Det bör understrykas att uppsatsen inte är någon komparation mellan rättsystemen, utan snaraThis essay concerns the issue of proportionality in penal theory as it is applied in USA and in Sweden. The essay compares two main aspects, or levels of this proportionality; the judicial level and the court level, of each jurisdiction respectively; applying the comparative method. The essay thus addresses the federal system of American jurisprudence, and the interpreting and guiding role of th
If money with illicit origins enters into circulation in the financial system it poses a threat to the mechanisms of the financial system. Financial Action Task Force have concluded that the Swedish legal requirements for combating money laundering is insufficient, and the organisation have advised Swedish authorities to effectuate preventive measures. Therefore, the Swedish legal system is not co
Background: Due to increasing globalization and Internet communication, the number of international marriages has increased. In Sweden, 75% of the Thai population are women, among whom 80% are partnered with Swedish or other Scandinavian men. Previous studies have indicated that lack of autonomy, social isolation, and stigma are important risk factors for poor mental health for foreign-born women
Dietary carotenoids have been proposed to boost immune system and antioxidant functions in vertebrate animals, but studies aimed at testing these physiological functions of carotenoids have often failed to find support. Here we subject yellow canaries (Serinus canaria), which possess high levels of carotenoids in their tissue, and white recessive canaries, which possess a knockdown mutation that r
Den här avhandlingen undersöker staters interaktion som en social läroprocess, i syfte att förstå hur stater lär sig om miljönormer. Detta sker genom en konstruktivistisk ansats och mer specifikt ett roll-teoretiskt perspektiv, där en roll förstås som statens repertoar av beteende, jämsides dess funktion i en social interaktionskontext. Rollen formas av ego- och alterförväntningar, det vill säga bThis study investigates state interaction as a social learning process, where the ultimate aim is to enhance an understanding on how states learn of environmental norms. An entry into the domain on such learning processes is offered through a Constructivist approach and more specifically through the employment of a role theoretical perspective; a role here is signified as a state's repertory of be
The double compression expansion engine (DCEE) is a promising concept for high engine efficiency while fulfilling the most stringent European and US emission legislation. The complete thermodynamic cycle of the engine is split among several cylinders. Combustion of fuel occurs in the combustion cylinder and in the expansion cylinder the exhaust gases are over expanded to obtain high efficiency. A
The recent surge in publications on the history of knowledge may obscure the fact that there are several parallel understandings of what the field is. In this article, I discern five major historiographical directions in contemporary scholarship regarding the history of knowledge. The analytical framework that has so far attracted the most attention is the circulation of knowledge. As productive a
I lite drygt ett århundrade gestaltade den svenska värnplikten värderingar som jämlikhet, solidaritet och idén om att man skulle ”göra sin plikt och kräva sin rätt”. Värnplikten började som en rekryteringsmodell 1901, men förvandlades under 1900-talet till en institution i sin egen rätt: uppskattad av pliktskyldiga, Försvarsmakten, samhället, Högern och Vänstern. När det kalla kriget tog slut påböFor little more than a century military service enacted Swedish values of equality, solidarity and doing one's part for the public good. What started out at as mere military recruitment policy in 1901 developed into an institutional feature of Swedish society: appreciated by society, the conscripts, the Armed Forces and by political parties to the left and the right. In a pursuit to preserve milit
The ecosystem services (EcoS) concept is being used increasingly to attach values to natural systems and the multiple benefits they provide to human societies. Ecosystem processes or functions only become EcoS if they are shown to have social and/or economic value. This should assure an explicit connection between the natural and social sciences, but EcoS approaches have been criticized for retain
AIMS: This nationwide study aimed to analyse the first 2 years of routine clinical use of cangrelor in all Swedish patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS: This observational Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) study identified 915 cangrelor-treated patients. As 899 were ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)-patients
BACKGROUND: There is uncertainty about the relevance of animal foods to the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease (IHD). We examined meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs and risk for IHD in the pan-European EPIC cohort (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition). METHODS: In this prospective study of 409 885 men and women in 9 European countries, diet was assessed with validate
Background: Somali women suffer from one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Somalia characterises a specific low-income country situation with a mix of newly urbanized and nomadic culture combined with a frail health care infrastructure set in a post-conflict era. Very little is known about the effects that these contextual factors can have on maternal mortality. Objectives: To
The purpose was to examine the association between exercise during pregnancy and intelligence score in offspring. We analyzed data from 4008 women from the Aarhus Birth Cohort, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, recruited during pregnancy from July 1989 to November 1991 and their sons who were registered at conscription at 17-20 years of age. The women gave information by self-administered quest
Gambling has been suggested as one of the potential mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. In earlier self-report studies, increased gambling has been reported by a limited proportion of respondents characterized with a high degree of problem gambling. The present study, carried out with the same methodology and in the same geographical setting, around seven months later in the pande
