Under 1990-talet och fram till 2007 var det vanligt förekommande att byggnader uppfördes med en så kallad enstegstätad fasadkonstruktion. Det byggdes omkring 15 000 – 30 000 bostadshus med denna konstruktion, vilka omfattar 110 000 – 160 000 bostäder. Ett stort antal av byggnaderna uppförda med den aktuella fasadkonstruktionen fick fukt- och mögelskador redan efter några år. År 2007 uppmärksammaDuring the 1990s and up until 2007, it was common that buildings were erected with a construction method known as External Thermal Insulation Composite System Walls. Around 15 000 – 30 000 residential buildings were built using this method and these constitute 110 000 – 160 000 residences. A large number of the buildings constructed with the this method got damp and mold damage after only a few y

The English title of this master thesis project is ”Risk assessment, hazard analysis and HACCP plan during production of fruit- and berry based products”. As the title refers to, this projects is divided into two part. The first one is the risk assessment of a company’s raw material for their production. The second part is a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) method that is used to eva

Lipases are the main fat digestive enzymes present in the digestive system of many animals, microorganisms and plants. Probiotic microorganisms that can possibly produce enzymes are of crucial importance since it can have an effect on human health. Two of the main probiotic strains are Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Biffidobacterium longum, in each there was a putative lipase encoded on the DNA and t

This master thesis addresses urban sprawl, population growth and density in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. The inhabitants of the capital area are estimated to increase by 19-26% by 2040. Reykjavik has a housing shortage, problem with sprawl, movability, walkability and transportation. The thesis question is how densification can be applied to the site of Kirkjusandur, a left over space just

Waste is a growing environmental problem, especially organic waste that decomposes and generates large emissions of methane. In controlled environments, the methane emissions could instead be used to reduce the use of virgin substances, example fossil fouls. A good waste management is therefore of most importance which sometimes can be difficult to achieve. The waste management is particularly dif

The Department of Geology at the university and the Swedish National Heritage Board have initiated a collaboration on palaeclimate reconstruction. The main source of information is a sediment sequence from the dead-ice lake of Lyngsjön, just north of Everöd on the Kristianstad plain. The core contains information from far back in Holocene but the analysis and interpretation can be facilitated if s

Background: Doppler ultrasound can diagnose testicular torsion with high sensitivity and specificity but may delay surgical treatment. This study aims to assess whether the use of doppler ultrasound, in cases with intermediate clinical suspicion of testicular torsion, can improve diagnostic accuracy compared to clinical assessment alone. Methods: We implemented a new clinical algorithm where patie

BACKGROUND: Recent whole genome sequencing studies report that up to 6% of the childhood cancer population harbour a pathogenic variant. Identification of families with hereditary cancer may improve early detection of cancer as well as treatment outcome. AIMS: The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate familial cancer risk in relatives of children with cancer and assess the prevalence of pa

Objective: To determine factors associated with orthopaedic surgeons’ decision to recommend total joint replacement (TJR) in people with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). Design: Cross-sectional study in eleven countries. For consecutive outpatients with definite hip or knee OA consulting an orthopaedic surgeon, the surgeon's indication of TJR was collected, as well as patients’ characteristics in

Fuel injection is one of the most important processes in compression-ignition internal combustion engines owing to its significant impact on the exhaust emissions and thermal efficiency. In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of injection pressure and injection timing on the temporal evolution of the injection rate and injection duration in a specially designed ex

This study examines regional integration in Africa with a focus on the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, COMESA. COMESA, with roots that go back to the beginning of the 1980’s, is one of the largest and most diverse areas for regional integration in Africa and has currently 19 member countries. The goal of the COMESA co-operation is to become a fully integrated area by the year 2025 t

The mutational mechanism underlying the striking diversity in MHC (major histocompatibility complex) genes in vertebrates is still controversial. In order to evaluate the role of inter- and intragenic recombination in MHC gene diversification, we examined patterns of nucleotide polymorphism across an exon/intron boundary in a sample of 31 MHC class IIB sequences of three-spined stickleback (Gaster

The degradation kinetics of normal and branched chain butyrate and valerate are important in protein-fed anaerobic systems, as a number of amino acids degrade to these organic acids. Including activated and primary wastewater sludge digesters, the majority of full-scale systems digest feeds with a significant or major fraction of COD as protein. This study assesses the validity of using a common k

Popular Abstract in Swedish För drygt tio år sedan startade ett forskningsprojekt mellan fyra avdelningar på Kemicentrum i Lund i syfte att ta fram en process för framställning av etanol ur snabbväxande energiskog. Etanol är ett miljövänligt alternativ till bensin som drivmedel för bilar och bussar, och redan idag körs ungefär 100 bussar i svenska städer på detta bränsle. Priset på drivmedelsetanoSystems for on-line monitoring of bioprocesses were developed, consisting of a membrane-based sampling unit, a liquid chromatographic (LC) separation step, and a detector. Two sampling units, a tangential flow filtration (TFF) module and a microdialysis probe, were characterised and evaluated for use in different types of bioprocesses. When using the TFF module, an additional sample clean-up step

The 2008–2009 global financial crisis triggered ‘Green Energy Economy’ (GEE) policy packages to stimulate green growth in many countries. China soon became a leader and, supported by its 11th Five-Year Plan (2006–2010), devoted approximately one-third of its US$ 647 billion stimulus package to green energy technologies. Since then, numerous policy instruments have been implemented to encourage ‘Gr

Many proteins in bovine milk exhibit specific biological activity in addition to their established nutritional value as source of protein. Examples of such bioactive proteins are extracellular glutathione peroxidase, lactoferrin and immunoglobulins. Extracellular glutathione peroxidase (eGSHPx) fulfils an antioxidative function, immunoglobulins are antimicrobial, and it has been suggested that lac

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of patients operated on acutely for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) or otherwise symptomatic aortic aneurysms in a university hospital and in two county hospitals by the same group of vascular surgeons. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: 1 university and 2 county hospitals, Sweden. SUBJECTS: 108 patients operated on urgently for AAA, 81 at the univers
