Sverige har haft stora framgångar inom skidåkningen där längdlandslaget har tagit många medaljer i olika mästerskap. Det finns ett stort intresse för skidåkning inte bara på elitnivå utan även bland vanliga motionärer. Ett sådant intresse skapar efterfrågan och behov av anläggningar och områden som möjliggör utövande. Skidåkning kan utövas på mer än ett sätt med varierande påverkan på det områdeIn Sweden skiing has been very popular for a long time. Due to the popularity there is a need for land to practice the sport. Cross- country skiing is one kind of skiing that is popular. If you want to go on a skiing tour you can either chose to make your own tracks or use tracks made by machines. When you make your own tracks the imprint that is left in nature is small. Tracks made by machines

Energi och klimatpåverkan är ständigt aktuellt i dagens samhälle. För att motverka den globala uppvärmningen har EU tagit fram klimatmål där bland annat energianvändningen ska minska med 20 % mot 1990 års nivåer år 2020. En stor andel av energianvändningen orsakas i Sverige idag av bygg- och fastighetsbranschen där byggnadsbeståndet står för ca 30 % av energianvändningen. För att klara EU:s klimEnergy use and climate impact are important topics in today’s society. To combat global warming, the EU has set a goal framework with a 20 % reduction target until 2020 for domestic energy use compared to 1990. Today, the building sector in Sweden accounts for 30 % of the domestic energy use. To achieve the goals for energy and climate set by the EU, changes are required. The Swedish parliament ha

This study has focused on challenges encountered when setting up a weather-network for agricultural purposes (e.g. linking temperature to the suitability of crops and pest incidence) with only low-cost sensors and materials. The study included a set of experiments in a meteorological station and a one-month period of observations in a large coffee plantation with a complex terrain in Costa Rica. T

Background and Aims: Pancreatic and periampullary cancers are sometimes found to have a too advanced disease during surgery to allow resection. The aim was to describe characteristics, treatment, outcome, and time trends for patients that were planned for pancreatic surgery but found unresectable during surgery. Material and Methods: Data from the Swedish National Pancreatic and Periampullary Canc

Aims: Preterm birth has been associated with elevated blood pressure early in life; however, hypertension risks from childhood into adulthood remain unclear. We conducted a large population-based study to examine gestational age at birth in relation to hypertension risks from childhood into adulthood. Methods and results: A national cohort study was conducted of all 4 193 069 singleton live births

Although the use of induction therapy has reduced the risk of acute rejection after heart transplantation, its use may be associated with other adverse outcomes. We aimed to examine the effect of no induction (NoInd), induction with basiliximab (BAS), or induction with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) on outcome after heart transplantation. We analyzed data from the International Society for Heart and

Purpose Prostate motion during radiation therapy (ie, intrafraction motion) can cause unwanted loss of radiation dose to the prostate and increased dose to the surrounding organs at risk. A compact but general statistical description of this motion could be useful for simulation of radiation therapy delivery or margin calculations. We investigated whether prostate motion could be modeled with a ra

HLA-DQA1 and -DQB1 genes have significant and potentially causal associations with autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D). To follow on the earlier analysis on high-risk HLA-DQ2.5 and DQ8.1, the current analysis uncovers seven residues (αa1, α157, α196, β9, β30, β57, β70) that are resistant to T1D among subjects with DQ4, 5, 6 and 7 resistant DQ haplotypes. These seven residues form 13 common motifs; si

Background: To use the European Association of Urology Research Foundation (EAURF) registry data to determine the proportion of contemporary Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Enlargement (LUTS/BPE) patients prescribed phytotherapy, and to determine their subjective quality of life and clinical progression responses. Methods: This was a prospective multicenter multinatio

Konkurrensrätt och immaterialrätt har länge betraktats vara rättsområden som skyddar motstående intressen. En av de regleringar som finns för att underlätta förhållandet mellan de två rättsområdena är kommissionens förordning nr 772/2004 för grupper av avtal om tekniköverföring. Genom denna förordning önskar kommissionen garantera en effektiv konkurrens på marknaden samt erbjuda företag som ingår Competition Law and Intellectual Property Law are sometimes considered as areas of law which protect conflicting interests. One of the regulations striving to facilitate the relationship between these two areas is Regulation 772/2004, on the application of article 101.1 TFEU to categories of technology transfer agreements. The objectives of this Regulation are to ensure effective competition and t

Eftersom Storbritannien efter mer än 30 år sedan CISG:s ikraftträdande fortfarande inte har anslutit sig till konventionen, frågan uppstår om varför så är fallet. Kan det vara så att det till en viss del kan bero på skillnader angående hur den engelska tillämpliga lagen ifråga och CISG ställer sig till skyldigheten att betala skadestånd? Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra de likheter och skillnaSince the U.K. after more than 30 years from the CISG’s enforcement still has not adopted the Convention, the question arises; how come? Could it be that this partially is due to differences in how the English applicable law and the CISG addresses liability for damages? The objective of this paper is to elucidate the similarities and differences in the two laws, regarding the seller’s obligation t

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) by analysing the prevalence of different stages of CKD and other morbidities in patients admitted with acute heart failure (AHF), as well as readmissions and mortality.Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is more prevalent among all phenotypes of HF patients than in the general population.

In recent years, application of ensemble models has been increased tremendously in various types of natural hazard assessment such as landslides and floods. However, application of this kind of robust models in groundwater potential mapping is relatively new. This study applied four data mining algorithms including AdaBoost, Bagging, generalized additive model (GAM), and Naive Bayes (NB) models to

Background: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is rare, and contemporary data on real-world healthcare resource utilisation and costs are limited. The objective of this study is to describe long-term healthcare resource utilisation among patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and to identify clinical and treatment-related drivers of costs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective,

Global heating is a topic that is debated in every part of the world. The weather has become more extreme. While scientists debate over the reason for those extremes it is no doubt that emission of greenhouse gases are constantly increasing globally. China has in the past years substantially increased their investment in energy to cope with the demands of their booming economy. Much of the increas

Background: The Construction sector is globally one of the most resource-intensive sectors that accounts for significant material consumption and waste generation. Approximately 10% of Sweden’s construction and demolition waste consists of material waste. Alongside this 30 -35% of the total production costs are linked to waste and spillage. Purpose and research questions: The study aims to analy
