I Sverige är grundvatten är en av de huvudsakliga källorna för dricksvatten. Grundvattenmagasin kommer att påverkas av klimatförändringar genom förändrad effektiv nederbörd och således grundvattenbildning. Dessa vattenresurser ska finnas kvar för framtida generationer och det är därför av vikt att studera dem samt öka förståelsen kring dem. Sveriges miljömål kring grundvatten nämner ett behov av aIn Sweden groundwater is one of the primary sources for drinking water. Groundwater reservoirs will be affected by climate changes with changes in effective precipitation, which means changes in groundwater recharge. It is therefore of value to study and examine these water resources, so that they remain just that for the generations to come. Sweden’s environmental goals regarding groundwater sugg

En av behandlingsmetoderna mot tumörer i levern på Lunds Universitetssjukhus är SIRT som står för ”Selective Internal RadioTherapy” det vill säga en intern radioterapeutisk behandling, i detta fall specifikt för levern. Behandlingen är cirka tio år gammal och i Lund har den utförts sedan december 2010. Under våren 2012 behandlades tre patienter med SIRT då de inte kan få sina cancertumörer i leverIntroduction: Cancer treatment is a process with continuous development. The most common treatment, within the field of radiation physics, is external radiation therapy, whereas one of the least common methods is Selective Internal RadioTherapy (SIRT). SIRT is a rather novel method for treating liver carcinoma. Microspheres containing 90Y are infused directly into the liver, via the hepatic artery

Abstract Previous research on tobacco and Arabidopsis cell suspensions have shown that plants can be permeabilized by the membrane-active peptide, alamethicin. However, pretreatment of cells with cellulase produced by the fungus Trichoderma viride induced resistance to alamethicin. In this project, I investigated the effect of alamethicin treatment on Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings and whether a

In 2015, media reported on new allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse committed by UN peacekeepers against civilians. This was not the first time such allegations were made. Although a number of measures have been taken at the UN level to combat these crimes, the problem persists. The majority of the personnel in UN peacekeeping operations are members of national military contingents, and

In order to increase the traffic safety on two-lane roads the Swedish Road Administration introduced new milled rumble strips in the middle of the lane. These rumble strips are a way to attract drivers attention if they are about to unintentionally leave the lane. The milled rumble strips cause both internal and external noise and vibration internally in the vehicle. The Swedish Road Administratio

Uppskattningsvis ligger idag mellan 2,5 till 20 miljoner ton olja i vrak runt världens kuster. Under tusentals år har den kommersiella sjöfarten dominerat haven. Det var dock inte förrän industrialiseringen på 1800-talet som olja började användas i allt större utsträckning. I den kommersiella sjöfarten är frakt av miljöfarliga ämnen inte något ovanligt, varje dag skeppas cirka en halv miljon ton oCurrently, between 2,5 and 20 million tons of oil are found in shipwrecks around the world. For thousands of years, commercial sea transport has dominated the seas. However, it was not until the industrial revolution in the 19th century that oil started being used extensively. Within commercial sea transport, the shipping of environmentally hazardous substances is not uncommon. About half a millio

Problem: Since business process management (BPM) is a very spacious concept, it is influenced from many other concepts, standards and methods that determine its constancy. Companies are asked to restructure their organisation in order to meet internal and external customer demands. The term quality comes to the fore. Organisations such as ISO and the EFQM try to certify or assess companies in term

The project has been developed from a proposal made by RegionService (technical real estate for Region Skåne) and based on the replacement of light fixtures from fluorescent lamps to white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in some hallways in Helsingborgs Lasarett (The Hospital in Helsingborg). The results turned out to be positive and further replacement were made in nearby buildings as well. My part

As part of current efforts to work towards sustainable development, find solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt cities to the effects of climate change, such as floods and extreme heat, there are high hopes that nature-based solutions (NBS) can support the transformation needed. Based on the knowledge that implementation and governance of urban NBS is still emerging and constrained

Introduction: Specific coffee subtypes and tea may impact risk of pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer differently. We investigated the association between coffee (total, caffeinated, decaffeinated) and tea intake and risk of breast cancer. Methods: A total of 335,060 women participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Nutrition and Cancer (EPIC) Study, completed a dietary questio

This paper presents findings from a longitudinal, experimental project investigating the effect of translation on the morphosyntactic accuracy of advanced Swedish (L1) learners of English (L2). The subjects were first-year students of English at a Swedish university. The curriculum was communicative and translation (Focus-on-Forms) was used judiciously. The research is couched in cognitive psycho

This doctoral dissertation deals with a phenomenon that is often referred to in sports, but still poorly understood from a scientific angle: psychological momentum (PM). No consensus has been agreed on how to label this phenomenon, and other terms such as momentum or behavioural momentum (BM) are often used interchangeably. In everyday language, PM can be explained by periods in a match where ever

Introduktion: Flera studier har påpekat att det kan finnas ett samband mellan förändringar i nivån av kvinnligt könshormon och förvärrad tandlossning. Hur östrogen påverkar tandfästet är inte kartlagt. Det finns två östrogenreceptorer (ER), ERα och ERβ och betydelsen av de båda receptorerna är inte kartlagda. Målet med denna avhandling har varit att undersöka uttrycket av ER i bindvävsceller i rotAbstract INTRODUCTION: Several studies have addressed the association between changes in levels of the female sex hormone, estrogen, and changes in the parameters of periodontitis, but the mechanism behind estrogenic effects in the periodontium is poorly understood. There are two subtypes of estrogen receptors (ER), ERalpha and ERbeta. The objectives of the present studies were to map periodontal

This dissertation investigates the relation between aesthetics and politics by interpreting three experimental novels by Virginia Woolf, Djuna Barnes and Gertrude Stein. By theorizing the relation between language, subject, voice and ideology it questions the autonomous subject as a ground for political action and criticality. This is done by challenging language as a vehicle for individual expres

The thermal effects related to wearing a bicycle helmet are complex and different studies have investigated single parts of this topic. A literature review was produced and published (Bogerd et al., 2015) summarizing the different findings to give a complete overview on this topic as well as to suggest new perspectives. Headgear increases head insulation and therefore is mainly problematic under w
