Background: Hyper- as well as hypoglycemia may be detrimental for brain energy metabolism and even a moderate increase in blood glucose concentration can affect outcome adversely. During physiological conditions, glucose concentration obtained from microdialysis of subcutaneous adipose tissue adequately reflects plasma glucose concentration. This study examines whether this correlation is also obt

Häktning är det mest ingripande av våra personella tvångsmedel. Oskyldig eller inte följer det av svensk lag att varje intagen ska behandlas med respekt för sitt människovärde. Vidare ska verkställigheten av häktningen utformas så att negativa följder motverkas, med sådana följder avses bland annat psykiska, sociala och ekonomiska konsekvenser som kan följa av ett frihetsberövande. Om det finns riPre trial detention is a coercion measure where a suspect is incarcerated between the time he or she is being arrested until the trial. A pre trial detainee is considered innocent until proven guilty and thus it is important that the detention is not used as a punishment or rehabilitation. Whether a detainee is innocent or not he or she should be treated with respect for his or her human dignity.

Implication of DNAJ co-chaperones in Neurodegenerative diseases General improvements of human life conditions at different levels translate into an increasingly growing life span expectancy of the earth population. This, however comes with the cost of an increase in neurodegenerative diseases which broadly increases in frequency with age. Most age related brain diseases such as Parkinson’s dis

Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att utveckla och utvärdera ett realtidssystem som utför analys i molnet och lokalt med hjälp av AWS. De viktigaste målen har varit att skapa ett system som är så snabbt som möjligt och att analysera vilken del av analysen som kan göras i molnet och vilken del som måste göras lokalt. Den förväntade nyttan med systemet är de minskade utvecklings- och underhållskosThe purpose of the degree project has been to develop and evaluate a real-time analysis system which performs analysis in the cloud and locally using AWS. The most important goals have been to create a system which is as fast as possible and to reflect over which part of the analysis can be made in the cloud and which part has to be made local. The expected utility of the system is a consequence o

This master’s thesis explores how a Global Manufacturing Network can be designed with predefined requirements for local final assembly at an overseas plant. This was done in collaboration with Alfa Laval, where the global manufacturing network of Freshwater Generators (FWGs) was analyzed. The study evaluated options of sourcing directly from suppliers and via the main factory to different extents.

Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om ett fullgott juridiskt ramverk i syfte att skydda den arktiska regionen redan är etablerat, eller om ytterligare juridiska instrument behöver tillkomma för att så ska vara fallet. Frågan diskuteras med bakgrund av det faktum att den arktiska isen smälter i en hög takt, och att framtiden för regionen sannolikt kommer att se väldigt annorThe main purpose of this thesis is to examine whether or not the legal framework to govern the Arctic can be said to be in place already, or if additional judicial measures need to be taken, given the future that awaits the region as a result of the ongoing rapid ice melt. For many decades, or even centuries, it was the common perception that the Arctic would remain permanently ice-covered, and be

När domstolar ska tolka ett avtal och ett tolkningsalternativ inte kan väljas utifrån subjektiv- och objektiv tolkning finns det generella tolkningsregler el-ler prioritetsregler att tillämpa för att fastställa avtalsinnehållet. Huvudsakli-gen finns det två sådana som kan tillämpas, oklarhetsregeln och minimumre-geln. Oklarhetsregeln innebär att avtalet tolkas mot den som bär ansvaret för oklarhetWhen courts fail to choose an appropriate interpretation of a contract based on subjective and objective methods of interpretation, there are general rules of interpretation or priority which can be applied to determine a satisfactory meaning of the contract. Essentially, there are two such rules available. Ac-cording to the contra proferentem rule, the contract or clause is to be inter-preted aga

Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. However, due to the complexity of a catchment, models should b

För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport.
