Biodegradation is becoming an attractive mode of operation for eliminating toxic chemicals released from industrial processes or already present in the environment. One needs, however, not only to identify organisms capable of degrading such chemicals, but also to address the issue of whether these chemicals, after being degraded, will be toxic to the degrading organisms if present in high concent
Widespread presence of toxic and persistent pollutants in the environment, even at low concentrations, causes risks of adverse effects to human health and the ecosystem. Biological methods for treatment of water streams and removal of persistent pollutants are of great interest due to their simplicity, low cost, and mild operational conditions without harmful by-products. The purpose of this resea
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bioteknik är ett mycket brett ämne som handlar om att använda biologiska reaktioner för att tillverka önskvärda produkter. Det innefattar arbete med mikroorganismer, svampar, enzymer och att få dem att göra som man vill. Enzymer är naturens egna katalysatorer som gör att reaktioner går snabbare utan att själva förbrukas och de är till exempel en viktig del i vår matsmälInterest in sustainable development has increased throughout society during the past decades, and the chemical industry is no exception. The appeal for renewable raw materials has consequently increased and has paved the way for the implementation of industrial biotechnology. Since enzymes are used to convert biomass in nature, they may also be a good choice in the chemical industry. However, to i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka på vilka sätt bönder kunde göra motstånd och protestera mot överheten under de avslutande decennierna av nordisk senmedeltid, åren 1490-1525, som också utgjorde Kalmarunionens slutskede. Undersökningen består av en komparation mellan det danska Skåne och det svenska Småland, och utförs i tre steg. Först görs en genomgång öv"They defended their Right: late medieval Peasant Resistance in Scania and Småland." The aim of this thesis is to explore in what ways peasants could resist and protest against authorities during the final decades of the Nordic late middle ages, the years 1490-1525. It consists of a comparison between the Danish province of (Scania) Skåne and the Swedish province of Småland. The study is performe
OBJECTIVE: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been established as a biomarker for heart failure. The objective was to evaluate BNP measured on arrival in the intensive care unit (ICU) as a predictor for heart failure defined as need for inotropic support or IABP beyond 24 hours postoperatively after aortic valve replacement. DESIGN: A prospective, observational study. SETTING: A cardiothoracic s
Background Medical adherence is important in the treatment of depression. Primary medical adherence, i.e. patients collecting their newly prescribed medications from pharmacies, is very different depending on the drug prescribed Objective To assess the rate of primary medical adherence in patients prescribed antidepressants and to identify characteristics that make patients less likely to pick up
BACKGROUND The nature and underlying mechanisms of an inverse association between adult height and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) are unclear. METHODS We used a genetic approach to investigate the association between height and CAD, using 180 height-associated genetic variants. We tested the association between a change in genetically determined height of 1 SD (6.5 cm) with the risk of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Glas kan användas för retrospektiva radon mätningar på grund av radondöttrars förmåga att implantera i glasets översta skikt. Mängden implanterad aktivitet blir lätt påverkad av en rad olika faktorer i den omgivande luften. Experimentella metoder har därför utvecklats för att bestämma djupfördelningen av alfarekyl-implanterat 210Po i glas. Detta göres genom gradvis etsnGlass sheets are often used in radon surveys to estimate retrospective radon concentrations, as radon progenies are embedded in the upper surface layer. The implanted activity is influenced by a variety of different environmental conditions. In this work, experimental methods based on etching to determine the depth distribution of recoil-implanted 210Po in glass from radon decay in air were develo
Popular Abstract in English Lions (Panthera leo) have become known to be synonymous with wild Africa since its extinction from most parts of its former range (Europe, Asia and Southern America). Few people realize that anthropogenic activities have caused habitat loss, fragmentation and reduction in size to the lions, forcing them to the brink of extinction. Whenever out in nature, most tourists tHigh growth rate in human populations, agricultural developments and industrialization have impinged negatively on the natural habitats of most large carnivores, causing fragmentation, isolation and consequently reduction in population size. Lions (Panthera leo) that once roamed most parts of Southern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North America, northern part of South America and most parts of Af
Since undergraduate students often feel unprepared for and apprehensive of the research component included in the degree project (examensarbete) (Akister et al, 2006; I’Anson et al, 2004; Todd et al, 2004), we trialled the use of personal virtual learning spaces to support B- and C-level students’ research activities and enhance supervision of the writing process. The personal virtual learning s
The kinetics of structure change when dispersions of two different types of lipid-based liquid-crystalline phases, one lamellar and one reversed, are mixed has been investigated using synchrotron small-angle X-ray diffraction and ellipsometry. The systems studied were (i) cubic-phase nanoparticles (CPNPs) based on glycerol monooleate (GMO) stabilized with a nonionic block copolymer, Pluronic F-127
[1] Mires are key landscape elements at high latitudes and have certainly accumulated carbon during the Holocene, but their current carbon balance at the present time is very unclear. The major carbon flux is the land-atmosphere CO2 exchange and full-year data are still limited. Here we present data from 3 a (2001-2003) of continuous Eddy Covariance measurements at Degero Stormyr (64 degrees 11'N,
Water-soluble poly(acrylic acid) has been covalently labeled with a fluorescent hydrophobic chromophore, naphthalene (Np), randomly attached onto the polymer backbone with an amount of 3 mol %. The polymer, which is a new type of hydrophobically modified polymer denoted PAAMeNp-34, was investigated using steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy in aqueous solutions of different pH and in methanol. T
The main objective was to assess knowledge, practices, and restrictions faced by young women regarding their menstrual hygiene. The views of adult women having young daughters were also included and both views were compared. In addition, the factors influencing the menstrual hygiene practices were also studied. The study was carried out during 2008 in Mumbai, India. The mixed methods approach was
This thesis deals with the development and application of new estimation approaches based on factor analysis for estimation and inference in dynamic panel data models with fixed-effects. A new factor analytical method (FA) for the estimation of fixed-effects dynamic panel data models is proposed in Bai ("Fixed-Effects Dynamic Panel Models, A Factor Analytical Method". Econometrica 81, 285-314, 201
Introduction: Understanding violent criminality and its impact on health and eventually the risk of premature mortality is important for efficient future interventions. This study aimed to explore the effect violent criminality had on premature mortality (i.e., death before the age of 65) among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs). Methods: The cohort was created by identifying all Swed

This report presents the work developing a modular sailboat interior system that offers an easy and affordable way for recreational sailors to customize the interiors of their sailboats according to their different and changing needs. Cruising sailboats are like floating houses or cottages, with the difference that the interior is permanent. They have a long product life and often last for decade
Changes in Sweden’s migration and asylum policies are constantly occurring as a topic in the political debate. When a foreigner hands in their asylum application to the Swedish Migration Agency a decision must be made rather quickly. It has become a common issue for unaccompanied children to prove their identity. The part of the identity that matters the most for the Swedish Migration Agency is th
