Climate adaptation is necessary to address the impacts of the climate change which is already unavoidable due to past emissions. There is a strong need for knowledge building, for which climate-related knowledge and information needs to be made available through different types of climate services. The aim with this study is to examine how useful climate services are, as a knowledge base for decis

Möjligheten att visualisera olika sjukdomstillstånd med hjälp av bilder har inom sjukvården blivit mer och mer populärt. Nuklearmedicinska bilder framställs genom att en liten mängd av ett radioaktivt ämne injiceras i patienten och sedan detekteras med hjälp av en gammakamera. Genom att utnyttja olika upptagsmekanismer kan funktionen av ett område eller ett specifikt organ i kroppen undersökas. BlThe purpose of this work is to assess the activity level needed to achieve satisfactory diagnostic information in regional cerebral blood flow single photon emission computed tomography (rCBF SPECT) by introducing a new evaluation method to be used for and hopefully facilitate optimization studies in nuclear medicine in the future. The purpose is further to perform a visual grading study and inves

The aim of this study was to examine how individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) describe their phobia and what techniques they have to manage this in their everyday lives. The material was gathered from a Swedish online support community for people with SAD and panic disorder, posts clearly pertaining to panic disorder were disregarded. We also wanted to examine if this support community c

Detta examensarbete behandlar ett aktuellt ämne – utmaningarna i att implementera elektroniska konossement i den internationella handeln. Många fördelar kan erhållas om de införs, exempelvis en bättre miljö, lägre kostnader för dokumentation och en enklare metod för att sluta avtal. I examensarbetet kombineras den juridiska metoden med intervjuer och enkäter med olika aktörer i branschen – bankerThis thesis deals with an urgent topic today – the challenges of implementing electronic bills of lading in international trade. Lots of advantages can be gained from introducing them, for example a better environment, lower prices of documentation and an easier contractual procedure. In the master thesis, the legal method is combined with interviews and enquiries with different interested partie

The main question raised is if it is possible to hold a classification society liable, if performing their surveys in an unacceptable matter, and on which grounds. The question is effected by the specific rules and regulations concerning safety at sea, as well as general contract and tort law. After a presentation of the liability theories that possibly could be used as a reason for a liability, t

The purpose of this study was to examine what migration means for love immigrants- people who have moved to and live in Sweden to be with someone they love. More specifically its aim was to find out how migration process for love immigrants looks like, what obstacles, opportunities, gains and losses migration brings. Furthermore, I’ve examined how a Swedish partner / husband can be a resource for

Summary When tax treaties are being applied in Swedish law, they are being applied after that the taxable income has been determined according to Swedish law. Usually the tax treaties are dividing the right to tax among the parties of the treaty; this means that the taxation right for one state usually is restricted. Due to treaty abuse, the question arises, how to counter this abuse. The commen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Boken handlar om hur fotojournalistiken som redaktionellt koncept introducerades i Sverige. Det är främst bildtidningen Se som studeras och det under dess första åtta år, dvs. 1938-1945.This dissertation describes and analyses the way that Se reported on the world between 1938—1945. Comparative analysis is the most important technique to describe Se’s type of journalism. Se is compared to the American picture magazine Life, the British picture magazine Picture Post, and the Swedish edition of the German pictorial Signal. Se is also compared with its Swedish competitors, for examp

Heterocyclic amines are mutagenic/carcinogenic compounds that are found in cooked meat and fish. These compounds are of concern in the aetiology of human cancer and therefore it is important to minimise their formation during cooking, and their intake. PhIP (2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]-pyridine, CAS no: 105650-23-5) is one heterocyclic amine that is found at high levels in cooked chick

Seventeen ETV6/RUNX1-positive pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemias were investigated by high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization ( array CGH), gene expression profiling and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Comparing the array CGH and gene expression patterns revealed that genomic imbalances conferred a great impact on the expression of genes in the affected regions. The

In Sweden today, power production with bioenergy systems is more costly than with fossil energy systems. New technology under development, such as integrated gasification and combined cycle technology (IGCC), and reduced biomass costs would improve the competitiveness of bioenergy systems. The CO2 mitigation costs are lower for biomass systems using IGCC technology than for natural gas systems usi

Equipment Fluids & Utility (EFU) is one of nine segments within Alfa Laval. The segment has experienced initial problems with sales volumes on the emerging markets so far entered, even though there is a seemingly large potential. No clear reason for this has been identified, and the management of EFU wants an efficient solution to the problem. The problem was to investigate what areas are affe

Participation of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has been greatly promoted by the European Union (EU) and many CSOs in social policy sphere in particular have increasingly gained their participatory venues and consultative status vis-a-vis EU institutions since the 90’s. However, their expected role to bring even the most marginalised groups’ voice into European policy making process poses a qu

Today in Sweden the concept of the greyzone students that stands between the nine-year compulsory school and special school for mentally retarded children is recognised in different studies and reports. It is not obvious for this group of students to decide which category best can comply with their needs. Should they go in nine-year compulsory school or special school for mentally retarded childre

Industrial Symbiosis (IS) is a tool that may facilitate coordination of the factors necessary to improve resource use efficiency in regional levels. This thesis studies the potential of developing an IS network in rural Portugal, that could support the competitiveness of the local companies, whilst also improving their own and the regions environmental profile. The research is based on a hybrid o

This research aims at finding out the barriers to dedicated energy crop cultivation from the perspective of farmers. The study focuses on the case of willow in the Grudziadz region in Poland. Great potential in the long term has been identified for dedicated energy crops, especially in countries with large areas of agricultural land and the need for diversification of activities in rural areas. H

Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant impact of the resolution of solar irradiation data on the outcomes of hourly production models. Accurate integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems sometimes demands a high-resolution global horizontal irradiance (GHI) time series to capture the rapid fluctuations in PV power output induced by swift irradiance changes. Most of the available database
