In recent years a lot of criticism against the main assumptions of economic modeling has come to up, this has led to physicists entering the field of economics. By applying models originally developed for physics to economics, especially finance, analyzing methods with a different approach can be used. Inspired by earthquakes Didier Sornette created a model that analyze financial market crashes. W
I januari 2008 trädde två nya lagar ikraft i Sverige. Lagen (2007:978) om hemlig rumsavlyssning gav de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna rätten att använda en ny metod, rumsavlyssning för att utreda redan begångna brott och lagen (2007:979) om åtgärder för att förhindra vissa särskilt allvarliga brott introducerade en möjlighet för myndigheterna att använda hemliga tvångsmedel som teleavlyssning, telIn January 2008 two new legislations entered into force in Sweden. The law (2007:978) on bugging gave the crime fighting authorities the right to use a new method, bugging, to investigate already committed crimes and the law (2007:979) on measures to prevent particularly serious crimes introduced a possibility for the authorities to use secret surveillance as telephone tapping, wire monitoring, fi
A supercritical fluid extraction methodology was used to extract flavoring and bioactive compounds from truffles. Some parameters such as CO2 flow rate (1–3 mg/mL), extraction time (15–90 min) and different trapping food matrices (grape seed oil, gelatin, agar agar and water) were optimized using response surface methodology to enhance extraction and trapping yields. The optimal conditions (2.27 m
Loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) from farmland is a key threat to the capacity of soils to provide ecosystem services and exacerbates climate change. In alignment with a published protocol, we conducted a review and meta-analysis of time series of SOC measurements in long-term agricultural experiments to study absolute SOC changes under different agricultural management regimes. Our results show
Large gulls are generalist predators that play an important role in Arctic food webs. Describing the migratory patterns and phenology of these predators is essential to understanding how Arctic ecosystems function. However, from all six large Arctic gull taxa, including three long-distance migrants, to date seasonal movements have been studied only in three and with small sample sizes. To document
År 2011 infördes entreprenörskap i den svenska skolans läroplaner. På 1980-talet ansågs dock utbildningsorganisationen Ung Företagsamhet (UF), som fokuserar på entreprenörskapsutbildning för ungdomar, vara ideologiskt kontroversiell. Under loppet av 30 år har synen på entreprenörskap och UF:s status förändrats i grunden. Denna avhandling undersöker hur och varför entreprenörskap blev ett kunskapsoIn 2011, entrepreneurship was added to the curricula of Swedish schools at all levels. In the 1980s, however, the educational organization Junior Achievement (JA), that focuses on entrepreneurship education for young people, was considered ideologically controversial. Over the course of 30 years, the view of entrepreneurship and the status of JA has changed fundamentally. This thesis investigates
På neonatalavdelningen i Lund bedrivs högspecialicerad vård av barn som föds i för tidig gestalationsålder. I december 2020 skedde en brand i sjukhusets källare, detta resulterade i att brandskyddet på avdelningen förbättrades då brister upptäcktes under branden. Denna rapport är huvudmomentet i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. I rapporten analyseras och utvärderas detOn the neonatal ward in Lund a higly specialized medical care is practised on infants born in a to early gestalation age. In december 2020 there was a fire in the hospitals basement which resulted in improving the fire protection in the ward when flaws where discoverd after the fire. This report is the main part of the course fire protection risk evaluation on Lunds Techincal University. In the re
Popular Abstract in Swedish DNA i form av kromosomer finns i cellerna och innehåller information som styr flertalet av kroppens funktioner. Människor har vanligtvis 23 par kromosomer, där den ena kromosomen i ett par härstammar från personens mamma och den andra från dess pappa. DNA ser ut som en vriden stege där stegpinnarna består av nukleotidbaspar. I cancerceller kan det finnas bitar av kromIn human cells there are usually two copies of each chromosome, but in cancer cells abnormalities could exist. The differences consist of segments of chromosomes with an altered number of copies. There can be deletions as well as amplifications and the lengths of the segments can also vary. Localising the deviant regions is of great importance for increasing the knowledge of the disease. In this t
Purpose Programs referred to as Fast-Track/Rapid Recovery/Enhanced Recovery After Surgery have proven both effective and safe in joint replacement surgery, to the degree where same-day discharge (SDD) has been attempted in carefully selected cases at specialized outpatient units. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate a same-day surgery protocol regarding safety using the minor p
Objective: To develop a simple and effective risk score for predicting which stroke patients will have persistent impairment of upper extremity motor function at 90 days. Design: Post hoc analysis of clinical trial patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke who were followed for 90 days to determine functional outcome. Setting: Patient were hospitalized at facilities across the United States
With a perfectly uniform illumination, the amount and concentration of fluorophores in any (biological) sample can be read directly from fluorescence micrographs. However, non-uniform illumination in optical micrographs is a common, yet avoidable artefact, often caused by the setup of the microscope, or by inherent properties caused by the nature of the sample. In this paper, we demonstrate simple
In Sweden most prisoners serve a short prison sentence. Since the majority of all prisoners are subject to mandatory pre-release after having served two-thirds of the sentence, few spend more than four months in prison. Still, there is a group who serve prison sentences of two years or more. The resettlement process varies for the two groups, but all prisoners have a right to be supported, aiming
Nanofiltration is nowadays established in many industries for the separation and purification of aqueous solutions. The maximum operating temperature of commercial nanofiltration membrane is often given with 50 – 60 ºC based on the three-layer structure of membranes consisting of a polyester or polypropylene support paper with a polysulphone support layer and an active layer of polyamide. Operatin
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with slow disease progression. There is a lack of descriptive data from Sweden concerning patients with this diagnosis. This study extracted data on patients admitted to the dermatology department at Lund University Hospital, Sweden from 1996 to 2010. Forty-four patients with clinically and histopathologically verified MF were identifie
BackgroundFrom 2012–2015, the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and of Pediatrics at the University of Copenhagen conducted a project, “Internationalization at Home ”, offering clinical teaching in English. The project allowed international students to work with Danish speaking students in a clinical setting. Using semi-quantitative questionnaires to 89 clinicians about use of English and n
Songbirds have evolved diverse strategies to cope with seasonality, including long-, medium-, and short-distance migration. There is some evidence that birds with a longer migration distance deposit fuel faster. However, most studies focus on long-distance migrants. Comparisons between species with different migration distances are necessary to broaden our understanding of fueling capacity in migr
Spirocyclic acetal structures have recently received growing attention in polymer science due to their dual potential to raise the glass transition temperature (Tg) and enable chemical recycling of biobased polymers. In the present work, a vanillin-based diol with a spirocyclic acetal structure was incorporated in a series of rigid amorphous polyesters based on neopentyl glycol and dimethyl t
In most industrial product development projects, computer-based design analysis, or simply design analysis, is frequently utilized. Several design analysis process models exist in the literature for the planning, execution and follow-up of such design analysis tasks. Most of these process models deal explicitly with design analysis tasks within two specific contexts: the context of design evaluati
