In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), hosting m

The Lisbon Treaty has made Policy Coherence for Development a legal obligation for the EU, thus the Union’s has a clear institutionalised commitment to makes sure that non-aid policies are not undermining the objectives in the development policy. EU’s energy policy with the 10% target of biofuels in the transport sector have been a point of great debate. Biofuels have been contested both within th

Problem discussion: Syncron experience a challenge in realizing the full market potential of its newly developed IT-based price management system, Global Price Management (GPM). The system has already been implemented and is currently running with success within the IT-structures of the first customer. The fact that the development of the system has been initiated by a customer, and thereby has le

Objective: Detailed analysis of hematological manifestations (HM) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are limited and their clinical impact on disease remain obscure. Here, we aimed to decipher factors associated with different hematological abnormalities in SLE patients and to assess their impact on disease related outcomes. Methods: A dataset (GIPT) originating from SLE patients of six Europea

Background: Inferior placement of a femoral stem is predictive for early loosening and failure, but does restoration of the original hip anatomy benefit the function and survival of a total hip replacement? Methods: Seventy-five patients with primary unilateral hip osteoarthritis operated with an uncemented anatomical stem were randomized for either standard or modular stems. We used 50 ABG II ste

Since spring 2019 an experimental setup consisting of an electron spectrometer and an ion time-of-flight mass spectrometer for diluted samples has been available for users at the FinEstBeAMS beamline of the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. The setup enables users to study the interaction of atoms, molecules, (molecular) microclusters and nanoparticles with short-wavelength (vacuum ultraviolet an

Integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) is widely recognized as a solution for reducing the risk and impacts of disasters. However, successful integration seems elusive, and the two goals continue to function in isolation and in parallel. This article provides empirical insights into the perceived effects of separating government institutions for DRR and CC

Identification of prostate gold fiducial markers in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is challenging when CT images are not available, due to misclassifications from intra-prostatic calcifications. It is also a time consuming task and automated identification methods have been suggested as an improvement for both objectives. Multi-echo gradient echo (MEGRE) images have been utilized for manu

Occupation can be defined as all activities that occupy a person’s time. The Satisfaction with Daily Occupations and Occupational Balance instrument evaluates the perceived satisfaction with performance and the balance in time dedicated to different occupations. The main aim was to translate the original instrument to Spanish and examine and establish the psychometric properties. This is a quantit

Title: Configuring the storage and return flow processes of reusable packaging for battery cells: A design science study of a global battery cell manufacturer Author: Linnea Sjöberg Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. Problem Description: As reusable packaging is becoming increasingly popular, the already existing warehouses need t

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vi lever idag i ett informationssamhälle och delar av denna information är geografisk. Denna geografiska information kan användas för att skapa kartor efter egna önskemål och för specifika användningsområden. Genom att ansluta till en webbsida som tillhandahåller visningstjänster av kartor kan en användare välja vilken information som ska vara med i en karta och We live in an information intensive society and geographic data are part of this information. These geographic data are used by private persons to plan holiday trips or to find the way to business meetings. Companies utilize geographic data in fields such as forestry, construction work, and tourism. Local municipalities require geographic data for planning purposes, and in the academic world much

GIS (geographical informationsystems) is computer-based informationsystems with functions for input, processing, storage, analysis and presentation of geographical data. This means that data after processing and ystematisation gives information that may be presented as maps, tables and statistics, which can provide basic data for analysis and decisions. This report describes a theoretical backgrou

This thesis addresses the correlation between creditor protection and thecross-border seat transfer of companies in the light of the case law of the European Court of Justice concerning the freedom of establishment of undertakings. After the restrictive outcome of Daily Mail, the judgment of the European Court of Justice in Centros took the legal community by surprise. The following cases of Übers

During the second half of the 20th century, more possibilities of singing Psalms in the common Sunday service arose in Church of Sweden. The aim of this study is to see in what different ways the Psalms are usually sung and where they appear in the different worship books. I am interested in how this has changed over time, from the 1940s until today. A special focus is also on church musicians and

Herein, we present a case of severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs), myocarditis with myositis, and myasthenia gravis overlap syndrome (IM3OS) in a patient receiving an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), as adjuvant therapy after surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. An 80-year-old woman who had undergone a total cystectomy for bladder cancer presented with ptosis, diplopia, and paraly

Scapolite-bearing orthogneisses underlying the Proterozoic Varena Iron Ore Deposit, eastern Lithuania, the western East European Craton, represent the development of a sodic alteration zone. Scapolite chemistry records fluid salinity increase with temperature, reaching its maximum at temperatures of ∼750 °C. Fluid-mineral reactions controlled the fluid KCl/NaCl ratio, enabling partial melting at p
