Under de senaste decennierna har det blivit allt tydligare att den omfattande användningen av fossila bränslen är dåligt för miljön. I och med att kunskapen om hur fossila bränslen påverkar miljön har ökat, så har också intresset för alternativa bränslen ökat. Etanol är ett förnyelsebart bränsle som framställs av biomassa och användningen av etanol har ökat under de senaste 40 åren. Etanol ger minDuring the last decades, it has become increasingly clear that the extensive use of fossil fuels may severely threaten the environment. As the awareness of negative environmental impacts of fossil fuels has increased, the interest of alternative fuel sources has developed. Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from biomass that has attracted growing attention during the last 40 years. Ethanol has lower

Background: In todayʼs fast moving world, the communication of science and technology is playing an increasingly important role for the relation between science and the public. Both journalists and researchers have their own agenda when communicating as public interest, corporate science and the competition for funding increases. At the same time, the conditions on which stories about science can

Vid entreprenadprojekt uppkommer ofta tvister rörande entreprenörens rätt till tidsförlängning och ersättning för merkostnader. Vid sådana tvister kan det vara svårt för entreprenören att visa vad som har orsakat den händelse som entreprenören menar ger rätt till tidsförlängning eller ersättning, och hur stort behovet av tidsförlängning eller merkostnader är. Dessa svårigheter har lett till utveckIn construction projects it often arise disputes concerning the contractor’s right to an extension of time and compensation for extra costs. In these disputes it can be challenging for the contractor to prove what has caused the effect that the contractor consider entitle to extension of time or compensation for extra costs, and how great the need for an extension of time or extra costs are. Such

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans consist of a small family of proteins decorated with one or more covalently attached heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains. These chains have intricate structural patterns based on the position of sulfate groups and uronic acid epimers, which dictate their ability to engage a large repertoire of heparan sulfate-binding proteins, including extracellular matrix prote

Stem cell lines that faithfully maintain the regional identity and developmental potency of progenitors in the human brain would create new opportunities in developmental neurobiology and provide a resource for generating specialized human neurons. However, to date, neural progenitor cultures derived from the human brain have either been short-lived or exhibit restricted, predominantly glial, diff

BACKGROUND: Opioids are still widely prescribed to long-term pain patients although they are no longer recommended for long-term treatments due to poor evidence for long-term efficacy, risks of serious side effects, and the possibility of inducing opioid hyperalgesia. In a Cochrane study from 2017, the authors identified an urgent need for more randomized controlled trials investigating the effici

By employing seven semi-structured interviews with local judges and prosecutors in Kosovo, this study aims at examining how the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) has impacted the legal order in Kosovo and the practice of the judges and prosecutors. In addition, this study examines how the impacts of EULEX, and how the judges and prosecutors will be affected after the EULEX are withdrawn f

Glaciärer har visat sig vara känsliga för klimatologiska förändringar i sitt närområde och deras känslighet sträcker sig över flera olika tidsskalor. Glaciärerna har därför kommit att användas som indikatorer på både pågående och förhistoriska klimatförändringar. För att glaciärerna ska kunna spegla klimatet så krävs emellertid tillförlitliga mätmetoder av glaciärernas massa. I avsikt att återge gGlaciers integrate variations in climate over several different time scales and are thus used as indicators of both present and past climate change. It is however of importance to be able to correctly measure changes in the glaciers mass over time (the glaciers mass-balance), if one wishes to use the glaciers as climate indicators. The mass-balance of a glacier is a direct result of the glaciers a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag lagras allt fler kartor digitalt och nya metoder krävs för att förbättra denna digitala hantering. Ett område som studerats under senare tid är automatiska metoder för kartografisk generalisering. Kartografisk generalisering innebär att man förenklar informationen i en karta för att göra den mer lättläst i den önskade skalan. Denna avhandling beskriver en optimerinCartographic generalisation is the process of simplifying a representation to suit the scale and purpose of a map. As such, generalisation has always been a central part in map production. This thesis is a contribution to the ongoing work on automating cartographic generalisation. Two topics are treated: optimisation methods in graphic generalisation, and propagation of updates between cartographi

Aims Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) is effective but has significant limitations. AZD0837, a new oral anticoagulant, is a prodrug converted to a selective and reversible direct thrombin inhibitor (AR-H067637). We report from a Phase II randomized, dose-guiding study (NCT00684307) to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinet

The aim of the present study is to develop a mathematical model for evaluating therapeutic response of combined treatment modalities. The study was performed in rats of the Fischer-344 strain with rat glioma N32 or N29 tumors implanted subcutaneously on the thigh of the hind leg. Pulsed electric fields, PEF, with 16 exponentially decaying pulses with a maximum electric field strength of 140 V/mm a

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 208 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder. Fåglarna har räknats vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommarrespektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan 1996) men täcker hela Sverige på ett representativt sätt. Nattaktiva fåglar harWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2017 include data from: 575 winter point counts in 2016/2017 (42nd winter), of which 284 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 223 summer point count routes (43rd year) an

Asymmetry of striatal dopaminergic deficits and motor symptoms is a typical characteristic of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study aims to characterise the trend of asymmetry in moderate-stage PD. We performed a 19-month longitudinal study in 27 patients with PET-CT imaging and appropriate clinical assessments. 11C-PE2I non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) was calculated bilaterall

Background and aims: The aim of the study was to determine potential associations between endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness, measured by peripheral arterial tonometry, and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) assessed by computed tomography (CT). Methods and results: The BIG3 study is a prospective longitudinal, non-interventional, pulmonary-cardiovascular cohort study exploring the t

Based on data searches and life-table analyses, we determined the long-term (remaining lifetime) and short-term (10- and 5-year) absolute risks of hip fracture after sustaining a Colles' or spine fracture and searched for potential gender-related differences. In aging men, Colles' fractures carry a higher absolute risk for hip fracture than spinal fractures in contrast to women. These findings sup

Abstract på danskaDenne artikel undersøger relationen mellem kold krig og velfærd ved at afdække hvordan Civilforsvaret i stigende grad blev bygget ind i velfærdsstatens arkitektur fra midten af 1950’erne. Artiklens hoveddel er tre case-studier: et socialt boligbyggeri, en skole og et hospital, der alle havde vitale funktioner i det beredskab, der var etableret af Civilforsvaret for at imødegå denThis article explores the relationship between welfare and warfare during theCold War by focusing on the increasing incorporation of civil defence into welfare state architecture from the mid-1950s. Three case studies: a social housing area, a school and a hospital, demonstrate how ordinary welfare architecture had vital functions for civil defence in preparations for the nuclear war. The article
