Background: The environment where we humans live provides the fundamental requirements we need to survive – food to eat, water to drink, and air to breathe. The quality of these elements has a major impact on human health, as they can contain substances that are detrimental to health. These we call environmental pollutants. This thesis explores the effects of exposure to air pollutants in particul
Investeringar i transportinfrastruktur medför normalt bättre tillgänglighet, bättre läge, eventuellt ökad byggrätt och en ökning av värdet på de fastigheter som är belägna i närheten av den infrastruktur som anläggs. Värdeökningar som uppstår till följd av offentliga investeringar bör genom värdeåterföring ges tillbaka till det offentliga. En värdeåterföringsmetod är medfinansieringsersättning somInvestments in infrastructure normally lead to better accessibility, a better location, increased building rights and an increase in the value of the properties that are located near to the infrastructure. Increases in value that arise as a result of public investments should be returned to the public sector through value capture. A value capture method is co-financing compensation which according
Mäns våld mot kvinnor har på senaste tiden uppmärksammats, men har sedan lång tid tillbaka varit ett stort problem. Tidigare sågs det som en privat angelägenhet inom familjen medan det idag förstås som ett offentligt problem som berör flera i samhället samt flera samhällsområden. Avvikelseförklaringar till våldet har tidigare präglat förståelsen kring mäns våld mot kvinnor och frågan om våld har sMen's violence against women has recently attracted a lot of attention but has been a major problem for a long time. Previously, it was seen as a private matter within the family, while today it is understood as a public problem that affects many and several areas of society. Explanations of deviations in individuals to violence have previously characterized the understanding of men's viol

The significant environmental impact of the current fossil fuel-based industry is a major concern for society. Consequently, various initiatives are being undertaken to establish a more sustainable industrial model. One example is via the transition from conventional fossil fuel refineries to biorefineries, where renewable raw materials are utilised. Amongst these raw materials, the use of lignoce
Following the impressive development of bulk lead-based perovskite photovoltaics, the “perovskite fever” did not spare nanochemistry. In just a few years, colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have conquered researchers worldwide with their easy synthesis and color-pure photoluminescence. These nanomaterials promise cheap solution-processed lasers, scintillators, and light-emitti
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Increased accumulations of senile plaques and tangles are the known neuropathological hallmarks of AD. However, the exact triggers for such protein accumulations, leading to cognitive impairment and important morphological alteration in AD, are still elusive. Ageing and genetic risk factors do not completely explain the global increase
Background Genetic determinants of stroke, the leading neurological cause of death and disability, are poorly understood and have seldom been explored in the general population. Our aim was to identify additional loci for stroke by doing a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies. Methods For the discovery sample, we did a genome-wide analysis of common genetic variants associated with inc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Andelen vindkraft i elnätet har ständigt ökat under de senaste åren. I många länder utgör idag vindkraften en betydande del av den totala elproduktionen. Detta gäller även vid störningar då vindkraftverk – precis som vattenkraftverk och kärnkraftverk – måste fortsätta bidra till balansen mellan elproduktion och förbrukning. De nya reglerna för anslutning av vindkraft tiSynchronous generators have always been the dominant generation type in the grid. This fact affected both planning and operation of power systems. With the fast increase of wind power share in the grid in the last decade, the situation is changing. In some countries wind power represents already a consistent amount of the total generation. Wind turbines can be classified as non-synchronous generat
Task characteristics such as visual and manual demands influence the postures employed and the muscular load during task execution. According to ergonomic experts at a car assembly plant, these demands are difficult to predict during product and production development and can easily be underestimated. One such task with combined visual and manual demands is the application of deco-tape to the door
Popular Abstract in English Universal Burdens There are Zen students who are in chains when they go to a teacher, and the teacher adds another chain. The students are delighted, unable to discern one thing from another. This is called 'a guest looking at a guest.' -Linji What do Zen master Linji, Muslim scholar ‘Abbād ibn Sulaymān, and Comanche thinker Parra-Wa-Samen have in common? Among manyZen Buddhists have long given the following advice to attain liberation: “Eat when you’re hungry. Sleep when you’re tired.” In other words: “Freedom” is the “knowledge of necessity” (Hegel, Marx, and Engels). Early Islamic communities dealt with the challenge of internal warfare and tyranny and concluded that, “sixty years of tyranny is better than one day’s anarchy.” In other words, the worst-cas
PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it addresses fundamental questions such as: How do planetary systems form and evolve? Are there other systems with planets like ours, including potentially habitable planets? The PLATO 2.0 instrument consists of 34 small ap
Popular Abstract in French Phytoplancton invasif : génétique des populations, phylogéographie, et facteurs facilitant l’invasion par Gonyostomum semen De nos jours, les espèces invasives représentent une importante menace à la biodiversité. Une espèce invasive colonise un nouvel environnement, ou elle était absente, et atteint de forte densité rapidement, diminuant l’abondance ou remplaçant les esnvasive species is a major threat to ecosystems and biodiversity. Invasions by macroorganisms have been intensively studied, but little is known concerning microbial invasions. In aquatic environments, phytoplankton, i.e. autotrophic microbes, have a key role as primary producers. In my thesis, I focused on the population genetic structure and phylogeography of the freshwater raphidophyte Gonyosto
The significance of load modeling for voltage stability studies has been emphasized by several disturbances, which have taken place in the past years. They have shown that the loads in combination with other dynamics are among the main contributors of prolonged low voltage conditions, voltage instability and collapse in the power system. As a result of these disturbances new investigations have co
Vattenkraften utgör ungefär 45 % av Sveriges elproduktion och har varit en stabil energikälla med lågt koldioxidutsläpp under lång tid. Med ett allt större inslag av intermittenta energislag i elsystemet, fyller vattenkraften också en viktig funktion med sin reglerförmåga för balansering. Trots sina fördelar som en lagringsbar energikälla är det tydligt att vattenkraften har negativa effekter på SHydropower stands for around 45 % of Sweden’s electricity production and has been a stable energy source with low carbon emissions for a long time. With increasing share of intermittent energy sources in the electricity system, hydropower also plays a crucial role in balancing the grid. Despite its advantages as a storable energy source, it is clear that hydropower has negative effects on Sweden’s
The invaders vs. the protectors: who wins the battle? Pseudomonas aeruginosa or in short PsA is a type of microorganism, also known as “bacteria” or “germ” or “bug”. It is very tiny and invisible to our naked eyes. This germ is found everywhere in places like soil, and water. PsA can get into the human body through wounds and other injuries and make people sick. To prevent humans from getting inf
I vårt samhälle har produkters utseende och design kommit att bli allt mer viktigt. I takt med denna utveckling har också värdet på design ökat och behovet av skydd för design blivit större. Idag kan industridesign skyddas genom en rad lagar och förordningar på immaterialrättens område. Det skydd som lagstiftaren primärt avsett för formgivning och design är dock det mönsterrättsliga skyddet. I denIn the society we live in today the design of products has become more and more important. This development has resulted in an increased value for good design and the need for protection of design is now even more important than before. Industrial design can nowadays be protected through several types of legislation providing intellectual property rights. The type of protection that the legislator
I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 178 svenska fågelarter för åren 1975–2013. Fåglarna har räknats på vintern och på sommaren enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan 1996) men täcker hela Sverige. Vintern 2012/2013 räknades 130 000 fåglar av 128 artWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
