The ro-vibrational spectra around 3 µm of four small hydrocarbons (C2H2, CH4, C2H6 and C2H4) at 296, 550 and 820 K have been investigated using infrared degenerate four-wave mixing (IR-DFWM). The spectra were recorded in gas flows of nitrogen with small admixtures of the hydrocarbons. A fused silica glass tube surrounded by an electric heating wire was used to heat the gas flows. The recorded IR-D
Environmental impacts from incineration, decentralised composting and centralised anaerobic digestion of solid organic household waste are compared using the EASEWASTE LCA-tool. The comparison is based on a full scale case study in southern Sweden and used input-data related to aspects such as source-separation behaviour, transport distances, etc. are site-specific. Results show that biological tr
It is estimated that approximately 8-10% of yogurt-based products stick to the carton packaging material surface (Hansson, 2011), and therefore consumers cannot pour the entire product out of the package. This is a multi-dimensional problem since product loss is expensive, because all the resources throughout the supply chain are wasted (European Parliament, 2011; FAO, 2012). In addition, the rema
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka copingstrategier socialarbetare som arbetar klientnära använder sig av för att hantera den eventuella empatitrötthet och stress arbetet kan medföra, samt beakta hur begreppet resiliens har betydelse för deras välmående. För att undersöka detta har det utförts åtta stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med socialarbetare som arbetar på olika arbetsplatserThis study aims at investigating what coping strategies social workers who work close to clients use to deal with possible compassion fatigue and stress that the work may entail. Further, we want to observe how the concept of resilience is important for their well-being. To investigate this, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with social workers who work in different workplaces, who a
This study was performed to investigate the psychosocial work environment for priests in Malmö and Lund. The purpose of the study was to identify differences in psychosocial work environment for men and women, and to identify most important areas of problem within the psychosocial work environment. To measure the work environment Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, COPSOQ, was distributed to 78
Sponges are aquatic filter feeding animals that use internal chambers comprised of choanoflagellate-like cells called choanocytes to pump and filter water. In this study I investigated the behavior of choanocytes in juvenile Amphimedon queenslandica, a coral reef demosponge, when they were fed Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae compared to when they were maintained in 0.22μm filtered seawater
Vadhållningsutbudet på spelmarknaden är mångfacetterat. Det innefattar bland annat antalet gula kort och hörnor, måldifferensen med vilken ett lag ska vinna och resultatkombinationer som ackumulerar det totala oddset. För den som avser att manipulera en fotbollsmatch finns det således ett stort antal tillvägagångssätt. Oorganiserade aktörer gör överlag mindre insatser på spotbettingmarknaden utan As a result of the emergence and growth of the online gambling market, the number of betting markets available have increased vastly over the last years. As a consequence, match fixers frequently exploit the plethora of gambling objects and gambling forms on the gambling market in order to maximise winnings and minimise the risk of discovery. To limit the occurrence of manipulated matches in Swedi
Den nära personliga och ekonomiska gemenskap som ofta finns mellan makar respektive sambor har i alla tider gett upphov till en mängd särskilda regler som reglerar parternas mellanhavanden. Genom den så kallade giftorätten har makar en rätt till likadelning av giftorättsgodsets värde vid bodelning. Syftet med likadelningen är att skydda den ekonomiskt svagare maken och att åstadkomma en ekonomisk The close personal and economic bond that generally exists between spouses or cohabitants has throughout times resulted in a number of special rules governing the parties dealings. By the right to marital property, the assets are divided equally between the spouses when a division of property is made. The purpose of the right to marital property is to protect the economically weaker spouse and to
The aim of this study was to gain knowledge about which self-care strategies are used by health care counselors who work with patients in crisis or patients who have experienced trauma. To do so there was also a need to gain knowledge about stressful or emotional challenges the health care counselors experience in the daily work. The method used was a case study with semi-structured interviews. Si
Research within micro economic geography agrees that certain places create knowledge flow. However, few examples exist on micro perspectives emphasizing interpersonal interactive aspects. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to contribute with a case study on the concept of local buzz. The purpose has been to examine if Restaurant Inspira facilitates local buzz, thus offering a localized advantage
In this study I contribute with a perspective of how the European Emission Trading System (EU ETS) has affected the measures to reduce the emissions of carbon emissions in the trading sector in Skåne. To evaluate the effects of EU ETS and see if it has led to emission reductions in Skåne, I have conducted interviews with representatives from each sector and made a complementary web survey with the
Objective: To evaluate efficacy and cost-effectiveness of budesonide/formoterol (Symbicort*) maintenance (one dose once or twice daily) plus additional doses as needed (Symbicort Maintenance And Reliever Therapy, SMART) compared with a higher fixed dose of budesonide/ formoterol with formoterol as needed in patients with persistent asthma. Study design and methods: 6-month, open, randomised study
BACKGROUND: There are marked geographical variations in the proportion of patients undergoing resection for gastric cancer. This study investigated the impact of resection rate on survival. METHODS: All patients with potentially curable gastric cancer between 2006 and 2017 were identified from the Swedish National Register of Oesophageal and Gastric Cancer. The annual resection rate was calculated
Discordant U–Pb data of zircon are commonly attributed to Pb loss from domains with variable degree of radiation damage that resulted from α-decay of U and Th, which often complicates the correct age interpretation of the sample. Here we present U–Pb zircon data from 23 samples of ca. 1.7–1.9 Ga granitoid rocks in and around the Siljan impact structure in central Sweden. Our results show that zirc
We here describe two proteomic datasets deposited in ProteomeXchange via PRIDE partner repository [1] with dataset identifiers PXD000484 (defined as "training") and PXD000485 (defined as "test") that have been used for the development of a tamoxifen outcome predictive signature [2]. Both datasets comprised 56 fresh frozen estrogen receptor (ER) positive primary breast tumor specimens derived from
Background Accurate estimation of prognosis in multimorbid hospital patients could improve quality of care. This study aims to determine the relative importance and added value of a performance-based activities of daily living (ADL) measure with regard to mortality prediction. Methods 200 inpatients, aged over 60 years, were recruited at the Department of General Internal Medicine at a tertiary un
This paper investigates the UK REIT sector in response to the Brexit vote and compares it to the REIT sector of other central European countries. The underlying consideration for the research question is related to the vote’s economical impact on the direct real estate market. The aim of the study is not only to detect whether the stock market reflects the information about a future demand shift i

Extreme geomagnetic variations such as excursions where the magnetic poles shift, and return are not fully understood. 10Be, used as a proxy for the magnetic field studies has been proposed as a compliment to paleomagnetic models, allowing adjustments. LSMOD.2 is a sediment and volcanic based magnetic model encompassing the Laschamps excursion ~41 000 years ago. LSMOD.2 is limited due to lacking d
