Background Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a carcinogen. Exposure to Cr(VI) may occur in different industrial processes such as chrome plating and stainless steel welding. The aim of this study was to assess occupational exposure to Cr(VI) in Denmark. Methods This cross-sectional study included 28 workers and 8 apprentices with potential Cr(VI) exposure and 24 within company controls, all recruite
In order to strengthen the bio-based economy, it is necessary to produce value-added products by processing all fractions of the biomass, especially lignin. Isolation of lignin at atmospheric pressure and lower temperature will make it possible to recover lignin and use it for different purposes. In the present study, lignins were recovered from wood sawdust by applying six different organosolv tr
Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. CH4 is the second most important human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms of climate forcing after carbon dioxide (CO2), and both emissions and atmospheric concentrations of CH4 have continued to increase since 2007 after a temporary pause. The relative importance
Background: The application of international recommendations for paediatric maintenance haemodialysis (HD) could be strengthened by national laws or written recommendations. Our aim was therefore to describe the national rules governing paediatric maintenance HD in European countries. Methods: A national representative, approved by the president of each paediatric nephrology society, was contacted
Ensuring that the existing social inequalities of the current energy system are not transferred to the new system is crucial for the transition towards a low-carbon economy. This is the domain of energy justice—a normative and evaluative framework that has been applied extensively throughout the past decade for understanding the perspective of disadvantaged energy users. However, less attention ha
Inconel 718 is one type of nickel-based alloy used for a large range of applications, including gas turbines and aeroengines components. Although mechanical and thermodynamic properties of this material have been deeply studied in the past years, a method able to investigate local properties of the thin white layer formed on the alloy surface after machining remains challenging. Here, a 90 nm X-ra
This thesis aims to explore the possibility of using deep learning techniques to mine opinions on Twitter, with the objective to predict the political opinion distribution in Sweden. Different methods of gathering and annotating training data are evaluated to achieve accurate and reliable predictions. The models are quite successful at predicting test data, achieving F1-scores in the range of 70 %
Denna uppsats undersöker hur bedömningen av ”laga förfall” görs då en part inte kan ta sig till Sverige från utlandet för att delta vid sin huvudförhandling. Den redogör även för hjälpmedel som kan användas för att underlätta för en frånvarande part att delta vid huvudförhandlingen samt utreder hur den svenska bedömningen av laga förfall förhåller sig till rätten till en rättvis rättegång och i syThis essay examines how the assessment of “lawful excuse” is made when a party is unable to travel to Sweden from abroad to attend their main hearing. It also presents means which can be used to help an absent party to attend the main hearing and examines how the evaluation of lawful excuse made by Swedish courts corresponds to the right to a fair trial and in particular the right to attend and th
Under de senaste två decennierna har sexualbrottslagstiftningen, som återfinns i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, genomgått flera omfattande reformer. Flera av dessa har syftat till att skärpa straffansvaret vid sexualbrott på distans. Vid genomförda reformer har lagstiftarens syfte alltjämt varit att skifta fokus från de sexuella handlingarnas tekniska karaktär till kränkningen som sådan vid avgränsOver the past two decades, the legislation on sexual offences, which is found in Chapter 6 of the Swedish Criminal Code, has undergone several extensive reforms. Several of these have aimed to increase criminal liability for remote sexual offences. Throughout these reforms, the legislator’s intent has consistently been to shift the focus from the technical nature of the sexual acts to the violatio
Det kan anses otillfredsställande att döma den som har haft en central och avgörande roll i brottet, även utan fysisk närvaro och fysiskt bidrag vid brottstillfället, som medverkande. Varken den svenska lagstiftaren eller rättspraxis har ställt upp tydliga kriterier för (med)gärningsmannaskap. I NJA 2006 s. 535 gjorde Högsta domstolen ett varsamt försök att uppställa vissa kriterier/utgångspunkterThe Swedish law has not set forth any evident and accurate criteria for (co-)perpetration. The minimum requirement for (co-)perpetration in Swedish law is support/encouragement and a decisive influence on the occurrence of the crime. Should the person who is the “mastermind” behind the crime but is not physically present or hasn’t physically contributed at the commission of the crime be regarded a
The increase of brownification in surface waters has been a problem for rivers and lakes from the northern hemisphere. The main factors of this water brownification are the increase of dissolved organic matter and iron in water bodies. This study aims to assess the contribution of groundwater flow and surface flow from Bolmsö Island to the water balance of Lake Bolmen, Sweden. This assessment help
