Förorenar Arktiska samhällen sig själva och påverkas marina organismer i samband med detta? Ja, bara i Adventfjorden och Grønfjorden på Svalbard finns förorening från lokala källor för 14 av 57 analyserade flamskydds- och ytbehandlingsämnen i sediment. Inte så mycket tänker kanske du? Men den största anledningen till förekomsten av dessa ämnen är utsläpp av orenat avloppsvatten och läckage från s

I många svenska hem finns den bruna papperspåsen som matavfallet ska slängas i, men hur många gånger har du inte blivit trött på att den droppar och luktar illa? Ibland kan det kännas lättare att slänga matavfallet i restavfallet för att slippa dessa problem, men det är viktigt att matavfallet sorteras ut för miljöns skull. Därför utvecklas tekniker som kan göra det lättare för dig att sortera matFood waste has received increased attention due to its negative environmental and economic effects. In Sweden, households account for 71 % of the total amount of generated food waste. A large portion of this food waste is thrown in the residual waste instead of being source-separated, which indicates a need for improved options regarding food waste disposal. This study aimed to assess how in-sink

This thesis aims to reproduce and improve a paper about dynamic road user detection on 2D bird's-eye-view radar point cloud in the context of autonomous driving. We choose RadarScenes, a recent large public dataset, to train and test deep neural networks. We adopt the two best approaches, the image-based object detector with grid mappings approach and the semantic segmentation-based clustering

Diskrimineringslag (2008:567) trädde i kraft den 1 januari 2009. Lagen erbjuder ett bestämt antal avskilda grunder som en missgynnande handling behöver ha samband med för att diskriminering ska kunna anses föreligga. Diskrimineringsgrunderna utgör avskilda kategorier och kan varken kombineras eller adderas. Kategorierna utgörs av kön, könsöverskridande identitet eller uttryck, etnisk tillhörighet,The Discrimination Act (2008:567) entered into force on the 1st of January 2009.

Den svenska entreprenadsektorn innehar en särställning inom obligationsrätten på så sätt att det saknas lagstiftning och att det ofta rör sig om komplexa avtalssituationer där den befintliga lagstiftningen inte är direkt tillämpbar. Entreprenaderna är ofta långa avtalsförhållanden som involverar flertalet parter och entreprenörer i flera led, samtidigt som hela entreprenaden i vissa fall kan vara The Swedish construction sector holds a special position in the law of obligations because there is no legislation and there are often complex contractual situations where the existing legislation is not directly applicable. The contracts are often long-term contractual relationships that involve several parties and contractors in several stages, while the entire contract in some cases is fully de

Long-distance bird migrants face three main constraints: time, energy, and predation risk during migration. As a result, their migratory strategies may be altered. Since migratory birds spend most of their time refueling during migration, they are particularly vulnerable to predation risk at stopover sites. The trade-off between energy intake and predation risk is widely acknowledged. However, the

This thesis explores the impact of financialization on university students in Bologna, Italy, who are now facing a housing shortage. The popular university city is currently undergoing a severe housing crisis, presenting significant challenges for students seeking accessible and affordable accommodation. This study aims to understand how financialization exacerbates the housing crisis for Bologna&

År 2022 antogs en lagreform för att stärka brottsoffers ställning och minska skadeverkningarna av brott. Den nya lagstiftningen skulle bland annat utvidga rätten till kränkningsersättning och medföra kraftigt höjda ersättningsnivåer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka den rättsliga regleringen avseende kränkningsersättning och de senaste lagändringar som skett för att höja ersättningsnivåIn 2022, a law reform was passed to strengthen the position of crime victims and reduce the harmful effects of crime.

Omkring 10% av Sveriges befolkning lider av kronisk njursjukdom. För de flesta patienter med långt gången, så kallad terminal njursjukdom är njurtransplantation den bästa behandlingen, både för patientens livskvalitet och ur ett hälsoekonomiskt perspektiv. Många patienter som har en villig donator passar inte med denna på grund av icke kompatibla blodgrupper eller för att de har antikroppar motBackground: For most patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) kidney transplantation is the best treatment option. Best outcomes are achieved with living donation. To increase access to living donation for patients who are not compatible with their living donors, Kidney Exchange Programs (KEPs) have evolved. By exchanging donors, compatibility can be achieved thus enabling transplantation.

Despite the enormous and ever-increasing amount of photographs, and their importance as historical source material, Sweden has never had any national plan for the preservation of this cultural heritage. And there is not longer any public institution, or institutions, that has a central and advisory role in regards to photography in general. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge

In tablet manufacturing, the addition of lubricant to the formulation is of high importance as it ensures smooth compression and ejection of tablets and thereby tablet quality. This study focused on lubrication of tablet formulation using magnesium stearate (MgSt) as a lubricant and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as bulk material. Powder blends were analysed to investigate whether an effect of v

Bakgrund Anorexia nervosa (AN) är en av de psykiatriska sjukdomarna med högst dödlighet. Trots att första fallet upptäcktes redan år 1689 så finns det idag ännu inte någon tillräckligt effektiv behandling, i alla fall inte för vuxna. Viktfobi och en överdriven kroppsfixering utmärker sjukdomen. AN är vanligast bland flickor i tonåren och nästan 3% av alla tonåringar är drabbade. En ökning i antal Background/Aim: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious psychiatric disorder with one of the highest mortality rates of all psychiatric diagnoses.
