The aviation industry has since its beginning had an accelerating growth. Simultaneously the emissions have increased, representing today 4.5 percent of the total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions are not accounted for in the Kyoto protocol reduction targets. Present inventory estimations would be greatly affected if this sectors emissions where to be included and the set tar
The ongoing Europeanisation is readily identifiable in our day-to-day life. Particularly in the field of law, the elaboration of a uniform and harmonised European private law is promoted and a truly European legal science is forced. Yet, comparative law and unification of law have concentrated on certain areas, which include mainly commercial law and related areas of civil law. The main issue of t
Assessment of the long-term safety and efficacy of liquid inhaled insulin via AERx((R)) insulin Diabetes Management System (iDMS) in a basal/bolus treatment regimen of adults with Type 1 diabetes. Patients were randomized 2 : 1 to prandial inhaled (n = 205) or subcutaneous (s.c.) (n = 99) insulin, plus one/two daily injections of neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin for 12 months. The primary
The aim of this study was to describe the types and extent of eating difficulties, the need for assistance when eating, the nutritional status and pressure ulcers in consecutive patients (n = 162) admitted for stroke rehabilitation over a period of 1 year. Structured observations and assessments of eating, nutritional status (subjective global assessment of nutritional status), pressure ulcers and
Frequent loss of heterozygosity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has been found in several chromosomal regions such as 3p, 9p, 11q, 13q and 17p. Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene is located at 3p14.2 encompassing a common fragile site, and is identified as a tumor suppressor gene. We examined 57 patients with HNSCC using immunohistochemistry, western blot, and reverse transcripta
Summary This thesis is a study which primary objective is to examine the court´s risk assessment in legal custody, and contact disputes when a child is at risk of being harmed. My thesis also includes an interdisciplinary perspective to give a more detailed understanding of the process – of which consequences it entails if authorities and courts don´t make reliable risk assessments. Physical, psyc
Under de senaste åren har det i den internationella litteraturen och debatten uppmärksammats att det blivit allt vanligare att externa finansiärer helt eller delvis finansierar en parts processföring. Denna framställning undersöker om och i så fall på vilket sätt de svenska kostnadsbestämmelserna vid skiljeför-farande reglerar frågan om tredje mans finansiering av parts processföring. Den rättsdogIn recent years, international literature and debate has brought attention to the fact that it has become increasingly common for third-party funders to partially or fully finance a party’s arbitration and litigation costs. This essay examines if, and in what manner, Swedish arbitration cost regulations gov-ern the issue of third-party financing of a party to the arbitration. The essay uses a trad

Background: Acute thromboembolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is associated with high mortality. Recent advances in diagnostics and surgical techniques may affect outcome. Methods: Through the Swedish Vascular Registry (Swedvasc), 121 open and 42 endovascular revascularizations of the SMA at 28 hospitals during 1999 to 2006 were identified. Patient medical records were retriev
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Heavy alcohol drinking is a risk factor of colorectal cancer (CRC), but little is known on the effect of polymorphisms in the alcohol-metabolizing enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) on the alcohol-related risk of CRC in Caucasian populations. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A nested case-control study (1269 cases matched to 2107controls by sex, age, stu
The triple planetary crisis exerts high pressure on countries to transform their current economic system. The transition to a green economy is not only necessary to ensure sustainable development but also essential for countries to remain economically competitive. The neighbouring countries Panama and Costa Rica are both facing significant challenges under the green transition, despite their diffe
Lifestyle modifications could be crucial in preventing and managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including diet and postprandial glycaemic control. Previous studies on the effects of polar lipids (PLs) on postprandial metabolic responses at Lund University have shown conflicting results. To reconcile these findings and contribute to the existing literature, th
Reglerna som avser efterbehandling av förorenade områden finns i 10 kap miljöbalken (1998:808). Principen om att förorenaren betalar är en central princip som ligger bakom utformningen av dessa regler. Ett av principens syften är att säkerställa efterbehandling av förorenade områden utan att statsbudgeten belastas. Av 10 kap MB framgår att den som är primärt ansvarig för att avhjälpande sker är veThe regulations regarding remediation of polluted areas are found in the 10 chapter of the Swedish environmental code (Miljöbalk (1998:808)). The polluter pays principle is a central principle on which these regulations are based. One of the primary purposes with this principle is to ensure remediation of polluted areas without strain on the national budget. The primary liability lies with the so-
Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment. The real estate sector accounts for 40 percent of the total energy consumption in Europe. To address this issue, the European Union initiated the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to reduce energy consumption and achieve a fully d
As mass timber construction gains momentum worldwide, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged as an important material in the built environment. However, the combustible nature of wood presents challenges and fire safety concerns, and a key interest with respect to CLT is the adhesive bond line. CLT is commonly used in ceiling configuration, and current fire stability evaluations rely predominant
This work studied a metal fluoride transition state analogue (TSA) complex of β-phosphoglucomutase (βPGM), a phosphoryl transfer enzyme catalysing the interconversion of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and glucose-1-phosphate (G1P), and its P146A and A136N mutants using advanced NMR spectroscopy methods. Conformational exchange rates of βPGM:MgF3–:G6P TSA complex were extracted at a grid of temperatures
